A Great Change Comes for Africa

Sept. 6-If you have been following the ongoing coup against the President, you know by now that its "events" are not things in themselves; they are part of a constructed narrative, a British information warfare effort whose objective is to drive this President from office. So it is with the most recent series of "events": the conviction of Paul Manafort and the guilty plea of Michael Cohen, John McCain's absurd and orchestrated funeral, Bob Woodward's outrageous new round of political pornography aimed at the President, and now, the anonymous op-ed from a "senior official" in the Trump Administration, published on the Sept. 5 Opinion page of the New York Times. The gutless author of the New York Times op-ed claims to be a member of the "resistance" inside the Administration and doubles down on Woodward's ludicrous fake portrait of the President as an unhinged child from whom the nation must be protected. The Times says it is protecting the identity of this creep to save his or her job, to wit, to ensure that he or she can continue outright sedition against the President of the United States. The op-ed lauds John McCain and explicitly references the President's alleged rage at being boxed into Sergei Skripal poisoning hoax in Great Britain. As Glenn Greenwald appropriately commented, "The irony in the op-ed from the New York Times's anonymous White House coward is glaring and massive: s/he accuses Trump of being 'anti-democratic' while boasting of membership in an unelected cabal that covertly imposes their own ideology with zero democratic accountability, mandate or transparency." At the same time, the British have undertaken new strategic provocations against Russia, both carrying the label "poison." Charges were announced Sept. 5 by Theresa May against two "Russians" for the Skripal poisoning. A new false flag chemical attack in Syria, which is to be blamed on Bashar al Assad and Vladimir Putin, has also been in the works for several days. Undoubtedly the Brits will now escalate, calling for new military actions against Russia and threatening the world with a new war. Senator Chuck Schumer gave the game away over the weekend when he said that impeachment must come now, "sooner rather than later." To accomplish this, a whole series of events has been planned between now and the U.S. midterm elections. At the very least, they aim to depress and suppress the turnout of pro-Trump voters and jack up the increasingly Jacobin base of the Democratic Party. God only knows what will launch from this crowd if the now imminent financial collapse occurs, in Schumer's words, "sooner rather than later."
