United States Officials Really, REALLY Want You To Know The United States Is The Worlds "Leader" by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article:
In response to questions he received during a press conference on Monday about Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin cementing a "new era" in strategic partnership between China and Russia, the White House National Security Councils John Kirby made no fewer than seven assertions that the United States is the "leader" of the world.
Here are excerpts from his comments:
-"The two countries have grown closer. But they are both countries that chafe and bristle at United States leadership around the world."
-"And in Chinas case in particular, they certainly would like to challenge United States leadership around the world."
-"But these are not two countries that have, you know, decades-long experience working together and full trust and confidence. It is a burgeoning of late based on Americas increasing leadership around the world and trying to check that."
-"Peter, these are two countries that have long chafed, as I said to Jeff - long chafed at United States leadership around the world and the network of alliances and partnerships that we have."
-"And we work on those relationships one at a time, because every country on the continent is different, has different needs and different expectations of American leadership."
-“That is the power of American convening leadership. And you do not see that power out of either Russia or China."
-"But one of the reasons why you are seeing that tightening relationship is because they recognize that they do not have that strong foundation of international support for what they are trying to do, which is basically challenge United States of American leadership around the world."
John Kirby really wants everyone to know that the United States of America is in charge of the world. This is from one single press conference.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) March 21, 2023
The illusory truth effect is a cognitive bias which causes people to mistake something they have heard many times for an established fact, because the way the human brain receives and interprets information tends to draw little or no distinction between repetition and truth.
Propagandists and empire managers often take advantage of this glitch in our wetware, which is what is happening when you see them repeating key phrases over and over again that they want people to believe.
We saw another repetition of this line recently at an online conference hosted by the United States Chamber of Commerce, in which the United States ambassador to China asserted that Beijing must accept the United States as the "leader" of the region China happens to occupy.
United States empire managers are of course getting very assertive about the narrative that they are the worlds "leader" because that self-appointed "leadership" is being challenged by China, and the nations which support it with increasing openness like Russia. Most of the major international news stories of our day are either directly or indirectly related to this dynamic, wherein the United States is struggling to secure unipolar planetary domination by thwarting Chinas rise and undermining its partners.
The message they are putting out is, "This is our world. We are in charge. Anyone who claims otherwise is freakish and abnormal, and must be opposed."

The way United States empire managers talk about "leading" ostensibly sovereign states with ostensibly independent governments shows you they really do think they own the world.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) March 2, 2023
Why do they say the United States is the "leader" of the world instead of its "ruler", anyway??
I am unclear on the difference as practically applied. Is it meant to give us the impression that the United States rules the world by democratic vote?
That this is something the rest of the world consented to?
Because I sure as hell do not remember voting for it, and we have all seen what happens to governments which do not comply with United States "leadership".
I am not one of those who believe a multipolar world will be a wonderful thing, I just recognize that it beats the hell out of the alternative, that being increasingly reckless nuclear brinkmanship to maintain global control.
The United States has been in charge long enough to make it clear that the world order it dominates can only be maintained by nonstop violence and aggression, with more and more of that violence and aggression being directed toward major nuclear-armed powers. The facts are in and the case is closed: United States unipolar hegemony is unsustainable!!
The problem is that the United States empire itself does not know this.
This horrifying trajectory we are on toward an Atomic Age world war is the result of the empires doctrine that it must maintain unipolar control at all costs crashing into the rise of a multipolar world order.
It does not need to be this way.
There is no valid reason why the United States needs to remain in charge of the world and can not just let different people in different regions sort out their own affairs like they always did before.
There is no valid reason why governments need to be brandishing armageddon weapons at each other instead of collaborating peacefully in the interest of all humankind.
We are being pushed toward disaster to preserve "United States of American leadership around the world," and I for one do not consent to this!!!
