Mr. President, leave the GOP and start a “Drain the Swamp Party” party before the 2018 midterm election

America needs a new party that is completely divorced from the duopoly that has waged a chemical and financial war against the American people.  Through the duopoly’s complete control over the electoral process they have made it impossible for a viable third party to offer real change in America.  The president is supposed to be the head of the party and yet the GOP congress is frantically working to stymie President Trump’s agenda.  It is time to really drain the swamp with a new third party dedicated to that purpose.

When Senator John McCain returned to congress from his sick bed to vote on the Obamacare repeal bill, that was just a bait and switch.  As a matter of fact, McCain betrayed his president on the Obamacare repeal bill.  Why you might ask?  Because members of congress receive a $10,000 dollar taxpayer paid subsidy to pay for their Obamacare, a perk that was awarded by congress to themselves, while the American people suffer with high premiums, low coverage and massive fines if they fail to carry insurance they can’t afford to use.  But that’s about to end.  From The Trumpet@Hillary is 44:

Ram ObamaCare exactly as written in law down the GOP congressional throat. Ram ObamaCare exactly as written in law down those who enjoy illegal subsidies the courts have struck down but not yet implemented – then watch as they realize ObamaCare is an Obamination. Enforce ObamaCare as written into law and watch the health insurance system collapse. Ram ObamaCare down every Obama Dimocrat’s throat…

There is also a petition to remove the exemption Congress illegally received from Barack Obama to protect our servants who think they are our masters from having to get on ObamaCare.

Mr. President, drain the swamp.  Start a “Drain the Swamp Party” in time for the 2018 midterm election.  After the Obamacare repeal kabuki dance, the Senate got down to their real agenda of hamstringing President Trump’s ability to conduct his foreign policy.  The Senate voted nearly unanimously to usurp Trump’s presidential powers.  From LaRouchpac:

Russia Sanctions Bill Based On Numerous Frauds

July 28, 2017 (EIRNS)—The Russian sanctions section of the Iran-Russia-North Korea sanctions bill, H.R.3364, which the U.S. Senate gave its final approval to by a vote of 98-2 yesterday and sent to the White House, is a full-scale assault on Trump, openly putting nearly the entire Congress on the record as backers of the of the fake Russia-gate (proven false by the VIPS report), and willing to back the ongoing coup by the British assets in the press, the intelligence community, and Wall Street.

The bill is based on numerous frauds, among them, the assertion that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election. It cites in the findings section the Jan. 6, 2017 intelligence "assessment"—the one that was presented as a consensus of the intelligence community as a whole but turned out to have been composed by a hand picked group of analysts from only three of the 17 intelligence agencies—that claimed that "Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the United States presidential election…"

With respect to congressional review, the bill provides that if the president wishes to lift sanctions—in the language of the bill, actions that either significantly alter or don’t alter U.S. foreign policy—he must submit a report to the Congress which will then be the subject of hearings in the relevant committees, and then a resolution of disapproval or approval "may" be originated in either house, subject to limited debate and then presidential approval or veto. It appears that there’s no requirement on the part of the Congress to even respond with a resolution, if it chooses not to, and therefore, if the Congress doesn’t act, the president can’t do anything.

Basically the Russia sanctions bill awards congress powers that supersede that of the Executive.  Drain the swamp, President Trump.  For the 2018 midterm election start a “Drain the Swamp Party” to run against the Democrats and Republicans.  But the Senate wasn’t finished with their dirty deeds and undermining President Trump.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions in collusion with congress recused himself from the faux Russian meddling in the US presidential election investigation.  In doing so he opened the door for the deeply corrupt Justice Department political appointees to name a Special Investigator with unlimited powers to delve into every nook and cranny of Donald Trump’s entire life and the lives of anyone he or his family has ever had contact with. 

Before the war profiteering millionaire congress left for their five week summer vacation they usurped the president’s power to make recess appointments and issued a threat to the president in the event he decides to fire Sessions.  From The Hill:

Excerpt:

Senate GOP steps up defense of Sessions

Senate Republicans are getting more aggressive in fighting back at President Trump’s attacks on Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says there will be “hell to pay” if Sessions is fired, while Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, warned he won’t hold hearings to confirm a successor to Sessions…

Senate Republicans also quickly slammed the door on the possibility that Trump could use recess appointment powers to get around Grassley.  “I don’t think it’s going to happen,” said Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), a member of the Judiciary Committee, who said Republicans will hold pro-forma sessions every few days to block Trump from making recess appointments.  “If we have to stay in session to protect Sessions, we’d do so,” he said…

If the chamber convenes every few days — even for a few minutes — then it is not, technically, on recess and, therefore, the president cannot make recess appointments…

The use of pro forma sessions to block recess appointments isn’t unusual…  What’s unusual here, is that Republicans are vowing to use the tactic to thwart a president from their own party.

Republicans are acting partly out of friendship to Sessions but also out of concern that Trump may be laying the groundwork to fire Robert Mueller, the special counsel who is leading the investigation of possible collusion between Russian agents and Trump’s inner circle of family and advisers…

Graham warned that such a move could provoke a constitutional crisis.  He is working on legislation would require judicial review of any presidential decision to fire a special counsel to determine whether it complied with the law.  He predicted it would have a large number of Republican and Democratic co-sponsors.

“Any effort to go after Mueller could be beginning of the end of the Trump presidency unless Mueller did something wrong. Right now I have no reason to believe Mueller is compromised,” Graham warned.

Drain the swamp, Mr. President.  Fire AG Sessions and fire Inspector Mueller.  Both parties are corrupted beyond repair and if you need further proof that the parties are utterly corrupt to a treasonous degree read this article from National Review:

Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the Pakistani IT Scammers

There’s more than bank fraud going on here. In Washington, it’s never about what they tell you it’s about. So take this to the bank: The case of Imran Awan, Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s mysterious Pakistani IT guy, is not about bank fraud. Yet bank fraud was the stated charge on which Awan was arrested at Dulles Airport this week, just as he was trying to flee the United States for Pakistan, via Qatar.

That is the same route taken by Awan’s wife, Hina Alvi, in March, when she suddenly fled the country, with three young daughters she yanked out of school, mega-luggage, and $12,400 in cash. By then, the proceeds of the fraudulent $165,000 loan they’d gotten from the Congressional Federal Credit Union had been sent ahead. It was part of a $283,000 transfer that Awan managed to wire from Capitol Hill. He pulled it off — hilariously, if infuriatingly — by pretending to be his wife in a phone call with the credit union.

Told that his proffered reason for the transfer (“funeral arrangements”) wouldn’t fly, “Mrs.” Awan promptly repurposed: Now “she” was “buying property.” Asking no more questions, the credit union wired the money . . . to Pakistan. As you let all that sink in, consider this: Awan and his family cabal of fraudsters had access for years to the e-mails and other electronic files of members of the House’s Intelligence and Foreign Affairs Committees.

It turns out they were accessing members’ computers without their knowledge, transferring files to remote servers, and stealing computer equipment — including hard drives that Awan & Co. smashed to bits of bytes before making tracks.  They were fired in February. All except Awan, that is. He continued in the employ of Wasserman Schultz, the Florida Democrat, former DNC chairwoman, and Clinton crony…

This is not about bank fraud. The Awan family swindles are plentiful, but they are just window-dressing. This appears to be a real conspiracy, aimed at undermining American national security. At the time of his arrest, the 37-year-old Imran Awan had been working for Democrats as an information technologist for 13 years…

Congressional-staff salaries are modest, in the $40,000 range. For some reason, Awan was paid about four times as much. He also managed to get his wife, Alvi, on the House payroll . . . then his brother, Abid Awan . . . then Abid’s wife, Natalia Sova. The youngest of the clan, Awan’s brother Jamal, came on board in 2014 — the then-20-year-old commanding an annual salary of $160,000…   for their IT “work,” the Pakistani family has reeled in $4 million from U.S. taxpayers since 2009.

