U.S. President Donald Trump has now signed into law what may be considered one of the most insane pieces of legislation ever to come out of the U.S. Congress. While the law itself will not result in major direct actions in terms of immediately attributable effect, it will have far reaching repercussions both at home and abroad. The law, passed almost unanimously in both the House and Senate had sat for days on Trump’s desk awaiting the President’s signature.
The bill is aimed at a number of Russian industries and also takes aim at foreign banks that do business with North Korea. The bill contains a number of provisions implementing sanctions against Iran as well. It also restricts the President’s ability to tamper with the sanctions regime once it is put in place.
While some held out hope that Trump would muster some courage and actually do the right thing, the President, assured by the parasites and puppets in Congress that they would override his veto, signed the bill into law. Trump did issue a signing statement declaring the bill “seriously flawed – particularly because it encroaches on the executive branch’s authority to negotiate.” Trump also said the bill contained “clearly unconstitutional provisions.” Nevertheless, Trump signed the bill saying his doing so was for “national unity.”
Trump’s statement was correct. Except the bill is not just “flawed,” it is horrific. It is the legislative announcement of the march forward in the war against Russia by elements within the U.S. Deep State, and Trump’s signature announces to the world that either the American President is willing to go along with the war or is powerless to stop it.
So this begs the question, if Trump knew the bill was unconstitutional, why did he sign it? Is “national unity” worth World War Three? And how many Americans are unified in their desire to fight it? Only the items in Congress purchased by AIPAC, Wall Street, and the Military Industrial Complex as well as the Deep State apparatus are unified in such an insanity-driven desire.
Trump apologists will no doubt suggest that Trump is continuing to march ahead with his master plan and that, by signing the bill, he is simply moving forward with what was going to happen anyway; i.e. the override of his veto and the implementation of the sanctions. They will suggest he signed the bill in order to move ahead with his agenda in other areas and return to the Russia issue later. Others suggest he will simply allow the measure to be challenged and struck down by the Supreme Court.
Ironically, Trump supporters love their President because he “gets things done” and doesn’t apologize for “being tough.” But he was anything but tough with this incredibly important bill. He didn’t fight at all. Trump claims he could make better deals with Russia than the Congress but, unfortunately, he didn’t. He has shown hints of sanity from time to time only to then launch missiles at Syrian airbases inhabited by Russian forces, by refusing to remove sanctions on Russia, and by signing this monstrous bill. Whenever Trump shows some signs of lucidity, he follows up with falling in line with the elements of his government that are intent on their “Moscow or bust!!” war strategy.
As Paul Craig Roberts points out in his article, there were a number of strategies that could have been taken by Trump. First, he should have vetoed the bill. At worst, if Congress overrode his veto, Congress would bear responsibility for the political fallout or the radioactive fallout if it comes to that.
Second, in the lead up to the veto, Trump could have brought his case to the American people. He could have laid it all out in the open, pointing out that Congress, both misinformed and eaten up with special interest money, was endangering America’s way of life and possibly even life itself the world over. He could have stated plainly that the interests who own Congress and who are working through Congress are now marching the United States to World War Three. He could have even told them to go watch The Day After with their families and ask themselves if they think the potential costs would be worth it. He could have done any number of things explaining why he was vetoing the bill and then he could have vetoed it. But he didn’t. Thus, we now have a situation that Paul Craig Roberts has labeled the “most alarming event of my lifetime.” He wrote,
Now that Washington’s criminally insane have convinced Russia that Russia is in Washington’s war plans, Russia has no alternative but to prepare to strike first.
During the Cold War both sides received numerous false alarms of incoming ICBMs, but because both sides were working to reduce tensions, the alarms were disbelieved. But today with Washington having raised tensions so high, both sides are likely to believe the false alarm. The next false alarm could bring the end of life on earth, and for this there is no one to be blamed but Washington.
