If there is one thing the last 48 hours have proved to me, it\u2019s this.\u00a0 Donald Trump is no longer acting President.\u00a0 The coup against Trump has been completed.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to keep this simple.\u00a0 Follow the dots and try to keep up.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Deep State\u2019s lies are being unraveled in real time thanks to the collective intelligence of the \u2018internet\u2019 and our ability to synthesize data in real time<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. The Skripal poisoning and the latest Syrian \u201cchemical weapons\u201d attack share the same thing \u2014 both set government officials off rushing to judgment and action before any official investigation could debunk them.<\/li>\n
  3. Trump has pissed off everyone in power on both sides of the Atlantic since coming into power.<\/li>\n
  4. He has been a material threat to powerful members of the Deep State\/Shadow Government who have unmasked themselves as criminals\u00a0to avoid losing power<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. Trump needs to be neutralized.\u00a0 And up to this point he hasn\u2019t been, c.f. his tax cuts, deregulation, Executive Orders against Obamacare, TPP, TTIP.\n
      \n
    1. He\u2019s attacking the current managed trade schema of Wall St. and the City of London via trade war rhetoric with China and the EU.<\/li>\n
    2. Russia collusion narrative has failed completely.\u00a0 Mueller\u2019s investigation has now \u2018jumped the shark.\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    3. Things were falling into place for Trump, Jinping and Putin for a wider peace framework from North Korea to the Middle East.\u00a0 This does not serve the entrenched powers in D.C., New York, City of London, Riyadh and Beirut.<\/li>\n
    4. The operation to destroy Syria\u00a0is at least a 20 year old idea<\/a>.\u00a0 It will not be derailed.\u00a0 \u00a0It goes back to overthrowing Assad\u2019s father.\n
        \n
      1. John Bolton is one of the architects of this mess.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      2. Trump\u2019s tweets right after the latest announced attack rang false.\u00a0\u00a0The word choice was all wrong.\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0Tone right.\u00a0 Words wrong.<\/li>\n
      3. This morning\u2019s tweets.\u00a0\u00a0The same way.<\/a>\u00a0 \u201cGas killing Animal?\u201d\u00a0 Who\u2019s writing his material now?\u00a0 A third-grader?<\/li>\n
      4. These tweets will be used as \u2018evidence\u2019 against Trump in his upcoming either resignation or removal from office.<\/li>\n
      5. They have to in order to countermand his historical public record against intervention in Syria as well as his publicly-stated intentions to pull out of Syria \u2018real soon.\u2019<\/li>\n
      6. Trump would not telegraph his military posturing like this, c.f. Al-Shairat, MOAB.\u00a0 He\u2019s made that point abundantly clear.<\/li>\n
      7. These tweets and past events will make a case for him not being fit for office.<\/li>\n
      8. After the U.S. and the coalition Obama and David Cameron could not put together in 2013 commits serious war crimes in Syria and the reality in Douma is revealed, i.e. no chemical weapons were even used, Trump will be blamed for rushing to judgment.<\/li>\n
      9. He is Commander-in-Chief.\u00a0 His military handlers will turn on him in a heartbeat and all of this will be used as \u2018proof\u2019 of his insanity.<\/li>\n
      10. The headlines are preparing us for this.\u00a0 The GOP is split on him at this point, some openly wishing for him to fail.<\/li>\n
      11. At the announcement of response in Syria Trump looked defeated.\u00a0\u00a0He doesn\u2019t look like himself.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0He\u2019s done.<\/li>\n
      12. The reality is that he\u2019s not making these decisions.\u00a0 These decisions were made for him and, like every other President, he\u2019s trapped having to sell it.<\/li>\n
      13. If he resists, his family dies.\u00a0 His businesses destroyed.\u00a0 Or he can go along, do what he can and after four years leave the office in disgrace.<\/li>\n
      14. And he will be blamed for it all.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        I told you months ago, when you make a deal with the devil, in this case the Neoconservatives, you do so at your own peril.\u00a0 When Trump reversed course on Afghanistan the fix was in then.\u00a0 He would be allowed, like all presidents, to play around at the edges of domestic policy, but the foreign policy train will not be derailed.<\/h3>\n

        That\u2019s what fuels the Empire.\u00a0 That\u2019s the game.\u00a0 And the events of the past four days tell you what\u2019s what.<\/p>\n

        It\u2019s like a nightmare rose up slouching towards Bethlehem
        \nLike a nightmare rose up from this small strip of land
        \nSlouching towards Bethlehem<\/p>\n