That’s just the “legit” dough. The family business evidently dabbles in procurement fraud, too. The Capitol Police and FBI are exploring widespread double-billing for computers, other communication devices, and related equipment…

The Daily Caller has also discovered that the family, which controlled several properties, was involved in various suspicious mortgage transfers. Abid Awan, while working “full-time” in Congress, ran a curious auto-retail business called “Cars International A” (yes, CIA), through which he was accused of stealing money and merchandise…

In civil lawsuits, they are accused of life-insurance fraud…  Democrats now say that any access to sensitive information was “unauthorized.” But how hard could it have been to get “unauthorized” access when House Intelligence Committee Dems wanted their staffers to have unbounded access?...

They started arranging the fraudulent credit-union loan in December, and the $283,000 wire transfer occurred on January 18. In early February, House security services informed representatives that the Awans were suspects in a criminal investigation. At some point, investigators found stolen equipment stashed in the Rayburn House Office Building, including a laptop that appears to belong to Wasserman Schultz and that Imran was using.

Although the Awans were banned from the Capitol computer network, not only did Wasserman Schultz keep Imran on staff for several additional months, but Meeks retained Alvi until February 28 — five days before she skedaddled to Lahore. Strange thing about that: On March 5, the FBI (along with the Capitol Police) got to Dulles Airport in time to stop Alvi before she embarked. It was discovered that she was carrying $12,400 in cash. As I pointed out this week, it is a felony to export more than $10,000 in currency from the U.S. without filing a currency transportation report.

It seems certain that Alvi did not file one: In connection with her husband’s arrest this week, the FBI submitted to the court a complaint affidavit that describes Alvi’s flight but makes no mention of a currency transportation report. Yet far from making an arrest, agents permitted her to board the plane and leave the country, notwithstanding their stated belief that she has no intention of returning…

Did the swindling staffers compromise members of Congress? Does blackmail explain why were they able to go unscathed for so long? And as for that sensitive information, did the Awans send American secrets, along with those hundreds of thousands of American dollars, to Pakistan? This is no run-of-the-mill bank-fraud case.

Drain the swamp, Mr. President.  Leave the GOP and start your own party in time for the 2018 midterm election.  Mr. President you were elected by disaffected Democrats, Republicans and Independents.  We the people rejected both parties in 2016 and chose you to turn this Titanic around.  The two parties have defied the will of the people and used our intelligence agencies to usurp power from the president.  From Information ClearingHouse:

Trump Faces Down the CIA and Co-Opts the Pentagon on Syria

“Donald Trump has taken the strangest, messiest route imaginable towards fulfilling his campaign pledge to curtail Washington’s urge to regime change, and to ease tensions with Russia.”

It is also likely that Trump’s gaggle of White House generals, led by Secretary of Defense James “Mad Dog” Mattis and national security advisor H.R. McMaster, have kept the Pentagon in check, preventing a reprise of the mutiny that sabotaged President Obama’s cease-fire and intelligence-sharing agreement with Russian forces in Syria, on September 17 of last year. In a blatant rebellion against civilian authority, U.S. warplanes killed 100 Syrian soldiers at Deir Ez-Zor, allowing ISIS to overrun half the city.

The next week, with Secretary of Defense Ash Carter at his side, Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford told the Senate Armed Services Committee, “The U.S. military role will not include intelligence sharing with the Russians." The Pentagon had “punked” lame duck President Barack Obama and his secretary of state, John Kerry.

Donald Trump took note, and surrounded himself with generals before setting foot in the White House, perhaps to shield his presidency from falling prey to its own “Seven Days In May”-type scenario… 

Trump this summer defied the War Party and its corporate media mouthpieces, negotiating a cease-fire with the Russians in several regions of Syria, to be followed by additional truces, and ending the CIA’s not-so-covert role as Grandmaster of Islamic Jihad. It seemed...unreal…

The demons at the Washington Post and the New York Times have only one explanation for all earthly phenomena, including the termination of the CIA’s jihadist overseer duties in Syria: Trump is “colluding” with the Russians. The Times moaned that “the decision is bound to be welcomed by the Russians.”  The WP whined that “the Russian government had long opposed the program, seeing it as an assault on its interests.”

Neither paper is concerned that the CIA project violates international laws against unprovoked attacks on sovereign nations, as well as U.S. laws against giving material assistance to al Qaida, a prime beneficiary of CIA weapons, or that half a million Syrians have died, as a result.

Despite his apparent vow of semi-silence on the CIA front, Trump could not resist a Twitter retort. “The Amazon Washington Post fabricated the facts on my ending massive, dangerous, and wasteful payments to Syrian rebels fighting Assad,” he wrote, effectively declassifying the now-defunct (are we sure?) CIA terror campaign.

Drain the swamp Mr. President.  The two parties have morphed into one War Party with the goal of removing you from office.  Drain the swamp, leave the GOP and form a “Drain the Swamp Party”.  We will stand with you Mr. President, drain the swamp.  Take your fight to the American people, announce that you are starting a “Drain the Swamp Party” and appoint an independent staff to organize it before the 2018 election.    We have your back Mr. President, drain the swamp.

Drain the swamp: War profiteering US congress alarms the world with Russia sanctions

Abandoning sanity, our millionaire war profiteering congress voted overwhelmingly for punitive sanctions against Russia that will plunge the European Union into deep recession while supporting acts of terror against Russia.  President Donald Trump needs to use this umpteenth month-long congressional vacation to clean house and drain the swamp. 

First to go should be our lunatic UN Ambassador, Nikki Haley America’s shameful embarrassment at the UN.  Her actions at the UN are not only anti-Russia, they are anti-American.  This insane Russia-phobia must end before the world is destroyed.  From Activist Post:

Excerpt:

U.S. Blocks Security Council Resolution Condemning Terror Attacks On Russian Embassy

In a telling display, the United States has actually blocked a U.N. Security Council resolution that would have condemned the July shelling of the Russian embassy in Damascus by terrorist forces.

Terrorists launched a series of mortar attacks on the Russian embassy on July 24 and 25 of this year. Although terrorists have attacked the Russian embassy in the past, the recent attacks came during the backdrop of international peace talks and negotiations that heavily involved Russia as a key player…

Regardless, the U.S. refusal to even agree to condemn terrorist attacks on the Russian embassy is extremely telling, signaling to the world that the U.S. or at least certain elements within the governing structure, have yet to give up on the attempt to not only destroy Syria but Russia as well…

“Alas, despite our partners’ statements of viewing anti-terrorism struggle as their priority, they repeatedly try to protect those who they probably think may be useful in their devastating geopolitical plans regarding Syria. It’s high time they demonstrated their commitment to a political settlement of the Syrian conflict by words, not deeds and tried to join forces in counteracting terrorism,” he added.

Haley’s latest and most dangerous actions at the UN come after our war profiteering congress passed the most hideous, uncalled for sanctions against Russia that have shocked and angered the world.  The sanctions endanger Americans and their interests around the world and have our “allies” ready to jump ship lest they be taken down with us.  America’s politicians’ actions are designed to hamstring our President’s agenda of peace and prosperity.  From Vox:

Excerpt:

Congress has handcuffed Donald Trump on Russia

Nothing unites the parties like mistrust of the president.

Congress has handcuffed Donald Trump on Russia. On Thursday night, sanctions legislation targeting Russia soared through the Senate by a margin of 98-2 just days after it coasted through the House of Representatives 419-3.

