The Clinton system to discredit Donald Trump
by Thierry Meyssan

This article is a warning – in November 2016, a vast system of agitation and propaganda was set up in order to destroy the reputation and the authority of President Donald Trump as soon as he arrived in the White House. It is the first time that such a campaign has been scientifically organised against a President of the United States, and with such resources. Yes, we are indeed entering a post-Truth age . . .

As previously noted, while some traders on Wall Street were disappointed by the lack of specifics in Trump's speech, many others - and certainly Trump's group of core, faithful supporters - praised his "milder", more conciliatory tone, in a speech that was among his most "presidential" public addresses to date.

Trump’s speech was conventional, a relief to the GOP

When the Oscar for Best Documentary Short was awarded to The White Helmets, Hollywood’s liberal elite handed the industry’s most prestigious prize to a terrorist organization directly affiliated with Al-Qaeda.

Senator John McCain met with known terrorists in Syria in order to try and oust Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, according to unnamed officials.  The news of McCain’s illegal rendezvous with militants in northern Syria was published by the Wall Street Journal on February 22. Thenewamerican.com reports: McCain’s office said his visit to Syria was an opportunity “to assess dynamic conditions on the ground” there and also praised President Trump for requesting a review of the U.S. strategy to defeat ISIS.

The best-case scenario has come about, which is to say the end of a world facing the specter of a mushroom cloud. With Hillary Clinton's defeat, we avoided a nuclear denouement stemming from a direct clash with Russia in Syria and an escalation of the conflict in Ukraine. Unfortunately the good news ends here.
