To the political establishment, both to the Left and to the Right, it's a mystery what moves President Trump. Cashing in on leverage is seen as flip-flopping; to those who fail to connect the dots, Trumpism is tantamount to random chaos. Who looks at the President through the traditional conceptual frame works, will never fully grasp the Trump principles (yes, they do exist!).

President Trump has vowed to destroy ISIS. The coalition offensive to retake Mosul and Raqqa is on the way. But removing the Sunni vanguard creates a power vacuum that will give the Iranian opponents free reign for more terror. With President Trump, the reinvigorated coalition is tasked with shaping a new paradigm for peace in the larger Middle East.

UPDATE: A few random observations. It is unclear who used the chemical weapons, but this much is certain: the Assad forces bombed the hospital where the victims were being treated, probably in an effort to cover up the attack. While the West likes to believe the war in Syria is about democracy versus tyranny (which it is not!), the larger conflict is about Shia versus Sunni Islam, or on the level of states, between Iran and the Sunni Arabs. Morality is not going to help us make sense of this conflict. It is also true that in foreign policy, states do not have friends. They have interests and allies. Aside from the morality concerning the use of chemical weapons, there is still the issue of the violation of (internal) agreements and treaties. While it is debatable if there is such a thing as international law, contracts are still legally binding documents. Russia and Syria are signatories to the Geneva convention. Russia is in serial violation of weapon treaties. This is not happening in a vacuum. There is a context.
Final debate between PM Mark Rutte and Geert Wilders at Erasmus University Rotterdam. Amidst the diplomatic spat with the Turks (more) the parties in the Dutch election are battling it out in the last day before the elections. Yesterday the news broke that a year ago, as part of the EU deal with Turkey, the Dutch PM Rutte as chairman of the European Council, the German chancellor Merkel and then Turkish PM Davutoglu made a secret arrangement: Germany and the Netherlands would take 150-250,000 refugees off Turkey's hands. The idea was that Merkel and Rutte would persuade other member states to accept 'their fair share' of this contingent of refugees. For good reasons, this never happened. The Germans and the Dutch are still on the books to absorb these 150-250,000 migrants...a year! The Turks are so angry, they are now threatening to blow up the entire deal. Moreover, the Turks say the EU never forked over the 6 billion euros it would pay for the upkeep of refugees in Turkey. An unconfirmed revelation today confirms the entire diplomatic spat was an election trick pulled by Rutte so he could present himself as a 'strong man'. German newspaper Bild broke the news last night that Rutte told the Turkish authorities they would be welcome to campaign for their referendum after the Dutch elections; Rutte feared correctly that the sight of a host of Turkish flags would contribute to a Wilders victory.

WILDERS SUSPENDS CAMPAIGN AS SECURITY DETAIL IS ARRESTED
Geert Wilders (Dutch Freedom Party), Marine le Pen (French Front National), Frauke Petry (German Alternative für Deutschland), Matteo Salvini (Italy’s Northern League) and Harald Vilimsky (Austria’s Freedom Party) gathered on January 21 at a convention in Koblenz, Germany. They called on European voters to participate in a patriotic spring to topple the European Union, reassert national sovereignty and secure national borders.

UPDATE: The leader of the poll-topping Dutch Freedom Party (PVV), Geert Wilders, has announced the suspension of his campaign with less than three weeks to go before his nation’s general election after the discovery of a possible mole in his security detail. A Moroccan-origin Dutch police officer working on Mr Wilder’s security detail was arrested Monday and subsequently released on bail for allegedly leaking police information about his assignment. Claims in the Dutch media stated the officer had passed information to a Dutch-Moroccan criminal organisation. Subsequent revelations reported by Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad allege arrested officer Faris K. had been under suspicion in the past for security violations and that his brother Mohammed K. had been fired from Dutch police in 2007 for leaking police information, and had also been investigated for rape.

