There’s a visible twisting of history taking place that’s increasingly obvious within the last few days.  Against all intellectual honesty, an entirely different version of historical reality is being seeded by the media.  Here’s the basic outline:

In general terms it goes like this – Vladimir Putin, the global villain and Machiavellian nemesis of freedom, wanted to undermine NATO and find a way to take control of the world, starting with Europe.  As such he schemed to seed the origin of ISIS in Syria so that he could begin killing them and driving a mass exodus of Syrian Muslims into Europe.  According to the conspiracy, Putin knew if he forced enough Muslims into the EU it would disrupt society and create the chaos he needs to undermine NATO.   That’s the current version of the Media story.

However, what the insufferable leftist narrative avoids, is something called reality.

The reality is: President Obama went to Cairo Egypt in 2009 and told the Muslim world that America’s political approach for the past decade was wrong.  Obama apologized for our meddling efforts.  President Obama then told the entire Middle East audience the U.S. would no longer protect Arab dictators, thereby seeding the ‘Islamist Spring’ uprisings which followed.

When five exiled leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood were kicked out of Qatar, the government of Turkey took them in.  Turkey has also been identified as providing direct support to ISIS in Northern Syria.  In addition when Russia began attacking ISIS Turkey shot down a Russian fighter jet.
Turkish President Recep Erdogan sanctions these actions, and yet Turkey remains a member of NATO.
Today the Russian ambassador to Turkey was shot dead by a Turkish police officer at an art gallery in Ankara.   Ambassador Andrey Karlov, 62, was repeatedly shot at close range by a gunman shouting: ‘Allahu Akbar (God is Great). We die in Aleppo, you die here!’

The shooter has been named on social media as Mevlüt Mert Altıntaş, 22, a police officer from the Ankara police special forces department.

Retired Admiral James Stavridis talks to the media about the meeting with Donald Trump and the Trump transition team today in HQ.  The media frame this meeting as Stavridis floated as potential cabinet pick. WE DOUBT.

Stavridis was former head of NATO Allied Command during the most consequential NATO intervention in the Mid-East. The Obama/Clinton/Panetta NATO attack against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.  It was Stavridis who coordinated the intervention on behalf of the U.S. State Department, CIA, White House and French leader Nicolas Sarzoky.
Hopefully, this meeting was simply to gain Stavridis perspective on the construct of the current NATO architecture.   Admiral Stavridis is an interventionist’s globalist.

When Donald Trump proposed a simple border wall and tighter immigration enforcement, a gobsmacked “conservative” electorate were stunned to see the entire political universe of people, who most thought would align with such basic tenets, flip 180° and begin stating: “walls don’t work”, “we need open borders”, and “deportations are unfair”….

In July 2015 it was weird to see the “conservative” pundits and professional class expose their true intents so quickly.

Many couldn’t fathom what they were witnessing.  We called this the “Trump Effect”.

In essence Trump exposes the hypocritical nature of the deceivers simply by affirming an intent to give them what they’ve advocated for.  In doing so Trump puts sunlight on their hidden ideology, and forces them out of the shadows.

Remarkably, Trump is doing it again with comments about NATO, Turkey, the EU and a reconsideration of the U.S. role in Europe.

It’s simply an incredible thing to witness.

If we follow the current Democrat arguments to their logical conclusion, we now see liberals shifted to demanding a war against Russia, because Turkey via Erdogan has gone full Islamist and is also a NATO “ally”.

The latest Islamic Jihad attack against Western values took place yesterday in Nice, France.  Eye witnesses have reported the driver of the truck specifically targeted families with children, steering into them for maximum Jihadist terror value.  At least 80 men, women and children have been slaughtered.

Two weeks before yesterday, the attack location was an Istanbul Turkey, airport.  Last month it was an Orlando, Florida, nightclub.  In the month prior it was Brussels, and before that San Bernardino, and before that Paris, and before that, well, you get the picture… (more…)

Senator Marco Rubiobot reappeared for his first “on camera” interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper since dropping out of the presidential primary race.

