PARADE OF FOOLS: Completely and Shamelessly Integrated with the Deep State's Propaganda Machine
Trevor Noah: Frequent contrived and dangerous humour.
[dropcap]W[/dropcap]e have often discussed the role of Anglo-American comedians in promoting the imperial agenda of constant war and international interventions—agressions, to call them what they are—a favorite word the imperial hypocrites have long used to describe their geopolitical opponents, that is, nations unwilling to do Washington's bidding. Noah Trevor, the SA comedian who inherited Jon Stewart's throne on The Daily Show, a Democrat shill and (inevitably) Russiagater and NeverTrumper, is clearly happy to do his job as part of the US' gianormous "soft power" structure, just as Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher, John Oliver, and others routinely do (their treacherous warmongering role is neither comprehended by the Pavlovian audiences nor criticized by anyone in the establishment media or political class).
Noah is hardly alone in this questionable practice. Colbert, now sitting on the Johnny Carson Late Show throne at CBS is notorious for this type of hacking for the imperial establishment, surely betting (as do the rest of this pack) that promoting Washington's agenda is a ticket to more fame and wealth. So far his bet is paying off, for that's the way it's always been done down the ages in grotesquely unequal societies: kiss the sovereign's butt and thou shalt be rewarded. Clearly the consequences of buttressing a system of global criminality now pushing for a likely nuclear war that could end all life on this tormented planet does not compute for any of these short-term thinking whores (all corporadoes and their billionaire chieftains are short-term thinkers, anyway). Also cavalierly ignored by all these duplicitous characters is the fact that by promoting wars of aggression they are automatically accomplices to the ultimate crime under Nuremberg statutes, and UNO laws, something for which we hanged Nazi hierarchs in 1946.
Below, some examples of Noah's mendacity. Try to figure whose side this guy is on, whose water he's carrying, and why he's shedding tears for the CIA and other spook agencies. And it's not about Trump, per se, it's way bigger than that.

Trump defends Putin at a summit in Helsinki, throwing U.S. intelligence under the bus.
2. Lambasting Trump for making nice with North Korea.

Noah is NOT happy with a long-sought reduction of war tensions in the Korean peninsula. Watch closely how he ridicules Trump for acting respectful toward Kim, clearly (in Noah's mind and that of his controllers) a break with longstanding imperial media policy of constant and utter vilification.
