Another Psychopath For US Secretary Of State

Marco Rubio

Psychopathy is almost a job requirement for Secretary of State, because the title entails a responsibility for helping to roll out the violence and tyranny which serves as the glue that holds the US empire together.

Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

Marco Rubio will be joining a long list of psychopaths as the next US Secretary of State. A few of Trump’s cabinet picks might have a hard time getting past the Senate, but not Rubio. He’s the exact type of blood-guzzling swamp leech those creatures on Capitol Hill adore.

Psychopathy is almost a job requirement for Secretary of State, because the title entails a responsibility for helping to roll out the violence and tyranny which serves as the glue that holds the US empire together. As Secretary of State you are responsible for whipping up international consensus for brutal economic sanctions regimes, drumming up support for heightened aggressions against the official enemies of Washington, and making up excuses for the criminal abuses of the US and its allies.

This is funny in a dark sort of way because the Secretary of State is supposed to be in charge of US diplomacy, which in theory should mean making peace and resolving conflicts without violence. The US Department of State was supposed to be the peacemaking counterbalance to the US Department of War (renamed the Department of Defense in 1947 because “Department of War” was a little too honest), but because the US runs a globe-spanning empire that is held together by endless violence it has little use for peacekeeping, so the State Department mostly gets used to help inflict more violence and abuse. In theory, it was supposed to be the Peace Department, but in practice the US just got two War Departments.

Rubio will be a suitable addition to the list of sadistic manipulators who have served in that role before him, joining the likes of Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, Hillary Clinton, Madeleine Albright and Henry Kissinger as the next soulless manipulator to lead the US State Department in pressing the imperial boot into the throat of the global south.

•

I’ve had multiple Kamala supporters angrily tell me I helped Trump win by criticizing Biden’s foreign policy in the lead-up to the election. I cannot imagine being so much of an unprincipled bootlicker that I’d expect people to lie about a genocide to help someone win more votes.

•

Nothing Trump will do inside US borders over the next four years will be the tiniest fraction as murderous, tyrannical and worthy of ferocious opposition as what Biden is doing in Gaza right now. 

•

American progressives who stopped talking about Gaza in July-August to avoid hurting Kamala seem to have forgotten to go back to talking about Gaza now that the election is over.

•

Trump is profoundly evil, but he is a very conventional kind of profoundly evil, of the same variety as Biden, Obama and Bush before him.

The big lie about Trump is that he is a special deviation from the norm, and both sides believe this lie. Everything about the actual policies of his first term reveal that he is a very ordinary Republican president, who is evil in more or less the same ways as all the other evil Republican presidents. He didn’t do anything that wasn’t already being done by those before him and won’t continue to be done by those after him. But both Democrats and Republicans see him as a drastic departure from status quo US politics, differing only in whether they perceive this as a good thing or a bad thing.

This happens because US presidents cannot significantly differ from one another in actual policy and decision-making. If they were the sort to disrupt the status quo too much, they never would have been allowed to ascend to the presidency. There is simply too much power riding on the US empire for any significant change in its operations to be tolerated by the actual power structure which really runs things. So because presidents and viable presidential candidates cannot significantly differ from each other in terms of policy, they instead differ from each other in terms of narrative and emotion.

That’s what we’re seeing in all the vitriol and passion and frenetic punditry about Trump on both sides of the US partisan divide. A bunch of empty narrative fluff pouring a lot of emotional energy into either supporting or opposing a very ordinary evil in a very ordinary Republican president.

If they didn’t do that, the entire US political landscape would just be Democrats and Republicans agreeing with one another about 99 percent of the evils of the US empire and half-heartedly disagreeing about the remaining one percent. And that would give the whole game away. It would kill the illusion that Americans live in a real democracy where their votes actually mean something and they actually have some meaningful degree of control over what their government does. If this understanding took root, it would only be a matter of time until America’s heavily-armed population began thinking thoughts of revolution.

So we’re left watching this ridiculous histrionics over what amounts to the ordinary everyday pendulum swings between ordinary everyday Democrat governance and ordinary everyday Republican governance, with one side remaining in control about half the time and both sides working together to push the status quo further and further into oligarchy, militarism and tyranny.

