shoebat--2020-08-26--President Of Ukraine Warns Of Possible Violence Breaking Out In Belarus

The president of Ukraine , Volodymyr Zelensky , recently warned of the potential of violence breaking out in Belarus which has currently been seeing demonstrations against the government .
As we read in a report from RT : “ I wouldn ’ t want them to have similar events to what we had in 2014 , ” Zelensky told France-based news network Euronews .
“ I don ’ t want the Belarusian people to die .
I don ’ t want them to be shot dead or to have some other serious bloodshed caused by the government.
” In February @ @ @ @ @ @ @ removed from office after months of protests on the streets of Kiev .
At one point , clashes between demonstrators left over 100 dead and many more injured .
Zelensky hopes Belarus will avoid a similar fate .
“ I really think that it is not too late for the authorities and society to start a dialogue , ” he said , clarifying that “ Ukraine will not intervene.
” Zelensky ’ s warning is not without merit .
Millions of people have suffered in Ukraine because of the political machinations of both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the BPB recounts this dismal reality : The same report also speaks of Russia ’ s involvement in the Russian incursions into Crimea : The Russian-Ukrainian conflict began in the days following the Maidan revolution in early 2014 .
On February 27 , 2014 , soldiers without sovereignty insignia appeared on the Ukraine ’ s Crimean peninsula .
They declared that they wanted to protect the rights of ethnic Russians in the Crimea , occupied strategically important points , including the regional parliament , and established a new regional government .
Initially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its own soldiers .
Months later , Russian President Vladimir Putin admitted on state television that they were Russian special forces .
What concrete goals Russia is pursuing with its Ukraine policy is unclear to many observers .
At his ” Crimean speech “ Vladimir Putin spoke of the restoration of the unity of a historical Russia to which he also counted the South of Ukraine in a press conference on April 17 , 2014 .
This questioned the sovereignty of the Ukrainian state of Russia , in the same month in Eastern @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and active members of the Russian military intelligence service GRU were directly involved in this , as of August 2014 , after Russia had also established regular armed forces in eastern Ukraine .
There was also coordination and collaboration between the US and Ukrainian intelligence in commencing the Ukrainian revolution against Viktor Yanukovych .
In 2014 , right after the Euromaidan revolution , Valentyn Nalyvaichenko , who was before this the first deputy head of the Security Service of Ukraine , was elected Commissioner in charge of supervision over the Security Service of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ukraine ’ s Security Service was highly controversial on account of his deep history with the CIA .
In fact , when the Security Service had its graduation ceremony for recruits in 2008 , it was attended by both the US ambassador William Taylor Jr. and Nalyvaichenko whose decision to invite the ambassador was criticized by current and former employees of the Security Service .
The Euromaidan revolution of 2014 was infested with Ukrainian nationalists and Nazis who were militants of various violent paramilitary organizations .
Information actually leaked out revealing that Nalyvaichenko @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Stephan Bandera Tryzub , a Nazi neo-Nazi organization .
That the head of the Ukrainian Security Service ( which is the CIA of Ukraine ) was working to train neo-Nazis , and that this head of the Service was intimate with Washington , really reveals that the Gladio policy — in which NATO intelligence services recruited and trained Nazis after the Second World War to form paramilitaries in Europe — never ended and still continues today .
This may shed light as to why German neo-Nazis were traveling to Ukraine to fight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ singer , Famine , travelled to Kiev to spread pro-Nazi propaganda late 2017 .
It was in such training camps for Ukrainian Nazis that on July 17th , 2013 , in the village of Ternopol , Dmytry Yarosh , leader of the Tryzub , declared that Ukraine needs a “ national revolution ” and as long as “ the Russian Empire in any form ” exists , Ukrainian independence will be impossible .
