Palaver and Parable: Trump’s Babble

“All lies and jests Still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest” “The Boxer,” Paul Simon Listening to Donald Trump is like staring at a record spinning on a turntable and finding your mind spinning with your eyes. Something playing here makes you feel crazy, not in the Patsy Cline sense of her singing “Crazy” about lost love, but in the sense of the song’s original title – “Stupid” – according to Willy Nelson, who wrote it. Trump is like the mobster Vincent Gigante who walked around Greenwich Village in slippers, pajamas, and a bathrobe in an effort to convince federal prosecutors that he was crazy. Trump’s babble is a similar act. Only a very stupid person would be fooled by it. The Iranians are not stupid, nor should we be. His latest palaver came yesterday morning when, after days of threatening to “obliterate” Iran’s power grid if it didn’t open the Strait of Hormuz within forty-eight hours, he now says he is postponing such strikes for five days since the U.S. and Iran have held “productive conversations.” He said: I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions. Shortly after, Iran denied any such negotiations were taking place. Iranian PRESSTV’s headline read: “We negotiate with enemies with impact-driven strikes,” as it pounded Israel with waves of missiles. One’s forgettery would have to be operating at full-speed to forget Trump’s past use of “negotiations” as a cover for attacking Iran. He is a treacherous liar and this is probably another blatant delaying tactic that will last a day or two or maybe even five. This becomes especially true as Simplicius and others report that the U.S 82nd Airborne “have gotten their deployment papers,” and Marines are heading for Iran and that Pakistan may be secretly staging U.S. troops to enter Iran from the east. On February 27, the day before the US/Israel attacked Iran, I asked “Is it just a coincidence that as Trump amasses military strike forces to the west and south of Iran, Pakistan attacks Afghanistan, which countries line the 950 mile eastern border of Iran?” In response to such attacks, Trump said, “Pakistan [that has 170 or so nuclear warheads] is doing terrifically well.” When the U.S. mainstream press reports that Trump is weighing his options for troops inside Iran, you can be quite certain he has already decided to do so. I have just heard from a friend that his military son has gotten all his shots and his unit is being deployed. To where? He can’t say. This war is moving inexorably toward a most dangerous phase, and as Americans and growing numbers of U.S. soldiers oppose it, the chance of a false flag attack in the U.S. to generate outrage toward Iran from Americans grows with it. Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern has just warned of that possibility. For years, the general consensus among the mainstream and the independent media has been that Trump’s rise twice to the presidency has been a break with tradition because he is so bizarre a character with no political experience, etc. This assessment has come from those who love or hate him. I have argued the opposite for years: that he is an establishment figure from the start, dressed in costume, so to speak. Few have agreed. I recently wrote: Some say that is because he is a complete anomaly and was able to twice become president by some strange twist of fate. If that is so, it would be the first and second time in modern history that it happened. A man with no political experience, a comical reality-tv joke, a bombastic fat party boy with weird dyed hair who talks like a version of an East Coast Valley Girl, a womanizer, a very wealthy New York real estate wheeler and dealer, etc. gets the votes of middle Americans who are losing their farms and factory jobs and are angry at the government. All sorts of explanations have been given for this “anomaly,” except that it was not one, except in appearance. Now it seems that others may be coming around to the same opinion. In a recent article, Seeing Trump Clearly, Craig Murray, the former British diplomat, author, and Scottish human rights activist, who attended and reported on Julian Assange’s extradition trial, wrote: It is comforting to see Trump as a buffoon, to accept the facade he presents of a blustering and ill-educated ignoramus, who swings wildly between policy options, and who does not understand the world of geopolitics. But that is nonsense. Although Trump seems to be a clown, Murray says, it would be a terrible mistake to take seeming for being, for Trump is vicious and very dangerous and wholly intent on destroying the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, Iran and the Iranians, while supporting Israel’s takeover of Lebanon and Syria for Greater Israel and the United States. Yes, it is true that Trump and his venal family are also making a financial killing swinging deals throughout the Middle East, but his policies are part of a long-term U.S. strategy. Most importantly, Murray writes [my emphasis]: It is essential not to lose sight of the bipartisan nature of the United States’ long term plan. In a very real sense Trump is continuing – if greatly accelerating – the policy under Biden, who protected and enabled the Genocide in Gaza. The success of this US policy is phenomenal. Just consider that only 18 months ago the Zionist “Presidents” al-Jolani of Syria and Aoun of Lebanon were not in power. Both were brought to power as a result of US-aligned military action, by Israel against Hezbollah and by the CIA- and MI6-sponsored HTS forces. Put in place by Biden, they are now central to Trump’s strategy. The same could be said for the bipartisan nature of the U.S. strategy toward the Ukrainian proxy war against Russia and the aggressive moves toward China, forecast ten years ago by the late great journalist John Pilger with his powerful documentary, The Coming War on China. The other evening a man went for a walk around his residential neighborhood in a small very liberal (Democratic Party ) New England town. He encountered no one except a squirrel, a few crows, and a host of black vultures circling overhead. As he was turning back home, a man emerged from the side door of a large house that had been posting the Ukrainian flag since February 2022. He recognized the man as the one who had donated a large cache of books about the CIA, Russia, Philip Agee (former CIA dissident), etc. to the local library. The man started scattering jelly beans on the lawn. The walker asked him what he was doing and the man said he was doing it to keep the Iranians from invading. The walker said, “But the Iranians aren’t invading.” To which the man replied, “See, it’s working. The Russians are afraid of jelly beans.” Thanks for reading...

