Trump Fires John Bolton After “Disagreeing Strongly With His Suggestions”

Via ZeroHedge

While there was some feverish speculation as to what an impromptu presser at 1:30pm with US Secretary of State Pompeo, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin and National Security Adviser Bolton would deliver, that was quickly swept aside moments later when Trump unexpectedly announced that he had fired Bolton as National Security Advisor, tweeting that he informed John Bolton “last night that his services are no longer needed at the White House” after “disagreeing strongly with many of his suggestions.

According to sources, while Trump had been growing displeased with Bolton’s belligerent recommendations, the tipping point happened when Bolton expressed his displeasure with Trump’s impromptu invitation of the Taliban to Camp David, a peace overture which as we reported over the weekend, collapsed in the last moment.

As with every Trump personnel decision, this one too appears not to have gone off without a hitch, and moments after Trump’s tweet, Bolton tweeted that “I offered to resign last night and President Trump said, “Let’s talk about it tomorrow.””

It was unclear if they “talked about it”, but Trump’s verdict was clear: you’re fired.

Whatever the reason for Bolton’s departure, this means one less warmongering neocon is left in the DC swamp, and is a prudent and long overdue move by Trump, one which even Trump’s liberals enemies will have no choice but to applaud.

While we await more details on this strike by Trump against the military-industrial complex-enabling Deep State, here is a fitting closer from Curt Mills via the American Conservative:

Ending America’s longest war would be a welcome rebuttal to Democrats who will, day in and day out, charge that Trump is a fraud. But to do so, he will likely need a national security advisor more in sync with the vision. Among them: Tucker Carlson favorite Douglas Macgregor, Stephen Biegun, the runner-up previously, or the hawkish, but relatively pragmatic retired General Jack Keane.

Bolton seems to be following the well-worn trajectory of dumped Trump deputies. Jeff Sessions, a proto-Trump and the first senator to endorse the mogul, became attorney general and ideological incubator of the new Right’s agenda only to become persona non grata in the administration. The formal execution came later. Bannon followed a less dramatic, but no less explosive ebb and flow. James Mattis walked on water until he didn’t.

And Bolton appeared the leading light of a neoconservative revival, of sorts, until he didn’t.

And while the overall market yawned at the news, oil quickly dropped as the odds of an Iran war tumbled now that the most aggressive neocon is out.

So has Trump finally learned not to surround himself with belligerent war advocates? The answer will be disclosed when Trump reveals who Bolton’s replacement as National Security Advisor will be.

Hi, GCP..

I left a clip for you to check out on another thread yesterday of day before. It was pretty interesting, did yolu get a chance to see it.

I listened to the audio bar you dropped on ‘authority’ thread…..sound like a guy would be good visiting with while a bobber was floatin in a pond…..

I just read this a bit earlier, haven’t viewed any of the videos or hit any of the other articles embedded, but the writer takes Heb. 8:10, Matt. 5:17 and Romans 3:31 as the biblical references to accountability to the rule of law…

Is the gap between his understanding of ‘the law’ any closer to your way of seeing than it is to mine? Because it’s no where near to mine…….’the law of sin and death’

I’m not sure I did see it ordo… though I always try to watch what you post.

“Accountability to the law.” Mixing Hebrews, Matthew and Romans is a recipe for disaster, whomever did it.

What is the purpose of the law? To convict men of their inherent sin nature. It’s perfect and therefore cannot be kept by imperfect beings. Only Christ (God in flesh) could.

Romans 3:19-20 KJB… “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Galatians 2:16 KJB… “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.”

The law is established (Rom 3:21) in me when I realize my own sin nature and thus my need of and faith in a Savior.