In early April 2014 , the Ukrainian publication , Ukrainian Pravda ( “ Ukrainian Truth ” ) published a report @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ The Right Sector : Behind the Scene ” ) .
The report noted how Nalyvaichenko , while a member of parliament , had Nazi terrorist Dmytry Yarosh , as his aid and consultant in the Supreme Rada .
It is not that surprising that McCain collaborated with the Nazi party in Ukraine , Svoboda , even with its leader , Oleh Tyahnybok .
The resurgence of ultra-nationalism in Ukraine does not only involve anti-Russian sentiment , but also anti-Polish sentiment as well .
McCain ’ s ally Tyahnybok actually demanded that Poland @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
On April of 2013 , the Polish government registered a draft resolution that declared the OUN ( Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists ) and UPA ( the Ukrainian Insurgent Army ) as main perpetrators of the genocide of the Polish people during the Third Reich reign of terror .
The Ukrainian government struck back at Poland , with Ukraine ’ s parliament stating that the “ project shows signs of Polish colonialism and chauvinism , interference in the internal affairs of Ukraine and territorial claims of Ukraine.
” ( See Byshok & Kochetkov @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this day Ukraine honors these Ukrainian death squads as heroes , as a report from CS Monitor states : Tensions between Ukrainians and one of their traditional oppressors , Poland , go back centuries .
But the current acrimony has its roots in the chaotic events of World War II , when Ukrainian nationalists sided with Nazi Germany in hopes that defeat of the Soviet Union could lead to creation of a Ukrainian state .
The Nazis had other plans , and Bandera was arrested when he tried to declare independence in 1941 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the UPA continued their battle , often in collaboration with the Nazis , in hopes of achieving that goal .
Critics argue that , while they were certainly “ fighters for Ukrainian independence , ” they are in no way presentable as founding father figures due to their fascist ideology , collaboration with the Nazis , and involvement in mass ethnic cleansings of non-Ukrainian ethnic groups .
Tensions between Poland and Ukraine are still ongoing and increasing .
Poland passed a law criminalizing propaganda in favor of the racist Bandera ideology , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ committed by Ukrainian allies of the Nazis ( particularly , the Volhynia Massacre of 1943-1945 ) .
The bloodthirstiness and cruelty really showed itself in Volhynia where Ukrainian nationalists butchered a quarter of a million Poles .
It is this genocide that the Poles mention often , and it is the mention of this genocide that enrages Ukrainian nationalists who adamantly will deny this butchery .
While the Polish government criminalizes denial of this genocide and praise for the murderers , the Ukrainian government officially recognizes the Ukrainian Insurgent Army members as “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Ukrainian statehood ” and actually makes it a criminal offence to object to their violent acts .
Here is an observation that is worth considering : the fact that Ukraine still praises the orchestrators and executors of genocide , means that Ukrainian nationalists can do it all again .
And yes , I am suggesting that Ukrainian nationalists can bring back the killing fields and butcher hundreds of thousands of Poles .
In the year 2014 , our modern world — so used to war violence being seen in the Middle East @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the European pagan in Ukraine .
In the region of Odessa on May 2nd of 2014 , political opponents were burned alive in a building by Ukrainian nationalists , the descendants of the nationalists who butchered Poles in Volhynia .
The militants set the building on fire with molotov cocktails and cried out , “ Glory to Ukraine !
” as they watched with glee as people , agonizing in flames , leaped out of windows .
We have become so conditioned to talk about war torn Africa , or the war torn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the idea of a war torn Europe , devastated by Europeans killing one another over ideology , that people will listen with an indifferent silence that comes from a mind urging to talk about the headlines of the Middle East or what the president said .
But we must at least conceive the idea in our minds : Europe will be ripped apart by war , and we have already seen a bloody image of this in Ukraine .

