What Else Could US Military Prevent
The Choice Between Plague and Cholera
As Germans put it in 2016 the US election is again a choice between Pest [plague] und Cholera. The odds-on favorite = the MICIMATT & enablers of genocide/fans of torture. My God! Are we the fearful, sheepishly submissive Germans of WWII? Only 6 weeks left!

The Pentagon vs the Hawks
Trump and the Intelligence Community
“The Intelligence Community has six ways from Sunday to get back at you if you foolishly take it on”: Sen Schumer to Maddow 1/3/17 https://youtube.com/watch?v=4Py25LPuv-c But Trump & Vance loudly threaten to clean out the rot. What is likely to happen this time? Nima & I:
Hillary Flip Flops on RT
Hillary once gave RT high praise: March 2, 2011: “The Russians have opened up an English language network. I’ve seen … and it’s quite instructive.” http://businessinsider.com/hillary-clinton-al-jazeera-2011-3 Perhaps too “instructive”? Hillary to Maddow Monday: Indict Americans who help RT.
The Pentagon Applies the Breaks
FINALLY the Pentagon is applying the brakes to the delusional Antony Blinkens, Volodymyr Zelenskys & Boris Johnsons of this world. Biden has blinked on use of longer-range missiles. Putin spokesman Peskov: Putin VERY deliberate responding to such measures.
Blinken Blinks
Blinken Blinks; Boris Johnson & Zelensky Commiserate: WH announced it “takes seriously” Putin’s warning yesterday of direct war with NATO/US, and so “there’s no change to our limits on long-range strike capability inside Russia”. Finally, guts in Pentagon?
Provoking Putin with Longer-range Missiles

Another American Coed Killed by Israeli Sniper; “Israel is Investigating”
The first few minutes of my most recent “President’s Weekly Briefing” Monday focused on the typically limp response of the State Department to murder in the West Bank of Aysenur Eygi, yet another American woman shot in the head by an Israeli sniper on Friday, Sept. 6. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/09/10/israel-idf-operations-blinken-response-american-death/ American journalist Shireen Akleh was killed with a bullet through her head, by an Israeli sniper in the West Bank city of Jenin on July 6, 2022.
I told “President Scheer” on Sept. 9, that Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s spokesman had already trivialized the murder, leaving it to the Israelis to investigate. (It was not beyond hope, I thought, that someone with a conscience would give the real Biden an honest account of what happened, and that he might react appropriately.)

But the following day (Tuesday) Biden said it was his “understanding that American Aysenur Eygi was shot accidentally as a result of a ricochet.” On Tuesday evening, he said “a preliminary investigation has indicated that it was the result of a tragic error” and that he expects the Israeli investigation to continue.
On Wednesday, Biden called the shooting “totally unacceptable”, but added again that “the US government has full access to Israel’s preliminary investigation, and expects continued access”.
Don’t hold your breath.