The whole US political spectacle is all emotion and no substance. A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

The Cold War And Operation Gladio
Richie
Nov 15, 2024
Doing a read and discussion of Daniel Gansers Operation Gladio and Terr0rism in Western Europe as well as discussion https://archive.org/details/ganser_natos_s...

Gladio, as even the CIA-infilrated Wikipedia confirms, is a sinister, deeply anti-democratic project, yet one that the West has long supported in various iterations. The following from the GLADIO page on Wikipedia:

Operation Gladio was the codename for clandestine "stay-behind" operations of armed resistance that were organized by the Western Union (WU) (founded in 1948), and subsequently by NATO (formed in 1949) and by the CIA (established in 1947),[1][2] in collaboration with several European intelligence agencies during the Cold War.[3]Although Gladio specifically refers to the Italian branch of the NATO stay-behindorganizations, Operation Gladio is used as an informal name for all of them. Stay-behind operations were prepared in many NATO member countries, and in some neutral countries.[4]  ••• According to several Western European researchers, the operation involved the use of assassination, psychological warfare, and false flag operations to delegitimize left-wingparties in Western European countries, and even went so far as to support anti-communistmilitias and right-wing terrorism as they tortured communists and assassinated them, such as Eduardo Mondlane in 1969.[5][6][7][8]

The Dog That Barked in the Night

Revelation of a smoking gun for LIHOP 7 October

Sociopathic war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu doing his theatrics before an appreciative audience, the utterly deferential US Congress.

Before I mirror what Moon of Alabama’s Bernhard published today, here’s my short comment related to it:

How to amplify this important news? It sems clear the minutes could provide the smoking gun evidence needed to prove guilt, the crime being the facilitation of an attack on Zionists and the subsequent crime of killing innocent Palestinians and all international aid workers of all sorts.

IMO, mirroring b's report is the best those of us with our own media outlets can do at this point, and that's what I will do.

Many at MoA have advocated very strongly that Zionists knew beforehand what was to take place on 7 October and those efforts appear to be vindicated. The dog that barked is a riff on the Sherlock Holmes story about the dog that didn’t bark that was the key indicator in that mystery. Comment as usual can be made here but IMO it would be more pertinent to make it at MoA where it’s free and simple to do. The link’s in the opening sentence. Now here’s what was published:

Oct 7 2023 - Netanyahoo Knew The Attack Was Coming - He Let It Happen On Purpose

The prime minister of the Zionist entity, Benjamin Netanyahoo, is under fire. New criminal allegations have been raised against him.

People in Netanyaho's office had 'leaked' secret reports obtained by the Israeli military intelligence from some low level Hamas leader. Before leaking the documents, which included proposals for future actions, the leakers manipulated them.

The manipulated documents appeared as 'news' on foreign websites which allowed the censored Israeli media to repeat their content. As leaked the documents claimed that Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, accompanied by Israelis taken hostage, intended to escape to Egypt from where he would travel to Iran.

It was pretty obvious that the claims were fake. But Netanyahoo did use them to prevent further negotiations about hostage releases.

Several people involved in the leak of the manipulated top-secret papers have since been arrested.

Another scandal is currently brewing about events which immediately happened before the October 7 incursion of Hamas into Israel.

On October 6 a significant number of Hamas fighters in Gaza activated Israeli SIM cards which would allow them to use their cell phones within Israel. Various survival systems noted this and raised alarm. Meetings were held by several security councils, including the one involving the prime minister, but no further alarm was raised (machine translation):

More than a year after the October inauguration, the political leadership has repeatedly claimed that it did not receive any warning before the attack - but a document revealed this evening (Sunday) indicates otherwise. According to the document, on the night of the attack, at 02:58 a.m., the Shin Bet issued a significant warning to a number of security and political bodies, including the NSC directly subordinate to the prime Minister.
...
The alert, which was distributed through a computerized system, included information about unusual activity in the SIM network of several Hamas brigades. The Shin Bet said the activity was unusual and could indicate the possibility of some kind of offensive activity by Hamas.
...
Despite the severity of the warning, it appears that no significant action has been taken in its wake. The NSC, for example, did not take any steps following the receipt of the information. The Israeli police did not change their activities either, as can be seen from the fact that the Nuba party in southern Israel took place as planned.