So it’s official: One of the first major pieces of bipartisan legislation to pass Congress during Trump’s presidency has been explicitly designed to sharply limit his powers.

The bill takes Obama-era sanctions against Russia that are in place under executive orders — that is, directives that only the president has authority to enact and rescind — and officially enshrines them in the law. It also establishes a new congressional review process that would allow Congress to block the White House from taking steps to ease sanctions if it wanted to. And it imposes a fresh batch of sanctions on Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

Trump now faces an awkward dilemma: veto the legislation and endure the humiliation of seeing Congress — controlled by his own party — override him with ease, as lawmakers in both parties have pledged to do. Or sign the legislation and endure the humiliation of agreeing to a bill that his administration lobbied against in its bid to cling to a key bargaining chip in negotiations with Russia.

Trump wanted to keep sanctions under his control as he angles to turn things around in the rapidly souring US-Russian relationship. Moscow despises US sanctions, and their removal would be central to any kind of major reset between the two countries.

Could it be any clearer that America’s war-profiteering millionaire congress will never allow peace to return to the world?  As long as they continue to reap millions in profits while in and out of congress every American is in grave danger.  It appears the American voters are not their constituents, the terrorists are.  Drain this swamp, now. 

America’s allies are outraged by the betrayal and bullying by our war-profiteering millionaire congress and are lashing out.  From LaRouchepub:

EU Angry at U.S. Russia Sanctions, Demands White House Response

July 24, 2017 (EIRNS)—European Commission (EC) president Jean-Claude Juncker is warning the Trump administration that the EC will respond sharply to the imposition of new U.S. sanctions on Russia if these are adopted "without EU concerns being taken into account."

Among the responses said to be under consideration according to Politico, is the EU "Blocking Statute," a regulation stating that no decision based on extraterritorial U.S. laws is enforceable in the EU. This is the same principle China has asserted in defending its sovereign interests.

Both the Financial Times and Politico obtained a copy of an internal memo which Juncker has reportedly prepared for a July 26 meeting of the EC, expressing concern about the effects of sanctions on European companies "doing legitimate business under EU measures with Russian entities in the railways, financial, shipping or mining sectors, among others." The bill that the U.S. House will vote on tomorrow imposes individual sanctions for investing in Gazprom’s Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project, the Caspian Sea oil and gas pipelines, Ukraine gas transit and the Zohr field off the Egyptian coast.

Yep, that’s what the sanctions are about selling US gas at higher prices in the EU.  And who do you think will profit off of that?  Why our war-profiteering congress, that’s who.  From Geopolitics.

Excerpt:

Is the US Congress Engaged in A Controlled Demolition of the US?

When you have nothing else to offer, offer nothing by playing the sanction card – this seems to be the formula that is persistently used by the Deep State-controlled US Congress. The problem is: the rest of the world can survive without depending on the US economy. If that’s the case, then why are the US legislators behaving in such a way, if not to destroy America itself?

So the American bully wants to slap more sanctions on Russia over alleged misdeeds. This is blatant temper tantrums by a frustrated US trying to get “its way or no way”.

It’s so absurd. The biggest rogue nation on Earth, illegally bombing and killing civilians in several countries simultaneously, covertly arming terrorist proxies in the Middle East, and a rampant subversive interferer in foreign elections around the world, has the audacity to lecture others about probity, resorting to financial arm twisting that makes a mockery of international laws and trade rules…

Russia’s deputy foreign minister Sergey Ryabkov deplored the latest move to tighten punitive measures on the country’s energy, banking and defense sectors, among others. He said it was a calculated step to destroy any prospect of normalizing ties between the US and Russia…

Germany’s foreign ministry sharply criticized America of undermining European energy security and using sanctions as “a tool to advance US industrial interests”.  It’s not Russia being sanctioned so much as America sanctioning its own allies…

The bankrupt US – morally, politically, economically – has nothing worthwhile to offer the world. Its so-called leadership is a lost cause. Attempting to engage with this parasitic wreckage is only a drain on resources.

Few sane people – apart from US politicians and media pundits – would welcome a further deterioration in relations between the world’s two nuclear superpowers. And truth be told, Moscow has up to now shown great patience and amenability to try to improve bilateral ties. But the US political class has shown no interest whatsoever in pursuing any reconciliation. It’s like it has a death-wish.

American lawmakers endorsing the latest sanctions were almost foaming at the mouth, labelling Russia an enemy and citing unhinged accusations against Moscow for meddling in last year’s presidential elections, also for destabilizing Ukraine and, wait for it, “propping up the Assad regime in Syria” – the country where the American CIA has been propping up head-chopping jihadist terrorists for the past six years.

A sign of the impending American political self-destruction is the furious reaction from Europe over the latest sanctions. The Europeans are at last waking up to the fact – long overdue – that Washington is acting brazenly for its own selfish interests and is prepared to inflict pain on Europe, if needs be.

Ah yes, our war-profiteering congress has really shot itself in the foot this time, but the bullet ricocheted and lodged into its head.  The EU and Russia have had it.  From Paul Craig Roberts:

A Ray of Hope

America has been a discouraging landscape ever since the neoconservatives took over US foreign policy during the Clinton regime and started the two decades of war crimes that define 21st century America and ever since US corporations betrayed the US work force by moving American jobs to Asia.

The outlook became darker when the Obama regime resurrected the Russian Threat and elevated the prospect of military conflict between the nuclear powers.

As Europe is caught in the middle, in normal circumstances European countries would have insisted that Washington cease the gratuitous provocations of Russia. But normal circumstances have not existed. Since the end of WW2, European countries have been vassals without independent economic and foreign policies.

Europe hosts US military bases that threaten Russia. Europe has backed Washington’s wars of aggression against Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Washington’s air attacks on provinces of Pakistan, and Washington’s use of Saudi Arabia to fight its proxie war against Yemen.

Europe has backed Washington’s gratuitous economic sanctions against Iran and Russia, sanctions that have cost Europe much and Washington little.

Accustomed to having its way with Europe, Washington commits Europe without even consulting the vassal governments. Now it seems Washington’s extraordinary arrogance and hubris has resulted in overreach…

Europe views the sanctions as a tool of US industrial policy that elevates US business interests over Europe’s business interests.  Let’s hope that Washington’s arrogance will not permit Washington to back down and that Europe will give Washington the finger and disengage from the American Empire.

Without Europe to host its military bases and to parrot its propaganda, Washington’s ability to threaten Russia would significantly decline. Indeed, a continuation of the hostile threatening attitude toward Russia would leave Washington isolated in the world. No country wants the risk of experiencing nuclear war merely for the sake of Washington’s unilateralism.

Last night the war-profiteering U.S. Senate passed the sanctions bill and it was sent to President Trump.  Today Russia has responded.  From Stephen Lendman:

Excerpt:

Moscow Retaliates Against New US Sanctions

Russia’s move was modest, having no effect on bilateral relations.  Washington was ordered to reduce embassy and consular staff in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Vladivostok to 455 people by September 1 – equaling the number of Russian diplomats and staff in America.

Its southern Moscow warehouses and Serebryany Bor property were frozen, access by US personnel suspended as of August 1.  Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin approved the moves. A Russian Foreign Ministry statement said “(i)n the case of new unilateral actions of the US authorities to reduce the number of our diplomats in the US, it will be followed by a tit-for-tat response…”

“The US makes decisions on illegal sanctions against the Russian Federation, seizes Russian diplomatic property, which is formalized in legally binding bilateral documents, Russian diplomats are expelled from the country.”

“This clearly violates the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and generally accepted diplomatic practice…”  Washington unacceptably acts aggressively toward Russia. “(U)nder the guise of its ‘exceptionalism,’ (it) arrogantly ignores other countries’ stances and interests.”

