Philip Giraldi – The Unz Review Dec 17, 2020
It has already been observed that Joe Biden’s incoming cabinet looks a bit like old wine in new bottles, drawing as it does on veterans from the Barack Obama and even the Bill Clinton administrations. That’s the bad news as it very much looks like business as usual as the Military-Industrial-Congressional-Wall Street kleptocracy is reasserting itself and will be in place for the next four years. Which is not to say that the Donald Trump version thereof was a whole lot different, but Trump was erratic enough to make the power brokers in America nervous, which was presumably enough reason to possibly rig the election and get rid of him.
The four key appointees to the new administration in terms of how the United States confronts the world are the Secretaries of State and Defense, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and the National Security Advisor. All of Biden’s picks are, if not completely hawkish, at least dedicated to the notion that the U.S. should be actively pre-emptively engaged in democracy promotion and liberal interventionism. If a little regime change is needed here and there, so be it. General Lloyd Austin, who may have trouble in getting confirmed by the Senate as Secretary of Defense, Tony Blinken, Secretary of State presumptive, and DNI Avril Haines have all been involved in making money out of the defense/national security establishment since they have been out of office. There is an assumption among ex-officials in the United States government that lobbying one’s former colleagues to buy products or services that are not needed is a perfectly legitimate semi-retirement avocation. Some, however, do not see it that way and General Austin’s service on the board of major defense contractor Raytheon may have crossed the red line, even for those who are accustomed to looking the other way when corruption looms.
It is assumed that the former torture-prison chief and currently Director of CIA Gina Haspel will be fired either by Donald Trump or by Biden, meaning that that position will also be vacant, likely to be filled by another friend of Clinton/Obama. David Cohen, a former analyst has been spoken of as the likely candidate. He previously served as a widely acknowledged utterly incompetent and out of place Director of Operations, appointed by Barack Obama in 2015 even though he had no real experience in intelligence operations, much less in running the Agency’s Clandestine Service. Unfortunately, incompetence and irrelevancy have never stopped anyone from moving onward and upward in the U.S. government. Quite the contrary.
Some see a silver lining in the clouds, namely a “return to diplomacy” after the debacle of the belligerent dispensationalist Mike Pompeo. Alas Pompeo for all his bluster has not actually started any new wars, while Blinken was the main man behind the bid to overthrow the Syrian government even though it posed no threat to the United States. He has never apologized for the wars he was involved in under Obama and has only regretted that they were not more successful, so we can safely assume that he will continue to do what he can in support of the globalist agenda as well as for the country that he loves best, which is Israel.
And there are also the somewhat more elusive aspects of Democratic Party leadership thinking that will shape the course of the new Administration. Still simmering hatred for Russia over the phony narrative that the Kremlin was behind the 2016 defeat of the execrable Hillary Clinton means that relations with that country will if anything get worse, particularly if the Clintons continue to be a major driving force behind the Democratic National Committee. And then there is China. There is every indication that the Democrats have bought into the China-bashing initiated by Donald Trump and sustained by the conspiracy theory that Beijing both weaponized a virus to destroy Western democracy and threatens “freedom.” Pentagon plans to build up the U.S. Navy to confront China in its own coastal waters while also reshaping the Marine Corps to equip it with breakthrough guided battlefield weapons to confront the “Yellow Menace” will not be reversed by Biden and company.
It can be taken as a given that the Biden/Harris regime will continue America’s Israel-centric foreign policy but it will be interesting to see if they persevere in the Trump program of bribing fringe Arab states to “recognize” Israel. Up until now, Washington’s buying of desperate regimes has included F-35s for the UAE’s Mohammed bin Zayed, canceling of the inclusion on the economy-brutalizing “State Sponsors of Terrorism” list for the military junta of starving Sudan, and now, uniquely, endorsing Morocco’s 45-year-old sovereignty claim over the Western Sahara, a region that has its own government and has become a member state of the African Union. It has also been diplomatically recognized by 84 other governments represented at the U.N. The U.S. is in addition the only state to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Syrian Golan Heights while also giving the green light to the Jewish state’s stated intention to declare formal sovereignty claim over most of the occupied State of Palestine. It is unlikely that Biden will seek to reverse those sell-outs and he will not move the U.S. Embassy from Jerusalem back to Tel Aviv.
The Israelis have already warned Biden not to re-enter any U.N. human rights organizations or fund the agency that provides relief to Palestinian refugees. They have also advised him against trying to cut any kind of deal with the Iranians, sending the signal that when it comes to Iran, including assassinations, Israel is in charge. And also, the Biden “plan,” if one can dignify it by using that word, to reengage with Iran is a non-starter. American and Israeli belligerency over the past four years has soured the Iranian people on any kind of rapprochement, with conservatives now politically dominant. They will likely sweep the elections scheduled to be held next year. Biden’s intention to get the Iranians to abandon their sophisticated missile weapons program and their support for Syria in addition to reopening their nuclear sites to U.S. inspectors will also go nowhere. Iran will continue to be enemy number one for the Democrats just as it has been for Trump and his principal financial backer Israel-firster casino magnate Sheldon Adelson.
