lewrockwell--2020-11-11--US Color Revolution: The Not So Phantom Menace

The Black Revolution in the U.S. is proceeding according to script .
We are into the 3rd act of it .
Act I was the Coronapocalypse setting the stage for vastly expanded government powers and the systemic undermining of the sitting President .

Underneath the headlines the forces arrayed against Trump were building the infrastructure to ensure that however the people voted on November 3rd, the outcome was pre-determined in their favor against him.
Act III is the election itself and the aftermath. The coup has begun. The pressure campaign to force the incumbent Trump, hated by the establishment, to concede has ratcheted up to eleven.
This is all very normal for color revolutions, just ask Alexander Lukashenko in Belarus or Viktor Yanukovich formerly of the Ukraine. We can’t ask Slobodon Milosovic. He dead.
But one thing happened they didn’t count on, Trump actually winning the election by margins in swing states that couldn’t be overcome without overt and blatant fraud.
That’s created the opportunity for a complete reversal of the current results and a successful countering of the color revolution strategy, which rests on a media-made frenzy supported by foreign government leaders to oust the sitting president from power quickly without proper adherence to the process.
And that feeds the plot points for the next eight weeks until Congress convenes to certify (or not) the Electoral College.
President Trump refuses to concede the election, and rightly so. There are multiple paths to not only victory for him but also exposing the deep corruption of the election process and the people who control it.
Lukashenko survived the color revolution in Belarus because the attempt there was ham-fisted. It lacked the ingredients necessary to pull it off — identitarian division within the people and ‘corporate’ sponsorship.
The conditions weren’t ripe for that kind of result. All he had to do was offer reforms once the energy died down and make peace with Russia and he would survive. Manifest Destiny: Demo... F. William Engdahl Best Price: $18.99 Buy New $19.95 (as of 09:45 UTC - Details)
Ousting him from power may not have been the primary goal, but achieving the secondary goal of severing EU and US ties to it and forcing Russia to devote resources to Belarus is almost as important.
So, if Trump wants to lead the nation he has to show it by fighting tooth and claw, just like Lukashenko did. And that means organizing support for him across the country. This is why he is incredibly smart to organize rallies. According to Axios:
President Trump plans to brandish obituaries of people who supposedly voted but are dead — plus hold campaign-style rallies — in an effort to prolong his fight against apparent insurmountable election results, four Trump advisers told me during a conference call this afternoon.
“Insurmountable election results??” Really? A few thousand votes separates Trump from outright sweeping all the battleground states whose vote totals are very sketchy and this is ‘insurmountable?’
This is what I mean by the pressure campaign having gone plaid. There is no responsible journalism left within the major media outlets.
Only those who were forced out on principle or corruption have the ability to speak their mind now.
Martina, the vitriol went well beyond Trump-some 70m ppl have been called vile, bigots, racists & xenophobes & are now being threatened w/being put on target “lists” as punishment for supporting him. They’ve been demonized by the very ppl now sanctimoniously demanding “civility.” https://t.co/sjiZebqWBm — Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) November 8, 2020

The bigger point Megyn doesn’t articulate is that this division is exactly the kind of ‘secondary goal’ desired if Trump prevails in the courts or through the Electoral College.
Regardless of the outcome that division cuts deep enough to ensure an America permanently weakened, ripe for a complete remaking into a hellish place. There is a full-court press on right now across the world to attack sovereignty of important states whose populations are dissident to The Davos Crowd’s Great Reset — notably the U.K., the U.S., Poland and Russia.
Trump’s fight is their fight. His supporters and sovereigntists of all stripes are to be ritualistically humiliated by every headline, every utterance, every Tweet and every newscast between now and when the State Legislatures meet to select slates of Electors in December.

lewrockwell--2020-11-11--The New York Times Attacks Putin for Not Interfering in the US Electoral Process

The morning after Joseph R. Biden Jr. became president-elect of the United States , the Kremlin published a congratulatory message from President Vladimir V. Putin .
It was a happy-60th-birthday greeting to a Moscow theater director .
Unlike his Western European counterparts , who quickly posted congratulations on Saturday , Mr. Putin had not issued a statement on the president-elect even as night fell in Moscow on Sunday .
Four years earlier , the Kremlin rushed out a message for President Trump within hours of the American television networks calling the race on election night .
“ Putin is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tail before his enemies , ” a prominent pro-Kremlin analyst , Sergei A. Markov , said in explaining the difference .

