While U.S. President Donald Trump was announcing that Israel and Hamas had reached an agreement to release hostages and end the war, former U.K. Prime Minister and Ukrainian peace saboteur Boris Johnson “zapped over” to his King’s former colony to try and slam shut the stable doors. However, judging from the response of the students he addressed at Liberty University, it appears that he arrived too late and the horses were long gone, so there was nothing to be done, but to poop on the stable floor and make the best of it.
Boris Johnson was the invited convocation speaker at Liberty University in Virginia on Oct. 8. (The university was founded by Christian evangelist Jerry Falwell.) After thanking the crowd of 16,000 students for inviting him, he praised the university for being a “bastion of freedom” standing against the threat of tyranny, of which there was no greater proof than the assassination of Charlie Kirk, whom he eerily described as a “martyr to our inalienable right as human beings to say what is in our heart … and I hope that I’m looking out at the next generation of Charlie Kirks….” The rest of his speech revealed that that was precisely his fear.
He complained that the “West [and] U.S. looks ever weaker and more confused. Yesterday was October the 7th. And it was appalling to see crowds both in this country and in my own country actually demonstrating not against Hamas, which committed those massacres two years ago, but demonstrating against Israel’s legitimate attempts to stop such a massacre happening again. And we saw crowds screaming hatred of Jewish people when Hamas today could end that conflict on excellent terms for them, if they would only release those 20 remaining hostages and the bodies of the dead.”
Clearly he meant for the crowd to applaud these remarks, but the silence was dense and grew denser as he continued. His denunciations of Islamo-fascist Iran drew no response, nor did his long-winded attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin as a murderous thug, trying to destroy the great “democratic” state of Ukraine, as Iran and Hamas wanted to destroy the great “democratic” state of Israel. He never once mentioned the peace deal then being negotiated, and said that Trump has been “too soft” on Putin, but was doing better now (Tomahawks anyone?). He denounced members of his own party for daring to say that NATO had provoked Russia, and his young audience listened stony-faced.
When he spoke about how much he loved the nearly 30 minutes of “Christian” music which preceded his remarks, but complained that they got the words wrong in “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” (which they hadn’t sung), which should have been “God Save Our Gracious King,” the crowd broke out into boos and cat calls.
He praised America for the “freedom” that allowed Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk to become billionaires, and came back to the changing lyrics and tea dumping, saying, “Of course I support you,” and went on to denounce the European Union for not having representative government, and (of all things) going limp on arming Ukraine. He denounced Marine LePen for saying favorable words about Putin, and the AfD for not wanting war against Russia.… In other words, his colonial agenda was plain for all to see.
BoJo finally got the students to applaud against the “fascist Hamas” by telling stories about how “men in balaklavas” had burned down a “crazy water park” where Palestinians were too scantily clad. “We are pro-crazy wave park and anti-Hamas!” he yelled, and finally the students applauded for this bit of foolishness, but clearly were not buying his “anti-authoritarian state” crusade.
What was clear from the response, or lack thereof, of the 16,000 students in attendance, is that the British Empire and their Zionist lackeys have lost control of the American people. No one believes that Israel and Ukraine are great democratic states to be protected, nor do they wish to be in perpetual war against Iran, Russia, North Korea or Hamas. If Marco Rubio were to ask them, these young people probably don’t want to be at war with Venezuela either.
It also has become clear from the reports of Gershon Baskin and Ehud Olmert that President Donald Trump’s forceful personality was decisive in bringing Israeli war criminal Netanyahu to heel. As Trump had commented some days ago, Bibi had “gone too far.” That is, Israel, with its genocidal crusade against the Palestinian people, had lost the support and goodwill of the majority of Americans, and may have even lost control of the U.S. Congress, as Trump has observed.
While President Trump is clearly very determined to make this deal stick, the British and their billionaire fellow-travellers depend on making it fail. Every major media mouthpiece of the Anglosphere is hyping the aberrations which are bound to occur.
In the European theater, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has yet to be resolved, and President Trump’s comments seeming to imply that he will threaten Putin with Tomahawk missiles for Ukraine, indicate that the President remains confused, at best, about the root causes of that war.
Contrary to the outlook of Thomas Hobbes or René Descartes, grand strategy is not pairwise interaction between hard balls bouncing off each other. As President Putin expressed recently, “it is complex.” There is no such thing as “Middle East Peace” if the United States is at odds with Russia, China, India, or Iran. As Helga Zepp-LaRouche keeps insisting, the nations of the West must abandon “balance of power” geopolitics, and conceive of a new order of relations among perfectly sovereign nations. This was the intent of the American Declaration of Independence from the British Empire, and the British have spent two and a half centuries trying to make sure that that doesn’t occur. If Boris Johnson is the best they have to offer, they are in deep trouble.