US ambassador to Russia John Teft expressed strong disappointment over the Kremlim’s order to reduce Trump administration personnel in the country, along with freezing American property.  Perhaps he should reflect on how outrageously his country treats others – no matter which wing of its one-party state is in charge…

Russian academic Nikolai Platoshkin suggested a harsher Kremlin response to new US sanctions if they’re enacted.  Congress excluded bilateral cooperation on space-related activities. The Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act does not apply to Russian cooperation with NASA.  Platoshkin suggested “cut(ting) them off from space. May they take a horse,” he said. 

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov explained nothing is being ruled out “to bring overweening Russophobes to their senses…” 

Putin has kept the door open for bilateral talks between Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and President Trump.  President Donald Trump needs to use this month-long war-profiteering congressional vacation to clean house and drain the swamp.  He must clean house and fast.  He made a smart move with his new Director of Communications Scaramucci now it’s time to act and act fast. 

Breaking news!  Trump has begun draining the swamp.  First to go Chief of Staff Reince Priebus.  From The Hill:

Excerpt:

Trump fires Priebus as chief of staff

President Trump has dismissed Reince Priebus as chief of staff, announcing Friday that he has picked Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly as his new top aide.

 Reince Priebus is a great start, now the heavy duty pumps must be fired up and let the great swamp draining begin.   Drain the swamp, President Trump, drain the swamp of war profiteering, anti-American swamp monsters in your administration and bring in American-interests-first replacements.  A good start would be Ron Paul as Secretary of State, Tulsi Gabbard as UN Ambassador and Dennis Kucinich as Ambassador to Russia.  God speed, drain the swamp.

Millionaire congress bombing America into the Stone Age as the world looks to Russia to lead revolution

After sixteen years of illegal wars across the globe, the world is finally sick of America's millionaire congress and is turning to Russia’s President Vladimir Putin for leadership.  America’s wars against resource rich, cash poor sovereign nations have reduced the world’s most sacred ancient treasures to rubble and left the global economy on the verge of collapse.  This millionaire congress has succeeded in bombing America into the Stone Age, while Russia has continued to thrive.  Now the world wants a Putin led revolution.

In order to fund the military industrial complex that many of our members of congress benefitted from, our infrastructure is almost beyond repair.  From Veterans Today:

Excerpt:

Tale of Two Nations: Russia vs USA Economic Prospects

Taking the extraordinary USA and EU economic sanctions against Russia and low oil prices since 2014 into account, Russia’s economic outlook looks excellent going forward while that of Trump’s America looks bleak, to put it mildly…

The growing poverty in America since the beginning of the 1970’s was as a deliberate economic policy consequence of Wall Street policies and notably so after the decision to abandon the Bretton Woods Gold Exchange Standard in 1971…

While the United States over the past five decades has been tearing down its once prospering cities, infrastructure and industry, Russia is building up its national economy on an advanced technological basis with some of the most creative scientific and engineering minds on Earth…

In the United States debts are soaring and the slums and homelessness are spreading, hidden behind United States’ Potemkin Village ultra-wealthy gentrified urban areas like Manhattan in New York City or Washington D C and its wealthy suburbs…

Total private household debt in the United States today is over $12 trillion for combined home mortgage debt, college loans, car debt, credit card debt. That’s a huge burden weighing on the growth potential of the US economy.

Add to this the exponential growth of the US national debt, now just under $20 trillion, and it becomes clear that the campaign rhetoric of the Trump Presidency to “make America Great Again” requires emergency economic measures and effective and well-thought-through Chapter 9 type bankruptcy-reorganization of the nation’s debt in order to allow the United States to again become a real manufacturing economy not merely a financial speculator in debt.

In 1980, at the start of the “debts don’t matter” irresponsibility of the Reagan-Bush era, the level of Federal debt was a very manageable 30% of GDP. By the end of Bush Senior’s term in January 1993, it stood at more than double or 63% of GDP. It was beginning to “matter,” but Wall Street and bond traders loved it.

When George W. Bush, took office in 2001 it had fallen back to 54% through no fault of Bush but rather to Baby-boomer demographics. From there US national debt took off like a ballistic missile, doubling by March 2017 to more than 104% of GDP today, just a whisker below a staggering $20 trillion…

The situation for the EU countries is only slightly better. The Eurozone countries have an average of 90% debt to GDP, far beyond the 60% ceiling of the Maastricht Treaty. In Greece it stands at 179 % , followed by Italy at 133 %, Portugal at 130 %, Cyprus at 107 % and Belgium at 106 %...

By contrast Russia’s state debt is almost miniscule at 13% of GDP in 2016, the US dollar equivalent at present exchange rates of $190 billion. Inflation is currently measured between 4-5%...

Russia’s Central bank reserves today are more than healthy. In addition to a major restocking of its gold reserves the total reserves today stand at $406 billion, higher than in 2014 when it stood at $385 billion.

Russia faces nothing remotely comparable in terms of such a debt prison….  The very advanced military technology that Russia’s intervention into the Syria war has demonstrated to the world confirms that Russian science and technology are world-class, and often far more…

An instance of the kind of innovation and technology potential of this policy of supporting high-tech manufacture drawing on Russia’s extraordinary military aircraft experience is the rollout this May of the first test flight of Russia’s Irkut MC-21 narrow-body commercial jet. THE DEVELOPMENT REPORTEDLY SENT SHOCK WAVES THROUGH THE BOARDROOMS OF BOEING AND AIRBUS.

The Irkut MC-21 has the widest fuselage of any narrow-body jet in the market giving more passenger comfort compared with the “sardines-in-a-can” passenger space on comparable Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 models. More attractive, especially for many developing markets in the Middle East and Asia, is the fact its price is some 15% below the A320...

Another sector of infrastructure manufacturing excellence from Russia is the extraordinary development of Russia’s United Wagon Company… the highly sophisticated new cutting-edge rail car factory of United Wagon’s Tikhvin Railway Car Building Plant in 2012 at a cost of almost $1 billion. Since then United Wagon has grown to be a major world-class builder of advanced specialized rail wagons, and is larger than any European freight wagon producer with 22,000 wagons a year…

Truly prospects for a dynamic, economically growing Russian real economy today are more positive than at any time in the past two centuries or more… 

I can’t help but feel it would do our world far more in terms of the good to end with the silly losing wars everywhere and return to building up our nations and civilization. The energy of war is a no-brainer. Building up is exciting, as China and increasingly Russia realize.

Here in America, the millionaire congress has just passed an almost trillion dollar annual budget for more war while America is on the precipice of a banking collapse that will dwarf the banking collapse of 2008.  From Geopolitics:

The warning of another, devastating Europe-U.S. banking crash before the end of this year, raised by EIR in May and by a meeting of European Parliamentarians in early July, is becoming an emergency danger. It requires a mobilization of actions to stop it.

The Italian banking system, which has just suffered three major bank bailouts combined with “bail-ins” of unlucky savers, is trying to raise capital it cannot raise, to prevent a potential collapse which could take Germany’s banks down with it. U.S.-based banks have $2 trillion of exposure to that looming collapse of bad debt and worse derivatives, centered in London.

Those Wall Street banks, unpunished and bailed out since 2008, have rapidly built up bubbles of corporate debt and commercial real estate derivatives larger than the mortgage-debt bubbles which blew out back then; and default rates and bankruptcy rates are now rising sharply in those bubbles…

President Trump’s policy of cooperation with Russia and China, for peace and mutual benefit, is right, and must be defended against all the attacks on him for it. But it will not survive the chaos of another trans-Atlantic financial crash…

Action must be mobilized rapidly, ultimately by the American people and their organizations.