Trump’s emphasis on normalizing relations with Russia was a great relief to people sufficiently intelligent to understand the consequences of nuclear war. But none of these people are in Washington, the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, the military/security complex, or among the presstitutes that pass for a media in America. All of these people want to destroy Trump because he wants to make peace with Russia.
Of the 535 members of the House and Senate, 530 voted in support of a bill that violates the separation of powers and prevents President Trump from removing sanctions on Russia. As the vote is so overwhelming that it is veto proof, the White House has announced that Trump will sign the bill, thus surrendering and giving up on his goal of restoring normal relations with Russia.
The White House believes that as the bill is veto proof, all that Trump could achieve by a veto is to prove the charges that he is a Russian agent and is using his office to protect Russia, and this could easily be turned into an impeachment proceeding.
. . . .
I have been amazed at the stupidity and mendacity of the American liberal-progressive-left, who have fallen in line with the military/security complex’s effort to destroy Trump, because peace with Russia takes away the orchestrated enemy so essential to the budget and power of the military/security complex. Of course, America no longer has a left. The left has been displaced by Identity Politics, a Zionist creation, as Gilad Atzmon explains in his books, that is proving effective in destroying the goyim by teaching them to hate one another. In Identity Politics, everyone is the victim of white heterosexual males, whom Identity Politics defines as misogynist, racist, homophobic gun nuts—Hillary’s “Trump deplorables.” As the “deplorables” voted for Trump, the liberal-progressive-left hate Trump and are helping the military/security complex destroy him even if it means nuclear war.
As I predicted would be the case, Trump had no idea how to appoint a government that would be on his side, and obviously failed completely. He is continually contradicted by his UN ambassador, his Secretary of State, his National Security Advisor, his Secretary of Defense. Trump is alone in his government.
So, he might as well fight. Address the American people. Organize the angry Europeans. Take the fight to criminally insane Washington before the criminals destroy the world in war.
While Roberts’ assertion that this bill will lead to nuclear first strikes may seem hyperbolic, there is a logical flow of events that could very well take the United States and Russia into just this type of situation if some major intervention does not prevent it.
It is also important to point out that, while Trump is clearly embattled by elements within the Deep State, that does not mean he is the political messiah the U.S. has been waiting on. Trump has already slapped sanctions on Venezuela, launched political attacks against Hezbollah, and repeatedly threatened and provoked Iran.
Regardless, this new bill is an escalation rarely seen in international politics if for no other reason than the fact that the Deep State apparatus has begun to tear off its mask and bare its teeth for the world to see. The U.S. Congress has essentially stood up in unison and demanded the destruction of Russia. If Americans can’t see something wrong with this picture, we are in deeper shit than many may have realized.

people who voted for Trump wanted normal relations will all countries as the Constitution prescribes but now we have this which proves that nobody cares what the American people want….
The people who voted for trump did so only because they despised Clinton MORE.
We never had a good choice, just the illusion of it. Look at what a wacked out reality show the whole election was. Purely pathetic. We are getting the government we deserve.
It’s about time we do something really important that would counter this. And that’s to declare war on the criminal neocons and rid the world of the real warmongers and the “enemies within” even the Founders warned us about 240+ years ago.
Correct. The first thing is to restore our judicial system.
IF THE LAWS DO NOT APPLY EQUALLY TO EVERYONE, THEY ARE NO GOOD FOR ANYONE.
If the laws were working as they should, none of these people should be anywhere except jail.
So far, money trumps law. No pun intended. (I think?)
One of our biggest problems is the American people have declared war on themselves. We are too busy fighting each other to realize we are being played, and that is exactly what the conditioning is all about.
With Tim Hortons, Americans can do anything.
Trump is a dope. The Deep State has cut off his balls. WWIII has been chosen to disguise the US financial system implosion.
the orange clown never had any balls, he never worked a day in his worthless life, he is a huge sick loser, and traitor…………… the worst deranged excuse for president….
