"In her bid to secure her confirmation as Trump’s next Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard is now pledging to support Section 702 of the FISA Act. This notorious law allows for the warrantless surveillance of Americans, and in congress Gabbard had previously fought to repeal it.

This is how the national security state works. You don’t change the machine, the machine changes you. Anyone who starts off opposing the imperial status quo of authoritarianism, warmongering and corruption either finds themselves excluded from the halls of power or adapts new positions in favor of the status quo."

Did I not say that, if the Establishment is good at nothing else, it is very good at determining who can be co-opted, whom to buy off, whom to neutralize, whom to ignore?

Those who think Trump will fight The Deep State are living in a fantasy world.

Not hard for me to avoid the truth about Zionism, homicidal empire America, and BS anti-Semitism (while Zionist billionaires eat everyone else's livers) because I get sad. It's rather because the anger, often the rage that festers behind my eyeballs is of the Luigi variety. It strikes me that the liars, greedocrats and murderers have no right to breathe the same atmosphere as folks I know who offer solutions based on anti-colonialism, cooperation, multipolarism, and diplomacy. Johnstone Magazine is of course among the publications proffering such ideas. Of course, it had to be silenced by the crowd who deserve only toxic sewer gases to breathe.