Remember 2022 when Russia started this round of the war by invading Ukraine to de-Nazify it? How did that work out? One excellent way to collapse the Ukr regime and de-Nazify the hell out of the region might have been to cut off Ukr’s energy supply or stop paying them to transit the oil to Europe. How did that work out? Do these anomalies not pique your curiosity? Do you read the excellent work of Riley Waggaman? I recommend it to you. So Climate change, sustainability, and protecting the environment must be a joke. These fkrs are destroying everything: the planet, our kids, our minds, our pockets, our freedom, our supposed rights. The fat, orange fkr and his band of arseholes and Zionist advisers might be saying, ‘look Donald, we have you on our Epstein (Mossad) tapes, shagging all those trafficked women and kids, and you just need to do what you’re told.’, my opinion of course. But its all becoming more and more obvious. Either our leaders are psycho morons or aliens, there is no other choice. Lol – 77th alert much? “Hello fellow humans let’s all go hate on Trump for being evil and dissing climate change” 🤣🤣🤣 When you consider what it is at stake for the US should the Iranians stick to their Non-Negotiable List, you’ll realise Trump The Resolute is ‘jammed between a rock and a hard place’. So to remain Global Hegemon the US has no choice but to bomb Iran’s energy infrastructure thus triggering Iran’s stated intention to destroy the oil infrastructure and de-sal plants of all the US vassals in the ME, and especially damage further The Only ME Democracy – (Yes, even perfidious Is***l will be sacrificed !)… Trump The Resolute is praying Iran will give the US a small concession so the US can “Withdraw With Honour” ( as per Vietnam), and then rely on The Only Democracy In The ME to carry-on The Good Fight, same as it uses Ukraine to fight The Russians… So this might be The Last Easter when i can use my own money to buy Easter eggs (chocolate — of course. None of those Unhealthy Sugary ones we used to love when kids), and Hot Cross buns, both which i expect will be banned in The New World Order because they’re a Threat To The Planet, or which i cant afford because my UBI barely covers my basic vittle purchases… I keep wondering what it will take for some of you “existential war” believers to address all the evidence that fatally undermines this hypothesis. It’s abundantly clear at this point, as observed by multiple OffG authors and commenters, that this war was conceived, not to be won by either side, but to serve an agenda, and that agenda is equally clearly the very same one that covid was contrived to serve. Your life will be directly affected by this agenda my friend, whether you choose to ignore it or not. Allowing yourself to be fatally distracted by the vague and elusive stories of war is doing exactly what “they” want from you. I recall reading a book that said “By their actions ye shall know Them.” President Trump The Resolute has shown himself to be more perfidious than Albion… I still get a bit of a laugh at his babbling as i did watching watching The Three Stooges. But when they kicked, hit, punched, twisted each others noses, they were funny… Trump The Resolute makes me laugh the way i do when demented people. do their thing. Nowadays i think of Trump The Resolute’s favourite saying whenever he babbles: “Sad.” Of course you get a laugh out of Trump’s babbling. That’s what he’s there for! To provide laughs and rage bait for the Left and stupid MAGA soundbites for the deluded elements of the Right. Congratulations, you’re responding right on cue as anticipated. I don’t think they will put troops on the ground in Iran, they are just keeping people on the edge of their seats regarding escalation just like they did in Ukraine. It is theatre to give the illusion of a real war, but they are getting everything they want from this psyop at the moment – shutting down the oil trade and wrecking the global economy while spreading fear and bringing in new totalitarian legislation. Getting thousands of troops killed will bring too much backlash They don’t have to deploy real troops any more than they need to lay real mines. The media narrative that they are there will do as much as is needed. Remember neither side is trying to win. This article should cheer up those who believe that this scripted pantomime is the real deal. C’mon, the more contradictory childish rantings that emanate from the gob of the Tango Man should raise suspiscions to the authenticity of the whole charade. If that isn’t enough, the Iranians then come back with their one liners and snide remarks. Do people not remember how domestic and international diplomacy used to be conducted? Carefully chosen words and statements designed to convey messages without causing offence, checked over carefully to ensure that there were no misunderstandings. A time when the public, pre-internet, ironically with less information at their fingertips were more discerning and questioning. The current behaviour is symptomatic of the reality TV world of lowest common denominator entertainment, now transcribed into the real world. We are now seemingly living in an actor based reality. The overlords do not care to disguise their disdain for the masses, passing off this Punch and Judy show as so-called geopolitics. Pushing the envelope ever more from the sublime to the ridiculous. I think that they want some of us to know that this is a scripted farce. It also seems to me that they did such a good job of dumbing society down, particularly in the West, that too many people are now beyond reach. The “war” is a farce with narratives so sparse, contradictory and absurd they could only convince people who have surrendered all their critical faculties to fanatical belief. Having watched the political theatre of USUK (pron. “you-suck”) for many years, I note that the faces change, yet the underlying trajectory remains the same. Seeking the removal of a government implies that the next government will be “better” in some way. It never is, and hopes are dashed once again. Frank Zappa nailed it when he said: “Politics is the entertainment division of the military-industrial (medical) complex”. Yep. The real Movers and Shakers are sitting back with their Dom Perignon and Beluga and enjoying the $hit$how. As they always have.
