    Jan van Eyck; The Last Judgement (detail) 1430
    It reminds me of the illustrations in Dante’s Inferno, of the 9 levels of hell. All those tortured souls…
    I also couldn’t help but think of van Eyck’s painting, in another vain, as symbolic of present day U.S..
    The coming inferno that will be Syria will propel Trump’s ratings sky high; further evidence of the depravity of Usians.
    The Tucker Carlson piece was epic; a very brave Usian indeed; especially since Usians suckle on lies and propaganda.
    Truth, for most Usians, is nowhere to be found except in very rare instances.
    One wonders if they would even recognize that rare gift, truth?

    A thoughtful and interesting read on the Syrian situation.

    Western-Eurasian standoff coming to a head in the Syrian theatre

    The author speaks to a measured; but direct, response by Russia, if the U.S. attacks.
    For my part; this one would like to see the cooler heads of the U.S. armed services, calm down the rising situation with a healthy dose of rationality.

    We’re certainly in the 9th circle of hell, where the same torments happen day after day…

    Despite a reflexive rejection of anything with the name Medium.com, again a proper article. Most everything is a lie, a misdirection, or hidden, but at least down here on the ground we need to plainly say what we want and believe. Rule of law, no foriegn wars, bring the troops home, use the money on our shattered economy…I detect a campaign here.

    “Over the past year, those of us in the anti-Trump camp have churned out billions of words critiquing the president. … And by that standard, the anti-Trump movement is a failure.”

    Maybe they should notice that’s how very, V E R Y much people hate you. How vile, despicable, and discredited you are, with all your kind. But no. They will say it’s because they’re awesome geniuses, and everyone who doesn’t think like them is a stupid, racist, redneck. ‘Cause that’s how you win hearts and minds, right? With thoughtless insults and approbations?

    Hey would this have anything to do with “Saddam has weapons of mass destruction and ties to Al-Qaeda”?
    How about “NAFTA will give us more jobs, not less”?
    “We found the yellowcake on a bench in Prague”?
    “The Iraqis will greet us with open arms and the invasion will pay for itself”?
    “13 Twitter trolls fixed the election where $6 Billion was spent.”?
    “The NSA is not spying on you.”?
    “Trump isn’t being wiretapped.”?
    “he NYT doesn’t hire known plagiarizers and protect them”?
    “We didn’t rig the California primary.”?
    “It’s Greece that’s being bailed out, and they’ll recover soon.”?
    “We didn’t hire a Buzzfeed reporter who approved all his stories through the campaign candidate and was quoted as saying ‘Don’t tell anyone I’m a hack.'”?
    “Refugees raised in war zones who have no skills and don’t speak the language are loving people who will cause no cultural stress.”?
    “Adding 5 million refugees will not impact budgets or remove services from EU citizen’s safety net.”?
    “Russia walked through all of Britain’s CCTV cameras, and lick-and-sticked the world’s most dangerous verve agent on the doorknob of a house, which has no known antidote, but killed no one but a hamster.”?

    Or my personal favorite: “Assad gassed his own people (in 10/12, 12/12, 3,3,3,3,3/13; 4,4,4,4,4/13;5,5/13; 9,9,9,9,9/13; 4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4/14; 5,5,5,5,5,5,5/14; 7,7/14; 8,8,8/14; 2,2/15; 3,3,3,3,3,3/15; 6,6/15; 8/15; 4/16; 8/16; 10/16; 11/16; 1/17; 3,3/17; 4,4/17; 1/18; 2/18; 4/18)” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_of_chemical_weapons_in_the_Syrian_Civil_War
    None of which have ever been proven, and most of which have never been investigated. So if you feel you’ve seen this story before, you’re right! Now you’d think if this happened 67 times, at least ONCE it could be investigated and officially attributed to Syria, but no. P.S. AND they gave up their chemical weapons under full U.N. confirmation and review in 2013.

    Mightn’t this have something to do with how no one but the protected 1% believes the New York Times reporters, AT ALL, anymore? And mightn’t that extend to how much credibility you have concerning Trump? In fact, considering the aforementioned, couldn’t it actively make people like and believe Trump simply BECAUSE you don’t like him? I mean, since everything you say is the opposite of the truth, if you say he’s bad and incompetent he must actually be….what?

    Just 60 seconds, top of my head greatest hits of these peripatetic, pathological, psychotic liars, roving the earth like a demon horde, starting wars, killing people, jailing them, aiding the evil and oppressing the truth.

    Waiting for your answer, but I know you’ll have to offer it for review and editing by the opposing candidate, then deny it.

    This just in, from the illustrious U.S. President;

    “Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and ‘smart!’ You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!”

    All I can muster is to shake my head in disbelief that this male human is the leader of the U.S..
    Truly, a new bottom for the U.S.; already on its long slide down into the crapper…

    From a professor at the University of Edinburgh:

    Chemical Attack in Douma: a false pretext for escalating war against Syria?
    Chemical Attack in Douma: a false pretext for escalating war against Syria?

    Update to briefing note ‘Doubts about Novichoks’
    Update to briefing note ‘Doubts about Novichoks’

    Key Points

    There is no corroboration of Mirzayanov’s story of a secret Russian “Novichoks” programme to develop a new class of nerve agents, although the compounds described in his book in 2008 are real structures.

    There is evidence that the US government has concealed what it knows about these compounds: specifically

    A record in a public database showing that one of these compounds had been synthesized around 1998 by the US Army’s chemical defence lab (Edgewood) has been deleted

    When the structures of these compounds were published in 2008 the US government sought to discourage discussions of the matter at OPCW and another international forum for chemical weapons prohibition.

    The UK government has asserted that “No country bar Russia has combined capability, intent and motive” to carry out the Salisbury poisonings. Published studies show that these compounds can be synthesized at bench scale (sufficient for an assassination) in other countries. The UK government’s declared case therefore rests only on subjective judgements of “intent and motive”, which are open to question.

    That Trump won the elections precisely BECAUSE of David Brooks and ilks’ anti-Trumpism would never occur to him. He thinks the ‘movement’ is right and just made some mistakes along the way. But that’s still just the self-entitlement of an elite. And that Trump is still as popular as he is is again BECAUSE they have kept harping on their anti-Overdo message 24/7, with made-up tale after made-up narrative.

    And now he’s in the arms of Bolton. And the anti-Trumpists will be the first to cheer him on and tell him to bomb.The MSM elites are the most dangerous group of people around. I said a year or so ago that Trump should be seen in Shakespearian terms. That also makes much clearer what role the NYT and WaPo play. Wannabe kingmakers ready to stab any backside they can spot.

    And yeah, that entire litany of Assad chemical attacks, combined with the Litvinenko and Skripal cases et al, have one thing in common. There is no proof. Ever. And no, they have a second thing in common: Russia is involved.

    I think I’ve said it before: if Russia does all these things, and ‘we’ can never prove they do, doesn’t that mean they’re so much smarter than us, we might as well hand them the keys to the kingdom right now?

    After all, given the above, what chance do we have of resisting the realm of evil? Might as well give up now.
