I will take a deep breath, watch this movie I torrented, and hopefully my opinions change in the morning. Right now, though, I feel betrayed and hurt.

My life has been on an upward trajectory ever since I've taken the red pill and pulled my head out of my ass. WWIII is the last thing I need.

You are meant to feel betrayed and hurt.

That was the whole point of this exercise. To neuter Trump. To disorientate and demoralise his supporters. Don't we all feel silly now, uh?

WWWIII is not starting. The job is done. Until the next one.

Don't be afraid now, be afraid for what is about to come. But probably it won't come. The economy will just get worse. Ed Sheeran will have 10/10 of the top 10. More wealth from the middle classes will be transferred to the rich. The poor have little left to give.

Everything is going to plan citizen. Do not worry. Be happy in your brave new world.

Seriously, this does not effect you in reality. You have food to eat. Porn to whack off to on the old compo. You certainly have a bloody good circus of entertainment to get steamed up over. But let it end there. This is not boots on the ground warfare anymore, it's hearts and minds and adrenal systems and dopamine rushes. Detach.

But at some point you will have to get involved, as we all will. First though, we must realise the game being played with us. We are being gamed by politicians, no, sorry, the politician's masters, the way that we game a good looking girl in a nightclub, if we can. Not all of them fall for it of course.

I may be wrong, but this whole thing stinks of fish and I'm refusing to be drawn in one way or another. Trump might really really need our support and help now. And we have little left to lose by giving it to him.

Scott Adams' take

The Syrian Air Base Attack

http://blog.dilbert.com/post/15930083638...ase-attack

As I blogged yesterday, the claim that Assad ordered a chemical attack on his own people in the past week doesn’t pass my sniff test. For Assad to order a gas attack now – while his side is finally winning – he would have to be willing to risk his life and his regime for no real military advantage. I’m not buying that.

But let’s say the world believes Assad or a rogue general under his command gassed his own people. What’s an American President to do? If Trump does nothing, he appears weak, and it invites mischief from other countries. But if he launches 59 Tomahawk missiles at a Syrian military air base base within a few days, which he did, the U.S. gets several benefits at low cost:

1. President Trump just solved for the allegation that he is Putin’s puppet. He doesn’t look like Putin’s puppet today. And that was Trump’s biggest problem, which made it America’s problem too. No one wants a president who is under a cloud of suspicion about Russian influence.

2. President Trump solved (partly) for the allegation that he is incompetent. You can hate this military action, but even Trump’s critics will call it measured and rational. Like it or not, President Trump’s credibility is likely to rise because of this, if not his popularity. Successful military action does that for presidents.

3. President Trump just set the table for his conversations with China about North Korea. Does China doubt Trump will take care of the problem in China’s own backyard if they don’t take care of it themselves? That negotiation just got easier.

4. Iran might be feeling a bit more flexible when it’s time to talk about their nuclear program.

5. Trump’s plan of a Syrian Safe Zone requires dominating the Syrian Air Force for security. That just got easier.

6. After ISIS is sufficiently beaten-back, the Syrian government will need to negotiate with the remaining entities in Syria to form a lasting peace of some sort that keeps would-be refugees in place. Syria’s government just got more flexible. It probably wants to keep the rest of its military.

7. Israel is safer whenever an adversary’s air power is degraded.

On the risk side of the equation, we have the possibility of getting into war with Russia. I’d put those odds at roughly zero in this case because obviously the U.S. warned Russia about the attack. That means we knew their reaction before we attacked. And it was a measured response of the type Putin probably respects. I expect Russia to complain a lot but continue to partner with the U.S. against ISIS.

If it turns out that the sarin gas attack that sparked this military action didn’t come from Assad, it doesn’t much matter. President Trump will bank all of the benefits above even if the attack turns out to be a hoax. We know Assad had some chemical weapons at one point, and probably used them. No one will be crying for Assad if the attack was unnecessary. And realistically, the public will never be 100% sure who was behind the attack.

I doubt this is the first step in a larger plan for war to depose Assad. But if Assad thinks it might be, we have a stronger position over there.

I’m not pro-war, so this military action alarms me the same way it alarms most people. But objectively speaking, the risk-reward ratio for this attack on Syria’s air field was exceptionally good. You rarely see so many benefits arise from one limited military action.

I thought President Trump would hold off on military action in the service of regime change. That still seems to be the case. But once our intelligence services traced the plane that allegedly dropped the gas back to a specific air base, it opened the option that Trump took. I didn’t realize that our military knows what every aircraft in Syria is doing at all times. That’s impressive, bordering on hard-to-believe.

Cernovich has repeatedly said on his periscope yesterday that his military sources say all forces are being mobilized and prepared for invasion and war.

If Mike is right about this, then he is pretty much the best news source in America.

If this was a one off event then all is well. If there is indeed to be an invasion and consequent war, then Trump has either caved in or he was along the Deep State's plans all the time and we were all fools.

All this is of course highly hypothetical. But if he does this, it's over.

