Gen. John F. Kelly, Trumps new White House chief of staff was not rabidly anti-Russian as head of DHS (Kelly an old school tough tight lipped Bostonian Irishmen may offer some new hope as the alpha male of Trumps WH Staff?)
Kelly: ‘Any channel of communication’ with Russia ‘a good thing’
Gen. John F. Kelly, the retired four-star Marine general sworn in Monday as White House chief of staff, has new orders from the commander-in-chief: Instill discipline in a White House plagued by leaks and infighting.
Kelly, an Irish Catholic, had a brief stint as secretary of Homeland Security. Before he headed DHS, he had recently ended a long and distinguished career in the military.
Last February, he retired after serving four decades in the Marines. His last post was as head of the U.S. Southern Command, which oversees Latin America and the Caribbean.
“I have been fortunate to have served my country for more than 45 years – first as a Marine and then as the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security,” Kelly said in a statement Friday. “I am honored to be asked to serve as the chief of staff to the president of the United States.”
In a tweet late Friday, Trump tweeted that Kelly “has been a true star of my administration.”
“He is a great American and a great leader,” Trump said.
I am pleased to inform you that I have just named General/Secretary John F Kelly as White House Chief of Staff. He is a Great American….
…and a Great Leader. John has also done a spectacular job at Homeland Security. He has been a true star of my Administration
Kelly, who vehemently defended Trump’s travel ban, has grown close with the president the past few months.
The Washington Post said Trump is “drawn to the discipline that Kelly and his other advisers who are former military officers bring to their roles.”
He is also allegedly close to both White House chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon, and liked by Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. He’s described as low-key and a good collaborator.
His selection Friday was greeted with praise on Capitol Hill.
“Secretary Kelly is one of the strongest and most natural leaders I’ve ever known,” said South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham, who has sparred with the president in the past. “As a Marine Corps officer, he instilled loyalty, respect and admiration from all who served under him.”
Speaking to reporters, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders cited Kelly’s role at the Department of Homeland Security in working to reduce illegal immigration.
“He has helped seal the border and reduced illegal immigration by 70 percent,” Sanders said. “He is respected by everyone, especially the people at the Department of Homeland Security.”
A profile in the Boston Globe when he was chosen by Trump to head DHS mentioned a powerful speech he delivered in Massachusetts honoring service members in the state killed since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
He spoke to the crowd but never mentioned that his own son was killed in Afghanistan three weeks prior.
“He was probably torn up inside,” Chris Lessard, a Newton firefighter and Marine veteran, told the Globe. “That was my first impression of General John Kelly. Could you find a classier person? He’s a great man.”

The “Movement” has failed while Trump succeeds
By Staś
Many in the truth movement believe it is all over. Trump fired General Flynn in error and it’s all over, or ‘Trump was a puppet of the Jewish power to begin with’.
Well I miss General Flynn also. Yet Trump continues. (His son tweeted about Pizzagate let him go.)
Deal maker Trump makes a mistake and then he moves on.
Many prominent figures in the so-called ‘alternative media’ (alternative to what, we should ask?) have turned on Trump. They have surrendered. They are convinced he is a sell out or a puppet being marionetted by his Jewish son in law.
On the flip side many very pro-Israel Trump fans have remained (or make the appearances thereof) firmly affixed to the Trump train, despite his making the same kinds of noises that ended the life of JFK and the livelihoods of other presidents such as Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush and in one case–that of Bill Clinton–resulted in an impeachment, those noises of course being the 2 words that can never be spoken by any elected official in the US –’Palestinian State’.
Co-opting the “Trump Train? I think so.
Social media sites revel in the fact that many who are very pro-Israel and very anti-Muslim remain alleged strong supports of Trump. It’s as if they want Trump to eliminate the ‘Muslim enemy’. Notice that many are not careful to neither isolate their rage nor focus it against only ISIS.
Among them popular porn stars Brandi Love and Jenna Jameson have made their pro-Trump and pro-Israel views known.
There are a lot of pro-Trump ‘alternative’ media pundits that focus on more or less all-out war with the Muslim world, among them Paul Joseph Watson of Alex Jones’ Infowars and Stefan Molyneux.
They discuss a lot of interesting topics and confront “Social Marxism” and other important issues but seem to skillfully guide their fan base into supporting Israel’s ‘Clash of civilizations’ pitting the Christian West and Islamic East–together making up half the world’s populations–against each other in perpetual conflict.
Trump a populist had expressed wishes for better relations with Russia. The powerful “CIA controlled’ media blocked Trump. Instead of supporting the Commander in Chief to whom is owed their allegiance, instead, the US intelligence agencies singing in perfect harmony with the same ‘alternative’ media who have made their mistrust of the various intelligence organs acting as support columns for the ‘New World Order’, turned on him.
Without any substantive supporting evidence to make their case, Trump has been called an “Israeli Puppet“ by many prominent figures in the ‘alternative’ media.
The truth is however that the degree to which exists the blacklash against organized Jewish power by Gentiledom is unknown, as honest and accurate polls measuring Gentile discontent with Judaic rule of the western world do not exist.
But it is clear however, despite the absence of any polls, that discontent worldwide continues to grow. Everyday the BDS movement continues to gain momentum and a Gentile world that is feeling the toxic effects of Judaic overdose continues dry heaving in trying to put as much distance between itself and the political/spiritual/social/religious irritant that has been the cause of so much discomfort for thousands of years.
However, because of the Jewish American ‘entertainment complex’, many people are still very Judaized in their thoughts, words, and actions. They love they culture and politics created by Jewish Hollywood. Many mold their view of the ‘Trump Revolution’ to fit this.
And yet it is clear that some know ‘the score’. So people on the Trump train–albeit unseen and unheard–know that the term ‘Illuminati’ that fairs so prominently in so many neighborhoods within the alternative’ media means something else and as such can’t speak openly about it.
In addition, the establishment media in the Western World is completely controlled by wealthy Jews, and as such, the public either buys into the negative press about Trump and Putin or is forced–oftentimes beyond their own capabilities–to read between the lines.
