LD:  In accordance with our policy of posting anti-Trump articles followed by pro-Trump ones, and vice versa, here is an article by Ron Paul that belongs firmly in the pro-Trump category. It argues that Trump is doing the right thing but that the appointees in his administration keep undermining him at every turn, throwing a spanner in the works. Which naturally raises the question: why keep appointing the wrong people, or, having appointed such no-gooders, why not just get rid of them? Or is it simply a question of the President having to work under considerable constraints, given the vast array of hostile forces ranged against him?  

National Security Advisor John Bolton • President Donald Trump • Secretary of State Mike Pompeo

Are President Trump’s senior cabinet members working against him? It’s hard not to conclude that many of the more hawkish neocons that Trump has (mistakenly, in my view) appointed to top jobs are actively working to undermine the president’s stated agenda. Especially when it seems Trump is trying to seek dialogue with countries the neocons see as adversaries needing to be regime-changed.  Read More

“The constant stream of gratuitous lies and military exercises on our border have convinced Russia that the West intends war. The consequence will be the total destruction of the United States and its puppets.” — Vladimir Putin, recent response to the Trump regime’s recent aggressive sanctions war Read More

A Lively Off-Topic Debate by Darkmoon Commenters

(Posted here for reference purposes)

SISTER MONICA: Lasha Darkmoon has gone missing, temporarily I hope, and so I’ve been asked to stand in for her this weekend by editing these horrendous comments into some kind of article. My job is not to take sides but simply to let the comments speak for themselves. The article has had to be edited for brevity because otherwise it would be too long. No doubt I will be accused of dishonest editing, but this is par for the course. In the world I inhabit, I have becomes stoically inured to the showers of spittle constantly aimed at my face by the atrabiliously inclined — by “the mad, bad, and dangerous to know”.

IS THE DARKMOON SITE A ZIONIST FRONT RUN BY EVIL JEWS?

“Darkmoon appears to be a Jewish operation. I am leaving the site. If that’s what you’ve wanted to achieve – Mission Accomplished.  You are more of a liar and a hypocrite. Very Jewish I might say. That explains your liking of abusers. You have quite a bunch of them on the site. Encouraged by ADMIN. That says all one needs to know.”

— FREYA, an angry and disillusioned commenter.

Our society should’ve collapsed by now. You know that, right?

No society should function with this level of inequality.  Sixty-three percent of Americans can’t afford a $500 emergency. Yet Amazon head Jeff Bezos is now worth a record $141 billion. He could literally end world hunger for multiple years and still have more money left over than he could ever spend on himself. Read More

Fictions of fake history are strangling humanity

“Those who control the present control the past
and those who control the past control the future.”
— George Orwell

You can see how this self-imposed myth that we are the policeman of the world has melted into a giant pool of blood produced by endless war supposedly waged for good but producing nothing but evil — corruption and violence at home and disruption and death everywhere else. Read More

Nothing has changed under Trump or is likely to change. He is not America’s new Messiah,  nor is he doing anything to “make America great again.”

“Trump has done little to unmake the existing order…. He has been unwilling and unable to extricate the US from the political mess of his predecessors…. The overwhelming reality is that ‘chaos’ is like foam on a stale beer: very few, if any, changes have taken place.”  — James Petras
