Is the shadow war about to come out of the shadows?

Here's something that was on my mind a week ago.

I believe the writers I refer to there are at least as reliable as anyone at The Guardian/ CBC/FOX/BBC/CNN/ETC.

And unlike their mainstream counterparts, they still remember who Julian Assange is.

Ya, that guy, the one they were all celebrating when he spilled the beans ten years ago, but today, if they remember his name at all, it's as a traitor or pervert.

Meanwhile, Assange endures the most egregious perversions of justice, while our paragons of free expression and speaking truth to power avert their eyes.

I'm a little leery of the enthusiasm with which our leaders are leading us all into lock-down. Did Smug Doug misspeak when he told us the power would stay on? And the internet?

Was he alluding to a time when they may not?

Is that time nigh upon us?

A good part of the planet is beyond tired of America's relentless bullying of all who would go their own way. They can't figure out their own shit, but they can ramp up sanctions against much weaker states in this time of pestilence. Iran, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba...

And Russia and China, of course.

This is not a happy state of affairs. And wasn't Bolton just back in the news, demanding that China be held accountable?


Perhaps the world has had enough of Trump and that pompous "Christian," Pompeo, and the entire genre of "American Exceptionalism."