Amazing how these Republican C S ing, MFers in congress can, when they want to make a bill restricting actions of the President, and the executive branch. Where were they when the CS ing Obama needed some restraints on him? And if the congress can restrict the executive branch then why not the Jewdicial Branch of A H Judges? It is time to throw out ALL Congress C-NTS next election.
The Khazarian Mafia is desperate. This sanctions bill is the cross road for Trump’s patriotism to We The People, or proving to be a controlled opposition.
His patriotism was revealed with his cabinet choices in the very beginning. He basically moved wall street into the whitehouse, just like Obama moved the fed res into the whitehouse with his choices.
No difference. We are getting the same kabuki dancers just different masks.
And for the people not to see this right away only shows their willful ignorance or complete apathy.
A people deserve any regime they endure.
Common sense is right, as is A. Post contributor Brandon Smith of altmarket. The proof came early.
As for the mafia being desperate, the writing on the wall is the US was destined for a controlled demolition as soon as the NWO global techno gulag was in clear view and nearly completed. That’s why TPTB are puppeting a political disaster and embarrassment on the main Kabuki stage.
The 1956 Rockefeller Reports confirm this, thought the plan was devised decades earlier. http://redefininggod.com/the-rockefeller-plan-for-the-brics-new-world-order-in-their-own-words/
Trump has no support of any kind that will help him keep his Presidency. He is already out the door and only his ego prevents him from seeing this truth.
I predict that not only that but the Globalists “Deep State” will ensure his entire family’s name will be mud more generations to come. They’ll go after Junior, Ivanka and all of the other off shoots.
Trump’s ego is so large he has no idea what is going on. Not a clue. He actually thinks that he, unlike any other person on the planet, can survive the type of investigation that Mueller is doing. NO ONE could survive such investigations, no one, especially the innocent. He is finished.
Trump thought playing ball with the Globalists would work in his favor, boy was he wrong. Trump will be a destroyed man as he leaves office, completely and totally destroyed. And as he leaves he is not leaving a Trump administration because almost all of his appointee’s have NOT been confirmed, there is no “Trump” administration, he is simply leaving the firmly entrenched Islamist/Globalist administration. An administration intent on the destruction of all 1St World Western Nations.
There is a massive coup going on against Trump. See https://www.infowars.com/mcmaster-purging-key-trump-allies/ to get an idea of what is really going on.
The real coup is against what shreds are left of a free humanity. The rest is staged distraction theater of the absurd. “They” want nothing less than complete control over everything we do, say, and think. It’s the deep capture of human consciousness by psychopath parasites that puppeteer every nation.

After all of these years of DC corruption revealing itself, we the people are still stuck in playing the pretend game of “we have a legitimate government”. Deep down everyone knows this is a lie, but we keep playing along. Nothing good can come from this. Going along to get along NEVER works. Just ask the German people.
Don’t prove to the world we have become so lost that crash and burn is the only outcome.
We have laws on the books that are being skirted by money that would put these criminals where they belong.
The nation cannot have two sets of laws. They must apply equally to everyone or they are useless, and we must show the intelligence and courage to apply those laws to the criminals whoever they are.
Let their actions define their fate not titles or wealth.
President Trump needs to enact an Emergency Executive Order ASAP removing and exempting Russia from the sanctions, and overturning the law that the Senate and House passed out of contempt for the U.S. President and the American people!
Russia did NOT interfere with the el-ections, and has NOT threatened the U.S.!
This is a very dangerous game going on here, and the Deep State and Congress are responsible for it!!
Call the White House at 1-202-456-1414 today, and ask for the sanctions to be lifted before any more retaliatory actions get out of hand for both countries!
Insist that President Trump and President Putin meet at the soonest possible opportunity to resolve the problems, and to set-up free trade between both countries! In doing so, the Globalist Deep State will be defeated!
See Dr. Paul Craig Robert’s interview on American Watchdog online on You Tube.
