The disgust & nausea felt by this lady on the recent DNC
show
is the felling of millions of American citizens. Da asco lo
ocurrido
….
[Few words
have been adjusted to its content.]
….
“The visions of all the dead children in Syria that
Hillary Clinton helped to kill; the children bombed to bits in
Afghanistan and Pakistan from Obama’s drones, the grisly chaos of Libya, the utter wasteland of Iraq, the death
and destruction everywhere caused by American military intervention. The
Ukraine, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Chile, you name it — their countries
has bombed or destroyed its civilian life in some basic way.
“When I heard all the Americans cheering for the military and
the pronouncements of might coming from the speakers in the Wells Fargo Centre,
I loathed you. I loathed every single one of you. I knew in my gut that
what I was taught as a child was true, which is that YOU are the enemy. YOU are
the country to be feared. YOU are the country to be disgusted by. YOU are
ignorant. And your greed and self-satisfaction and unearned pride knows no
bounds.
“I am not an American tonight. I reject my Puritan ancestors who landed in this country in 1648. I reject the words I voiced at my citizenship ceremony. I reject every moment of thrilling discovery I ever had in this country.
“And there you all are tonight, glued to your TVs and
your computers, your hearts swelled with pride because you belong to the
strongest country on Earth, cheering on your murderer
potential President. Ignorant of the entire world’s repulsion.
She kill and you kill and she kill, and you still remain
proud.
We are fools.

Ours is an Age of Fracture (the 2011 book by Daniel Rodgers) in
which “earlier notions of history and society that stressed solidity,
collective institutions, and social circumstances gave way to a more
individualized human nature that emphasized choice, agency, performance, and
desire.”
A society that is fragmenting into cultural groups that
are themselves fracturing into smaller units of temporary and highly contingent solidarity is ideal for Elites bent on maintaining
political and financial control.
If we set aside the authentic desire of individuals for
equal rights and cultural liberation and examine the political and financial
ramifications of social fragmentation, we come face to face with Christopher
Lasch’s insightful analysis on The
Revolt of the Elites and the Betrayal of Democracy (1996 book).
“The new elites,
the professional classes in particular, regard the masses with mingled scorn
and apprehension…. Middle Americans, as they appear to the makers of educated
opinion, are hopelessly shabby, unfashionable, and provincial, ill informed
about changes in taste or intellectual trends, addicted to trashy novels of
romance and adventure, and stupefied by prolonged exposure to television. They
are at once absurd and vaguely menacing.”

From www.zerohedge.com
Obama’s ‘mono-polar world’ is a fiction, and the sooner
that he and his Big Lie can be exposed (by the Western press, to the Western
publics), the safer everyone will be. Discomforts on the parts of those who
have promulgated and propagandized that lie will be vastly less than the
disastrous alternative, which would destroy the world for everyone.
A 13-point lead for Hillary Clinton on July 14 has
vanished in two weeks with Donald
Trump now leading in the polls by 1 point. This is clearly unacceptable to the
establishment and so
Reuters/Ipsos is taking matters into its own hands... and 'tweaking' its polling methodology.

Hillary and the
federal government are determined to ensure a "fair" and "open" election this November and
will stop at nothing to reverse discrimination against "oppressed"
segments of the American electorate, well
at least if you live in a swing state.

...But she will.

There is something very, very
wrong going on and it is time that everyone – regardless of ideology, party
affiliation or politics – needs to face up to. Preliminary evidence
indicates strongly that there has been a very carefully orchestrated coup taking
place… and if successful, it will have only one logical conclusion: Total power, at any price, with a
facade of support and momentum that just isn’t there from anyone other than a
handful of elite billionaires, and a cadre of clients with addresses that are
either foreign or based on Wall Street.

"To be
blessed with a hopeful, optimistic outlook is surely a fine piece of luck. But
such an outlook is not a good
substitute for a broad, well-informed appreciation of what is at stake
in the struggle between the state and those who prefer a less fraudulent and
destructive and more peaceful and cooperative arrangement for the production of
law and order."

Another 508 people renounced their US citizenship last
quarter according to documents
published this morning by the Internal Revenue Service. This brings the total number of US ‘renunciants’ under the Obama
administration to 17,359.

This week, the headlines have been dominated by the
Democratic National Convention pushing Janet Yellen’s latest FOMC
non-action to 'page 6'. "Global
instability is now the perma-excuse for the Fed.”
The only question will be where
that instability pops up next?
Here is what I will
be reading this weekend.

China and Russia will
hold "routine" naval exercises in the South China Sea in September,
China's Defence Ministry said on Thursday, adding that the drills were aimed at
strengthening their cooperation. "This
is a routine exercise between the two armed forces, aimed at strengthening the
developing China-Russia strategic cooperative partnership," China's
defense ministry said. It then added "The exercise is not directed against third parties", while
trying to hold back laughter.

The purpose behind
this rebranding of al-Nusra Front seems to be to legitimize itself and make it
easier for its patrons to send money and arms. The US blacklisted al-Nusra
Front in December 2012 and pressurized Saudi Arabia and Turkey to ban it too.
Though, al-Nusra Front’s name has been in the list of proscribed organizations
of Saudi Arabia and Turkey since 2014, but it kept receiving money and arms
from Saudi Arabia.

The “doomsday” clock is ticking.
What to do? Seemingly,
three initial steps are badly needed...
…
I do not believe that the Cold War is over despite the Paris Charter
for a New Europe heralded that in 1990. The Cold War has entered a new phase – qualitatively
more dangerous that its first phase. Cold War 2.0 is characterized by a vast military build-up of NATO near
the Russian borders, and a complete stalemate in arms control: currently there
are 15 unresolved issues in this domain between the USA and Russia.
In the first stage of Cold War Moscow and Washington signed 7 nuclear arms
control accords, CWC
and BWC, CFE-1 and CFE-1A treaties, a number of CBM arrangements. Since 2010 nothing has been done in this
sphere.
So, it is incorrect to state that “the leaders of the Russia
and the United States did not make any
effort to slow nuclear competition; they did just the
opposite.” .. President Barack Obama failed to ratify the CTBT (1996), though he has promised to do it during his
presidency.
Recently, in the framework of
NATO the debates on the further strengthening of this largest military bloc
reliance on nuclear weapons have intensified. The
talk is about expanding the geographic scope and the total number of military
exercises conducted with simulated use of bombs equipped with mock nuclear
warheads, carrying military computer games on the use of nuclear weapons on the
European continent, as well as the development of special scenarios on transformation
of hypothetical conflict involving the general conventional forces into the
conflicts with the use of nuclear weapons.
WHAT TO DO? Three initial steps are badly needed...
First. To make a pledge of no-fist-use of nuclear weapons a
universal norm, starting from the USA and Russia. As a preliminary step towards
this goal to make a commitment to resort to a defensive unconditional nuclear
deterrence that threatens no one. Such notion will require no costs.
Second. The USA should withdraw all its TNW from
Europe and the Asian part of Turkey.
Third. A
multilateral new ABM Treaty limiting the number of BMD interceptors and their
geographical deployments has to be elaborated.
The next U.S. Administration has
to seriously consider these steps.