Some in the west are bold enough or interested enough to investigate further and they seek and find the so called alternative media.
Incredibly some in the alternative media (or the even bolder ‘anti-Jewish’ media say Trump and even Putin are ‘sell-outs’ or else “controlled by Jews’.
I say the opposite is true. Because of Jewish Imperial overreach much of the world is starting to rebel. Short of this, they have become slaves but are so damaged by having lived under Judaic rule for so long and with such over-exposure that they are not fit enough to fight Jewish Power. That is an angle of this battle that has seldom been addressed.
I do not buy into the myth of Trump as ‘a puppet’. Rather, I see him as a living, breathing nightmare for the ‘real NWO’, or at least for part of it.
I view this as Deep State vs. Deep State.
If Trump is an ‘Israeli Puppet’ then why the need to continue an all-out assault on him from both political parties?
If Trump was a 100% an ‘agent for Jewish power,’ they would have by now picked a “useful identity’ for him and run him in place at some and used him for their intended purposes.
Instead, Trump is all over the place on many issues. He has his enemy on the run at times. For instance ‘Russiagate’ is not working. They cannot make it stick, and so now, the gear-change is ‘Trump is insane’.
When and if he fully caves to Jewish power we will know, because it will be war. I have faith that he will hold on and win.
In the case of JFK who is now being attacked carefully by the media, they are chipping away, bit by bit, at the legacy of one of America’s finest Presidents. It is now quite open the JFK and his father were quite ‘anti-semitic’.
Michael Collins Piper in his groundbreaking book ‘Final Judgment’ made it all too clear that John F. Kennedy had become embroiled in a bitter, behind-the-scenes battle with Israel. In fact, Kennedy was at war with Judea, Inc.
JFK is a good example of demonstrating the complex relationship gentiles have when trying to become President, trying to remain president while being forced to deal with the State of Israel that seeks to take over and/or destroy every nation on earth.
Do not forget how complex this gets.
Michael Collins Piper writes in Final Judgement of JFK’s powerful father Joseph P. Kennedy having an astounding conversation with the anti-Jewish activist Dewest Hooker–
‘Kennedy said, ‘I’ve done everything I can to fight the Jewish power over this country. I tried to stop World War II, but I failed. I’ve made all the money I need and now I’m passing everything I’ve learned on to my sons.” “I don’t go with the ‘loser’,” Kennedy told me. ‘I’ve joined the `winners.’ I’m going to work with the Jews. I’m teaching my boys the whole score and they’re going to work with the Jews. I’m going to make Jack the first Irish Catholic President of the United States and if it means working with the Jews, so be it.’
Later JFK and RFK would go after the Mafia and the Jewish power with everything they had.
Trump of course has had to publicly declare his love of Israel and will continue to do so out in the open. His true feelings are unknown. Let his actions speak for him.
Trump takes a lot of thinly veiled shots at the very left and very Jewish controlled media on Twitter.
Trump has not gotten rid of ISIS yet but he has not protected them as Obama had.
Trump had the FBI bust the Mossad operative that was calling in endless terror threats.
Trump continues to hound the Israelis with talk of a ‘2 state solution’ and peace in the ME. On July 6th 2017 Trump recognized the contribution and suffering of Polish Gentiles during WWII. Most world leaders bow before the establish Jewish American view of Polish WWII history. This was huge.
Trump has been hounded by the DNC and much of the RNC and the media regarding ‘Russian election meddling’.
Election meddling by Russia has joined the phrase ‘Russia annexed the Crimea’ and has been drummed into the minds of the western Gentile world.
Yet they can’t make it stick. In fact Trump has quietly fired back by remaining steadfast with his Middle East Peace plan.
Trump is more of an Alpha male type and as such makes Bibi Netanyahu uneasy. Trump refuses to bow, bend and kiss to Bibi the way other Presidents have.
Putin has also taken the alpha position away from Bibi away as well.
On June 28th 2017 Congressman Schiff, Jewish DNC member openly said he is calling for the impeachment of Trump.
It is true Trump could fold at any time because the system is too powerful. But he has half of the USA with him. And a lot of the rank and file cops and military are with him as well.
I think we will discover more and more why ‘the system’ pulled out all the stops in an attempt to stop Trump.
Trump is what they accuse him of being in some respects. He is a ‘reality TV star’ and media expert. No one is better qualified to lead such a ‘Jerry Springer’ nation then ‘the Donald’.
Trump’s relationship with the Jews is perhaps even more complex than was JFK’s. I notice the conspiracy people are very focused on the very Jewish Jared Kushner as well as Ivanka Trump.
The first daughter’s relationship with the Jews is complex. I am not so sure she enjoys being shouted out by gay Jews on a Jet Blue flight. I also doubt she is not aware that the Jews refer to her as a ‘shiksa’.
Wikipedia states:
The etymology of the word shiksa is partly derived from the Hebrew term שקץ shekets, meaning “abomination”, “impure,” or “object of loathing”, depending on the translator
The Kushner family themselves look to be in a bit of trouble. The 666 Satan building has allegedly been a financial disaster for them. The father has done a bit of jail time. They are a high risk taking Jewish counterpart of the Trumps..
“Kush and Ivanka are rumored to have had their relationship created and then saved by the ex-wife of Rupport Murdock Wendi Deng.
‘Wendi Deng intervened when Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner Broke Up in 2008. … Wendi Deng was responsible for getting Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner back together following the now-married couple’s brief split in 2008. … After Trump and Kushner broke up over their ‘religious differences’.
Wendi Deng is a friend of Putin. Yes this is House of Cards. What does this prove? Only that life is stranger than fiction.
Ivanka, like her father, is capable of high level of PR deception even as skilled as the Jews themselves. She is worshiped as a goddess by young women in China.
The fact that Ivanka ‘s husband is a de-facto agent of the Jews is known. However, I fail to see how Trump is working under the Kushner family at all.
Who is playing whom? This is not as clear as some would claim.
The Kushner camp is trouble no doubt. In some complex ways they are of use to the Trumps. The complex relationship between the two camps is not an easy thing to decode/de-construct.
They may be the undoing of Trump. However Trump makes use of Jared as well. Stay tuned.
