Trump, Putin And Egar Bergen

Trump is smart in a self-interested, tunnel-vision way. He knows how to profit from debt and "down" markets.

Trump has no previous experience in politics.


Putin is smart globally and has been "playing" geopolitics since joining the KGB in 1975.


Trump is to Putin what Mortimer Snerd and Charlie McCarthy were to Edgar Bergen.

"There are two ways of lying, as there are two ways of deceiving customers. If the scale registers 15 ounces, you can say: 'It's a pound.' Your lie will remain relative to an invariable measure of the true. If customers check it, they can see that they are being robbed, and you know by how much you are robbing them: a truth remains as a judge between you. But if the demon induces you to tamper with the scale itself, it is the criterion of the true which is denatured, there is no longer any possible control. And little by little you will forget that you are cheating."

A useful "sanity litmus" is to determine whether an American citizen can forthrightly admit that Trump lies on a scale without precedent in American politics.

God knows we've had politicians who could "put on clinics" for The Prince Of Darkness. But Drumpf's ability to concoct a non-stop tsunami of falsehood is "over the top" of Trump Tower.

"What If A President Loses Control?" My Letter To A Retired Air Force General Friend

http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2017/01/what-if-president-loses-control-my.html


Alan: The following paragraph from "What If A President Loses Control" reveals Eisenhower's view that government only works when "normal humans of good faith (with) some confidence in each other would (act) in accordance with the constitution."

Here is the context for that brief "distillation."

"That Eisenhower-to-Nixon memorandum, dated February 5, 1958, was shown to only a few people, but it was leaked. When Eisenhower, in March, was asked about it at a news conference, he said, “We are trying just to say that we are trying to carry out what normal humans of good faith having some confidence in each other would do in accordance with the language of the Constitution.” As to whether these transfers of power could lead to “a sort of musical chairs,” he replied, “I think it means when the inability is removed he resumes his duties,” although he saw the potential problem it posed. He said, “I admit this: if a man were so deranged that he thought he was able, and the consensus was that he couldn’t, there would have to be something else done, no question.”

The meaning of words is always debatable. 

Conditioned by "fake news,""right wing radio" and the atomization/isolation/self-confirmation of social media there is now real doubt that Americans, as a society, can still define "normal humans" and "good faith." 

It is also evident that America is sorely divided and that "the two sides" of the nation's "political aisle" no longer have "some confidence in each other."

The current state of our body politic recalls the myth of Babel and how one common language was confounded so that people no longer understood each other. 

Usually, the linguistic confusion of Babel is explained by sudden replacement of the common language with multiple tongues. But it is more useful -- and more epistemologically sound -- to posit that our "spoken words" remain the same while their semantic content has changed so radically that "any" two individuals' interpretation of "freedom" will be as divergent as the words "askatasuna" and "svoboda," the corresponding Basque and Czech words for "freedom." 

No longer do "you" say "tomato" and "I" say "tomahto." 

Instead, we both say "tomato." 

But what "you" hear is "askatasuna," and what "I" hear is "svoboda."

To "feel" your way more deeply into this linguistic and lexical dilemma consider the words "patriotism,""democracy,""oppression,""division,""liberty,""justice." 

Or consider whole passages like the following summary by Abraham Lincoln.


Image result for lincoln we will destroyed within

Honest Abe is not splitting hairs between "tomato" and "tomahto." 

But overshadowed by our babel-confusion, conservatives construe liberals as the source of destruction while liberals see that the opposite is true. 

We continue to use the same words but the perceived meaning of those words is as different as "night and day,""heaven-hell,""salvation-damnation,""good-evil,""God-Satan." (I am reminded of Chesterton's argument that "all wars are religious wars.")

From my "side" of the fence, it is evident that Trump is a deranged sociopath, consumed by narcissism and that his only interest -- sweet-talking rhetoric aside -- is ultimately co-terminous with his self-interest.

From the other side of the fence, these same characteristics are ascribed to Hillary.

But there remains a definable "hinge" by which we can define "un-hinged." 

