It is quite astonishing how often Western dissidents simply fail to understand what is in front of them.
For example, it is plain that Israel knew that Iran did not want to build a nuclear weapon so they wished to behave in such a manner that any sensible person would start to build a nuclear weapon. This was obvious.
But more to the point is the complete failure to translate words appropriately.
When the Western elite (WE) say something it must be translated into layman’s English:
| Western Elite say | What they mean |
| Russia is planning to invade Europe | We want to invade Russia |
| Black people want to live off social benefits | We plan to withdraw benefits from Black people |
| Trump: for centuries our country has been looted raped and pillaged by countries near and far, both friend and foe alike. | We plan to rob, loot and rape countries near and far (e.g. Greenland, Canada, Mexico ..) both fried amd foe (tariffs on Japan, Europe et al) |
| China has been stealing our IP | We plan to steal China’s IP |
| Trump: we plan to make savings by firing excess federal employees | We will increase military expenditure by more than the amount we might save by the firing of federal employees, |
| China is adopting aggressive trading practices | We intend to adopt aggressive trade practices against China |
| Tariffs will be paid by foreigners | Ordinary Americans will pay the trade tariffs |
| We hold all the cards against China | China holds all the cards |
| Trump will introduce tax cuts | Taxes will be increased but transferred to different parties, from the rich to the middle class and the poor |
Endless discussions that Trump does not know what he is talking about would end if the dissidents simply translated him correctly and then engaged with that text.
To be a member of the Washington elite means learning to speak this way. If I want to grant more exploration licences, I would say we need to oppose those anti-oil supporters holding back the country.I don’t care about the environment I will say we need to reduce the red tape that is slowing down production.
Otherwise, if they simply follow the words, the dissidents are simply complicit in blowing smoke over the eyes of the ordinary Americans.
