Westerse massa misleiding in aanloop naar WOIII……

Op
CounterPunch werd afgelopen woensdag  een artikel
van Colin Todhunter gepubliceerd. Hierin stelt Todhunter dat alles
erop lijkt dat we op weg zijn naar WOIII, maar dat de reguliere media de wereldbevolking op grove manier misleiden door dit te verzwijgen…….

De
illegale oorlog van de VS en de NAVO tegen het Libië van Khadaffi
hebben de sociale structuur en de infrastructuur van dat land volledig in puin
gelegd…….. Khadaffi moest vallen daar hij de westerse hegemonie
in Afrika probeerde te ondermijnen en het continent zelfstandig wilde maken….. Waar zijn wil voor de introductie van de gouden dinar niet vergeten
moet worden, een munt die anders dan de dollar op op de tegenwaarde
van goud gebaseerd zou zijn, terwijl de dollar lucht als tegenwaarde heeft…… Met de gouden dinar wilde Khadaffi de dollar
vervangen als internationaal betaalmiddel en als valuta voor de aan- en verkoop van olie en gas….. Tja met zulke plannen
heb je je doodvonnis, door de VS te voltrekken, al getekend, zelfs voor je deze plannen kan uitvoeren………

Met
enorme leugens, als het opkomen voor mensenrechten, democratie brengen of een dictator
verstoten, zogenaamde politieke argumenten, herhaald door de reguliere westerse media, werd de
westerse bevolking klaargestoomd voor deze illegale oorlog, zoals dit
eerder al gebeurde voorafgaand aan de door de VS (met behulp van o.a. NAVO landen) illegaal gevoerde oorlogen tegen Afghanistan en Irak…..

Todhunter
legt verder uit dat de demonisering van Rusland en China met maar
één doel wordt gevoerd: een oorlog van de VS tegen deze landen
om zo haar wereldhegemonie te kunnen vestigen over de gebieden die deze landen
vertegenwoordigen, of beter gezegd verder uit te
breiden, immers de VS heeft rond Rusland en China een enorm aantal
militaire bases gebouwd………. 

Voor de oorlogen tegen Afghanistan,
Irak, Libië en Syrië, bediende de VS zich van dezelfde massa misleiding, waar zoals gezegd ook destijds het grootste deel van de westerse politici en de reguliere westerse media braaf aan mee hebben
gedaan…….

Uitermate
wrang dat de politici die met deze misleiding bezig zijn, inclusief
de door hen gesteunde media, nu het grootste woord voeren over ‘fake
news’ (of ‘nepnieuws’) terwijl zij in feite de grote verkondigers zijn van
fake news en dan fake news waarmee deze eeuw al meer dan 2 miljoen
mensen zijn vermoord (door de VS en haar hielenlikkende westerse
bondgenoten van de NAVO)…….

Mass
Deception and the Prelude to World War

APRIL

TODHUNTER

In
Libya, NATO bombed a path to Tripoli to help its proxy forces on the
ground oust Gaddafi. Tens of thousands lost their lives and that
country’s social fabric and infrastructure now lies in ruins.
Gaddafi was murdered and his plans to assert African independence and
undermine Western (
not
least French
)
hegemony on that continent have been rendered obsolete.

In
Syria, the US, Turkey, France, Britain, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have
been helping to arm militants. The Daily Telegraph’s March 2013
article “US and Europe in ‘major airlift of arms to Syrian rebels
through Zagreb’” reported that 3,000 tons of weapons dating back
to the former Yugoslavia had been sent in 75 planeloads from Zagreb
airport to the rebels. The New York Times March 2013 article “Arms
Airlift to Syria Rebels Expands, With CIA Aid” stated that Arab
governments and Turkey had sharply increased their military aid to
Syria’s opposition fighters. This aid included more than 160
military cargo flights.

Sold
under the notion of a spontaneous democratic uprising against a
tyrannical political leader, Syria is little more than an illegal war
for 
capital,
empire and energy
. The
West and its allies have been 
instrumental
in organising the war
 as
elaborated by Tim Anderson in his book ‘
The
Dirty War on Syria
’.