First, the Glass-Steagall separation of commercial from investment banking must be reinstated, with beginning effect immediately, to break up Wall Street’s gigantic speculative casinos.

Since the Glass-Steagall Act began to be torn down 50 years ago, Wall Street’s banks and funds — with their most dangerous operations always in London! — have been a succubus on the economy, which can’t grow without financial crashes, and since the 2008 crash can’t grow at all. The Glass-Steagall breakup must start now, to prevent the threatening new bank crash.

Then, credit must be issued from a national credit institution…  The purpose is high-technology investments in new, more productive infrastructure to replace the crumbling sinews of the U.S. economy, raise productivity and create productive employment again. It cannot and will not be done by private investment. President Trump must learn this, and the Wall Streeters around him like the Treasury Secretary, have to go.

A great expansion of the United States space exploration program will drive this revival, as the President had stated in a television message to the American people in March…

Then, the President’s intent to cooperate with China and Russia will become a tremendous benefit, especially from the great “win-win” building project — Beijing’s New Silk Road across Eurasia and Africa. Let such high-speed rail corridors, for example, be built across North America. The United States is potentially a full partner in the Belt and Road Initiative.

First Wall Street, in both the Congress and the Administration, must be beaten and broken up, to prevent it from permanently destroying what remains of American industrial economy and scientific capability.

Amen, Lyndon LaRouche that is exactly what Russia has been doing, but our millionaire congress will never allow state owned anything.  They have spent over fifty years privatizing profits and dumping the losses on the American people.  With Russia-phobia reaching a fevered pitch in our millionaire owned media and our millionaire congress won’t allow President Trump to bring any sanity back to our foreign policy.  Our millionaire congress are just a bunch of cave men.  From The Hill:

GOP-controlled Congress nears legislative triumph — on Russia

The House on Tuesday is poised to pass legislation limiting the president’s ability to unilaterally lift sanctions on Russia, which the Trump administration initially opposed…

Republicans and Democrats in both the House and Senate are expected to come together to pass a bipartisan package imposing stiffer sanctions on Russia, Iran and North Korea that has stalled for weeks. The delays triggered Democratic accusations that the Trump administration was trying to kill the legislation to curry favor with Russia…

While prior administrations of both parties have lobbied against various sanctions bills — citing the need for freedom from the legislative branch to make diplomatic decisions — the ongoing Russia controversies have created a perception problem for the White House. In the end, the GOP-led House and Senate pushed hard to move this bill despite major concerns from the administration…

House Republicans aren’t expected to be able to send top legislative priorities they campaigned on, such as healthcare or tax reform, to Trump’s desk before leaving for the August recess at the end of this week.

Instead, one of the biggest legislative accomplishments slated to become law this year will be a measure constraining Trump. It could also lead to more frostiness in the relationship between the U.S. and Russia…

In addition to establishing new sanctions on the three countries, the bill grants Congress the power to block Trump from lifting sanctions.

Trump, who vowed during the campaign to have a friendlier relationship with Russia than his predecessors, issued a tweet Sunday complaining about the “phony Russian Witch Hunt.” Five minutes later, without specifically mentioning the Russia investigations, Trump wrote, “It’s very sad that Republicans, even some that were carried over the line on my back, do very little to protect their President.”

President Trump, you are not the Republicans’ president, they have infested your administration with the most backward cavemen available in the millionaire GOP congress.  They are the source of the leaks and must be removed from your administration before it is too late.  While they were passing this strait jacket legislation, Iraq is “seeking ‘substantial’ Russian military & political presence in Iraq.”  From Veterans Today:

Excerpt:

Baghdad seeking ‘substantial’ Russian military & political presence in Iraq – vice-president

Russian military and political presence in Iraq would bring balance to the whole Middle Eastern and North African region, Nouri al-Maliki, the Iraqi vice-president, said during his visit to Moscow.

“It’s well known that Russia has historically strong relations with Iraq, therefore we would like Russia to have a substantial presence in our country, both politically and militarily,” al-Maliki said during his meeting with the speaker of Russia’s upper house of parliament, Valentina Matviyenko.

“This way, a balance would be established that would benefit the region, its peoples and its countries,” he added…

The vice president said that Baghdad wants to boost relations with Moscow as it believes “in Russia’s role in solving most of the key international issues as well as improving stability and balance in our region and worldwide…”

“Today we need Russia’s greater involvement in Iraqi affairs, especially in the energy field. Now when we are done with Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), Iraq needs investments in energy and trade,” he said.

Everyone knows that ISIS was a CIA creation and there can be no peace in Iraq until the U.S. is kicked out and banned from returning.  The Russian sanctions congress just passed are in response to the phony baloney DNC hacking which has been debunked over and over.  From Consortium News:

Intel Vets Challenge ‘Russia Hack’ Evidence

In a memo to President Trump, a group of former U.S. intelligence officers, including NSA specialists, cite new forensic studies to challenge the claim of the key Jan. 6 “assessment” that Russia “hacked” Democratic emails last year…

Forensic studies of “Russian hacking” into Democratic National Committee computers last year reveal that on July 5, 2016, data was leaked (not hacked) by a person with physical access to DNC computers, and then doctored to incriminate Russia.

After examining metadata from the “Guccifer 2.0” July 5, 2016 intrusion into the DNC server, independent cyber investigators have concluded that an insider copied DNC data onto an external storage device, and that “telltale signs” implicating Russia were then inserted.

Key among the findings of the independent forensic investigations is the conclusion that the DNC data was copied onto a storage device at a speed that far exceeds an Internet capability for a remote hack. Of equal importance, the forensics show that the copying and doctoring were performed on the East coast of the U.S. Thus far, mainstream media have ignored the findings of these independent studies…

VIPS member William Binney, a former Technical Director at the National Security Agency, and other senior NSA “alumni” in VIPS attest to the professionalism of the independent forensic findings.

The recent forensic studies fill in a critical gap. Why the FBI neglected to perform any independent forensics on the original “Guccifer 2.0” material remains a mystery – as does the lack of any sign that the “hand-picked analysts” from the FBI, CIA, and NSA, who wrote the “Intelligence Community Assessment” dated January 6, 2017, gave any attention to forensics.

That is the problem, Trump can’t trust the millionaire congress nor can he trust the intelligence agencies packed with their surrogates.  Now that congress has passed legislation annulling the president’s power to make decisions on foreign policy Trump needs to play hardball and fire the GOP turncoats in his administration.  From LaRouche.pub:

Excerpt:

Are They All Simply Crazy—Or What?

July 16—Under the cover of exposing Russian collusion with the Trump team, the entire political establishment in the United States is committing total self-destruction. Why? Why choose to go down in flames with a transparent lie—Russian meddling in the election—when everyone now knows that it was the Democratic National Committee which meddled against Bernie Sanders? And meddled on behalf of Hillary and against Trump, along with CNN, in coordination with a British-Atlantic spy matrix that includes MI-6, Fusion GPS, and CrowdStrike—along with operatives such as Christopher Steele, John Brennan, and James Comey?...

CNN has dragged its ratings down below those of “Nick at Night” on cable television. The New York Times is shrinking into nothingness before our eyes; the only thing growing is its reputation for war-mongering and lies. What is the Washington Post now, but a public utility for leaking intelligence agents, with a slogan which is fitting only for a Greek tragedy’s self-fulfilling prophecy—“Democracy Dies in Darkness…” 

Along with NBC, and the other main networks, they are all committing a sort of suicide, repeating lie after lie, night after night—all while the American people suffer under the policies which the networks have endorsed for the last 20, if not the last 50 years…

Those policies included the deindustrialization program of the 1970s—Wall Street’s greenie, pro-drug, anti-technology policy. Remember 18% interest rates? …It was in the late 1970s when our nation’s aging infrastructure required a new platform of low-interest credit. Instead, we got the Savings and Loan scandal and the takedown of U.S. industry.

