Remaking the World in the Neoconservative Image

New York Post star columnist Benny Avni has raised alarms that President Trump may be getting too friendly with President Xi of China. This could cause serious international complication if it prevents us from limiting Chinese influence in the world: “A domineering China is bad for America and for the world, as it presents a dictatorial model of governance aiming to compete with Western democracy.”

THE WAR-HUNGRY NEOCON CROWD JUST KEEPS REPEATING THE SAME DISCREDITED DIRTY TRICK

The moment Donald Trump became president-elect, the political and governmental establishments of the United States, in particular the intelligence agencies, commenced nonstop efforts to stall, co-opt and dilute the policies on which Trump ran, and was ultimately elected.

The Neocons' Real Plan For Syria Emerges From The Lack Of Rubble

I told you over the weekend that Trump’s presidency was over.  As a practical matter it is.  His yielding to his ‘advisors’ on every foreign policy issue makes it clear that he can’t or won’t stand up to the relentless pressure to do what his instincts tell him.

This morning’s article at the Deep State Washington Post paints a very clear picture of what the situation is.  The advisors whose loyalties are dubious run the show.  Their thinking has not evolved one whit from previous administrations.

Remember what Russian President Vladimir Putin always says, “Presidents change. Policies do not.”

John Bolton: Trump’s volatile neocon surrogate in the White House

John Bolton, Donald Trump’s choice to be the US National Security Adviser, has long been a surrogate for former Vice President Dick Cheney. In almost every sense, Bolton mirrors the war-hawk policies advocated by Cheney before, during, and after his stint as George W. Bush’s vice president.

The Neocons Started WW III and Russia Didn’t Even Blink

Statement by the Ambassador of Russia to the USA Anatoly Antonov on the strikes on Syria

The worst apprehensions have come true. Our warnings have been left unheard.  

A pre-designed scenario is being implemented. Again, we are being threatened. We warned that such actions will not be left without consequences.

All responsibility for them rests with Washington, London and Paris.

Insulting the President of Russia is unacceptable and inadmissible.

The U.S. – the possessor of the biggest arsenal of chemical weapons – has no moral right to blame other countries.

Neocon Zionist Cabal Has Hijacked The US Government—AGAIN!

The deeper we get into April, the more apparent that a Mideast war has been planned by the Neocon Zionist warmongers. Neocon Warmongers Determined To Plunge The World Into War

Every single major world event has been staged during March Madness, as well as “April Aggression” month, to push the United States inexorably into a war with Syria. See the following report for critical background info as well as the relevant history.

Globalists and Neocons Demand Syria War; Trump Considers Options

As establishment neoconservatives, liberals, and globalists all demand deeper U.S. involvement in Syria's establishment-fueled civil war, much of President Donald Trump's base continues to advocate a total withdrawal of U.S. military forces from the region. Meanwhile, Trump said he is considering all options for how to deal with Syria after the reported chemical weapons attack. But first, the president suggested he wanted to know what happened in the highly suspicious attack, which came not long after Trump suggested that American troops in Syria would soon be coming home.

NEOCON SENATOR GRAHAM DEMANDS TRUMP TAKE OUT ASSAD

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has called on President Donald Trump to “take out” Syrian President Bashar Assad and his inner circle, calling them “legitimate military targets” following a chemical weapons attack in the city of Douma.

False Flag Chemical Attack In Douma Staged So Neocons Can Justify Invasion Of Syria

SOTN recently posted a wide-ranging and penetrating exposé on the unfolding events in Syria under the title:  The Neocon Zionist Plan for an Apocalyptic War in the Mideast

That article predicted a series of false flag attacks to be staged this April and beyond in the Northern Levant.  The explicit purpose of these war crimes is to fabricate a pretext for NATO, especially the US, Israeli and French militaries, to invade Syria.  However, Russia will clearly not tolerate such an unlawful and unprovoked war of aggression. Moscow calls ‘chemical attack’ in Douma ‘fake news,’ warns against Syrian intervention