I see their union as part of New York business life. I even see some advantage to Jared. He is a traitor and a spy for sure. However, Trump can dispatch him to deal with the Jews and know that it will lead nowhere.
See ‘The Art of the Deal’. Trump knew enough not to do business with both Michael Milkin and Ivan Boesky, men who did some time for stock market related fraud. Yet, Trump’s Jewish stock broker made him a lot of money.
Like Sen Joseph McCarthy he became close to Jewish homosexual mob lawyer Roy Cohen.
You need contacts to play in the game.
The one historical weakness the Jews have demonstrated over time as a group is their magnetic pull towards overreach.
In a very real sense overreach of Jewish power created Trump and Putin.
This is why we as a world are so close to a nuclear war. Overreach.
Overreach in a sense created a window for Trump. Obama ruined America so badly that what is left of the WASP establishment and other dwindling American power groups went for Trump.
However ,Trump has a power base that is genuine and very nationalistic such as bikers, unemployed factory workers, ex-military, disenfranchised whites, and Alex Jones fans. All love Trump.
Also part of the Deep State is with Trump and in many ways the contest we are watching is a case of Deep State vs Deep State.
The ones that seem to dislike Trump now are the members of the ‘alternative’ media with enough sense to be ‘anti-Zionist’ but after the ‘fake Syria Strike’ have all but abandoned Trump.
Trump’s ties too are real. Some of them include men willing to profit from going against the CIA Mossad controlled government in Ukraine.
Paul Maniford for example was a big man behind the scenes in the effort to get Trump elected. Maniford’s business interest are very ‘Kremlin friendly’.
The fact that Trump works with Maniford, Roger Stone, and (behind the scenes) Patrick Buchanan means 100% that Trump is NOT on board with a world dominated by Zionist power. It means however his is tied to the Nationalist side of the so called “Deep State” that is far better than the globalist side.
Mr. Maniford is very much disliked by the now very Jewish controlled Ukraine government. His good friend is pro-Russia/pro-Putin Viktor Yanukovych
Also to say that all Jews make up the evil machinery destroying the world is wrong in the sense that some of them see where it is all heading and that it has gone too far. The saner elements within Jewry see what is at stake and have supported Sanders but also Trump.
This at least in part explains the rise of Putin. The Jews and the neocon dominated CIA decimated Russia so badly that the door opened for the rise of a nationalist such as Putin.
The ‘anti-Zionist’ ‘alternative’ media should be backing Trump, if it truly possessed the thinking and analytical skills it boasts having.
Instead he has the lunatic fringe group controlled by Alex Jones.
Trump is I assume trying to distance himself from Jones. He has the highly skilled Roger Stone handling Jones and his fan base.
One wonders if it will spin out of control and lead the ‘normal’ Trump base to clash with Jones and the ‘No one died at Sandy Hook’ crew.
The conspiracy theory people themselves are taking down Trump in some yet unforeseen way?
How sad to see that a Reagan insider as prominent as Paul Craig Roberts, a man I respect immensely for his knowledge of finance is himself a ‘Sandy Hooker’.
How far will this go? How crazy will this get?
I suspect Trump knows more than we do on this. Back his play if you can. That is what I say.
There is no real Patriot movement in the United States.
By Staś
I used to think there was some kind of Patriot movement in America. I was wrong.
On April 6th 2017 President Trump Ordered Military Strikes Against Syria in Response to a Chemical Attack. More than 50 cruise missiles were fired at a Syrian airbase.
On April 6th 2017, and more specifically, in the aftermath of that missile strike, was when I also realized yet again that there is no real Patriot movement of any kind. Not one that is unified anyway. The “Movement’, as so many of us refer to this thing we unofficially ‘joined’ at some point is all over the place.
Smart people who I respect(ed) flipped out and turned on Trump that night, proving once again there is no ‘Patriot moment’ in the ‘truth’ movement. No one is on the same page. It is just a bunch of kooks fighting on the internet.
What is thought of as the alt-Right are more or less fans of Alex Jones and Infowars. Not quite real at all.
In the non-movement it is from one extreme to the other. All the way from ‘Trump is going to drain the swamp’ to ‘both Trump and Putin are under complete control of the Jews…’
Few are able to look at “Deep Events” or politics without interjecting their own feelings into them.
Out of the hundreds (or thousands) of voices who have chimed in as self-appointed ‘experts’, only a few, and I do mean A FEW–remained consistent, while everyone else was north, south, east, and west at any given moment, given their mood (or the mood of their followers) at the moment.
Assad did not kill anyone with a chemical attack. That was fake. Trump knows that. However, Trump’s missile strike on Syria was also fake, and yet, again, only a handful of ‘experts’ recognized this as a fact while everyone else started screeching that Trump had started WWIII under Israel’s orders.
There is no real truth movement. But a lot of what is loosely called the alternative media flipped out and abandoned Trump.
Did the enemies of Trump actually know his missile strike was phony before the movement did?
I think so. The fact that the movement abandoned Trump without giving careful consideration to what happened means ‘the movement’ is driven by emotionalism, the thirst for personal attention and its own personal brand of insanity.
The movement has no cash, no base, nothing but the internet with which to vent its frustration.
This “fake missile strike” was a bold yet desperate move because the “Deep State” is all over Trump.
Yet the missile strike itself proves Trump is in a battle with “The Deep State” and not a complete pawn of it.
Furthermore, The Deep State is not all on the same page either. Some powerful forces are behind Trump, including many powerful business people, even members of the so called “Deep State” itself. Segments of the Military know it is insane to get so close to open war.
Not to mention Exxon that wants to do business with Russia. The $500 billion Exxon-Rosneft exploration deal is an oil deal between Exxon and Russia has been referred to as “the biggest oil deal ever’. Rex Tillerson is tight with Putin. I suspect Mr. Tillerson is in the Trump camp to make sure that the interests of the oil industry are maintained.
My view on this is it is better to do business with Russia then to have a nuclear war.
May 9th Trump Fired FBI Dir. James Comey. Some in the media have referred to this move as a desperate and very “Nixonian”
That is hard to say.