However, it was the last twenty years that saw the blatant neglect of our nation’s industry and population—in other words, a total disregard for the nation’s long-term survival—turned into a policy of psychotic terror. Beginning with the phony impeachment coup run against Bill Clinton—who in 1998 threatened to change the global financial system back towards an industrial orientation as Lyndon LaRouche advised him—the terror has only increased….

Then comes George W. Bush, with zero political power or mandate. That is, no political control over a population as the economic system blows out underneath their feet. And not just long-term survival, but their short term survival has now become threatened.

Thus comes 9-11—a British-Saudi provocation intended to allow installation of a dictatorship—just as Lyndon LaRouche had warned in January, 2001, that some such provocation would ensue…   Cultural hysteria was invoked, not unlike the 1960s, but this time for war. Police-state measures were introduced. A program of perpetual war was launched against all nations that could oppose a global financial dictatorship—including targeting the nuclear powers, Russia and China…

The system is again about to burst—a system of debt and corruption on Wall Street, already ten times bigger than in 2000. By September of 2008, the system is in total disintegration; Cheney is threatening martial law. The $20 trillion plus bailout begins—all under the eye of British agent Barack Obama.

Obama, unbeknownst to most of his supporters, was chosen to be the next President by this fascist coup, specifically because he would continue the Bush legacy—the fascist police state, the perpetual war regime, and the non-stop bailout of Wall Street’s crime system…

Donald Trump, who first ran against the Bush legacy in the Republican Party, and then against the Obama faction in the Democratic party, was, in fact, running a Presidential campaign against the fascist coup first launched against Bill Clinton and brought to full power through the British/Saudi orchestrated 9-11 attack…

So—what does this have to do with the massive Russian collusion story the mainstream media can’t stop talking about—even while a majority of even the Democratic Party voters don’t buy it?

The Wall Street system of massive debt, fraud, and crime, is now ten times bigger than in 2008—and that’s a hundred times larger than in 2000!..

We are at revolutionary breakdown of the system, and the only solution is the adoption of a higher principle of mode of operations, in accord with the creative and immortal legacy of mankind.

So what is our millionaire congress’ answer to the impending destruction of America?  From Geopolitics:

US Mulls Sending Arms to Kiev, ‘not provocative’ | US Envoy to Ukraine

When somebody else is doing it, it’s an aggression. But when it is the US that is moving arms around, it’s perfectly fine. Grown ups tend to insult and degrade themselves, just to get what they don’t have the right to.

Washington is considering sending “defensive” weapons to Ukraine, US special representative Kurt Volker says. He insists the potential move, long desired by Kiev, would not be “provocative.” It comes as Moscow warns against fueling Ukraine’s civil war.

In an interview with the BBC on Tuesday, Volker, who was appointed by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson as the US special representative for Ukraine negotiations in July, said that US authorities are pondering whether to ship armaments to Kiev.

Noting that the discussion is currently focused on “defensive weapons, ones that would allow Ukraine to defend itself and to take out tanks, for example,” Volker argued that such supplies “would actually to help [sic]” Kiev fend off alleged encroachments from Moscow.

Sheesh that’s just nutty.  Is there no one in the Pence selected Trump Administration that Trump can trust?  Trump needs to clean house and fast.  If our millionaire congress goes on their August recess he can fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions and replace him with Trey Gowdy, fire Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and replace him with ex-congressman Ron Paul.   Fire UN Rep. Nikki Haley and replace her with Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.  If he were to fire and replace during the August recess he could replace them without congressional approval.

The world is sick of sixteen years of illegal wars across the globe and has found a compassionate, intelligent leader in Vladimir Putin.  Trump saw this early on and has been hamstrung by a corrupt, fraudulent congress and court system.  Our warring millionaire congress has bombed America back to the Stone Age and there is only one way out.  Trump must repeal and replace his own Pence selected administration, if he doesn’t America is doomed.  Trump must usher in a new revolution for America and recruit like-minded individuals wherever he may find them.

Unhinged: Part II – Congress and CIA wage war against Trump and American people

Congress and the intelligence agencies didn’t want Donald Trump to be elected president and used every tool at their disposal, especially the intelligence agencies and the media to upend his campaign.  Against all odds the American people prevailed and elected Donald Trump. 

Once Trump was elected, instead of congress working with Trump to pass an agenda selected by the people, congress devised a plan to impeach Trump before he even took office.  The CIA has superseded the presidential powers and launched an agenda of its own with the consent of congress for unending wars draining the America treasury and leading the world into physical and financial Armageddon. 

In collusion with congress and British intelligence, the CIA has hatched a plan to destroy Donald Trump and the American people.  From Geopolitics:

Excerpt:

Three Factions of the CIA that Control the World

Every American is a target in the CIA’s domestic espionage war whether they know it or not. The bullets are digital and only a key stroke away from being fired at you.  This is clearly evidenced in the current internal conflicts of the 17 federal intelligence agencies that have arisen from the new Russian “Trump blackmail” scandal and the DNC hacking scandal that was an attempt to derail the presidential election.

These scandals happen again and again and involve warring federal agencies who are theoretically supposed to be protecting Americans… Instead, there is open warfare between the three different factions of the CIA and their enemies who are considered the “lesser agencies…”  

The CIA overrides all other intelligence agencies because it can always pull the “international security” card from its sleeve and trump the lesser agencies which only have the lower priority “national security…”

Essentially, the president of the United States currently conducts “international” warfare without the U.S. Congress, Supreme Court, or U.S. citizens even knowing those wars exist. The president can also wage all types of war secretly within U.S. borders because Obama changed the National Defense Authorization Act, with congressional approval, to give him those powers…  The president now holds more power than ever and these powers are unconstitutional, illegal, and unethical…

It is scary enough to know that under the auspices of “national security,” the president can seize all assets in America under these new powers. But scarier than this is that the CIA can still trump the president under the auspices of “international security…”

The power of the CIA was demonstrated with the recent scandal of “fake news” about President-elect Trump being blackmailed by Russia. The fake dossier of “evidence” was brought into this country from Britain through the CIA…

Scary stuff but that is what President Trump and the American people are up against.  What’s even worse is that is the people that Obama put in charge of the CIA had conflicts of interest in that they served in the British intelligence agency and begs the question, where do their loyalties lie.  For instance James Clapper, who Obama put in charge of all the intelligence agencies who has repeatedly lied under oath before congress has led the charge against President Trump.   

