The Architects of Our Present Disaster.
American Greatness ^ | 3.14.2022 | Benjamin Braddock

Posted on 03/17/2022 10:47:29 AM PDT by Carriage Hill

American foreign policy is buckling under its own contradictions. We no longer have the luxury of decadence. The center is not holding, things are falling apart. We have moved on from mass psychosis over vaccines to mass psychosis over the urgent need to go to war with Russia. The sanctions are bad enough; the early economic fallout from them is already causing pain for working and middle-class Americans.

We’re in a heap of trouble. May those responsible suffer greatly for it.

Through our sanctions, might we be doing this work for the Davos Demons of the Great Reset??? Just might help impoverish us all.

This is the money quote:

“The kind of Americans the world fears or respects have been put out of government and military leadership and replaced by a menagerie of nursing home patients, human resources ladies, affirmative action hires, sexual degenerates, and obese four-star generals angling for board seats on the next Theranos start-up. The day of reckoning has arrived.”

Outstanding!

Biden declared upon taking office, “America’s back,” which is only true if you define America as a government run by insane kleptocratic clowns whose problem-solving abilities amount to those of a farmer who sets fire to his cotton fields to drive out the boll weevils.

This administration is in place to punish working Americans and reward those who agitate for the downfall of this nation or who wish to destabilize it or cause violence or economic chaos.

This is by plan.

Good one. They can run their mouths, make ridiculous rules and devise ways to steal Americans blind. Aside from that, they are more useless than a common tick . . . and more disgusting, too.

I protest!

The author of this story is misappropriating the title “Architect” and assigning it to persons lacking the requisite education, degree, testing and licensure.

Signed,

Flarchitect

A most excellent piece. Everyone shoud grab a cup, sit down, and read slowly. Twice.

“Throughout Vladimir Putin’s political career he has watched as American foreign policy has run amuck in the world like a bull in a china shop. He has learned how our leaders operate and understands the treachery of which they are capable. Libya is a good example. Colonel Gaddafi had been cooperating with the United States. He shut down his nuclear program, gave up his weapons of mass destruction, and began opening his country and economy to the world. By 2008, U.S. military leaders were calling Libya a top U.S. ally in combating transnational terrorism. Gaddafi allowed an American embassy to open, and before the paint had even dried the diplomats and spooks posted there were already working on his overthrow. They worked with U.S. and transnational NGOs and foundations to train “pro-democracy” activists and seed an opposition movement.

When the Arab Spring dawned in 2011, violent protests broke out in Libya, spearheaded by radical groups covertly armed by the United States and its allies, and the government tried to quell the rebellion and restore order. The restoration of order was deemed heavy-handed by the United States and NATO and thus the pretext for intervention was established. NATO began intervention by establishing a no-fly zone over Libya, which quickly turned into a bombing and cruise missile campaign against military installations and civilian infrastructure.

Colonel Gaddafi’s reward for cooperating with the American government was to be sodomized with a bayonet on the way to his mob execution. Rather than expressing regret or even responding with a modicum of discretion, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton crowed, “We came, we saw, he died.” Vice President Joe Biden echoed her sentiments, “Whether he’s alive or dead, he’s gone. The people of Libya have gotten rid of a dictator. NATO got it right.” In the wake of Gaddafi’s murder, Libya devolved into utter anarchy with slave markets where you could buy a human being for $40 and a civil war that lasted until 2020. The country became a seedbed of terrorists. Gaddafi’s regime had stood between Italy and Subsaharan Africa. With him out of the picture, Italy and the rest of the EU quickly became overrun with illegal immigrants.

The message the Libya episode sent to governments around the world was clear: You can do everything the Americans ask but there is still an excellent chance that they will put a knife in your back. ...”
