Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Trump announced today he is finally keeping another campaign promise by withdrawing from the Deal paving the way to Iran Nuclear Weapon Power.

Butbutbut Iran already put the money for the Deal into the Clinton Crime Family Foundation!

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


So, what you're saying JSF is that the nuclear deal was cooked up by Obama and Hillary to fund Iran's nuclear program.

Why would they do THAT? A motive seems to be lacking.

Leaked Doc Reveals White House Planning "Regime Change" In Iran

It appears Rudy Giuliani wasn't joking.

Just a few days after the former NYC mayor and latest member of President Trump's unexpectedly let it slip that "we got a president who is tough, who does not listen to the people who are naysayers, and a president who is committed to regime change [in Iran]", the Washington Free Beacon has obtained a three-page white paper being circulated among National Security Council officials with drafted plans to spark regime change in Iran, following the US exit from the Obama-era nuclear deal and the re-imposition of tough sanctions aimed at toppling the Iranian regime.

The plan, authored by the Security Studies Group, or SSG, a national security think-tank that has close ties to senior White House national security officials, including - who else - National Security Adviser John Bolton, seeks to reshape longstanding American foreign policy toward Iran by emphasizing an explicit policy of regime change, something the Obama administration opposed when popular protests gripped Iran in 2009, writes the Free Beacon, which obtained a leaked copy of the circulating plans.

The regime change plan seeks to fundamentally shift U.S. policy towards Iran and has found a receptive audience in the Trump administration, which has been moving in this direction since Bolton—a longtime and vocal supporter of regime change—entered the White House.

It deemphasizes U.S military intervention, instead focusing on a series of moves to embolden an Iranian population that has increasingly grown angry at the ruling regime for its heavy investments in military adventurism across the region. -Free Beacon


"The ordinary people of Iran are suffering under economic stagnation, while the regime ships its wealth abroad to fight its expansionist wars and to pad the bank accounts of the Mullahs and the IRGC command," SSG writes in the paper. "This has provoked noteworthy protests across the country in recent months" it further claims as an argument to push a "regime change" policy.

For now - at least - overthrowing the Iran government, with its extensive and close ties to the Kremlin, is not official US policy; SSG president Jim Hanson told the Free Beacon that the Trump administration does not want to engage in direct military intervention in Iran - and is instead focusing on other methods of ridding Iran of its "hardline ruling regime."

"The Trump administration has no desire to roll tanks in an effort to directly topple the Iranian regime," Hanson said. "But they would be much happier dealing with a post-Mullah government. That is the most likely path to a nuclear weapons-free and less dangerous Iran."

That will likely change, however.

One source close to the White House who has previewed the plan told the Free Beacon that the nuclear deal, also known as the JCPOA, solidified the Iranian regime's grip on power and intentionally prevented the United States from fomenting regime change

"The JCPOA purposefully destroyed the carefully created global consensus against the Islamic Republic," said the source, who would only speak to the Free Beacon on background about the sensitive issue. "Prior to that, everyone understood the dangers of playing footsie with the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism. It's now Trump, Bolton, and [Mike] Pompeo's job to put this consensus back in place."


The source tells the Beacon that Bolton is "acutely aware of the danger the Iranian regime poses to the region."

"John is someone who understands the danger of Iran viscerally, and knows that you're never going to fundamentally change its behavior—and the threats against Israel and the Saudis especially—until that revolutionary regime is gone," the source said, adding that "nothing's off the table right now if Israel is attacked."

That said, Bolton is confident that an Iranian regime change will occur in the next six months [LINK THAT I CAN'T GRAB]

A second source tells The Beacon that the Trump administration recognizes that the "chief impediment to the region is Iran's tyrannical regime."

"The problem is not the Iran nuclear deal it's the Iranian regime," said the source. "Team Bolton has spent years creating Plans B, C, and D for dealing with that problem. President Trump hired him knowing all of that. The administration will now start aggressively moving to deal with the root cause of chaos and violence in the region in a clear-eyed way."

