A
Military Junta is Now Ruling the United States
Notes On The Junta, An Unnecessary Land-Corridor
And A Regular Russian Maneuver

- According
to a 1950s political theory
The Structure of Power in American Society
is mainly built on three elite groups,
the high military, the corporation executives
and the political directorate. (The "political
directorate" can best be described as the
bureaucracy, the CIA and their proxies within
Congress.)
On election day I noted that only the military
had supported
The Not-Hillary President.
The corporate and executive corners of the
triangle had pushed for Hillary Clinton and
continued to do so even after Trump had won.
(Only recently did the "collusion with Russia"
nonsense suddenly die down.) I wrote:
The
military will demand its due beyond the
three generals now in Trump's cabinet.
That turned out to be right. A
military junta is now ruling
the United States:
Inside
the White House, meanwhile, generals
manage Trump’s hour-by-hour interactions
and whisper in his ear — and those whispers,
as with the decision this week to expand
U.S. military operations in Afghanistan,
often become policy.
At
the core of Trump’s circle is a seasoned
trio of generals with experience as
battlefield commanders: White House Chief of
Staff John F. Kelly, Defense Secretary Jim
Mattis and national security adviser H.R.
McMaster. The three men have
carefully cultivated personal relationships
with the president and gained his
trust.
...
Kelly, Mattis and McMaster are not the only
military figures serving at high levels in
the Trump administration. CIA Director Mike
Pompeo, Attorney General Jeff Sessions,
Energy Secretary Rick Perry and Interior
Secretary Ryan Zinke each served in various
branches of the military, and Trump recently
tapped former Army general Mark S. Inch to
lead the Federal Bureau of Prisons. [...]
the National Security Council [..] counts
two other generals on the senior staff.
With the firing of the renegade Flynn and
various other Trump advisors, the Junta has
already removed all independent voices in the
White House. It is now
attaching more
control wires to its "salesperson" marionette:
The
new system, laid out in two memos
co-authored by [General] Kelly and Porter
and distributed to Cabinet members and White
House staffers in recent days, is designed
to ensure that the president won’t see any
external policy documents, internal policy
memos, agency reports, and even news
articles that haven’t been vetted.
Trump
has a weakness for the military since he
attended a New York military academy during his
youth.

But he
does not like to be controlled. I expect him to
revolt one day. He will then find that it is too
late and that he is actually powerless.

The Zionist propaganda is
claiming that
Iran is taking over Syria and that its sole
concern is to create a land-corridor between
Iran and Lebanon. The AP is now reporting this
myth as if it
were fact. The argument the AP writers
make is
illogical and fails:
The
land-route would be the biggest prize yet
for Iran in its involvement in Syria's
six-year-old civil war. [...] It
would facilitate movement of Iranian-backed
fighters between Iran, Iraq, Syria and
Lebanon as well as the flow of weapons to
Damascus and Lebanon's Hezbollah,
Iran's main proxy group.
That
landline would facilitate something that,
according to further AP "reporting", has already
been achieved without it:
The
route is largely being carved out by Iran's
allies and proxies, a mix of forces
including troops of Syrian President Bashar
Assad, Hezbollah fighters and Shiite
militias on both sides of the border aiming
to link up. Iran also has forces of its own
Revolutionary Guard directly involved in the
campaign on the Syrian side.
So,
apparently, Iran needs a land corridor to move
weapons and fighters to Syria and Lebanon. To
open that currently closed-off land corridor it
has moved weapons and fighters to Syria and
Lebanon. Somehow that argument is not convincing
at all.

The usual NATO propaganda outlets are
retching up
fear over an upcoming Russian maneuver:
Russia
is preparing to mount what could be one of
its biggest military exercises since the
cold war, a display of power that will be
watched warily by Nato against a backdrop of
east-west tensions.
Western officials and analysts estimate up
to 100,000 military personnel and logistical
support could participate in the Zapad
(West) 17 exercise, which will take place
next month in Belarus, Kaliningrad and
Russia itself.
It follows a lot of speculation and obvious
bullshit.
In reality
Zaphad is a series of smaller maneuvers taking
place over some six month. It includes local
police and civil defense agencies which lets the
numbers look big. Each year such maneuvers take
place in one of the four military districts of
Russia. The number of soldiers at the core of
the exercise will amount to about a division
size force of 13,000-15,000 troops. Nothing,
absolutely nothing, is unusual with that
maneuver but the NATO propaganda attempts to
make it look like an imminent Russian invasion
of western Europe.
