Can you believe the U.S. Congress? Democrats and Republicans are publicly working together, in locked-step, to eavesdrop upon, leak about, and usurp the office of the President of the United States. Congress is showing it’s true color, war-profit-green, via the illegal unilateral sanctions on placed Russia, Iran and North Korea.

Unpacking the dubious reasons for the sanctions we find that Russia is accused of interfering in our elections, destabilizing the Ukraine and annexing the Crimea. The Russia hacking tale was blown out of the water by forensic evidence which indicates that it was indeed a leak, the person who leaked the information was located in the eastern time zone of he U.S., had physical access to DNC servers, and used a external storage device to download the emails. Seymour Hersh, a respected journalist relying on his trusted FBI resource and documents, stated Seth Rich was the source of the DNC email leaks. Another justification used for sanctioning Russia is based on the accusations that Russia is destabilizing the Ukraine and stole the Crimea. Another Red Herring. Truth is, the Assistant Secretary of State at the time Victoria Nuland, help destabilize the Ukraine by spending 5 Billion U.S. Tax Dollars supporting activities to overthrow the elected President of the Ukraine. Is this another reason why we can’t afford single payer healthcare? A stolen Crimea? The citizens of Crimea voted overwhelmingly to join the Russia Federation during a referendum held on March 16, 2015.

Iran is getting triangulated because they tested a ballistic missile in their own backyard, an action that does not violate The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) agreement. It is their right. Did America forget our CIA overthrew Iran’s democratically elected prime minister Mohammad Mosaddeq in 1953? We know Iran is has not been an aggressive nation. However, they are standing in the way of Israeli Hegemony in the region. Can you imagine the Congressional furor if Iran threatened to sanction the U.S. for selling weapons to the despots in Saudi Arabia who in turn have used them to kill over 11,000 Yemeni people. President Trump line-danced with the Saudi King, ignoring the illegal Saudi war on the poorest nation in the middle east. a war that set the conditions for a Cholera outbreak that began in April this year, and so far has killed 1900 people. In addition to the needless deaths, 425,000 suspected cases have been reported. MSM will not touch this story.

North Korea choosing to be provocative, has good reasons to showcase their ballistic abilities in the face of ongoing U.S. provocations and threats of military action. War. We have got to remember that the U.S.supported South Korean dictator Syngman Rhee who was responsible for thousands of deaths in 1950 and was planning to attack North Korea when the North decided to launch a preemptive strike against his forces. Korean War II? Ironically, such an action would certainly lead to the destruction of America’s Ally; South Korea. Not a problem for this Congress right? It’s not massive American death on American soil. Congress is not fearful of starting WW3, understanding no nation on earth will be left unaffected.

Instead of focusing on dire internal problems, Congress has opted to advocate for more international destabilization — preventing Trump from working with Russia by creating provisions in the newly signed sanctions bill that preclude him from removing the sanctions and making peace. This is a foreign relations nightmare and an internal American soft coup. Congress and the media have set in place a dangerous precedence and strategy for attacking future Presidents, usurping democracy and ignoring the will of the American Public.

With these new sanctions congress is initiating a trade war that could in the end tank our economy. Congress is gambling U.S. and EU security as Russia, Iran, and China could easily cripple the American economy by simply dumping the U.S. Dollar, conducting trade using their currencies. Russia can even prevent NASA from going into space by withholding their rockets. EU nations can place sanctions on the U.S. that would hurt American business. The sanctions gun has been drawn, fired, and the bullet is ricocheting and Lady Liberty has been shot in the Foot. In the end we see that their is no right or left wing on our American Eagle, just a congressional body; a happy corrupt family with a media network that keeps Americans in the dark. Divided. Ignorant of world affairs. Congress and the President are ignoring the clear signals of revolution in the Nation, a looming danger related to their inaction on domestic issues. We are heading toward an American Spring.
