Is Trump a KGB Agent?
By Julio Severo
Cliff Kincaid, a Catholic who sees widespread Russian
conspiracies in every crisis and problem in this world and outside it, has
written a number of articles against what he sees as a Trump-Putin “romance.”
He consistently denounces Putin and now he denounces the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump too.
Last year, Kincaid published an article suggesting that
evangelical author Don Hank was receiving Russian money to support Putin. His
Brazilian friend Olavo de Carvalho fully agreed, and published the Kincaid
piece in Portuguese at his Brazilian website Mídia Sem Mascara, and I ventured
to publish my answer here: Neocons,
the Inquisition, Russophobia and Lies.
Perhaps, according to their reasoning, Hank could be a
KGB agent. They could also charge that Hank is a “Trump agent” or that he
receives money from Trump, because Hank is an enthusiastic Trump supporter.
In this point, I disagree with Hank. Even though I
support Trump’s views on Russia and NATO, and I strongly back his stance that
Muslim immigrants should be banned, I am not comfortable with his
“conservative” and “pro-life” history and flip-flops.
Kincaid has had a consistent view on Putin and Trump
(Putin is pure evil and anyone supporting him is wicked too). But what is his
Brazilian friend, who was interviewed by him some time ago, doing backing
Trump? Carvalho, who equally sees widespread Russian conspiracies in every
crisis and problem and fully supported an attack on pro-Putin and pro-Trump
Hank, has publicly endorsed pro-Putin Trump.
If this is not hypocrisy, what is it?
Kincaid in America and Carvalho in Brazil have made it the
hallmark of their work to charge Russia with every possible evil and charge that
its supporters as equally wicked. Are Angela Merkel and Pope Francis opening
the European doors for an Islamic invasion? Kincaid and Carvalho have a very
simple answer: A Russian conspiracy, especially the KGB, is behind it!
What is the point or honesty in Carvalho supporting
Trump? If his reasoning were sincere, why not back Don Hank for president too?
Kincaid and Carvalho both have a problem with pro-Putin
Hank and pro-Putin Pat Buchanan. But why has Carvalho no problem with pro-Putin
Trump?
Buchanan supports Trump, and he has many reasons to do
so, because traditionally Buchanan opposes the neocon establishment and Trump
has taken a stance against it. Similarly, Hank is opposed to the neocon
establishment.
Carvalho has many reasons to charge Trump with being a
“KGB agent.” If to defend Putin is enough reason to make such charge (and he
and his Brazilian website have made abundant use of such charges against pro-Russia
conservative writers), why spare only Trump?
By the way, Carvalho is opposed to Buchanan, who has
the same stance on Russia and NATO as Trump does. But while Buchanan has a
solid conservative history (traditionalist Catholic, pro-life, former
Republican presidential candidate, former Reagan adviser, WND columnist),
Carvalho has a nebulous esoteric history, in particular, following the
“conservatism” of the Traditionalist or Perennial Philosophy of René Guénon, an
Islamic sorcerer who used to predict political trends and events. The first
translation into Portuguese of a Guénon book was made by Carvalho.
The reason Carvalho has to support Trump seems to be
his potty mouth. If you think Trump uses foul language, you did not see
Carvalho blogging in Portuguese. He makes abundant and constant public use of
such language, always in Portuguese and never in English. Possibly, he hopes
that a Trump victory will give him more freedom to use in the American conservative
culture the same leftist dirty and offensive language he uses day by day, hour
by hour, to communicate to his Brazilian audience, especially through Facebook.
He excuses his foul mouth as a “strategy” because,
according to him, Vladimir Lenin used it successfully to spread Soviet Marxism,
and he hopes to achieve the same success by employing the same dirty tricks and
language to spread his “conservatism.” In fact, foul-mouthed “conservatism” is
his hallmark in Brazil. But his “strategy,” allegedly a weapon against socialists,
is also used to attack Brazilian conservatives that he feels threaten his views.
When I, a conservative evangelical, disagreed with him about the Catholic Inquisition,
which he says did not torture Jews and Protestants for the “crime” of different
views, his potty mouth did not spare me any public abuse, insult and
revilement.
Any individual disagreeing with his foul mouth and views
(including about an
alleged anesthetic Inquisition) is seen and treated by him as a mortal
enemy.
Even though he
charges that the Inquisition is an invention of U.S. Protestants, he lives
in the U.S. He left Brazil, the largest Catholic nation in the world, over 10
years ago.
Will a Trump victory reveal to America the real foul-mouthed
Carvalho that he is in Portuguese? I do not know.
Perhaps he is supporting Trump because he foresaw a
Trump victory. Before choosing to present himself as a conservative philosopher
who predicts political trends and events, he was a famous astrologer (and founder
and director of the first Brazilian school of astrologers) who predicted
political trends and events. So it is very common for his foul-mouthed followers
to say today that “Master Olavo predicted this and that political trend and
event.”
But does this excuse the fact that he is not charging
Trump with being a “KGB agent”?
I do not know if Cliff Kincaid is a foul-mouthed
Catholic. I only know that he is consistent about his opposition to Putin,
Russia and pro-Putin Trump. It is because of his consistency that he could
never support Don Hank for president. But I do not know where is Carvalho’s
consistency when he condemns pro-Putin and pro-Trump Buchanan and Hank and at
the same time endorses pro-Putin Trump.
I do not know if neocons are potty-mouthed, but
certainly they are potty-minded, and obsessively anti-Russia.
Carvalho’s two hallmarks both align him and alienate
him from Trump. His strident anti-Russian views alienate him from Trump. His
strident foul mouth aligns him with Trump.
If a leftist dirty and offensive language were not so
important for him, he would certainly be charging Trump with being a “KGB
agent.”
