The Biggest Lie The Hawks Ever Sold: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article:

The United States is the only nation on earth whose entire economy is built on arms manufacturing and security guarantees to tyrannical Gulf states. It is not just correct to call the United States empire a uniquely evil power structure, it is correct to say it is impossible for it not to be.

Saudi Arabias destruction of Yemen and proxy warfare in Syria are many thousands of times more evil and horrific than the assassination of one Washington Post columnist, but because the empire is built on that kind of bloodshed it gets far less attention.

President Biden continuing the unbroken presidential tradition of courting the Saudis is not a betrayal of United States values but a very normal expression of them. You either want the complete dismantlement of the United States empire or you do not. If you do not, quit bitching about how the sausage gets made.

New meme template just dropped.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) July 16, 2022

The difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Republicans say they will do evil things and then do evil things, while Democrats say they will not do evil things and then do evil things.

On one hand polls say United States of Americans do not want Joe Biden to run again, but on the other hand there is zero chance Democrats put forward a different candidate who is better than the rotbrained empire mummy.

Friendly reminder that Russiagate was a psyop which had its origins in the United States intelligence cartel, was used to facilitate longstanding agendas of the United States intelligence cartel, is the reason liberals are now cheerleading the United States proxy war in Ukraine, and that only an idiot would call this a coincidence.

Anyone who still buys this schtick is a f-cking moron:

-19 year old "Zaporizhzhia Avenger" took down a Russian Su-25 plane with an Igla (Needle) man-portable-defense-system.

-This is his sixth plane, and he also took down a cruise missile.

-Superheroes do exist in real life.-Anton Gerashchenko (Gerashchenko_en) July 17, 2022

Current proxy warfare tactics in Ukraine have no chance of delivering a swift defeat to Russia. What they do have is a pretty good chance of creating a costly military quagmire for Russia and a 100 percent certainty of creating massive profits for the arms industry.

The biggest lie the hawks ever sold was that their militaristic policies prevent the problems they actually create. Militarizing against Russia caused this war. The war on terror created terror groups. Continuing the encirclement of China will likely lead to a nasty confrontation there. Etc.

Working to bring down Moscow and Beijing would be a great way to move toward securing unipolar planetary hegemony while simultaneously unleashing the kind of worldwide economic chaos and desperation that shock doctrine capitalism engineers have heretofore only ever dreamed of.

At the end of this clip Mr. John Bolton cites "classified information" as the reason he will not name the other United States coups he has helped orchestrate, calling to mind when Mr. Julian Assange said "The overwhelming majority of information is classified to protect political security, not national security":

The most important job of the western media right now is convincing the public that the worlds major powers splitting into two increasingly hostile alliances is probably nothing to worry about.

Celebrities "getting political" is not a problem in itself. The problem is that most of them do not start growing their political awareness until they are already famous, when they are informing their worldview from inside an elite echo chamber that has a vested interest in preserving the status quo.

Believing there are good billionaires is even dumber than believing there are good United States presidents, and believing there are good mainstream media pundits is even dumber than believing there are good billionaires.

The Guardian is the nastiest war propaganda rag in the world, and Simon Tisdall is the nastiest war propagandist at The Guardian.

Literally demanding the apocalypse.-Alan MacLeod (AlanRMacLeod) July 17, 2022

No one ever espouses a mainstream political worldview because they have thoroughly examined all the options and sincerely believe that one is the best.

It is always because they do not know other political worldviews exist, or are not sufficiently familiar with them, or have been propagandized into believing false things about them, or because they work in a career that is advanced by adhering to mainstream political perspectives.

This is true because mainstream political worldviews do not exist to help people and make good things happen, they exist to facilitate plutocracy and empire.

Nobody who deeply investigates their nature and contrasts them with alternatives comes away thinking they are the best, whether they are someone with left-wing or right-wing sympathies or anywhere in between.

The only reason mainstream politics are mainstream is because powerful manipulators pour a tremendous amount of wealth and energy into making them mainstream. If there were actually a "marketplace of ideas" on that front, mainstream politics would die.

The empire still fears the public. If it did not it would not bother rolling out so much propaganda ahead of all its depraved actions - it would just act. They work so hard to manufacture our consent because they are still afraid of what we will do to them if we decide we do not consent.

Just something I think is worth calling to mind once in a while.