Over
the last 15 years or so, politicians and the media have been
manipulating popular sentiment to get an increasingly war-fatigued
Western public to support ongoing wars under the notion of protecting
civilians or a bogus ‘war on terror’. They spin a yarn about
securing women’s rights or a war on terror in Afghanistan, removing
despots from power in Iraq, Libya or Syria or protecting human life,
while then going on to attack or help destabilise countries,
resulting in the loss of hundreds of thousands of civilian lives.

Emotive
language designed to instil fear about potential terror attacks in
Europe or myths about humanitarianism intervention are used as a
pretext to wage imperialist wars in mineral-rich countries and
geostrategically important regions.

Part
of the battle for the public’s hearts and minds is to keep people
confused. They must be convinced to regard these wars and conflicts
as a disconnected array of events and not as the planned machinations
of empire. The ongoing disinformation narrative about Russian
aggression is part of the strategy. Ultimately, Russia (and China) is
the real and increasingly imminent target: Moscow has stood in the
way of the West’s plans in Syria and both Russia and China
are 
undermining
the role of the dollar
 in
international trade, a lynchpin of US power.

The
countries of the West are effectively heading for war with Russia but
relatively few among the public seem to know or even care. Many are
oblivious to the slaughter that has already been inflicted on
populations with the help of their taxes and governments in far-away
lands. With the reckless neoconservative warmonger John Bolton now
part of the Trump administration, it seems we could be hurtling
towards major war much faster than previously thought.

Most
of the public remains blissfully ignorant of the psy-ops being
directed at them through the corporate media. Given recent
events in the UK and the ramping up of anti-Russia rhetoric, if
ordinary members of the public think that Theresa May or Boris
Johnson ultimately have their best interests at heart, they should
think again. The major transnational corporations based on Wall
Street and in the City of London are the ones setting Anglo-US policy
agendas often via the Brookings Institute, Council on Foreign
Relations, International Crisis Group, Chatham House, etc.

The
owners of these companies, the capitalist class, have off-shored
millions of jobs as well as their personal and company tax
liabilities to boost their profits and have bankrupted economies. We
see the results in terms of austerity, unemployment, powerlessness,
privatization, deregulation, banker control of economies, corporate
control of food and seeds, the stripping away of civil liberties,
increased mass surveillance and wars to grab mineral resources and
ensure US dollar hegemony. These are the interests the politicians
serve.

It’s
the ability to maximise profit by shifting capital around the world
that matters to this class, whether on the back of distorted free
trade agreements, which open the gates for plunder, or through
coercion and militarism, which merely tear them down.

Whether
it is the structural violence of neoliberal economic policies or
actual military violence, the welfare of ordinary folk around the
world does not enter the equation. In an imposed oil-thirsty,
war-driven system of globalised capitalism and over-consumption that
is wholly unnecessary and is stripping the planet bare, the bottom
line is that ordinary folk – whether workers in the West, 
farmers
in India
 or
civilians displaced en masse in war zones like Syria – must be bent
according to the will of Western capital.


We
should not be fooled by made-for-media outpourings of morality about
good and evil that are designed to create fear, outrage and support
for more militarism and resource-grab wars. The shaping of public
opinion is a multi-million-dollar industry.

Take
for instance the mass harvesting of Facebook data by Cambridge
Analytica to shape the outcomes of the US election and the Brexit
campaign. According to journalist 
Liam
O’Hare
,
its parent company Strategic Communications Laboratories (SCL) has
conducted ‘behavioural change’ programmes in over 60 countries
and its clients have included the British Military of Defence, the US
State Department and NATO. According to O’Hare, the use of the
media to fool the public is one of SCL’s key selling points.


Among
its activities in Europe have been campaigns targeting Russia. The
company has “sweeping links” with Anglo-American political and
military interests. In the UK, the interests of the governing
Conservative Party and military-intelligence players are brought
together via SCL: board members include “an array of Lords, Tory
donors, ex-British army officers and defense contractors.”

O’Hare
says it is clear is that all SCL’s activities have been
inextricably linked to its Cambridge Analytica arm. He states:
“International deception and meddling is the name of the game for
SCL. We finally have the most concrete evidence yet of shadowy actors
using dirty tricks in order to rig elections. But these operators
aren’t operating from Moscow… they are British, Eton educated,
headquartered in the City of London and have close ties to Her
Majesty’s government”

So,
what are we to make of the current anti-Russia propaganda we witness
regarding the nerve agent incident in Salisbury and the failure of
the British government to provide evidence to demonstrate Russian
culpability? The relentless accusations by Theresa May and Boris
Johnson that have been parroted across the corporate media in the
West indicate that the manipulation of public perception is
everything and facts count for little. It is alarming given what
is at stake – the escalation of conflict between the West and a
major nuclear power.

