No Matter Who Wins, The War Machine Wins by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

The United States government is pushing yet another unproven election meddling narrative about yet another disobedient government, this time targeting Iran and Russia.

This is exhausting. Do I really need to type this bullshit out?

Fine. Okay. Here we go again:

At a press conference with Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and FBI Director Christopher Wray it was announced that Iran and Russia have separately obtained some voter registration information, and that Iran has been using its information to send bizarre threatening emails to Democratic voters with the goal of swaying the election.

As usual, no evidence of these allegations has been provided. Democrats are saying this completely unsubstantiated claim proves the Iranians want to help Donald Trump, Republicans are saying it proves they are trying to help Joe Biden.

Both are ridiculous.

Here is the Reuters story on todays hastily convened press conference blaming Iran for the "Proud Boys" email threats.

I note these paragraphs in particular:-Raphael Satter October 22, 2020

The Reuters write-up on the allegations cites one source who says it is unclear who was actually behind the threatening emails, and that "the evidence remains inconclusive" that Iran had anything to do with them.

Washington Posts report notes that the allegation against Iran "was leveled without specific evidence", and that metadata gathered from the emails points to "the use of servers in Saudi Arabia, Estonia, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates, according to numerous analysts."

No attempt is made to address this discrepancy.

If the United States government held a press conference announcing that Iran is in the Middle East I would have to check a map just to make sure it is not an island in the South Pacific or something, that is how much constant, shameless lying they have been doing about that nation lately.

There is no reason whatsoever to believe unproven assertions by opaque government agencies who have an extensive and well-documented history of lying about governments they want to target.

This latest allegation adds to the steadily increasing pile of narratives the United States intelligence cartel has been heaping onto public consciousness that no matter who wins the presidential election, a foreign enemy will have been partially responsible for it.

The ODNI made an announcement in August that Russia is interfering to ensure Donald Trumps re-election while China and Iran are interfering in favor of Joe Biden.

What this steadily-growing narrative means is that no matter who wins this election, the United States of Americas spies and cold warriors are going to be able to use it to advance their pre-planned agendas against the worlds few remaining nations which have resisted absorption into the United States-centralized power alliance.

In exactly the same way they have been able to use Russiagate to advance pre-planned cold war escalations against Russia during the Donald Trump administration, they are ensuring their ability to roll out pre-planned escalations against Iran and China in the event of a Joe Biden win.

Imagine for example if Joe Biden gets in after the United States intelligence cartel has successfully marketed the narrative to click-hungry media outlets that Iran has been meddling on his behalf.

What kinds of political pressure will his administration be placed under if it wants to restore the Iran deal and begin rolling back sanctions and de-escalating tensions? Probably very similar to the pressures Donald Trump was placed under to continually advance hawkish cold war escalations against Russia despite his stated desire for Washington and Moscow to get along.

You can understand the purpose all these "election meddling" narratives are serving if you can understand two points: firstly, that we are in the middle of a slow-motion third world war between the United States-centralized empire and the remaining nations which have resisted being absorbed into it.

Secondly, that this war is moved along by propaganda.

Point 1: We are in the middle of a slow-motion third world war between the US-centralized power alliance and the nations which have resisted being absorbed into it.

A loose alliance of nationless oligarchs who use governments as weapons have secured control over a large empire-like cluster of nations with economic and military might loosely centralized around the United States.

In order to gain more power and ensure its ongoing hegemony, this oligarchic empire must keep expanding by absorbing more nations and brutalizing them if they resist. China is by far the most powerful of the unabsorbed nations, followed by Russia at a distant second and Iran at a distant third.

Nuclear weapons make another hot world war undesirable, so this one takes the form of resource control, economic warfare, staging coups, arming oppositional militias to use as proxy armies, expanding military presence in key geostrategic regions under the pretense of fighting terrorism, and "humanitarian interventionism", with old-school full-scale ground invasions used only as a last resort, and only after manufacturing sufficient international approval to ensure the continued cohesion of the empire-like power alliance.

But the end goal is the same as that of a conventional world war: to beat the other side into submission and compliance. And, in this case, absorption into the imperial blob.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, the prevailing orthodoxy in United States power structures became that the United States must maintain unipolar hegemony at all cost to maintain a "liberal world order" (even if it means abandoning "liberal" values whenever it is convenient). From that point on the agenda has been global domination and the slow, suffocating subversion of anyone who gets in the way.

Point 2: Propaganda is used to move this world war along.

In a conventional war each side has clear military objectives that everyone understands, and the weapons are naturally moved around in accordance with these objectives.

In this weird slow-motion world war, nobody understands what is going on besides the major power players and those who are paying very close attention.

The various agendas against the governments of Iran, Venezuela, Russia, Syria, China etc appear different and unrelated when looked at individually, and indeed you will see different political factions supporting some of these agendas but not others.

The only thing unifying this slow-motion movement toward the destruction and absorption of all unabsorbed nations is carefully constructed propaganda narratives.

The way these unifying propaganda narratives operate is simple. It would never occur to rank-and-file citizens that a nation on the other side of the planet that is pretty much just doing its own thing needs to be sanctioned, subverted and brought to heel, so the imperialist oligarchs who own the political-media class make sure everyone is fed custom-made narratives according to their own ideological echo chamber to prevent any domestic inertia from being thrown on these agendas.

Once there is sufficient agreement that Saddam-Gaddafi-Morales-Assad-Maduro-whomever must go, the campaign to subvert, sabotage and absorb that government can safely be escalated.

If you can understand points one and two, you can understand why United States government agencies are advancing the narrative that unabsorbed governments are attacking the United States in a completely invisible yet extremely outrageous way.

Donald Trump opposed sanctioning Chinas government over its atrocious human rights violations to protect his hollow trade deal and serve his own personal interests.

Where Donald Trump has been weak, I will be strong, clear, and consistent in standing up for Americas values and its people.-Joe Biden June 22, 2020

Over the last couple of weeks I have been getting more and more brainwashed Donald Trump supporters in my comments saying with high confidence that Joe Biden is bought and owned by China.

This would be the same Joe Biden who saw an extreme escalation in aggression against China in the Obama administrations "pivot to Asia", and whose anti–Beijing campaign rhetoric gives every indication that he intends to continue that aggression when elected.

If he does not, we may be certain that the United States intelligence cartel will magically discover some top secret evidence nobody is allowed to see that the rise of China needs to be stopped.

Only a blithering idiot would believe that this lifelong warmonger is going to be soft on China despite the mountain of evidence to the contrary.

These Trumpists spent years rightly mocking liberals for their maniacal Russia hysteria, yet their rhetoric about Joe Biden and China sounds very much like the pre-election low rumble which eventually turned into the fever pitch demented shrieking of peak Russiagate insanity.

If Joe Biden wins the election it would not at all surprise me if evidence keeps being leaked to the press from anonymous sources painting Joe Biden as a Xi puppet, and Republican hacks promulgate that narrative to demand increasing aggression against China.

So no matter who wins, the war machine wins.

If it is Donald Trump then they continue manufacturing narratives to justify escalations against Russia, if it is Joe Biden (as looks very likely) they will sell escalations against China and Iran.

They are in no special hurry since they have got power on their side, so they can just keep ramping up the pressure on the world like a python squeezing its prey to death.

Meanwhile normal, healthy human beings just want a world where people cooperate with each other and with their ecosystem to create a harmonious world.

We do not have to put up with a world that is dominated by sociopaths who endanger us all with armageddon weapons with the goal of planetary hegemony.

There are more of us than there are of them.

If we wake up to what is going on we can absolutely turn this thing around.
