THE DEATH SPIRAL OF THE WEST

Is karma at work in the USA?

In the nation that killed millions overseas within living memory and millions more in its bloody history, beginning with its native population, and continuing with its slave population, these times are bleak.

In excess of a thousand die per day are being helped on their way by the coronavirus, Covid-19.

Mother Nature is blind to good and bad. She will not be picking out solely those who rabidly cheered on Dubya’s illegal wars and drooled to think of U.S. troops ‘killing them all to let God sort them out’. Decent people will be dying along with the racist warmongers who chanted their jingoistic slogans at that time.

No one would wish this curse upon the sick, elderly and those with the weak constitution brought on by bad diet and inability to pay the exorbitant health care costs prevalent across America. But dying they are, in their thousands each and every day. And there are over eleven million souls now affected with hospitals nearing maximum capacity.

Are the extremist and creationist, born again and evangelical “Christians” calling it a curse and if so what genesis are they choosing to identify as its cause? Who knows what lunatic reason they have fixed upon? However, it is unlikely it would be the communal guilt the USA bears for the death and devastation it has caused and continues to seek to cause worldwide.

America’s politicians from top to bottom are in disarray with Trump the worst of all culprits when it comes to delusional thinking and the promulgation of idiotic notions regarding the virus. Its mayors preside over different policies in different states, each one in crisis management mode seemingly totally unable to get a firm grip on the crisis. Its health care, with patchy coverage costing the savings and homes of anyone within its unenviable system has developed nothing for basic needs geared as it is to soak the rich.

Meanwhile, mobs of neaderthal-like boobies gather to protest their inane independence in their usual idiotic and braindead fashion. Are they chanting “Let Covid kill us and God can sort us out”? Unlikely, as there cannot possibly be a more delusionary, self-obsessed mob of mindless bullies and tyrants anywhere on Earth than in this benighted USA.

As it reels from the effects of the virus, its co-conspirator in war crimes and crimes against humanity, the so-called United Kingdom reels with it. Both, for their diverse and disgusting reasons, have been hit the hardest by this very modern plague. Can it really be coincidence that it was these two which were the driving forces behind all the regime change wars we have seen since 9/11?

Britain too has its bloody history which pulls it toward the karmic punishment that whether metaphorical or real seems entirely appropriate. It supplied many of those who slaughtered the native population of the USA and bought the slaves that were used to make fortunes for their masters and mistresses. The British Empire was more than cause enough with its heartless exploitation to generate such a karmic “reward”. And in more recent times it assisted the USA in its murderous assaults across the Middle East based on a pack of lies. This murderous activity continues to this very day in Yemen where both the USA and UK bare enormous guilt for the unconscionable war that Saudi Arabia has inflicted upon the Yemeni people. Britain and the USA are the primary suppliers of advanced weaponry and logistical support with which the Saudis carry out the bloody carnage there.

Death has been an industry for both the USA and UK for generation after generation. Now that bitter harvest appears to have returned to its source with a plague of illness and premature death being visited upon them.

Is it totally coincidental that at least one of the two primary nations who stood against the West’s wars of choice in the Middle East has managed to do what the advocates and instigators of those bloody crimes have not? China has taken the necessary measures to defeat the virus and now stands ready to become ever-stronger thereby. Just yesterday an agreement was signed between China and a group of fourteen other nations comprising the ‘Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership’, the world’s largest trading bloc that now covers one third of the global economy.

As the West continually exposes its weakness, the East rises and demonstrates there’s a better path to follow than that of aggression, exploitation and endless war, a path bringing ever-enhanced cooperation and stability through trust and trade.

Of course the karmic revenge scenario is fanciful in the extreme. Such justice is an unlikely feature in a world where many like to find causes for effects in myriad conspiracy theories and others say God knows and guides all. Both these notions are utterly flawed at their base. However, one thing is certainly clear. The West is foundering and the USA and UK are its two most prominent activist aggressors. I choose not to see it as coincidence that it is these two in particular that are writhing within a death spiral now.

THE WEST’S DEMOCRATIC CONTRADICTIONS

THE WEST’S DEMOCRATIC CONTRADICTIONS

Western elites believe they have the perfect system in the multi-party democracy.

This is their justification for multiple regime change ops. But how true is this belief and therefore their justification?