(VIDEO) PATRIOT PARTIES FOR DEMOCRATIC SPRING
Jan 21, 2017 RT - Leaders of several European nationalist parties gathered for the ‘Freedom for Europe’ congress in Koblenz. English voice over translation.
French presidential hopeful Marine Le Pen declared Saturday that 2017 will be the “year of the awakening of the people of continental Europe” as she joined fellow nationalist leaders in Germany at the beginning of a year of high-stakes national elections. The mood was celebratory a day after Donald Trump was sworn in as U.S. president, following a campaign buoyed by anti-establishment and protectionist themes. “Yesterday, a new America. Today, hello Koblenz, a new Europe!” Dutch anti-Islam leader Geert Wilders said as he opened his speech at a congress center on the banks of the Rhine river, under heavy security. “The people of the west are awakening. They are throwing off the yoke of political correctness,” he said. “This year will be the year of the people … the year of liberation, the year of the patriotic spring.” (More)
On the 15th anniversary of 9/11 it is perhaps fitting to revisit Geert Wilders' film document made in 2008, Fitna. In the tweet above a new release by the Christian Action Network. It shows that nothing has changed over the years. Geert Wilders was acquitted in the trial mentioned, but is currently facing new charges. The EU's open borders ideology, exacerbated by Merkel's asinine asylum policies have made matters infinitely worse.

UN HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSIONER ATTACKS TRUMP, WILDERS
The vile UN Human Rights Commission headed by the Jordanian chief, Zeid Sa'ad Al Hussein is not hesitating to meddle in national affairs and elections by ripping into politicians like Trump and Wilders for defending their nations against Islam. The UN Chief hails from one of the vilest police states in the Middle East. Islam is the opposite, the contrary and entirely incompatible with Western Enlightenment values. Wilders calls the critique emanating from the globalist headquarters in New York "grotesque".
The United Nations human rights chief on Monday accused U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump of spreading "humiliating racial and religious prejudice" and warned of a rise of populist politics that could turn violent. In comments (source) at a security and justice conference, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein said he was addressing Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders and other "populists, demagogues and political fantasists." Naming Trump, Nigel Farage in Britain and Marine Le Pen in France, among others, he accused them of using "fear" tactics similar to those of Islamic State, also known as Daesh. "Make no mistake, I certainly do not equate the actions of nationalist demagogues with those of Daesh," he said. "But in its mode of communication, its use of half-truths and oversimplification, the propaganda of Daesh uses tactics similar to those of the populists." In a tweet, Wilders called Zeid "an idiot." Zeid labelled Wilders' March 2017 election platform, which calls for no Muslim immigrants, the closing of mosques and the banning of the Koran, as "grotesque." "The UN is grotesque," Wilders responded. "Let's get rid of these bureaucrats." (More)
The document, published ahead of a general election in March, calls for the closure of all mosques and Islamic schools, a ban on the Koran, and “no more immigrants from Islamic countries.” A ban on “Islamic headscarves” in public is also proposed, as well as the prohibition of all “Islamic expressions which violate public order.” All these measures will, Wilders argues, save the country €7.2 bn (US$8bn). “Enough of the mass immigration, asylum, terror, violence and lack of safety. Here is our plan: instead of financing the entire world and the people we do not want here, we give our money back to the citizens.
Zero Hedge ripped a translation from a site hat evidently hates Wilders. It is reading in part as follows:
1) De-Islamization
- Zero asylum seekers and no more immigrants from Muslim countries: we are closing our borders.
- Withdrawal of all residence permits already granted to asylum seekers; asylum seeker centers closed down.
- No more Muslim veils in public functions
- Ban of overall Muslim expressions that are against the public order
- Preventive incarceration of radical Muslims
- Criminals with double nationality stripped of their Dutch citizenship and deported
- Syrian fighters not allowed back in The Netherlands
- All Mosques and Muslim schools are to be closed and the Koran banned.
2) The Netherlands will reclaim its independence. Therefore, we leave the EU.
3) Direct democracy: binding referendums, citizens have the power.
4) Deductible/excess in healthcare insurance is eliminated
5) (House)Rents to be lowered
6) Age of retirement back to 65 years old. Pensions for everyone.
7) No more money for foreign aid, windmills, art, innovation, public broadcasters, etc.
8) Past budget cuts involving care will be reversed.
9) Plenty extra funds for defense and police
10) Lower income taxes
11) 50% reduction for vehicle ownership taxes

