Intercept Political Idiocy: “Unclear Whether Trump is Foreign Agent”

To mch, have you not read all of the Mish articles about Trump that are negative? I believe he is “all over” Trump as well. Whether anyone agrees with Mish’s views, he seems to at least be fair about listing his negatives.

Libertarian slant is enlightening – especially for purposes of trying to understand current world (e.g. antithesis of the fed’s dogma etc.). In this same way Mish, I’m really amazed that you don’t let the facts speak for themselves in regards to Trump (1) in excess of 3500 lawsuits (2) Trump university — garbage and exploitative (3) “good folks on both sides” in relation to charlottesville — these were nazi’s — do you really support mass murder (4) indictments — manafort/flynn (5) Arm the teachers ? (6) His whole family is working in the white house — There is just too much smoke — I’m a trader and a libertarian — but this guy is an absolute crook/dbag under any type of analysis. As I recall you were all over Hillary weaknesses (I’m no fan) —

Hey Mish here’s a newer video of Jordan Peterson talking about a gotcha interview with Vice and the legacy media. I think it speaks to the Intercepts article link to youtu.be

Sane people understand these types of rants are nonsense. However, since time is running out for the establishment, people should expect the insanity and propaganda to intensify, especially against this anti-establishment President, who must build a wall between Socialism and tyranny before it’s too late.

The govt debt bubble (Socialism) is close to popping. As the sovereign debt crisis spreads from the periphery to the core, the ability for govts to fund their largess will increasingly require more taxes, fees, asset forfeitures, bail-ins, and wars to be imposed on the people. Will it take banks confiscating deposits, and govt confiscating retirement accounts for the average Joe to realize we are on the path to tyranny?

Regardless, sane people should be prepared, because we also know that career politicians never proactively reform. The last defense between an insane mass murderer and law enforcement, that has limited response time or is incompetent, is a gun. Similary, our Founders understood that the only thing between freedom and a tyrannical govt is an armed citizenry. Banning guns insures the only people with guns are govt and criminals, who have always bought them on the black market.

If the establishment and their useful idiots have a sliver of sanity they need to realize they can impeach or assasinate Trump, renig on pensions, impose bail-ins, make up polls, and ban sane comments on social media, but they will never take the guns from Patriots. The establishment knows the 2nd Ammendment was not about protecting the right to hunt, which was ubiquitous at its writing. The fact they are trying to make this point is further proof the propaganda machine is alive and well.

As I read Comrade Risen’s description of The Donald, it occurred to me that all the negatives he listed would actually apply very well to Obama. Especially “racist, liar and narcissist”. Plus Obama always has seemed like the real Manchurian Candidate, groomed and put there by the embedded communist revolutionary Bill Ayers.

Lefties always accuse other people of doing what they themselves are doing. Bill Clinton selling missile guidance secrets to the Chinese in exchange for illegal campaign contributions? Hillary Rodman Clinton selling uranium to the Russians for illegal campaign contributions? Barry giving cash and an OK to develop nuclear weapons to Iran in exchange for … nothing? The adulterous couple in the FBI seeking to overturn the presidential election? Yes, there is lots of treason out there.

Risen is willfully ignorant of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s involvement in selling ownership of a US nuclear mining operation to Russians.

“He is an unrelenting liar and a two-bit white identity demagogue.” Risen is lying.

@[Robin Banks] Russia’s gold reserve to GDP ratio is higher than the US now and its gold reserve to population ratio will exceed the US in a few years if they keep buying. But diplomacy is where Russia is really ‘winning’. Because it has been conducting continuous warfare against other nations, the US is becoming a pariah nation. Putin can talk with the leader of any country – Israel, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, etc. Trump’s moving of the US Embassy to Jerusalem is causing its Muslim allies (and other allies) to question their relationship with US. Frankly, I am okay with this as I am tired of entangling alliances and I’d like to put ‘our’ foreign policy ‘experts’ out of a job.

Nice summary of reality. Groupthink is everywhere.

“Risen is delusional.”

I am afraid that most of the so-called ‘American’ people are delusional about Russia. It’s simply mad hysteria. Here are some numbers from Google or Wikipedia:

Russia population 143 million
US population 325 million
NATO population 906 million
Russia GDP < 2 trillion (USD)
US GDP > 16 trillion (USD)
NATO GDP > 36 trillion (USD)

Russian losses in WWII ~20m (ejecting Germans from Soviet territory)
US losses in ALL wars ~1m

Clearly, Russia is not a threat to US (nor Europe) unless ‘we’ attack them – which means nukes. They do not have the resources to fight a long term war with NATO and they are not going risk war having lost 20m people in WWII – something incomprehensible to most Americans. The US mainland has never even been bombed from the air.

Moreover, Russia has done nothing that should offend US. They intervened in Syria against USG/KSA/UK-armed terrorists who caused the deaths of 100s of thousands of Syrians and also caused the European refugee crisis.

Russia’s ‘annexation’ of Crimea – with the support of 93% of Crimeans – was a purely defensive move after Hillary’s assistant, Victoria Nuland, arranged the overthrow of Ukraine’s elected president using paid demonstrators and snipers – yes those snipers were hired by the USG side.

Russia also intervened in S. Ossetia, in 2008, when Georgian president Mikhail Saashkivili, a friend of Senator McCain and a certifiable nutcase, launched an attack in violation of an internationally recognized cease fire while Putin, PM at the time, was in Beijing for the Olympics.

Yet there is all this hysteria. It is far worse than with Saddam Hussein, who was vilified for years after Iraq I. And the established order – MIC, CIA, State Dept – keeps fueling it. A substantial number of ‘Americans’ believe Putin is trying to re-establish the Soviet Union – or worse. The end result of this mass hysteria will be war and it will certainly be nuclear. I am serioulsy thinking of leaving the country although I might just settle for Oregon where the people are even crazier but where there are no nuclear targets and winds from the Pacific will prevent fallout drift.

I’d bet a wad that this is the cause of all the uproar: “President Trump has accelerated his diplomatic efforts to broker peace (undermine the military industrial complex) among quarreling Arab monarchies…” How dare he upset the status quo! link to axios.com

“The fact that such an unstable egomaniac occupies the White House is the greatest threat to the national security of the United States in modern history.”

And true to progressive form, this dimwit doesn’t have the logical aptitude to conclude from this, that the guy occupying the White House has too much power. Instead just wanting his own favorite Caudillo to have all that power instead.

But this kind of drivel continues to be so popular with the democrats and never-Trumpers, so they keep writing it. The more preposterous the better. It’s like a drug for these people. They just can’t get enough of it.

We should not to get too upset with these guys and their outlandish statements. Pretty much everything that can be said about President Trump has already been said. So here’s a guy who’s sniffing around for a new angle and a novel way to be provocative. While one can never be sure such idiocy won’t catch on, it’s probably pretty unlikely. I would hate to have to earn my living writing stories about President Trump. Almost as bad as being a member of the US House of Representatives.