Regional sources who have spoken to SSG "tell us that Iranian social media is more outraged about internal oppression, such as the recent restrictions on Telegram, than about supporting or opposing the nuclear program. Iranian regime oppression of its ethnic and religious minorities has created the conditions for an effective campaign designed to splinter the Iranian state into component parts," the group states. -Free Beacon

"More than one third of Iran's population is minority groups, many of whom already seek independence," the paper explains. "U.S. support for these independence movements, both overt and covert, could force the regime to focus attention on them and limit its ability to conduct other malign activities."

Did anyone say "Ukraine? This is a pretty clear statement that the USA does destabilize other nations.

Quote:

Without a regime change, the United States will continue face threats from Iranian forces stationed throughout the region, including in Iraq, Yemen, Syria, and Lebanon.
Wait. What?
Why is the US facing threats in Yemen? Is Yemen part of our territory? Is Syria? What happened to focusing on America, and not being policeman to the world?

Quote:

"The probability the current Iranian theocracy will stop its nuclear program willingly or even under significant pressure is low," the plan states. "Absent a change in government within Iran, America will face a choice between accepting a nuclear-armed Iran or acting to destroy as much of this capability as possible."

That said, President Trump made clear earlier in the week that US officials must make efforts to differentiate between the people of Iran and its ruling regime.

"Any public discussion of these options, and any messaging about the Iranian regime in general, should make a bright line distinction between the theocratic regime along with its organs of oppression and the general populace," according to the plan. "We must constantly reinforce our support for removing the iron sandal from the necks of the people to allow them the freedom they deserve."

Wilbur Ross’s business partners say he stole $120 million

If you don’t see corruption in American business, look a little closer at Wilbur Ross.

Four of Ross’s six former lieutenants are suing the commerce secretary for robbing them back when they worked together. Alongside improper fees and regulatory penalties, the questionable financial moves add up to a total $123 million, almost a fifth of Ross’ estimated $700 million in wealth.

The story comes to us from Forbes, which has been investigating Ross since the magazine discovered he lied to them about $2 billion in phony assets in order to assure a place on their list of billionaires. Digging into his record as a private equity investor, reporter Dan Alexander documented a boatload of dodgy moves.

Little did we know that what Trump meant was: "No thanks fellas, I'll bring my own."

Almost every single cabinet post has been assigned to a dirty rotten scoundrel billionaire. The biggest heist since The Sting.
These scumbags are raiding the taxpayer coffers and stuffing
their pockets. Like walking into Fort Knox and walking out the
front door with the gold.

Stealing in broad daylight.

Draining the Swamp is the slang phrase for removing the diseased Obamabots driving the Nation into the ground. This policy change regarding Middle East Terrorist Enablers is a result of non-Obamabots being in top Administration positions.

Jewels, I have a little news for you my "friend" "Draining the Swamp" is
slang alright, but allow me to retort:

It means that the chickenshit outfit currently occupying the White House (ugh!) are running roughshod over the Constitution and fucking everything in sight for personal profit and gain. It has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with plain old All-American Greed. Hate to break it to you,
that way, but playtime is over.

So, you almost had it, but not quite. Obama is long gone. You guys, after 2 fucking years are still O-blaming, when all indicators point to the stupidest motherfucker on the planet hasn't a fucking clue as to how to comport himself in the Oval Office and around the world.

Now, wipe the shit off your lips and pay close attention. You know about as much as Trump does on how to be the world's leader. I have to say, it gives
me pause.

Again, Obama blaming. Don't you guys have a different tune? Oh, well when you have shit-for-brains leading the pack of lemmings, what do you expect.
Take fucking responsibility, you fuckers know nothing about world events.
Go ahead, it's okay, we know. No sense in trying to hide it.

Oh shit! You finally didn't blame Obama. Good for you. But, nice try though.

me pause.

Again, Obama blaming. Don't you guys have a different tune? Oh, well when you have shit-for-brains leading the pack of lemmings, what do you expect.
Take fucking responsibility, you fuckers know nothing about world events.
Go ahead, it's okay, we know. No sense in trying to hide it.