[ The “ early sign ” being he draws the line at actively participating in the regime coup against the possibility of Trump . ]
While Mr. Trump never delivered on Russian hopes of rapprochement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ foreign policy dovetailed with the Kremlin ’ s desire to weaken the Western alliance and to expand Russian influence around the world .
Mr. Biden , by contrast , is a president-elect whom Mr. Putin already has many reasons to dread .

Four years earlier, the Kremlin rushed out a message for President Trump within hours of the American television networks calling the race on election night.
Given the result hasn’t been officially declared yet, and is still contested by the sitting president, wouldn’t any intervention by Putin, at this point, amount to ‘Russian meddling’ in the US election?

The early signs indicate that Mr. Putin is preparing for a deeply adversarial relationship with America’s next president. [The “early sign” being he draws the line at actively participating in the regime coup against the possibility of Trump.] While Mr. Trump never delivered on Russian hopes of rapprochement between Washington and Moscow, his America-first foreign policy dovetailed with the Kremlin’s desire to weaken the Western alliance and to expand Russian influence around the world.
Mr. Biden, by contrast, is a president-elect whom Mr. Putin already has many reasons to dread. Mr. Biden sees Russia as one of America’s biggest security threats, promises to rebuild frayed ties with European allies and, as vice president, worked actively to support pro-Western politicians in Ukraine [that’s one way to put it], a country at war with Russia.

As swing states counted votes in recent days, Russian state television increasingly adopted Mr. Trump’s assertion that the Democrats had stolen the election. A reporter in Washington for Russia’s state-run Channel 1 ridiculed the street celebrations of Mr. Biden’s victory as those of people “crying, hopping around and getting drunk.” On a Sunday-night news show, the host Dmitri Kiselyov said the election showed the United States to be “not a country but a huge, chaotic communal apartment, with a criminal flair.”

lewrockwell--2020-11-11--Does the Military Defend Our First Amendment Freedoms?

It happens almost every time I write an article that is critical of the U.S. military .
But it happens every time I write an article on Veterans Day that is critical of the U.S. military .
In either case , I get a few e-mails that upbraid me for daring to criticize the military and its soldiers—as if you could really separate the two .
The soldiers , after all , are the ones who do the actual fighting .
You can ’ t have a war without soldiers .
Sometimes the writer of one of these e-mails informs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ service , but usually not .
In fact , most of the criticisms I receive in response to my articles about the military are not from soldiers at all .
They are typically from armchair warriors , employees of defense contractors , or people who have had a relative in the military—none of whom have ever “ served ” a day in the military .
I can ’ t even remember the last time a Vietnam Veteran wrote me and expressed anything but anger and regret for what he did while fighting in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ W ...

Here is an actual example , and it is from a veteran : I just read your column on your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not disagree with you more .
If you actually read this I ’ d like to ask you two simple questions .
• Who gave you the right to write such a piece ?
• Who allowed you to print it ?
You never gave it second thought did you ?
You most likely wear your 1st Amendment right of free speech on your sleeve and wave it for any critic to see how YOU have the RIGHT to write such dtibble .
Your and your publisher printed your piece without fear of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we U.S. citizens enjoy a free press .
These two , simple freedoms that are taken for granted by you and , honestly most others most are there because of U.S. Marines , and our Armed Forces .
Tens of thousands of us have died or worse , for our country and your right to write and publish such an Article .
The saddest thing is that 99.999 % of the people you hurt by writing such articles would , and have defended your right to do so .

What these two critics of mine are basically saying is that the military defends our First Amendment freedom of speech and freedom of the press .
Nothing could be further from the truth .
First of all , it is not the First Amendment that gives us the freedom of speech and freedom of the press .
The First Amendment reads as follows : Congress shall make no law respecting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the free exercise thereof ; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press ; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances .

The First Amendment , like the entire Bill of Rights , does not grant Americans any rights .

