As North Korean Missiles Fly Tillerson Lies

 

We made a poor calculation, or so it seems. We had predicted, “somewhere between Thanksgiving and Christmas Kim Jong-un will announce he has had it with the American double-dealing and perversity and lies and return to firing missiles.” Apparently, Kim Jong-un did not even wait for Labor Day as on Saturday North Korea launched a set of short-range ballistic missiles and on Tuesday fired another missile, this time over the Islands of Japan. The series of missile firing came just days after U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson welcomed North Korea’s recent “restraint” suggested talks with Pyongyang may be possible “in the near future,” (Watch video below). Tillerson stated in response to the North Korean provocations that the missiles were a “provocative act” adding that the United States would continue to search for a peaceful solution. This is where we question whether or not Secretary of State Tillerson may be going off the rails concerning Kim Jong-un and North Korea as compared to his stances on Israel, Kurdistan and the Arab World’s general offensive along with Iran and Turkey against the world, specifically the Western World.

 

 

Secretary Tillerson, it has been noted in conjecture, has been the driving force driving the Administration’s suspicions and commentary against the Kurdish intentions to vote for a referendum to declare their independence from Iraq and form their formerly promised state of Kurdistan before the British reneged on their promise. The Secretary of State has also been a consistent thorn in the side of relations with Israel. The problems with Israel do not rise to the level that the relations with the Kurds have reached, but Israel has her independence already. Still, having Secretary of State Tillerson constantly promoting policies which reflect the Arabist views of the world in general and the views of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, or potentially Mecca and more appropriately, Medina, is wearing thin as it flies in the face of policies which would be to the advantage of the United States specifically and the free world generally.

 

We understand that the apparent assignment for the State Department is to play Devil’s advocate and oppose what would be right and best for the United States. This was evidenced when they sent a communist group to assist in writing the United Nations Charter and gave the Soviets advantages at every corner. It was further established with their strong advice to President Truman not to recognize Israeli independence, good thing he ignored their advice. Now they are advising the United States deny nationhood to the strongest and closest ally existing in the war on the Islamic State, the only group to have large success in driving the Islamic State from northern Syria, the peoples whom the United States has been arming and Israel has given tactical assistance yet the State Department claims they are unworthy of statehood as that would detract from Iraqi sovereignty and weaken Iran. We seem to remember some commentary about knocking Iran down a peg or two and rewriting parts of the deal with Iran over nuclear research into nuclear weaponry and the processing of uranium by President Trump. Apparently, Secretary Tillerson is concerned about what effect a Kurdish State might have on Iraq and Iran and very likely the Islamic State and Syrian dictator Bashir al-Assad.

 

These steps come in addition to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson making some antagonizing noise over Israeli “settlements” referring to legally built communities and cities according to the Oslo Accords stipulations while ignoring illegal building by the European Union along with the Arabs in Area C against every stipulation concerning this region by the Oslo Accords. It has become apparent that Secretary of State Tillerson and his State Department have decided once again to adopt the Arab revisionism of the Oslo Accords in which Israel has no right to Jerusalem, Akko, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Tiberius, Eilat, Beersheba and Tel Aviv. This had been the interpretation of the final settlement according to Yasser Arafat and has been adopted by Mahmoud Abbas and the PA and apparently also adopted by Secretary Tillerson in spirit if not in its entirety. Such sophomoric, treacherous and toxic advice can only embolden Abbas and the Arabs to avoid direct negotiations and in its stead demand concessions from Israel which Secretary Tillerson and the State Department will very likely pressure Israel to concede, as they always have, regardless of the position of President Trump or his Middle East envoy Jared Kushner and President Trump’s International Negotiator Jason Greenblatt which appears to be more open ended. While President Trump’s team has stated clearly an Administration position of no preconditions, preconceptions, or premonitions of the design of a solution, the State Department with a few worthy exceptions appears to be backing the continued failings of the “two-state-solution” directly in opposition to all other, including their own, efforts.