The Neocon Zionist Plan for an Apocalyptic War in the Mideast

“This year’s extraordinary March Madness was engineered by NATO’s Operation Gladio to trigger yet another unprovoked war of aggression in the Middle East.  2018 has already seen a cascade of fabricated and provocative events that point to the New World Order globalists.  The same perps are planning more false flag terrorist attacks for this April and beyond.  These strategic acts of state-sponsored terrorism are being carried out by the leadership of the Zio-Anglo-American Axis in order to initiate the hot phase of World War 3.  There is both a script and a schedule being strictly followed by this criminal cabal of Neocon Zionists.  Each terror operation is always followed by a highly organized cover-up coordinated by the US, UK and Israeli intelligence communities, participating NATO militaries, Western mainstream media, major social network utilities, federal and local law enforcement agencies, as well as transnational corporate entities such as SERCO.  These same co-conspirators also conduct stunningly sophisticated psyops before, during and after these black ops known variously as Operations Gladio A, B and C depending on their purpose and location.

John Bolton Appointment Divides Conservatives

While many conservatives applauded the replacement of thoroughly discredited deep state denizen National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster with former UN Ambassador John Bolton, the choice was not met with unanimous applause.

Our friend Daniel Larison of the American Conservative was especially tough on Ambassador Bolton, calling him “the opposite of an honest broker,” drawing heavily upon the negative impression Bolton left on past associates.

Even Bill Kristol Is Worried About Bolton

Bill Kristol was not altogether pleased with with last week’s announcement of the appointment of John Bolton as Donald Trump’s next national security advisor. Indeed, Kristol, who remains probably the single most influential figure in the increasingly fractious neoconservative movement, expressed some serious discomfort about the appointment in a Weekly Standard Interview with Charlie Sykes last Friday.

Meet Neocon John Bolton, the Most Hawkish National Security Adviser Imaginable

Neocon Takeover of Washington Completed

Pompeo at State and Bolton as Trump’s national security advisor completed the neocon takeover of Trump’s geopolitical agenda – Wall Street running domestic affairs.

The combination represents a major setback for world peace and stability, greater aggression likely, along with the triumph of neoliberal harshness over social justice – a dismal and frightening state of affairs.

Dems Kept Cheerleading Bush-Era Neocons – Now There’s One In The White House

Dems are criticizing Trump’s National Security Advisor pick, not because he’s a warmonger who was one of the original members of the Project for a New American Century, but because he’s allegedly too soft on Russia, Caitlin Johnstone explains.

As so many of us have been dreading, PNAC’s favorite bloodthirsty child killer John Bolton has been added to the Trump administration. And as many half-jokingly predicted, Democrats seized on this opportunity to accuse Bolton of being a Kremlin agent.

THEY GOT HIM: TRUMP REPLACES MCMASTER WITH NEOCON SCUM JOHN BOLTON

Bolton was part of a neocon cabal, spearheaded by the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), founded by Bill Kristol, whose lineage is Trotskyite through and through. His Father, Irving, and men like Albert Wohlstetter and Zbig Brzezinski had an idea that America should export democracy throughout the world, just like Trotsky wanted to export communism. Bill organized a group in 1997, led by Robert Kagan, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Elliot Abrams, Bruce Jackson, and John Bolton — just to name a few.

‘Never Trump’ Ralph Peters Was Shamed By Tucker Carlson Before Quitting

“I would hate to go back and read your columns assuring America that taking out Saddam Hussein will make the region calmer, more peaceful, and America safer, when in fact it has been the opposite and it has empowered Russia and Iran, the two countries you say you fear most — let’s be totally honest, we don’t always know the outcomes,” Carlson said. “They are not entirely protectable so maybe we should lower that a little bit rather than calling people accommodationist.”

Despite the mainstream media spin, it appears that another disgraced neocon is taking his ball and going home after humiliating himself completely. The swamp is being drained, even at FOX News, due to the Trump effect.

Tillerson Out, Neocons In!

Rand Paul Battles The Rise Of Neocons Within The Trump Administration

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) emerged as one of President Donald Trump’s top confidants in 2017 as they worked together on health care, tax reform and other key issues. Paul is trying to get the ear of Trump yet again as he tries to stop him from appointing neocons into key posts of his administration.

Paul is leading the way to oppose Trump’s picks for CIA Director and Secretary of State. Trump has tapped Mike Pompeo for Secretary of State, who Paul believes is a departure to George W. Bush-era foreign policy.

Bush Is Gone, but the Neocons Are Back

Once upon a time there were hopes that Donald Trump as president might pursue a different kind of American foreign policy; call it non-interventionist, or isolationist, or transactional.