Then, go see the movies ‘The Day After’ and ‘By Dawn’s Early Light’ and ‘Twilight’s Last Gleaming’.
Until the problems being caused by the globalist Deep State are resolved between the U.S. and Russia, every family should not be trusting their Senators and Congress Critters ; stock-up on food, water, containerize your basements, & if you don’t have one, get an underground shelter in place ASAP!
Left wing, right wing, are both hermetically sealed to the same old filthy bird so both wings are similarly filthy. They have ONE boss, all of them, and here’s a hint: He’s not an American. The left/right paradigm was a psyop planned to divide us, and here we are, playing left/right politics, wasting time so we don’t fight the bird. It even goes deeper, Trump and Putin are buddies, just like Obama and Trump are buddies, even Hillary’s a buddy. All world leaders are in on the quest for a NWO of total global control and ownership, and everything they do is a step toward that goal.These traitors are all in cahoots with each other to keep us fighting one another even nation against nation, again, so we don’t fight them.
This new global war game they’ve come out with will be just smoke & mirrors, but many of these “drills” “go into (fake) live”, in fact, Jon Rappaport, an author here wrote a great article about drills amazingly going live. Watch, this war game “drill” have a planned “whoopsie!” and they’ll tell us something like, which will be an out and out lie, “Russia just bombed Alaska”, so we’re bombing the Kremlin or some such garbage.
They control the media, so they can put on the tele or internet whatever fake crap they want, and they’re experts at faking events like this, so this war game just might be the catalyst for the NWO’s precious WW3. It’s all fake, and I’m not saying they won’t sacrifice their soldiers or use fake bombs, because they do want a massive culling, but the plan to begin WW3 has been in the incubator for decades, at least since the end of the 2nd fake World War (people really died, but the parties fighting each other are buddies.
Excerpts from Jon’s article proving staged drills were happening at the same time as these “events”
The November 13, 2015, Paris attacks: “Since the Charlie Hebdo attacks in January, from which 16 people died, Paris-area ambulance crews and emergency personnel have taken part in regular exercises designed to test their readiness for possible attacks. One such exercise was held on Friday morning, the day of the latest terror attacks. In a twist of fate, the simulated emergency was a mass shooting, according to Dr. Mathieu Raux, emergency room chief at the Pitié-Salpetrière hospital in Paris.” (Bloomberg, 11/17/15, “Hours Before the Terror Attacks, Paris Practiced for a Mass Shooting”)
The Charleston, South Carolina, church shooting, June 17, 2015: See The Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers Advanced Training Schedule chart (in the article), which lists training courses in various locations. The chart indicates that, in Charleston, there was an “Active Shooter Threat Instructor Program” from June 15 to June 19, which overlapped the church shooting. (humansarefree.com, 6/24/15, “‘Active Shooter Drills’ Took Place in the Same Day as Charleston Shooting…”)
Boston Marathon attack, April 15, 2013: In this case, the training exercise was called off, because the real thing happened before the exercise took place—“…the DHS-funded drill, known as ‘Operation Urban Shield,’ was intended to take place during the summer, according to the Boston Globe — that is until the ‘real’ event beat it to the punch. But the drill itinerary so closely resembles what actually occurred the day of the bombings that even the mainstream media source responsible for bringing it to light could not help but point out this incredible ‘coincidence,’ …The [training exercise] scenario had been carefully planned: A terrorist group prepared to hurt vast numbers of people around Boston would leave backpacks filled with explosives at Faneuil Hall, the Seaport District, and in other towns, spreading waves of panic and fear, explains the Boston Globe…” (Natural News, 6/22/13, “DHS documents prove Boston Marathon bombing was false flag ‘drill’ planned months in advance”)