The media is going bonkers over how Gorsuch got nuked in and it's horrible - yet a quick look on Wikipedia shows me that Clarence Thomas was confirmed by an even narrower margin (52-48) and Samuel Alito was under 60 too (58-42). Is the sixty-vote rule for Supreme Court nominations just willy-nilly gotten rid of whenever, and nobody remembers?

The 60 vote rule is for any cabinet nomination - not just Supreme Court - but there are ways around this as you noted. If you have less than 60, the other side can fillibuster which basically means wasting time by reading the phone book, encylopedia, etc. That is really a nuclear option if you ask me, but it has a long precedent.

Clarence Thomas was basically an Affirmative Action hire - he really didn't have the standing to be on the Court when nominated, although you could probably say the same about Sotomayor and Kagan. He also has a white wife if I recall correctly and that was probably the unspoken reason for the opposition. Don't know if anyone remembers this but he had a former employee, Anita Hill, lodge some very implausible sexual harrassment claims against him.

Alito was a solid right winger when nominated, hence the opposition.

Let's do those "-" bullet points from top to bottom:

1. Terrorists put on notice because Trump bombed Assad's airbase? Wait..am I just too stupid to see the chess here, or is Assad fighting the terrorists and so the terrorists are celebrating right now rather than being on notice?

2. The whole stupid pamphlet starts out by saying "deep state false flags Syria gas attack," which is the only thing they actually get right. The second bullet point is thus complete garbage that contradicts their very own introduction. Trump doesn't upstage anyone and draws no red lines, he falls for a deep state false flag according to the very idiots who compiled this list!

3. Last I looked the "muh Russia" narrative existed because his enemies control the media and carpet bomb the airwaves with nonsense. The tomahawks knocked out a Syrian airbase, not CNN headquarters, so the "muh Russia" narrative is as alive as ever. The ability of the MSM to bombard with nonsense has not been diminished as a result of the strike. Also, launching tomahawks at Syria has nothing to do with Trey Gowdy or the Susan Rice investigation, aside from taking attention away from the latter.

4. Trump bombed Syria to show his supporters will desert him if he does stupid shit like bomb Syria? Ok... I'd argue against it except it's not even a coherent thought so all I can say is WTF?

5. Not sure about this one. It's hard to say at this point what message, if any, President Xi drew from any of this. If I was Xi, my take-away lesson would be "WTF is this dude doing? I haven't got a clue. Time for some Kung Pao chicken and a foot massage."

5. False flag planted by deep state pedo elites elicits exact response pedo elites were hoping for, pedo elites put on notice. Uh...ok.

Oh fuckin hell, it's just getting worse. What the hell did the neocons do to him? Send a CIA spook into his bedroom at night and threaten to cut his balls off?

You jest. But don't knock it!

That kind of scenario might have happened though. It might have been his pet cat or dog, disfigured in horrible ways we can not imagine. It might have been an old IRS return that was innocent enough by itself, but led to deeper meanderings. It could have been a lot of things. The man is human. He has been turned. Let us not judge him too harshly on this. Let us look for the culprits who have mocked our God Emperor.

It might have been a build up of frustrations. Everyday political stuff, like the aforementioned lack of security clearances for his chosen staff. It may even have been a deal: you give us this, and we will give you that, or perhaps: you give us this, and we won't do that to you!

He is just one man. The time has come. The jig is up. The whole fucking population of the world knows the POTUS does not really run the whole world. He has delegates, minions etc. - people he trusts. People he has to trust because he knows no better. Friends of friends. What if those friends weren't so great friends in the first place?

I've had the rug pulled out from right under me by people I put all my eggs in to one basket with. If this whole thing wasn't a setup (I'm talking the presidency and how Trump came to power), and I don't believe it was - I believe it was just a joke that got out of hand - but if it wasn't a setup, then this man finds himself in an absolutely impossible position. How many friends does any one man have? I can tell you. Few.

Good friends and true loyalty is hard to come by in this life.

But little of that matters if he has been got to. It's a matter of nuance. But the last thing the Golden Don needs right now is all his so called supporters turning coat and jumping ship. Just a little bit of moral support will do him the world of good. If he has any agency left.

I really don't know what is going on. I predicted war and I predicted a terrorist event today. But I did not predict this. And that is the whole game. The other things come in waves. But for someone with such deep respect and trust to do something so circumspect? Well. Dirty tricks 101.

But then again, maybe they did just offer to cut his balls off. Or Baron's balls. Maybe nothing was said and the horse's head did all the talking.

All I know is, Trump is not fucking stupid. He is not a warmonger. And he has been got to - how I don't know - and for the moment I will still give him my wholehearted support. This isn't 5D chess, but it is geopolitical chess. A few kids dying here or there? Pah. Kids die in their thousands every day but you aren't invested in that. No one is.

This is meant to break the Trump ranks. Until he really jumps the shark, I'm still collecting tickets on the train for the man.

Hold the line.

Generally I'm anti-war, but I don't care if we bomb a Syrian air base or not, or wipe Syria off the map with bombs, or the entire Middle East for that matter. In fact, I could root for the latter.