They sit on high, justifying attacking, undermining, criticizing and perhaps even invading nations for the sake of their citizens who they feel compelled to free so that they can enjoy the best political system that could ever be envisioned. But how true is this assertion and therefore how justified are these elites in interfering in other nations as they do with virtual impunity?

There are several major contradictions in the premises these elites live by when it comes to surveying the world in terms of being lesser than they and their “enlightened” values and systems.

The first contradiction in the West’s determination to bring democracy to everyone is the inconsistent nature of their regime change strategy. Theocratic dictatorships are apparently exempt (at least if they are allies of the West). The citizens of Saudi Arabia for instance can apparently be left out of the equation which it comes to the desperate need to spread democracy far and wide. The same goes for other allies of the West in the Middle East such as Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Kuwait.

However, Iran, also a partial theocracy, but a nation where its citizens can and do vote freely for those they favor in Iran’s political hierarchy, is deemed a suitable case for regime change.

This inconsistency must at the very least cast doubt on the saintly principles which western elites profess to have about bringing freedom and democracy to all. It contradicts the image of consistency in superior moral stances in which they like to portray themselves. This becomes particularly evident when they supply a theocratic dictatorship such as that in Saudi Arabia with advanced weaponry with which to pound a poverty-stricken nation like Yemen back into a Stone Age they were already precariously close to.

But let us look at a much wider and more overarching contradiction or two within the western political system which professes itself to be perfect.

How is it doing currently in respect of the coronavirus pandemic? How is it doing by comparison with China for instance?

In the West, within the oh-so perfect system of democracy you usually have two primary parties who tend always to be contradicting each other. This latter has been the case until relatively recently when it has become more normal for both parties to attempt to occupy the business-friendly middle ground on most issues with differences relegated to specific side issues on which they fight incessantly. The worst excesses of big business tend not to receive much attention, quite the opposite, these are encouraged to grow the economy and to nestle ever closer elite to elite with those in upper political circles. meanwhile the average voter can be forgiven for thinking his or her vote is almost worthless as his or her problems appear to stay forever irrelevant.

The constant fighting between the two primary parties and the in-fighting inside them to gain power creates an ongoing atmosphere of chaos where disagreement stifles forward progress and a four year merry-go-round political cycle means much that the earlier occupant of power did, is undone.

How many voters in such a system truly believes the political class and their system works to his or her benefit and not for the benefit of the elites of the business class?

Compare the chaos in the West with the decade upon decade progress of China. There the kind of democracy seen in the West is surplus to requirements. The ethos of benefiting all citizens is embedded in the foundations of its political system. The Communist Party of China is solely responsible to the people of China and is duty bound to fulfill its responsibilities. It must do this or face the consequences in terms of declining support and rising protest. It does not have the option of leaving power and promising to be better next time. (China does have three or four minor political parties outwith the mighty communist party but they mostly provide a different point of view while working closely with the CPC.)

China’s leadership, with the welfare of all their citizens in mind acted swiftly to counter the coronavirus pandemic once its danger was realized. Building two complete hospitals in two weeks and organizing a comprehensive project to contain the virus was something the West could never manage.

China has shown it has the capacity to react with alacrity in the presence of threat to its people. Experts say the present pandemic will certainly not be the last or most severe. And this is not the only threat, climate change will certainly produce much more devastating effects if present trends continue. Only nations like China who have a strong command economy planned for the benefit of all with motivation at every level to behave in a dutiful manner to their populations will be capable of facing such threats.

China’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic has shown by comparison what a divided and dysfunctional mess the West is in, at least in respect of its two most belligerent nations, the United States and the United Kingdom.

Yet China is very definitely a regime change target. Listen to Mike Pompeo on the subject in recent weeks and months and Biden’s foreign policy is unlikely to waver from that advocated by Pompeo.

Russia, with has many more elements of western democracy than China and the Middle Eastern states the West loves so much, yet could be said to have been number one regime change target for at least a decade and a half. She is stable currently due mostly to the leadership qualities of her president and the popularity of his party. However, if western elites get their way this could change and see Russia descend into the kind of hyper-chaos of the political sphere all too evident in the West. In my opinion, in order to be safe from this eventuality Russia ought to move toward the Chinese model with Putin’s party United Russia amalgamating with Russia’s opposition party, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.