The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, recently warned of the potential of violence breaking out in Belarus which has currently been seeing demonstrations against the government. As we read in a report from RT:
“I wouldn’t want them to have similar events to what we had in 2014,” Zelensky told France-based news network Euronews. “I don’t want the Belarusian people to die.

At one point, clashes between demonstrators left over 100 dead and many more injured. Zelensky hopes Belarus will avoid a similar fate. “I really think that it is not too late for the authorities and society to start a dialogue,” he said, clarifying that “Ukraine will not intervene.”
Zelensky’s warning is not without merit. Millions of people have suffered in Ukraine because of the political machinations of both NATO and Russia. A recent report from the BPB recounts this dismal reality:
Since 2014, more than 10,000 people have died in the war. According to the German Red Cross , around 3.4 million people were dependent on humanitarian aid in the summer of 2018. About 2.8 million people were forced to flee from eastern Ukraine, including 1.6 million internally displaced persons. The former coal and industrial area of the Donetsk Basin is in ruins.
The same report also speaks of Russia’s involvement in the Russian incursions into Crimea:
The Russian-Ukrainian conflict began in the days following the Maidan revolution in early 2014. On February 27, 2014, soldiers without sovereignty insignia appeared on the Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula. They declared that they wanted to protect the rights of ethnic Russians in the Crimea, occupied strategically important points, including the regional parliament, and established a new regional government. Initially, Russia participated in the participation of its own soldiers. Months later, Russian President Vladimir Putin admitted on state television that they were Russian special forces. … What concrete goals Russia is pursuing with its Ukraine policy is unclear to many observers.

There was also coordination and collaboration between the US and Ukrainian intelligence in commencing the Ukrainian revolution against Viktor Yanukovych. In 2014, right after the Euromaidan revolution, Valentyn Nalyvaichenko, who was before this the first deputy head of the Security Service of Ukraine, was elected Commissioner in charge of supervision over the Security Service of Ukraine.

