• Despite manifold predictions and chatter among Trump's critics and doomsayers inside the beltway and the coastal bubbles, this new administration hasn't come close to the disasters of other new first term Presidents. Want some facts? John F. Kennedy took office on January 20, 1961. Only 74 days after taking office, President Kennedy approved, on April 4, 1961, the CIA's disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion plan. The resulting damage to U.S. prestige globally, and foreign relations with Cuba and beyond, has now lasted for generations, but MSM doesn't want you to remember that. Journalist Glenn Greenwald nails it including the current MSM mindset:
• Chaos and confusion in the EU as "kicking the can" and "extend and pretend" nears the end, and Poland and other nations demand an overhaul of the European Union.

• Dear Europe re: NATO--Trump says US taxpayers no longer willing to be EU's paying patsy--NATO's target for all of NATO's 28 member states is that defense spending equal 2 per cent of each member state's economic output. At present, only the US, UK, Estonia, Poland and Greece meet the target (even NATO member Canada falls short!). One accounting shows Germany should spend $30 billion more each year, Italy $18 billion, Spain $16 billion, and France $6 billion. One problem: increases in defense spending for many EU nations would put them in violation of EU budgetary rules, which means EU members may have to re-allocate their spending to meet NATO's target, perhaps cutting their contributions to the EU budget?--more at FT.com.Big portion of US "news": 1) IC anonymously dumps what it wants to public; 2) media outlets oblige, get clicks; 3) believe what feels good— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) February 10, 2017

One More Thing:
"If man is not to do more harm than good in his efforts to improve the social order, he will have to learn that in this, as in all other fields where essential complexity of an organized kind prevails, he cannot acquire the full knowledge which would make mastery of the events possible. He will therefore have to use what knowledge he can achieve, not to shape the results as the craftsman shapes his handiwork, but rather to cultivate a growth by providing the appropriate environment, in the manner in which the gardener does this for his plants.”--Friedrich von Hayek, Nobel Prize Lecture 1974