We're making a mountain out of a molehill.

Stuff like this Syria-bombing-thing is annoying because it's distracting Trump and his supporters from a much more important issue, focusing on getting rid of the pestilence that are illegal immigrants (and ideally their anchor spawn, as well) and preventing more illegals and low-skilled immigrants from entering.

Demographics is destiny.

No American on this forum 10, 20, 30 years from now will care about some bombing in Syria ("which one? there's just so many of them" [channeling Sunny]) that took place in 2017.

But we and our future children would certainly feel the brunt of failing to curtail the illegal immigrant pestilence in the 2010s to 2020s: permanent entrenchment of the fascist left, continual expansion of the welfare state, public schools (paid for by our growing taxes) being increasingly flooded by low-skilled and illegal immigrant spawn and the unsurprising pathologies that result, affirmative action policies for higher education and white-collar jobs growing increasingly cosmic and comical.

This already sounds like the current state of affairs, but up to eleven (!!!111). A Trump win in 2016 at least stopped the permanent entrenchment of the fascist left.. or at least for now.

We're fighting at the brink of a demographic tipping point. Let's not get our panties in a twist about some airstrike.

Instead of acting like their pussies just got grabbed and panicking, Trump supporters should be putting increasing pressure on and giving increasing support to Trump in delivering (and/or continuing to deliver) on demographic issues instead of letting himself get distracted by dumb shit like Syria.

Then why are the two major US political parties always trying to impose their ideologies upon everyone else? At least libertarians don't maim, kill, burn and destroy when expressing our political views. We simply try to use reason. And I have come to the conclusion that most of those 7 billion people are incapable of rational thought.

So that being the case, if everyone will just stay out of my yard and out of my wallet, we'll get along.

I think this is exactly why so many Trump supporters have their knickers in a twist. He promised us "America First." How the fuck can we make America first if we continue burning our wealth in that shithole desert over primitive religious wars that will always happen whether we throw cash and bombs at the problem or not? Is Trump going to make the Middle East Great Again or MAGA? Let those zealots kill one another.

Bring our troops home. Put them on our borders. America First.

As expected more details emerging. That one 7yo Syrian girl always promoting for WWIII and US intervention against Assad has a terrorist father (as if she can tweet in perfect English at that age).

Ah wonderful - Arabs have given Trump an honorary Arabic name - Abu Ivanka al-Amerki


And they are meming him.

The doctor who confirmed the gas attack is interviewed by someone who is on the US drone kill list.

Also on the doctor who confirmed the Syarian gas attack:



The doctor who is the lead source of the stunt was already on trial for terror offences.

Well well well...... this is not 1991 and everyone believes that Kuwaiti incubator babies are being thrown out of the windows by Iraqi soldiers. Psyops blow up in your face much faster at least for a large part of the population due to the internet.

Trump has been president for 77 days - and all 77 days being sabotaged and obstructed by both his own party and the Left - and people are saying they "don't see light at the end of the tunnel" and that "Trump hasn't accomplished his domestic agenda"

The Democrats plan could not be working more perfectly at the moment.

Make the left believe he's Hitler, a Russian agent, and deporting every brown person and killing every black person. Make the Right believe he's not fulfilling his promises (in 77 fucking days mind you) - when actually IS doing so - all the while doing everything possible to make sure he cannot.

Guiz I saw a Mexican boy on my block the other day, Trump must be cucking on immigration. Guiz Trump didn't go to the IRS and unilaterally change the tax code yet. Guiz why can't Trump just make new laws he controls the congress rite? Guiz it has been 77 days and all presidents before did everything in 60 days, by themselves, IIRC. Guiz there is no light at the end of the tunnel cuz Trump didn't call Berkely rioters faggots and scumbags and charge all with federal crimes, his condemnation was too generally.

And Trump isn't intelligent because he doesn't spend his days reading and citing 14th Century Greek war philosophy? Ok.

He bombed some scumbags country that has been bombed nearly every week by us for 4 years, and he hasn't unilaterally changed the USA in 77 days while being attacked on all sides. What a failure!

Abu Ivanka al-Amerki...I ain't gonna lie, I'm impressed. Let's hope Trump doesn't live up to that name, but if he does then damn, that's both funny and incisive.

Lol GTFO with that Sherman.

As I said in a previous post, I'm not jumping off the Trump Train just yet, but I am monitoring this situation very closely.

The thing that makes me most uncomfortable about this whole scenario is seeing President Donald J. Trump resort to the very same suggestion Crooked Hillary Clinton made months ago: bombing a Syrian air strip.

Doesn't it strike you as odd, and eerily prescient, that the same course of action suggested by the left-wing presidential candidate has now been implemented by the right-wing president who ran on a non-interventionist platform? Seems as if there was an agenda in place, and that no matter who the victor of the presidential contest was, that agenda was going to be carried out. Perhaps I'm overthinking this whole thing, but I believe when it comes to government and politics related issues, it pays to be more skeptical than faithful.
