Don't Bother... They're Here

When
empires begin to die, their public acts--in
sharp contrast to the ponderous, stately
sobriety of their behavior while
ascendant--tend to be marked by queer and
pathetic eruptions of idiocy, bathos, and
mania.
Though it can’t be known when our last
Imperial Clown will douse the last lights of
The Exceptional Empire and drop the keys in
the mailbox for the last failed
bank--America is showing clear signs of
approaching meltdown.
In Rome, one dingy Caesar burlesqued as a
gladiator, then went on stage in drag to
warble of nymphs and fauns, and made his
horse a senator.
At Tsarist Russia’s end, the Imperials ran
their bloody circus on the whims of a
drunken, deranged sociopath repeatedly
arrested for public indecency.
Hitler egomaniacally wasted his mighty
wehrmacht against Russian winter, then as
his Reich exploded and burnt around him, had
his gofer shoot him.
The American Empire, enmeshed and
floundering in a smothering net of
contradictions, deceptions, and disastrous
choices, is now playing out a pathetic
absurdist farce before a fascinated and
astonished world.
The essence of it is this. Due to prolonged
betrayal of working people by the Democratic
Party over many decades, the blatantly
falsity and obvious deception it peddled so
hard and so long to keep them in thrall have
at last lost their grip. The result was loss
of the Presidential election in 2016.
Stunned and unable to swallow the undeniable
reason for it, the desperate party
leadership concocted a preposterous,
threadbare fantasy narrative to deny
responsibility and direct shame, blame and
disgrace away from itself.
The obvious best target was Trump, since so
many good people detest him for so many good
reasons. It would not suffice, though, to
attack him as a legitimate opponent because
that would mean the electorate, left to
itself, had made this awful choice.
Unthinkable, even for the half of it Hillary
had deplored. No, there had to be a
nefarious agent that hoodwinked naive voters
and diabolically stage-managed this vile and
treasonous outcome.
Since the entrenched, master apparatus of
America--the Deep State--has, as its main
object, the care and feeding of its
Militarist, Imperialist agenda, and since
the Democratic Party has become its official
voice, it was clear long before the election
that Russia and Putin were the enemy of
choice.
When Wikileaks released communications
proving collusion of the DNC and Clinton
campaign to torpedo Sanders, it was
immediately and loudly proclaimed to be the
work of Russian hackers bent not on exposing
the DNC’s dirt to the public, but on
wickedly subverting American democracy.
Putting aside the fact that America has no
democracy, and never has had, the DNC
honchos finessed their treachery while
raging at their putative hijacking by
enemies of America. In other words, the
crime was not the fact of gross DNC
misfeasance, but the horror that it was
exposed by evildoers.

Never Miss Another Story |
Once an executive decision was made by the
Democratic Politburo that Russia and
demonized Putin were behind this
“hack”--subsequently proven technically
impossible; only doable in-house by
physically copying the files--a giant cloud
of disinformation had to be generated to
support the lie.
It was done. Yet, for all the intemperate
rhetoric grounded in supposition, inference,
and innuendo, supercharged with Pearl Harbor
comparisons and amplified endlessly by the
establishment press their effort has not, in
over a year, produced a scintilla of
evidence of Trump/Russia collusion for
political ends, and has failed utterly to
crucify him as Putin’s crony, pawn and
agent.
Financial corruption? Why, yes, plenty, by
Trump unsavories, but that was never the
issue. The Dems rap was treasonous collusion
and that, we are asked to believe, was to be
accomplished by a bumbling gaggle of
half-assed, amateur, cheapo, free-lancing
Russian troll shops who bought some
squirelly ads on Facebook. This was the
great Trump/Putin plan to subvert our state?
God help us! And yet it’s the basis of the
Mueller indictments that James Kunstler
quickly dubbed “13 Russians and a Ham
Sandwich”.
The lunacy of this futile and fatuous
greased pig chase is only equaled by the
determination of the Democratic Party to
continue to inflict it on itself.