[In an effort to recapture some conservative relevancy/credibility, Senator Rubio met with strategic war advocate Mark Levin prior to Jake Tapper]

Delivering and repeating his scripted and well-rehearsed talking points, a trademark of his political career, Rubio dismissed any notion that he would be a vice-presidential pick for Donald Trump and quixotically obfuscated away from any endorsement; preferring instead to repeat the ‘I-signed-a-pledge’ meme ad nauseam.
In essence the former presidential candidate proved in a post-election interview why he never stood a chance in the pre-interview election race.  Some things never change.

The best part of the interview was toward the end.  After Rubio praised NATO and the United Nations Jake Tapper correctly pointed out that Marco Rubio’s foreign policy, and global world view, is essentially identical to Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
The interview became funny because Rubio responded: “but I wanted earlier intervention in Syria”, which left Tapper open to affirm his original framework with the bulls-eye retort: “well, um, so did she” DUH.
After stuttering, Rubiobot quickly moved on…

“America First” is the headline given to today’s Donald Trump foreign policy speech as delivered.  However, many pundits are automatically assigning that reference position to the prior non-interventionist approach held prior to WWII.  This projection is factually false.
“America First” is simply that, a view, a perspective, a filtering prism of consideration for the U.S. role in the world by first thinking strategically about our own national interests.

There’s big business, big money, and big economic globalist influence swirling around all matters of modern U.S. foreign policy.
Few people, and almost no-one in the world of corporate media punditry, really take the conversation high enough to grasp the ultimate ends of any military aspect to foreign policy.  Candidate Donald Trump is the first leader in our lifetime to grasp how economic interests have merged with, and infiltrated the engagement policies of, the U.S. military.
Secondly, the same corporate media who are entwined in the economics of globalization, have been selling a false narrative about Secretary Hillary Clinton.  According to the media Secretary Clinton’s strength is ‘foreign policy’; this is pure professional gaslighting.
Hillary Clinton is more vulnerable on her failed tenure as America’s top diplomat than any other aspect of her presidential bid. (more…)

“You don’t lead by pointing and telling people some place to go. You lead by going to that place and making a case.” – Ken Kesey

(Via Foreign Policy) Donald Trump has spent much of his campaign deriding NATO allies for “ripping off” the American taxpayer and failing to contribute to the world’s most powerful military alliance. But on Wednesday, his fellow Republicans joined the chorus during a closed-door meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Capitol Hill, according to sources inside the room.
For under an hour, senators grilled Stoltenberg, a former prime minister of Norway, about why only five members of the 28-nation club spend at least 2 percent of their gross domestic product on defense, the official amount NATO recommends each nation set aside. Some expressed particular dissatisfaction with Germany, the fourth largest economy in the world, which does not meet the 2 percent threshold.

How dare he.  Just, well, how dare he.  That’s the takeaway sense you get when you review the New York Times framing of a two hour ‘on-the-record’ interview with Donald Trump referencing a world-view and foreign policy outlook.
It is refreshing, and it is bizarre we can even use the word “refreshing“, to see an American candidate for the American Presidency, say their goal is to actually put America-first in all policy decisions.
It’s not protectionism, it’s patriotism.
It’s not isolationism, it’s common sense.
Almost all of Europe and most of Asia are capable of spending Trillions of dollars on their infrastructure, Airports, bullet-trains, high-speed rail, bridges, ‘Chunnels’, and the list goes on…. quite simply because they don’t spend much on their own national defense, and prefer to hide behind our military apron when needed.
To pay for this enomorus international military/police force, and overly generous commitment, we, in turn, put ourselves into debt and can’t spend on our own domestic needs.   This is not international economic theory, it’s a reality – and for the first time in decades a politician is saying enough is enough.   Charity begins at home!