And second , no one in Iraq , Afghanistan , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Italy , Japan , Syria , Mexico , the Philippines , Cuba , Panama , Korea , Lebanon , Somalia , Bosnia , Haiti , Kosovo , or any other place the United States has sent its soldiers was trying to keep Americans from exercising their First Amendment Freedoms .

(For the record, the article in question began with me saying that none of my sons were Marines.)
What these two critics of mine are basically saying is that the military defends our First Amendment freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
First of all, it is not the First Amendment that gives us the freedom of speech and freedom of the press. The First Amendment reads as follows:

In Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, Congress is granted certain limited powers. Abridging the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press is not one of them. Nevertheless, the Bill of Rights—of which the capstone is the First Amendment—was added to the Constitution in 1791 at the insistence of the Anti-Federalists. The First Amendment, like the entire Bill of Rights, does not grant Americans any rights. It prohibits the government from infringing the natural rights that Americans already have. The First Amendment merely reinforces the idea that the federal government lacks the authority under the Constitution to abridge Americans’ existing freedoms to speak and publish, as well as exercise their religion, assemble, and petition.
As Judge Napolitano put it:
Each of the signatories of the Declaration and those who ratified of the Bill of Rights manifested in writing their unambiguous belief that the freedom of speech is a natural right — personal to every human. It does not come from the government. It comes from within us. It cannot be taken away by legislation or executive command.
As the framers understood, all persons have a natural right to think as we wish and to say and publish whatever we think.
And second, no one in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, Vietnam, Germany, Italy, Japan, Syria, Mexico, the Philippines, Cuba, Panama, Korea, Lebanon, Somalia, Bosnia, Haiti, Kosovo, or any other place the United States has sent its soldiers was trying to keep Americans from exercising their First Amendment Freedoms.
If you read the Declaration of Independence, which includes a list of the colonists’ grievances with the British government, you won’t find any complaints that the British government was infringing upon the colonists’ freedom of speech or freedom of the press.
No Nazi soldier was fighting to strip Americans of their freedom of speech. No Viet Cong guerrilla got up in the morning vowing to prevent an American from publishing anything. No Iraqi “terrorist” killed American soldiers so that Americans back home would stop speaking freely. No Afghan “insurgent” planted an IED because he was upset about press freedom in the United States.
No foreigner has ever been a threat to Americans’ freedom of speech and freedom of the press. It is the U.S. government that has always been the biggest threat.

Well you ’ ll be happy to know that the next US president and his crack team of ventriloquists are assembling a cabinet of mass murderers that ’ s as diverse , inclusive and intersectional as America herself .
It ’ s been obvious for a long time that Joe Biden ’ s cabinet would be packed with Obama holdovers , war pigs and whatever primary opponents he owes favors to , but now that he is the media-anointed winner of the presidential election we ’ re getting a bit more confirmation on who they ’ re expected to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the heavy favorite to lead the US war machine into further imperial conquest as Secretary of “ Defense ” is a butcher of the fairer sex named Michele Flournoy , who was Obama ’ s Under Secretary of Defense for Policy from 2009 to 2012 .

It declared that , “ when the interests at stake are vital , …we should do whatever it takes to defend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the unilateral use of military power.
” While working at the Center for Strategic and International Studies ( CSIS ) , a “ Top Defense and National Security Think Tank ” based in Washington D.C. , in June 2002 , as the Bush administration was threatening aggression towards Iraq , she declared , that the United States would “ need to strike preemptively before a crisis erupts to destroy an adversary ’ s weapons stockpile ” before it “ could erect defenses to protect those weapons , or simply disperse them.
” “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ administration as Under Secretary of Defense for Policy , where she helped engineer political and humanitarian disasters in Libya and Syria and a new escalation of the endless war in Afghanistan before resigning in 2012 , ” report Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J S Davies in another Antiwar piece on Flournoy .
“ From 2013-2016 , she joined Boston Consulting , trading on her Pentagon connections to boost the firm ’ s military contracts from $ 1.6 million in 2013 to $ 32 million in 2016 .