Trump is flexible. He is a master deal maker. They are afraid of what he can do. He will push and push for the best deal for America. The best deal he can get. Read the Art of the Deal. The Best deal for America may not be the best deal for Israel.
Also it is extremely difficult to determine what Trump says VS what the media says that Trump says and what is really happening. Very difficult to follow. I think Trump can work with this sometimes even use it to his advantage.
To say that President Trump is finished or he is completely in the pocket of the Jewish money power is an oversimplification.
Trump is a master of making deals. He also knows when to break deals.
The idea that Trump is a puppet of Jewish power is just not true. Again it is an oversimplification.
That there is a war going on in Washington? Yes. That means that Judea Inc. controls much of it, a LOT of it in fact, but not all of it.
Trump just called out one of the public faces of raw Jewish power Sen. Chuck Schumer. He refers to Schumer as ‘Cryin’ Chuck’.
It’s crystal clear that Jewish power and the liberals of the DNC are hungry for A Watergate style take-down of Trump.
The “liberal” media and the DNC want to take down Trump any way they can. They have not clearly defined how they will do it or the reason why Trump should be impeached. Just that he has ‘shadowy’ ties to Russia.
“Cryin’ Chuck Schumer stated recently, “I do not have confidence in him (James Comey) any longer.” Then acts so indignant. #draintheswamp” Trump tweeted.
Schumer and his crew will fire back at Trump big time. It was out in the open that Trump wanted better relations with Russia. The media has the power to do anything and they want to simultaneously take Trump down and make war with Russia.
I don’t think the Trump crew has much to hide. I think Trump is different than Nixon. For one thing the Russians like Trump.
As far as the theory that Trump works for the Jews. Again, that is an oversimplification Jewish Sen. Chuck Schumer openly threatened Trump with the CIA. The media outrage against Trump is not a show. They all hate the man and they want him dead.
“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.
That sounds like your threatening the president with the CIA Sen. Schumer.
I wonder if every guy in the Intel community likes being associated with vague threats like this one? Overreach? Can the Donald handle this with fake missile attacks and MOAB bombing in the desert?
I think so.
RUSSIA :The Saker 2016: the year of Russia’s triumph
2016: the year of Russia’s triumph
This column was written for the Unz Review: http://www.unz.com/tsaker/2016-the-year-of-russias-triumph/
Just like European maps place Europe in the center of the planet, so do most western commentators look at the past year from a US/Europe-centered perspective. Which is fair enough. Furthermore, the AngloZionist Empire has just suffered two major disasters, the Brexit and the election of Trump, so there is truly much interesting to focus on. Still, what I want to do today is to look at the year which is ending from a Russian perspective. The following were the major challenges Russia faced in 2016:
- The Nazi regime in Kiev
- The civil war in the Donbass
- Ukrainian attempts to blockade Crimea
- The rabid hostility of the US Administration
- NATO’s policy of military confrontation in Europe
- The united European front against Russia
- Western sanctions, the subsequent drop in investments and credit and the low oil prices
- The growing dissatisfaction of the Russian people with the economic polices of the government
- The struggle against the “liberal” 5th column inside Russia
- The international aggression against Syria
- The demonization of Russia in general and of Vladimir Putin in particular
- Terrorist attacks against Russia
Let’s take these one by one now and score them:
The Ukraine 5/5
The Nazi occupied Ukraine is in free fall. In fact, it has been in free fall for a while already, but just like somebody jumping from the 40th floor of a building is doing “okay” passing by the 20th floor, so did the Ukraine still have the possibility to say “so far so good” and look halfway credible to the superficially informed. Now, however, it is becoming rather obvious that the so-called “Revolution of dignity” (which is how the Neonazis call the coup against Yanukovich) is an abject failure and that the “Independent Ukraine” is simply beyond rescue. The ruling class which came to power now is falling apart, everybody is fighting everybody else and there is no other discernible policy left beyond personal enrichment and survival. As for the “Joan of Arch of the Ukraine” and “Hope of the Ukraine” – Nadezhda Savchenko – she is now denounced as a traitor and FSB agent. Forbes is now running an article entitled “Corruption is killing Ukraine’s economy” while a former Ukrainian lawmaker has passed recordings of Poroshenko taking bribes to the FBI. As for the Ukrainian military, which Poroshenko has recently advertised as one of the 5 best in the world, it has only mustered enough forces to send one company size infantry force supported by 2 tank platoons to attack the Novorussian positions near Debaltsevo before getting them all killed. The situation of the Ukrainian military is so bad that they are now forced to use private cars to get to the frontlines and to evacuate the wounded. Yes, on paper the Ukrainian military is huge, but in reality it is a force which has a hard time surviving even before going into battle. Last but not least, the entire Nazi ruling elite has thrown its fully political weight behind Hillary while pouring scorn and vitriol against Trump. To say that they are now screwed would be an understatement. Hence the wind of utter panic now taking over Kiev.
The Donbass 3/5
The Russian policy in the Donbass (non-occupation combined with overt and covert support) was clearly the correct one: the DNR and LNR are getting stronger while the Nazi occupied Ukraine is going down the tubes, vide supra, as they say. There have however also been clear failures and the two main ones are the Russian inability to stop the constant shelling and attacks on civilians from the Nazis and the Russian failure to establish security inside the two republics. If the first failure can be excused (there is no magic recipe to make that happen), the second one is inexcusable as seen by the murder of several key Novorussian figures. Furthermore, the situation in the Donbass remains very difficult and potentially dangerous. In the big scheme of things, Russia did very well, but as soon as you look down to the more detailed level many mistakes and failures become apparent. Still, it is now obvious to any decently informed person that time is now (and has always been, really) on the side of the Novorussians as every passing day makes them stronger and the Ukronazis weaker.
