The history of unofficially proven false-flag attacks is much longer and more controversial. For one example out of many, in the years 2012 and 2013, the Obama presidency conspired with the Syria terrorists/rebels to overthrow Assad’s Syria regime and to frame Assad for using chemical weapons on innocent civilians: “Was Chemical Attack in Syria a “False Flag” to Trigger U.S. War?” (https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/asia/item/25785-was-chemical-attack-in-syria-a-false-flag-to-trigger-u-s-war).
Various analysts, including former weapons inspector Richard Lloyd and MIT professor Theodore Postol, also concluded that, during the year 2013, the Syria rebels/terrorists failed to frame Assad for using chemical weapons against civilians: “Is Assad to blame for the chemical weapons attack in Syria?” (http://www.dw.com/en/is-assad-to-blame-for-the-chemical-weapons-attack-in-syria/a-38330217). Professor Theodore Postol also questioned the factuality of the recent chemical bombing that was blamed on Assad’s Syria regime: “US report on Idlib attack ‘misinterprets evidence’, ‘politically motivated – professor” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BAzQwOepcU).
Presidential candidate Trump said he would improve relations with Russia and Syria. President Trump’s Tomahawk strikes achieved the complete opposite. Meanwhile, the Islamic terrorists called ISIS continue to murder infidels: “Church bombings in Egypt terrorize Christians on Palm Sunday” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_1ywHP8do4). We’re suppose to believe ISIS, the moderate terrorists, or the violent rebels in Syria are a better or less worse alternative to Assad’s regime, but that plan totally failed for Libya and hypocritically does not apply for Yemen. Imperialism seeks any excuse to expand its control of global resources and international labor.
Brutally honest imperialism tends to motivate excess rebellion, thus, imperialism typically depends on the moral pretext, false flag attacks, proxy regimes, and proxy rebels. The US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the US will impose justice on all nations against all criminals: “Tillerson: US Will Punish Crimes ‘Anywhere in the World’” (http://news.antiwar.com/2017/04/10/tillerson-us-will-punish-crimes-anywhere-in-the-world/). Imperialism is founded upon hypocrisy, thus, the imperial US regime imposes harsher penalties on independent nations and more forgiving penalties on proxy nations. Some proxy nations include the Saudi regime (which is horrendously guilty of war crimes in Yemen plus the suppression, torture, and execution of infidels, scientists, and unorthodox Muslims), the Israeli regime (which completely guilty of genocide and apartheid against Palestine plus the hypocritical promotion of Jewish supremacists), and the corrupt and incompetent Mexico regime for barbaric crimes against humanity.

Anyhow, during Obama’s presidency, Trump constantly criticized Obama on various subjects. Trump repeatedly tweeted against the Obama administration’s attacks on Syria: “Trump tweet about World War III comes back to haunt him” (http://metro.co.uk/2017/04/07/trump-tweet-about-world-war-iii-comes-back-to-haunt-him-6560159/). See below for Trump’s hypocritical tweets:
* 2012 Oct 9, 2:39 pm: “Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.”
* 2013 Aug 29, 11:14 am: “What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a possible long term conflict? Obama needs Congressional approval.”
* 2013 Sep 5, 6:20 am: “AGAIN, TO OUR VERY FOOLISH LEADER, DO NOT ATTACK SYRIA - IF YOU DO MANY VERY BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN & FROM THAT FIGHT THE U.S. GETS NOTHING!”
* 2013 Aug 31, 2:46 am: “Be prepared, there is a small chance that our horrendous leadership could unknowingly lead us into World War III.”
In other words, Trump constantly says one thing and does another. Trump’s grand promises are as reliable as rotten oak. Maybe Trump yielded to peer pressure. Trump was possibly bribed and/or blackmailed to go along with establishment politics. Trump could have wanted a break from the mainstream media’s ridicules and criticism. Trump probably wanted to increase his low approval ratings. Probability says Trump is a con-artist.
Trump’s history of extravagantly wasteful inheritance, marketing sales-hype, peddling hypocrisy, failed businesses, fake marriages, and political lies clearly prove Trump is a pathological liar or habitual con-artist. Either that, or Trump has a lousy long-term memory and an insanely huge ego: “‘59 Missiles Heading to Iraq’: Trump Forgets Which Country He Bombed, Gets Corrected by Host” (https://latest.com/2017/04/59-missiles-heading-to-iraq-trump-forgets-which-country-he-bombed-gets-corrected-by-host/).
