The rapid descent of the nation, the system and the planet under
the domain of private-profit-first capitalism continues with
opposition growing but still far too much acceptance that only
agrees to new employees at the level of state rule who represent
the same class interests but in more polite forms.
This means some benefits for some groups but always at far
more cost to others.
Affirmative Action to mention only one program created to
supposedly amend some of racism’s worst social malevolence
towards a minority, did far more to advance women, who
represent a majority, while bringing growth to the black middle
and upper middle classes, but even greater growth in black
poverty and a massive increase in black prisoners crowding
America’s penal colony.
A profit for some always entails a loss for others and as long
as this system prevails, so will that rule.
A Trump regime more feared by Republican Party wealth than
Democratic Party wealth feared Bernie Sanders is holding true
to those fears in that it might rush the empire to ruin even faster
than what was inevitable anyway.
While Trump has some tendencies that put him left of what under
current perverse standards, passes for liberal, his inability to
maintain a position from the start of a sentence to the end is most
feared by the ruling class, which is why its liberal sect-cult has
been moving towards impeachment since the day before his
inauguration while the conservative-cult-sect has seen to it that
he is surrounded by dunderheads and murderers who make him
seem almost thoughtful by comparison.
As his administration’s policies, not always his, help bring Russia,
China and really the rest of the world closer together both in
immediate fear and long-term hope, the American people have to
understand that we are part of that group and act that way rather
than continue performing as humanity’s self-chosen rulers.
We are fast approaching a point at which not just future
generational threats are forecast but those in which tomorrow
morning could bring on a colossal blunder that creates a war
beyond anything even the brain-dead and morals-free who
cause it might have imagined.
The present crisis with Iran is simply the long term Israeli occupied
American government policy writ larger, more dangerously and if
possible, even dumber than in the past.
But this closely follows the near destruction of Venezuela which
has failed but at critical cost to that nation, suffering along with
too many others the death rattle abuse of an imperial power which
still rules for the moment only as a result of being able to kill more
people more quickly than any other nation.
That awesome and ugly power is fading too, but hoping that
it will happen soon enough isn’t enough.
The American people will have to bring about radical change,
a transformation here that will greatly aid in the transformation
of the globe into a community of cooperation, peace and social
justice, to replace the bloody animosity and injustice so long
accepted as reality.
Present trends are hopeful only under continued lesser evilism that
enables voters to select leaders appealing to minority identity
groups and performing beneficially for them while still aiding and
abetting the system that will create a few more billionaires, but far
more poverty, war, and far less humanity, the longer it is tolerated.
Continued stress on individual villains posing as leaders and
minorities disguising humanity as special identity groups is
the divide and conquer strategy of our rulers.
If there is a single individual that warrants any attention beyond
that of the human race, at least for the moment, it should be
Julian Assange, whose persecution and suffering after performing
as a heroic servant of the people is a disgrace to supposed if yet
unrealized democracy.
The future of a truly informed public able to act with full
knowledge of what rulers are actually doing, after generations of
living in forced atmospheres of propaganda passing for material
reality, is under greater threat than ever.
Assange, and one of his prime sources, Manning, are imprisoned
by social forces that represent a menace to the human race and
by individuals in leadership among that force who have pond scum
between their ears and pus running through their veins.
These are the creatures who can rule that foreign nations must bow
to the imperium or be destroyed because it knows best, is best, and
represents future freedom and democracy, even if present slavery,
mass murder and authoritarianism are its most important tools.
These are the paid servants who report (?) and comment on reality
as stenographers to power and call it “journalism” and “punditry”.
And they are a tiny minority of the human race, running the
nations, the people and the planet into the ground at an ever-faster
pace, while we are distracted by false consciousness beyond
the imagination of past social critics who invented that term.
Showing his contrasting skills, among them the negative of acting
like an oaf with a nuclear weapon in his hand but the positive of
at times being a crystal clear communicator, the ego-maniac in
the White House has popularized the term, “Fake News” instantly
understood by just about everyone as describing the political
establishment, corporate media and those holding power over the
means of communication.
That power is now fading as well, by what is still anti-social,
but has great possibilities of becoming truly social media.
At present it is still a market tool to make some richer at the
expense of consumers, but Assange and Manning are prime
examples of what it can mean in truly spreading information
to the people and not just the latest product for sale or
celebrity to admire or paid politician to vote for.
While the issues of climate and atmospheric plague, threats of
more war, greater poverty, and approaching capitalist bankruptcy
must be confronted and dealt with for the longer term, the short
term threat to Assange and Manning is a crisis for not just them
but for humanity and any possibility of opening the books and files
to reveal real rather than fake news.
Freeing them is far more important than simply getting rid of
Trump.
Not just for them and the American people, but for what that
will say about America to the people of the world.