Welcome
to the world of mass deception 
à
la
 Edward
Bernays and Josef Goebbels
.

US
social commentator Walter Lippmann once said that ‘responsible men’
make decisions and have to be protected from the ‘bewildered herd’
– the public. He added that the public should be subdued, obedient
and distracted from what is really happening. Screaming patriotic
slogans and fearing for their lives, they should be admiring with awe
leaders who save them from destruction.

Although
the West’s political leaders are manipulating, subduing and
distracting the public in true Lippmannesque style, they aren’t
‘saving’ anyone from anything: their reckless actions towards
Russia could lead towards a war that could wipe out all life on the
planet.

John Bolton heeft beloofd dat Iran voor 2019 onder een ander regime zal leven…….

Met de benoemingen van John Bolton, een gewetenloze
psychopaat en zijn collega psychopaat Pompeo, kan je gerust
stellen dat Trump een oorlogskabinet heeft gevormd, zo betoogt Robert
Mackey terecht. Op 23 maart jl. publiceerde hij een
artikel op The Intercept, over de benoeming van Bolton.

Hierin vertelt Mackey o.a. dat Bolton aan
gevluchte Iraniërs in de VS heeft beloofd dat voor 2019 Iran een
andere regime zal hebben (een door de VS gewenst regime, zoals je begrijpt….) en hij dan feest komt vieren in
Teheran…….. 

Naast psychopaat is deze misdadiger ook nog eens
ongelofelijk dom immers in Irak is er nog steeds geen vrede, ondanks
de meer dan achterlijke vaststelling van zijne domme hufterigheid en oorlogsmisdadiger Bush
dat de ‘mission accomplished’ was, is het in feite nog steeds oorlog
in Irak, een oorlog die intussen aan dik meer dan 1,5 miljoen mensen het leven heeft gekost……….

Hoe denkt topidioot Bolton dan Iran in
een jaar tijd te kunnen verslaan? Iran heeft een uitermate goed
getraind leger, dit i.t.t. tot het leger dat Saddam Hoessein in Irak
ter beschikking stond….. Kernraketten gebruiken tegen Iran staat zo te horen niet op de
verlanglijst van Bolton, daar hij zelf feest wil vieren in Teheran, al zal het me niet verbazen als Bolton denkt dat een zwaar radioactief besmet gebied binnen een paar maanden ‘schoon waait’. Voorts zijn er nog de nieuwe tactische kernwapens van de VS, kernwapens die op het slagveld gebruikt moeten gaan
worden en daar alleen ‘een beperkt gebied’ zwaar radioactief besmet zouden maken…….. 

Dan is er nog de vraag wat Rusland en
China zullen doen, als de VS een oorlog tegen Iran begint (met
de kans dat de VS ook een tweede front opent op Noord-Korea), gezien de
troepenopbouw her en der…….

AMONG
THOSE MOST
 alarmed
by President Donald Trump’s selection of 
John
Bolton
 as
his new national security adviser on Thursday were supporters of the
Iran nuclear deal, the 2015 international agreement that curbed
Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for a partial lifting of
economic sanctions.

Rob
Malley, who coordinated Middle East policy in the Obama
administration, observed that Bolton’s appointment, along with the
nomination of Iran deal critic Mike Pompeo as secretary of state,
seemed to signal that the agreement would most likely be “
dead
and buried

within months. Trita Parsi, leader of the National Iranian American
Council 
wrote
on Twitter
:
“People, let this be very clear: The appointment of Bolton is
essentially a declaration of war with Iran. With Pompeo and Bolton,
Trump is assembling a WAR CABINET.”

Their
alarm was understandable. Bolton, who made his name as a belligerent
member of George W. Bush’s State Department and a Fox News
contributor, has not only 
demanded that
the Trump administration withdraw from the nuclear deal, he also
previously advocated 
bombing
Iran instead
.
Bolton has spent the better part of a decade 
calling
for
 the
United States to help 
overthrow the
theocratic government in Tehran and hand power to a cult-like group
of Iranian exiles with no real support inside the country.

