A black comedy, for sure, but still. As both the Skripal novichok \u2018poisoning\u2019 case in Britain and the \u2018chemical attack\u2019 in Douma, Syria fall flat on their faces on a total and absolute lack of evidence, it\u2019s becoming clear that western \u2018authorities\u2019 are not at all planning to let go of the privilege that in times gone by allowed them to claim whatever they wanted and demand to be believed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">And despite the insane amounts of spying that underlies their business models and will lead to their demise(s), here is where social media do play a decisive role. See, if you\u2019re an \u2018authority\u2019, there\u2019s nothing you would rather do than to close down those social media that let people spread news that contradicts and\/or doubts what you just said, and undermines that privilege. But that also would mean you can\u2019t spy on them anymore through social media. A toss-up?!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Whatever the outcome will be, it\u2019s obvious that Donald Trump is having war talks with his military and closest advisers. And they can basically tell him anything, he\u2019s not a military man. Which is fine, Lincoln wasn\u2019t either. But it does mean he\u2019s vulnerable to narratives and briefings that are simply not true. Lincoln went to great lengths to surround himself with people who could trust.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">What about Trump? Does he know that, as Paul Craig Roberts said on Twitter yesterday ..<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><i>The Russians know that they can, at will within a few minutes, sink the entire US fleet, destroy every US airplane &amp; ship in the ME &amp; within range of the ME, completely destroy all of Israel\u2019s military capability &amp; wipe out the military of the two-bit punk state of Saudi Arabia.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hot War and Cold Markets This is turning into a comedy.
