The Ukraine Scandal.




One U.S. Navy secretary was fired, because Trump pardoned a SEAL convicted war criminals. U.S. Navy Secretary Richard Spencer refused to violate his conscience. The court martialed Navy Seal Edward Gallagher has been pardoned from Trump. Gallagher was placed in the San Diego Navy brig before his court martial after he threatened to murder fellow SEALs who reported his crimes. Gallagher was convicted of posing with a corpse after a key witness changed his testimony. Spencer said that Trump wanted to block the trident review board for Gallagher and that Trump wanted to get away with things. For the past 18 years alone, we know of the war crimes done by Western imperialism. Trump has said on tape that he believes in water boarding, things worst than that, and he endorses the killing of the families of terrorists. All of these things are illegal completely.

Abu Ghraib was a place where the torturing of people existed. This place harbored  war crimes. Some of the acts in Fallujah were war crimes. ISIS' acts in Iraq and Syria were war crimes. Trump is using Gallagher as a means for him to prop up his far right base. Trump trying to politicize military justice issues and discipline in their ranks is disgraceful. He is the worst President of the 21st century and is one of the most terrible Presidents in American history. For 18 years in this war on terror., Western imperialism has been complicit in the deaths of many civilians just like Al-Qaeda, ISIS, etc. are complicit in the deaths of many civilians too. It is bigger than Trump, who is an anti-democratic person. It is about our right to fight for social justice.

The billionaire Michael Bloomberg (who is the former mayor of New York City) is officially running for President in the 2020 Democratic primary. He brought $37 million worth of TV time for a 2 week advertising campaign to start on Monday. He was a three term elected Republican mayor of NYC before he switched parties to become a Democrat. It is not a secret on why he is running for President. The oligarchs and many billionaires are afraid that Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren might win the Democratic nomination. They fear that another moderate like Biden, Buttegieg, or Klobuchar can't beat Trump. Therefore, Bloomberg is in the race in order to promote the neoliberal consensus. Neoliberalism is about moderation, centrism, and the status quo. Neoliberals dominate the corporate media for real not the far left. Bloomberg compared teacher unions to the NRA.

Neoliberalism believes in the lie that deregulation, tax cuts massively, and imperialism can solve world problems. No one is vilifying wealth as these moderates incorrectly claim. People are vilifying oligarchy, massive economic inequality, and the many of the super rich refusing to pay their fair share of taxation. The country right now is definitely is experiencing an ideological battle between moderates and progressives. Michael Bloomberg had no choice but to apologize for his support for the anti-liberty stop and frisk policy, because that policy unjustly harmed the human rights of black and brown residents of NYC (as these frisk violate probable cause) including other people nationwide. Also, black Americans are the most strongest supporters of the Democratic party for decades. Bloomberg is counting on Super Tuesday primary in March of 2020, because he knows that he won't win earlier primaries. He has the right to run, and people have the right to support or not support him.

There are new information about the Ukraine scandal. First, Trump knew about the whistleblower when he released aid. Trump released military aid to Ukraine in September of 2019. Trump wanted Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. Before that time, Trump withheld the $250 million in the Pentagon aid to Ukraine on the day of July 25 phone call to Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky. Trump said that he didn't direct Giuliani to go to Ukraine when that contradicts witness testimony about people saying that Trump directed Giuliani going into Ukraine to try to find dirt on the Bidens. Trump said these words to the disgraced commentator Bill O'Reilly (who has said racist remarks for years from his hubcap comment about black children to other things). Also, O'Reilly assaulted his ex-wife according to his daughter, and he has been accused of sexual harassment multiple times. The Secretary of State Pompeo is entertaining the idea that Ukraine hacked the DNC in 2016. This is false, since Russian intelligence is responsible for it. Russia like America has far right hate groups. Russia also has violations to democratic freedoms just like in America. Russia is not a Communist nation. It's a capitalist nation dominated by rich oligarchs. Therefore, to be woke is to condemn evils in America and Russia. Trump is known to be a habitual liar. Therefore, we know the truth. We know what happened here.
