To delay for a micro-moment the end

--- of the Petro-Dollar,

--- of brutal punitive sanctions,

--- of the IMF & World Bank as tools of Unconventional Warfare (as taught at our schools of international terrorism - 1st and foremost the School of the Americas SOTA , now franchised worldwide) as revealed by Wikileaks.

To effect this delay Biden has approached Prince Bonesaw with an offer of Nukes (uranium enrichment capacity) - if he'll stay with the Petro-Dollar thing. Now of course the Saudis need Nukes as: a) Trump1/Biden reneged on Obama's excellent Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty with Iran; so Iran will have Nukes and b) Israel has Nukes.

It's made even worse by the incestuousness of the Beltway. With my own eyes I have seen politicians, staffers, etc romantically involved with reporters. I have seen senior correspondents and the subjects they cover side by side cheering their children at St. Albans sporting events. As George Carlin once said, "It's a big club, and you ain't in it!"

Amazing. Thanks for adding this, Brian. Care to name names?

If it were the late 1980s, sure, but at this point in time and over the internet no. The DC journalist establishment has continued this tradition by helping the Biden administration cover up his dementia. We also haven't been seeing stories from the Capitol Hill pharmacist either.

The obvious sequel is what else, for the US government to sign a treaty with Saudi Arabia promising to defend it against all attacks. Gotta be a way to include protection from lawsuits, right Joe Biden?

I think that's in the works.

My formative years featured two events, the JFK assassination and the Vietnam War which led to a deluge of government lying.

The definitive compendium of lies about the JFK assassination is the "Warren Commission Report", https://www.archives.gov/research/jfk/warren-commission-report. What I conclude from that document is that several of the individuals responsible for the assassination were members of that commission.

Vietnam is another rich trove of government bullshit. Let me point out one egregious justification for marching my young butt off to the jungle: "The Domino Theory." For anyone younger than fifty the "Domino Theory" is getting dusted off again for the Ukraine conflict. Ya know, we better march on Moscow before Russian hordes sweep through Oslo, Munich, Vienna, and Milan!

I encourage skepticism about our government's motivation. Resource rich foreign places leave our billionaires salivating for conquest. Those people are the motivators, not us.