 

Secretary Tillerson also came out expressly against Kurdish independence. One would be following logic and good sense if they were to conclude from previous indications such as the United States arming of the Kurds in Syria and in warning off Turkey’s Erdoğan, who had started a general campaign militarily against the Kurds in Syria and Iraq, thus protecting Kurdish interests, that the Administration would back the concept of a new country named Kurdistan where the Kurds could fulfil their destiny free of tyrannical and counter productive interference from Baghdad. We would and have gone further in suggesting a greater Kurdistan which would span across northeastern Syria, northern Iraq and northwestern Iran and for allowing Kurds from outside the area, from Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran in particular, to return to their newly reestablished homelands free from outside influences or policies. The Kurds were another indigenous group which had been promised a return to their homelands and a freely established state after World War I and the divisions of the great empires of Austro-Hungary, German (which had included Poland within its borders) and Ottoman. One might be led to believe that Turkey would desire such a nation as a place they could force their Kurdish minority to emigrate and end their fears of Kurdish revolt but Erdoğan envisions a greater Turkey which would envelop the Kurdish regions and then the Kurds would be facing a similar fate than that of the Armenians under Ottoman rule. One can only wonder where Secretary Tillerson stands on the ideas of a greater Turkey or a hegemonic Iran which would include much of Iraq plus all of Syria and Lebanon (see concept map below). Greater Turkey would include areas of Syria and Iraq which the Kurds desire for their homelands and extend slightly beyond before they would run into Iranian Shiite opposition but would include Sunni areas of Iraq. Hegemonic Iran would incorporate much of Iraq and Syria plus all, if not beyond, Lebanon, Oman, Yemen, Djibouti and Qatar thus surrounding Saudi Arabia and Jordan who would be thrust together potentially being forced into having relations with Israel. The greater question would be how far along the coast of the Horn of Africa Iran might spread and whether or not Jordan would invite Saudi Arabian protection as part of the Gulf Cooperation Council (included in map).

 

Greater Turkey and Hegemonic Iran
In Faceoff to Control Middle East

 

Our guess of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson reacting to such a map as depicted would be outrage that Israel would take control of the lands actually promised her by the San Remo Conference, the Treaty of Sèvres, the Treaty of Lausanne, the Mandate System, the Conventions of the League of Nations and Article 80 of the United Nations Charter making these treaties and the entirety of their implications, promises, stipulations and implications all enforced by the United Nations. He would likely view at such a point as this that Israel rightfully belonged to Saudi Arabia as the British Mandate of Jordan had been included under Saudi protective rule, why not the remaining 22% of the British Mandate. He would question, with the support of the deep state of the State Department, the protestations expressed by the Israelis and would ignore the religious implications and what would verily happen should Israeli citizens ever come under Muslim or Arab rule. Secretary Tillerson would likely read some missive from the Saudi Royals which would be presented as their guarantee of protection for the Jews of Israel as they are People of the Book (أهل الكتاب) and as such a protected class of Dhimmis. He would infer that Dhimmis meant honored guests and a protected group as stated and would ignore the horrid rumors about the Jews being Kāfir (كافر) and thus could be subjected to the choice of convert to Islam or die without ever compromising their Dhimmitude.

 

Allow us to end with a beseechment to the leading advisors and their coordination impairment and the confusion, embarrassment and detriment they have caused. Please, President Trump and especially Chief of Staff John F. Kelly, Four Star Marine General (ret), clean up the imbroglio which is the President’s Cabinet. First and foremost, determine who amongst them are capable of supporting a single set of ideas and ideals and are willing to cooperate, then be rid of the rest. Next, sit them all down and play for them the main points President Trump promised to accomplish while campaigning. Then ask who would not be capable of not only supporting but actively engaging all their energies to accomplish whatever tasks they may receive to get these things accomplished. Those who appear even the slightest to delay and especially those who cough, hem and haw, be done with them and receive not their counsel. Lastly, ask each Secretary to submit plans to, first, restructure their department, second, cut their department staffing by a minimum of fifty percent, and lastly, to dissolve their department entirely and advising where critical actions could be best served. Then meet with the President and go through these plans and decide which departments need to implement which plan. Just as a starter, may we suggest you get rid of Educations Department, Homeland Security Department; half or more of the law enforcement bureaus starting with BTFE, and have the State Department reduce its staff by fifty percent, at least twice. Advice for President Trump, ignore much of the noise which erupts regularly from the State Department, as often doing the opposite of what they advise is the best move.

