On Monday, James Mattis, US defence secretary, warned that the US would go to war with North Korea if the reclusive nation fired at Guam.

“I think if they fire at the US, it could escalate into war very quickly. Yes, that’s called war, if they shoot at us,” he said.

Hours later, North Korean media trumpeted a visit by leader Kim Jong Un to the country’s strategic missile force, saying that after “earnest” discussions Mr Kim would “wait a little more” before making a decision on whether to fire four medium range missiles into the vicinity of Guam.

Kek.

More news of Bannon leaving the White House.

Not sure what to make of it.

Bannons removal from the NSC could be seen as the step that made these sanctions against Russia possible, which seems to be driving the Russians into the zone of the Chinese - a dumb move, surely.

Bannons ideas are functional, smart, aimed at long term results.

On the other hand, of course Trump is capable of a lot through is own genius, it was he who discovered the merit in Bannon, who picked Bannon and thereby ensured his election.

Trump is always calculating the strategic play of both sides. He has to play both sides against, and for, each other. That is the only way forward, it seems. If he is getting rid of Bannon then Trump must be getting something very important in return, but we may never know what it is.

Yeah, thats my thinking as well
Of course it is also not at all said that officially removing Bannon has any real implications. Bannon and he can still talk privately, and it is up to Trump what he will do with what Bannon says.

Exactly right. In fact Trump probably got a lot from this 'deal' of having Bannon leave. Bannon may have chosen to resign, but Trump could have kept him on, of course. Bannon is no quitter. But just imagine how much Trump could have gotten from this deal, considering how much the regressive left hates Bannon. And now as you say, he can still continue to talk and advise, or perhaps enter into other areas of support for Trump now, like returning to Breitbart or starting a new media company.

But it is bad nonetheless, considering how much Trump supporters like Bannon, and Bannon gives a good image next to Trump, the two of them together in the WH. Oh well. This is a game of deadly stakes, no one knows that better than Trump. Sometimes you have to lose the battle to win the war.

Bannon was not just Trump’s master strategist, the man who turned a failing campaign around in August 2016 and led one of the most remarkable come-from-behind victories in political history. He was also the conservative spine of the administration. His infamous whiteboard in the West Wing listed the promises Trump had made to the voters, and he was determined to check as many of them off as possible. Steve Bannon personified the Trump agenda.

With Bannon gone, there is no guarantee that Trump will stick to the plan. That is why — too late, in retrospect — conservative leaders wrote to the president Friday to advise him that Bannon and campaign manager-turned-counselor Kellyanne Conway were too valuable to lose. Bannon had delivered for the movement, reportedly convincing President Trump to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accords, and to visit Israel on his first trip abroad.

Bannon was also probably the only person who could deliver honest advice and criticism to the president, because he did not need the job. He is a self-made man, and not a Washington climber. Thus it was that Bannon reportedly told Trump that firing former FBI director James Comey would be more trouble than it was worth. He was right.

Well, Bannon has said that he is still going to actively support Trump so apparently there aren't too many hurt feelings about what happened.

Yes we were right. He immediately returns to Breitbart and declares holy war on Trump's enemies. Haha, fuck yes.

Now imagine how the fucktards with whom Trump negotiated to remove Bannon feel, seeing how they got played like little bitches. I guarantee you Trump secured some kind of tangible benefits and trade/offs behind the scenes for agreeing to ax Bannon.

I've never seen such pure uncompromising and unwavering strategic genius in politics before. Trump is an entirely new breed of politician, or rather a return of an older breed and type that Marxist globalist cucktardery had all but killed off.

Did you see that at the bottom? Additional reporting by David Lynch. Hahaha.

Reality and cinema blending together. Lynch's films have a deeply disturbing, surreal, dark tone to them, and are basically all about the endless mirror-halls of illusions and manipulations that are the "soul" of the modern world. Lynch is a sick fuck but if you think about it, modern media and political class are basically a David Lynch film personified.

The original Twin Peaks which Lynch didn't do alone but with the diametrically opposed spirit Mark Frost, is still the piece of art that maybe impressed itself on me the deepest.
What a piece of merciless genius that is. I often shiver thinking about how insanely powerful its emotions are.



"She's dead... wrapped in plastic."


Fuck me.

The US population on the whole seems to be unworthy of the future. Electing Trump prevented the rest of the world from being turned to radioactive ashes, but ever since the election, the "educated masses" of America, supported by those from the rest of the world, have been openly sabotaging the sovereignty of the US, and it is not coming to an end. Trump is having to cave on some issues, meaning danger is being reintroduced into the equation.

