The horse’s mouth that couldn’t keep a secret

 Finally, Clifford D. May has let his mouth tell it like it was and still is. The reality is that throughout his careers as a lawyer, a journalist and propagandist for Israel, May refrained from revealing where he stood sentimentally in relation to what he was doing. He simply went about executing the tasks he was handed to fulfill by Jewish Central, and he completed them as well as he knew how.

 

And then, deliberately or by a Freudian slip of the tongue, Clifford May opened the Pandora’s Box on his most secretive sentiment: It is that he admires the dictators of the world, and cherishes the fact that he served and continues to serve as adviser to the most savage of dictators, those who populate Israel.

 

May let it all hang out in a column he wrote under the title: “Yes, Xi Jinping is a dictator, and he should be proud of it.” He reinforced that point of view later in the text by explaining that “Mr. Xi should be proud to be recognized as a dictator — indeed, the most powerful dictator in the world today.” The article was published on June 27, 2023 in The Washington Times.

 

Clifford May proceeded to highlight the accomplishments of Mr. Xi by pinning the appropriate medals on his chest. Here, in condensed form, is how he did that:

 

“He [Xi Jinping] is a Leninist, and it was Lenin’s achievement to establish the first dictatorship of the proletariat. Mr. Xi is also a Maoist, and when Mao founded the People’s Republic of China, he called it a people’s democratic dictatorship. [It is that] in the Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist-Maoist sense, a dictatorship is democratic because it empowers communists to do what they consider necessary to serve the people who matter: the proletariat, aka the working class. A priority task is to prevent the establishment of a liberal democracy, which would act in the interests of the bourgeoisie and counterrevolutionary classes”.

 

But according to Clifford May, Xi Jinping did not distinguish himself simply by choosing the political affiliations he felt comfortable with, and adhered to them in the abstract. Rather, Mr. Xi allied himself with the most redoubtable of dictators alive today, helped them, nurtured them and propped them to do some of the dirty work around the world which serves the interests of China.

 

Here are the allies that Mr. Xi picked to work with directly:

 

“First, there is Ali Khamenei, supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, [who claims to] represent the Prophet Muhammad on Earth. Second, there is Mr. Xi’s pet bulldog, Kim Jong Un, the third generation of the North Korean dynastic dictatorship. Third, there is Mr. Xi’s most important ally, Vladimir Putin, who transitioned from Russian leader to Russian dictator. His rivals have ended up in prisons or graveyards”.

 

And here are the allies by extension that Mr. Xi may have to work with indirectly:

 

Fourth, Yevgeny Prigozhin whose checkered career has included serving time for robbery, running a hot-dog stand, and amassing a fortune as a caterer to the Kremlin. Fifth, the Wagner Group, a private military company run by Prigozhin who was loyal to Mr. Putin till he launched a mutiny complaining against Russia’s military establishment. Sixth, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko who brokered the truce that allowed Prigozhin to go live in Belorussia, away from Putin’s reach”.

 

This is what prompted Clifford May to point out the confusion that exists in and around the Kremlin. Here is what he said in that regard:

 

“Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russian authorities had decided not to prosecute Mr. Prigozhin for his rebellion but to allow him safe passage to Belarus. Later, however, a Russian news agency cited an authoritative source saying that a criminal case against Mr. Prigozhin is continuing. Later still, Mr. Putin said Wagner fighters can join the Russian army, go back home, or go to Belarus”.

 

May then wondered what impact all this will have on Putin’s War in Ukraine. And he could not help but express the conclusion that Mr. Xi has been paying close attention to how his brother dictator copes with this crisis. He also drew the lesson that: “A shrewd dictator does not allow anyone to acquire significant power”.

 

Clifford May then exploited all that history and all those current events to predict a gloomy picture for the Western World that does not seem worried or aware of what’s percolating half the way around the globe, and preparing to confront and defeat the West, a surprise that the writer seems to think will come sooner than later.

 

To make that last point clear, reinforce it and urge the West to prepare for the upcoming confrontation, Clifford May zeroed in on the character of Xi Jinping, painting him as the genocidal dictator who single-handedly subjugated the peoples of Tibet and Xinjiang, that New Frontier which ultimately became an imperial possession, a fate that Mr. Xi reserves for the Western entities he plans to conquer and add to his possessions according to Clifford May.

 

Be that as it may, even if future events unfold clearly in the imagination of Clifford May, he does not see President Biden being aware of what’s coming. Thus, Clifford May advises Joe Biden that the least he can do is not for a moment forget that the grand ambition of China’s dictator is to dictate to America and, indeed, the entire planet.