The future is full of threat. In my view, as a species we can no longer afford the chaos that western political systems  engender. We need enlightened, unified leadership that puts the everyday man and woman on the street in the position of highest priority, not big business, a leadership based on sound principles, detailed planning, good science and the promotion of the public good.

The last thing the world and its people need is the political world of the West that resembles a battlefield where the warring interests of those with conflicting ambitions take pride of place, where power-hungry, self-interested politicians constantly look over their shoulders at their donors rather than to the voters, there only to be stimulated on one or two issues come election time.

The inherently divisive, hugely fractured so-called democratic system of the West will be totally unable to face what’s coming. It is an anachronism stemming from a barbaric past whose time limit has long expired if we are to have the kind of civilization on our planet we have surely all dreamed of.

Therefore I find that western elites are NOT justified in looking down their noses at political systems which do not reflect the same principles of their own. They should learn a little humility, look to their current abject failures, consider how they might improve themselves rather than others... and face at last the inherent contradictions that prove that their regime change interventions are neither noble nor justified but are in fact self-interested crimes against humanity.

THE FASCIST U.S. STATE

Looking down its collective elite nose at the rest of the world, constantly blinding itself with notions of enemies everywhere, the U.S. national security state is deeply and irredeemably fascistic.

There are Americans and then there are those demons who inhabit the elite levels of the USA both within the state security apparatus and those who supposedly control them. Each tells the other the lies that keep them both equally insane.

Above the intelligence agencies the political hierarchy, deep within its group-thought ignorance, incessantly spreads a self-reinforcing wall of misinformation one to another. The themes are monotonously repetitive:

1. The USA as global savior, endlessly good, protective of all decent values everywhere.

2. The USA, exceptional in everything, a holy presence guided always by God.

3. We, God’s servants, saintly, all-wise, sacrificing all for the good of humankind.

4. We, the sword of God, destroyers of mankind’s evil enemies, holiest of the holy.

5. All others beyond our shores are inferior and potential enemies to be destroyed.

6. We have no reason to doubt ourselves or our motives as we are never evil like our enemies, we are God’s chosen few.

Those who have not the slightest doubt about their goodness are capable of the most heinous evil imaginable.

These few U.S. elites, occupying the commanding heights of North American society are utterly fascistic in their mentality, as fascistic as any that went before them in Germany or Italy. For they are imbued with self-awarded perfection, uninspected godly wisdom and an unending mission to attack all forms of those they perceive to be of lesser worth and existence.

There can be no end to their work as all are perceived as lesser than them.

No atrocity will be called into question when perpetuated by them as it is the holy work they have sworn to take on and bring to its final conclusion. Torture becomes simply ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’. Prisoners are no longer prisoners requiring the rights granted them by the Geneva Convention, they become ‘unlawful combatants’. But such is the status of those who create evil in these ways that the so-called ‘International Community’ says almost nothing. For they are their fascist friends, their U.S. fascist friends. Sacrosanct. Infallible because they need to be seen that way. And protected to do the further evil that the future requires.

This is what is meant by ‘all necessary means’, the allowance to wage war. This is supposed to be granted only by the United Nations in extraordinary circumstances. But the U.S. fascistic elite consider themselves far above such entities that concern themselves with preserving peace or human rights.

The fascist U.S. state does what it likes whenever it likes to whoever it likes. The United Nations is a mere irritation to it, a stumbling block to its self-interest and its desire to use every overt and covert evil imaginable to achieve its goals.

It is the world’s primary terrorist state. It is the instigator of the vast majority of destructive acts across the planet. It has tens of thousands of staff dedicated to spreading fear and forging a path to mass murder and the destruction of nations.

It is the blood-streaked, saintly, grinning skull that offers you a “Have a nice day” before it destroys everything you have ever loved.

It is the fabulously wealthy, unbearably unctuous, horrendously lethal and brutally self-forgiving, U.S. fascist state.

THE CONSTANT U.S. STATE OF WAR

The national security state of the USA is vast. It is composed of thousands of highly educated specialists and administrators, every one of them on sky-high salaries with career ladders stretching to the stars.

Their jobs ALL depend on the U.S. having enemies.

Enemies are not hard to find as the USA has been at war for at least one hundred years in one way or another. You can create a lot of enemies in that time.

Of course no one among the thousands working for the U.S. national security state will ever admit that the enemies are useful and that without them they would lose their jobs. It will be an open secret among them of course, but to admit it in public is to be black balled and ejected from this close fraternity of liars.