This suggests, like several other ignored warnings imply, that Netanyahoo and others involved in the decisions knew of the incoming attack but had decided to let it happen to then use the aftermath for their own political purposes.

As the details were starting to come out Netanyahoo came under fire. He had claimed that the security services had been negligent in not issuing warnings. But in reality he seems to have been the one who was informed about the incoming attack but had rejected to raise the alarm.

All the national security council discussions about the decisions in the night of October 6 to 7 are noted in its protocols. As the walls were coming in on the prime minister his immediate aides sought to alter the protocols of the relevant meetings.

But the protocols were under control of a certain high ranking military officer. To get retroactive changes applied, which would exculpate the prime minister, Netanyahoo's aides tried to blackmail the officer over an alleged relation with a subaltern woman:

Top aides to Benjamin Netanyahu are suspected of trying to blackmail an IDF officer in the military secretariat of the Prime Minister’s Office in order to modify minutes of top-level security discussions in the hours before the Hamas attack that sparked the war in Gaza, Hebrew media reported Friday.
...
Hebrew media indicated the probe was related to a July report on Ynet that Netanyahu’s former military secretary, Maj. Gen. Avi Gil, had some months before warned the attorney general of efforts to change protocols of security discussions.

Rumble("play", {"video":"v5mrz1z","div":"rumble_v5mrz1z"});

 

According to Channel 12, as part of the alleged attempt to change protocols, Netanyahu’s aides are thought to have used “sensitive footage” of a military secretariat officer in order to coax him into changing protocols discussions from the night of October 6-7, 2023 — hours before thousands of Hamas-led terrorists stormed southern Israel to kill some 1,200 people and take 251 hostages, sparking the war in Gaza.

Netanyahu has blamed Israel’s security forces for failure to foresee the attack, and resisted calls for a public commission of inquiry to be established into events leading up to it.

Channel 13 said Netanyahu’s aides allegedly stole compromising information about a military secretariat officer from the phone of a woman who works in the PMO. Netanyahu’s aides allegedly took her phone under the pretext that she was suspected of leaking confidential information, but are thought to have sought her personal correspondence with the officer, the report said.

The Kan public broadcaster had on Thursday reported that Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, the IDF chief of staff, had some months ago received a complaint that the PMO was holding, and making inappropriate use of, sensitive footage of an IDF officer. Channel 13 reported that an official in Netanyahu’s circle told Halevi the officer was in an inappropriate relationship with a female worker in the PMO, though an army probe determined the relationship was not an abuse of power.

It is a wild story, and a juicy tale, and several Israeli media have been digging into it. But I have yet to find any media outside of Israel, except Seymour Hersh, which have touched on the latest issue.

There were suspicions from the very beginning that Israeli authorities had knowledge about the Hamas attack on October 7 2023 before it happened but had failed to raise the alarm. Claims were made, unfortunately without any evidence, that this was done not out of negligence, but on purpose.

They let the attack happen on purpose (LIHOP).

All that followed since was, from the very beginning, part of their long-term plans.

The commentator librul ever since 7 October has advocated it was a LIHOP and has provided evidence to support his arguments. Prior to today, I wasn’t 100% convinced that it was a LIHOP. But based on the evidence I’ve read over the past thirteen months, I’m as convinced it was a LIHOP as was Pearl Harbor and 911, and who knows how many others that are precedents.

Like what you’ve been reading at Karlof1’s Substack? Then please consider subscribing and choosing to make a monthly/yearly pledge to enable my efforts in this challenging realm. Thank You!

Trump Has Ripped Us Off Like The Democrats Did

by • November 12, 2024
(All of my recent articles can be seen here.)

Here were the promises that Trump made to us (progressives):

In his campaign’s 21 March 2023 “Agenda47: President Trump’s Plan to Dismantle the Deep State and Return Power to the American People”, Trump said (and you can see and hear him say it by clicking onto that):

!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u4"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");

 

Rumble("play", {"video":"v2biw0g","div":"rumble_v2biw0g"});

Here’s my plan to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our democracy from Washington corruption once and for all, and corruption it is.

First, I will immediately re-issue my 2020 Executive Order restoring the President’s authority to remove rogue bureaucrats. And I will wield that power very aggressively.

