Why The Neutralist? The term Isolationist implies a narrow Fortress America outlook and is used as an epithet. The term Neutralist does not indicate someone hiding out from the world. No one calls the Swiss isolationists. The Wilsonian world view is old, tired and wrong. Our interventions have been less and less successful and now the failure can no longer be covered up.

More Neocons Going After The Russian-It probably isn't enough

The anti-Russkie drumbeat gets louder and louder everyday.  Two posts ago, we noted that God, that is the voice of Morgan Freeman is worried.


Morgie, Rob Reiner and others are teaming up to take on the bogeyman in the shape of Putin.


They, however, are not the only ones.  Over at Sic Semper Tyrannis, Colonel Lang has information on Alliance for Securing Democracy.
Who are they?


“The recently created Alliance for Securing Democracy, housed (at least for now) at the German Marshall Fund--USA is one of the core anti-Putin, anti-Russia operations that merits keeping an eye on, especially as it impacts Congressional hearings, resolutions, and media.  It’s an alliance of hard core neo-cons who were in the thick of promoting the 2003 Iraq war and the "axis of evil" attacks on Iran-Iraq-North Korea during Bush 43 administration, with the hillary-cons.”   


Just who is the German Marshall Fund?  On The Ministry of Information, I mean NPR, they are occasionally mentioned as providing money for some of the propaganda programming.  I thought it was a fund to thank us for lending Les Boches a helping hand after we were done bombing them to smithereens.


Here is a link to Der Spiegel that is a tribute to the founder, but basically is a history of the GMF.


It is a Neocon safe space.


Read Sic Semper Tyrannis article DECAMERON: NEO-CON RESET.

The article also updates us on the doings of Neocon star Bill Kristol.


“Kristol has a new home on the Advisory Board of the Alliance for Securing Democracy along with Michael Chertoff, and the anti-Putin ex-Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul.  Also on the Board is Jake Sullivan, a top Hillary operative at the State Dept.   Chertoff recently landed a Wall Street Journal article on September 6th, headlined, Congress Can Help Prevent Election Hacking.   I expect there will be a lot of Congressional action on this front if the “Alliance for Securing Democracy” has its way.  
Securing democracy?  The crowd that brought us Iraq in 2003, Libya in 2011?”
Why is Bill Kristol still circulating.  One has to understand that he probably believes he is a genius, but his war promotion and other buffoonery should mark him as the anti-prophet, i.e. anything he says on any subject should be seen as conclusive evidence that taking the opposite tack is wisdom.
The Neutralist has asked before, but if there is a reader that has a cogent argument as to why anyone should listen seriously to this man, please let us know.
SST references Glenn Greenwald and he is always worth reading.

And, for your listening displeasure, a Neocon anthem!