I’m afraid yes, this is what we must call them. Or frauds perhaps.

It is one huge cabal of liars and frauds who make victims of others for pay. Millions of others.

And it follows also that millions must die. So that already fat specialist cats can get even fatter, their kids can go to the best schools and universities to become just like them and their entire families can enjoy the good life.

Nice set up, isn’t it? Only of course it isn’t... it’s the most foul, callous and cynical thing you could ever imagine.

Take a look at the trauma, the sheer hell that various nations have been put through. The dead children, an estimated half a million who died due to sanctions even before the first war on Iraq... for example.

Look at Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria. Look at the tens of thousands of deaths in Venezuela estimated to have been a direct result of U.S. sanctions on that country. Look at the coups and assassinations from Guatemala to El Salvador to Iran to those attempted in Cuba and elsewhere all down the years.

The cruelty is enormous. The complicity in mass murder unconscionable. The cynicism total.

Was there some actual reason to perpetrate all the interventions, interference and invasions? Possibly. But mostly they were perpetrated due to U.S. national and corporate interests, either in Latin America or across various nations in the Middle East. Is it any wonder that North America is known as ‘The Great Satan’ in Iran for instance? A CIA coup removed its democratically-elected president Mosaddegh and replaced him with The Shah who then ruled using his murderous CIA-trained secret police breeding an entirely appropriate hatred of the USA.

The intelligence agencies within the national security machine of the USA feed lies to their agents within mainstream media and they write the stories that talk of ‘unidentified sources’ or mention no sources, simply writing opinion pieces full of speculation and accusation about the enemies that are current.

It’s a dirty game. About the dirtiest game imaginable. And all with minimal scrutiny. Certainly within the U.S. government and little more among the now complicit staffs of the primary mass media channels who are fully on board regarding the chosen enemies of the moment.

The liberal classes of the USA are now also fully on board plus the entirety of the Democratic Party, now deep within the national security war machine.

And you know exactly where all this is heading... just at the moment when humanity needs most to pull together in order to face the major existential threats coming down the pike at us... it is heading to where we are now, deeper and deeper into the forever war. This is the war these cosseted elites, these hawks and warmongers, these intel wonks and geopolitical specialists also need forever... war and the threat of war. Enemies everywhere suits them just fine.

It’s the ultimate in irresponsibility. It’s the constant U.S. State of War.

TRUMP’S TORTURERS

No one should grieve over the departure of Donald Trump.

Though he promised to stop interfering in the affairs of other nations and abandon regime change he did nothing of the kind.

Instead he elevated such vile pigs as Bolton, Pompeo, Haley and Haspel to prominent positions.

This remains a mystery... except now we have a clue through knowing what a compulsive and serial liar he is.

It appears Trump said whatever would assist him whenever the need arose and that unless it was negative and highly destructive, divisive and hateful... you couldn’t believe a word of it.

So, what of Trump’s torturers?

Chief of that lair of creatures was John Bolton, by far the most loathsome warmonger to be unleashed in North America in recent times... but far from alone. He was stitched together from the same bloody and bastardized cloth as the maniac known as Dick Cheney.

Bolton only lasted long enough to attempt the overthrow of the democratically elected president of Venezuela before falling foul of the over-sensitive piece of human excrement that is Donald J. Trump.

Second in command of the USA’s terrorist goon squad is Mike Pompeo, ex-CIA liar and primary sophist among the various monsters Trump hired. He is still in office, no doubt due to his willingness to kiss the large arse of the ‘Great Leader’ giving no sign of the undoubted loathing he feels for him. 

Many were called but few were able to stomach the constant necessity to massage the great ego and stifle their frustration at his idiocy. They got their marching orders as soon as they didn’t accord him the utmost respect required for a “stable genius” of his caliber.

Haley, the high harridan of the UN, the arch-accuser using Nazi-style generalized demonization against Russian and Syrian forces attempting to successfully stymie U.S. proxy terrorists in Syria. happily, but none too soon Haley also departed. Yet another victim of ‘The Assad Curse’.

And what of Haspel, the evil witch who ran America’s black sites where torture was the norm, the everyday of her existence for so long? She was given, surprise, surprise the directorship of the CIA... or should we say dictatorship? Abu Ghraib continues in Langley under her remit. No doubt she also pays regular visits to Gitmo where souls lost to justice forever languish under the kind ministrations of yet more U.S. torturers.