Trump Bordering Clueless on the Middle East

 

President Donald Trump is bordering on clueless regarding much of the Middle East and who are the best and who are troublesome. He has occasional bursts of insight and then appears to slide back into oblivion. One of his problems is his advisors are all over the map on their advice and no two are coming from the same objective point. There is one advisor who, while being amongst the loudest, acts as if he were paid by George Soros which, according to his resume, he once was paid by George Soros as have so many as Soros has his fingers in virtually every dark corner in this world, and you don’t get to the positions Tillerson has held without some contacts with undesirables. Still, Tillerson is at the State Department likely because he was the sole friend or acquaintance who was at all willing to enter that snake-pit and war with the vipers and constrictors who squeezed and poisoned the minds of previous Secretaries of State such as John Bolton, Condoleezza Rice, Collin Powell, and probably others all the way back to Timothy Pickering. Tillerson has some contrary views on the Middle East as he is an oil soaked Arabist. As such, he is opposed to Israel, the Kurds an oddly every true friend the United States has in the Middle East. Trust that Israel and the Kurds are more than simply friends for the United States but also barometers of whether she is steering a true path or sailing towards the craggy cliffs of futile endeavors which will steal from her life, blood and treasure and return nothing but rude awakenings when the truth be known.

 

We will leave the Israel part for background and look largely at the coming binding resolution the Kurdish People will be taking in their regions on September 25, 2017, on whether they should secede from Iraq. Their nonbinding resolution on this subject taken a little over a decade ago passed with 99.8% supporting secession declaring their own nation of Kurdistan. We are equally supportive of the establishing of a greater Kurdistan which would be carved almost exclusively from Iraq and Syria (see map below). We would favor this nation having a Right of Return law similar to the Israeli Right of Return for the Jewish People except for Kurdish People to return to their homelands. This would actually be something which honestly is owed the Kurdish People as they were initially promised by the British that they were to be given their homelands after World War I. When oil was found near Kirkuk and King Feisal offered the British rights to the oil fields, the offers made to the Kurds were found to be inconvenient. The British were good at altering their deals with indigenous peoples in order to suit the Arab demands. The Arabs claimed all of the Ottoman lands claiming, as per their Quran, that all lands which were part of the Caliphates and thus also the Ottomans were to remain as Arab lands and were not to be permitted to be allowed for any others. This was also the deal with Israel and in order to prevent the founding of Israel as the Jewish State the British kept paying Arabs to move from Iraq, Jordan, and even Syria and especially Egypt into the areas west of the Jordan River in order to maintain the Arab majority and thus permit refusing to allow the Jews sovereignty. The Jews eventually, after the agreement passed by the General Assembly accepted any deal while the Arabs refused the deal demanding they have all the lands and promising to destroy the Jews by war if necessary. That was the reason for the War of Annihilation against the Jews by at least a half dozen Arab armies and numerous militias starting at dawn of May 15, 1948, the same date when the Jews declared their state. The Kurds were not as fortunate as the Arabs overran their area and they did not have the organizations to resist, something the Jews managed despite losing the areas of Gaza, Judea and Samaria.