Second, we will clean out all of the corrupt actors in our National Security and Intelligence apparatus, and there are plenty of them. The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left’s political enemies, which they’re doing now at a level that nobody can believe even possible.

Third, we will totally reform FISA courts which are so corrupt that the judges seemingly do not care when they are lied to in warrant applications. So many judges have seen so many applications that they know were wrong, or at least they must have known. They do nothing about it, they’re lied to.

Fourth, to expose the hoaxes and abuses of power that have been tearing our country apart, we will establish a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to declassify and publish all documents on Deep State spying, censorship, and corruption, and there are plenty of them.

Fifth, we will launch a major crackdown on government leakers who collude with the fake news to deliberately weave false narratives and to subvert our government and our democracy. When possible, we will press criminal charges.

Sixth, we will make every Inspector General’s Office independent and physically separated from the departments they oversee so they do not become the protectors of the Deep State.

Seventh, I will ask Congress to establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure they are not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people, or that they are not spying on someone’s campaign like they spied on my campaign.

Eighth, we will continue the effort launched by the Trump administration to move parts of the sprawling federal bureaucracy to new locations outside the Washington Swamp. Just as I moved the Bureau of Land Management to Colorado, as many as 100,000 government positions can be moved out. And I mean immediately out of Washington to places filled with patriots who love America, and they really do love America.

Ninth, I will work to ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs at the companies they deal with and that they regulate. So they deal with these companies and they regulate these companies and then they want to take jobs from these companies. Doesn’t work that way—such a public display cannot go on and it’s taking place all the time, like with Big Pharma.

Finally [tenth], I will push a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress.

This is how I will shatter the deep state and restore government that is controlled by the people and for the people.

Go to top

Then, in his 19 July 2023 entitled 36-second Trump Social video, he said (which likewise sounds more like progressive democratic political left, than anything right wing):

“This is the final battle. With you at my side, we will demolish the Deep State, we will expell the war-mongers from our government, we will drive out the globalists, we will cast out the communists Marxists and fascists, we will throw off the sick political class that hates our country, we will rout the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains, once and for all.”

simultaneously endorsed (and was praised by) Trump, is NOT a part of his transition team; combined with the fact that at those joint events RFK Jr. was arguing AGAINST Trump’s now-apparent intention to CUT the regulatory agencies INSTEAD OF (as Kennedy has always urged) terminatethe revolving-door between them and the corporations that they ‘regulate’, does, at the very least, suggest that Kennedy has been conned by Trump and should therefore promptly inform Trump that he is considering to withdraw his endorsement, for that very reason. If Kennedy will warn Trump that he’s considering to do this, because Kennedy is being excludedfrom that operation, then the decision will be Trump’s as to whether he’ll correct that error, or instead go down to defeat. Listen to that speech by Kennedy, and … you will know that it’s like oil and water between the two of them, on the entire issue of corruption and regulation.”

FURTHERMORE: Trump’s foreign-affairs and national-security picks to-date have all been neoconservatives who are rabidly against China and Iran and who oppose continuing America’s ownership of Ukraine ever since February 2014 not because they are anti-imperialists (and therefore anti-neoconservative) as a progressive is, but instead because they want to redirect that immense weapons-spending to target against (and engage in a “New Cold War” against and then provoke a hot war with) both China and Iran. On November 11th, Trump selected one of those rabid neoconservatives, Mike Waltz, to be his National Security Advisor. Here is what the website “Florida Politics” said about this extreme neocon:

https://floridapolitics.com/archives/419663-michael-waltz-we-are-in-a-cold-war-with-the-chinese-communist-party/

https://web.archive.org/web/20231211195946/https://floridapolitics.com/archives/419663-michael-waltz-we-are-in-a-cold-war-with-the-chinese-communist-party/

“Michael Waltz: We are in a cold war with the Chinese Communist Party”

14 April 2021

‘They are certainly in one with us,’ Waltz said.

Republican U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz said Tuesday that the United States is in a cold war with the Chinese Communist Party waged globally and tactically in small theaters like the Panama Canal and the mountains of western Argentina.

