The United States Empire Is Evil And You Should Want It To Fail: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article:

To rule the world, make it rely on a single dominant financial system you control so anyone who disobeys you can be cut off from the economy you have made them dependent on for survival-whether they are a nation, a protest movement, or an individual-without having to fire a shot.

I do not "support dictators", as one will inevitably be accused of doing whenever scrutinizing imperial propaganda narratives. I do however always hope the United States fails to accomplish its objectives against every government that it targets, because the United States is far and away the single most tyrannical regime on this planet.

I do not support tyranny, I oppose it. It just happens that the major force of tyranny in this world is not where the TV tells you it is.

No other regime has spent the 21st century slaughtering people by the millions in wars of aggression.

No other regime is circling the planet with hundreds of military bases.

No other regime works to destroy any nation which disobeys it using starvation sanctions, war and terror.

Only the United States-centralized empire does this. While supporting most of the worlds dictators.

Anyone who talks about the Ukraine situation like it is just President Putin being evil, while ignoring the actions of the United States and NATO which got us here, is a disinformation agent.

You just do not find this information anywhere in mainstream news and punditry, so you do not find it anywhere in mainstream discourse either.

It is just "PUTIN EVIL HITLER RAHHHH!" It should really be common sense by now that when the entire western political-media class starts screaming that a government is acting like an evil supervillain you are probably being propagandized, but most people are still swallowing it hook, line and sinker.

This is really and truly as deep as most western analysis of this situation goes:

Why would President Putin want to invade Ukraine??
-Because he wants democracy to fail, and not just in Ukraine-Anne Applebaum (anneapplebaum) February 11, 2022

The onus is not on anyone else to prove that United States claims about Russian operations are false, the onus is on the United States to prove that they are true. The burden of proof does not magically disappear just because some pundits and politicians said something in an assertive tone.

Still can not get over how the liberal media spent years yelling about Donald Trump Nazis and then immediately turned around and started doing Public Relations segments for actual Nazis.

Boy I have not been called a Kremlin propagandist this much since like 2018. Thing is, everything I was saying about western Russia narratives in 2018 has since been completely vindicated.

It is not that the United States elects incompetent leaders who make bad decisions that kill millions of people with warfare, it is that the global United States empire is held together with military violence and the threat thereof. It is an intrinsically evil institution and you should always oppose it.

It is not that the United States government has done evil, it is that the United States government is itself evil.

The very way it has set itself up to operate in the world necessarily means it must exert endless violence and oppression to keep populations functioning in its interests. That is extremely evil.

The Mafia has not happened to make bad decisions throughout its history that resulted in the unfortunate demise of certain individuals, it is an institution explicitly set up to reap profits by exerting and threatening violent force. The United States empire is exactly the same. Same evil.

It is not that the United States of American people keep accidentally electing warmongering thugs, anymore than it is an accident that the Mafia is always led by men who are willing to bully and kill. The United States empire is an intrinsically thuggish and violent institution, and needs that kind of leader.

The United States empire is just a rich mans mafia. And you should want it gone for the exact same reason you do not want your neighborhood to be tyrannized by violent mobsters.

The best critics of empire propaganda are mostly just people who went to journalism school and simply remember what they were taught about how journalism is supposed to look.

Their commentary is usually nothing more than pointing out all the mass media lapses in basic journalistic ethics. It is just kind of where you naturally wind up if you keep your attention on journalism without letting the pressures of the machine squeeze you into forgetting what you know about what it is supposed to be.

One of the main things I do here is try to help articulate the scope of the horrors of the empire.

Because we are in it, and it is so aggressively normalized by the mass media, it becomes easy to overlook, like water for a fish. It is hard to really notice something you are marinating in all the time. Hard to see the horror with fresh eyes.

We have all the information we need to understand the horrific nature of the empire, it just gets obscured and distorted and spun by imperial narrative management, so people do not really see it clearly.

The challenge is not so much obtaining evidence of the depravity of the empire as helping people to really, truly see the evidence we already have.