 

Our Idea for a Proposed Kurdistan

 

Things have changed and the Kurds now have one of the more proficient military forces in the conflict-savaged areas of Iraq and Syria. The Kurds have proven to have the most effective military forces which stopped the spread of ISIS when they were spreading into Iraq and again as they advanced on northern Syria. What is confusing is, despite the Kurds providing the most reliable fighting force assisting the United States efforts against the Islamic State, President Trump has opposed their intentions for independence. It is known that the State Department also opposes Kurdish independence, as does Secretary of State Tillerson, unsurprisingly. Both the State Department and their boss, Secretary Tillerson, are strongly influenced by their ties and deference to Arab influences. Tillerson is reflexively influenced by Arab desires and influences due to his deep experiences with the oil companies and Exxon-Mobile in particular. The State Department went from being supportive of Arab influences in correlation with their subversion to the Soviet Union and their interests. During this period, there were a number of Arab supporters hired into the State Department and the atmosphere turned against Israel and now against the Kurdish hopes. These influences remain and are continuing to serve interest not of the United States. President Trump claimed he would drain the swamp but thus far, it appears more as if the swamp has begun to drain him as it has others before him.

 

It would be a sad thing should the swamp, which has spread into the areas of Washington D.C. which were originally drained from swamp to make room for the buildings, which comprise the governing conglomerate, should eek its way and permeate the government deeper than Trump is able to drain the morass and its accompanying miasma. Perhaps this was ordained from the start when the decision was made to use reclaimed swamplands for the mall and seat of the Federal Government. Perhaps a little foresight and a better selection of lands, as it might be difficult to build a shining city on a hill if you start in lowlands formerly the habitat of rodents and other creatures of the tidal wetlands of the Potomac River. Just because you name a place Capital Hill, that does not make it into an automatically high place. Perhaps such is the challenge put before the elected officials to take the former swamp and clear it of the current affliction which President Elect Donald Trump claimed was the swamp he would drain. By all current appearance, President Trump may have chosen a task for which he does not posses the requisite skills to accomplish. Perhaps time will prove him capable, but for now, he has yet to get his own Cabinet in order. President Trump has appointed a former military man, a retired Four Star Marine General named John F. Kelly, as his new Chief of Staff who will hopefully find some order and get the members of the Trump team to follow the same script. His first job will be to find a common chord upon which they can all find agreement and work from there to fill out an entire program. Eventually, General Kelly will have to find some means of untangling the Middle East, the area where there appears to be most disagreement and confusion. Within the Cabinet and advisors there are those who support a united Jerusalem under Israeli rule and those who believe that the two state solution will but need the division once again of Jerusalem. Oddly enough, that might be the area of least disagreement. The seeming discordance of views may be the biggest disappointment for Trump supporters and should this not be rectified and set to right with the greatest of urgency, President Trump may find his support vanishing. Already there have appeared cracks in the foundation of the Trump White House and the need for order could not be more obvious. President Trump should Tweet less and instead get his songbirds all tweeting the same tune, or at least from the same operetta.

The Left and Their Dream with the Shadow Government

 

This article is written completely from ideas, concepts, threats, promises, commentary and other political talk almost exclusively from, by and via links that liberal, Democrat, leftists and extremist anti-Trump people, many of whom have apparently lost all threads holding them to sanity on Facebook alone, as we are Twitter abbrev. challenged and our friends which we have on Google are largely Israeli and Zionist thus little mention of Trump except for puzzlement over the rioting and apparently never ending temper tantrums. Some of our Google friends have cut their ties with Facebook as they found it incomprehensible and themselves often targeted because they were not hyperventilating over Trump’s election. One of the running commentaries talks about people who have been placed over the last eight years into high positions in the Civil Service where they are capable of affecting policy enactment and enforcement thus being capable of enacting their own policies and blocking those of the administration. These people have been placed sufficiently high but below the level at which they might be able to be targeted and removed from office and continue to be completely covered by Civil Service protections making them presumably near impossible to fire. The people speaking about these people often make jokes about how President Trump is unable to simply call these people to his office and say, “You’re fired,” as he was often used to saying on his shows of the “Apprentice” series. That small bit of humor is about as funny as their presumed amusing commentary gets, as much of their humor is pointed and very insulting of people in the administration, especially Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon. What is amazing is that Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon appear to have taken the bullseye off of President Donald Trump’s backside and run away with the well-aimed slings and arrows of outrageous accusations taking the full brunt of the media’s attention. If this was planned by President Trump and his advisors, then it was a brilliant diversion as if worst comes to worst, Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon are far more expendable than would be President Trump.