Stephen Colberts show is pure Reichspropaganda, I had figured the man for somewhat self-aware, but clearly he is a raging vat of pills, like an increasingly large portion of the western, and especially US population. I would like to see a list of the "medicines" various famous politicians and media figures are taking. There isn't much perspective left for the Angosaxon world, it starts to occur to me. Germany looks to be winning the long term battle.

Britain has perhaps never been as thoroughly weakened as she is now.
She came into the EU for her own interests, then brought it to ruin by insisting that all sorts of degenerate states from the East join, then leaves.... and then things don't go the way she planned.

The eve of the Brexit referendum I figured I really wanted England to remain, as I suddenly saw how much they profit from it - I had an intuition of what would happen in case of exit. That is happening now. They are losing entirely their international first rate relevance, and Germany now has no competition within the EU.

Repeat: Germany now has no competition within the EU.

Meaning the entire EU market belongs to the Germans. This market is huge.



As you can see here it is roughly the size of the US and the Chinese economies, but has a healthier rate of export vs import, and the European economy is improving fast now that its interests have been centralized.

As Ive noticed before, the numbers available online for the size of economies are wildly disparate, with deviations up to and over 100% between some sites. For example, the NYSE is said to be worth now 10 trillion, then 20 trillion, which can simply be due to one party adding up market caps and the other trade volumes.

A detailed study of sectors, industries and their specific export and import numbers in different temporal metrics, is evidently necessary at the very least.

Still, meandering on the surface, we always have a few nifty images and lists.

#3 Japan $4.4 trillion 5.9%
#4 Germany $3.4 trillion 4.5%

#7 India $2.1 trillion 2.8%
#8 Italy $1.8 trillion 2.5%

I dont know from when these numbers are, but I would be interested to see what happens to the distance between England on het one hand and France and Italy. A lot of capital industry will be shifting from the former to the latter.

In any case I want to know now what these trillions are made of in each case.
They are maybe the paid price of imports plus exports.
In that case the number should be cut in half to represent the actual volume of exchange, which is different from the total volume. This is where the tricky begins, or ends, in any case why numbers are so well used for speculation and not so well for indication.

The placement of Russia so far down the list shows that economies aren't accurately measured in dollars.
The Russian apparatus that controls their borders and foreign interests surely exceeds by itself the economies of several nations in the top 10, but this is not reported, certainly not taxed and let alone (openly) traded on.

Further, the land mass itself is worth more than all of Europe put together, if we calculate in terms of resources. So a very different set of metrics would be required to give a clear image of economy in the long term. We know that Russia will be playing a great part in world economics regardless of their reported size, a much greater part than France, or than Italy.

Nice to hear from Bannon again.

Well, if it's shit it ought to be called shit.

I am still anti-globalization. Likely more so than I was a year ago.

Damn.

Theresa May has been applauded by Brussels for her “constructive spirit” after she set out plans to keep Britain in the EU in all but name until 2021, five years after the country voted to leave the bloc.

In a conciliatory speech in Florence, Mrs May also said Britain would pay €20bn into the EU budget after Brexit and signalled the contribution was only a downpayment on what could be a considerably larger exit bill.

Although Britain will formally leave the EU in March 2019, under Mrs May’s model it would still be covered by all EU rules, European court judgments, the free movement of EU workers and budgetary contributions to Brussels until the transition ends.

The main change in 2019 would be Britain no longer having a vote in Brussels policymaking; Mrs May did not deny that during the transition the UK would have to apply new EU laws it did not have a say in drafting.

The speech delighted business leaders who believe Mrs May’s plan for a transition period of “around two years” after Brexit in March 2019 will avoid a cliff-edge and was welcomed by Michel Barnier, the EU’s chief negotiator.

I knew they were on the losing hand, but this is pretty fucking pathetic.

Ahaha, yes Brits are so cucked. Too funny. Germany owns Britain, it seems.

Just in time for Germanys absolute rulership, it introduces some soul into its politics; the first human party is entering their parliament.
Of course, because they are rational, they are feared and defined as "nazis", lol.

Rightwing AfD set for historic breakthrough in German elections

Nationalists poised to inject conflict into Bundestag tradition of consensus politics

This year’s election is set to go down in history as the moment Germany’s most successful rightwing party since the second world war stormed into parliament.

A poll released two days before Sunday’s vote suggested the Alternative for Germany (AfD) could win as much as 13 per cent and about 85 seats, making it the third-biggest party in the Bundestag.

This would be an extraordinary feat for a fiercely anti-immigration, anti-Islam organisation that was formed only four years ago and was long dismissed as a fringe phenomenon. It would also be the first time such a rightwing party has sat in the German parliament in more than 50 years.