So Machiavellian….somebody on here a while back (I think Mark) made mention of two ‘groups’ fighting for the control, ‘white hats and black hats’. Maybe so, but they are fighting over the top seat in world affairs. Will it be the demonrat alliance with that old Red Dragon from China…..or the republicrats and the and the Plumed Serpent of America ?

ordo ab chao,

I was talking about what we are seeing is just different Crime Families, Mafias, Dictators, and interconnected Secret Societies/Banksters fighting for control of the NWO, Mary, Flea, Bl, Plato and many, many others (long list) were saying more or less the same thing.

I think the alliances behind the scenes are constantly shifting with all of them shaking hands with knives in their other hand behind their backs.

There was an excellent TruNews video last December saying the same thing after the Poppy Bush funeral, and that little Georgie W had asked for a truce with Trump (they had met alone in DC just before shipping Poppy to a dark corner of hell) and that was what the envelope drama was all about, and that big time ‘Bushie Barr’ was given AG to broker the peace between Trump (aligned with the Zionists) and the Bushes. That was a Bush demand to stop coming after Trump (and his family) through their extensive influence. Georgie wanted out and promised to stop feeding Big Mike breath mints.

Right after is when Mueller wound down his BS. But there is no truce with the Clinton Crime Family or the Commie ideologue Crime Family populated by the Obama’s, and their ilk. Different messages supposedly in different envelops.

I’m moving closer and closer to the Brandon Smith Camp as he has been relentless articulating a big picture with more and more puzzle pieces fitting together.

I would love to see gritty/witty T4C and others be vindicated, would love to be wrong…but like you I read the Book and continue my wide and deep Joseph 7 years of plenty prep…daily.

Hi, Mark….

Yes…..the power deal between the Bushes…..my bad.

It all seems to change, the political intrigue, the story line of the soap…

What my point is has to do more with the unseen that are deceiving the nations of the world. Who will sit at the top of the pyramid with god? But I hold a strong belief in multitudes of beings in another realm…..I’ve said it many times.

From that standpoint, whether the deceiver enters Jerusalem thru the kings of the east, or thru the ‘Zionist/Christians’ or the west…….I believe he’s coming.

Yea buddy, who knows what is really going on behind the intrigue, infighting, betrayals, murders, bribes, etc., with the various Crime Families, Mafias, Dictators, and interconnected Secret Societies/Banksters fighting for control of the NWO.

We (Bible prophecy readers) will know who the prophesized anti-christ is once the peace deal with Israel starts the clock ticking on the Tribulation and ‘the Little Horn’ emerges. That won’t be hard to figure out. It’s what happens leading up to that point that will flip the world on its head, and I believe the flipping is coming in the 2020’s.

Isn’t it fascinating that in 1972, the ‘Club of Rome’ movers and slithers proposed a plan to divide the whole world into 10 Regions, and then the UN has the world divided into 10 geographical regions with Agenda 21/30, while Bible prophecy from thousands of years ago states there will be 10 Kings during the Tribulation?

What a co-winki dink…

Remember H.R. 608 “Stop Arming Terrorists Act” back in 2017? Dead on arrival!

No way she will be appointed unless it is a way to, yet again, dupe Trump’s base into believing in that last glimmer of Hope that he isn’t part of the Deep State and the necessary candidate to further the Globalist Luciferian agenda to hasten the destruction of the U.S. Dollar and isolate the U.S. from the other Big player nations of the world, most notably China, Russia and much of the Eurozone.

The propaganda and delusions abound! Losing the reserve currency status alone will massively lower the standard of living here. Couple that with the “sanctions” imposed on Russia, North Korea (with its trillions in untapped rare earth minerals) and China is a form of AUSTERITY and a means to insulate the majority of the world from the blowback that will inevitably occur adter the RESET button is pressed and the shit hits the fan (civil unrest) in America! Talk about a Zombie Apocalypse Purge style event!

GOD, I hope so! What a transparent war lover, Bolton was…any damn war! It’s always those who won’t have to face the bullets and bombs who advocate for war. I’m too old to be part of a war now, but I’ve seen enough (retired military) that I don’t advocate for drum-beating for war without one hell of a good reason for it.