Crimea 5/5
The Urkonazis tried everything, from blockading the peninsula, to cutting off water and electricity, to sending terrorist infiltrators. This gave Russia the opportunity to “save” Crimea from the Ukraine over and over and over again. It is pretty darn clear that the Ukronazis have long given up of ever getting back Crimea and that all that is left to them are mostly ineffective ways to try to make the people of Crimea miserable thereby, of course, only strengthening their resolve. Initially there were some people in Crimea who where not quite convinced that the nightmare was really over and that Russian truly meant business (especially with all the rumors about “Putin selling out”). But now that the Russians have to put major efforts in shielding Crimea from the Ukronazi attempts at blockading it those doubts have disappeared. Crimea’s future looks extremely bright: not only is the Russian state pouring in billions of Rubles for huge infrastructural improvement and the deployment of a very large and advanced military force, but the prospects for tourism and trade are also excellent.
The United States 5/5
The credit for the election of Donald Trump goes first and foremost to the American people to whom I sincerely believe the entire planet owe a heartfelt and loud “THANK YOU!!!!!”. I will never be able to prove that and, thank God, we will never know if I was right, but up to the last minute I was convinced that there was a very strong probability that Hillary in the White House would have meant war, probably nuclear, with Russia. I am still undecided about Trump, but I view his upcoming term with cautious optimism and while I would never say never, I really very strongly feel that with Trump in the White House the risks of war with Russia have fallen to a dramatically low level and that barring some stunning provocation or disaster, a war between the USA and Russia has now become exceedingly unlikely. Glory be to God for His immense mercy towards us!
That being, said, I will dare to speculate that Russia did play a role in the election of Trump. No, not by hacking emails or by recruiting Ron Paul (!!!) as an agent of Russian propaganda, but by openly and firmly confronting the USA on all fronts and showing that Russia would not bend her knee before the AngloZionist Empire. As I have written many times, Russia has been preparing for war for years now and while Russians were (and still are) afraid of war, they are also ready and willing to fight it if forced to do so. In his latest press conference Putin specifically referred to the will of the Russian people as a key element in Russia’s ability to defeat any aggressor when he said,
We are stronger than any potential aggressor. I have no problem repeating it. I also said why we are stronger. This has to do with the effort to modernise the Russian Armed Forces, as well as the history and geography of our country, and the current state of Russian society
and he is absolutely right. Sure, Hillary was probably stupid enough to try to impose a no-fly zone over Syria, but the 200 or so generals and admirals who expressed their support for Trump probably understood what that kind of folly would entail. Furthermore, it appears that quite a few Americans are sympathetic to Russia and Putin himself. Again, in his latest press conference Putin referred to this and made some very interesting comments:
I do not take support for the Russian President among a large part of Republican voters as support for me personally, but rather see it in this case as an indication that a substantial part of the American people share similar views with us on the world’s organisation, what we ought to be doing, and the common threats and challenges we are facing. It is good that there are people who sympathise with our views on traditional values because this forms a good foundation on which to build relations between two such powerful countries as Russia and the United States, build them on the basis of our peoples’ mutual sympathy. (…) It seems to me that Reagan would be happy to see his party’s people winning everywhere, and would welcome the victory of the newly elected President so adept at catching the public mood, and who took precisely this direction and pressed onwards to the very end, even when no one except us believed he could win.
Putin puts it down to values, common values, between the Russian and the American people.
[Personal sidebar: for whatever this is worth, I regularly interact with Americans who support Putin on the grounds that “he stands for American values unlike the SOBs in Washington”].
But how did the Americans become aware of what values Putin and Russia stood for if not for the ceaseless efforts of Putin himself and the alternative media to convey these values to the general public? I think that by OPENLY denouncing the total hypocrisy of the AngloZionist Empire and by OPENLY offering a different civilizational model, Putin and Russia did have an impact on the public opinion in the West. To put it simple: Russia has scored an ideological victory over the AngloZionist imperialists. In other words, the Russian policy of standing firm against the Empire while openly challenging it on its ideological foundation was the correct one and it probably did have an impact upon the outcome of the election in the USA.
NATO 4/5
Russia has defeated NATO on two levels: a purely military one and a political one. On the military level Russia has taken all the asymmetrical measures she promised to negate both the US anti-missile system in Europe and the deployment of threatening military power in eastern Europe: Russia deployed the Iskander missile, doubled of the size of her Airborne Forces, and initiated the creation of a Tank Army in the western strategic direction (to read more about how Russia prepared to fight and defeat NATO see “How Russia is preparing for WWIII” and “The EU’s suicide by reality denial“). On the political level there can be little doubt that all the European leaders who favored confrontation with Russia are now unpopular and in a political crisis except maybe Merkel, but Germany alone can’t do anything meaningful (at least one “positive” side effect, so to speak, of the EU integration). As for the election of Trump, it has resulted in a NATO-wide panic, especially in those countries which had prostituted themselves to the Empire with special enthusiasm and zeal (Poland, the three Baltic statlets, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, and our “Orthodox brothers” in Romania and Bulgaria). I don’t see Trump dumping NATO, there would be too much opposition against that, but with Trump in the White House all the nonsense about the “Russian bear is about to invade Latvia or Poland” is going to come to a crashing end and the poor folks in eastern Europe will come to realize that neither Russia nor the USA gives a damn about them. Trump will probably put the financial squeeze on NATO and force its member states to purchase even more US gear, but that will be a purely financial operation and not an attempt at surrounding Russia will military forces. Russia’s ultimate goal, the replacement of NATO by a European-wide common defense agreement from Portugal to the Urals has not happened, but the election of Trump is a huge step in the right direction.