Sandy Hook school shooting, December 14, 2012: “By grim coincidence, even as the terrible events were unfolding in Newtown on Friday morning, the Putnam County Emergency Response Team (‘ERT’) happened to be assembled for regular training in Carmel, and team members were at that very moment engaged in a mock scenario of an active-shooter in a school. The ERT is comprised of specially trained and heavily armed officers from the Sheriff’s Office and the Carmel and Kent Police Departments. When news broke of the Newtown shooting, the Putnam County ERT commander called Newtown Police and offered to have the ERT respond to the Sandy Hook school, but that response was not needed because Connecticut police had already secured the scene.” (Southeast-Brewster Patch newspaper, 12/18/12, “Sheriff: Putnam Officials to Talk School Safety This Afternoon”)
The July 20, 2012, Aurora, Colorado, “Batman” shooting: “The tragedy that played out in an Aurora movie theater Friday was ironically paralleled as a classroom learning experience in a medical school in Parker the same day. Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine is in the middle of holding specialized classes in disaster life support for 150 second-year medical students. Along with response to natural disasters like hurricanes and floods and terrorist attacks, one of the scenarios being used to train the students is how to respond if a shooter fires at people in a movie theater and also uses a bomb in the attack. ‘The irony is amazing, just amazing,’ said Rocky Vista Dean Dr. Bruce Dubin.” (Denver Post, 7/21/12, “Real life shooting imitates training exercise at Parker medical school”)
The Oslo bombing/shooting attack, July 22, 2011: “Only hours before Anders Behring Breivik began shooting children on Utøya, the police emergency squad concluded an exercise where they practiced an almost identical situation. Four days in advance, and also the same Friday the attack was carried out, the police special unit trained on an ongoing terror campaign that was approximately equal to the situation that hours later, met the 22 police officers within the emergency squad on Utøya. As far as Aftenposten has been informed, the training transcended directly into what the policed then faced in the Tyrifjord that very day; a mobile terror attack, in which one or more perpetrators only goal was to shoot as many people as possible and then shoot the police when they arrived. Only 26 minutes after the emergency squad’s training had concluded, the car bomb went off in the government quarter. The Emergency Squad arrived early on the scene.” (publicintelligence.net, 8/30/11, “Norwegian Police Conducted Drill for ‘Almost Identical’ Scenario Minutes Before Utoya Massacre”)
The 7/7/2005 bomb attacks on the London underground: “A fictional ‘scenario’ of multiple bomb attacks on London’s underground took place at exactly the same time as the bomb attack on July 7, 2005.
“Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants, a private firm on contract to the London Metropolitan Police, described in a BBC interview how he had organized and conducted the anti-terror drill, on behalf of an unnamed business client.
“The fictional scenario was based on simultaneous bombs going off at exactly the same time at the underground stations where the real attacks were occurring:
POWER: At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now.
HOST: To get this quite straight, you were running an exercise to see how you would cope with this and it happened while you were running the exercise?
POWER: Precisely, and it was about half past nine this morning, we planned this for a company and for obvious reasons I don’t want to reveal their name but they’re listening and they’ll know it. And we had a room full of crisis managers for the first time they’d met and so within five minutes we made a pretty rapid decision that this is the real one and so we went through the correct drills of activating crisis management procedures to jump from slow time to quick time thinking and so on. (BBC Radio Interview, 7 July 2005—as reported at Global Research, 8/8/15, “Ten Years Ago: The London 7/7 Mock Terror Drill: What Relationship to the Real Time Terror Attacks?”)
9/11/01 attacks on Trade Center and the Pentagon: No less than 22 drills took place on that day, among which was a National Reconnaissance Office exercise in Chantilly, Virginia, involving a simulated plane crashing into a tall building. (See Kevin Barrett’s chart of 9/11 training exercises “The 46 drills, operations, war games, and activities of 9/11”, based on Webster Tarpley’s book, 9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA (5th Ed))
jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2015/11/21/training-exercises-dovetail-with-mass-shootings/
And these don’t even count the drills before the staged “truck gone wild” events… ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE AND WE ARE MERELY PLAYERS.