John Bolton

@AmbJohnBolton

Withdrawing from the Iran should be a top @realDonaldTrump administration priority.

Just
eight months ago, at a Paris gathering, Bolton told members of the
Iranian exile group, known as the Mujahedeen Khalq, MEK, or People’s
Mujahedeen, that the Trump administration should embrace their goal
of immediate regime change in Iran and recognize their group as a
“viable” alternative.

The
outcome of the president’s policy review should be to determine
that the Ayatollah Khomeini’s 1979 revolution will not last until
its 40th birthday,” 
Bolton
said
.
(The 40th anniversary of the Iranian revolution will be on February
11, 2019.) “The declared policy of the United States should be the
overthrow of the mullahs’ regime in Tehran,” Bolton added. “The
behavior and the objectives of the regime are not going to change
and, therefore, the only solution is to change the regime itself.”

As
the Iranian expatriate journalist Bahman Kalbasi noted, Bolton
concluded his address to the exiles with a rousing promise: “And
that’s why, before 2019, we here will celebrate in Tehran!”

Bahman Kalbasi

@BahmanKalbasi

8 months ago among MEK supporters tells them they will overthrow ’s regime and celebrate in with Bolton himself present, “before 2019”

To
understand how extraordinary it is that the man about to become the
president’s most senior national security official made this
promise to the MEK, it is important to know that, until recently, the
Iranian dissidents had spent three decades trying to achieve their
aims through violence, including terrorist attacks.

After
members of the MEK helped foment the 1979 revolution, in part
by 
killing
American civilians
 working
in Tehran, the group then lost a bitter struggle for power to the
Islamists led by the revolution’s leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khomeini. With its leadership forced to flee Iran in 1981, the MEK’s
members set up a government-in-exile in France and established a
military base in Iraq, where they were given arms and training by
Saddam Hussein, as part of a strategy to destabilize the government
in Tehran that he was at war with.

In
recent years, as 
The
Intercept has reported
,
the MEK has poured millions of dollars into reinventing itself as a
moderate political group ready to take power in Iran if
Western-backed regime change ever takes place. To that end,
it 
lobbied
successfully
 to
be removed from the State Department’s 
list
of foreign terrorist organizations
 in
2012. The Iranian exiles achieved this over the apparent opposition
of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in part by paying 
a
long list of former U.S. officials
 hefty
speaking fees of between $10,000 to $50,000 for hymns of praise like
the one Bolton delivered last July.

But, according
to Ariane Tabatabai
,
a Georgetown University scholar, the “cult-like dissident group”
— whose married members were reportedly 
forced
to divorce and take a vow of lifelong celibacy
 —
“has no viable chance of seizing power in Iran.”

If
the current government is not Iranians’ first choice for a
government, the MEK is not even their last — and for good reason.
The MEK supported Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq War. The
people’s discontent with the Iranian government at that time did
not translate into their supporting an external enemy that was firing
Scuds into Tehran, using chemical weapons and killing hundreds of
thousands of Iranians, including many civilians. Today, the MEK is
viewed negatively by most Iranians, who would prefer to maintain the
status quo than rush to the arms of what they consider a corrupt,
criminal cult.

Despite
such doubts that the MEK’s political wing, the National Council of
Resistance of Iran, is any more reliable than Ahmad Chalabi’s Iraqi
National Congress proved to be, spending lavishly on paid
endorsements has earned the group a bipartisan roster of Washington
politicians willing to sign up as supporters. At 
a
previous gala
,
in 2016, Bolton was joined in singing the group’s praises by
another former U.N. ambassador, 
Bill
Richardson
; a
former attorney general, 
Michael
Mukasey
; the
former State Department spokesperson 
P.J.
Crowley
; the
former Homeland Security adviser 
Frances
Townsend
; the
former Rep. 
Patrick
Kennedy
,
D-R.I.; and the former Vermont Gov. 
Howard
Dean
.
That Paris gala was hosted by 
Linda
Chavez
,
a former Reagan administration official.

At
a similar event this January, the backdrop behind former Speaker of
the House Newt Gingrich, as he praised MEK leader Maryam Rajavi, made
the aim of the group’s investment in American politicians clear.