The EU 5/5
Poor “EUans” (my own word for the European zombies who believed in the Bilderberger’s European Union): they are now, how shall I put it politely, totally “frigged”? Not only did the British people defy the Empire and vote for a Brexit, but now the Imperial Homeland had “backstabbed” them by electing a patriot who is not interested in maintaining the global empire (or so he says, at least for the time being). At the same time, the so-called “refugee crisis” is bringing several crucial EU nations to the brink of a civil war (France for example) while all the efforts of the elites to blame Russia for it all end up in abject failures. Just check out this hilarious article in the British Sun which accuses Russia of, I kid you not, “organizing sex attacks in Germany“!! True, we already had the “Serbian Chetniks using rape as a weapon of ethnic cleansing” and “Gaddafi distributing Viagra to his soldiers to rape opposition supporters” but Putin ordering refugees to rape women in Germany is the best, so to speak. And just in case the unthinkable happens in Germany, the Germans have already warned that Russian hackers might steal the election in Germany. If this was not so utterly disgusting it would be hilarious. The bottom line is this: the entire EU project is morally completely bankrupt, each EU member state is now in a deep political crisis and the so-called “elites” are scrambling to find a response to what appears to be an inevitable collapse of the EU-order over Europe. The European militaries are a joke, all of them, and when, say, the Swedes go on “Russian sub hunting” they always end up embarrassing themselves. If there are any extra-terrestrials observing us from space, the EU is beyond any doubt their laughing stock. As for the Russians, far from fearing the Europeans, they don’t even take them very seriously and they look at them with either pity or scorn for their apparently infinite lack of spine and dignity. Of sure, as soon as mentally sane leaders return to power in the various EU countries Russia will be more than happy to trade with the EU, send and receive tourists and generally have friendly relations. But after over three centuries of trying to sheepishly imitate the Europeans and be accepted as European themselves, the Russian have finally lost all interest in emulating Europe, at least in a cultural or political way. Of course, the Russians will still love German cars, French wines or Italian music, but the myth of the European cultural superiority has truly died. Good riddance!
The Russian economy 3/5
The main external factors influencing the Russian economy have been Western sanctions, the subsequent drop in investments and credit and, especially, the low oil prices. Almost exactly as Putin had predicted it, it took Russia two years to overcome the combined effect of these factors, so says not me or a Kremlin spokesman, but the IMF (see here). What matters here is not this or that figure for GDP or inflation, but the fact that all the key indicators for the Russian economy point to a gradual recovery and good prospects for growth. I personally think that the policies of the “economic block” of the Medvedev government made the effects of this crisis even worse than they had to be, but I have to admit that despite the major mistakes committed by the Russian government the Russian economy is recovering. If I had to score the performance of the Russian government’s policies I would have given it a maximum of 2/5, but since what I am looking at is the state of the economy I have to give it an objective 3/5. I just think that a 5/5 would have been possible. One small point here: some have made a great deal of noise around the planned reduction in Russian defense spending but what they are missing is that reduction has been made possible by the spending over the past couple of years and that the Russian defense program by 2020 has not been in any way amended, nevermind reduced. In other words, the Russian military can afford to use less money for a couple of years and there will be no cuts in defense programs as planned by 2020.
The Russian public opinion 4/5
In spite of the still strong grip the “IMF-types” in the Russian government have over the key economic decisions in Russia there are some signs that things are getting better and that the Russian public is getting some of the heads it wanted to see rolling: here I am, of course, referring to the arrest of the Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Alexei Uliukaev. Of course, the list of candidates for termination and arrest is much longer (see here) but Uliukaev was definitely one of the most influential and toxic member of the Atlantic Integrationists and the hysterical reaction of the Russian liberal press clearly shows how painful this arrest is for the Russian 5th column. As for right now, the arrest of Uliukaev has not been followed by more sackings or arrests, but it is quite possible that Putin did with Uliukaev what he already one did with Berezovsky: hit at the one “big guy” and therefore force the rest of his gang to play ball and give up any hopes of confronting him. Only time will tell if sacking and arresting Uliukaev will be enough to finally re-sovereignize Russia, but it sure is a very good beginning.
Russian russophobes 4/5
Sounds weird, does it not? “Russian russophobes”. Reminds me of the “self-hating Jew” category. And yet they exist, at least nominally. I say nominally because being Russian has never been about speaking Russian, or about living in Russia or even about some hypothetical “Russian ethnicity” (which really does not exist). One definition of what it is to be Russian was given by the philosopher Vasilii Rozanov who wrote the following prophetic words in 1913: “To love a happy and great Motherland is really not a big thing. We have to love her when she is weak, small, humiliated, finally, stupid, finally, even filled with vices. It is when our “mother” is drunk, lying and all entangled in her sins that we must not depart from her. But even that is not enough: when she finally dies, eaten up by Jews, and when only her bones remain – he will be truly “Russian” who will weep over her useless skeleton, abandoned by all. He truly shall be… “. Needless to say, Rozanov is hated by the Russian “liberals”. Contrary to Rozanov, these russophobic “liberals” rejoice in every Russian failure and they can barely contain their joy when some tragedy befalls the Russian people which they hate and despise for supporting a “tyrant” like Putin instead of them, the self-perceived “intellectual elites” of Russia.
When Putin came to power, these 5th russophobic columnist were literally everywhere since their families were usually members of the Soviet elites and since during the infamous 1990s they literally took control of every single lever of power in Russia from the mass media to the Kremlin. First, Putin got rid of the oligarchs, especially the “Seven Bankers“. Next, he gradually pushed most of them out from of mass media (that is when their colleagues and patrons in the West began speaking of the lack of a free press in Russia). And then he began the slow and outright dangerous process of getting rid of them, one by one, from inside the Russian government, including the Kremlin. But Putin’s biggest achievement this year has to be his extremely successful campaign to delegitimize this 5th column. He did that no by “cracking down” on them, nor did he murder any journalist or opposition figure, and he did not fill the “new Russian Gulag” with thousands of liberal dissidents. He (by “he” I mean not only Putin himself, but also his supporters) did the exact opposite: he gave them a platform and he made darn sure that their views would be freely aired on an almost daily basis. Those interested about this can read my analysis “Counter-propaganda, Russian style“. This was pure genius: instead of silencing the russophobes, Putin gave them a completely disproportionate amount of airtime (keep in mind that less than 5% of the Russian population supports these freaks) and let them hang themselves by being wrong on just about everything: they were wrong on Crimea, wrong on the Ukraine, wrong on the economy, wrong on social and civil rights, wrong on corruption, wrong on so-called “gay rights”, wrong about NATO, wrong about the EU, wrong about Clinton (they loved her), wrong about Trump (they hate him), wrong about terrorism and wrong about Syria. As a result, these “liberals” (in the Russian meaning of the word) are now universally seen as traitors, russophobes, snobs, racists, 5th columnists, CIA puppets, etc. They now are absolutely hated and desperate. As a result, during the recent elections, we saw the amazing sight of Russian “liberals”, including Jews, allying themselves with Nazisand organizing joint protests against Putin. Needless to say, that only served to further discredit them.
