The Screams Of A Dying Empire: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article:

Ana Kasparians infamous Young Turks tantrum about Aaron Mate was the screams of a dying empire.

In this insane and libelous clip, cenkuygur & AnaKasparian say that I am "paid by the Russians" (Cenk); "seem to be working for" dictators (Ana); and deny chemical attacks on Syrian children (Ana). I do not care about their disdain for me, but I do care about being smeared.-Aaron Maté (aaronjmate) May 27, 2021

Some want to dismantle the imperial slaughter machine and create a harmonious world; others just want the imperial slaughter machine to give them healthcare. These are two entirely different positions. It is not strange that these factions feud-it would be strange if they did not.

United States progressives who smear The Grayzone and other anti-imperialist media never have any other equally anti-imperialist media that they promote and uphold as good. This is because they are imperialists.

The only way to do actual foreign policy journalism in the western world is to make a conscious decision to tell the truth without being bullied into accepting any unproven United States narrative, no matter how badly they smear you and no matter how hard it is to find work and make a living.

United States liberals are orders of magnitude more outraged about a small group of wingnuts making people nervous in the Capitol building for a few hours than they are about the fact that their government is constantly murdering people around the world.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) May 30, 2021

The blame for public distrust in government and media institutions rests solely on those government and media institutions.

Most westerners know that George Bush and his allies destroyed Iraq, while hardly any westerners know Barack Obama and his allies destroyed Syria.

That right there tells you why we have not seen any full-scale United States ground invasions lately. The United States of Americas solution to the Public Relations crisis caused by the horrific consequences of its military interventionism has been to switch to preferencing sanctions, blockades, and proxy wars where violence is outsourced to other powers so the United States does not take the blame.

Syria is a perfect example of this new model of imperialist slaughter.

The United States power alliance absolutely demolished that country by arming jihadist proxy forces and then sanctioning the hell out of it to keep it from rebuilding, all with the goal of eventually toppling Damascus, but the general public is completely unaware of this.

And make no mistake, good Public Relations is absolutely essential to the operation of the empire. They do not pour that much energy into manufacturing consent because it is fun, they do it because they have to.

You can not rule a managed democracy without good perception management.

The need to avoid bad Public Relations fallouts is why George Bush-era "Hulk smash" ground invasions are largely a thing of the past. It is also why the United States empire now has a secretary of state who vocally supports the new model of subtler imperialist butchery:

Nominee to lead State Department Tony Blinken recently explained that President Bidens pledge to "end the forever wars" means the United States will reduce large-scale deployments while expanding secret wars waged by special forces and proxies.

Donald Trump supporters act like it is something special that their guy "started no new wars", but the fact that he did not has nothing to do with Donald Trump himself; it is just the new model of imperialist butchery to favor sanctions and proxy conflicts instead, which Donald Trump absolutely did.

Bibi Netanyahus right-wing thuggishness causing a Public Relations nightmare for Israel is a good example of why the United States-centralized power alliance increasingly prefers liberal manipulators to head many of its "democracies". An Israeli Barack Obama would not have lost control of the narrative like that.

There is just not enough public support for wingnuts for them to operate as effective stewards of empire in the western world anymore.

That is why so many oligarchs and imperialists disliked Donald Trump; not because they disagreed with him on any important policies (they did not), but because he sucked at perception management.

This Turkish-made weapon "hunted down a human target last year" in Libya and "attacked them without being specifically ordered to". The empire collapses nations like Libya and then tests out freaky new weapons on the inhabitants in the chaotic wild west environment they created.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) May 29, 2021

The United States empire only recently started ramping up aggressions against China because while Chinas economy is doing well, its military nowhere near rivals the empires, and that is the real currency. If your neighbor has $100 and you have $100 plus a gun, then you actually have $200.

If you are having trouble interpreting a particular Bible verse, it is because the correct interpretation is "This is an ancient document authored by confused men whose words have no relevance to my own experience."

History is one long string of horrific atrocities with the dominant religious institutions of the time either doing nothing or actively participating.