We are starting to see this realization play out as Trump sides with Putin and Assange, impugns America's intelligence community, and starts formulating yet another "enemies list."

The hinge is this.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, half of America was effectively blinded by anger at Hillary Clinton, anger whose intensity was rooted in the ongoing en-chant-ment of The Noise Machine, conservatives' near-total disregard for facts, proportionality and deeply contextualized analysis as distinct from sound-bite misrepresentation.

Blinded by anger, American conservatives could not escape their obsessive focus on Hillary who, in their view -- and with no actionable evidence -- needed to be "locked up."

Now that Hillary-Benghazi-Emails-Private-Server have disappeared from the political scene -- and it is crucial to remember that conservatism's 25 year old obsession with the Clintons is no longer a cause célèbre, Trump supporters can no longer focus on "non-existent" Hillary --- The Evil One who drove them to distraction.

No longer distracted, American conservatives are starting to "see" Trump for the first time, and freed from their tunnel vision, they are beginning to realize that it was actually Trump who should have been targeted as a condemnable criminal... the Trump "University" scam-scandal being just one case in point.

Intel Chiefs Say Trump's Twitter Account Was Hacked By A Four-Year Old

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—An alarming report issued by heads of the U.S. intelligence agencies on Friday asserts that the Twitter account of President-elect Donald Trump was successfully hacked by a four-year-old child.
Profilers and cryptologists who studied Trump’s Twitter feed believe that the account was first hacked during the 2016 campaign, when the child was three.
“The hacker would often wake up in the middle of the night, in an addled and cranky state, and start tweeting,” an intelligence source said. “This disrupted sleep pattern is consistent with a suspect in the three-to-four-year-old age range.”
N.S.A. analysts who studied the vocabulary, syntax, and spelling of the tweets “determined beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are the work of a preschooler,” the source said.
While the intelligence agencies have yet to determine the identity of the hacker, the source stressed that a four-year-old capable of hacking the President-elect’s Twitter account poses “a serious national-security threat.”
“Based on these tweets, this particular four-year-old has a loose grasp on reality, lacks all impulse control, and is potentially very dangerous.”

"Where love rules, there is no will to power, 
and where power predominates, love is lacking
The one is the shadow of the other." 
Carl Jung

The Jung quote above is companion piece to the following observation by Pat Buchanan.

Republican presidential candidate, Pat Buchanan, the living American who has served longest as a White House senior staff adviser, observed: “The Republican philosophy might be summarized thus: To hell with principle; what matters is power, and that we have it, and that they do not.” 
“Where the Right Went Wrong" 
Donald Trump isolates himself by living in a state of denial on Russia
James Hohman, Washington Post

THE BIG IDEA: 
As the nation’s top spies brief Donald Trump today on how they concluded that Russia interfered in the election, the president-elect continues to isolate himself. From the truth. From intellectually-honest members of his own party on Capitol Hill. Even from the western alliance.
There are few indications that the meeting will prompt Trump to reverse himself after two months of steadfast denials in the face of mounting evidence.

TRUMP VS. REALITY:
If a married couple is fighting at home and they look outside and see that a guy in an ice cream truck is trying to abduct their child, they don’t keep arguing. There is nothing possibly important enough to keep arguing about when your child is in danger. Or at least there shouldn’t be.

The guy in the metaphorical ice cream truck is Vladimir Putin. The husband is a Republican, and the wife is a Democrat. The kids are the American people.
-- Trump has been trying to muddy the water, to make the hacking into a political story instead of treating it as a cyber-attack on the United States – despite a bipartisan consensus among serious and thoughtful people that this was the case.