Apparently, Trump’s self-worship is forcing down Steven Bannon’s delusions of grandeur. Allegedly, Bannon said Trump was a “blunt instrument for us”. Allegedly, Bannon was primarily responsible for Trump’s first few weeks in the White House, which has been a disaster. Allegedly, Bannon took too much credit for Trump’s victory over the presidential election. All of these allegations were exploited by the US mainstream media to ridicule Trump as a puppet of Bannon. Allegedly, Trump’s short patience ran out, and he decided to show Bannon who is the real big boss. Recently, Trump demoted Steven Bannon in the National Security Council (NSC). Bannon is allowed to attend some NSC meetings, but he now plays a lesser role. Maybe Trump is actually learning a bit from his mistakes.
Allegedly, Bannon threatened to quit the Trump administration over Bannon’s demotion, but Trump called Bannon’s bluff. Bannon and his propagandists at Breitbart news website tried to spin the situation as a normal change in political duties; a minor defeat that’s overshadowed by a long-term strategy of making America great again, and/or a welcomed alteration, because Bannon did not want to be on the NSC. In public, Trump insisted he is his own strategist (not Bannon), Trump is primarily responsible for his presidential campaign victories, and Bannon played a minor role during Trump’s presidential campaign. Thus, Breitbart news website went into damage-control mode to try to justify the alleged division in the White house. The message boards for Breitbart news site are flooded with confusion, disappointment, and excuses regarding the Trump presidency.
TL;DR? The very most greatest White House is fabulously stuffed with the most manly drama queens and alpha-dog prima donnas.
The melodrama won’t stop. Throughout Obama’s presidency, the GOP supporters kept complaining about the authenticity of Obama’s birth certificate. Under Trump’s presidency, the Democrat Party supporters persistently criticize Trump’s secretive tax returns. On 2017 April 15 (Sat), anti-Trump protesters and pro-Trump protesters continue to clash against each other.
* Some of the political protests got violent: “16 arrested as hundreds of Trump supporters and counter-protesters clash at Berkeley rally” (http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-berkeley-trump-rally-20170415-story.html). Go to YouTube.com for videos of these violent protesters. If these violently bigoted disputes escalate a couple of notches, then America will devolve into a feudal nation where heretics are executed, blasphemous individuals are oppressed, unorthodox groups are gunned down, disputes lead to explosions, a capricious oligarchy has way too much power, and the commoners fanatically obey popular superstitions. For real-life examples, check out the Middle Eastern nations of Saudi Arabia, Israel/Palestine, and Egypt.

A tedious theme: America’s legal system is probably the most complex and expensive legal system in the entire world, but America normally experiences firearm accidents and gun crimes. In 2015 at San Bernardino, CA, a terrorist couple and 4 assistants used firepower to murder 14 people and injure 22 people. In 2017 April 10 (Mon) at San Bernardino, CA, Cedric Anderson (black guy) went to an elementary school, shot his wife Karen Elaine Smith (black woman) to death, accidentally and severely injured 1 student, accidentally killed 1 student (Jonathan Martinez), and finally committed suicide: “2 adults dead, 2 children in critical condition after shooting at San Bernardino elementary school” (http://ktla.com/2017/04/11/san-bernardino-elementary-school-remains-closed-in-wake-of-deadly-shooting/). The shooter’s handgun was possibly illegally obtained.
San Bernardino, CA has a long-term problem with crimes in general and gun crimes: “Gun Homicides in San Bernardino Hit Grim Milestone” (https://www.thetrace.org/2016/04/gun-homicides-san-bernardino-2016/). At least in San Bernardino, CA, a major source of these gun crimes involve Hispanic gangs and black gangs. Across America, gun criminals come from various ethnic backgrounds, but some ethnic groups have higher crimes rates and more dysfunctional families and communities. However political correctness does not allow us to fully identity these facts and develop customized solutions for different communities. Thus, we are forced to put up with sub-optimal one-size-fits-all solutions.
America clearly has a major problem with firearm accidents and gun crimes. The stupid counter-argument is that vehicles kill and injure more Americans per year than handguns and rifles do. The problem with that comparison is that (1) vehicular accidents and automobile crimes do NOT justify firearm accidents and gun crimes (i.e., bad behavior does not justify more bad behavior), (2) people spend vastly more time using their vehicles than using their guns, (3) owning and operating a vehicle requires more paperwork, fees, and tests than owning and operating a gun (which is why the average adult is much more competent with driving than with shooting), and (4) vehicles are designed for transportation, but guns are designed for death and destruction. Killing with a gun is a lot more efficient than killing with a vehicle. That is why police officers and soldiers strongly prefer using their firepower to defeat their adversaries than using their vehicles to crash and/or crush their opponents.
