NEXTRUSH UNPLUGGED:  SATURDAY NIGHT VERSION TRUMP SAYS "GET UNDER THE BUS NIGEL", AFGHANISTAN, THE GREAT CHEMICAL ATTACK HOAX IN SYRIA, NEW GERMAN POLITICAL LEADERS AND MORE......





Music Links:
















And a classic I remember from my country music days of the 1970's and the song playing in Walmart on Thanksgiving one hour before the "Black Friday" shopping started in my part of the world.


"If We Make It Through December" and in December (December 12th) we will see an election in the UK and going into it Donald Trump spoke with Nigel Farage and the conversation heaping praise on Nigel and Boris Johnson and expressing fear of Jeremy Corbyn.......



DONALD TRUMP WITH NIGEL FARAGE OCTOBER 31, 2019




"I'd like to see you and Boris get together cause you would really have some numbers.....He respects you a lot, I can tell you that.    He respects you a lot.   I don't know if you know that or not....."




is what President Trump said in that conversation among other things.   My greatest concern for Nigel Farage is that Trump would throw him under the bus but I guess it doesn't happen that way when Donald J. Trump is massaging and dealing and hustling things.     To translate the real message of what was being said in that October 31st radio interview:



"Nigel would you please get under the bus and let Boris Johnson win the election"



And Nigel has obliged pulling his Brexit Party candidates out of Conservative Party seats that the Tories won in the last election.     Only 275 of the 650 seats in the House of Commons being contested by the Brexit Party.


And the polling back on October 31st for the Brexit Party varied from 9 to 12 percent.


Now Nigel Farage and his Brexit Party out in the wilderness showing at 3 or 4 percent in the polls.


An act of political suicide and falling on his sword to allow Boris to win and bring in a Brexit deal that Farage has said is:



"not Brexit"



Its truly a rigged system of politics out there as Donald Trump liked to remind us in 2016 and he's helping to do just that in the UK General Election of December 12, 2019.


Did "they" promise Nigel anything in return for this?      I actually don't believe so but we shall see....

What is the story regarding Afghanistan?



On September 7th of this year the tweet from President Trump was:



"Unbeknownst to everyone, the major Taliban leaders, and separately the President of Afghanistan, were going to secretly meet with me at Camp David on Sunday.....Unfortunately, in order to build false leverage, they admitted to an attack in Kabul that killed one of our great soldiers and 11 other people.   I immediately cancelled the meeting and called off peace negotiations"



And then Thanksgiving Day the President in Afghanistan visiting US troops and saying this:



"The Taliban wants to make a deal.  We'll see if they want to make a deal, its got to be a real deal but we'll see if they want to make a deal and they only want to make a deal because you're doing a great job"






TRUMP SPEAKS TO TROOPS 11/28/2019




 The reporting on this Friday in the "News Summary" went like this:



"A spokesman for the Taliban in Afghanistan told AFP news agency of France that:



'It is way too early to talk about the resumption of talks for now'



That's the Taliban reaction to President Trump's visit to Afghanistan Thursday where he spoke of the Taliban wanting to make a deal and saying that talk are again resuming with them.


But Reuters also reports that the Taliban are talking informally with the US and say talks can resume where they broke off.


And finally the report of Russia's news agency Tass with a Taliban spokesman saying a deal has been finalized but the US chose to break off the talks......


The report from Tass takes note of the fact that President Trump opted to break off the talks with the Taliban in September after a draft peace agreement had been reached.


The President then responding to a Taliban terrorist attack that killed an American soldier."



And so there you have just like the Vince McMahon wrestling shows we watched over the decades an emotional back and forth on talks with the Taliban and you the audience caught in the emotional swirl of it all.

Well the Washington drama continues as the House Democrats keep up the "impeachment inquiry"


The harsh reality of politics in those 38 payments to the son of Joe Biden by the Ukrainian energy company of 83-thousand dollars each month totaling more than three million dollars.


Politics as usual and Trump demonized for pushing an investigation of such stuff.


The Democrats have trouble and the money is flowing from Michael Bloomberg with his ads everywhere as he tries to get the Democrats to get back to business as usual politics and not make any 'left turns'.    Tens of millions of dollars some 150 million dollars in the pipeline to keep Democrats on the straight and narrow of supporting the business and banking elite choice for President instead of any "unapproved" candidates.



Big Business and Big Government are linked while we all shout at each other in this echo chamber of "Left" versus "Right" in the official media channels ranging from Fox to MSNBC to talk radio etc. etc.


Michelle Malkin driving it home as she discusses the shutdown of the First Amendment for those who oppose government mandated vaccination backed by big money from the business giants that make the vaccines.




MICHELLE MALKIN-FIGHT FOR THE FREEDOM TO QUESTION VACCINES



To the music and a song that hearkens back to the days of the civil rights protests of the 1960's but of course when its all said and done Dr. Martin Luther King fought against the Moderate Political Establishment of Mitch McConnell's and Michael Bloomberg's back then.


The "mainstream" leaders who wanted a "centrist" policy that didn't rock the boat of big business and banking interests.

FACEBOOK CAVES IN TO 'FAKE NEWS' LAW IN SINGAPORE




I sort of admire Singapore for its honesty in politics.    Here we have the pretend of two different political parties when there's really only one.

In Singapore there is only one party and the party line is enforced with government control of media but of course that pesky internet has come along and what is called "fake news" by the forces that want to control speech online bothers them.

Singapore passed a "fake news" law to mandate "correction" messages online when the government makes a determination of "fake news".

Facebook bowing to that law in the last 24 hours in the "Newsdump window" and the BBC reports.....

Two of Germany's major political parties elected new leaders today who appear to want to move their parties in new directions.


First, the SPD (Social Democrats) who are junior partners in the government led by Chancellor Angela Merkel electing new leaders said to be further to the "Left".


Norbert Walter-Borjans and Saskia Eskenn are the new co-leaders of the SPD.


The new leaders who are backed by elements that include climate change activists question the SPD's continued participation in the government led by Merkel.


The anti-mass immigration Alternative for Germany electing two new leaders today.


Joerg Meuthen and Tino Chrupalla are the new AfD leaders.


Meuthen says that the new political reality in Germany is that the Christian Democrats will not be able to govern states or at the federal level without the AfD.


He is presenting a "moderate" message of a party that is readying itself for governance.


"We must become fit to govern.  This is our task for the next two years.   My path is conservative, peaceful and patriotic."


is the message from Meuthen.


Recent nationwide polling shows the Christian Democrats of  Chancellor Merkel down to 26 percent support, down from 32.9 percent at the last election.


In second place the Greens at 22 percent, the AfD at 15 percent and the SPD at 13 percent.

THE GREAT CHEMICAL ATTACK HOAX IN SYRIA AND A REAL WHISTLE BLOWER



In April of 2018 then UN Ambassador Nikki Haley raged against the Syrian government over an alleged chemical weapons attack in Douma.


And the President of the United States tweeted against:


"Animal Assad"


But now we've learned through the work of a whistle blower how the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons was manipulated into issuing a doctored report to implicate the Syrian regime in the attack in the months that followed.


Peter Hitchens actually met with the whistle blower in the past week and writes about it in his column this weekend.....