Newsweek: The Psychology Behind Geert Wilders
An article in Newsweek thanks Geert Wilders popularity to the Paris massacre of at Charlie Hebdo. It's open season on the charismatic Dutch anti Islam politician, so an psychologist has worked out an old family history is at the root of his anti Islam stance.
Cheap indeed. Who needs old colonial history when thousands of innocent human beings are being killed because of the Islamic concepts of Sharia and Jihad?
(...) Dutch anthropologist Lizzy van Leeuwen has been researching the origins of Wilders’s political philosophy since 2009, while working on a book about the colonial history of Holland. She discovered some material in the national archives and published an article later that year that revealed a secret Wilders had long kept hidden from the public eye: his Indonesian roots. Van Leeuwen is of similarly mixed blood, she said, and she was always bewildered at her mother’s support of Wilders and his anti-Islam positions.
At the close of the colonial era, Dutchmen were driven from the Indies by Muslims, many of them settling in places like the Netherlands, so when van Leeuwen discovered Wilders’ Indonesian heritage, she grew curious. “There’s lots of bitterness among these old generations of colonial migrants,” she says. “That’s why Geert Wilders is a hero to them. He knows why people don’t feel comfortable in this society of migrant groups.”
Van Leeuwen’s mother hides Wilders’s books when her daughter comes now, but she is among many with an Indonesian background who admiringly call Wilders a “Branie,” an Indonesian term for a man with chutzpah, with the balls to say what he thinks. “They were chased from their beautiful paradise in the sun,” the researcher told me. “Now here’s this guy saying it too, after everyone has been silent for 50 years, and he’s their hero.”
Van Leeuwen discovered that Wilders’s grandfather was a high-ranking bureaucrat in the Dutch colony of Indonesia. Johan Ording, she says, went bankrupt several times in the Indies. He was fired while on holiday in Holland in 1934, warned not to return to the colony and later denied a pension. Mired in poverty, he and his family were forced back to the Netherlands in the middle of a harsh Dutch winter. “You can call it cheap psychology to link these things, but I think this has meaning for somebody like Geert Wilders,” Van Leeuwen says. “He is lost.”
On some level, Van Leeuwen says, whether Wilders believes it or not, he’s blaming Muslims for what happened to his family and seeking retribution. “He wants to go back to the way the borders were drawn before the war. Before decolonization,” she says, referring to the period before Indonesia claimed its independence and was still a Dutch colony, called the Netherlands-Indies. “He once had serious plans to return parts of Belgium to ‘Greater’ Holland.” He dyes his hair, she thinks, to disguise his Indonesian roots.
Wilders has responded to van Leeuwen’s findings only once, in a television interview, saying her thoughts about him were “twisted,” and he insists to me that he’s not seeking revenge against anyone. But as he gestures emphatically from the safety of this fortified office a day after the tragic massacre in Paris, it’s clear Wilders isn’t the least bit mournful. He’s fired up.
It may be a coincidence to Ms Van Leeuwen, but Wilders is equally popular among the Hindus originating from another former Dutch colony on the other side of the world, Suriname (Dutch Guyana). What unites both minorities? Centuries of experience with Islam.

