looks like even pat buchanan has come to realize who owns and operates the empire;


President Donald Trump, who canceled a missile strike on Iran, after the shoot-down of a U.S. Predator drone, to avoid killing Iranians, may not want a U.S. war with Iran. But the same cannot be said of Bibi Netanyahu.
Saturday, Israel launched a night attack on a village south of Damascus to abort what Israel claims was a plot by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force to fly “killer drones” into Israel, an act of war.
Sunday, two Israeli drones crashed outside the media offices of Hezbollah in Beirut. Israel then attacked a base camp of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command in north Lebanon.
Monday, Israel admitted to a strike on Iranian-backed militias of the Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq. And Israel does not deny responsibility for last month’s attacks on munitions dumps and bases of pro-Iran militias in Iraq.......https://www.lewrockwell.com/2019/08/patrick-j-buchanan/will-bibis-war-become-americas-war/

here is a comment made by a friend i thought a good stand alone post covering the empire and hurricane trump;


What is really needed is the complete dismembering of the Dept. of Just Us, FBI, CIA, and Homeland Security [The actual un-named new government of the U.S. since 2001], however, that will never occur. Trump's real job is to placate the thinking people on the right that have awakened to the NWO and our increasing state of slavery--and infuriate the commie left and its brain dead followers. The left is so pathetically imbecilic, it would be laughable if it didn't have so many emotional morons grasping at its slimy tentacles for some basis for their own delusions. Keeping the TV tuned to CNN will, no doubt, bring about more outlandish claims to support their unhinged positions. Giving Trump the thumbs up for his job is the other side of mendacity which Fox News provides.    
He will appear to try to get things done but most of his efforts will be thwarted by the minions on the hill who, like Trump and everyone else holding top Govco positions, is totally in the pocket of the Rothschild/Vatican mafia. I, like most who are not controlled by the media hacks, actually enjoy Trump's rough talk but that doesn't feed the bull dog. I'm sure you're aware of his constant pandering to the biggest terrorist outfit on the planet, Israel. They give the orders and we do the dirty work. That will not change. Not on trump's watch nor anyone elses. Just look around. He promised to drain the swamp, but has put in office a fine display of swamp characters--as he was ordered to do. Yep, it all sounds good to those who would like to see us advance back into the country founded over 200 years ago but it ain't going to happen.

caitlin titles this: how to make sense of foreign uprisings, and its a clear description of what the 'news' tells you and why;

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation, our government-funded media outlet, has published an article titled “Australian expat living in Hong Kong throws off business suit to join protest movement“. The entire story is in the headline: some random guy, who ABC keeps anonymous but for the name “Daniel”, has joined the protests in Hong Kong. That’s it. That’s the whole entire bombshell newsworthy news story.

“In Australia we have proper democracy but in Hong Kong, democracy is being slowly eroded away and I’ll try to do whatever I can to try and help the cause,” the anonymous guy told ABC.

This sort of enthusiastic empty non-story cheerleading is typical for western media coverage of the Hong Kong protests so far, while these same media outlets consistently ignore or downplay protests against the government of France, Israel, Honduras, India, Indonesia and any other region that happens to fall within the US-centralized power alliance. It’s an amazingly reliable pattern: the entire western political/media class finds protests and uprisings endlessly fascinating when they are in opposition to governments which haven’t yet been absorbed into the imperial blob like China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, Syria, pre-collapse Libya, or then-Moscow-aligned Ukraine, but any protests or uprisings within that empire are ignored at best or demonized at worst.

If dissidents in the United States began donning yellow vests and holding aggressive demonstrations in the current media environment, you could safely bet your bottom dollar that they would be ignored for as long as possible and then smeared as fascists, antisemites and/or Russian pawns thereafter. This would happen with absolute certainty..............https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/08/27/how-to-make-sense-of-foreign-protests-conflicts-and-uprisings/