Seems fair plain to me. Why are you confused? Does plain American English flummox and perplex you?
Oh shit! You finally didn't blame Obama. Good for you. But, nice try though.
Damn, maybe I should get into this Russian Bot thing. What's the pay like?
I won't take a dime under $20 an hour. Let me know will ya, papa needs a new lap top.

Well, now you have explained how confused you are, possibly beyond any sort of reason.

The phrase Drain The Swamp was coined by who, in this application? Was it you? Are you the originator? Has somebody else misappropriated your catchphrase? I don't believe any of that to be true. Possibly you are the one misapplying the meaning, or contorting it.
Who was in the White House when the phrase caught on? Which White House occupant was the phrase directed at, applied to? I realize that for you, history is a fuzzy concept outside your grasp, but we will allow you to peruse algore's interwebs invention in search of the accurate answer.

Not one word of what you posted here conforms to reality, The Real World.

Oh, come on SGG...

There's plenty of people in the world that are more stupid than Trump is.




And, BTW... how many years were people bitching that the economy was still bad because of GWB while Obama was selling us out to the banks and began the destruction of the US dollar while quantitative easing became a thing under his watch?


If your answer was "many years", you're correct. And you were correct to bitch about it too. GWB was the worst president we ever had because of what he did to the economy at the time, but then Obama dwarfed all of GWB's mistakes in 8 years.



If it makes you feel any better, though I may blame current economical problems on Obama, I place equal blame on the GWB administration as well.


And unlike JSF, I don't paint the current economy in a positive light. Even if things seem to be looking a little better on paper, nothing really matters anymore since we're one step away from holding monopoly money now.

The US economy is broke, and I don't think there is any way to fix it anymore.

Conforming to "The Real World."

Ah, there is the rub. I'll give you one thing Jewels, you sure do know how
to shovel it. Biggest crock o' shit I've ever heard. Fuck who "coined" the
phrase, fuck him and his whole family, may they rot in hell.

Wait, something smells, oh yeah close your mouth dude. Where was I? Oh yeah,
fuck all that bullshit......Drain the fucking Swamp means get rid of the garbage, NOT add to it. Seems like our "very fine people" in the White House forgot to bring the Pine Sol. Of course, when you bring in the dregs of the
earth to Washington, you're bound to get some of that shit on you. Trump
forgot to wipe his ass and decided to bring his scumbag racist cabinet along for the ride. Those folks are the shit on the bottom of my shoe, time to
throw away my shoes.

You see, the way it works is: bring people that will lift the country to greater heights, not fucking shit all over the place. Fucking dogs, no scumbags, that's better. Trump and his kids, that fucking Nazi Miller, that cunt Conway, Sarah Fuckamee Sanders, even that cull Omarosa.

Funniest thing is seeing that scumbag president unloading his "charm" on
that hag Omarosa. This guy is a piece of fucking work. First he hires her and praises her, then he insults her saying she's a low-life. You picked her you fucking moron. I wish he would die of eating his own shit, or something similar.

You fuckers deserve this low-life POS.

Well,TTFN

And now the (ahem!) president, the dickless wonder, revokes security clearance
of Director John Brennan. Quelle Surprise!

Fucking Trump can't stand anyone criticizing him. Fuckling wimp! Low-life scumbag! And the entire National Security community (more than 60 current and former officials) have condemned his beyond petty and stupid move.

Admiral William H. McRaven, the man who designed the attack on Bin Laden, asked that his clearance be revoked in solidarity. He would "consider it an honor."

Wow, a bold statement and a bold move to show that "freedom of speech" is alive and well in the Pentagon.

Well, Bravo I say.

Draining the Swamp.

Tom Price, the head of the Health and Human Services Department, lovely man and rotten scumbag:

Wasting taxpayer's money - uses PRIVATE JETS to fly about the country at the cost of an estimated $400,000 in five months. His predecessor, Kathleen Sebelius, in 8 years in office, took one such flight to visit 3 remote villages in Alaska. Price took one such trip from D.C. to Philly costing $25,000.00 - One flight. Now that is very "swampy."

