In an old episode of The Simpsons, Marge gives Homer a card containing all the advice he needs: Always do opposite of what Bart says. Like Bart Simpson, the left media are an ever-reliable guide in what not to believe.
If the MSM tells you that ‘social distancing’ will save you from ‘the deadliest virus since Spanish Flu’, then you know that both are lies. If the MSM tells you that ‘youths’ of no particular description are running violently amok, then you know it’s one of their protected intersectional classes. If the MSM tells you a leader is ‘kind’ and ‘empathetic’, then you know they’re an incompetent authoritarian.
And when the MSM writes an analysis of how the Bad Orange Man is wrecking the noble G7, then you know they’ve got the whole thing bass-ackwards.
The world is on fire from eastern Europe to the Middle East and beyond, and the G7 leaders are at odds over how to analyse, let alone solve, any of these conflicts.
French President Emmanuel Macron and others want Israel to desist from further escalation against Iran.
You mean to say that European leaders are being feckless and ineffectual in the face of an axis of authoritarian dictators? That’s never happened before!
US President Donald Trump may not have wanted Israel to attack Iran while his own envoy was trying to negotiate a deal with Tehran, but now that the war is underway he seems fine with Israel finishing the job.
Macron also intends to recognise Palestine as a sovereign state. By contrast, Trump’s ambassador to Israel told Bloomberg that the US no longer believes in a two-state solution, not even in the long term.
Which is, as it happens, a view clearly shared by the ‘Palestinian’ Arab interlopers in Israel, as well. They violently rejected a two-state solution in 1948 and they’ve continued to violently reject it in the 80 years since, and most horrifically on October 7, 2023. If Macron still thinks a two-state solution is even possible, let alone wants to reward the savages of Gaza for their enormities, then he’s not just an idiot: he’s a monster.
Still, we can rely on the MSM to just keep on lyin’.
All this and more is happening against the backdrop of the trade wars that Trump has launched against his fellow summiteers and other guests (such as Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese). Co-ordinating a harmonious and open global monetary and commercial regime was the original purpose of these annual summits. Now the best that the six non-American participants can hope for is to talk Trump out of his worst protectionist impulses before even more draconian trade barriers snap into action next month.
Note that the MSM here make no mention that Trump’s ‘trade war’ is not only reciprocal – the European members of the G7 represent one of the most heavily tariff-protected regions in the world, there’s a ‘draconian trade barrier’ for you – but dedicated to breaking China’s economic stranglehold on recklessly gullible and greedy Western nations. The “harmonious and open global monetary and commercial regime” valourised by the MSM has mostly conspired to screw over Western workers and industries.
Trump already disrupted a G7 meeting in Canada once. That was in 2018, when he baulked at signing the joint communique – the ritual common statement produced at the end of a summit – and for good measure called his host, Carney’s predecessor Justin Trudeau, “dishonest and weak”.
And...? Where was Trump wrong: not just about Trudeau, but about the entire weak, woke and greedy waste of time that’s the G7?