Brandon is correct. There is simply no excuse for Trump not taking this to the American people, even before this bill passed Congress. FDR would have had a series of fireside chats. Today’s equivalent is Twitter with an embedded video. He could have motivated people to contact the Reps. and Sens. Even if he had lost the fight, he would have gone down fighting and perhaps laid the groundwork for defying the bill without being impeached and removed.
That’s assuming Trump wasn’t a psy op from the beginning. And why doesn’t this writer acknowledge Russia’s deep state is tightly interwoven with the same deep state that fully captured the US in 1913 – they’re one and the same. Russia is quickly shifting into a totalitarian state as it adopts UN Agenda 2030, the Kremlin terms it “Strategy 2030” (the wealthy Gulf oil nations term it “Vision 2030”). Qatar being one of these gulf oil nations and member of the GCC regional government purchased a 20% stake in Russia’s Rosneft two months ago. In May, Trump sent US troops to protect Qatar’s big oil investment interests in Somalia. At the same time this year, the US Establishment and Pentagon praised Russian troops working in Libya to stabilize it politically as Rosneft looks to make a deal for a big stake in Libya’s oil. And what about Bill Gates, Podesta, Clintons, and the powerful Trilateralist Commission (Bushes, Clintons, Summers, Greenspan, et al) spearheading the creation of Russia’s Skolkovo project, a UN Smart City Eurasian version of Silicon Valley as a large eastern hub for global technocracy. Hillary as Sec of State was censured by the FBI for transferring advanced classified tech to Skolkovo, including military tech (for which she and Podesta received $35M in donations to their foundations gifted by Russian oligarchs tied to Skolkovo).
These are fascist bedfellows serving the Rothschild agenda and endgame.
No, it’s not assuming anything of the sort. I simply said there’s no excuse for Trump’s behavior. Your first sentence implies that if Trump were a psyop, that would be a valid excuse. I disagree. In fact, my observation, which stands on its own, implies one of two things. Either 1) Trump is an incompetent buffoon who has appointed incompetent advisors as well, or 2) Trump is indeed a psyop and tool of the Deep State or the Rothschilds or the Kazarrian cabal or the Illuminati or whatever grand control mechanism you want to name. He has clearly done nothing to inspire the US Sheeple to rise up and demand anything of Congress, so it’s either 1) or 2). Of course, within 2) is the possibility that this tool has been intimidated into being a tool.
I hear you and catch your drift. I meant IF we are to expect a different outcome from a puppet in chief other than serving the Deep State (with a helping of Kabuki rhetoric) then we are placing our energy and hopes in the wrong basket.
The given in alt should have been the acknowledgement that after the assassination of JFK, every POTUS has been a puppet, the office itself recognized by researchers and academics (e.g. Chomsky, Chussodovsky) to be now merely ‘ceremonial’ – formally accomplished when Carter and the Trilateralist fully captured the executive branch.
Moreover, the author of this article does not acknowledge the rich amount of solid evidence the pattern is international. Geopolitical Kabuki theater. Meanwhile the clock runs out as the biometric control grid expands globally and here in the US Trump et al move to privatize everything that’s not nailed down (public infrastructure), thus performing an end run around the stalled treaties. This process increases “interdependence”, one of the main pillars of the NWO’s new economic and political paradigm (mainly being foisted under the banner of 2030). Privatization also eviscerates citizen influence at the local and state levels, much as NAFTA began chipping away at. BTW, this process was also helped along in Dec. 2015 when congress passed a 2016 budget and slipped in a legal provision revoking a decades old tax on foreign investors purchasing American real estate. Who is connecting all the big dots for us on the global enslavement of humanity? We need to network now, imho.
He has to be very careful he doesn’t show “support” for russia in anyway to the lynch mob. He cannot only not have anything to do with them, he cannot even have the appearance he might.
