Trump Is Being Moved Aside So That Conflict with
Russia Can Proceed
Trump Is
Being Moved Aside So That Conflict with Russia Can Proceed
Paul Craig Roberts
What is the Congress up
to with their stupid bill that imposes more sanctions and removes the power of
President Trump to rescind the sanctions that President Obama imposed?
Congress is doing two
things. One is that Congress is serving their campaign contributors in the
military/security complex by being tougher with Russia, thus keeping the
orchestrated threat alive so that Americans denied health care don’t start
looking at the massive military/security budget as a place to find money for
health care.
The other is to put
President Trump in a box. If Trump vetos this encroachment on presidential
power, Congress and the presstitute media will present the veto as absolute
proof that Trump is a Russian agent and is protecting Russia with his veto. If
Trump does not veto the bill, Trump will have thrown in his hand and accepted
that he cannot reduce the dangerous tensions with Russia.
In other words, the bill
is a lose-lose for Trump. Yet Republicans are supporting the bill, thus
undermining their president.
Yesterday I heard an
orchestrated, staged “interview” between two women on NPR’s “All Things
Considered” (on NPR all things are never considered). It was a propaganda show
focused on Trump’s expression of disappointment in Jeff Sessions, whom Trump
mistakenly appointed Attorney General.
When Trump nominated
Sessions, the Democrats and the presstitutes went berserk. Sessions was
“unqualified,” a “racist,” blah-blah. But now Sessions is the hero of the
presstitutes and Democrats. They love him, because he has sold out Trump on the
question of the justification for an investigation of Trump as a suspect
“Russian agent” by an independent prosecutor who happens to be a member of the
anti-Trump ruling establishment.
In other words, Sessions,
who has been beat up previously by the establishment, is too afraid to do his
job.
In other words, Trump
had, as I predicted, no idea what he was doing when he chose his government.
So now he suffers for his
ignorance.
What was the point of the
staged NPR interview between the two women? The point was that Sessions, unlike
Trump, respects the rule of law whereas Trump wants to bend the law in order to
cover up for himself. The interview was staged so that without the two women
having to say it, Trump’s anger at Session was proof that Trump was guillty of
some illigitimate “Russian connection.”
In other words, it was
carefully constructed innuendo. Who constructed the innuendo? NPR’s women were
just reading from a script.
As far as I can tell,
there is no one in Trump’s government who is loyal to Trump or who is willing
to back Trump’s effort to stop provoking the Russians and to cease serving as
Israel’s military force in the Middle East. As far as I can tell not only the
Democratic Party but also the Republican Party supports the left-wing’s view
that Trump’s election was illegitimate, because he was elected by the votes of
illegitimate people—“the deplorables” to use Hillary’s term.
Who are “the
deplorables?” They are the remnants of the American working class. They are the
people whose jobs were sent overseas to Asia by the global US corporations in
order to enrich their shareholders and executives via higher profits from lower
labor costs. They are the people who in order to stay afloat had to rely on
debt in place of the missing income and whose debt is now so high that they
have no disposable income. A huge proportion of the American population is
incapable of raising a measly $400 without having to sell personal possessions.
In other words, they are
refugees from a destroyed American middle class.
Trump stood up for them
against the rich who ruined them, and now the rich are going to ruin Trump.
It will teach a lesson.
Henceforth in the United States no one will dare to stick up for the American
people. America is not for Americans any more than the world is for the peoples
of the world. America and the world are for the One Percent. No one else.
Russia, China, and Iran are in the way, and, thus, they are on Washington’s hit
list.
It is heartbreaking to
watch the Russians continue to believe, lesson after lesson to the contrary,
that they can reach a deal with Washington. This unrealistic hope will destroy
Russia. The Russian government will continue to grasp at straws and be put off
guard.
It is utterly amazing
that the Russian government can believe after its extensive history of being
left hanging in the wind by its agreements with Washington that any agreement
with Washington is worth anything.
Perhaps Russia is aware
of the evil that they face in Washington. Perhaps the Russian emphasis on
diplomacy is just a way of gaining time to get prepared for the war that
Washington intends to bring to them.
There is little doubt
that the great and wonderful beacon of light that is Democracy in Washington,
also known as the government of the “exceptional” people and the
“indispensable” country, is lost in hubris and arrogance and will destroy life
on earth.