Another simplistic counter-argument is that gun crimes prove gun control does not work. In that case, guns and ammunition should be passed around to everyone of any age like Halloween candy. If all children and adults own guns, ammunition, grenades, rockets, missiles, and nuclear bombs, then America will be super very mega safe. If a system (e.g., gun regulation) is imperfect, then completely get rid of it. In other words, no system is better than an imperfect system. Drunk driving is illegal, but drunk driving accidents still occur, thus, drunk driving should be legal. Texting while driving is illegal, but texting-while-driving accidents still occur, thus, texting while driving should be legal. Stealing and robbery are illegal, but stealing and robbery still occur, thus, stealing and robbery should be legal. Terrorism is illegal, but terrorism still occurs, thus, terrorism should be legal.
Ideally, the great geniuses managing our legal system need to develop better regulations that ensure only competent and honorable people have access to firearms. In the real world, boasting about low standards is the path to make America great again.
The Trump presidency probably won’t fix this trigger-happy problem, because Trump has 2 adult sons who gun down endangered animals, and the Trump presidency wants to create easier hunting regulations: “President Trump Signs Bill [H.J. Res. 69] Lifting Ban on ‘Predator Control’ Hunting Practices in Alaska” (http://www.snopes.com/2017/04/04/house-votes-killing-hibernating-bears-alaska/). For one example out of many, this bill allows hunters to to shoot hibernating bears. Trump does not realize any cowardly moron could pull a trigger and shoot things up. Using a gun against wildlife rarely involves exceptional skill, bravery, and toughness. Shooting animals is mostly about lazy patience and fantasizing about being a badass. Even our primitive ancestors with spears, bows plus arrows, and crossbows plus bolts had an easy time with hunting various animals into extinction or into endangered status.
Hunting is appropriate for decreasing an overpopulation of an animal, self-defense against an animal, and temporarily solving an emergency starvation. Whenever possible, endangered animals should be left alone. Over the long-term, hunting endangered animals and continually expanding human communities into wildife is completely counter-productive. Extinction is permanent. As of now, science is totally incapable of returning an extincted organism back to life. However, the Trump presidency has minimal respect for science and the real world, because the Trump presidency is obsessed with its superstitious self-worship.
US Attorney General Jeff Sessions wants to lower standards for forensics or the scientific analysis of crime: “AG Sessions scraps forensic science panel, suspends FBI testimony review” (https://www.rt.com/usa/384259-sessions-forensics-review-fbi/). Various sources indicate the US court system (which is allegedly the best in the world) has major problems with high costs, double standards in favor of the wealthier and more socially connected, excess bureaucracy, incompetent and/or corrupt jurors, and fake evidence.
* “The FBI’s Forensics Disaster” (http://reason.com/archives/2015/05/05/the-fbis-hair-raising-forensics-disaster)
* “US admits FBI falsified evidence to obtain convictions” (https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2015/04/20/hair-a20.html)
Yeah, factual investigations are overrated. Tangible evidence is unreliable. Law and order should be based on opinions. Apparently, US Attorney General Jeff Sessions is a firm believer in shooting first and asking questions later (especially if the suspect or criminal is non-white). Such a legal system promotes cops who use excessive force and make critical decisions that are based on questionable accusations: “Two Charged [Briton Robert McDaid & American Zachary Lee] Over Swatting That Led To Cops Shooting The Victim [Tyran Dobbs, black guy] With Rubber Bullets” (https://www.kotaku.com.au/2017/04/two-charged-over-swatting-that-led-to-cops-shooting-the-victim-with-rubber-bullets/). The 2 pranksters should serve at least 4 years in a labor camp for attempted murder, vandalism, slander, and abuse of law enforcement. Labor-camp profits go to the criminals’ victim. The cops should be retrained to prioritize factual investigations over unproven accusations.
One critical aspect of science is the continual maximization of accuracy and minimization of errors. Stated differently, science is the perpetual creation of more realistic descriptions. The real world is frequently very different from a person’s or population’s thoughts. This is why the research, development, and production of technology are very difficult for humans, but technology greatly improves people’s quality of life.
A modern legal system or a modern political system need to constantly and humanely analyze trial-and-error (especially with individual and population surveys) in order to continually develop tangible causes-and-effects that improve individuals’ and communities’ quality-of-life. Legal chicanery, double-standard regulations, political slogans, demagoguery, celebrity worship, religious bigotry, dumb-mock-crazy elections, philosophical squabbles, and economic fantasies should be left in museums and other historical records.
