The United States is ungovernable, or rather is run by organized crime groups leeching off the demoralized and exhausted Americans. I, certainly, don't like Trump, but campaign against him unleashed by Obama and DNC and by the so called "intelligence" (they are only good at sabotage and do not know what real intelligence is) is a state treason. But in Washington it is a norm. Nothing to it, guys, nobody goes to prison--move along, move along.
Agree with Larry completely--Tulsi knew the situation long before Trump was elected. Now, with her in the powerful position it becomes clear that Trump gets REAL intelligence on SMO and the "spread" so to speak. In Russian circles there is a "rumor" circulating that Russian position on 404 may even be tougher than initial conditions given to the US delegation in Saudi Arabia. Looks like there will be de Facto Russian bases in what is called причерноморье (near Balck Sea) --Odessa and Nikolaev--a euphemism for eventual joining Russia de Jure--while the whole political system of 404 will be overhauled per Russia's design.
That the person with courage and integrity in American politics came from the... US Armed Forces. I am not a hopeless idealist, US Armed Forces have a shitload of problems with morale, political generals (and admirals) and suicidal personnel policies, BUT it goes without saying that in the environment where words of duty are not always an empty sound, it is not surprising that Tulsi Gabbard started shooting straight and saying what other creeps from Dem.Party wouldn't even think of saying.
So, Tulsi, you do deserve a highest praise for calling out your party's corruption in general and of Clinton clan (by default) in particular. Maybe there is still a hope for this country. I salute you, Tulsi. As George Orwell said: In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.(c)
In other, seemingly unrelated, but very symptomatic, news, Russian Orthodox Church comes out with a statement (yesterday) which should give all kinds of whiteboard pseudo "economists" a pause and will explain, what I wrote recently (ha, funny--how coincidental) how overwhelming majority of Russians (Orthodox, Muslim, Jewish, you name it) sees Russia:
Translation: Liberalism has no use for Russians, be it in conservative or social wrap. Caste model of society and possibility of some people surviving at the expense of others do not correspond to what is written in Bible. We need value-based traditionalism, which corresponds to our identity.
Oh, boy, Russians are back at it, I mean at "communism", As famous character of immortal 12 Chairs Ippolit Matveevich was asking the priest Father Fyodor, while kicking his legs trying to wrest a chair (allegedly with diamonds in it) from him:
--Holy Father, maybe you are a member of the Party?
--Maybe I am.
But then again, Correlli Barnett could also be accused in being a "communist" when wrote:
… swift decline in British vigor at home and the failure to exploit the empire were not owing to some inevitable senescent process of history....That cause was a political doctrine.... The doctrine was liberalism, which criticized and finally demolished the traditional conception of the nation-state as a collective organism, a community, and asserted instead the primacy of individual. According to liberal thinking a nation was no more than so many human atoms who happened to live under the same set of laws.... It was Adam Smith who formulated the doctrine of Free Trade, the keystone of liberalism, which was to exercise a long-live and baneful effect on British power.... Adam Smith attacked the traditional “mercantilist” belief that a nation should be generally self-supporting.
You see, how everything comes together? Of course, Russian Orthodox Church are not "communists", but this statement made from the highest podium of World Russian People's Sobor (Gathering, Council) in the foundation of which is the idea of "preservation of people" (no, it is not Solzhenitsyn's, it was stolen by him from Lomonosov's, concept). Liberalism left after itself in the last 30 years a non-stop economic crisis, unending wars, annihilation of the middle and working classes and imposed "morals" and "culture" which make Sodom and Gomorrah a concentration of virtue.
Yet, for all seemingly unrelated nature of Tulsi' courageous statement and Russian Orthodox Church's statement on "preservation of people" there is a real connection, which is symptomatic--so called "liberal" societies have no future, because they lack everything which made humanity to endure through millennia--ability to form and live in community and do it peacefully. It is either a common sense or the world is going to be finished. The choice is ours.