Clapper currently controls an annual budget of around $75 billion and was a former British private spy but could not figure out that the recent fake news propaganda against Trump was complete garbage. Yes, fellow patriots, you read this correctly. A man who is in charge of a $75 billion a year intelligence budget with a professional spy background couldn’t see through the CIA’s attempt to smear Trump’s integrity. But We the People armed with our independent truth media saw through it in a New York minute…

Ultimately, James A. Clapper (known liar and globalist) controls all intelligence in America YET has demonstrated himself to be an enemy of America. After gaining the highest security clearances in America, Clapper then worked for GeoEye, was on the board of three government contractors, worked for Detica (British military intelligence), BAE Systems, SRA International and Booz Allen Hamilton…

He demonstrated his true nature when he left the services of America and worked for British and international private spy agencies, spying on America and using his security clearances as weapons against America…  When the intelligence is false, as it has been since Clapper was appointment by Obama, America can more easily be sold out to transnational, international, and globalist interests…

America is surrounded by CIA control and the Washington D. C. is besieged with CIA swamp monsters…  Bush Jr. followed in the footsteps of his father and did everything his dad told him to do – even though he was not smart enough to understand the orders. Bush Jr. kept the same Neoconservatives and Vulcans in his cabinet as Clinton and Bush Sr. had appointed…

Bush Jr. and Sr., Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Obama are all the same party – CIA Globalists pushing for the New World Order which was Bush Sr. greatest dream…

Comey is a very good example of what has been the revolving door of CIA operatives in the government. Comey is an ex-CIA intelligence operative who works for the Bush-CIA… Comey, Brennan, and Clapper provide the intelligence for the president, the military and all agencies in the U.S. government…

Fake news about the DNC election hacking, nonsense about Trump being blackmailed by Russia, and Homeland Security’s pathetic attempts to hack into voter databases have all been a smoke screen to distract from Obama’s personal war in Syria…

Clapper, Brennan and Comey were happy to agree that 17 intelligence agencies all agreed to these false flag attempts at perception management. All these ridiculous attacks on Trump have backfired and instead have shown a glaring light on the corruption, collusion, globalism, and Anti-American disposition of the three factions of the CIA…

Trump has become enemy number one for all three factions of the CIA because he stands against globalism and promotes the rule of law. The CIA factions thought they were above the law and had become so lax in their gross misuse of power that they are in “shock and awe” at the victory of Trump’s anti-globalism, anti-New World Order platform…

The biggest dog of war, Republican John McCain pushed the fake dossier that British Intelligence prepared for James Clapper to bring down Donald Trump.  From McClatchy News:

Excerpt:

John McCain faces questions in Trump-Russia dossier case

Sen. John McCain faces questions in a defamation lawsuit about leaks leading to publication of the now-infamous dossier that alleged Donald Trump’s campaign had connections to Russian operatives, McClatchy has learned.

The dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele and his London firm, Orbis Business Intelligence Ltd., amounted to a collection of uncorroborated reports of collusion gathered as political research for sale to Trump’s opponents. It proved explosive when published by online news site BuzzFeed on Jan. 10.

Now, two lawsuits — one in the United States and a second in the U.K. — are being brought by lawyers for Aleksej Gubarev, a Cyprus-based Internet entrepreneur whom Steele’s Russian sources accused of cyber spying against the Democratic Party leadership.

According to a new court document in the British lawsuit, counsel for defendants Steele and Orbis repeatedly point to McCain, R-Ariz., a vocal Trump critic, and a former State Department official as two in a handful of people known to have had copies of the full document before it circulated among journalists and was published by BuzzFeed…

In recent congressional testimony, ex-FBI Director James Comey, fired by Trump amid a widening probe, acknowledged receiving the dossier from McCain on Jan. 6.

The Democratic Party elite has conspired with McCain many times on behalf of the war party.  Any real liberals were purged from the Democratic Party a long time ago and now there is nothing left but a bunch of faux liberal lunatics who serve only themselves.  From Black Agenda Report:

Democrats Gone Mad: The Year of Living Stupidly

 “The corporate media’s standing among the public erodes by the day.”

For more than a year now, the collective U.S. ruling class, with Democratic Party and corporate media operatives in the vanguard, has frozen the national political discourse in a McCarthyite time warp…

Clearly, the Trump White House has been crippled by the tsunami that never ebbs, but the Democrats have not been strengthened in the process, and the corporate media’s standing among the public erodes by the day. A poll conducted last month showed majorities of voters want Congress to ease up on Russia investigations and get to work on healthcare, terrorism, national security, the economy and jobs...

Sixty-two percent of voters say there is no hard evidence of White House “collusion” with Russia, and 64 percent think the investigations are hurting the country.  “That two out of three Americans believe the so-called ‘mainstream’ press is full of ‘fake news’ -- including a majority of Democrats…”

The Russiagate blitzkrieg, designed to delegitimize Trump and demonize Vladimir Putin, has exacerbated an already existing crisis of legitimacy for the entire U.S. political system…

The only unequivocal winner is the bipartisan War Party, which has used the manufactured crisis to drench the nation in anti-Russian hysteria – worse than back in the bad old days of the Red Scares… 

So insane have the Democrats become, that we are probably better off with war powers effectively in the hands of Donald Trump, than with California’s Barbara Lee, the only member of Congress that voted against the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.

She was in her “right mind” then, but no longer. Trump’s willingness to talk with the leader of Russia, in Hamburg, infuriated Rep. Lee, who tweeted: “Outraged by President Trump’s 2 hr. meeting w/Putin, the man who orchestrated attacks on our democracy. Where do his loyalties lie?” A better question is: When and where did Lee join the War Party?

The dogs of war at U.S. intelligence agencies have led the charge against Trump since they encamped at Hillary Clinton’s campaign headquarters, last year. The spoiled oligarch was not trusted to maintain the momentum of the U.S. military offensive begun by Barack Obama in 2011, with the unprovoked war against Libya. The state of war must be preserved, whatever the cost to the empire’s domestic institutions.

Skilled in the arts of regime change, the spooks joined with their longtime partners in corporate media propaganda, to foment a “color revolution” at home. Barbara Lee is a recent recruit.

“The Lords of Capital effectively shut the Democrats down decades ago.”

Although the Democrats will ultimately harm themselves with the electorate by folding into the War Party, it suits the purposes of party leadership and the fat cats that finance them. The ruling class has nothing to offer the people except the total insecurity of gig-jobs and austerity…

They can campaign as if there really is a clash of ideas about the organization of society, but they must propose nothing that fundamentally conflicts with the steady consolidation of wealth and power by the oligarchy (the American one, not the Russians). That goes for Bernie Sanders, too. Heard anything about single payer from him, lately?

Glen Ford is right, “the dogs of war at U.S. intelligence agencies” have led the charge against President Trump.  Our corrupt politicians, like John McCain keep feeding the war beast with trillions of our tax dollars and no oversight whatsoever.  McCain has been the latest Vietnam Vet to be diagnosed with brain cancer from his exposure to Agent Orange.  While McCain has enjoyed the luxury of the kind of healthcare only available to the rich and famous, he has repeatedly denied that same care to other veterans who suffer from the wars McCain supports.  From Phoenix New Times:

Excerpt:

John McCain's Fame is Based on His POW Status, But He Has Abandoned Fellow Veterans

If you want to know what it's like to be a veteran in John McCain's home state, stop by the Justa Center in downtown Phoenix…  On any given day, about half the participants are veterans.  There's a special unit reserved for veterans at the shelter, but the waiting list is long, so many vets sleep in a parking lot euphemistically called "the overflow." Justa gives them a mailing address, a place to shower, access to the Internet and phone, lockers to store their belongings.

When Ritchey, a Methodist minister, started the program — which operates on about $260,000 a year, all private donations — one of the first things he did was call the local office of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to get some help for the vets.  It took a year for anyone to show up. And in three years, Ritchey says, the VA has yet to place a single Justa Center vet in housing. There are programs in town that offer housing for veterans, but they've got to prove they're employed…

Almost all his clients have diabetes; many have dementia. Add untreated depression and post-traumatic stress disorder and you have a bad situation, particularly when you have to battle the VA's bureaucracy. Ritchey regularly finds vets napping on the floor by the Coke machine; the sleeping area is too dark and claustrophobic, they tell him.

Bobby Collins, 59, is a homeless Vietnam vet who shows up at Justa from time to time. He's been waiting for a benefits check from the VA for eight months. Collins was shot in the throat in Vietnam, and his leg is full of shrapnel. He's got two Purple Hearts, but he didn't claim his medical benefits for years — he didn't need to; he had steady jobs as a welder and a carpenter. Then, last Thanksgiving, he came to Phoenix and couldn't find work, and quickly found himself homeless. Now he needs the money.