Joe Biden will certainly have to work hard to equal the interventionist policies entertained by his predecessors in office, but he, of course, has had experience both in Congress and as Vice President in shaping those policies and promoting American “exceptionalism” as we have come to know it. And he will be helped along the way by Tony Blinken, Avril Haines, Jake Sullivan and General Lloyd Austin lest he stray from the established path. The fact is that elections change nothing in Washington but the name plates on the doors.

GRAND THEFT AMERICA
General Wesley Clark said quote”We are going to take out 7 countries in 5 years
Iraq Syria Lebanon Libya Somalia Sudan and Iran”
These countries are no threat to the USA, but America has been stolen by thieves
who are using it to conquer the Middle East, Americas only friend in the world is the UK
and there is real fear here of being dragged into more wars.
The UK had millions of people marching in every town and city saying ” no war on the people of Iraq” but still we got involved, and like the USA have masses of ex servicemen
thrown out of their homes onto the street for disobeying the people.
Millions of Middle Eastern people with their families homes and countries infrastructure bombed are being cleared out to cross Europe to the UK, English people are now a minority in their own land.
Only a politician could be that stupid as to import in a huge fifth column like this and have said if Iran is attacked every British person in the UK will be at risk of retaliation.
Politicians dont listen to their electorate but their financial backers, this is a bad choice.
N. Korea have offered nukes many times to Iran and been refused, Russia and China have also offered support, In Hindu tradition these are the end times which the Bible speaks of, America is swimming in very dangerous waters.
“Happy Days “
BEHOLD Biden’s accomplice!
Look at her wannabe confidence and swagger. So enamoured with Fauci and Birx’s propaganda that 220,000,000 America were going to DIE from Corona that she repeats it publicly and without shame.

As far as people go, regardless of what nation they are in, the general consensus is that the US is clearly the most evil empire the world has ever seen. I agree with you about the special relationship between the UK and the US. However, that only reflects both banking dynasties centered in both nations who appear to choose leaders and entire governments in nations all over the earth, and I highly suspect even China is under their control in many respects despite the theatrics. The US, and to a lesser extent, the UK and France, are simply the military muscle to do the dirty work and make the cartel and its chosen more rich and powerful in their global network.
These principal Western nations are only allowed to work for the globalist cause under very tight wraps with the main objective being hegemony by the cartel cabal over global finances and world trade. The cartel even controls elections in India. Their agenda for Africa has always been based on exploitation, subjugation and their is ample evidence of a culling agenda. They use all of crises they have nurtured and created such as fake global warming, displacement of millions for migration, debt-rigging for dependency, terrorism for the surveillance state, flu pandemics for autocratic controls, all for the concentration and consolidation of more and more wealth and power over everything and everyone into their blood-stained and filthy hands.
This division in the human race is becoming more and more clear, and it has now very little to do with any of the borders they are trying to eradicate anyway. I used to trust Putin, but not any more. Like the rest of the puppet world leaders he has played a key roll in the Covid psyop along with even Trump. This psyop is central because it a overture to how things will be run in their planned new-world order. It is the biggest scam in human history signaling a future totalitarian rule by the same monied cartel cabal all based on deception, fear, and oppression.
What do we the common people do? How do we fight this cancer which has taken over our governments and the media everywhere? First with the light of the truth. Essentially, the people running things are nocturnal creatures. Like cockroaches and rats they cannot abide by the light of the truth. When you turn on the lights they all scurry back to the cracks and holes in the walls, to their darkness where they cannot be seen. It is all about waking people up and trying to keep the lights on. Then if you can ever get enough control of your own house, you can get rid of them altogether. Even if they were to have complete control of the wealth of nations and all of our governments, they would have to rule by brainwashing, lies and fear and the truth which makes us free would always be there as their greatest enemy ready at any time threatening to break its chains and cast them out. That is why they are purging the internet from all opposition.
Liberty and justice they can always manipulate but only if they can subvert and distort the truth. What follows truth and full disclosure is real free choice which is true liberty, and from there major decision making is no longer exclusive to the few. That is why they are also systematically killing democracy everywhere. But it all depends on the truth getting out. Ironically the Covid deception has awoken the truth in us, exposing them, and it is now spreading like an unstoppable plague deadly to only them who live in lies and darkness.
Biden thought Bush was President, so, if he gets in, the USA has no President until they kill him, and then you get a smirking prostitute, still no President, and the four years of campaigning, which is what happens these days, were all a waste of everybody’s time.
Read the Economist Magazine 2021 – the Rothschild dynasty mouthpiece
Endorses Biden by placing him in all sorts of geopolitical rolls for 2021;
Expects Biden to be tough on Iran and Syria;
Announces big Asian development future;
Indicates that everything is on tack for its prodigies China and Israel with the “Health Silk Road” (the Belt & Road Initiative – hundreds of billions already spent on road from China to the ME likely for the greater Israel project to be the hub of all things);
Attacks populism vigorously;
Indicates the usefulness of the Covid lockdowns by citing the control benefits for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán over his people.
