Wilkerson believes Bolton was sacked for “political purposes.” President Donald Trump, Wilkerson says was “doesn’t want people competing with him, and Bolton was competing with him big time.” My thoughts exactly. When the new started to be about John Bolton rather than Donald Trump it was just a matter of time. If John Bolton had half a brain in his head, he would have realized that. Instead, he thought he was winning.Of course, that's not the only reason, but it was stepping over the...

Good article, and I agree that John Bolton's departure is a positive move.  That said, the larger obstacle is US Trade Representative Robert Lightizer. Bolton's focus was on taking down Huawei. Lightizer's focus is taking down change with a view to regime change.  This is ultimately a replay of the successful push to take down the USSR, which the American elite believe was accomplished by economic warfare.  The real objectives are the Chinese Communist Party and communism as a...

Vice President Pence in a speech about China some weeks ago essentially said that the United States and the West more broadly made a bad bet. The bet was that if Western countries participated in capitalism with China, that its political system would open up, that democracy would follow. He said that bet hasn't worked out, which does seem plainly true. Do you assume that China will never open up? No, I don't think we should assume that at all. In fact, I think a very important factor in...

Acting-President John Bolton speaks nonsense from his bully pulpit again. National security adviser says to cut discretionary spending Many budget experts say entitlements are bigger threat “It is a fact that when your national debt gets to the level ours is, that it constitutes an economic threat to the society,” Bolton said. “And that kind of threat ultimately has a national security consequence for it.”...

"We will ban its judges and prosecutors from entering the United States. We will sanction their funds in the US financial system, and we will prosecute them in the US criminal system," Bolton said."We will do the same for any company or state that assists an ICC investigation of Americans." This is the perfect example of a dominance-submission model that is characteristic of the instinctual behavior of brutes contrasted starkly with the rationality characteristic of human beings,...

The impetus for the current U.S. offensive against the ICC is that its judges are currently considering whether to authorize the prosecutor to investigate alleged war crimes committed in Afghanistan, including by the U.S. military and the CIA. The potential scenario of Americans being prosecuted by an international court for crimes committed abroad is exactly the scenario Bolton and other opponents warned about in the court’s early days. The US is against anything and anybody it does not...

Like most neo-con thinkers, Hook advocates crushing, crippling sanctions that supposedly will suffocate the population to the point that there will be an uprising that overthrows the regime. It's a form of collective punishment--a neo-con pipe dream that destroys nations and people. Hook's mission on Iran is described as coming from Pompeo at the State Dept, but well-placed sources say it's a National Security Council operation, and Bolton's brainchild....

It appears that Bolton was still pushing the idea within the administration earlier this month. The Washington Free Beacon reported on May 10 that a three-page paper outlining a regime-change strategy from a small far-right organisation called the Security Studies Group, with which Bolton is said to have close ties, was circulated among NSC officials. The quotes from the paper in the story make it clear that the strategy is based largely on seeking to exploit ethnic and religious conflicts...