Once in a while. She should. After all, Metamucil was invented primarily for people of a fairly advanced age, one of the defining features of which is slowing down of digestive processes which make it difficult to go potty. Hillary is in this age category, which is a primary user of this fiber supplement. Metamucil introduces fiber which helps to, you know, go. The point here, however, is not chronic or occasional constipation we all experienced in our lives, but the fact that if this constipation could be blamed on Russia and Putin. The reason this digestive issue is important, the same as Russian hand in Hillary Clinton's losing last presidential elections, because Russian interference into Hillary's world, ranging from, most likely, instigating Hillary's constipation to helping to out her hubby's closest pedophile buddy, now suicided Mr. Epstein, opens a wide range of applications. If phenomena ranging from constipation to losing in Vegas' casino could be explained by Russian interference, then anything could be explained by this. Remember Hurricane Katrina and devastation it brought? Russians. Remember Hitler? He was Russian, in fact, Putin is Hitler 2.0. Remember hubby Bill's not resisting a blow job in Oval Office? Was arranged by Russians. Maybe even personally by Putin. And Hillary, apart from inventing this method of tracing a causality, surely, uses this method of explanation in full.
You see, Russians and Putin are omnipotent. They literally can run US politics and undermine American democracy on a whim. Obviously Tulsi Gabbard--the only Democratic candidate with a brain--seems like a totally reasonable point of application of Russian interference. But, I think, Hillary Clinton underestimated the power of Russian interference in American democracy. I think this interference is much older and much more insidious and profound than Russians getting behind Tulsi Gabbard in next elections, or Russian controlling current POTUS. I think this Russian evil plan goes back to much earlier times, in fact to Hillary very own hubby's tenure in the White House. It was namely then that Russian launched their macabre plan of turning US political elites into a collection of sociopaths afflicted with mental constipation for which no Metamucil for mind has been invented yet. This, inevitably, led to the United States becoming ungovernable and non-agreement capable. This also brought about the ongoing implosion of many American institutions, some of which were loved globally, like Hollywood, when it was making actual movies, not second-rate Public Service Announcements, as it does today, or like ever-extolled freedom of speech, which is being suppressed today by internet monopolies and those very same US media who are into constructing narratives, not reporting the real news. I will abstain from getting into the real US economy.
Unlike intestinal constipation which could allow a person to eventually enjoy a relieving bowel movement, a mental one cannot be purged by fiber supplements to a diet. Even excessive amount of fruits and vegetables is not going to have a desired effect. To relieve one's mind from mental constipation one has to work hard not only intellectually but emotionally too, trying to not only become an educated person with wide horizons and critical thinking, but also one with integrity, honesty and self-awareness. But that is precisely what those damn Russkies denied US Democratic Party and its top in a masterpiece of an operation of influence. Take it from Hillary, she knows what she is talking about--after all, she is Clinton. Moreover, I think she herself is a Russian operation and possibly an SVR sleeper-agent. Consider this: if Russians wanted to destroy the United States from the inside, how could they approach the implementation of this plan? No better tool for this job could ever exist than DNC, US main-stream media and decrepit US humanities "education". Hillary is a blood and flesh of this system, in fact--she could serve as a poster child for it. And she proved it beyond a reasonable doubt when, escaping enemy fire, she, as a Secretary of State promoted, together with her POTUS, a mediocre Chicago lawyer, a mindless aggressive foreign policy which resulted today in the United States being in a state of geopolitical impotence and retreat, if to politely describe a collapse of Pax Americana. In fact, Hillary is an author of this policy, which also helped to finally mobilize Russia. It played directly into Russian hands! Oh, boy!
So, is Hillary, then, a Russian agent? Judging by the way Russian economy grows (in Russian) as a result of reaction to Hillary's foreign policy which is still in place, by the way Russian Armed Forces reacted to it by returning Crimea home, or playing a decisive role in liberation of Syria from Jihadists (supported by Hillary), or by redefining modern warfare as a result of Hillary's tireless activity as an instigator of all kinds of regime changes, like this:
by overall reaction of Russians (and many Americans, actually) to seeing a US Presidential Candidate being nothing but a deranged sadistic sociopath--because of that, the United States, is in the greatly diminished position today and Hillary played a crucial role in this rather sad, for Beltway, state of the affairs. Thus, the conclusion is inevitable--she is a Russian asset, because no Russian spy or operation of influence could have dealt so much damage to the United States than Hillary and her...Russian handlers (wink, wink) did? I think Tulsi Gabbard should use this line, that DNC are Russian agents. In fact, I think CIA is a front for SVR and NSA is a subdivision of GRU. And why not? In the world of people with mental constipation anything is possible, and it is possible, when instead of brain one has a pile of stagnant shit. For everything else there is Metamucil (c).
