COMMENT ON FACEBOOK NOT TAKING DOWN THE “ASSASSINATE DONALD
TRUMP SITE” BECAUSE IT “DOESN’T VIOLATE OUR COMMUNITY STANDARDS”
This is appalling. The people running Facebook regularly
censor the most innocuous postings, such as the picture of the breast of a woman
who wanted to teach people something about breast cancer.
It is the neo-cons and Israel Lobby and that portion of the
American establishment in bed them which represent the most serious and
determined threat to Trump. And Facebook clearly represents a segment of those
combined interests, it having a definite reputation for its willing cooperation
with American security agencies.
These interests are afraid that years of meaningless
American wars - meaningless, that is, in terms of genuinely American interests,
quite apart from their assault on the world’s peace and good order - and
belligerent policies which serve Israel's most selfish interests might be
coming to an end.
And many of us, while not great admirers of Trump, also
believe that this is one policy area of some promise from this very
independent-minded man.
However, Trump and his supporters greatly overestimate the
power of a president to get anything done, anything that is which goes against established
policies.
John and Robert Kennedy discovered this truth in the early
1960s. The CIA and the Pentagon simply ignored them on more than one occasion.
The Pentagon also kept pushing big plans such as an all-out
nuclear attack on Russia as late as 1961. Kennedy more than once left big
meetings feeling sick at his stomach and keenly aware he did not have the
control a president should in theory have.
Truly, any change in the policies covering the Middle East
would be met by massive (although not open) opposition from all those who've
worked on it for years and all those who benefit by it, and that is a very
powerful and wealthy group.
I'm convinced that all the noise over Trump – Mitt Romney’s
ridiculous and irresponsible speech to George Clooney’s precious-boy
name-calling, the Pope’s unprecedented blundering comments, Facebook’s behavior
to The Weekly Standard’s hectoring – represents only the first grumblings of
these interests.
If Trump does get the nomination - after all, the
establishment, much like security agencies in their black operations, does not do
things in plain view, so I tend to doubt there will be a slamming of the doors
against his nomination - we are going to have the dirtiest political campaign
on record.
This kind of behavior from a guy like Mark Zuckerberg, who
usually tries very hard to put on a meek and mild public face, represents just
the first whiff of a very dirty war to come.