Waltz has grown increasingly vocal with hawkish views of the American relationship with China, joining two other Florida Republicans, Sen. Rick Scott and MarcoRubio, in a drumbeat of criticism and alarm over China’s agenda and means to counter American global power. Scott earlier had declared he believes the United States and China arein a cold war, akin to the 45-year dangerous rivalry between the United States and the former Soviet Union. Rubio has been almost as hawkish but hasn’t quite used the words “cold war” yet to describe the relationship.

Waltz has now.

“We are, I believe, in a cold war with the Chinese Community Party. They are certainly in one with us,” Waltz said as the guest speaker at a U.S. Global Leadership Coalition Zoom conference on foreign affairs, for military veterans.

“As a country, we need to get on that footing,” Waltz said. “It’s not just a whole-of-a-government response. It’s a whole-of-society response. When we look at things that are happening in the technology, space, in our universities, in our capital markets, where the Chinese are rapidly pulling ahead, and talking about, openly, replacing the American Dream and American leadership around the world with the Chinese Dream and Chinese leadership.”

Waltz is a Green Beret combat veteran, a former senior policy adviser in the Pentagon, and currently a colonel in the Army National Guard.

In his comments to the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, he also expressed his commitment to diplomacy and to American spending to support diplomatic efforts and development around the world, provided they are backed by American military strength.

Waltz expressed strong concerns about the United Nations’ efforts, and President Joe Biden‘s support for them, to create a new balance of power in Afghanistan involving the Taliban.

He also expressed his observation that in countries that encourage the education of girls and empowerment of women, women thrive in the society and economy, while “extremism does not.” He noted he is Co-Chair of the House’s Women, Peace and Security Caucus “with one of the more liberal members of Congress,” Democratic Rep. Lois Frankel of West Palm Beach.

But it was China that got Waltz rolling Tuesday. He called for a broader and deeper response to the Chinese government that he said is not only pushing toward world dominance but is in many ways being bankrolled by American capitalism happy to seek profits there. That has to stop, he said.

Waltz said China, in part using money raised from America, has bought up ports in Panama and is in position to control access to both sides of the canal, or at least to control access to the commercial infrastructure. “While I was down there, one of our frigates, wanted to — at least as I was told — wanted to stop in for repairs, and was denied,” Waltz said.

He said China was able to leverage debts from the Argentinian government to gain control of a mountain range. Now China has placed a satellite tracking station in those mountains that is in line with the polar-orbital routes used by the American military for launches from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

“They’re doing this around the world, with ports, with grids, with key terrain as they expand their presence in space, on both sides of the Suez Canal as well, buying into both of those free trade zones, so they are using economic tools to seize critical terrain that has key military applications,” Waltz said.

The plan regarding China is to send enough weapons to Taiwan so that it can declare itself NOT to be a part of China, in order to provoke China to invade so that America can then go directly to war against China —though America’s official policy ever since 1972 is and has been that “The United States acknowledges that all Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China.”

Rick Scott, who is the wealthiest of all U.S. Senators and extremely corrupt, is being heavily lobbied to become the replacement for Mitch McConnell as the leader of the U.S. Senate — and Trump hasn’t done anything to dissuade Republican Senators from voting for Scott. Marco Rubio is widely reported to be Trump’s likely pick to become U.S. Secretary of State to replace the neocon Antony Blinken. So: they’re all neocons — just as during Trump’s first Administration. Only the names have changed — to protect the guilt (Trump’s).

This is Trump’s way to “Make America Great Again”? No, it is his way to make America’s billionaires even fatter-with-wealth than they already are.

It seems to me that Trump’s progessive promises were just as insincere as were the Democratic Party’s ever since at least 1992. Neither Party really cares about anyone but its megadonors. American democracy now is as phony as a $3 bill. Short of a 2nd American Revolution, the totalitarian, purely aristocratic-ruled, U.S. regime, will only become tighter, until it chokes the entire world.

PS: If you like this article, please email it to all your friends or otherwise let others know about it. None of the U.S.-and-allied ‘news’-media will likely publish it (nor link to it, since doing that might also hurt them with Google or etc.). I am not asking for money, but I am asking my readers to spread my articles far and wide, because I specialize in documenting what the Deep State is constantly hiding. This is, in fact, today’s samizdat.
