The Two Superpowers: Who Really Controls the Two Countries?
Among the ruling interests in the US, one interest even more powerful than the Israel Lobby—the Deep State of the military/security complex— there is enormous fear that an uncontrollable President Trump at the upcoming Putin/Trump summit will make an agreement that will bring to an end the demonizing of Russia that serves to protect the enormous budget and power of the military-security complex.
You can see the Deep State’s fear in the editorials that the Deep State handed to the Washington Post (June 29) and New York Times (June 29), two of the Deep State’s megaphones, but no longer believed by the vast majority of the American people. The two editorials share the same points and phrases. They repeat the disproven lies about Russia as if blatant, obvious lies are hard facts.
Both accuse President Trump of “kowtowing to the Kremlin.” Kowtowing, of course, is not a Donald Trump characteristic. But once again fact doesn’t get in the way of the propaganda spewed by the WaPo and NYT, two megaphones of Deep State lies.
The Deep State editorial handed to the WaPo reads: “THE REASONS for the tension between the United States and Russia are well-established. Russia seized Crimea from Ukraine, instigated a war in eastern Ukraine, intervened to save the dictatorship of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, interfered in the U.S. presidential election campaign to harm Hillary Clinton and help Donald Trump, poisoned a former intelligence officer on British soil and continues to meddle in the elections of other democracies.”
The WaPo’s opening paragraph is a collection of all the blatant lies assembled by the Deep State for its Propaganda Ministry. There have been many books written about the CIA’s infiltration of the US media. There is no doubt about it. I remember my orientation as Staff Associate, House Defense Appropriation Subcommittee, when I was informed that the Washington Post is a CIA asset. This was in 1975. Today the Post is owned by a person with government contracts that many believe sustain his front business.
And don’t forget Udo Ulfkotte, an editor of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, who wrote in his best seller, Bought Journalism, that there was not a significant journalist in Europe who was not on the CIA’s payroll. The English language edition of Ulfkotte’s book has been suppressed and prevented from publication.

I websearched* this book he mentions and found an interview with the author that attests to his courage, honor and integrity. He openly confesses to past misdeeds, but explains well how he got there.
The penalty for not playing along is termination of employment, often among other downsides. So you can be a dishonorable pawn posing as a journalist, or you can find some other line of work.
While it is not really news to me, it certainly reinforces and expands our knowledge of what has become of the fourth estate… an understanding that is becoming increasingly widespread… which, in turn, frustrates the propagandists. How dare we turn our backs on them and find the truth in other sources?
We are not supposed to be that smart. After all, they have spent over a generation and untold resources dumbing us down.
You can fool some of the people all of the time,
all of the people some of the time,
but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.

*websearched:
the generic term for Internet researching used by people who understand that Google has been taken over by the deep state, and that its use should be avoided. First off, they now control, manipulate and censor search results. Secondly, they record our searches, note activity, results and our subsequent actions in OUR FILE.
The DuckDuckGo search engine today is what Google once was… accurate, effective, honest and honorable. Use it.