Sources who have studied the intelligence say there is essentially incontrovertible evidence that Russia was behind the hacks, that they were authorized at the highest levels of the Kremlin and that the goal was to sow deep distrust while also undermining Hillary Clinton.
U.S. intelligence captured Russian officials’ communications celebrating Trump’s victory
-- American intelligence agencies even intercepted communications in the aftermath of the election in which Russian officials celebrated and congratulated themselves on the outcome, which they saw as a geopolitical win for Moscow. The Post’s Adam Entous and Greg Miller scooped last night: “The ebullient reaction among high-ranking Russian officials — including some who U.S. officials believe had knowledge of the country’s cyber campaign — contributed to the U.S. intelligence community’s assessment that Moscow’s efforts were aimed at least in part at helping Trump win the White House,” Adam and Greg report. “Other key pieces of information gathered by U.S. spy agencies include the identification of ‘actors’ involved in delivering stolen Democratic emails to the WikiLeaks website, and disparities in the levels of effort Russian intelligence entities devoted to penetrating and exploiting sensitive information stored on Democratic and Republican campaign networks.” This information appears in a classified document, which is over 50 pages, that was delivered to President Obama yesterday.

-- The president-elect, who has perhaps the most fragile ego of any man ever elected to the White House, sees anyone pointing out this truth as challenging his legitimacy, so he lashes out.
-- Paul Ryan yesterday drew a distinction that Trump seems incapable of making. "Russia clearly tried to meddle in our political system. No two ways about it," the Speaker told reporters. He then argued that the hacking did not change the outcome of the election. "He won the election fair and square," Ryan said.

Sen. Joe McCarthy's Lawyer Roy Cohn Taught Trump To Be A Cutthroat SOB

-- Trump, who takes everything personally, lives by a never-apologize, never-back-down creed that his mentor Roy Cohn, who spent the 1950s as Joe McCarthy’s chief counsel and hatchet man in the Senate, taught him during his formative years as an up-and-coming developer. This is why he refused to ever apologize for slurring John McCain, a Gold Star family, a former Miss Universe, a Mexican-American federal judge, a disabled reporter, etc., etc., etc. (If you missed them last year, it is worth reading deep dives on the Trump-Cohn relationship by The Postthe New York Times and Politico Magazine.)

-- Many rank-and-file Republican base voters, who view politics impressionistically, look for cues from leaders like Trump and his fellow populistssuch as Sean Hannitywho flew to London to interview Julian Assange earlier this week. These well-intentioned citizens are being misled and disserved by the people they depend on to stay informed.

Two smart takes on this—

From the right: Former George W. Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson calls it “the triumph of political tribalism over, well, every other principle or commitment.” Sarah Palin, for example, urged the United States to go after Assange “with the same urgency we pursue al-Qaeda.” Now, she pleads: “Julian, I apologize.” As Gerson puts it, “Let’s be clear about what this means. … The 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee is bowing and scraping to the man who materially aided the Taliban.”

From the left: “The cruelest, most condescending, and also devastatingly correct indictment of Trump’s supporters was uttered not by a member of the liberal media but by Trump himself, when he mentioned that he could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and not lose support,” writes New York Magazine’s Jonathan Chait.“Trump’s insinuation that his fans will ignore any evidence of his guilt, however plain, has been vindicated. Perhaps no episode has demonstrated the Fifth Avenue Principle more dramatically than the case of the Russian email hack.”
Senate hearing exposes differences between Trump and intelligence officials
TRUMP VS. THE SPOOKS:
-- Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr., testifying yesterday before the Senate Armed Services Committee, said U.S. spy agencies “stand actually more resolutely” than ever behind their conclusions. Alluding to Trump’s tweets, he said: “There is an important distinction here between healthy skepticism, which policymakers, to include policymaker number one, should always have for intelligence, but I think there is a difference between skepticism and disparagement.”

“Whatever crack, fissure, they could find in our tapestry . . . they would exploit it,” Clapper added, specifically referring to the proliferation of “fake news.”
James Woolsey quits Trump's transition team
-- Meanwhile, former CIA director R. James Woolsey Jr., a veteran of four presidential administrations, resigned yesterday from Trump’s transition team because of growing tensions over the president-elect’s vision for intelligence agencies. “People close to Woolsey said that he had been excluded in recent weeks from discussions on intelligence matters with Trump and retired Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn,” Philip Rucker reports. “They said Woolsey had grown increasingly uncomfortable lending his name and credibility to the transition team without being consulted. Woolsey was taken aback by this week’s reports that Trump is considering revamping the country’s intelligence framework…”
Graham: 'It is time ... to throw rocks' at Russia
TRUMP VS. THE SENATE GOP HAWKS:

-- Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina senator, made a straight-to-camera appeal during yesterday’s Armed Services hearing: “Mr. President-elect, when you listen to these people, you can be skeptical, but understand they’re the best among us and they’re trying to protect us!”