Reading the Economist 2021 edition is a very simply exercise in reading between the lines much like what the Russians used to do and probably still do when reading Pravda. All you have to know is the interests of the owner to know what they are up to.
The Rothschild banking dynasty is estimated to control a least three times the world assets its cartel partner the Rockefeller banking dynasty. They are the principal backers of the globalist movement for a global currency to control world finances and to impose of globalist government to enforce trade in the currencies they control.
As it is apparent to most truth seekers by now that these global elites are not only behind Agenda 21/2030 (the Great Reset) but that their fingerprints are all over the Covid 19 Plandemic together with the long-term debt rigging of our Western nations in order to bring us totally under their control.
All of our governments exaggerating death numbers and case numbers in the exact same way now in order to maintain the lockdowns, together with all of the same slogans, speaks of one global centralized control which can only be this very cartel. The WHO controlled by the same cartel changing the definition of the word “pandemic”, the 2010 Rockefeller Corona virus lockstep planning documents, the bazaar Corona virus opening of the 2012 Olympics in London, the series of simulated practice flu pandemic exercises from then to the one in November 2019, plus the cartel supported WEF Reset interests in bringing our systems to a stop for the announced monumental Agenda 21 environmental, technological, and economic Resets currently being launched in our midst to radically change our lives, all such occurrences puts the onus on the cartel to deny they are behind the Covid scam and to prove they are not involved. Of course they will not. To them it does not matter what we know or say, because they just ignore us and do what they want. As far as they are concerned the books between East and West have to be balanced despite their being directly responsible for the mess, and we have to be brought under control Chinese style for their ideas of “sustainable development” meaning “radical population and economic shrinkage”.
They are behind the Covid scam in order to give all of their puppet leaders complete control over us and to rearrange the entire world according to their designs and interests. That should be to us an inconvertible fact.
That Trump and his various populists and patriot supporters interfered with the Rothschild-Rockefeller UN Agenda agenda and the Rothschild timetable to have their world currency in place by the end of 2018 is no secret.
That another term of Trump would not only delay but also threated the cartel Agendas is obvious.
That huge sums of fiat from cartel tentacles, the IMF & the World Bank, and going everywhere to buy the cooperation of entire governments and anyone else useful like with our media to support the Covid psyop and to maintain the restrictions is elementary, first grade common senses.
That being the case, therefore any obstacle to cartel plans is obviously going to be subject to the power of the same unlimited money supplies.
That the US election was rigged is obvious.
That it was rigged to elect Biden who is a globalist is even more obvious.
That the cartel has no respect for populists and the voting people of any nation, including the US.
That people who are not restrained by moral principles always tend to ascend to high places. That the robber barons and bank emperors are amoral in their methods and concentrated and consolidated their vast holdings of wealth and power mainly through unjust means employing deception, intimidation, terror, debt rigging, drug running, slavery, assassinations, coups, terrorism, and wars of conquest and plunder, is history.
That they have used massive deceptions, debt rigging, and pandemic fear mongering to control us for their Agendas is the inescapable conclusion.
That the US deep state and US intelligence agencies are controlled by the cartel is obvious. That they have no regard any more what we think about their blatant elections fixing.
That if they allow Trump to succeed in the courts it will be to continue with the deceptions that our elections are genuine and not fixed, and Trump will do their bidding with respect to Syria and Iran.
That if Trump does not succeed in the courts then the cartel is announcing to the US and the rest of the West that democracy is deal and that they are in complete control of us, that we have no real say in anything important, and that henceforth we shall be ruled by deception, fear mongering, brainwashing and oppression, like in their model nation, China.
Unless, this corrupt ruling regime is overthrown by the people now we will be screwed forever. If we do not resist and fight back now then our lives will be in lockstep to their exclusive and corrupt agendas until most of us are culled away.
Dont get your hopes up.
Expecting the US/UK Axis Of ZOG to be even mildly disturbed – let alone overthrown! – by DUMB Yanks or THICK Brits is as ludicrous as it is laughable.
Fred b. What’s your take on the Bitcoin crypto movement? Confidence is extremely high at the moment, check out Jeff Berwick at ‘The Dollar Vigilante’. I have read somewhere that the Blockchain technology used for crypto was created by the B.I.S. which if true, casts a shadow on the long term future of the movement. Since crypto’s value is measured against ‘fiat’ currencies, once they have been abandoned in favour of totally digital transactions perhaps as a result of The Great Reset, would any such year 0 move render Crypto’s as nothing more than ‘Tulips’?
Easy solution start taking out their top people…….to lunch or something like that.
Street battles like you saw with the early Nazis and Mosley’s mob achieve precisely nothing.
Don’t you get sick of the “one eye” sign/symbolism photo for all the freemasons our politicians/celebrities make for them in the MSM? Bolton always had the one eye pic it seemed. That Crenshaw guy is always doing it! /sarc
