Donald Trump’s days of playing the passive/aggressive host of a reality-television game show are coming to an end. Either he fires all the apprentices who might slightly hesitate to wage a much larger world war and lets the bombs fly, or he will be replaced by one who will. Signs are that he has learned what his job entails and the world will suffer more death and destruction as a result.
And it is a pretty big rabbit-hole – based entirely on the location where this incident is said to have happened. Which we will get to in a moment; and then you can decide for yourselves how relevant you think it is or isn’t. But first, let’s just do the basics. In another month, I […]

An unidentified female student says there were "definitely three shooters" in the building. She says the students previously had been put through drills, so they believed the real shooting was just another drill. Offscreen, young men who are believed to be students, are heard saying: "They told us about a drill where they were gonna be shooting blanks." Alexa Miednik, a senior, reported that she was walking with and talking to the suspect, Nikolas Cruz, while she heard shots from another area of the school. She says there must have been other shooters because Cruz did not have a gun.
Trump said: “I would love to be able to bring back our country into a great form of unity,” Then he added: “Without a major event where people pull together, that’s hard to do. But I would like to do it without that major event, because usually that major event is not a good thing.” He is referring to an event like Pearl Harbor or 9/11. One can only wonder if the President has been briefed on the possibility of another Pearl Harbor or 9/11 with the result that he would have no choice, as the nation's leader, but to establish the kind of unity that comes with public fear and martial law.
The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.
— Edward Bernays, Propaganda, 1928
The United States continues to suppress and block any international effort to verify or investigate what actually happened at last year’s alleged chemical weapons event in Khan Shaykhun, Syria. This week, after Russia proposed the implementation of basic due process in order to actually investigate and verify US claims of chemical weapons use by the Syrian government, US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley snapped back and accused Moscow of trying to ‘protect Assad’ from war crimes accusations.
