The Neocons and the “deep state” have neutered the Trump Presidency, it’s over folks!  


The Saker

Less than a month ago I warned that a ‘color revolution ‘ was taking place in
the USA.  My first element of proof was the so-called “investigation” which the
CIA, FBI, NSA and others were conducting against President Trump’s candidate to
become National Security Advisor, General Flynn.  Tonight, the plot to get rid
of Flynn has finally succeeded and General Flynn had to offer his resignation. 
Trump accepted it.
Now let’s immediately get one thing out of the way: Flynn was hardly a saint or
a perfect wise man who would single handedly saved the world.  That he was not. 
However, what Flynn was is the cornerstone of Trump’s national security policy. 
For one thing, Flynn dared the unthinkable: he dared to declare that the bloated
US intelligence community had to be reformed.  Flynn also tried to subordinate
the CIA and the Joint Chiefs to the President via the National Security Council.
 Put differently, Flynn tried to wrestle the ultimate power and authority from
the CIA and the Pentagon and subordinate them back to the White House.  Flynn
also wanted to work with Russia. Not because he was a Russia lover, the notion
of a Director of the DIA as a Putin-fan is ridiculous, but Flynn was rational,
he understood that Russia was no threat to the USA or to Europe and that Russia
had the West had common interests.  That is another absolutely unforgivable
crimethink in Washington DC.
The Neocon run ‘deep state’ has now forced Flynn to resign under the idiotic
pretext that he had a telephone conversation, on an open, insecure and clearly
monitored, line with the Russian ambassador.
And Trump accepted this resignation.
Ever since Trump made it to the White House, he has taken blow after blow from
the Neocon-run Ziomedia, from Congress, from all the Hollywood
doubleplusgoodthinking “stars” and even from European politicians.  And Trump
took each blow without ever fighting back.  Nowhere was his famous “you are
fired!” to be seen.  But I still had hope.  I wanted to hope.  I felt that it
was my duty to hope.
But now Trump has betrayed us all.
Remember how Obama showed his true face when he hypocritically denounced his
friend and pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.?  Today, Trump has shown us his true
face.  Instead of refusing Flynn’s resignation and instead of firing those who
dared cook up these ridiculous accusations against Flynn, Trump accepted the
resignation.  This is not only an act of abject cowardice, it is also an
amazingly stupid and self-defeating betrayal because now Trump will be alone,
completely alone, facing the likes of Mattis and Pence – hard Cold Warrior
types, ideological to the core, folks who want war and simply don’t care about
reality.
Again, Flynn was not my hero.  But he was, by all accounts, Trump’s hero.  And
Trump betrayed him.
The consequences of this will be immense.  For one thing, Trump is now clearly
broken. It took the ‘deep state’ only weeks to castrate Trump and to make him
bow to the powers that be.  Those who would have stood behind Trump will now
feel that he will not stand behind them and they will all move back away from
him.  The Neocons will feel elated by the elimination of their worst enemy and
emboldened by this victory they will push on, doubling-down over and over and
over again.
It’s over, folks, the deep state has won.
From now on, Trump will become the proverbial shabbos-goy, the errand boy of the
Israel lobby.  Hassan Nasrallah was right when he called him ‘an idiot‘.
The Chinese and Iranian will openly laugh.  The Russians won’t – they will be
polite, they will smile, and try to see if some common sense policies can still
be salvaged from this disaster.  Some might. But any dream of a partnership
between Russia and the United States has died tonight.
The EU leaders will, of course, celebrate.  Trump was nowhere the scary bogeyman
they feared.  Turns out that he is a doormat – very good for the EU.
Where does all this leave us – the millions of anonymous ‘deplorables’ who try
as best we can to resist imperialism, war, violence and injustice?
I think that we were right in our hopes because that is all we had – hopes.  No
expectations, just hopes.  But now we objectively have very little reasons left
to hope.  For one thing, the Washington ‘swamp’ will not be drained.  If
anything, the swamp has triumphed.  We can only find some degree of solace in
two undeniable facts:
  Hillary would have been far worse than any version of a Trump Presidency.
  In order to defeat Trump, the US deep state has had to terribly weaken the US
  and the AngloZionist Empire.  Just like Erdogan’ purges have left the Turkish
  military in shambles, the anti-Trump ‘color revolution’ has inflicted terrible
  damage on the reputation, authority and even credibility of the USA.
The first one is obvious.  So let me clarify the second one.  In their
hate-filled rage against Trump and the American people (aka “the basket of
deplorables”) the Neocons have had to show they true face.  By their rejection
of the outcome of the elections, by their riots, their demonization of Trump,
the Neocons have shown two crucial things: first, that the US democracy is a sad
joke and that they, the Neocons, are an occupation regime which rules against
the will of the American people.  In other words, just like Israel, the USA has
no legitimacy left.  And since, just like Israel, the USA are unable to frighten
their enemies, they are basically left with nothing, no legitimacy, no ability
to coerce.  So yes, the Neocons have won.  But their victory is removes the last
chance for the US to avoid a collapse.
Trump, for all his faults, did favor the US, as a country, over the global
Empire.  Trump was also acutely aware that ‘more of the same’ was not an option.
 He wanted policies commensurate with the actual capabilities of the USA.  With
Flynn gone and the Neocons back in full control – this is over.  Now we are
going to be right back to ideology over reality.
Trump probably could have made America, well, maybe not “great again”, but at
least stronger, a major world power which could negotiate and use its leverage
to get the best deal possible from the others.  That’s over now.  With Trump
broken, Russia and China will go right back to their pre-Trump stance: a firm
resistance backed by a willingness and capability to confront and defeat the USA
at any level.
I am quite sure that nobody today is celebrating in the Kremlin.  Putin, Lavrov
and the others surely understand exactly what happened.  It is as if Khodorkovsy
would have succeeded in breaking Putin in 2003.  In fact, I have to credit
Russian analysts who for several weeks already have been comparing Trump to
Yanukovich, who also was elected by a majority of the people and who failed to
show the resolve needed to stop the ‘color revolution’ started against him.  But
if Trump is the new Yanukovich, will the US become the next Ukraine?
Flynn was very much the cornerstone of the hoped-for Trump foreign policy. 
There was a real chance that he would reign in the huge, bloated and
all-powerful three letter agencies and that he would focus US power against the
real enemy of the West: the Wahabis.  With Flynn gone, this entire conceptual
edifice has now come down.  We are going to be left with the likes of Mattis and
his anti-Iranian statements.  Clowns who only impress other clowns.
Today Neocon victory is a huge event and it will probably be completely
misrepresented by the official media.  Ironically, Trump supporters will also
try minimize it all.  But the reality is that barring a most unlikely
last-minute miracle, it’s over for Trump and the hopes of millions of people in
the USA and the rest of the world who had hoped that the Neocons could be booted
out of power by means of a peaceful election.  That is clearly not going to
happen.
I see very dark clouds on the horizon.