A nice bunch of monsters wouldn’t you say?rAll well-heeled, impervious to criticism, no doubt all with very lucrative book deals in waiting, if not already paid out in full. Nice blood money if you can get it.

These are the slime of the slime, the dregs of the dregs, the bottom feeders that found levels below any moral basement ever known.

The helpers who dwell with Trump in the despicable swamp we know as elite USA.

Trump’s torturers... soon to be replaced by nice new, and oh-so respectable monsters tapped by Uncle Joe ‘Hang ‘em High’ Biden.

BIDEN’S BOMBS

Biden’s bombs will arrive fully sanctified by the coalition of the killing.

Accept no substitutes.

Die grateful, assured that only white western elites, sanctified by their democratically imbued voters killed you.

The family members left behind to grieve can be consoled that your killer-in-chief was a nice old man with a grey scalp known as Joe. It’s called kindly killing.

Biden’s bombs will land singing Christmas carols as they whistle down on you.

Gather the colorful garlands they are swathed in heralding bountiful human rights. Find joy in the greetings they bring of better times to come with all your new freedoms. No need to dig into the hard soil around you... these missiles come with instant cremation. An added bonus is the plentiful supply of fresh meat scraps for your pets and farm animals. Be glad, the USA gives you such a bounteous supply of gifts!

All the liberal-minded folks here in the land of the “free” with their emphasis on human rights, democracy and openness are sending you a fast track route to a similar heavenly domain.

Aren’t you overjoyed not to be killed by Bush Cluster Choppers, Obama Death Drones and Trump Cruise Crunchers?

Now you are to be rewarded for all your pains by Biden’s Bone-Busting Bombs.

Aren’t you suitably grateful for these “small” mercies?

How about a big smile for the guys back in Nevada?

And of course for the new American saint, Joe ‘The Bomb’ Biden.

 

EXPECT MORE OF THE SAME... ONLY DIFFERENT

One era of terminal division in North America is ending.

Another is about to begin.

Biden’s call for unity after four years of vindictive demonization is a totally hollow statement from a totally hollow man. It will fall on deaf ears as it should.

Trump introduced the open political lie after countless years of similar lies couched in phrases designed to ring true.

Biden will now revert to the earlier sophistry that allowed wars to be fought and hundreds of thousands killed based on those lies, lies that gained the USA impunity from any charges of crimes against humanity, despite their full exposure to view.

Biden will assume the same semantic mantle taken by Trump’s Pompeo: “The USA is back and we will never leave you alone again.” Not that anyone had noticed the USA’s disappearance from the international scene. Only the disappearance of those many family members blown to bloody little pieces by that same USA.

Biden will talk in highly elevated terms of the USA’s “mission”, to save western values, to insist upon democracy and all the freedoms the people of ‘The West’ are so grateful for and which must be preserved against all freedom’s “enemies”. It will sound very high falutin’ but it will all be lies. The true motivation behind all his fine worlds will be the retention of North America’s “interests” and you know what is meant by that, its profitable interests, its guaranteed wealth... in short, it’s all about economics, forget the rest of the high-flown rhetoric.

It has ALL been about maintaining the USA as top economic dog with predominant power to manipulate the global economy for its own self-interest. Every destroyed family, village, town, city and nation was obliterated just so those in North America could grow increasingly fat, unhealthy and be assured they could do so with no threat of any decrease in their abilities to do so.

Meanwhile the internecine war to see who will be top dog among the global top dogs went on, getting dirtier and dirtier as time went on. Trump and his ilk against Obama. Clinton and her ilk against Trump. And now it will again be Trump and his ilk against Biden.

Why not impeach Biden from the get go over his son’s obvious corruption regarding Ukraine and his father’s obvious involvement?

Why not continue to attack Biden for four entire years on how his people stole the presidential election just as they said Trump did with Russian connivance?

Talk of unifying Americans is just so much hot (and putrid) political air, utterly meaningless and totally redundant after the tortuous four years of infinitely abusive political rough-housing just ended. But it does signify the total cynicism to come. I predict Biden’s time will mirror every obnoxious period of humanity known when all that was false claimed to be all that was holy.

Do you think everything is going to change? Do you expect ANYTHING is going to change?

Think again.

It will be just the same... only different.
