[Peace-discuss] [Peace] Mueller madness (fill out your bracket)

[C G Estabrook]

Neoconservatism took its rise a half-century ago among American liberal partisans of Israel (often former Trotskyists), frightened that the anti-Vietnam war movement (by 1969 about 70% of the public had come to regard the war as “fundamentally wrong and immoral,” not “a mistake,” largely as a result of the impact of student protest on general consciousness) would lessen American willingness to fight for the expansion of Israel. 

"Historically speaking, the term ‘neoconservative' refers to those who made the ideological journey from the anti-Stalinist left to the camp of American conservatism during the 1960s and 1970s. The movement had its intellectual roots in the Jewish monthly review magazine Commentary, edited by Norman Podhoretz and published by the American Jewish Committee. They spoke out against the New Left and in that way helped define the movement.” Wikipedia.

>> Amidst all the fun, it's worthwhile remembering why the US political establishment concocted this smear against Trump: they were desperately afraid he would reduce the Obama administration's wars and war provocations, which were designed to prevent the emergence of Russia and China as what Brzezinski called 'peer competitors' for US economic hegemony.