There are still plenty of 5th columnists in Russia, but they are mostly laying really low, hoping for better times and trying to remain out of the public eye as much as possible. Their main remaining center of power is the Russian Central Bank and the “economic bloc” of the Medvedev government, but since both Kudrin and Uliukavev have been kicked out, the rest of them are being very careful in their actions and statements.
All in all, 2016 has been an absolutely catastrophic year for the russophobic 5th column which is now in a state of total despair and which seems to have no future whatsoever.
Syria 5/5
Russia’s success in Syria is nothing short of amazing. Not only did an extremely small Russian military force succeed in turning around the course of the war, but it has held an essentially indefensible position long enough to deter Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf states and the USA from overtly attacking the Syrian forces or government. The Russians succeeded in this despite numerous, ugly and bloody provocations and despite having to operate in an extremely hostile environment (the region “belongs” to NATO and CENTCOM). One of the most amazing successes what how the Russians managed to save Erdogan in extremis from a US backed coup and convince him to work with Russia and Iran to solve the Syrian crisis. The liberation of Aleppo could not have happened had Turkey continued to support al-Nusra & Co at any price. At the very least it would have taken much more time. By the end of 2016 the Russians own the Black Sea, control, at least for the time being, the eastern Mediterranean and they are working with the three biggest powers on the ground: the Syrians, of course, but also Iran and Turkey. As for the United States, they seemed to have lost the entire region and their only “achievement”, so to speak, has been to alienate both the Israelis and the Saudis. As for President Elect Trump, he has clearly indicated that his number one priority will be to smash Daesh & Co. which happens to be exactly what Russia, Iran and Syria want too. If Trump really manages to kick the Neocon crazies to the cockroach filled basement where they belong, we could see something quite amazing happening: a joint Russian-US effort to destroy Daesh. The big problem here will be the totally counter-productive and, frankly, idiotic anti-Iranian rhetoric of the Trump campaign. However, there must be enough good brains around Trump to make him understand that nothing in the region can happen without Iran’s approval and that the US and Iran don’t need to love each other to agree on a common objective. Trump strikes me as a realist much more than as an ideologue. Hopefully, he will learn how to separate AIPAC-pleasing rhetoric with serious foreign policy (the crash of the Obama Administration ought to teach him that lesson).
What is certain is that Russia is now running the show in Syria and that without US or Turkish support, Daesh will be facing an existential crisis. Of course, the situation remains fluid, complex and dangerous. And I would never put it past the US or Turkey to do yet another 180 and to resume their support for Daesh. The Kurdish factor, Israeli policies and Erdogan’s inherent unpredictability all serve to make sure that the Syrian crisis will continue well into 2017. However, I think that the Neocon’s crazy rampage is reached is apogee and that things should begin to improve from now on. Russia alone simply could not save Syria, and yet she appears to have done just that.
The russophobic hysteria in the West 3/5
There was simply no way that the AngloZionist could be defeated on all fronts without screaming “oy veh!” to high heaven and screaming they did. All year long. Their allegations ranged from Russia wanting to invade Latvia to Russian hackers stealing the US election. And to make absolutely sure that there was no doubt at all as to the identity of these hackers, the AngloZionists informed us that these hackers called themselves “fancy bear” and “cozy bear”, that they used the alias “Felix Edmundovich” (the first name and patronymic of Felix Derzhinskii, the founder of the Soviet secret services) and that they worked during Moscow time office hours and they took breaks during Russian holidays. And least you think that this kind of nonsense was made up in an mental institution or a kindergarten, here is the link to the article in the article in the New York times quoting “security experts”. Amazing, no? But then again, when I see the Neocons seriously calling Ron Paul a Russian agent I realize that there is nothing, no matter how stupid, that these guys would not dare say. Chutzpah in action, I suppose. And while the left side of the Bell Curve appears to have fully internalized the message, there is a growing segment of the population which realizes how silly all these accusations are.
[Personal sidebar: while I am sure that there are some Americans who believe that the Russkies are a dangerous enemy of the USA, I have yet to met even one such American. In my day to day interactions I see *no* hostility towards Russians even when I openly speak Russian with my family in stores or restaurants or when I say that I am Russian. Maybe this is because I am in Florida and not New York, but I have yet to see a single example of anti-Russian hostility].
The Russian treatment by the Western-controlled WADA at the Rio Olympics was an absolute outrage, a farce and and crime all wrapped into one. And Russia is very much to blame for having allowed the key world organizations become so controlled by the West. However, let’s also see that the USA failed to have Russia completely banned from Rio and that Russian hackers (yes, they do exist) have uncovered convincing evidence which discredits WADA and the entire system behind it. I would call that “growing pains” for the post-Soviet Russian sport: Russia now needs to “clean house” in the very real cases of doping while, at the same time, wrestling the control of the key international organizations from the West. A tough task for sure, but Russia has an immensely powerful ally in this (and many other) struggles: China. But yes, all in all, the partial ban and subsequent Russia-bashing campaign is a black eye for Russia.
In the case of Europe, russophobia has always been a northern European thing. Mediterranean countries were only dragged into imposing sanctions under very strong pressure from the north. It now appears that France will soon be ruled either by one or the other generally pro-Russian parties which are competing for the Presidency. The Brexit took out probably the single most anti-Russian country in the EU and now Germany and Poland are more or less on their own in trying to desperately revitalize the anti-Russian front. The problem for them is that they are also both subservient US colonies and that while they can fancy themselves the next in line to defend the western civilization against the revanchist Mongol hordes from the East, the reality is that they will do whatever the hell Uncle Sam tells them to do.