Graham, whose personal cell phone number Trump once gave out to the crowd during a campaign rally, then criticized the Obama administration for not doing more than imposing sanctions and expelling 35 Russians from the country. “What Obama did was throw a pebble,” he said. “I’m ready to throw a rock.”

-- John McCain added: “Every American should be alarmed by Russia’s attacks on our nation. There is no national security interest more vital to the United States of America than the ability to hold free and fair elections without foreign interference. That’s why Congress must set partisanship aside, follow the facts and work together to devise comprehensive solutions to deter, defend against and, when necessary, respond to foreign cyberattacks.”

-- To be sure, many Senate Republicans are too afraid to say publicly what they believe privately. Fearful of drawing Trump’s ire, they either carry his water or stay quiet. At the Armed Services hearing, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) said: “Mark my word, if the roles were reversed, there would be howls from the Republican side of the aisle.” McCain responded sarcastically, “Thank you for that nonpartisan comment.” (Sean Sullivan explores this dynamic.)

TRUMP VS. THE WESTERN ALLIANCE:

The Post this morning has three important columns about the far-reaching global ramifications of Trump's defiance and obstinacy.

-- Anne Applebaum calls this “an existential moment for all of Europe’s leaders, most of whom are only just beginning to grapple with the fact that Russia wants to destroy the Euro-American alliance.” Contrasting a quote from Harry Truman to the incoming president’s own public statements, Anne writes: “In the past few weeks, some of America’s oldest and closest allies in Europe have begun to fear that Trump’s White House may not just neglect them, which has happened often enough in the past, but will actually seek to undermine them and their institutions. The link between Trump, his senior counselor and chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon and Breitbart News, the website Bannon was running until he went to work for Trump, is what worries them most. Flush from its success in the United States, Breitbart now seeks to monetize anti-immigration and racist sentiment in Europe, too, promoting it, selling it and using it to elect populist politicians who are just as skeptical of NATO as Trump, and who will do their best to destroy the European Union as well.” Because no one knows who will have the president’s ear, Angela Merkel has already started “preparing for the worst.”

-- Trump’s approach to the hacking story in recent months has been worryingly similar to Russia’s own propaganda. “This sort of information fog is precisely what Moscow seeks to spawn in its own propaganda campaigns,” David Ignatius observes. “The Russian goal is ‘to corrode democratic norms and institutions by discrediting the electoral process and to tarnish the reputations of democratic governments in order to establish a kind of moral equivalence between Russia and the West,’ Thorsten Benner and Mirko Hohmann wrote last month in Foreign Affairs. Anyone who thinks that the Russian hacking charges are simply an attempt to belittle or discredit Trump should study Russia’s current covert-action campaign in Europe. Benner and Hohmann quote Bruno Kahl, the chief of Germany’s intelligence service, who told a newspaper there that ‘cyberattacks are taking place that have no purpose other than to elicit uncertainty.’ The head of French information security similarly warned last month that Western countries face ‘the development of a digital threat for political ends and for destabilization.’”

-- Fareed Zakaria looks at how Moscow’s strategy has evolved since the Arab Spring: “The Soviet Union developed and practiced a strategy of ‘disinformation’ throughout the Cold War, complete with fake news and the penetration of Western political parties and media organizations. But the revival of this approach and the aggressive and sophisticated manner in which it is now being used in a social media landscape mark a new and dangerous trend in geopolitics. This is the political backdrop behind the technical evidence that Russia interfered in November’s election. It needs to be moved out of a partisan framework and viewed in a much broader context. Since the end of the Cold War, no major country has challenged the emerging international system. 
But now, a great-power strategy, designed to work insidiously, could well succeed in sowing doubt, division, discord — and ultimately destruction — within the West.
