Homer_Rice Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 Controversial, but tasty bit from above piece. Quote With the wisdom of hindsight, the full-throated (and batshit crazy) response of officialdom to the election of Donald Trump emerged over irritation that electoral politics was interfering with the policies of the permanent government. Neocon-neoliberal warmongers are now called ‘liberal imperialists’ because they espouse woke principles as they bomb the peoples of ‘competing’ nations into tiny pieces. However, as the results of the Pew poll suggest, the public has lost political interest in policies that benefit oligarchs and corporate executives alone. This result pits the institutions of the Federal government against the political will of the American people. This latter point is important to understand. Russiagate was the American foreign policy establishment’s response to ‘interference’ from the duly elected president of the United States. Mr. Trump and the half of voters who voted for him likely believed that the President, in consultation with Congress, determines American foreign policy. Well, Russiagate was a case of the CIA, FBI, and the NSA disrespectfully disagreeing that the President has any say in US foreign policy unless it supports the CIA’s position. Biden has been a craven tool of the CIA for most of his time in Congress. This latter point is important to understand. If elections don’t result in a transfer of power due to interference from the permanent state, the form of American governance is authoritarian. Via the convergence of corporate with permanent state institutions, the US already has fascistic form. Through the ascendance of this permanent government that is unanswerable to the polity as it unilaterally launches imperial wars, the US moves to full-blown fascism. If you want to see American fascist atrocities, look at the consequences of US foreign policy since capital has been placed in a position to control the American state. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they need is $10 a gallon gasoline and most people won't have a choice. Americans will be the easiest ones to get to enforce it on themselves. Just like how the covid vaccinated turned against the un vaccinated and started talking crazy shit like quarantine camps and forced inoculations. America will be the easiest because its citizens are the most clueless and the laziest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus 10 dollars a gallon would mean that there is basically no oil left and we are in the middle of WW3. Not likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford has made record profits and received billions in stimulus from the government, so they can increase the wages of the people who actually do the work to make the products that make the company profitable.

T-Dub Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 Quote The public has lost political interest in policies that benefit oligarchs and corporate executives alone. This result pits the institutions of the Federal government against the political will of the American people. Think this is pretty accurate. IDK how many people would define it that way but it's happening in a bunch of different ways at once with people supporting one side or the other depending on the issue. Banning abortion or banning assault weapons are both ultimately issues of government control. Quote Russiagate was a case of the CIA, FBI, and the NSA disrespectfully disagreeing that the President has any say in US foreign policy unless it supports the CIA’s position. Biden has been a craven tool of the CIA for most of his time in Congress. Say this not as a defense of Biden by any stretch because I agree with the "craven tool" accusation, and not just for the CIA, but "Russiagate" wasn't just a policy dispute. This woman was in court while Trump was tweeting about the lack of a "smocking gun". Fun choice of words considering the NRA involvement. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/russian-national-charged-conspiracy-act-agent-russian-federation-within-united-states Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