The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at https://www.mediafire.com/folder/1uwh75oa407q8/Firefly


Yesterday afternoon, President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, was found guilty on eight counts of fraud; Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty to arranging hush payments that violated campaign finance laws “at the direction” of Trump; and Rep. Duncan Hunter, the second member of Congress to endorse Trump, was indicted for misusing campaign funds to fund a lavish lifestyle. Two weeks prior, Rep. Chris Collins, the first member of Congress to endorse Trump, was arrested by the FBI and charged with insider trading.

It sure is a crazy coincidence that all these criminals ended up in key positions around Donald Trump.

Tuesday evening, at a rally in West Virginia, Trump’s supporters chanted, “Lock her up,” even as Trump refused to mention Cohen, Manafort, Hunter, or Collins by name. The closest he came was a strange, repetitive riff, delivered almost as if he was talking to himself. “Where is the collusion?” he asked. “You know, they are still looking for collusion. Where is the collusion? Find the collusion. We want to find the collusion.”

Trump has gone from promising to drain the swamp to drowning in it.

What gets me Shiny is so many of us knew this sh*t upfront. Unfortunately, as they say, "the wheels of Justice turn slowly." I get how pro-Russians will still defend Trump because Disruption and Agitation are the new warfare - something else that is obvious - but the US citizens that are still following and defending that piece of slime... unreachables.

He hired "the best" criminals and he was even wrong about that - they sucked!

Trump sees the light at the end of the tunnel and it's a train - sh*t just got real yesterday, and it's not going to get better, the end is nigh, etc etc... so what are his options?

Dark, guns blazing, scorched earth "come and get me copper!" scenario v1.
Pardon Manafort - "Nice guy, he's been through enough."
Pardon Cohen - hard to imagine after being stabbed in the back, but it could shut him up.
Fire Mueller/Impeach Mueller - phew! That's a weight off!
Remove everyone's security clearances - why not? More agitation chaos theory...
Go to war with Iran - nothing distracts like war

I saw a theory of what was melting down the brains of Trump voters. And their brains will still be a thick, sluggish fluid long after Trump is gone:

Parasites are a huge force in the natural world. For the most part they simply feed on their hosts. But there are a number of cases in which they exert a more insidious influence: they actually change their hosts’ behavior, in ways that benefit the parasites but damage and perhaps eventually kill their victims.

And lately I’ve been wondering if that’s what’s happening to America. How much of our political sickness is the result of a parasitic infection? What I have in mind specifically is an infestation of direct-marketing scams that exploit and reinforce political partisanship, largely on the right, basically to sell merchandise.

If this sounds absurd to you, bear with me a bit. I’m not the first person to make this suggestion – Rick Perlstein, our leading historian of modern conservatism, made basically the same argument (without the biological analogy) back in 2012 https://thebaffler.com/salvos/the-long-con and as I’ll explain, a lot of things have happened since then to reinforce his point.

One holdout juror spared Paul Manafort from a full conviction

“We all tried to convince her to look at the paper trail,” Duncan said. “We laid it out in front of her again and again, and she still said that she had a reasonable doubt. That’s the way the jury worked. We didn’t want to be hung, so we tried for an extended period of time to convince her.”

“But in the end,” Duncan said, “she held out, and that’s why we have 10 counts they did not get a verdict.”

Probe of U.S. Interior Secretary Zinke's conduct referred to DOJ

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Interior Department’s acting inspector general has referred a probe into Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke’s conduct to the Justice Department for further investigation, media reports said on Tuesday, citing unnamed sources.

Referring a probe to the Justice Department means it will explore whether evidence warrants a criminal investigation. Mary Kendall, the acting inspector general of the Interior Department, is conducting at least three probes into Zinke’s conduct, but it was not clear which one had been sent to the Justice Department, the Washington Post said.

Among other investigations, Kendall is probing Zinke’s involvement in a Montana land deal and a decision not to grant two tribes approval to run a casino in Connecticut.
