• Off the Weekend’s Shabby Cuff.

  Greetings Readers,

  Why is it Roseanne Barr so often acts nutty? At an early age her practicing Jewish family relocated to Salt Lake City and they had to pretend to be Mormons. That would drive anyone nutty.

  During a busy early period in the Trump campaign it was possible a brief mention of a proposed Russian meeting by Trump’s son could have been overlooked by the candidate. These things happen. We the public don’t know at present, perhaps something revealing my surface on this touchy but important collusion issue later.

  More importantly is what does Putin have on Donald Trump? It’s a mystery and there is much room for speculation. My suspicion is money laundering loans and an old hotel sex tape or, or, or money loan-laundering loans and sex tapes. But there is something there that would have discredited and ruined Trump’s presidential bid am sure. 

  A military parade is being planned by the Administration and the Pentagon for August to commemorate the U. S. entry into world War I, which was then at a very late stage of the fighting, but a significant determining factor in the war conclusion by infusing  fresh troops into the exhausted conflict, causing the Germans to withdraw and surrender. There is Congressional opposition to the parade, it will cost an estimated 28 million dollars, and will tear up Washington Streets.
  

  I recently read an internet article of the battle for the Somme which lasted over four months of bitter trench warfare that caused 420,000 British casualties and 200,000 thousand French among other nationalities.  During the Somme engagement 7,000 horses were killed in battle  or slaughtered for meat. Horse selling was a profitable business then.  Most purchases were from the U. S. and South Africa. Trench warfare was bitter indeed, besides enemy artillery and over-the-top suicide attacks, mutinies occurred on both sides, rats, disease, and trench foot were serious annoying everyday problems.

  In Korea decades ago I had a Jewish friend who at the end of WWII was a U. S. MP lieutenant in Paris. His assignment was to round-up Russians that had escaped the Nazis and Russian armies to defect to the West.  The small team found and rounded up a few dozen and then Joe my pal, the Russian interpreter, and an armed guard would directly jeep each one of the captured to the Russian Embassy for a quick turnover to an official. One day Joe asked the Russian interpreter what happens to the soldiers we turnover? The interpreter said, ‘We’ll never see or hear from them again’ probably a bullet to the back of the head in the basement, and who would know? (It was during the confusion in war-torn 1945) Those were Stalin’s dead men walking, no use to cart them al the way back to the Soviet Union. Under the communist regime as in the present defection were not tolerated. That said and you may research it , compared with Stalin Putin is Mother Teresa.

  After the June Singapore Summit who paid for the NorKor hotel bill? After discreet U. S. obbying Singapore did.  An who had to send a transport plane to collect the American soldiers’ Korean War remains? Of course the U. S.  (Trump called it a great moment)  Actually it is the beginning of a long forensic process that may take years as new remains arrive.

  All the Best to you.

  Greetings Readers,

  Whenever I wake up, I put on my make up and say a little prayer for Donald J. Trump, and the people of the United States. Sorry, Aretha Franklin. Well, will we survive his presidency without a new war?

  Yesterday I posted Has Common Superpower Civility Gone to Hell * and apparently it has. Led down that path by our President of the United States who proves to us almost every day of the week he is not fit to be president,and is the most dangerous leader we have ever had in the White House. It was a grave mistake in electing him to the counties highest office, or to any office.

  The Best that can be said, than can be said, of Donald is he is a dangerous thin-skinned want-to-be dictator and is safely in the pocket of Russia and Israel for whatever specific nefarious reasons. Trump fits the term “loose cannon” so well, as we often doubt his sanity.

  At this time we can do little about this regrettable political situation we’re in, but we can look forward  in hopes of a solution that may come in the next several months with the completion of the Mueller investigation report and the November mid-term elections.

  What is disturbing most is just two days ago 80% of the GOP in Congress continued to support Trump, indicating his Putin interview was satisfactory although every political step he takes is to consolidated for his own egotistical individual power. The Media, the Press, former government officials and his many opponents should be aware od the underlying support. So for us  liberal thinkers it’s pay attention and stay tuned!

  Readers what is doubly disturbing is the U. S., Russia, and Israel have combined the largest standing miliary in the world and also over 90% of the world’s nuclear weaponry. I think the president and his colleagues would not be hesitant in using their massive destructive arsenals for Trump or their own ends.

  All the Best to you.

• Has Common Superpower Civility Gone to Hell?