He certainly broke with conventional Washington discourse. When the foreign policy establishment of Washington almost unanimously urged President Obama in September 2013 to punish the Syrian government for a chemical gas attack, Trump tweeted, “Do not attack Syria” three times in two days.

REVENGE OF THE NEOCONS

President Donald Trump’s cabinet is starting to look more and more like a Bush-Cheney war room.

The irony is thick, considering candidate Trump’s promises to “drain the swamp,” his claimed opposition to foreign intervention, and his apparent antagonism to the Bush dynasty in the lead up to election day.

Sen. Rand Paul: Why I can't support neocons Pompeo at State, Haspel at CIA and Bolton as NSA

The neocons have been so completely and regularly wrong for decades now that it’s almost unimaginable to believe they would ever be in a position to advise a president again – let alone to wield the kind of power they will have if they lead some of our nation’s most powerful institutions.

Yet the past week has brought such a resurgence of this failed ideology that you would be forgiven for thinking we had time-traveled back to 2003.

Return of the Neo-Cons: Mike Pompeo and the Death of Diplomacy

Secretary Tillerson was far from an ideal choice, but his anointed successor at the State Department – Mike Pompeo – may ditch diplomacy all together and start a war!

We both attended West Point. That’s where the commonalities end. I’ve been a soldier opposed to (endless) war; he’ll be a statesman opposed to peace. That should give us cause for pause.

Rand Paul: Why Is Trump Nominating Neocons Instead Of America Firsters?

If Paul’s unhappy now, just wait until Trump picks John Bolton to replace H.R. McMaster. We’ll have Paul muttering about neocons in his sleep, if he’s not already. Anyway, Paul committed himself to obstruction on both nominees, but so far hasn’t used the F-word:

CIA Director Pompeo Replacing Tillerson at the State Department. Shakeup at the CIA. Hawkish Neocons in Charge of “US Foreign Policy”

Pompeo is a neocon hawk, fully supporting Washington’s imperial agenda, its permanent war on humanity – beliefs incompatible with diplomacy.

Appointing him chief Trump administration diplomat is a giant step in the wrong direction.

He’s militantly anti-Russia, anti-Iran, anti-North Korea, anti-other sovereign independent governments, anti-world peace and stability.

Africa is the Next Major Battleground for the Neoconservative War Machine

AFRICOM was created during the George W. Bush administration, an administration that was completely stacked with neoconservative actors. One of the key meetings that helped bring AFRICOM into reality was convened by then Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, in 2006. As Stephanie Hanson wrote in a 2007 article on AFRICOM for the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR):

The National Endowment for (Meddling in) Democracy

“They’re meddling in our politics!” That’s the war cry of outraged Clintonites and neocons, who seem to think election interference is something that Russians do to us and we never, ever do to them.

North Korea Breakthrough? Don’t Tell the Neocons!

While North and South Korea are making incredible progress toward de-escalation of tensions – with a successful high-level meeting recently in the North – the neocons are still calling on the US to launch a “preventative” strike on Pyongyang. They do not even seem deterred by North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un’s suggestion that ending his nuclear program is on the table. Will President Trump green light direct negotiations or will the neocons win out (again)? Tune in to today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:

US Destabilization Plan for Iran and the Middle East, and the Need to Strengthen the Resistance

In the previous section (1), I examined the US agenda of global domination (2) under the direct influence of the Neo-Conservative “Project for the New American Century” (3).  In this section, the question will be further investigated in the framework of another Neocon project, the “Greater Middle East Initiative” (4). The initiative which is claimed to promote ‘democracy and human rights’(5) in the region, was part of President Bush’s “forward strategy of freedom,” by which the US-led expansion of political rights and political participation in the Muslim world is imputed to combat the appeal of Islamist extremism.

The Council on Foreign Relations’ Push Towards a New Cold War

WASHINGTON — If you are even a casual consumer of Western media then you know the current top threat to U.S. security according to corporate journalists is Russian aggression.

According to neoconservative politicians such as Arizona Senator John McCain, the Russian interference in last year’s election — which has so far only been shown to be a series of fairly banal Facebook ads that essentially just highlighted the organic chaos of the 2016 campaign — amounts to an “act of war.”
