Consider now the "Muslim ban." Muslim refugees are a problem for the US and Europe because the US and its NATO puppets have bombed a large number of Muslim countries entirely on the basis of lies. One might have thought, that with all its experience of war, the Western countries would be aware that wars produce refugees. But apparently not.
The easiest and most certain way to deal with the problem of Muslim refugees is to stop the bombings that produce refugees.
Apparently, this solution is beyond the grasp of the Trump administration. According to news reports -- and considering the presstitute status of news organizations one never knows -- the new Trump administration authorized a SEAL team attack in Yemen that murdered an 8-year-old girl along with a number of women and children on January 29. As far as I can ascertain, no women are marching in opposition to the Trump administration's continuation of the policy of the Bush/Obama regime of murdering Muslims in the name of a hoax "war on terror."
Trump's Achilles' heel is his belief in the "Muslim threat," an orchestrated threat cooked up by the neoconservatives. If Trump wants to defeat ISIS, all he needs to do is to stop the US government and CIA from funding ISIS. ISIS is Washington's creation, used to overthrow Libya and sent to Syria to overthrow Assad until the Russians intervened.
Someone needs to have enough geo-political knowledge to tell Trump that he cannot simultaneously mend relations with Russia and revive the conflict with Iran and threaten China.
As I feared, Trump has no idea who to appoint in order to achieve his agenda.
Now let's turn to Trump's critics: Identity Politics, that is, the explanation of Western history as the victimization of everyone by white heterosexual males. The attacks on Trump lack legitimacy, and everyone except those immersed in victim politics sees that. The same people who march against Trump and condemn his Muslim ban do not march against the wars that produce the Muslim refugees and immigrants. Trump's opponents are in the illogical position of supporting the "war on terror" and the 9/11 story on which the war is based, but objecting to the ban on entry of "Muslim terrorists" into the US. If Muslims are terrorists as the Bush/Obama narrative claims, it is totally irresponsible to admit into the US Muslims harmed by Washington's attacks on their countries who might have thoughts of revenge.
The liberal/progressive/left long ago abandoned the working class. The consequence of their illegitimate complaints will be to lump all dissent into their illegitimate category. Thus, truth-tellers along with fiction-tellers will be shut down. The public will not be able to differentiate between the orchestrated attacks on Trump and those telling the truth.
My conclusion is that the stupidity of Identity Politics by discrediting dissent will empower the worst elements of the right-wing. If Goldman Sachs is also operating against us, as Nomi Prins believes, then the US is history.
