Mission Accomplished

- It took America 15 years to
airlift its whipped, arrogant ass out of
Vietnam; in Afghanistan it took 20. All the
young men and women our diseased, criminal
“leaders” doomed to be killed, mangled, or
commit suicide in or after those fake,
bullshit “wars” were, in effect, shit-canned
by them like rotten meat. Trillions
that should have educated, inspired,
and nurtured them were wasted and stolen by
our rabid, raping Capitalist War Machine.
After 20 years of blustering,
pious deception, colluded in by the
hillbilly ninnies laughingly referred to as
our government, led by four despicable
Presidents—as contemptible a set of moral
and spiritual monsters as could be dredged
up from the foetid latrines of history—this
hideous charade can be seen for what it was:
a brazen scam to engorge our Death Merchants
with blood money.
The coprophagous Corporate
Press and its petting zoo of hired political
porn stars rage against ersatz villains in
this Bozo pratfall of America’s Potemkin
regime, imported, installed and bankrolled
by this unraveling empire in its last
pathetic shot at a grotesque simulation of
world hegemony.
One is in awe at the
spectacle of the blackguard war pimps who
stampeded this simple-minded, helpless
country into these exercises in folk murder,
pointing fingers and anathematizing anyone
but themselves, disgusting human sepsis that
they are.
The only indisputable truth
about the Afghan debacle is that the U.S.
War Machine and its wholly-owned Congress
and Press, hyped fear and outrage at 9/11 to
spin the mythical GWOT and two decades of
limitless profiteering using the brutal
destruction of a poor, defenseless country
as a weapons-testing experiment.

Whether that country could be dominated and pacified, much less remade, had no relevance in their calculus. Outcomes in their pretend “wars” mean nothing: what matters is that the Federal money spigot be jammed wide open and massive profits from their death devices never end. Schopenhauer nailed the war industry a century ago: “Created by the wars that required it, the machine now creates the wars it requires”.
Under American assault,
Afghanistan and its people who survive, have
suffered a devastation of historic
proportions, comparable to massacres The
Empire inflicted on Cuba and the Philippines
in its early days. Nothing can ever alter
this villainy, another bloody stain smeared
on our long, rabid history. Curiously,
though, in a twist of historical irony, The
Empire has undoubtedly wounded itself more
grievously than it did Afghanistan.
The fact is that after a long
chain of blundering, idiotic policy
trainwrecks and staggeringly stupid military
humiliations—all acts of blatant piracy for
the War Machine—The Empire, far from
cementing its hold on its craven lapdogs,
Britain, Australia, and NATO, is now
regarded by the world as an unhinged,
imbecile giant without brains, ethics,
honor, or even any sense of
self-preservation. Nations, universally,
stare at us with the kind of bated-breath
foreboding that would be felt watching an
untethered lunatic venture across Zambesi
Gorge on a tightrope.
When the sheer, brute madness
and psychotic hubris of a tyrannical regime
deceives its people into mortal peril, as
the U.S. government has, the inevitable end
is overthrow or implosion. Empires fall
from their fatal morbid pathology, without
exception.
When an entire people is
aroused and mobilized against its its
tyrants, elites, or aristocrats, there is
blood in the streets. In the French
Revolution, mass rage exploded in
indiscriminate murder of the nobility. Such
raging mayhem is not even conceivable to us
now, and never was. Even the rising of
Americans in rebellion against their ruling
Capitalist War Machine is unimaginable. We
are stupefied by propaganda into blind,
autonomic obedience. Disaster, when it
comes, will be horribly mishandled, as all
else has been, by our Capitalist criminals
and their political whores.
And yet, even given their
dull passivity and refusal to face their
reality, it amazes Americans tolerate living
under this ridiculous, contemptible gang of
baldfaced liars, dimwit conmen, and
black-hearted slugs: McConnell and Pelosi,
Schumer and McCarthy, Mancin and Cruz, and
their vomitus ilk. Sure, money buys the
commercials that are all the deeply stupid
absorb, but even the densest must smell the
decayed mummies behind the masks.
These odious moral thugs, who
sold America on vengeful, phony “wars”, now
join their chorus of shameless flacks,
grasping wildly at any alibi for their
cowardice and folly. They bayed for revenge
and blood, dodging their duty to check the
imbecile, Bush, Jr., and his psychically
twisted Igor, Cheney, cheered shape-shifting
bullshitter Obama, subhuman Trump, and now
drub vacuous, impaired Biden for blundering
into the only inevitable endgame.
The chaos and dislocation at
the end of empires has always been
commensurate with their magnitude, reach and
duration. The French inflamed Europe; the
Spanish and British dislocated the Western
financial system; the Nazi and Russian
destabilized the world and brought agony and
death to hundreds of millions.
The fall of Imperial America,
while certain, cannot be predicted as to
mode and method. It may come in a series of
our floundering, catastrophic military
idiocies—though upping the ante against
Russia and/or China will put a swift,
devastating end to that process—or in a
climax of economic spasms leading to flight
from the dollar as reserve currency and
national bankruptcy. What is certain is
that it will be the most cataclysmic
disruption the world has ever suffered.
Empires, as the terminally ill, cannot
self-rescue. They die devoured by their own
inherent horrors.
