Let’s Give Trump Some Credit—On Labor Day He Threw Down the Gauntlet to the Corrupt Military Brass

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

Trump said that the Pentagon brass don’t love him, “because they want to do nothing but fight wars so that all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make eveything else stay happy.”

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by the military/security complex for making the same point (see, for example, JFK and the Unspeakable by James W. Douglass, Simon & Schuster, 2008).

The US military/security complex has had its crosshairs on Trump since his first presidential campaign when he said that he was going to normalize relations with Russia.  I don’t think Trump realized what a massive NO-NO this is.  Trump was telling the military-security complex that he was going to take away their concocted enemy that justifies the lucrative $1,000 billion annual budget paid by American taxpayers.

This enormous sum enriches a large number of companies along with the CIA’s power and budget. To tell a powerful institutionalized force that you are going to take away their justification for diverting increasingly scarce American resources into their bank accounts is to ask for assassination. President Trump is in the process of being assassinated, but it is not by bullets. Not even dumbshit Americans will believe another “lone assassin” story.  Trump is being assassinated with a coup—https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/09/08/democrats-have-planned-a-coup-if-trump-wins-reelection/ .

The military/security complex responded to Trump’s policy of normalizing relations with Russia with “Russiagate,” an orchestration initiated by CIA director John Brennan and FBI director Comey.  The CIA has had the media in its pocket since Operation Mockingbird dating back to 1950—https://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2016/10/14/how-the-cia-paid-and-threatened-journalists-to-do-its-work .

The CIA’s “Russiagate” attack on President Trump served the interests of Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party.  The corrupt Democrats quickly joined forces with the CIA and the CIA’s media whores.  The attack on Trump was underway and has not stopped since.

As I posted here—https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/09/08/democrats-have-planned-a-coup-if-trump-wins-reelection/ —the Democrats have worked out with the CIA and the presstitutes their coup plan if Trump is reelected, which he will be.  Most Americans, black, white, hispanic and Asian do not want rioting and looting as everyday experience, which is what we now know the Democrats will give us.

President Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, said today that Trump is “not going to let some lobbyists here in Washington DC – just because they want a new defense contract – suggest that soldiers need to stay abroad one minute longer than they should.”

Everytime Trump has tried to bring our soldiers home, he has been stymied by the military/security complex and the presstitute media. All sorts of phony reasons are concocted and put into the media about why withdrawal would be inimical to American interest.  Many American partiots fall for the concocted arguments and turn against Trump for “endangering America.”

Nothing better illustrates President Trump’s vulnerability than the fact that his own Defense Secretary has not rejected the unsupported anonymous allegation made by a Jew in the Atlantic that President Trump bad-mouthed American war dead and refused to visit a cemetery in France where many are buried.  Even President Trump’s enemy, John Bolton, has refuted the Jew’s allegation.  Bolton said on the record:

“I didn’t hear either of those comments or anything even resembling them,’ Bolton told Fox News. ‘I was there at the point in time that morning when it was decided that he would not go to Aisne-Marne cemetery … It was entirely a weather-related decision, and I thought the proper thing to do.

“I never heard he made that kind of comment about another country’s forces either, no.”

“Fox correspondent John Roberts, who conducted the Bolton interview, added that he has told him, ‘if [Donald Trump] had said he didn’t want to visit Aisne-Marne because the interred heroes were ‘losers’ and ‘suckers,’ he would have written an entire chapter about it in his book, The Room Where It Happened.”  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8709559/Trump-attacks-militarys-commanders-claiming-want-defense-contractors-happy.html

The Atlantic is part of the CIA’s media assets.  The story was handed to the Jewish editor, Jeffrey Goldberg, and the two-bit puppet performed for his master.  The two-bit puppet went on to say that he expects “more confirmation and new pieces of information” to come out in the coming days and weeks that will coroborate that Trump called US war dead “losers and suckers.”

In other words, Goldberg is acknowledging that he will continue to be a  military/security mouthpiece in driving Trump from office.  The purpose of the CIA story handed to Goldberg is to discredit Trump with his patriotic supporters, those who wave the flag, and especially the retired military.  The way the coming coup against Trump works is to turn his supporters against him so that he is isolated and can be ejected from office

Goldberg’s sources, he says, are anonymous. But they are not.  His “sources” are his military/security masters.  Goldberg knows who they are.  Remember, the entire four-year long attack on Trump has relied on anonymous sources.  With anonymous sources, you can make up anything. There is no one to confirm, deny, or to hold accountable.  It is fake news.

Not only are the CIA, Pentagon, and FBI united in the coup against Trump, but also it seems Trump’s Attorney General as well.  It has been months and Barr and Durham have not produced the indictments against the Obama regime personnel who committed felonies while orchestrating “Russiagate.”  The people who committed the felonies and the felonies that were committed are known and are part of the public record.  Yet no indictments. What we are witnessing here is that the Washington Establishment is Democrat and Republican and neither party will defend an elected President at the expense of the Establishment.

To conclude, blatant treason is in plain view.  Not even insouciant Americans can help but see it. Yet, there is not a word about it.  The coming coup seems to have a clear road for success. Something will remain here afterwards, but it will not be the United States of America.

God Bless PCR for calling out the true enemy by his name, “the jew”. Their numbers are Legion, just like the demons posessing the man that Jesus cast demons out of into a herd of pigs. May the same thing happen today!!!!

I must disagree about AG Barr. He is out doing media attacking the neocons and Deep Staters and their sycophants. His DOJ has arrested hundreds of Antifuques.
The Atlantic is owned by the widow of Steve Jobs who is a leftist crackpot with Billions. This Goldberg loser will produce whatever anti- Trump/Conservative/Christian/Bill of Rights garbage she wants which probably thrills the Deep Staters to no end.

