It represents<br \/>\nthe abandonment of rational thinking and the willing embrace of such nonsense as<br \/>\nthe Mueller investigation of <em>Russiagate<\/em> which has proven nothing accept that the<br \/>\nDOJ and FBI were infiltrated by highly partisan operatives and appointees.<\/p>\n<p>These biased officials were so overwhelmed by Trump&#8217;s surprise victory over Hillary<br \/>\nClinton that they turned their focus away from the obvious misconduct of the former<br \/>\nSecretary of State with her pay-to-play schemes. These enriched her, her husband<br \/>\nand their Clinton Foundation and included links to the Uranium One Scandal that tied<br \/>\nher to Russia.<\/p>\n<p>These DOJ investigators have also failed to expose the depth of corruption linked to the<br \/>\nAwan Brothers infiltration of national security or to solve the &#8220;murder&#8221; of Seth Rich.<\/p>\n<p>The absurd spectacle of Rod Rosenstein wrapping himself in the flag as he announced<br \/>\nthe phony &#8220;indictment&#8221; of alleged Russian operatives a few days prior to the Trump\/Putin<br \/>\nSummit in Helsinki is the culmination of two years of frenzied behavior by those whose<br \/>\nloyalties to the Democratic Party and the Never Trump meme have taken us to this moment of unique historical importance.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than applauding any effort to move the agenda away from confrontation and towards greater understanding, these irrational forces have united in continuing the drumbeat of hatred towards Trump who denounced such misguided thinking for what it is: &#8220;foolishness!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I do not mean to exonerate Mr. Trump from any misdeeds he may have committed or his thin-skinned, narcissistic ways that needlessly exacerbate sensitive policy issues. Such &#8220;foolishness&#8221; on his part should be rejected: he can and should do better. But all that pales in comparison to what is involved today in Finland between these two global leaders.<\/p>\n<p>I join John Walsh in praying that the press and other naysayers fail in their endeavor to:<br \/>\n&#8220;instill in the populace a hatred of Trump that is stronger than the hatred of war.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The future of humanity may depend on it!<\/p>\n<p>References:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/original.antiwar.com\/john-v-walsh\/2018\/07\/15\/the-rocky-road-to-helsinki\/\">http:\/\/original.antiwar.com\/john-v-walsh\/2018\/07\/15\/the-rocky-road-to-helsinki\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/original.antiwar.com\/justin\/2018\/07\/15\/saboteurs-of-peace-on-the-road-to-helsinki\/\">http:\/\/original.antiwar.com\/justin\/2018\/07\/15\/saboteurs-of-peace-on-the-road-to-helsinki\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.afp.com\/en\/news\/23\/trump-attacks-us-foolishness-heading-putin-showdown-doc-17p79c4\">http:\/\/www.afp.com\/en\/news\/23\/trump-attacks-us-foolishness-heading-putin-showdown-doc-17p79c4<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-101115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=101115"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101115\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=101115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=101115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=101115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