Collins says he's working hard to not be bitter, but when he arrived in Phoenix and saw what few services there were for him as a veteran, he was mad at John McCain.  "I have a lot of respect for Senator McCain as a war hero," he says, but "I would never vote for a veteran who lets veterans in his state be treated this way."

Veterans groups are finally speaking out about their frustration with McCain, who rides on his reputation as a war veteran while sitting on a long record of opposing legislation that would benefit vets…  On the campaign trail, he pledges support. Listening to him, you'd think he's been the veterans' greatest champion. An examination of his record both in Washington, D.C., and Arizona just doesn't bear that out…

The senator didn't support a measure that would have closed tax loopholes to fund improvements at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., though he surely must have wished he had when he saw the stories last year that documented deplorable conditions at the hospital. He has voted against help for victims of post-traumatic stress disorder. He has voted against programs to provide housing to low-income and special-needs veterans. He did not support the latest GI Bill.

While John McCain has tirelessly worked for funding of the military industrial complex, his work for veterans’ funding is abysmal.  The millionaire Senator has access to the best healthcare in America reserved for the elite and receives a $10,000 a year taxpayer subsidy for Obamacare.  While military vets suffer from slashed funding for their medical care the money trough for expanded, endless wars is refilled by McCain and his cohorts in the Senate every year.  From The Hill:

Excerpt:

Senate panel passes $700B defense policy bill

The Senate Armed Services Committee unanimously passed its $700 billion version of the annual defense policy bill, the committee announced Wednesday.

The bill, broken down into $640 billion for the base defense budget and $60 billion for a war fund, follows the funding levels Chairman John McCain (R-Ariz.) has pushed for months and flies past the administration’s budget request…

The Trump administration requested a $603 billion base defense budget and $65 billion for the war fund, known as the Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) account.  In addition to going beyond the administration’s request, the Senate version now stands in contrast to the House version of the bill.

The House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday is marking up a $696.5 billion version of the bill. That version is broken down into $621.5 billion for the base and $75 billion for OCO.

Chairman Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) for months argued for a $640 billion base budget alongside McCain, but late last week agreed to lower his bill’s top line to match up with an emerging budget deal in the House.

In the Senate version, the extra money would go toward 6,000 more soldiers in the Army than requested by the Pentagon, as well as 1,000 more Marines than requested.

It would also authorize 24 more F-35s than requested by the administration, broken down in 14 more F-35As, four more F-35Bs and six more F-35Cs. In total, 94 F-35s would be authorized.

The bill would also provide 10 more F/A-18s than requested, for a total of 24. And it would add $5 billion for shipbuilding above the request, for a total of 13 ships.

Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.), ranking member of the committee, commended the bill as an “important step” but said Congress still needs to repeal the Budget Control Act, which has hampered defense funding…

The bill would also authorize the Defense secretary to establish the Asia-Pacific Stability Initiative, a program conceived by McCain to better address threats in that region, including North Korea and China.

THE BILL WOULD ALSO AUTHORIZE 4,000 MORE VISAS FOR THE SPECIAL IMMIGRANT VISA PROGRAM for Afghans who helped U.S. troops.

That is insane, almost a trillion dollars for endless war passed UNANIMOUSLY while congress wants to slash a half trillion dollars from Medicare and give tax cuts to the rich.  The war party is America’s enemy.  So much for Bernie Sanders being a champion for the people.  If congress wants to charge someone with treason they should look within their own body.

This bill plows even more cash into an engorged defense bill that goes directly into the CIA through its Overseas Contingency Operations, a completely unaccountable war funding slush fund when war hasn’t been declared.  This is insane especially given that President Trump has now ordered the end of funding terrorists in Syria end.

With congress passing an almost trillion dollar annual war budget the CIA needs a Wall Street tycoon schooled in the corrupt practice of theft to run the agency’s budget.  Mike Pompeo is not a friend to Trump, neither is he loyal to America.  He is hiring his longtime partner in crime Brian Bulatao to oversee the CIA slush fund.  From NBC News:

Excerpt:

CIA's New "Mayor" Comes From Finance Firm, Not Intelligence World

Brian Bulatao, a private equity investor from Dallas, is slated to become the No. 3 official at the CIA, according to current and former intelligence officials.

The job has traditionally, but not always, been filled by career intelligence officers. It is not subject to Senate confirmation.

The position has long been known as "executive director," but CIA Director Mike Pompeo is changing the title to "chief operating officer." The executive director has been called the CIA’s "mayor," responsible for the internal workings of the agency that employs an estimated 20,000 personnel worldwide.

Bulatao is no stranger to Pompeo, the former Kansas congressman who was named director by President Trump. The two were West Point classmates, graduating in 1986, and later business partners, according to officials…

Pompeo and Bulatao were among several West Point alumni who in 1998 founded Thayer Aerospace, a Wichita machining company. The firm received financing from a venture capital company funded by the Koch brothers, according to a 2011 story in the Washington Post.

The company was sold in 2006 and Bulatao moved on to executive roles at a packaging company before entering private equity in 2010. He is currently a senior adviser at Highlander Partners, L.P., a Dallas-based investment firm that claims more than $1 billion in assets under management.

America has become unhinged.  Members of congress serve the CIA not the American people.  No politician can be elected without the express consent of the CIA; at least that was the way it was until Trump.  Donald Trump didn’t need the CIA’s slush fund to get elected.  Donald Trump cannot be bought, tempted with vices nor bribed.  He is a threat to the status quo.  Congressional members now “serving” in Trump’s administration are not his friends, especially Mike Pompeo, Jeff Sessions and Mike Pence.  From Paul Craig Roberts:

Trump Cannot Improve Relations With Russia When Trump’s Government and the US Media Oppose Improved Relations

President Trump Has Been Contradicted by His Own Government, Which Has Lined Up Against Him in Favor of Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, and the Russophobic Presstitute Media that serves the military/security complex and the neoconservatives…

On the same day that President Donald Trump said “it is time to move forward in working constructively with Russia,” and the day after he said “I had a tremendous meeting yesterday with President Putin,” the ignorant, stupid, Nikki Haley, who Trump appointed as US UN Ambassador, publicly contracted her president, forcefully stating: “we can’t trust Russia and we won’t ever trust Russia…”

Joining Nikki Haley was Trump’s Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson. Tillerson, allegedly a friend of Russia, is also working overtime to worsen relations between the two nuclear powers by publicly contradicting the President of the United States, thereby making it clear that Trump is barely even a cipher…

There is no one in “his” government that supports him. Every one of them works to undermine him. And he sits there and Twitters…   “His” administration is staffed with violent Russophobes. Wars can be the only outcome…

Trump is beginning to see what a serious mistake it was to trust Mike Pence with the selection of his cabinet.  If Trump really wants to drain the swamp he must start with his own cabinet and remove the swamp scum brought in by Pence.  Trump has already said he regrets the appointment of the lunatic Jeff Sessions as his Attorney General. 

Under Robert Mueller’s FBI banks conducted massive terrorist and drug cartel money laundering operations in history with no one being prosecuted.  Deutsche Bank who was fined $41 million in March for money laundering has agreed to hand over Trump’s banking records to Robert Mueller.  According to Bloomberg News, "A settlement on the Russian mirror trades with the U.S. Department of Justice is still outstanding."

  

The appointment of special investigator, Robert Mueller who is a lifelong Deep State handmaiden and Comey crony, ensures Trump is going to be either impeached or assassinated.  If either happens, it will be a death blow to the American people. 

The CIA controlled GOP and DNC, through its Election Integrity Commission will ensure the American people never again choose their president or even their congress for that matter.  For that is the logical conclusion to congress and the CIA’s unhinged war against Trump and American people.
