WARJÀ VU
Do you ever get that “feeling” that you have seen this before?
Well Tubularsock calls it WARJÀ VU.
It is that “Here we go again moment”.
George W. Bush promised a humble foreign policy with no nation building:
“If we don’t stop extending our troops all around the world in nation-building missions, then we’re going to have a serious problem coming down the road. And I’m going to prevent that.” (Candidate Bush)
He criticized the Clinton-Gore Administration for being too interventionist.
Barack Obama spoke out against the impending war in Iraq in the fall of 2002 and in 2004 questioned the Bush administration’s management of the Iraq War, and highlighted America’s obligations to its soldiers.
As Ivo Daalder, a former National Security Council official under President Clinton who later headed up a team advising Obama on nonproliferation issues, put it, “There’s a feeling that this is a guy who’s going to help us transform the way America deals with the world.”
AND YET, Obama pursued similarly imperialistic policies to those of his predecessor, George W. Bush.
In fact, if you are counting Obama out did Bush in bombing and killing!
Bush: Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Somalia.
Obama: Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Libya and Syria.
“I will never send our finest into battle unless necessary, and I mean absolutely necessary, and will only do so if we have a plan for victory with a capital V,” he thundered. “The world must know that we do not go abroad in search of enemies.” (candidate Trump)
Trump’s view of the Iraq War BEFORE he was President:
*** March 2007 interview on CNN (“Declare victory and leave”)
*** 2008 interview with British GQ (“First, I’d get out of Iraq right now”)
*** 2011 interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan where Trump said he’d get US troops in Iraq “out real fast.”
Donald Trump promised an America First foreign policy that would shrink the US role on the world stage and spend more money at home than abroad.
1. Sending more American troops to Afghanistan.
no timetable for when those troops would come home.
2. Syria, where Trump has deployed sizable numbers of American combat forces and directly attacked the military of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.
3. Iraq, Trump has not only dispatched hundreds of new US troops to the country but has also put them closer to the front lines and given them more freedom to bombard targets from the air.
4. In Yemen, elite US special operations forces are conducting ground assaults while the US wages an increasingly brutal air campaign against
Trump even mused about sending the US military into Venezuela, though he didn’t offer any explanation of why or what their mission would be.
This is the exact opposite of what many of Trump’s core supporters had expected. And same went for Obama and Bush!
And here is the key:
We have never left the neoconservative foreign policy paradigm that the U.S. must dominate the world. And that is where regime change comes into play.
So these continuous wars that we find ourselves in, REGARDLESS OF THE FEELINGS OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, are due to a pre-fixed program of American domination.
And no matter which Party or what the President says about being AGAINST WAR, they are not.
Yet the public falls for it time after time.
As Zbigniew Brzezinski expressed, “Most Americans are close to total ignorance about the world. They are ignorant. That is an unhealthy condition in a country in which foreign policy has to be endorsed by the people if it is to be pursued. And it makes it much more difficult for any president to pursue an intelligent policy that does justice to the complexity of the world.”
So the way the ignorant citizen is directed into this false and dangerous foreign policy is by “false-flag” actions such as the Gulf of Tonkin and the 9/11.
Because an external enemy threat has been the tool to keep the citizens in line even when they are opposed to continuous wars.
And now ENTER JOHN BOLTON and GINA HASPEL!
John Bolton is so conservative that he, years ago, had fallen off the “right” end of the conservative spectrum into the lunatic fringe.
He believes that a first strike against North Korea and Iran would be acceptable.
He falls in with the Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz crowd that brought us the Iraq War.
BUT BOLTON STILL BELIEVES IT WAS A GOOD IDEA.
Yes, not only delusional but just plain stupid in the dangerous way.
And Trump has appointed him his National Security Advisor.
AND THEN THERE’S GINA!
Trump has appointed her the new Director of the CIA.
She not only condones torture but oversaw a black-site in Thailand for the purpose of torturing prisoners.
And on top of BEING A WAR CRIMINAL for that she also prepared the cable granting permission to destroy tapes with an industrial shredder of the interrogation sessions of terror detainees.
This was done after the CIA had been instructed NOT TO destroy the tapes.
The direction to prepare the cable granting destruction of evidence was given by Jose Rodriguez, director of the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center.
And is the classic case of “just following orders” from Gina.
SO HERE WE COME AROUND AGAIN ……… WAR HAS TO HAPPEN!
And it will.
Which leads us to THE NEXT FALSE FLAG EVENT.
It is necessary to galvanize the American Public into supporting a war or wars they really don’t want.
Wouldn’t it be fun if Tubularsock was WRONG?
Sadly, he’s not. You’ll see.