Geert Wilders' Plan to Save the West
By Diana West
I was near Washington, D.C. interviewing the visiting Geert Wilders, leader of the Netherlands' Party for Freedom, when the news flashed that Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, the Canadian convert to Islam who terrorized Ottawa on Wednesday, had previously had his passport lifted by the Canadian government as an officially designated "high-risk traveler." (Source)
That means that before Zehaf-Bibeau put a bullet through the chest of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, a young reservist standing guard with an unloaded rifle at the Canadian National War Memorial, and before Zehaf-Bibeau rushed into the nation's Parliament building, where, thankfully, he was gunned down by security before he could murder again, Canadian authorities had already identified him as someone likely to join the jihad abroad. In fact, so likely was Zehaf-Bibeau to join a group such as ISIS, Canadian authorities did what many Western governments are doing in the name of counter-terrorism: They took Zehaf-Bideau's passport away.
"That's the same as the other one!" Wilders notes energetically, referring to Martin Couture-Rouleau, also an Islamic convert and "high-risk traveler," who drove his car into two Canadian soldiers in Quebec earlier in the week, killing Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent. Couture-Rouleau, who was shot dead at the scene of his crime, had had his passport taken from him in July when he was arrested at the airport before he could travel to Turkey. In other words, but for good Canadian police work, it looks as if both of these murderers would have left Canada and disappeared into the bloody maw of the Islamic State.
Phew -- that was close? No, that was insane. Such a policy, which the Dutch government also follows, frustrates Wilders to no end. "Let them leave," says Wilders. "Let them leave, or detain them. I find it incomprehensible that Western governments stop people who want to leave to fight for jihad in Syria or Iraq." Let them go and never let them return, he says, or with sufficient evidence, detain them. While the West combats the Islamic State, he points out, "nothing is being done to make our own countries safe."
Wilders supports the U.S.-led bombing campaign against the Islamic State, and is proud that Dutch F-16s are flying combat missions. He points out, however, that military action in the Middle East is "not an excuse not to do anything domestically." But not doing anything domestically -- anything, that is, that protects our liberties at home from the encroachments of Islam and its body of repressive, discriminatory and misogynistic laws known as sharia -- perfectly describes the Western response in the post-9/11 era.
It is such policies of appeasement that Wilders has been combating for more than a decade as a member of the Dutch Parliament and also leader of the Party for Freedom. Wilders is subject to continuing Islamic death threats, requiring him to live in a 24/7 security bubble. It is these same policies of appeasement that have made the Netherlands and other European nations havens for supporters of even the most bloodthirsty factions in Islam, including the Islamic State, whose supporters now boldly wave their black flags of jihad in the middle of Amsterdam, menacing Jews and Christians alike.
In a recent speech to parliament, Wilders cited a study showing that nearly three-quarters of ethnic Turks and Moroccans in the Netherlands consider that those who leave to fight in Syria are "heroes." This isn't much different from 13 years ago, when, Wilders pointed out, roughly the same percentage of Dutch Muslims condoned the 9/11 attacks.
These are shocking figures. They provide more evidence of the failure of Muslim immigrants to assimilate into Dutch culture -- a failure repeated throughout Europe, where de facto Islamic sharia colonies have obliterated indigenous cultures. Little wonder a large percentage of Dutch -- two-thirds, according to a June poll Wilders cites -- now believe Islamic culture does not belong in the Netherlands.
What to do? Wilders offers a basic program to begin reversing the Islamization of the Netherlands and the wider West:
Halt immigration from Islamic countries;
Close every Salafist mosque receiving money from Gulf countries;
Stimulate voluntary re-emigration;
Expel criminals with dual nationality to the country of their other nationality;
Demand that resident passport-holders from Islamic countries renounce sharia law and the violent commands of the Koran;
Bar those returning from jihad from re-entry.
They can take up residence in the Islamic State, Wilders says. Later, I watched Wilders on television with Sun TV's Michael Coren, who asked him how to manage the Islamic threat within Western societies without also impinging on civil liberties. "Listen, war has been declared on us," Wilders replied, "on Canada, by the Islamic state, by Muslim fundamentalists, (on) Europe, on the United States, on us, so we have to fight them as if it was a war. It is a war.
I am very much in favor of civil liberties, but I believe that in a time of war, we should have one, first priority -- and that is to protect our people -- the Canadian people, the Dutch people, the American people." He mentioned the ISIS flags that now come out on the streets in the Netherlands -- a ticket out of the country, in his view -- and concluded: "If you have the intention to rob our society of our rule of law, them you don't deserve the rights that come with that rule of law."
Four days prior to the Dutch general elections a serious diplomatic spat has broken out between the Netherlands and Turkey over the demand by Turkey to campaign in the Netherlands for yet another Erdogan power grab. After the Governments were unable to negotiate terms and Erdogan called the Dutch Government 'Nazi remnants' the Dutch liberal PM decided to take a stand.
The Dutch government on Saturday withdrew landing permission for the Turkish foreign minister's aircraft (...) Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan promised retaliation against Dutch diplomatic flights.
"You can stop our foreign minister's plane all you want, let's see how your planes will come to Turkey from now on," Erdogan said at a rally in Istanbul.
"They do not know politics or international diplomacy," said Erdogan and added, "these Nazi remnants, they are fascists" with the crowds booing.
Postmodern liberalism champions identity politics rather than individualism. Instead of the freedom of speech, it demands an authoritarian form of speech control called political correctness. Shelby Steele has a very interesting psychological analysis and claims that liberalism has become an identity that inoculates the bearer against the sins of the past. In the era of Trump people have become immune to the fake virus of 'white' original sin.

Comedian Dave Rubin joins Alex Jones to break down what has driven him away from the cult of the Left.
The Exhaustion of American Liberalism
White guilt gave us a mock politics based on the pretense of moral authority.
By Shelby Steele
The recent flurry of marches, demonstrations and even riots, along with the Democratic Party’s spiteful reaction to the Trump presidency, exposes what modern liberalism has become: a politics shrouded in pathos. Unlike the civil-rights movement of the 1950s and ’60s, when protesters wore their Sunday best and carried themselves with heroic dignity, today’s liberal marches are marked by incoherence and downright lunacy—hats designed to evoke sexual organs, poems that scream in anger yet have no point to make, and an hysterical anti-Americanism.
All this suggests lostness, the end of something rather than the beginning. What is ending?
