A Nation At War

The “Peace President” prefers creating lots of enemies

We are nine months into the Donald Trump presidency and the road ahead seems pretty clear. There is an unsustainable one trillion dollar Pentagon budget supporting a newly renamed Department of War and Washington is engaged in conflicts that could escalate in Europe, Asia, South America and Africa. If it were possible to stage a bellicose incident near or in Antarctica that would also no doubt become a target, just as the Arctic region is currently playing into fantasies involving Greenland and Canada. Trump has even stopped talking to friendly neighbor Canada about trade relations over an ad that he did not like and no doubt will be discussing invasion soon. And let’s not forget the conflict here at home where Trump is citing the Insurrection Act regularly, signaling his intention to expand the already existing use of the military to carry out law enforcement functions in America’s states and cities, something that is of questionable legality under the Posse Comitatus Act.

The supreme irony is that all of the conflicts have been unnecessary, involving as they do countries and entire geographic regions that in no way threaten either the United States or what were once referred to as its vital interests except insofar as those interests have been grossly and one might suggest criminally misrepresented. That is what we are witnessing right now as what appears to be fishermen are being murdered by US forces positioned in the international waters of the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. In the latest incident involving sinking a Colombian vessel and killing two crewmen in the Pacific, Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro denounced the crime and was in turn called a “thug” by Trump, who once again has demonstrated his skill at diplomacy. Trump has also warned that the war on “narco-terrorists” might well shift from the sea to “on land” in the countries being targeted, meaning that they will be invaded with the intention of regime change.

Russia, which is now on-again to being regarded as an opponent, is having its energy companies sanctioned, yet again, even though it has respectable and clearly defined national security interests that Trump has failed to comprehend. And there are also reports possibly linked to Trump’s ongoing feud with the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on Wednesday, when he blasted the paper for a “FAKE NEWS” report that the Trump Administration had lifted “a key restriction” on Ukraine, allowing it to use long-range Tomahawk missiles against Russia. WSJ reported the green light from Trump would empower Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is of course Jewish and is also strongly supported by Israel to such an extent that Zelensky has said “that when the Ukraine War is over, Ukraine will be a “big Israel.” The new missiles provided by Washington, if the repot is accurate, will be used to “step up attacks on targets inside Russia” and put added pressure on Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to agree to the ceasefire demanded by the White House. The missiles were reportedly given to Ukraine by its “Western allies.” As the US would have to play a part in targeting and launching the missiles, the move would bring the US directly into the war.

Iran, meanwhile, has never threatened the US and currently Venezuela and Colombia are not enemies except in the demented minds of Mr Trump and his cabinet. The US has no authority to “obliterate” the Palestinians in Gaza as Trump has recently threatened if Hamas does not comply with his orders, a threat that is particularly loathsome as it is being suggested as a “gift” to the most evil country in the world, Israel. During a visit to Israel on Tuesday, Vice President JD Vance repeated the warning that Hamas would be “obliterated” if it did not cooperate with the ceasefire — taking off from a similar threat from Trump, who earlier also promised “fast, furious and brutal force.”

Instead, the wars that are being ginned-up reflect the desire of America’s supreme leader to appear to be a tough guy who claims that the United States by right ought to dominate the world, all in spite of his own personal history as a draft dodger when it was his turn to fight for his country in an admittedly bad cause during the Vietnam War. Apparently shaking one’s tiny fist in the air while grimacing threateningly and punishing critics using the power and resources of the federal government is now regarded by some as what the American public expects in a president. At least that is the way that Donald Trump and his cast of clowns see it since they seem to be completely lacking any sense of the dignity expected of the American presidency. Oh, and along the way, the fawning claque is required to regularly heap praise on the Sovereign Leader, who now self-proclaims as arguably the third greatest president this country has ever had after Washington and Lincoln, by telling him what a genius and great man he is.

Those of us who are skeptical of the outpouring of homage to the Great Chief see a man who cannot even articulate a sentence properly. And in staff meetings in the White House he often cannot remember the name of whoever is sitting or standing next to him, but no matter, when you are set on destroying entire countries the details don’t really matter. As Trump is in reality a totally owned and operated subsidiary of the Jewish State Israel and his Jewish billionaire donors, which amount to the same thing, the rat line from Tel Aviv/Jerusalem, which also increasingly owns the US media, will cover up the inconsistencies. It will also deep-six the stories that would diminish the grandeur of the Trump White House, complete with the under- construction status of a magnificent ball room that will accommodate up to 1,000 worshippers. Too bad about the destruction of the White House East Wing, which will also be offset by the proposed “Trump-ful” memorial arch just down the Potomac from the Trump Center for the Performing Arts. There is also a bill in Congress to fund adding the sculpture of Trump’s magnificent head and stern visage to the Mount Rushmore Memorial in South Dakota, alongside George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.