Newt Gingrich, Auvers sur Oise, France 19/01/2018 - Maryam Rajavi and Newt Gingrich in a conference on January 19, 2018 in the office of NCRI, Auvers sur Oise, north of Paris speaks to support the uprising of the Iranian people for regime change. Newt Gingrich, Former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives said this is the opportunity that Iranian diaspora and people inside Iran have to get rid of this dictatorship.

Gingrich addressed a Paris conference of the Iranian exile group

At
the group’s celebration of Nowruz, the Persian New Year, in Albania
on Tuesday, Rajavi was 
joined
on stage
 by
Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City.

Maryam Rajavi

@Maryam_Rajavi

Mr. Giuliani reiterated that unlike other countries in the region, there is an alternative to the ruling regime in Iran. Thus, its overthrow will lead to peace and tranquillity in a region that has been severely threatened by the clerical regime.

Although
the official announcement from the White House was not made until
Thursday, Giuliani told the group, to loud applause, that Bolton “is
going to be President Trump’s national security adviser.”

In
case there was any doubt among the exiles that Bolton might not
advise Trump to overthrow Iran’s government, Giuliani assured them
that “if anything, John Bolton has become more determined that
there needs to be regime change in Iran, that the nuclear agreement
needs to be burned, and that you need to be in charge of that
country.”

Moments
later, Giuliani led the crowd in chanting “regime change.”

Despite
the fact that Trump ran for office as a critic of the decision to
invade Iraq, Bolton still refuses to call the preemptive attack a
mistake.

That
position stunned even Fox News’s Tucker Carlson, during an
interview two weeks ago. After Carlson 
pointed
out
 that
Bolton had called for regime change in Iraq, Libya, Iran, and Syria,
and the first of those had been “a disaster,” Bolton disagreed,
saying, “I think your analysis is simple-minded, frankly.”

I
think the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, that military action, was a
resounding success,” Bolton told Carlson. The chaos that followed
in Iraq, he said, was caused by a poorly executed occupation that
ended too soon. On the bright side, Bolton said, the mistakes the
U.S. made in Iraq offered “lessons about what to do after a regime
is overthrown” in the future.

John Bolton, nationaal veiligheidsadviseur, alsof de duivel zelf is benoemd……..

Mensen
ik had het bericht, waarin wordt ‘gesproken’ over de vervanging van figuren rond het beest
Trump, ‘nog niet gepubliceerd’
* of men maakte bekend dat
McMaster, zelf al een enorme ploert van formaat, werd  afgezet door
het beest, om plaats te maken voor John Bolton, ofwel de duivel
zelf….. (zo niet dan toch één van diens trouwste medewerkers…)

Bolton
schreef onlangs ‘geheel toevallig een’ opiniestuk’ in de Wall Street Journal
dat de VS Noord-Korea moet aanvallen…. uit zelfbehoud!!! ha! ha!
ha! ha! ha! Alsof Noord-Korea ooit ook maar een miljoenste van een
seconde een gevaar is geweest voor de VS……. Ja ik lach wel, maar
deze opperploert is werkelijk een gevaar voor de hele wereld…….

Alsof
je een oorlogsmisdadiger, die je minstens als terrorist moet zien,
minister van defensie maakt…. Oh ja, deze benoeming is in feite nog erger…!!

Bolton
is één van de hoofdverantwoordelijken voor de illegale oorlog tegen
Irak, waar hij de massavernietigingsfabel bleef herhalen als
ambassadeur bij de VN……… Al moest je ofwel een topidioot zijn
om dit te geloven, dan wel een kwaadaardige collaborateur van de VS, of lobbyist van andere westerse regeringen zijn die achter deze illegale oorlog stonden (zoals de reguliere westerse media….)…. Hoewel een lobbyist van het militair-industrieel complex, of een combi van het e.e.a. heel goed mogelijk is………

Met
Pompeo, een andere opperschoft op Buitenlandse Zaken, een groot
voorstander van oorlog tegen Iran en Noord-Korea, laat zich raden wat
er op het ‘menu staat…..’ (één of het liefst twee illegale oorlogen,
misschien zelfs met het gebruik van ‘tactische’ kernwapens, zodat deze getest kunnen worden in de praktijk…….)

