The Game

As the reality show version of Game of Thronescontinues to play out in the Oval Office the world lurches ever closer to another world war. Where to even begin keeping score of the incredible developments that have unfolded over the past week? Let's just briefly go over a few of the major headlines that have played out since the end of March:

Steven Bannon

Yeah, its been that kind of a week. And all of this unfolds against the backdrop of an ever increasing military build up in Eastern Asia while Trump is meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping for the first time this weekend.

Clearly, there has been some type of reversal of fortunes in the Trump administration. In the preceding weeks foreign policy concerns seemed to have shifted to China with Trump's first meeting with the Chinese president looming. The statements made by Tillerson and Haley on March 30 seemed to mark the end of of US efforts to escalate tensions with Russia, seemingly in anticipation of greater hostilities with China. The emerging Susan Rice scandal appeared to give Trump further leverage in his efforts to pursue a different foreign policy with Russia, if he so chose.

But then beginning this week a new offensive was begun by the anti-Russia faction of the deep state. Prince's meeting with Russian officials in January is leaked on Monday of this week and then the highly dubious chemical attack in Syria unfolds on Tuesday.

While the phrase "false flag" has become far too casually used by the conspiratorial right, the fact is there is absolutely no logical reason for Syria or Russia to engage in the use of chemical warfare at this point. Tillerson and Haley had both supported Assad's rule on Thursday, signaling a winding down of US operations in Syria, and then less than a week later Assad decides to gas his own people with sarin gas? What could possibly be gained from such actions?

Then, the day after this absurdity, Bannon is removed from the National Security Council, likely in preparation for the US attacks launched against the Syrian government the next day. Many people will no doubt point to Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, for this reversal in fortunes. Kushner was reportedly a lifelong Democrat and donor prior to Trump's campaign. He is also reputed to be a Zionist and is Trump's chief liaison to Jewish elites who such played a major role in Trump's campaign.

It is no doubt Kushner's Israeli connections that many will point to for the Trump administration's sudden about face and there is some merit here. Israel regards Iran as the greatest threat to its security at present and Iran's involvement in the Syrian Civil War is seen as an extension of this threat. Prominent Zionists have invested a lot in Trump and thus far his administration has abandoned any pretext of the detente begun by the Obama administration.

But here's the thing: Many pro-Russian Trump officials such as Bannon and former National Security Advisor General Michael Flynn are as anti-Iran as it gets. Reportedly Erik Prince's visit with Russian officials was to convince Putin to withdraw support from Iran for further US actions. Prince may even have made head way in this regard as Russia had agreed to assist the US and Israel in expelling Iranian influence in Syria on March 25, days before the pro-Assad proclamations made by Tillerson and Haley.

Will Israel ultimately then benefit from the present escalation? Possibly not, as the current events feel like they have a lot more to do with Russia than Iran. If anything, efforts to topple the Iranian government may move to the back burner if tensions with Russia continue to escalate.

Is the anti-Russian faction that backed Hillary making a comeback then? Most likely, and Kushner may only be playing a side role in helping them change the agenda. The leading role may in fact being played by a man Hillary backers in the intelligence community have reportedly considered staging a coup for. It may even be a fear of this coup that forced Trump's recent actions in Syria.

But what could be forcing Trump's hand? Well, remember, Trump has been linked to billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein along with Bill Clinton. One of Trump's early mentors was attorney Roy Cohn, a man long linked to sexual blackmail operations run by the CIA that may have involved pedophilia.

Meanwhile, there are wide ranging reports that some 1500 pedophiles have been arrested since Trump took office. And it just so happens that Seattle mayor Ed Murray, who has gained fame of late for defying Trump's Justice Department concerning illegal immigration, was named in a lawsuit alleging the sexual abuse of a minor just yesterday.

Even more interesting is the fact that the man heading Trump's Justice Department happens to be a member of the same secretive network as the man Hillary backers have considered staging a coup for. Even Hillary herself is a "friend" of this network.

Ah, but surely all of this is a coincidence.