Trump’s total engagement with Israel and his complete subjugation at the hands of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he describes as a great war hero, just like himself, means that there is little that comes out of the White House that does not obtain the seal of approval from Tel Aviv. There are certainly bizarre anecdotes that one might share nearly every time Trump opens his mouth, but the tales of government by idiots are sometimes difficult to comprehend due to their sheer inanity. If there remains some hope that the United States is somehow a sinking ship that might some day right itself, it is perhaps best just to assume that the real criminal behavior comes out of Israel, like the fraudulent “Trump Peace Plan” for Gaza currently being floated to serve the Israeli interest in creating a Palestine free of Palestinians. Trump’s two top negotiators, real estate tycoons Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner, pretend to be impartial but they are both ardent Zionists who have declared that there has been no genocide going on in Gaza, a judgment which ninety per cent of the world would disagree with. The two would, not coincidentally perhaps, be likely to earn billions from the reconstruction of Gaza and turning it into the Trump Riviera resort. No Palestinians allowed, of course and the latest word coming from the “Peace Planners” is that Gaza reconstruction will only take place in the part of the Strip occupied by the Israeli Army.

But one of my favorite tales relates to the Nobel Peace Prize, which is a curious tale that involves both Donald Trump and Israel. The surprise winner of the prize Maria Machado, is an opponent of the current government headed by Nicolas Maduro, whom the US (and Trump personally) has opposed since a failed coup in May 2020, which Washington’s Drug Enforcement Administration may have organized and supported. As a consequence of the pressure from Washington, Maduro has broken off diplomatic relations with the US. He also is an outspoken critic of Israel’s behavior in Gaza. Machado has discerned an opportunity to obtain substantial foreign support, so she has praised Trump and has called on both the United States and Israel to intervene in her country and overthrow the government, replacing it, presumably, with her. So is the impending war with Venezuela, which will presumably kill lots of people, in some way linked to Trump and Israel? You betcha!

Even better than Machado is the recent Trumpean nonsense regarding Argentina which will cost tons of US taxpayer money and which actually has American ranchers crying out about how their livelihoods are being ruined. How the Israel control mechanism works is well exemplified by Trump’s interaction with Argentine President Javier Milei. Milei has expressed his deep admiration for Trump and for the state of Israel, which is a prerequisite for robbing the American taxpayer, a sleight of hand that Israel and its Tribe are particularly good at. Best of all, the wholesale theft is carried out under the protective aegis of the Congressional Antisemitism Awareness Act, which declares that criticism of Israel is motivated by “antisemitism” and therefore a “hate crime.”

Milei has been in the news lately because Trump has given him a $20 billion “swap line” bailout as a loan with Argentina’s central bank, where the US Treasury will exchange dollars for pesos to support the peso and the country’s credit market. Trump has also called for the importation of 80,000 tons of cheap Argentine beef to bring down prices in the US, a move objected to by American farmers who are reported to be struggling due to the bad economy and soaring prices.

Milei comes from an Italian family and was raised Roman Catholic, but he has nurtured a relationship with the large Argentine Jewish community and also with the state of Israel, which he has officially visited, praying at the Wailing Wall and moving his embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. He has also met with Benjamin Netanyahu and has reportedly stated his desire to convert to Judaism, but by one account he deferred that possibility when he was elected to the presidency due to the need to be engaged in office on the Jewish sabbath, on which no work could be performed. Nevertheless, his relationship with Jews and Israel is regarded as extremely strong and he boasts that his country is Israel’s best friend in Latin America. It is a position that is somewhat unusual for Latin America and something that Donald Trump, who may himself have converted to Judaism and has a daughter who has done so, greatly respects. So Milei gets the cash from the United States!

It is interesting to note how nearly every time one looks at an aspect of US foreign policy, to include Donald Trump’s penchant to resort to threats of violence which periodically turn into wars, the state of Israel comes up. Polls indicate that the American public is becoming increasingly aware of Israeli dominance of the White House whether it is inhabited by a Joe Biden or a Donald Trump. It is past time for a thorough cleaning at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue beyond the building of a new gilded ballroom to restore the People’s House to the People and to throw the Zionist Israel-First crooks out never to return. Let us hope that the revolution to restore the Constitution and Bill of Rights and to end both the wars and the Israel connection comes soon before it is too late!