Ik
hoef je niet te vertellen wat hiervan het gevolg zal zijn….. Och,
waarom ook niet: Rusland zal dit zeker niet pikken en waarschijnlijk
zal China al evenmin op de handen blijven zitten, ofwel
WOIII zal dan een voldongen feit zijn………

Hoe
is het mogelijk dat de westerse media zo relatief gelaten reageren op
deze laatste benoemingen…..??? Ach ja, die zien niet eens de
grootschalige terreur die de VS uitoefent op een explosief deel van
de wereld….. Sterker: nog steeds durft men daar niet te stellen
dat de VS meehelpt aan een genocide op de sjiitische bevolking van
Jemen……

Worst Nightmare

(ANTIMEDIA Op-ed) — John
Bolton’s inclusion in the Trump administration as Donald Trump’s
new national security advisor is nothing short of a nightmare.

Bolton,
a former U.N. ambassador under George W. Bush, will be replacing
General H.R. McMaster as Trump’s national security advisor, who
replaced former “disgraced” national security advisor Michael
Flynn. When the president struck a Syrian airbase in April 2017, it
was McMaster who drew up and briefed Trump on the
 strike
proposals
,
one of which was
 reportedly
very extensive
.

McMaster
was also
 reportedly one
of the main backers of a secret plan to give North Korea’s Kim
Jong-un a “bloody nose strike,” a limited strike to dismantle its
nuclear ambitions without risking an all-out war.

However,
despite this, it appears McMaster wasn’t hawkish enough for Donald
Trump’s needs. While McMaster
 publicly
berates Iran
 and
North Korea on a regular basis, he persistently warned against
Trump’s plan to completely derail the Joint Comprehensive Plan of
Action (JCPOA) formed with Iran in 2015. He also later
 denied the
claims that the Trump administration was looking to deliver the
“bloody nose strike” on North Korea, perhaps indicating he was
not completely on board with the idea after all (or had decided
otherwise at that particular juncture in history).

Enter
John Bolton. Less than month ago, he wrote an op-ed article published
by the 
Wall
Street Journal 
(WSJ) entitled “The
Legal Case for Striking North Korea First” — an idea so bad, it
seems, that about a week later, the 
WSJ published
a counter viewpoint simply entitled “Striking North Korea First Is
a Bad Proposal.”

In
Bolton’s short-sighted op-ed — aside from the fact that he offers
no real legal analysis at all (those who do consider it a legal
analysis must explain why the argument of preemptive self-defense
applies to the U.S. but not to North Korea, which faces American
aggression near
its borders on a routine basis) — it’s also quite telling that he
relies on the evidence of CIA Director Mike Pompeo, who 
alleged in
January that Pyongyang was only “a handful of months” away from
being able to strike the American mainland with nukes.

It
is no coincidence that next in line for Donald Trump’s secretary of
state position is Pompeo himself.

Together,
Bolton and Pompeo will be able to advise Trump on anti-North Korean
and anti-Iranian platforms so hawkish there is no telling what’s to
come (though we have a fairly decent idea).

As
some of you may know, John Bolton’s hawkishness has already led to
some of the most despicable 
foreign
policy agendas
 of
our generation.

We
are confident that Saddam Hussein has hidden weapons of mass
destruction and production facilities in Iraq,”
 Bolton
famously
 said in
2002 while serving as President George W. Bush’s undersecretary of
state for Arms Control and International Security. He also called
Hussein a “threat to the region” and claimed he needed to be
“disarmed.”

But
the end of the story is clear here. And if Saddam Hussein does not
co-operate we have made it clear this is the last chance for him…I
think the Iraqi people would be unique in history if they didn’t
welcome the overthrow of this dictatorial regime,”
 he
added.

Even
when this rationale for invading Iraq and destabilizing an entire
region turned out to be one of the worst editions of “fake news”
ever to sting the planet, in 2015 – some 12 years later – Bolton
still 
claimed the
Iraq War was worth it and said that, conversely, the worst decision
involving Iraq was the “
2011
decision to withdraw U.S. and coalition forces.

In 2016, he then
 changed
his mind
 to
say that the only mistake of the Iraq War was that the U.S. did not
get rid of Saddam Hussein sooner.

If
John Bolton leads the cheers to invade Iran or North Korea, who will
hold him accountable?