From now on, the only bastion of true rabid russophobia will remain in the most thoroughly “Zionified” segment of society: the media, the so-called “intellectuals”, the “liberal interventionists” and all the “tribe of minorities” who have a beef with Russia on account of the different civilizational model she represents (gender differentiated parents, religion, patriotism (but not nationalism!), etc.). These will continue to pour a steady stream of filth against Russia in general and Putin in particular. Putin will not be their only target, however, and Donald Trump will be the recipient of whatever hatred remains after Putin. Frankly, taking on Putin AND Trump at the same time is a futile and possibly risky business, no matter who you are in the AngloZionist “jet set”, especially when you also have little traction with the general public whom you have regularly insulted, demeaned and dismissed.
There could be a gigantic return of the pendulum happening before our eyes against those who have produced the lion’s share of the hate-propaganda in the West: these guys might well end up finally reaping what they have sown and become the object of hate themselves.
Terrorism 4/5
This year as been tough on Russia. A recent anonymous comment posted on this blog made a good list of the tragic murder of Russians this year including the bombing on the Russian civilian airliner over Egypt, the Su-24 shootdown involving US AWACS, the murder of the Russian medics in a precision strike, the murder of the Russian Ambassador and the probable murder of the Red Army Choir (the latest news out of Russia seems to point with a malfunction of the wing flaps, not a terrorist attack). To this list I would add the Novorussian commanders assassinated in the Donbass. That is a lot of innocent Russian victims. But compared to the number of innocent Syrians or Turks this number is relatively small. It is outright tiny of compared to the kind of mass horror the Wahabis managed to organize in Chechnia. Let’s remember that Russia is a country at war with state-sponsored transnational terrorism and that many millions of dollars of “aid” are going towards the various Nazi and Wahabi organizations with have the murder of Russians as their main goal. I would say “so far, so good” but I cannot do that because I believe that Russia is still not ready to face the kind of terrorism which is likely to hit her in the next year. There is one specific type of target which is currently completely undefended and which the terrorists can strike with quasi-impunity: Russian Orthodox churches outside Russia.
The Russians need to revisit the kind of terror campaign the Palestinians waged in the 1970s against the Israelis when they attacked not only Israeli cultural centers, but also Jewish daycare centers, schools, and synagogues. Russian Orthodox churches are now facing the very same threat including bombings and hostage taking. As somebody who has attended Russian Orthodox churches all my life and all over the planet I know that the number of potential targets are in the *hundreds* and that they are all completely unprotected.
The Israeli example is crucial here because the Israelis rapidly realized that they simply could not count on the local police forces to protect them. This is why they organized various local organizations directly attached to a synagogue or school staffed by volunteers who could do many very useful and fully legal things to protect Israeli/Jewish targets such as, for example, begin to occupy all the parking spaces around a synagogue 48 hours before any religious holiday to make sure that no VBIEDs (aka “car bombs”) could be placed next to the synagogue. There is *a lot* a well educated group of volunteers can do to legally protect an exposed civilian target. They can do even better when they work with the locals cops and the security specialists at the embassy. The Russians urgently need to study the Israeli experience in dealing with a kind of threat which they will soon face. Remember, the Palestinians also began by attacking diplomats, officials and aircraft, but as soon as these targets were “hardened” they turn to daycare centers, schools and synagogues.
I believe that inside Russia the FSB has a good control of the situation. But outside Russia the amount of specialized personnel fully dedicated to security is woefully inadequate and needs to be dramatically expanded. During the Soviet era few government dared to openly attack Soviet targets, the fearsome (and very much exaggerated!) reputation of the KGB probably helped, while during the Eltsin years there really was no point in attacking Russia as she was internally collapsing. But now that Russia is very strong internally, and the Russian military personnel hard to get at, diplomats, children and clergy are probably going to be the next targets of the Wahabis.
The one good news about this issue that the the Soviets/Russians have been fighting the Wahabis since the 1970s and that they are acutely aware that there is no such thing as a non-state sponsored terrorism. The Russians know where the money, training and weapons come from and they know that terrorism can only be defeated by strong counter-intelligence and and intelligence operations, especially human intelligence. The foreign intelligence branch of the KGB, the PGU or First Chief Directorate, had a (very much deserved) reputation for being able to infiltrate agents pretty much anywhere, including the top echelons of the CIA and NSA, and we can be confident that the SVR today is slowly rebuilding is capabilities worldwide and, especially, in the countries which sponsor Wahabi terrorism. Just the way the Russian special services saved Erdogan and thereby “flipped” Turkey – one of the absolutely worst sponsors of Wahabi terrorism – is already a huge success. God willing, the Saudis will be next.
Conclusion
Simply put – 2016 has been a fantastic year for Russia. Putin’s policy of slow, low-key and deliberate move and counter-move has proven to be extremely effective. While to some “hurray patriots” it did appear that Putin was being passive and doing nothing, the outcome of this year has been a Putin victory on all fronts, including the most dangerous and difficult ones. Remember all the nonsense these Putin-haters wrote about “Putin selling out the Donbass”, “Putin unable to reply to the Turkish shoot-down of the SU-24”, “Putin disarming Syria” or “Putin betraying Assad”? These “hurray patriots” have been predicted doom and gloom for years now and they have been proven wrong every single time. Did that silence them? Somewhat. I notice that most of the “Putin is selling out the Donbass” blogs are posting very little and when they do, it is mostly stuff unrelated to their previous Putin-bashing campaign. The same goes for the Ukronazis commentators on sites which allow them to post: they seem to have thrown in the towel and given up convincing the world about how democratic the junta in Kiev is, about how there are hundreds of Russian tanks in Donetsk and how the Ukraine will join the EU and become Germany-like overnight. The only ones who are keeping up the Putin-bashing campaign are the western presstitutes, but they are doing that for pay and to keep their jobs. Besides, that is all they know how to do anyway. But all in all, there is a general lack of energy and enthusiasm in the Russia hating camp which is a real joy for me to see.
2017 could be an amazing year for the world, or it could be a big disappointment. Right now this depends mostly on what Trump will do after he assumes his official capacity. To me the single most important fact will remain that with Hillary in the White House our planet risked a major thermonuclear war. There is no reason any more to believe that this is going to happen. As for the list of all the good things which *could* happen in 2017 if Trump does the right thing for his country, it will be the topic of a future analysis.
