President tweeting memes as economy collapses

"Mr. President! The Japanese have bombed Pearl Harbor!"

"Leave me alone in here, I'm drawing mean cartoons about Wendell Wilkie."

In moments of crisis like this, it's as if the US has no president at all. From Trumpocracy, p. 26:

Trump cannot understand any problem as a problem in itself. He cannot care about any external thing. All he sees and cares about is himself - and the avoidance of blame for the havoc he causes.

To truly make sense of 911, you need to see historical pattern and realize the same forces are behind numerous attacks.

With that in mind, Let's look at these historical false flags attacks:

Lavon Affair (1954)

JFK (1963)

USS Liberty (1967)

RFK (1968)

911 attack (2001)

You can add WW1 & WW2 to list of International Zionist attacks. Zionist subversion which brought US into the war. See [Benjamin Freeman's] 1961 speech. And the Bolshevik Revolution -- over 60 million dead Russians. And **The bombing of the King David Hotel**. and on.. and on...

Let's begin:

1. Lavon Affair (1954):

Israeli attempted FF upon Americans, British, & French civilian targets in Egypt. They planned to blame attacks on the M Brotherhood in the hopes that it would give Great Britain the excuse to stop their planned withdraw from the Suez Canal.

Atomic War Crimes
By Joseph Bishop

The further one seriously studies history, and particularly the World War Two period, the more striking is the disconnect between what is popularly believed and what actually happened. Perhaps the reading public continues to shrink, not only in the United States but around the

world, while information and opinion are generally retrieved from television and popular films, this in spite of the serious scholarship going on these areas and the many excellent published works in this field. What cutting-edge research demonstrates is often completely at odds

1. During World War II, the US and Japan waged an extended battle for control of the Solomon Islands, including the island of Guadalcanal, in the South Pacific. I visited there over Memorial Day weekend, and have put together my own photos and historical pics to tell that story.

2. The story begins in the immediate aftermath of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. With the US battleship fleet crippled, Japanese forces rapidly advanced south to capture the Philippines, Malaya, and the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia), driving towards Australia.

3. In May 1942, a Japanese invasion force moved in to capture Port Moresby in New Guinea by sea. The US Navy threw two aircraft carriers (the Lexington and Yorktown) into the Coral Sea to stop them.
