Hillary Demands Even More Russia Escalations From Trump Administration
HELP ENLIGHTEN YOUR FELLOWS. BE SURE TO PASS THIS ON. SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON IT.
"We are being dragged into something horrific and unthinkable by blinkered Democrats and myopic Republicans..."
You have to wonder what’s going to happen in November. The establishment Russia narrative is still completely devoid of any hard evidence that the Russian government interfered in America’s 2016 elections in any meaningful way, and we’re being told with steadily increasing shrillness that Russia is also definitely guilty of future meddling in this year’s midterm elections as well.
We need to ask ourselves: is there in fact anything that Russia can do to avoid being accused of election meddling in November by a power establishment that has an extensive history of using lies, propaganda and false flags to manufacture support for aggressions against a target of the empire? If Russia stays as far away from that election as possible, will we still receive as we did in 2016 completely unsubstantiated reports from the lying, torturing, surveilling, coup-staging US intelligence community that the Russians meddled in the election anyway?
If so, what then?
I’m going to write about Hillary Clinton again. Not because I want to, but because I have to.
Whenever I write anything about the evil things that Clinton has done and continues to do, I always get a mad rush of Democratic party sycophants falling all over themselves to inform me that Hillary isn’t president and asking why I pick on this poor powerless old woman when a schizophrenic Kremlin agent/literal Nazi is sitting in the White House. I’ve long ago stopped wasting my energy showing my detractors how I do in fact criticize the actions of the current administration constantly, but I would like to point out that Clinton’s tweet demanding more escalations against Russia from the Trump administration received over 14,000 shares in just seven hours. Articles focused solely on this one tweet have been published by CNN, The Independent, the New York Post, AOL, Fox News, and many other outlets as of this writing. Clinton remains the single most influential voice in the Democratic party, and to pretend otherwise is willful ignorance.
When Clinton comes out and makes a decree, she is helping to shape a narrative and advance an agenda favored by the Democratic party. When she comes out and says Trump needs to escalate tensions even further with Russia than he already has, it matters.
“I say this as a former Secretary of State and as an American: the Russians are still coming,” Clinton tweeted. “Our intelligence professionals are imploring Trump to act. Will he continue to ignore & surrender, or protect our country?”
Clinton tweeted this with a Washington Post article about comments made by Michael S. Rogers, the NSA Director who infamously insisted that the Russian government had hacked French election infrastructure despite France’s own cybersecurity chief stating that the evidence shows it “could have been practically anyone,” adding that he was “absolutely baffled” by Rogers’ testimony.
The article linked by Clinton focuses on comments made by Rogers in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee that the US is “probably not doing enough” to deter the alleged future cyberattacks by Russia, on the grounds that President Trump has given him no new authorities or capabilities to strike at Russian cyber-operations ahead of the midterms. Rogers testified that he believes Trump’s refusal to grant preemptive cyberattack authorization against Russian cyber-operations has led Vladimir Putin to “come to the conclusion that ‘there’s little price to pay here and therefore I can continue this activity.’”
The Russians are coming. They just come right out and say it now.
These articles are always a hard sell because they point out the omnicidal warmongering of both the Democrats and the Trump administration, so I can’t play on people’s partisan loyalties to get this message out circulating, but this needs to be said, so let’s go through this once again:
Can you imagine Russia bringing war ships into the Gulf of Mexico to counter America’s presence there? How do you think the hysterical cold war climate of today would react to that? What do you think Hillary Clinton would be saying to increase public pressure on Trump to aggressively confront Russia for such a bold move? Trump is marching us closer and closer to a third and final World War, and these psychos are saying he’s not hawkish enough.
Speaking of which, not enough accolades have gone to US-Russian relations expert Stephen Cohen for accurately predicting every step toward doomsday exactly as it has unfolded. Way back in April of 2017 Cohen was on Democracy Now forecasting the way Russiagate would be used to pressure Trump into constantly advancing toward direct military confrontation with a nuclear superpower without ever backing down. In order to fight the politically damaging accusation of being an actual Kremlin puppet, Trump has already just 13 months into his administration escalated tensions with Russia far, far beyond anything his recent predecessors would have ever dreamed of allowing.
Since that time Cohen has remained steadfast in pointing out every step of this march toward Armageddon and how it has been unfolding exactly as predicted, with any inertia toward dangerous escalations with a nuclear superpower being attacked as treason by Democrats like Hillary Clinton and their allied media outlets.
The man has been absolutely prophetic, and it’s time we started listening to him.
We are being dragged into something horrific and unthinkable by blinkered Democrats and myopic Republicans.There are no adults in the room to slam on the brakes. We must all wake up and cry out in one voice to stop this nonsense before we pass the point of no return, in a very real and literal sense.

Parting shot—a word from the editors The Best Definition of Donald Trump We Have Found
In his zeal to prove to his antagonists in the War Party that he is as bloodthirsty as their champion, Hillary Clinton, and more manly than Barack Obama, Trump seems to have gone “play-crazy” -- acting like an unpredictable maniac in order to terrorize the Russians into forcing some kind of dramatic concessions from their Syrian allies, or risk Armageddon.However, the “play-crazy” gambit can only work when the leader is, in real life, a disciplined and intelligent actor, who knows precisely what actual boundaries must not be crossed. That ain’t Donald Trump -- a pitifully shallow and ill-disciplined man, emotionally handicapped by obscene privilege and cognitively crippled by white American chauvinism. By pushing Trump into a corner and demanding that he display his most bellicose self, or be ceaselessly mocked as a “puppet” and minion of Russia, a lesser power, the War Party and its media and clandestine services have created a perfect storm of mayhem that may consume us all.—Glen Ford, Editor in Chief, Black Agenda Report
