The latest Deep Throat War in Washington bears all the elements of an epic of the genre.\u00a0<em>Fear: Trump in the White House<\/em>, by Bob Woodward, who remains an associate editor at the Washington Post, will be released next week, on the 17th anniversary of 9\/11.<\/p>\n<p>This, in turn, will divert attention from the fact that the former, Bush era-coined Global War on Terror has metastasized into an all-American Rebels With A Cause special, featuring support for the \u201cmoderate rebels\u201d al-Qaeda in Syria, former Jabhat al-Nusra, now Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of <em>Fear<\/em>, a Deep Throat surged out of nowhere in the form of an anonymous Op-Ed in the New York Times, which spilled the beans on Trumpian chaos in the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Post-modern cynics were left wondering if this one-two walks and talks like a tie-in, it must be a tie-in. The Washington Post is the property of multi-billionaire Jeff \u201cAmazon\u201d Bezos\u00a0and it has been on a permanent collision course with President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>And yet the Post may be seething now because Deep Throat, this time around, actually helped the competition. Adding insult to injury, the Times timed the release of its bombshell Op-Ed for the day after the Post\u2019s strategic \u201cleak\u201d of Woodward\u2019s book.<\/p>\n<p>The heart of the matter is that the possible tie-in plays to the simple premise \u2013 extolling the role of a small \u201cresistance\u201d or the good guys. They are driven to protect \u201cour values\u201d and \u201cour institutions\u201d from dangerously chaotic Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Resistance\u2019 runs amok in the US Deep Throat War Bob Woodward\u2019s book and the \u2018resistance\u2019 op-ed look increasingly like a sophisticated psy-ops scheme and a prelude for a \u2018Deep State\u2019 coup The New York Times front page, dated August 9, 1974, on President Richard Nixon&#8217;s resignation.
