I do believe, now, in the deep state in the US. And that there is
such a thing as fake news.
I think Trump will persevere in the long term but the forces arrayed
against him by the so called "progressives" - who are anything but -
are impressive.
Some observations:
We all agree that Fox News is nothing but a cheer squad for Trump.
However, it is the only one - all other outlets, almost without
exception, are biased against him in every way that counts.
Before Trump made his deal, his momentous meeting, with Kim,
practically every news outlet was beyond scepticism. They were
outright contemptuous. However, when he actually met with Kim, did
the deal, signed the heads of memorandum and so on, even then there
was little or no acclaimation for his work.
Compare that with Obama who got a fucking NOBEL for a stinking speech
about nothing to a bunch of Muslims in Cairo!!
The news outlets spout about Trump being conned by Kim into giving up
the war games and bringing back the troops from ROK. Reality is
different though - Trump actually said the following:
“We have 32,000 soldiers in South Korea. I would like to be able to
bring them back home. That’s not part of the equation. At some point,
I hope it would be."
“We will stop the war games which will save us a tremendous amount of
money. Unless and until we see the future negotiation is not going
along like it should.”
In both cases, the "fake news" faked the news. The soldiers won't be
removed until "some point" is reached and that was not part of the
"equation". Not part of the deal. The fake news made it part of the
deal as though Trump had been conned. He was not.
Same with the war games (which is what they are). However, they will
start up again if future negotiations are not to Trump's liking.
Again, the fake news faked the news into something else.
Dave holds himself out as a "progressive". In the main, progressives
were the ones who immediately deprecated the Trump-Kim deal even
before the ink on the signatures had dried. And one doesn't need to
look too closely to understand that the reason for this reflexive
deprecation is simply the "progressives'" loathing for Trump. He is
forever coloured by their bias - and Dave is almost the epitome of a progressive who cannot separate the work of Trump, his outcomes, from
Dave's loathing of the man himself.
In Australian sporting jargon, this is called "playing the man, not
the ball". This is Dave's error of logic and reason.
Let me quote from an article published here in Australia:
"How could anyone professing progress be against any attempt to end
one of the great threats facing the world: a nuclear-armed rogue state
run by the third generation in a line of murderous dictators?
One of their main complaints was that Trump did not secure
undertakings about human rights abuses before committing Kim to the
agreement.
Stopping the threat of nuclear annihilation and encouraging North
Korea back into the free world is the best progress human rights has
seen in the hermit kingdom for decades.
The progressives attacked Trump for sitting down with someone who
enslaved his political opponents and even murdered members of his own
family who threatened his rule.
How do they think Winston Churchill felt dealing with Russian dictator
Joseph Stalin who already had the blood of six or seven million of his
people on his hands when they met for the first time in Moscow in
1942?
Why did Churchill agree to do it? Simply because it was in pursuit of
a greater good. And Stalin went on to murder many millions more of his
people after that, but Churchill had rescued Europe from Adolph
Hitler.
Anyone who expected Trump and Kim to do more than achieve the heads of
an agreement, given their personal history and the compressed nature
of their first meeting, is also a fool.
The progressive naysayers pointed to past agreements with North Korea
without noting the one glaring omission in that history: none had been
made person-to-person by the leader of North Korea and anyone of the
stature of the American president.
That’s what made Tuesday different. The six-party talks in 2005 only
ever produced a statement of principles in a very hostile environment.
If the next stage of negotiations cannot tie North Korea to
independent verification of denuclearisation then there will be just
cause for criticism.
But Trump has at least got Kim to a deal and regardless of what
blinkered commentators like Barron say, he did not give away the farm.
Anyone who thinks dispassionately about what happened can’t help but
see that Trump opened a door to the world for Kim, his oppressed
countrymen and the majority of South Koreans who long for unification.
If the Little Rocket Man wants to walk through it, his country can be transformed."
Read this Dave and try to open your closet like mind. You weren't
always so fossilised and ossified in thought. You were young once.
Make your brain young again and try to step outside of your biases and prejudices. Invite reality in.