In fact, when the Security Service had its graduation ceremony for recruits in 2008, it was attended by both the US ambassador William Taylor Jr. and Nalyvaichenko whose decision to invite the ambassador was criticized by current and former employees of the Security Service.
The Euromaidan revolution of 2014 was infested with Ukrainian nationalists and Nazis who were militants of various violent paramilitary organizations. Information actually leaked out revealing that Nalyvaichenko was involved with summer training camps for the Stephan Bandera Tryzub, a Nazi neo-Nazi organization. That the head of the Ukrainian Security Service (which is the CIA of Ukraine) was working to train neo-Nazis, and that this head of the Service was intimate with Washington, really reveals that the Gladio policy — in which NATO intelligence services recruited and trained Nazis after the Second World War to form paramilitaries in Europe — never ended and still continues today. This may shed light as to why German neo-Nazis were traveling to Ukraine to fight Russians, and why the French metal singer, Famine, travelled to Kiev to spread pro-Nazi propaganda late 2017.
It was in such training camps for Ukrainian Nazis that on July 17th, 2013, in the village of Ternopol, Dmytry Yarosh, leader of the Tryzub, declared that Ukraine needs a “national revolution” and as long as “the Russian Empire in any form” exists, Ukrainian independence will be impossible. In early April 2014, the Ukrainian publication, Ukrainian Pravda (“Ukrainian Truth”) published a report entitled, Za Kulisamy Pravogo Sektora (“The Right Sector: Behind the Scene”). The report noted how Nalyvaichenko, while a member of parliament, had Nazi terrorist Dmytry Yarosh, as his aid and consultant in the Supreme Rada.
It is not that surprising that McCain collaborated with the Nazi party in Ukraine, Svoboda, even with its leader, Oleh Tyahnybok. The resurgence of ultra-nationalism in Ukraine does not only involve anti-Russian sentiment, but also anti-Polish sentiment as well. McCain’s ally Tyahnybok actually demanded that Poland give to Ukraine 19 of its districts. On April of 2013, the Polish government registered a draft resolution that declared the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists) and UPA (the Ukrainian Insurgent Army) as main perpetrators of the genocide of the Polish people during the Third Reich reign of terror. The Ukrainian government struck back at Poland, with Ukraine’s parliament stating that the “project shows signs of Polish colonialism and chauvinism, interference in the internal affairs of Ukraine and territorial claims of Ukraine.” (See Byshok & Kochetkov, Neo Nazis & Euromaidan)
To this day Ukraine honors these Ukrainian death squads as heroes, as a report from CS Monitor states:
Tensions between Ukrainians and one of their traditional oppressors, Poland, go back centuries. But the current acrimony has its roots in the chaotic events of World War II, when Ukrainian nationalists sided with Nazi Germany in hopes that defeat of the Soviet Union could lead to creation of a Ukrainian state. The Nazis had other plans, and Bandera was arrested when he tried to declare independence in 1941. But thousands of his followers in the UPA continued their battle, often in collaboration with the Nazis, in hopes of achieving that goal. Critics argue that, while they were certainly “fighters for Ukrainian independence,” they are in no way presentable as founding father figures due to their fascist ideology, collaboration with the Nazis, and involvement in mass ethnic cleansings of non-Ukrainian ethnic groups.
Tensions between Poland and Ukraine are still ongoing and increasing. Poland passed a law criminalizing propaganda in favor of the racist Bandera ideology, and also any denial of the military crimes committed by Ukrainian allies of the Nazis (particularly, the Volhynia Massacre of 1943-1945). The bloodthirstiness and cruelty really showed itself in Volhynia where Ukrainian nationalists butchered a quarter of a million Poles.
It is this genocide that the Poles mention often, and it is the mention of this genocide that enrages Ukrainian nationalists who adamantly will deny this butchery. While the Polish government criminalizes denial of this genocide and praise for the murderers, the Ukrainian government officially recognizes the Ukrainian Insurgent Army members as “fighters for the freedom and revival of the Ukrainian statehood” and actually makes it a criminal offence to object to their violent acts.
Here is an observation that is worth considering: the fact that Ukraine still praises the orchestrators and executors of genocide, means that Ukrainian nationalists can do it all again. And yes, I am suggesting that Ukrainian nationalists can bring back the killing fields and butcher hundreds of thousands of Poles.
In the year 2014, our modern world — so used to war violence being seen in the Middle East and Africa — saw the savagery of the European pagan in Ukraine. In the region of Odessa on May 2nd of 2014, political opponents were burned alive in a building by Ukrainian nationalists, the descendants of the nationalists who butchered Poles in Volhynia. The militants set the building on fire with molotov cocktails and cried out, “Glory to Ukraine!” as they watched with glee as people, agonizing in flames, leaped out of windows.
We have become so conditioned to talk about war torn Africa, or the war torn Middle East, that when someone mentions the idea of a war torn Europe, devastated by Europeans killing one another over ideology, that people will listen with an indifferent silence that comes from a mind urging to talk about the headlines of the Middle East or what the president said.
But we must at least conceive the idea in our minds: Europe will be ripped apart by war, and we have already seen a bloody image of this in Ukraine.


