Trump is determined to return the US to its number one spot as the worlds biggest polluter.

The start

Donald Trump has signed executive orders to allow construction of the Dakota Access and Keystone XL oil pipelines, a move certain to anger environmentalists and Native Americans.

Trump’s move provoked an immediate backlash. Bernie Sanders, Democratic senator for Vermont, said: “Millions of people came together all over this country to stop the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines and say we must transform our energy system away from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Today, President Trump ignored the voices of millions and put the short-term profits of the fossil fuel industry ahead of the future of our planet.

These first hundred days promise to be quite something, got to love those executive orders. TPP may be trashed in principle, but Trump will only increase Corporate Power within the US and I'm sure any new "NAFTA" will be tar sands friendly.

The era of Goldman Sachs and the Oligarchy has been solidified.

Israel has taken Trump to mean

Israel has approved a plan to construct 2,500 new settlement homes in the occupied West Bank, two days after the country accepted building permits for more than 500 settler homes in occupied East Jerusalem.

Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman said in a statement on Tuesday that he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed on the approval "in response to housing needs".

Funny how it's the Defence Minister doing the talking, but when you add this

Newly inaugurated US President Donald Trump is about to reverse an historical course that has been in the making for 100 years.

The inexperienced, demagogic politician hardly understands the danger that lies in his decision to move the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. If he goes through with this, he is likely to unleash an episode of chaos in an already volatile region.

It looks like our wars in the Middle East could get a real boost, the MIC will be pleased. Jobs!

Volatile = good for business. The mercenaries will be dancing in the streets shortly. Jobs!

The thinking goes if we have the pipelines then the Middle East can go to hell [even more so].

I wonder what BS is on the agenda tomorrow?

This may come to a head faster than even I thought it would.

The US as an isolationist aggressor, a cocktail best served in hell.