The AfD’s success has come as a shock to moderates who thought the horrors of Germany’s Nazi past had immunised the country to the appeal of hard-right nationalism. They are now trying frantically to assess how the party’s breakthrough will affect the country’s political culture.

This month, Sigmar Gabriel, the foreign minister, admitted to a certain sadness in the last session of the outgoing parliament — “because I knew it was highly likely that when I come back to the Bundestag there will be real Nazis standing at the podium for the first time since 1945”.

The initial signs are that this year’s election could be a watershed moment, ending old ways of doing things in the Bundestag. The AfD, which revels in breaking taboos and attacking the “cartel” politics of the “old parties”, will inject more conflict into a system that has for decades leaned towards consensus and compromise.

We will try to revive a culture of debate and provide a real alternative to the mushy consensus we have now

ALEXANDER GAULAND, AFD CANDIDATE

Germans have had a foretaste during the election campaign, in which AfD supporters have routinely drowned out Angela Merkel’s stump speeches with choruses of whistles and boos and lambast the chancellor as a “liar”, “traitor” and “oath-breaker”.

The party’s entry into parliament will “lead to a polarisation of political debate,” says Alexander Hensel of the Göttingen Institute for Democracy Research, who has studied the AfD’s performance in Germany’s regional legislatures. “You will see a mixture of sharp critiques of the established “cartel” parties, as well as personal attacks on individual politicians and deliberate provocations to raise the party’s profile.”

Alexander Gauland, one of the AfD’s top two candidates, says the party will revive a parliamentary system that has fallen into torpor under Ms Merkel. “Can you name me one interesting debate we had over the Greek bailout? The NSA espionage affair? The Russia sanctions?”, Mr Gauland said last week. “We will try to revive a culture of debate and provide a real alternative to the mushy consensus we have now.”

There are fears the AfD could introduce a shrilly radical tone not seen in Germany’s national parliament since the 1930s. The party’s list of Bundestag candidates includes hard-right ideologues, conspiracy theorists and politicians with close ties to extremist organisations ranging from radical Burschenschaften, or student leagues, to neo-Nazi groups.


AfD leader Frauke Petry votes in Leipzig. Her party is expected to gain up to 13 per cent of the ballot AP
One of its top candidates is Jens Maier, a judge, who has criticised Germany’s “cult of shame” over the war. Another is Wilhelm von Gottberg, who has described the holocaust as a “myth, a dogma that is protected from all free historical research”. Another is Petr Bystron, who has been on German domestic intelligence’s watchlist since March because of his support for the extreme rightwing Identitarian Movement.

The list also includes figures such as Sebastian Münzenmaier, who is on trial on charges of grievous bodily harm and attempted robbery over an alleged attack on a group of FSV Mainz 05 football fans in 2012.

A study published last month by the Duisburg Institute of Speech and Social Research found that of the 235 candidates put up by the AfD, 98 are extreme rightwingers and only 40 are from the moderate wing of the party. (The study said 97 of the candidates kept such a low profile that it was hard to tell where they stood politically).

The AfD was not always so rightwing, beginning life in 2013 as a Eurosceptic “professors’ party” opposed to the Greek bailouts. But it shifted sharply to the right after an internal coup in 2015 that left Frauke Petry in charge. She turned it into Germany’s leading critic of Ms Merkel’s open-door refugee policy, a shift that boosted its rating in opinion polls as public misgivings about the refugee influx grew. By this summer it had gained representation in 13 of Germany’s 16 regional parliaments.

Political scientists say Mr Gabriel’s designation of the AfD as a bunch of Nazis was wrong. Michael Wolffsohn, the German-Israeli historian, says the AfD is typical of the new crop of European rightwing parties that have emerged as “reactions to new problems which haven’t been dealt with by the traditional parties” — such as the abuse of the right to asylum and the rise of Islamist terrorism.

Jürgen Falter, politics professor at Mainz university, says that the AfD’s entry into the Bundestag should not be overdramatised: to him it puts Germany on a par with other EU countries where rightwing parties have long been part of the political landscape.

“[The AfD’s success] is not a cause for concern but a normalisation of German politics after our history,” he adds.

Cant wait for the next thing that happens.
this world is unfolding, its pretty fair to say, to call this era the era After Trump. AT.
'17 is 1 AT. Of course the Rule of Trump is after the Victory of Trump, which is "Trump".  Trump Trumping the Ttrumped on account they ain't no Trump.

Nor Ace.

Year 1 AT, I like this.