shoebat--2020-08-26--MGTOW Is Mainstream Because The Struggle Is Real

While the movement has been taking place for some time , a female writer from the UK Guardian writes in horror about he popularization of the MGTOW movement .
Tere has been an awakening … changing the world … one man at a time.
” These are the dramatic words that appear when you visit mgtow.com .
In a video that looks a lot like an action-movie trailer , the words are soon followed by five more that appear to smash through the screen , smouldering fiery red : “ Men … going … their … own way.
” If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ never heard of “ men going their own way ” ( MGTOW ) before , you would probably assume this was a tiny , extreme movement .
But you would be only half right .
The views of MGTOW are indeed unorthodox , even within the sprawling web of groups , lifestyles and cults known as the “ manosphere ” , where women-haters mobilise against a supposed gynocratic conspiracy .
While incels plot violent revenge on women , and pickup artists ( PUAs ) deploy predatory tactics to “ game ” women into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the MGTOW attempt to eschew relationships with women altogether .
They are , literally , going their own way .
Far , far away from any women .
At all .
Although some MGTOW maintain platonic relationships with women and others have one-night stands or visit sex workers , many prefer to abstain from sex , a process referred to as “ going monk ” .
This is too much for some members of the wider manosphere .
The blogger Matt Forney , notorious for posts such as “ Why fat girls @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” and “ The necessity of domestic violence ” , wrote that “ men going their own way is no way for men to go ” and mocked MGTOW as “ a cult for lonely virgins ” .
But this isn ’ t an obscure internet cul-de-sac ; mgtow.com alone has almost 33,000 members .
Its forums ( “ for men only ” ) contain conversations on more than 50,000 topics , with more than 790,000 replies , which range from advice on divorcing as cheaply as possible to lurid stories about women @ @ @ @ @ @ @ murder their husbands .
The site also lists 25 video channels ; between them , these have more than 730,000 followers , and their videos have been viewed a total of 130m times .
( source ) The sad reality is that a lot of what the MGTOW movement says , regardless of what one thinks , is not just a ‘ conspiracy ’ , but rooted in real world experiences shared by millions of men .
I have written about MGTOW before and the movement .
It is not a good movement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ families from forming and thus prevents society from continuing .
The movement is really selfish and destructive , and it promotes a philosophy of hopelessness and misery instead of any possible better future .
That said , MGTOW is not without its roots .
It is essentially a male version of the feminist movement based on social imbalances that can be corrected but are not for political reasons and because Americans would rather be selfish and not help each other , especially within the family , than to do such .
For a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were social changes made by the Boomers and the Silent Generation , women are legally favored more in American society than men , and to that men are given a still heavier legal burden than women .
This has made relationships for men to be potentially dangerous , and has incentivized financially the worst aspects of female hypergamy with no legal way for men to respond , unless they want to risk jail time .
MGTOW asks a simple question : if the risk is not worth the reward , why take it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ men are not interested in relationships- they do not want to be “ divorce raped ” - meaning having their financial and personal livelihoods ruined by a divorce or false accusations -and also do not want to be accused of “ assault ” by a frustrated woman in a dating relationship .
In addition , with the legitimization of female hypergamy and the criminalization of male sexual interests , women are free to sleep around abundantly but men can be at risk of legal consequences .
As a result , many women are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” , leaving the average man out of a relationship , and the women are getting large numbers of “ belt notches ” until they reach their late twenties and early thirties , when some will try to “ settle down ” with a “ nice man ” after they have “ body counts ” many times in the dozens of men .
Would one pay full price for a used car filled with the stains of previous owners ?
One would not unless one was a fool .
Likewise , why should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dignity pay “ full price ” by marrying a woman and exposing himself to the potential legal consequences of expenses , financial loss , and divorce , for a woman who has been “ stained ” by the “ essence ” of dozens of different men ?
Kindness does not mean foolishness , but that is what many women today seem to think of many such men who are not wantonly promiscuous .
It is true that not all women are bad .
However , there are many who are trouble , one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and all it takes is one for a man to have his life ruined permanently .
MGTOW instead says that men should focus on themselves and what they want , and if they want to , use women as “ rentals ” ( for relationships , intimacy , and so forth ) , and then leave them when one is not interested .
The movement started becoming popular over a decade ago , but has emerged as a major social force .
This is part of the reason why I have previously speculated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will commit suicide- because they will not be able to have relationships because nobody will want them .
One already has seen this with Tomi Lahren ’ s recent rant against men that I discussed , where she complains about men but acts in a way that is repulsive to men , when she could have had any man she wanted for years but instead chose to sample the “ buffet phalliorum ” that was before her and now as she is aging wants to lock down a man but nobody wants anything @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a classic “ hit and run ” .
There are a lot of good women .
There is a lot of hope .
However , it is a hard market .
MGTOW , while understandable , is not an appropriate response .
Instead , those who believe they have a vocation to marriage ( which is the supermajority of people ) will have to work harder and likely take more time to find a relationship , but it can be done successfully .
Likewise , I should also make clear that this is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do have a lot of sympathy for men in the dating market right now , as it is an utterly miserable thing , and the plight that many experience should NOT be underemphasized or dismissed as trivial- the pain is real and so is the struggle , for while “ every village has its own dumpster ” , it becomes harder to sort the good from the bad when the entire society is running full speed towards the trash heap .
But as an idea itself , MGTOW can not be accepted because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it would be accepting suicide , which is as wrong as women rejecting men for feminism .
Indeed , no man or woman is perfect , and while there will always be tensions , people must forgive each other , and for those who do not want to be forgiven , to leave them alone and find those who do want this .

