If
Truth Is Politicized, All Is Lost

- Trump’s surrender
to the neoconservatives makes it impossible for
an informed person to support him.
He has signed off on the coup against
democracy in Venezuela, and he has placed all
life at risk by pulling out of the INF treaty
with Russia.
Putin has publicly announced that the
consequences of Washington’s reckless and
irresponsible decision to junk the INF treaty
will be the targeting of the missile sites in
Europe and also of the American command and
control centers.

As I write there is nothing on the BBC or
CNN websites or anywhere else in the US print
and TV media about the President of Russia’s
clear statement.
Trump has allowed the crazed neocons to
raise the likelihood of nuclear Armageddon to
near certainty, and it has gone unreported by
the presstitutes.
Not
only is there no evidence for Washington’s claim
that Russia has violated the INF treaty,
violating the treaty is not in Russia’s
interests. Russian intermediate range missiles
cannot reach the US. The purpose of the treaty
is to keep Russia from targeting Europe by
preventing US intermediate range missiles from
being deployed in Europe.
Washington tore up the INF treaty in
order to put intermediate range missiles on
Russia’s border, thus endangering Europe.
A
hopeful person could perhaps reason that Trump,
realizing that he is powerless to reduce
tensions with Russia and to stop the wars, has
decided to give free rein to the neocons in the
expectation that they will so terrify Europe
that Europe will break from Washington and NATO
in an act of self-preservation. https://sputniknews.com/europe/201902211072620749-europe-suicide-pact-us-missiles/
Perhaps Trump realizes that only the
breakup of the Empire can stop the wars, and
that the best way to destroy the American Empire
is to give free rein to the crazed
neoconservatives.

What is important is not what political party or
candidate that we support, but that we support
truth wherever we find it.
Most people are confused about this.
If truth is on Trump’s side, and you
support truth, people see it as supporting
Trump.
This shows how politicized and emotional
American thinking has become.
Andrew McCabe, former acting director of
the FBI, has made it clear that the FBI, the
Democratic Party, US media, former CIA director
John Brennan, former director of National
Intelligence James Clapper, and the US
Department of Justice (sic) were, and are,
involved in a plot to remove President Trump
from office.
The fraudulent “Steele Dossier” is the
basis for the fraudulent “Russiagate”
investigation.
A number of laws have been violated by
those involved in the plot.
For example, spy warrants were obtained
from the FISA court under false pretense, and
there is little, if any, doubt that Brennan,
Comey, Rosenstein, and Mueller are guilty of
sedition and conspiracy against the President of
the United States.
By demanding that these government
officials be held accountable, we defend truth
and the rule of law, not Trump.
Russiagate is a hoax, but the INF treaty and the
open plot to overthrow Venezuelan democracy are
not hoaxes.
These, not conspiring with Putin, are the
crimes for which Trump should be held
accountable.
