Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
The upcoming Trump/Putin summit is hampered by the crazed portrait of Russia painted by presstitutes. Jonathan Chait, Amy Knight, Max Bergmann, Yaroslav Trofimov, Roger Cohen, and the rest of the conscious or de facto CIA assets that comprise the Western presstitute media have turned Putin into a superhuman who controls election outcomes throughout the West, murders people without rhyme or reason, and has President Trump under his thumb doing Putin’s bidding. Who could imagine a more extreme conspiracy theory?
Jonathan Chait in New York magazine writes that “the dark crevices of the Russia scandal run deep,” so deep that “it would be dangerous not to consider the possibility that the summit is less a negotiation between two heads of state than a meeting between a Russian-intelligence asset and his handler.” http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/07/trump-putin-russia-collusion.html
So here is Chait, who brands truth-tellers “conspiracy theorists” coming up with the greatest conspiracy theory of our time that President Trump has been a Kremlim asset since 1987. Chait provides a ”crazy quilt of connections” to illustrate his absurd conspiracy theory that “it’s not necessary to believe that Putin always knew he might install Trump in the Oval Office to find the following situation highly plausible: Sometime in 2015, the Russian president recognized that he had, in one of his unknown number of intelligence files, an inroad into American presidential politics.”
Chait believes that Russia is also behind the UK’s exit from the European Union. “Driving Britain out of the European Union advanced the decades-long Russian goal of splitting Western nations apart, and Russia found willing allies on the British far right.”
Chait gets even more conspiratorial. He admits that Paul Manafort’s indictments for alleged white collar crimes are not related to Trump’s election, having occurred years previously in Ukraine. Nevertheless, Chait is certain that Manafort is shielding Trump even though according to Chait Manafort is facing many years in prison. Why would Manafort shield Trump? Chait’s answer:
“One way to make sense of his behavior is the possibility that Manafort is keeping his mouth shut because he’s afraid of being killed. That speculation might sound hyperbolic, but there is plenty of evidence to support it. In February, a video appeared on YouTube showing Manafort’s patron Deripaska on his yacht with a Belarusian escort named Anastasia Vashukevich.”
Chait’s article is long and heavily weighted with innuendo. Chait, or whoever wrote the article, possibly the person who wrote the Steele Dossier, collects every disparaging fact and fantasy about Trump and assembles them in a way to paint a portrait of a person who must also, without much doubt, be a Russian agent. If the public can be convinced of this, the military/security complex can assassinate Trump and blame Putin for getting rid of an asset who was exposed by the Russiagate investigation, no longer useful, and perhaps prepared to spill the beans.
Another conspiracy theorist, Amy Knight, writes that “The real question is where does the Russian criminal state end and the criminal underworld begin, and how do they work together in what amounts to a new murder incorporated?” https://www.thedailybeast.com/novichok-victim-dies-did-the-kremlin-really-lose-control-of-its-deadliest-poisons?ref=wrap
Yaroslav Trofimov tells us in the Wall Street Journal (July 7) that “Putin maps out his own empire” to replace the lost Soviet one.
In the Washington Post Max Bergmann tells us that Trump is going to sell out NATO in Helsinki. This line leads to the supposition that Putin is using Trump to unleash the Russian military on Europe. Many conspiracy theorists have come together on the view that first the Baltic States will be invaded and then Putin will move on to Germany and the rest of Europe. The New York Times’ Roger Cohen even pulls Marine Le Pen into the plot which widens to include ethnically cleansing the West of the refugees from Washington’s wars.
This is the level of absurdity that the American media delivers to the public’s understanding of foreign affairs.
Jews hate Russia. Once you understand that, most geopolitical machinations start to make sense.
Off topic but howz about some good news for a change?!
The POTUS has given a complete pardon to the Hammonds(remember them?),while they served bullshit prison time not in any way to do with “justice’,at least they are now free and pardoned!
Cody Wilson and his crew along with Defense Distributed won their case,remember Cody’s first 3D pistol the “Liberator” that the feds told him to pull off of net.I downloaded the plans that were mirrored world wide not because I had any intention of making it but just as a BFYTW moment as did millions of others(hell,am already on plenty of lists).I also contributed a small amount to Cody’s court costs,and…….,he won!
This is important not only on free speech but also on helping folks make their own stuff and thus helps keep the right to self defense in citizens hands.Cody’s company will have a huge web page with thier own plans for free along with folks who just want to drop off their own plans,open source gun smithing in a sense.
In big picture small victories,but,as we all know ,”The smalls add up!”
I am frequently amazed at how little people who come to TBP seem to remember about the articles that are published here. How can they not know that the Bolsheviks were jews. How can they not know that Israel is a communist country. How can they come to the conclusion that jews hate russia. For gods sake, jews created russia. Jews ran russia. Jews slaughtered millions of russians.
Thanks to Yo for a bit of a history lesson.
The Bolsheviks created the Soviet Union (the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics – the U.S.S.R.). Russia was only one of the “Republics” comprising the whole, albeit the major one. Today’s “Russian Federation” is more or less equivalent to the Russian “Republic” under the U.S.S.R. The creation of the Soviet Union was predicated on the need the Bolsheviks felt to control as much of the former Tsarist Empire as possible once it became clear to Lenin that Communist Revolutions were not going to spontaneously break out in the developed Western European nations that had just concluded the First world War. i.e., that he and his followers were going to have to “go it alone”, at least for a while.