The sad reality is that a lot of what the MGTOW movement says, regardless of what one thinks, is not just a ‘conspiracy’, but rooted in real world experiences shared by millions of men.
I have written about MGTOW before and the movement. It is not a good movement and fundamentally is anti-civilizational because it prevents families from forming and thus prevents society from continuing. The movement is really selfish and destructive, and it promotes a philosophy of hopelessness and misery instead of any possible better future.
That said, MGTOW is not without its roots. It is essentially a male version of the feminist movement based on social imbalances that can be corrected but are not for political reasons and because Americans would rather be selfish and not help each other, especially within the family, than to do such. For a combination of reasons, many of which were social changes made by the Boomers and the Silent Generation, women are legally favored more in American society than men, and to that men are given a still heavier legal burden than women. This has made relationships for men to be potentially dangerous, and has incentivized financially the worst aspects of female hypergamy with no legal way for men to respond, unless they want to risk jail time.
MGTOW asks a simple question: if the risk is not worth the reward, why take it? This is why so many young men are not interested in relationships- they do not want to be “divorce raped”- meaning having their financial and personal livelihoods ruined by a divorce or false accusations -and also do not want to be accused of “assault” by a frustrated woman in a dating relationship.
In addition, with the legitimization of female hypergamy and the criminalization of male sexual interests, women are free to sleep around abundantly but men can be at risk of legal consequences. As a result, many women are only pursuing “men of high value”, leaving the average man out of a relationship, and the women are getting large numbers of “belt notches” until they reach their late twenties and early thirties, when some will try to “settle down” with a “nice man” after they have “body counts” many times in the dozens of men.
Would one pay full price for a used car filled with the stains of previous owners? One would not unless one was a fool. Likewise, why should any man with a shred of personal dignity pay “full price” by marrying a woman and exposing himself to the potential legal consequences of expenses, financial loss, and divorce, for a woman who has been “stained” by the “essence” of dozens of different men?
Kindness does not mean foolishness, but that is what many women today seem to think of many such men who are not wantonly promiscuous.
It is true that not all women are bad. However, there are many who are trouble, one does not know who they are, and all it takes is one for a man to have his life ruined permanently. MGTOW instead says that men should focus on themselves and what they want, and if they want to, use women as “rentals” (for relationships, intimacy, and so forth), and then leave them when one is not interested.
The movement started becoming popular over a decade ago, but has emerged as a major social force. This is part of the reason why I have previously speculated that many Millennial and possibly Zoomer women will commit suicide- because they will not be able to have relationships because nobody will want them. One already has seen this with Tomi Lahren’s recent rant against men that I discussed, where she complains about men but acts in a way that is repulsive to men, when she could have had any man she wanted for years but instead chose to sample the “buffet phalliorum” that was before her and now as she is aging wants to lock down a man but nobody wants anything to do with her except to do a classic “hit and run”.
There are a lot of good women. There is a lot of hope. However, it is a hard market. MGTOW, while understandable, is not an appropriate response.

Trump Becometh The Face Of The GOP, And Why There Is A Strong Chance The Democrats Have A Bright Future

