President Trump; Leaks and Security about the Middle East

President Trump's disclosure on intell about an ISIS op has created a firestorm of misguided criticism toward the President as hyperbolic propagandists are bent to perp. Russia can be something of a trustworthy ally themselves in the matter of stopping the ISIS advance. A shoot, bag and tag policy has continued from the Obama administration toward the savage Islamic predators, so getting some trust going with Russians following the giving of hate by the Obama administration and press seems reasonable.


Letting the Russians see the big board is risky of course as was noted in Dr. Strangelove. Factually I am more concerned about the concentration of wealth sending the vast majority of income the U.S.A. produces to just 1% of the people. Oligarchy is developing and should be a done deal with inherited wealth running receiving 4-5% return on their vast capital networks as economic growth is just 2-3 %. Americans are in the dark about that; complacent and dumbed-down and quite unlike the founders.


The Congress and media are lackeys of the 1% and supporters of tax cuts for the rich. They are people that like the patriotic returns from cold war style rhetoric. What is worse, the Middle East is really a baloney political place. As President Trump works for peace most sides work against the middle and flip flop so many unreasoned opinions too. While they are certain they hate Russia and would like it to be made part of the global oligarchy by default, Israel wants Assad assassinated and I suppose a Wahhabist Sunni government unifying the regional oligarchy as a piece of the global plutocracy.

Recently a crematorium for allegedly disposing of bodies of mass executions was reported to exist in Syria. It reminds me of that story of thousands of bodies being found at a Mississippi lunatic asylum (no not the media center of Mississippi). Even if Syria in the Assad era is rough; it cannot just go away to let more religious democide occur with Sunni driving out or killing Christians and Shia. Adult supervisors will need to point out to the media and the 1% that Sunni fundamentalists don’t get along with other religions, and sectarian segregation is necessary in the long run and that goes double for Jews.

For stability to grow alternatively, the Assad government must control its own geographic region along side semi-autonomous Kurds, Israel, an expanded Jordan, Iraq and Iran. The repressive states of affairs in Middle-East Sunni nations will need to evolve through technological liberation without violent revolution or some sort of radical regressive Sunni dictatorship of conservatives would follow. In the meanwhile Brits will seek a younger Elton John clone to corrupt heterosexual marriage norms in that part of the world I would guess. Not a lot of basis for optimism today.

Capitalism is More Natural Than Socialism

 Capitalism is probably more natural than socialism although economically challenged people are probably happy enough if either works reason...
