Our Long National Nightmare Is Just Beginning

October 23rd, 2016

by Stephen Lendman

In less than three weeks, get used to hearing about president-elect Hillary, she and husband Bill heading back to the White House in January for a third co-presidential term - by fair or foul means.

What’s coming should terrify everyone. She’ll largely be calling the shots this time, surrounded with likeminded neocons, war lords, recycled Wall Street crooks, and other assorted miscreants.

The most perilous time in world history is about to worsen with her as US president. Expect America’s war on humanity to escalate dramatically, perhaps striking US soil for the first time since war with Britain in 1812.

It involved land and naval battles, lasting over two-and-a-half years. British forces occupied Washington, setting public buildings ablaze, including the White House (then called the Presidential Mansion) and Capitol Hill.

It was skirmish-like compared to what’s coming if Hillary confronts Russia and China belligerently, risking possible nuclear war, turning cities like Washington to smoldering rubble if launched.

Major flashpoints in Syria, Ukraine and the South China Sea could ignite US/Sino-Russia conflict, a potential doomsday scenario. Uninformed, indifferent and distracted Americans don’t realize the clear and present danger.

Moscow justifiably fears tens of thousands of US-led NATO combat troops in Eastern Europe. Mobilized provocatively near its border could be prelude for explosive war like nothing matching it earlier.

Conflicts in Syria and Ukraine could ignite it. So could increasing US provocations in the South China Sea, Pentagon warships challenging Beijing’s right to its own waters and territory.

On Friday, US navy guided missile destroyer USS Decatur sailed perilously close to China’s Nansha Islands - without entering their 12 nautical mile territorial limits.

Beijing called the incident “illegal” and “provocative.” Two Chinese warships warned America’s vessel to leave. China’s military announced increased air and sea patrols as needed - to protect its waters and territory from potential hostile acts.

Beijing’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said America “severely violated China’s sovereignty and security interests” - calling the latest action “an extremely irresponsible provocative act.”

“The US intentionally created and exaggerated tensions. Beijing will continue to closely watch the maritime and air situation and will take all measures that are necessary to defend China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime interests.”

The action was Washington’s latest provocation, following numerous earlier ones, four in 2016 alone, last occurring in May.

Will things escalate dangerously with Hillary as US president? Will China be more threatened than already? Will America again wage war in Asia, last time losing to Vietnam, China a much more formidable challenge?

Will Hillary attack Russia - perhaps using a 9/11 type false flag as pretext for naked aggression?

Washington’s rage for global dominance threatens everyone, everywhere, especially with an emotionally unstable war goddess in charge.

Will Americans only awaken to the threat when it’s too late to matter? Will Hillary’s ascension to power doom us all?

  • The Pretender's Magic is their diversity in musical range. Mystifying the sultry blues of "Blue Sun" to the punk-infused anthems like "Brass in Pocket," the band slips into these heterogeneous grooves with greased skids. Chrissie's wide-ranging influences pair with The Pretenders, evolving while retaining core elements of its personality. The eclectic portfolio will consistently deliver a "new" live surprise. Sorry, but there is no raucous Lynyrd Skynyrd "Play Free Bird" here. Everybody has a favorite, many favorites. The diversity of the songs makes every new and old fan curious to learn more about one aspect or another of the band's expression.