It ’ s clear that its weapons of mass destruction need to be dealt with forcefully , and that ’ s the path we ’ re on .

Also under discussion for a role in leading the US threshing monster is Senator Tammy Duckworth , who has for months been aggressively attacking the Trump administration for not confronting Russia over the completely discredited claim that Moscow had paid Taliban-linked fighters to kill occupying coalition forces in Afghanistan .

A favorite to lead America’s other war department, also known as the State Department, is former National Security Advisor and Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice. Rice is an ideal choice for a leading role in the Biden administration because she holds the valuable trifecta of being (A) female, (B) Black and (C) an enthusiastic promoter of the Iraq invasion which murdered a million human beings.

Some quotes from Rice, courtesy of Everett:
“I think he [then Secretary of State Colin Powell] has proved that Iraq has these weapons and is hiding them, and I don’t think many informed people doubted that.” (NPR, Feb. 6, 2003) “It’s clear that Iraq poses a major threat. It’s clear that its weapons of mass destruction need to be dealt with forcefully, and that’s the path we’re on. I think the question becomes whether we can keep the diplomatic balls in the air and not drop any, even as we move forward, as we must, on the military side.” (NPR, Dec. 20, 2002) “I think the United States government has been clear since the first Bush administration about the threat that Iraq and Saddam Hussein poses. The United States policy has been regime change for many, many years, going well back into the Clinton administration. So it’s a question of timing and tactics. … We do not necessarily need a further Council resolution before we can enforce this and previous resolutions.” (NPR, Nov. 11, 2002; requests for audio of Rice’s statements on NPR were declined by the publicly funded network.)

Rice, who is also notorious for helping to deceive the world into the destruction of Libya, may have difficulty getting confirmed for Secretary of State in a Republican-held Senate. But one way or another she’s guaranteed to be playing some role in the Biden administration.
Also under discussion for a role in leading the US threshing monster is Senator Tammy Duckworth, who has for months been aggressively attacking the Trump administration for not confronting Russia over the completely discredited claim that Moscow had paid Taliban-linked fighters to kill occupying coalition forces in Afghanistan.
You might think that someone who promotes cold war escalations on a daily basis which have no relationship to facts or reality might make Duckworth an unsuitable candidate for military leadership, but what you are apparently too bigoted and Russian to realize is that the Senator from Illinois is both a woman of color and handicapped. I bet you feel silly now.
Reminder: Donald Trump has not publicly called out a foreign dictator who reportedly has put bounties on American troops for 130 days. — Tammy Duckworth (@SenDuckworth) November 3, 2020
Up for consideration as leader of America’s most sociopathic government agency is Obama’s former CIA Deputy Director Avril Haines, who protected all perpetrators implicated in a Senate report on CIA torture from suffering any consequences for their unspeakable brutality, and helped redact that same report. If selected Biden would become just the second president with the highly progressive distinction of selecting a female CIA Director, the first being Donald Trump when he appointed Torturer-in-Chief “Bloody” Gina Haspel (whose appointment Haines supported).

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to see how else the Decency President plans to uplift us with girl power and diversity of ethnicity and sexual orientation in the most powerful force of human slaughter in the history of civilization. 2021, here we come!
Intersectional Omnicide
Our weapons will be manufactured by corporations
that have pansexual CEOs and Muslim shareholders.
The bombers will be emblazoned with rainbow flags
and flown by empowered women of all colors
who will scream “YAAASSS QUEEN!” as the mushroom clouds arise.
The desert sand will turn to glass in the blasts,
and that glass will become a ceiling,
and that ceiling will be shattered
by a lesbian CIA Director.
People will be vaporized on the spot,
or watch their own bodies fall apart like sandcastles,
but they will never be misgendered.
We will march as equals,
white, black, Asian, indigenous,
and whatever miscellaneous extras we can find
(so long as they’re photogenic enough for Instagram),
arm-in-arm singing “Fight Song” in one voice
beneath a drone-filled sky
to the edge of extinction
where we will leap together
screaming “This is all Susan Sarandon’s fault!”
into the face of the abyss.
It won’t be pretty,
it won’t be wise,
but at least,
for one glorious flash,
we will get to feel like we really tried.