Trump has carved himself a name into American politics , and according to an article from Bloomberg , he is replacing Reagan as the new ‘ idol ’ of the Republican party and setting the stage for future GOP contenders .
Donald Trump ’ s re-nominating convention this week is united around his vision for the party , but a loss in November will expose deep rifts in the GOP , forcing a battle over whether his brand of divisive , populist politics will last .
Win or lose , few in Republican politics think the party can ever return @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years ago that embraced small government and an interventionist foreign policy .
That ’ s because Trump managed to harness a Republican base that isn ’ t likely to fundamentally change even if he loses .
It is older , predominantly White and more rural — the same voters who gave rise to the populist Tea Party movement a decade ago — and few Republicans think they ’ ll automatically embrace a more moderate vision of the party or a more moderate brand of Republican candidate .
For that reason , the traditionalists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s allies see the president as a Reagan-like figure who has re-made the Republican Party in a way that will last for a generation , said Andy Surabian , a former Trump White House aide who is now a Republican strategist .
The next presidential election year in “ 2024 is going to end up being a contest of people trying to prove that they have the ability to carry on the Trump torch , moving forward , ” Surabian said .
“ The path for the party is pretty set.
” The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trumpism after he ’ s left Washington is that there may not be enough Republicans in their corner , and they would need to persuade Democrats and independents who are hostile to Trump to warm to a GOP candidate .
Well-to-do , college-educated suburbanites focused on business-friendly policies , many of whom were turned off by Trump ’ s coarse style , might be hard to bring back into the GOP fold .
That tension is evidenced by the absence at the convention this week of the only living Republican former president , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ terms in part by appealing to suburban moderates open to his message of “ compassionate conservatism.
” By contrast , Trump draws his support heavily from working-class , non-college educated voters — mostly men — who want to slash immigration and oppose growing multiculturalism .

“ I think that ’ s an important battle that has to take place , ” said Steele , a frequent Trump critic , who said he wants to see the party have the “ epiphany ” that Democratic nominee Joe Biden predicts will happen after Trump departs the scene .
“ There ’ s a reason why a lot of us have not left ” the Republican Party , Steele said .
“ We think it ’ s worth the fight.
” The party doesn ’ t lack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as Republicans like Maryland Governor Larry Hogan emerged as a vocal critic of Trump ’ s handling of coronavirus .

Donald Trump’s re-nominating convention this week is united around his vision for the party, but a loss in November will expose deep rifts in the GOP, forcing a battle over whether his brand of divisive, populist politics will last. Win or lose, few in Republican politics think the party can ever return to the roots Ronald Reagan planted 40 years ago that embraced small government and an interventionist foreign policy. That’s because Trump managed to harness a Republican base that isn’t likely to fundamentally change even if he loses. It is older, predominantly White and more rural — the same voters who gave rise to the populist Tea Party movement a decade ago — and few Republicans think they’ll automatically embrace a more moderate vision of the party or a more moderate brand of Republican candidate. For that reason, the traditionalists face an uphill climb. Trump’s allies see the president as a Reagan-like figure who has re-made the Republican Party in a way that will last for a generation, said Andy Surabian, a former Trump White House aide who is now a Republican strategist. The next presidential election year in “2024 is going to end up being a contest of people trying to prove that they have the ability to carry on the Trump torch, moving forward,” Surabian said. “The path for the party is pretty set.” The problem with trying to move away from Trumpism after he’s left Washington is that there may not be enough Republicans in their corner, and they would need to persuade Democrats and independents who are hostile to Trump to warm to a GOP candidate.

Michael Steele, who served as Republican National Committee chairman after President Barack Obama was elected in 2008, acknowledges the difficulty of fully remaking the party, but he would like to see the GOP alter its positions to be able to appeal to a more diverse swath of voters to remain relevant in a changing world. “I think that’s an important battle that has to take place,” said Steele, a frequent Trump critic, who said he wants to see the party have the “epiphany” that Democratic nominee Joe Biden predicts will happen after Trump departs the scene. “There’s a reason why a lot of us have not left” the Republican Party, Steele said. “We think it’s worth the fight.” The party doesn’t lack for possible standard-bearers in a post-Trump world, as Republicans like Maryland Governor Larry Hogan emerged as a vocal critic of Trump’s handling of coronavirus. In Congress, Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse and 2012 nominee Mitt Romney, now a senator, have been reliably anti-Trump voices. But others in the party more likely to hew closely to Trump’s playbook won featured roles at this week’s convention. Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley spoke Monday and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem will speak later in the week, both considered 2024 possibilities. Others include Senators Tom Cotton, Tim Scott and Joni Ernst. Dan Crenshaw, a first-term congressman from Texas viewed as a future face of the party, will also speak. To varying degrees, they’ve all allied themselves with Trump, as have other possible 2024 contenders like Senators Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. “We’re already starting to see all this jockeying for what comes next,” said Republican strategist Doug Heye.