Apparently
having learned no lessons at all from the criminal invasion of Iraq,
Bolton also wrote a 
New
York Times
 op-ed entitled
“To Stop Iran’s Bomb, Bomb Iran” in 2015. He made it quite
clear that “only military action” could accomplish what was
required to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. In Bolton’s
eyes, the JCPOA doesn’t cut it.

He
also openly
 called
for the assassination
 of
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, only to later condemn
the
 Obama
administration
 for
doing just that (an invasion is bad if a Democrat does it, and 
vice
versa, of course
,
depending on who you are running against).

John
Bolton is also a
 strong
anti-Russian
,
drone-warfare
 supporting imperialist
who once also appeared to call
 for
the invasion of Cuba
.

He
is now going to be advising Donald Trump, a seventy-one-year-old
 mass
murdering
 narcissist
 with
an attention span of
 two
to four minutes
,
on matters of national security.

Trumps vrede met Rusland weer van de kaart met aanstelling McMaster?

Donald ‘het beest’ Trump liet tijdens de verkiezingen weten, dat hij de relaties met Rusland wilde verbeteren en ook na zijn verkiezing noemde hij dit nog een paar keer. Intussen blijkt dat Trump zich heeft neergelegd bij de bestaande status quo: de Koude Oorlog 2.0.

Met het aanstellen van generaal McMaster* als nationale veiligheidsadviseur, heeft Trump bevestigd, dat hij zich heeft gevoegd bij de anti-Russische oorlogshitserij in het Pentagon en bij de geheime diensten, zoals de CIA en de NSA……….

McMaster is een oorlogshitser van de eerste orde en liegt dat het gedrukt staat, o.a. over Georgië, De Krim en Oekraïne (zoals u in het artikel hieronder kan lezen).

Hopes of Peace with Russia Could Be Crushed by Trump’s New National Security Advisor

February 22, 2017 at 10:44 am

Written by Anti-Media News Desk

(RPI)** President Trump has selected Gen. H.R. McMaster to be his National Security Advisor, replacing the short-lived Gen. Michael Flynn. Those breathing a sigh of relief that the rumored favorite John Bolton didn’t get the nod may want to hold that thought — and their breath. McMaster is not the man to guide President Trump toward better relations with Russia and less US interference in the internal affairs of others.

In fact, he believes the opposite.

In a speech*** delivered at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) just last May, Gen. McMaster blamed the lack of sufficient US military presence overseas for what he calls a more aggressive Russian geostrategic posturing.

Said the General:

“Even though it may have been apparent, at least since 2008, that Russia was changing its geostrategic behavior and engaging in…probing, probing at the far reaches of American power, our strategic response was to accelerate our withdrawal of…army forces from Europe. And what we’re seeing now is we’ve awakened to obviously this threat from Russia who is waging limited war for limited objectives. Annexing Crimea. Invading Ukraine. At zero cost. And consolidating gains over that territory, and portraying the reaction by us and partners as escalatory. … What is required is forward deterrence. To be able to ratchet up the cost at the frontier.”

The General also made the completely fallacious assertion that Russia invaded Georgia in 2008. Even the highly critical if not overtly anti-Russia European Union concluded that Georgia was to blame for launching an ill-advised attack on Russian peacekeeping forces that were part of an international mission in South Ossetia.

Does this sound like someone who is going to work to help President Trump improve relations with Russia?

No wonder neocons Max Boot and Sen. John McCain are absolutely thrilled with Trump’s choice of McMaster to be National Security Advisor.

Sen. McCain, who just returned from attacking President Trump at the Munich Security Conference for not being harder on Russia, said today that McMaster:

“…knows how to succeed. I give President Trump great credit for this decision, as well as his national security cabinet choices. I could not imagine a better, more capable national security team than the one we have right now.”

Max Boot had a similar reaction:

“H.R. McMaster is one of the most impressive army officers of his generation—a rare combination of soldier and scholar.”

McMaster’s claim to fame was the 1997 Dereliction of Duty, which is billed as a brave attack on the mistake of the Vietnam war, but was in fact largely focused on the failure to devote enough resources to actually winning the war — a typical neocon critique of failed military interventions.

Is McMaster a worse choice than John Bolton? Perhaps. Whereas Bolton would have been under the microscope, McMaster may just be able, due to his military history, be able to avoid close scrutiny.

Whatever the case, McMaster is all about conflict with Russia. Will his boss keep him in check?