 

Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon

 

There are still the media and Facebook calls for both a nullification of the election and having a redo as well as the impeachment of President Trump. There is apparent exhilaration over claims that the Supreme Court is going to review the evidence of Russian intervention and giving President Trump the election when in actuality Hillary Clinton would have otherwise won the election. There are links galore telling of Supreme Court imminent review and possible negation of the election with examples here from the Brookings Institution and a web site called the Palmer Report and a site simply calling itself World as well as a site which just screams how neutral it must be with the name Bipartisan Report plus the Law Newz site and finally our favorite uninterested and totally unbiased and fair source of only the finest of true news, Daily Kos. With such reputable sites and the occasional commentary talking of such a possibility, how could any reasoned individual not see that the Supreme Court must step in and right the wrongs from the election and put the true winner, or at least force a real election where the person who actually won receives the Electoral College votes they deserve and win the election. Remember, Hillary Clinton actually won the election because she got more votes; the Electoral College is a false setup which was invented so that the people could be cheated from voting for the President directly. Well, they did get that correct and that was the reason but it goes deeper than that simple description. It was designed so that Wyoming would be far more important than California because each person voting in Wyoming was equal to many thousands of people voting in California and that need be corrected according to every leftist we have heard from living in California. Let’s do the math and they have a point about the Wyoming voters having more weight in the electoral College compared to California and this is probably the most drastic comparison from the electoral college and thus educational. California has fifty-five Electors and a population of 39,250,017 meaning that each Elector represents approximately 713,637 while Wyoming has three Electors, the minimum possible, and a population of 585,501 leading to each Elector representing 195,167 meaning each Wyoming voter represents approximately three and two-thirds. But, what about Washington D.C. which is solidly Democrat voters and also had three Electors with a population of 681,170 leading to each Elector representing 227,057, roughly equal to Wyoming so apparently there is a balancing and California likely is approximately the same as Texas and then New York comes in a close third and gives the Democrats an advantage not taken into consideration when these rabid anti-Trump people seek reasons the Electoral College, and thus the election, was absolutely unfair to Hillary Clinton making it impossible for her to win despite her receiving the majority of the popular vote. Many people will seek any point which they feel negates Donald Trump winning the election fairly and then run it into the ground repeating the same complaints ad-nauseum. Sometimes it appears as if different people were each assigned their talking point and told to beat their own positional drum until told to stop, and nobody was ever assigned to wave the stop signal so they all continue drumming home their assigned point.

 

The hyperventilating by so many and the fact that there has been almost no letting up on the intensity, that is frightening. Many of these individuals speak about the existence of a shadow government set up within the actual government used to interrupt and confound the efforts of the Trump administration and work towards toppling the government. Their hope is by preventing the proper function of the government and exacerbating any situations which will cause instability and panic in the population, they can cause governmental collapse and the people demanding action to replace Trump and all of his administration and a return to proper governance with Hillary Clinton in the White House. They completely ignore the actual existing Presidential line of succession. This is dictated by the Constitution which lists after the President the order of succession goes as follows: Vice President Mike Pence, Speaker of the House of Representatives Paul Ryan, President pro tempore of the Senate Orrin Hatch, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin, Secretary of Defense James Mattis and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The possibility that any calamity could press the level of succession this deep would require such an event that the actual existence of the Capital would be questionable but the remainder of the Presidential succession continues as follows: Secretary of the Interior, Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of Labor, Secretary of Health and Human Services, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Secretary of Transportation, Secretary of Energy, Secretary of Education, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Secretary of Homeland Security. This list includes the entire history of succession law set by Congress including the original laws as defined by the Constitution plus the Presidential Succession Act 1792, Presidential Succession Act 1886, Presidential Succession Act 1947, Postmaster General being removed 1971 and finally the Secretary of Homeland Security being added 2006. Simply put, nowhere on this list as it now stands or likely to change in the near future does Hillary Clinton’s name pop up and it cannot unless Donald Trump appoints her to one of these positions, not anywhere near likely.