Tulsi Gabbard? Here comes Russiagate 2.0. In a self-destructing Republic main stream media are totally adequate to making the US, yet another time, world's laughing stock and confirm US media reputation as a collection of miscreants and lowlifes (many with all those Emmy's, Grammy's, I am sure Oscars and Pultizer prizes). So, Russians are at it again and this time they chose Tulsi Gabbard to manipulate US elections and it must be true since MSNBC and their "investigative" cretins said so:
United States is slowly turning into Idiocracy meets Ninety Eighty Four and, of course, I am sure those unnamed "experts" all graduated Law School at COSTCO or maybe those highly regarded Walmart Schools of Broadcasting to make those conclusions. But we already knew who next Russian Manchurian Candidate will be--Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. On a more serious note--US main stream media (euphemism for mostly, not exclusively, DNC propaganda machine) are in the overdrive to completely turn this country into a paranoid madhouse. Oh wait...
I am not a naive teenager to believe that US oligarchy and national security-warfare state really cares about the "will of the people", law or the fate of people who actually made America great at some point of time. It is all bunk and words such as "democracy", "electoral process" or "rule of law" when applied to the United States today come across as a bad joke. But still, personalities matter and they still can make a difference in a long run. After all we all can see how that difference, in terms of destruction of the country, is being made by such personalities as shallow mediocrity and racist Obama, or a NY's very own Israel's stooge and hot air balloon Donald Trump. And we all know that in the endless game of BSing American public through never ending and pointless electoral process, most promises made by power hungry nonentities mean squat. Yet, even Marxist generalists bothered themselves with the role of personality in history.
So, in this case, apart from Fox surprisingly giving a podium to her, Tulsi Gabbard speaks a total geopolitical and military common sense about Iran and possible war with it, and she does have background, unlike it is the case with Bolton or Trump himself, to speak with authority. Listen for yourself.
However, knowing how American political party machines and media are corrupt to the core, especially so with DNC, which is basically a variation of an organized crime group, I don't think Tulsi has a chance at Democratic (what an irony to call totalitarian liberal-fascist party "democratic") primaries. Too bad, she could have made a difference. She certainly knows where, apart from systemic crisis of liberalism, America's woes originate from--non-stop and unwinnable wars, which already bankrupted the country. Judging by Tulsi's young age, she, if she sticks around and fights, granted I personally do not share some of her political views, she will become a voice of reason of note to take on presidency in the future. In the end, the Democratic Party as it exists today is a train wreck (or rotting corpse, if one wishes) which cannot exist anymore in its present form. In general, she does come across as a decent human and promising politician--this is not nothing in times of a complete madness and corruption of the American political class.
Trump will veto this most likely and then there is another small twist to all that:
Congress is “no longer going to ignore its constitutional obligations when it comes to foreign policy,”
said Democratic Rep. Eliot Engel, who chairs the House Foreign Affairs
Committee, adding that the war in Yemen, now in its fifth year, “demands moral leadership.”
But here is this constitutional conundrum, I omit here the impetus of Saudis greatly publicized slaughter of opposition journalist Khashoggi, in this matter: US Congress can not make treaties but it can and it did, in fact, it de-fanged Trump. Remember?
Trump is really NOT in control of US Foreign Policy and a single occasion on which US Congress raised its voice allegedly for moral reasons, doesn't change situation with US foreign policy being ultimately controlled by neocons both in executive and legislative branches. While Saudi's genocidal war against Yemen must stop, this all is as far as it goes. American political machine and, especially, its foreign policy establishment are broken and I don't see how this could be fixed.
