nine minutes with paul joseph watson on the fallout from the trump win by the cat ladies;
Friday, November 8, 2024
i've been seeing variations on this in the last few days. there certainly are some who would jump up immediately;
As I watched the jubilation abound in the MAGA crowd, celebrating the election of Donald Trump for, I think, only the second non-consecutive two-term presidencies in U.S. History, there was something quite disturbing about it. As I have mentioned before, including the recent video post, the election was really a question of whether Kamala would be selected, leading to WWIII or Donald Trump’s election that would lead to Civil War II.
Numbering our wars is a bad sign, suggesting a continuum of hostility, but then, it’s a hostile world. Not electing Kamala, did not necessarily prevent WWIII, because they do have a few months here to instigate a war and toss it into Trump’s lap like a live grenade, if, indeed, the conflicts between Ukraine and Russia and Israel and the whole Middle East are not already beyond cooler heads prevailing. I simply recognized that Putin would take a continuance of the present regime as a persistent threat, not one that could possibly be deescalated and allow him to seek some beneficial brokered surrender of Ukraine.
Now that the outcome of the election is known, even CNN and AP finally calling Wisconsin for Trump, even though with 99% reporting, they’re only separated by 33,000 votes. Sound familiar? But he would have won it with Alaska, if they had the decency to call the obvious win as quickly as they called California.........more........
now all i need to do to fully understand this caitlin essay is to learn what larping is/are;
Trump supporters are George W Bush supporters LARPing as Ron Paul supporters.
Virulent Iran hawk Brian Hook has reportedly been chosen by Donald Trump to help staff the State Department of the incoming administration, just in case you were still holding out hope that this time might be different and Trump really would end the wars and fight the deep state.
Readers might remember Hook as the swamp creature who in 2017 was seen in a leaked State Department memo lecturing Rex Tillerson on the US government’s policy of using human rights as a cynical tool to undermine enemies and reinforce alliances. This is done, Hook explained, by ignoring human rights abuses when they are perpetrated by US allies while emphasizing them at every opportunity in the nations of enemy governments in order to “impose costs, apply counter-pressure, and regain the initiative from them strategically.”
“The ‘realist’ view is that America’s allies should be supported rather than badgered, for both practical and principled reasons, and that while the United States should certainly stand as moral example, our diplomacy with other countries should focus primarily on their foreign policy behavior rather than on their domestic practices as such,” Hook wrote in the memo, saying that “In the case of US allies such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the Philippines, the Administration is fully justified in emphasizing good relations for a variety of important reasons, including counter-terrorism, and in honestly facing up to the difficult tradeoffs with regard to human rights.”..........more.....