 

So what exactly are these Facebook enthusiasts who support making Hillary Clinton the President and replacing the current Republican controlled Congress and Supreme Court with the most left wing Democrats imaginable. Well, they foresee a situation where the governance has completely failed, their demonstrations have become a populous call to arms by a vast majority of the American people, the demonstrations often bursting into mayhem and the major cities burning, business being prevented from operating, the economy failing and as things spiral into worse and worse rioting, demonstrations and government collapsing in city after city and President Trump completely losing any control of the situation and the population demanding that something be done to return sanity and normalcy using whatever becomes required. They imagine the military including the National Guard and the Army and Marines refusing to take their orders from President Trump because they have become convinced that he is illegally holding office and demand that the rightful President, Hillary Clinton, be installed and sworn into office as President replacing Donald Trump before the enlisted soldiers and their officers will accept any orders to restore order. The demonstrators also demand the same result in order for their ending their massive demonstrations. All of these situations coming together force the end of President Trump’s time in office and the leftist dream is fulfilled with Hillary Clinton being sworn into office.

 

They have a Plan B, which would appear a good idea as Plan A above is preposterous. Plan B requires the Supreme Court, see examples above, to accept a challenge to the election presumably due to either the fact that Hillary actually won due to receiving the popular vote or because the Russians rigged the election for their candidate, Donald Trump. The more popular is the Russian interference in the elections both by presumably handing WikiLeaks the leaked and hacked e-mails from the Democrat National Committee and from Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta which presumably proved disastrous to Hillary Clinton costing her the election. WikiLeaks has insisted that everything they made public was hacked by their people and that they received nothing from the Russians. Backing this up the Russians also claim they provided nothing to WikiLeaks. There is the further claim that the public release of information literally stolen from hackings of both the Democrat National Committee and John Podesta computers proved to provide information which proved a disaster for the Clinton campaign and handed the election to Donald Trump and as hacking of computers is of questionable legality, well, not questionable as much as illegal and completely against the law, thus the effect of these e-mails being released must be disqualified and somehow the result of the election adjusted to disallow for any influence from these e-mail and other hacked information. How this is supposed to be figured has yet to be explained except that any means of altering the vote to remove the hacking influence must result in a victory for Hillary Clinton, period. The entire Facebook revolution, another augment from the demonstrations on college campuses and selected major cities, is centered on a single objective, placing Hillary Clinton into the Presidency no matter what is required up to and including overthrowing the government by force and installing Hillary Clinton into the White House.

 

These screaming Facebook leftists and their fellow travelers are chasing an improbable result which can only succeed if the American system of government is overthrown and a person not selected by an election be placed in the Presidency. This is the exact formula used throughout history by leftists and the result has always been labelled as fascist. The formula is civic unrest which grows until business and society are no longer capable of normal activity. This escalation continues until the normative people of the public demand that the insurrection be put down and the hue and cry of the violent demonstrations and rioting are arrested or otherwise have their activities terminated. This is often done through violent police or military actions where the majority of the people who have been solicited and used by the fascist elites to destroy life and the existing government are simply murdered as they are no longer required, their usefulness has ended and their threat to governing can no longer be tolerated as the fascists have gained what they desired, absolute power. This ending probably has not been explained to the people out rioting, even those who have been hired to organize the rioting which is obviously being orchestrated as the rioters wear a type of uniform of all black including masked faces. The highest levels of organizers are part of the elitist structure and have a position as leaders of the secret police which will exist to ferret out any opposition. A well-organized fascist system often runs their own underground revolution such that they will know who has decided to leave the farm, so to speak. These people will be recruited and those proving vulnerable to recruitment will be reeducated and left loving big brother. What is being proposed with the install Hillary campaign is nothing less than an attempt to overturn the American Constitutional Republic and replace it with a new leftist fascist governance where freedom will be a thing of the past and the Tytler Cycle of Power in Governance will have turned another click in its inevitable movement from bondage to freedom and back again. And that is the end of their effort and Facebook will almost immediately become censored worse than it is in Mainland China.