What is the link to Trump and Christianity, conservatives and especially the Bill Of Rights? I seemed to have missed these ones? He hates the Bill Of Rights.

The uni-party (dems+repubs=bullshit) and the entrenched bureaucracy, plus the MSM has had it in for Trump since day 1.

Usually, a president shows signs of rapid aging while in office, but Trump seems to thrive in this type of environment, he is like a pit bull fighting against a pack of miniature poodles.

I’m looking forwards to the debates with Biden, it should be a real shit show.

My biggest concern in the debates is if it looks like he is piling on a poor old man with dementia. He has a tendency to overdo it when he has someone down and the last thing he needs is for Creepy Old Joe to get sympathy from the suburban soccer moms.
He needs to keep reminding them that it is Old Joe and the Ho who are pushing the violence that threatens the suburbs.

So PCR claims that Trump is a gentle dove now who seeks peace and not war?

1. Trump who has increased U.S. bombing in Afghanistan by 800 percent over his presidential predecessor, dropping more bombs on the nation in 2019 than in any year since the military began keeping those records in 2006.

2. “Some people don’t like to come home, some people like to continue to spend money,” said the man who vowed in late 2017 to “once and for all, stop the endless budget cuts to our military” and has bragged about increasing the military’s budget in every year of his presidency, a runaway spree. Now he’s coming for your social security to offset the difference.

3. There is no excuse for reasonable people to pretend Trump is fighting the good fight against U.S. imperialism or runaway military expansion. To pretend thus is to forget entirely about the years of accusations and political assassinations to goad Iran into an open conflict; the civil war in Yemen, in which tens of thousands of women and children.

4. Do enemies of the military-industrial complex secretly entice Middle Eastern allies to sign peace deals in exchange for a delivery of U.S.-built F-35 fighter jets? Trump does.

5. Trump loves space-age military technology so much that he forced the military to accept its first new branch since 1947, the Space Force, which is already shaping up to be a boon for thirsty defense contractors.

6. “Bring the troops home” ?? How many so far? Zero. They merely get relocated.

7. PCR claims that Trump is at war with Zio Jewish mobs. He emphasizes this so much that he uses the word ‘Jew’ 4 times in the article. “The Atlantic is part of the CIA’s media assets. The story was handed to the Jewish editor, Jeffrey Goldberg, and the two-bit puppet performed for his master.” Turns out instead of putting “America first”, Trump has put Israel/Saudi Arabia first. The Jews love Trump and Trump loves the Jews. Sorry PCR, you got that spun 180 degrees backwards.

8. Under the Trump regime, he has directed and presided over the stoking of tensions in the Indo-Pacific region, Iran, and Venezuela. He has refused to leave Iraq when unanimously voted to expel US troops. President Trump has repeatedly said he wants to “end the endless wars” and this week he is expected to announced plans to reduce troops in Iraq and Afghanistan ahead of the upcoming election (Say anything to get re-elected). But that hasn’t stopped the US from increasing its military presence in other areas. Mainly, the Indo-Pacific.

For PCR and other Trump cult members to blame this on some deep state actors like the MIC for which Trump as Commander In Chief has no control over is pure denial by a mob and political cult who have given themselves over to groupthink, collectivism and leader worship, whereas they toss their common sense to the wind and move in lockstep like a demon possessed cult. To consider Trump an enemy of the American militarism business, i.e. the military industrial complex means you have to have some kind of warped form of cognitive dissonance for which there is no cure. Trump is the MIC. Trump is a cult leader. Lay off the orange koolaid.

PCR is a naked shill of the Reagan-era hack job variety.

Trump committed Corona-hoax on the nation, not the Dems, so let that sink in.

Trump torched the economy and small time landlords who cannot evict freeloaders in 2020 will get destroyed and eaten up by Blackrock.

Cult.
“and this week he is expected to announce plans to reduce troops in Iraq and Afghanistan ahead of the upcoming election”

He needs them to protect the stolen (Openly admitted) oil fields in E. Syria that is sent to our owners in GefiltefishLand due south of Syria for resale.
PCR has taken the Mark. How else could he get away with Jew bashing like he has lately.
Trump is a crypto, so of course he makes Israel great again at our expense.

So Trump threw down the gauntlet to the Generals. He also reduced legal and illegal immigration by increasing it. He built the wall by not building it. He locked “Her” up by not locking her up. He served 42,000,000 sealed indictments by not serving them and now he wants you to vote for him twice in Nov. because he promised to increase the chocolate ration by decreasing it through inflation.
VOTE TRUMP. HE’S THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE THE REPUBLIC FOR THE FREAKS,PEDOS,BLACKS,BROWNS,COMMIES,QUEERS,DYKES,CHILD TRANNIES,AND HEBES. YEA TRUMP.

Glockster.
Is it true he hasn’t stopped any?
He has aided and abetted many unspoken color revolutions and regime changes. Regardless of what Statists on here say about socialist governments in other countries, why did he give the go ahead to remove the leaders of Bolivia, Brazil, Venezuela, Iran, N. Korea, Belarus, Numerous African nations, and supporting the slaughter of Christians in those african countries.
For any swing shift smart asses out there wanting links. Piss Off.

Trump doesn’t seem to have a problem signing the bloated budgets he gets from Congress. Never mind the record $3T deficit this year- funding increased for the military and Planned Parenthood as well. Sorry, but any conservative who believes this election year tap dance bullshit from the master con man is nothing more than a sucker being played like a fiddle.

I’m a regular consumer of Paul Craig Roberts’ columns and appreciate his views, opinions and historical perspectives. I don’t see this current one as any endorsement of Trump or his actions as President generally. Roberts may be slipping into the ‘lesser of two evils’ quagmire in response to the disastrous potential Presidency of Harris and Biden. Thanks.
