The Council for the National Interest has been discussed on this list from time 
to time, as Alison Weir is the president of this organization.  Looking today, 
I see that the website has not published any articles since April 14th.
The article on the role of the Israel Lobby is illustrated with a picture of 
Obama.  Still no picture of Trump.

Very foolish of him to consider Trump to be less hawkish. I am surprised
given the sophistication of the rest of his positions (not that I agree
with all of them) that he would believe something so ridiculous.

That being said, the rest of the article looks like a fairly accurate
condemnation of Trump and his Zionism.

 Philip Giraldi still struggling with his support for Trump.  Looks like Trump 
is a victim of Israeli pushiness.

While the presidential campaign was still in progress it was possible to think 
that there might be some positive change in America’s broken foreign policy. 
Hillary Clinton was clearly the candidate of Washington Establishment 
hawkishness, while Donald Trump was declaring his disinclination for democracy 
and nation building overseas as well as promoting détente with Russia. Those of 
us who considered the foreign policy debacle to be the most dangerous issue 
confronting the country, particularly as it was also fueling domestic tyranny, 
tended to vote on the basis of that one issue in favor of Trump.

Trump might think he is ushering in a new era of American policy based on 
American interests but it is beginning to look a lot like same-old same-old but 
even worse, and Benjamin Netanyahu will be very much in the driver’s seat.

Isn't this the same article you posted last time?

Your post (referencing the Green Party) implies that CNI endorses Trump.
Given that the article does no such thing ["While the self-immolating
Donald Trump certainly deserves much of the criticism hurled at him...";] I
don't know why Giraldi is expected to address the Green Party. The point is
simple: focusing on Trump's disgusting record has in fact been used to
obscure Hillary Clinton's warmongering ["The point to be considered is that
the fog created by the trashing of Trump obscures the very real danger
posed by a possible President Hillary Rodham Clinton"].  That is a matter
of fact, I don't know why it is necessary to address the Greens.

A WORLD GONE MAD: VOTERS SHOULD WAKE UP TO THE ISSUE OF WAR VERSUS PEACE.

The relentless drumbeat against Donald Trump continues. The Washington Post on 
October 14 endorsed Hillary Clinton for president while also including in the 
print edition nine articles, three op-eds, and three letters blasting the GOP 
candidate, including pieces in the Style and Metro sections of the paper. On 
the following day there were five articles, a lead editorial, three letters, 
two op-eds, and two cartoons. And the Post is not alone, with the New York 
Times doing its bit in running news articles on Trump’s alleged sexual 
proclivities while the television media continue to run with the stories 
relating to earlier revelations. When Trump raised the possibility that all of 
this activity is being coordinated and possibly in part fabricated by the 
Clinton campaign, he was castigated for even suggesting such a thing.
