Peak Hubris

“Hubris” is
defined as rash and foolish pride, a
dangerous overconfidence, manifested
with arrogance. The Deep State
vaunts our “exceptionalism”, and
since Reagan’s “City on a Hill”
trope Americans have been assured by
all succeeding Presidents that ours
is the “indispensible nation”. The
word describes the way America
sells itself to the world, and has
for generations.
The yawning cognitive gap between
our nomenklatura’s relentless
self-promotion and its pathetic
history of botched, humiliating
failures in every single act of
Imperial overreach, demands
examination. Are we at Peak
Hubris? When exactly should the
hubris of a vicious, lying,
sloganeering criminal state be
identified as what it is, a cover
for unhinged stupidity?
Viz. the deranged, hysterical
Democratic Party, a subsidiary of
the Deep State, led--if that term
applies--by a geriatric clutch of
morally squalid throwbacks and
vacuous nonentities, which has its
Depends in a knot in the effort to
blame the entire debacle of recent
U.S. historic crime on the repulsive
Yahoo squatting in the White House.
As Einstein observed, all
explanations should be as simple as
possible...but no simpler.
Of all the villainies attributed to
Trump by Democrats and the Deep
State--the Power Elite,
Establishment, Ruling Clique,
Permanent Unelected Government--the
most egregious and only unforgivable
one, is that his gross and vulgar
bathos in Holy Office has exposed
and profoundly embarrassed them,
punching holes in their diligently
crafted image. The Masters of
Disaster can’t tolerate open
revelation of their evil, witness
the methodical crushing of a roster
of whistleblowers, among whom the
most damning and brutally handled
are Manning, Assange, and Snowden.
Two are jailed on bogus “charges” in
peril of their lives, and Snowden is
in exile, only free because the
vengeful engine of American
“justice” can’t nail him.
The three have exposed the hubris of
“Exceptional America” far more
substantively and damagingly than
any of Trump’s galumphing, butthead
blundering has done, and produced
damning indictments of its
despicable nature that assured their
dragooning. Their work has done
much more to trash and pulverize the
mythology of The Empire but the
operators of the propaganda machine
have managed to hide the vast bulk
of it from public awareness, a feat
they couldn’t manage with Trump’s
ranting, erratic, Pig-Town Jig
diplomacy, and his imbecile,
chunk-blowing Twitter yammer.