  Posted at 12:14 pm by ronaldstanleymiller, roguedinosur.wordpress.com, on July 23, 2018

  Greetings Readers,

  Civilizations, societies and world governments advocate or demand their citizens attend each other with courtesy, honesty, and civility. I think fit that all the governments of the world should also comply. Herewith is an example of one of  Trump’s outrageous tweet replies just this day to Iran’s President Rouhani’s mild tweet on Sunday. Only the Israeli would appreciate and chuckle.
  

  Rouhani:

  “Do not pursue hostile acts against Iran, because peace with America is the mother of all peace and war with Iran is the mother of all wars.”
  

  Trump:

  To Iran President Rouhani “NEVER THREATEN THE U. S. AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES THE WORLD OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. THE U. S. NO LONGER IS A COUNTRY WILL STAND FOR YOUR DESTRUCTIVE WORDS OF VIOLENCE AND DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS.” Wow!

  Trump’s tweet is definitely overstated and dangerous. And by the way, support by the GOP has reached for Trump a record high in spite of a great deal of Media scorn.

  But on to greater disregard for humanity and civility.

  In the Summer of 1953 the U. S. and Britain overthrew the democratically elected government of Iran for its prodigious oil reserve, the third largest at the time, and replaced it by selected 25-year-old Shah who ruled the country with the guidance of American for the next 24 years. There was never recognition nor an apology for the intervention, It was a coverup of which the chickens came home to roost two and three decades later.

  In 1983 Korean Air flight 777 was in route to Seoul, Korea from Anchorage, Alaska. While passing over the Japanese Sea was deliberately shot down by a single Russian fighter jet, killing 269 aboard. No apology was given, claiming the passenger plane, a Boeing 747, was within Russian airspace and on a spying mission. No apology or reparations were provide the families.

  In 1988 a U. S. Naval vessel in the Straits of Hormuz mistakenly shot down Iranian passenger flight 655 which on its way from Tehran to Dubai killing 290 on board. Again no apology, recognition or reparations was provided to this date. The tragedy has been placed into the dust bin of history and forgotten.

  More recently In July 2014 Malaysian Flight MH17 with 283 passenger and 15 crew was heading toward Kuana Lumpur from Amsterdam and was shot down by a Russian made missile by alleged Yukrainian Insurgents. The tragedy continues to be under investigation after several years and not near concluded, nor as above chances of justice for the victims and reparations are slim indeed.

  All the Best.

  Ron Miller.

  History: Cubana flight 455 on route to Barbados to  Jamaica was down on 6 October 1975 by Cuban anti-Castro terrorist using dynamite and C-4 explosives killing 76 aboard. Four men were convicted in Venezuela and sentence to 20 year for the act. Louis Padrosa the CIA linked leader miraculously was not convicted and denied any connection with the operation. He later wrote a book detailing the operation while moving to Miami, Florida in retirement.

• America’s Manchurian Candidate?

  Posted at 12:56 pm by ronaldstanleymiller, roguedinosur.wordpress.com, on July 19, 2018

  Greetings Readers,

  Let us not beat around the bush, Russia was a significant and determining factor in the election of  Donald J. Trump. He was their candidate and Trump owes them. Moreover, I believe Putin has something more and very disruptive and devastating on Trump personally, which if revealed would have immediately ruined his candidacy in 2016.

  The elephant in the room is what is it the Ruskies have on the president. It’s not merely Trump admiration for leaders of strong authority…. Putin, Kim, Duarte.
  

  President Trump will always slant international issues in Russia’s favor careful not to step on Russian policy toes while attempting to be not too obvious with E. U. nations and others.

  Trump is an outstanding demagogue – showman and deal making manipulator, but to a large extent as we have seen a novice in international political affairs and diplomatic strategy. Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin have manipulated Trump the past year and a half. What? Can you believe it North Korea will begin denuclearizing and give up its nuclear tipped missiles while Putin will have a heart and cease meddling in U. S. business? Not a chance.

  Each will handle the Trump Administration in their own deceptive ways which will not be so accommodating as Trump says they will.

  Could Obama have done more to curb the secret Russian pro-Trump election campaign intervention? Yes, he could have, but Obama and the Democrats were so confident Hillary Clinton would win the presidency hands-down against the volatile renegade GOP candidate they became over-confident and were badly mistaken.

  All the Best.

  Ron Miller