I’m not interested in Reagan. He was the Boomer candidate from almost a half-a-century ago. Rather, what interests me is that the GOP does not have a bright future, but the Democrats do, based on this analysis.
One of the major warnings I have put out is that the GOP is in serious trouble, much more so than the Democrats, to the point that they could die as a political entity. Because of long-term demographic changes, social attitudes, and generational changes, the GOP going to lose a lot of their “bastions” in the states and barring a major change to the political landscape, make it so that it would be difficult to get (a) Republican(s) elected in many areas for a long time. We already sees these changes in states such as Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas, driven not by “brown people” but by the migration and concentration of coastal white liberals into major cities and then driving the states from the cities. From this view alone, things were not well for the Republicans.
A lot of people love Trump for his brash language and bold mannerisms of Trump, but what he has proven himself to be is nothing more than, in true Republican fashion, a mere “Democrat-lite” in that he has advanced a Democrat-friendly agenda while not following through in any serious way on his campaign promises. By using racial tension and polarizing speech, and now by establishing himself (or attempting to do such) as a sort of “new Reagan”, the GOP will be for decades bound to this image that in a nation of changing demographics will be associated, rightly or wrongly, with “racism” and used as a political baseball bat to beat any future Republicans into submission with who go against Democrat candidates no matter what views they are.
While many may disagree with this, especially on the political right, there is a dangerous chance- something that will have to be determined by future historians -that Trump put a noose around the GOP and then dumped it over a bridge to sway in the winds by the very same rope on its trachea.
If Trump wins in 2020, which he likely will prevail in, then prepare for at least a future of eight years under Democrat influence but having the same radicalism and extreme language as Trump except for their own context, and when one combines this with the dangerous language being tossed around today of race and accusations of racism but under a different context, it is not a formula for peace, but the legitimization of social chaos.
It is known that Trump has a long history of bankruptcies, and this seems to be continuing with the same pattern. First, he bankrupted his promises and legitimacy by outrageous lying. Second, he put the country further towards financial bankruptcy through money printing on a level that even Obama could not touch by way of the COVID-19 stimulus checks. Now he is bankrupting the remaining political capital that the GOP has to such a point the party itself as it is currently known may disappear.
So much for MAGA.

Its not that difficult to believe. The film, Innocence of Muslims, which helped to spark riots in Libya when Obama was president was found to be connected to the US government, as shoebat.com found in an investigation . Also we cannot forget the fact that the US sparked fighting between the pro-Shah and pro-Islamist factions in Iran in order to cause a revolution against the Mosseddegh government. When the Americans wanted Mohammad Mosaddegh toppled in the 1950s, he was overthrown in what is known as Operation Ajax. The head of the CIA at the time, Allen Dulles, approved $1 million to be used “in any way that would bring about the fall of Mosaddegh”. The Americans funded anti-Mossaddegh propaganda, and CIA operatives even pretended to be socialists and nationalists, threatening Muslim leaders with “savage punishment if they opposed Mossadegh,” making the Muslim masses think that Mosaddegh was an enemy of the Muslim people.

Abe has had ulcerative colitis since he was a teenager and has said the condition was controlled with treatment. Concerns about his health began this summer and grew this month when he visited a Tokyo hospital two weeks in a row for unspecified health checkups. He is now on a new treatment that requires IV injections, he said. While there is some improvement, there is no guarantee that it will cure his condition and so he decided to step down after treatment Monday, he said.
“It is gut wrenching to have to leave my job before accomplishing my goals,” Abe said Friday, mentioning his failure to resolve the issue of Japanese abducted years ago by North Korea, a territorial dispute with Russia and a revision of Japan’s war-renouncing constitution.
