BIDEN-HARRIS WRITE OFF AMERICANS IN LEBANON, & A LESSON IN U.S. 'DEMOCRACY' & HOW THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TREATS ITS BASE LIKE AN ABUSED SPOUSE

 

 

 

 

Some necessary explanatory notes, and a correction to what the woman panelist said.
Matt Miller is the chief U.S. State Department propagandist ("spokesman"), a completely immoral creature who covers for the U.S.-Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people, parrying questions, creating a fog of gaslighting. He's not even a human being, but an ANTI-human being.

Jamal Khashoggi was a Saudi who wrote op-ed columns for the Washington Post, a major media organ of the ruling class. Khashoggi occasionally criticized the Saudi dictatorship run by "Prince" Mohammed Salman. Salman found this intolerable, so Khashoggi was lured to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, in October 2018, where he was murdered, his body sawed into pieces, and the pieces smuggled out and made to vanish. After the Turkish government exposed this crime, there was a period where U.S. politicians waved their arms and waxed indignant, proclaiming the crime to be "unacceptable." Eventually the furor blew over. The Saudi dictator scapegoated some hapless government operatives and that was the end of it.

The woman on the panel attributes the U.S. abandonment of Americans under Israeli bombardment in Lebanon to the Biden regime being  "rudderless." That's not it. The reason is callousness for the victims.

The U.S. government has an ingrained habit of siding with Israel whenever it murders Americans. The reason is that the U.S. political system at the highest levels has been colonized by Israel through its fifth column in the U.S., which includes organizations like AIPAC, the ADL, Christian Zionists, with the establishment media long acting like they are Israeli propaganda mouthpieces.

The callousness of U.S. politicians and government for American victims of Israeli violence has a long history, going back to the attempted sinking of the U.S.S. Liberty in 1967, and even earlier to Israeli secret police bombing U.S. facilities in Egypt in the 1950's under "false flag" operations designed to lay the blame on Egyptians, and forward to the murder of Rachel Corrie, who was run over by an Israeli bulldozer when she tried to stop the demolition of a Palestinian family's home, the murder of a passenger on a relief convoy in international waters by Israeli commandos to stop it reaching Gaza, and the murder of star Al Jazeera reporter by an Israeli army sniper in May 2022, in Jenin, West Bank, Palestine. And just to show they had total impunity to murder journalists, two weeks later the Israelis murdered another journalist. They didn't have to wait for a scandal to blow over. They wanted to make it clear to reporters who covered their crimes that their lives could be snuffed out at any time with no consequences to Israel.

Here's the link to the episode of Sam Seder's "The Majority Report" from which this is excerpted.

Here's an interesting example of youtube political interference. I searched on youtube the title of the show, and it only came up with some shit about Israeli terrorist prime minister Menachem Begin. I had to search OUTSIDE of youtube to get the youtube URL link! Not the first time I've had to do that. I knew when Google bought youtube it would spoil it. Google, now under the corporate umbrella of Alphabet, was a joint project of Sergey Brin, Larry Page, and the NSA and CIA at Stanford University. And it shows.

The Biggest Lie Politicians Tell

 That they care about you.

Think about it. How much do YOU care about total strangers? And how much do you care about millions of them? You care primarily about yourself, your family, and your friends, mainly in that order. Then there's acquaintances, work colleagues, and various people you deal with on a regular basis.

That's not to say you never care about other people, in particular strangers. If those strangers are "humanized" for you, if personal stories of their plight are brought to your attention, that evokes a sympathetic response in you. You are capable of empathy. (I'm assuming you are a normal human. There are pathological humanoids who are classified by biologists as the same as us, homo sapiens, that are incapable of empathy.) But you don't have a burning concern for strangers, most of the time.

What makes you think politicians are different from you?

In fact they care LESS about strangers than you do. (Most of them, with a small minority of exceptions, which I will come to.)

What they care about is POWER. What the hell do you think politics is about? It's about POWER. And politicians want to get and keep power.

YOU are an INSTRUMENT, to be used both to GAIN power, and to exercise power OVER.

That's pretty obvious, isn't it?

So how do politicians get away with it?

I guess people don't think, so they don't see the obvious.

But oftentimes people become "cynical," as the politicians like to say as a putdown, that is, too many false promises by the politicians are broken, too many pipe dreams are spun like so much political cotton candy, that people stop believing the bullshit.

All that I said above isn't just about the U.S. It's true in all countries.

Now there are some people who go INTO politics because there is something they care about, something about the world they want to change. If it's something to make the world better for humans, let's call them progressives. They want progress. If it's something to make things worse, call them reactionaries. Like wanting to take away hard-won rights, as the right to abortion.

Don't make the mistake of equating the word progressive with left, or reactionary with right. The terms Left and Right are used in very broad senses to encompass in both cases a variety of people with various agendas, ideologies, and attitudes. Some of the people and movements lumped in them are wholly inappropriate, especially in the case of what is "left." Two examples: environmentalism and abortion. Environmentalism is simply a rational concern with the fitness for human habitation of the world we live in. What's "leftwing" about THAT? As for abortion, that it should be identified as "leftist" is absurd. There are progressive Catholics who are anti-abortion, and Republicans who favor abortion rights, as the recent smashing success of pro-abortion rights referendums in states where GOP legislatures and Governors outlawed abortion proves. Having the right to control one's own body doesn't seem to be a left-right issue.

The reason environmentalism and abortion rights are associated with leftism is because reactionary propagandists (which includes the corporate power establishment media, the so-called "mainstream media," have made them shibboleths tied to leftism, and decades of indoctrination has branded leftism as bad, evil, socialist, communist.

So to recap: The Biggest Lie politicians tell is that they care about you.

What Is A "Crisis?"

It wasn't a crisis when the U.S. invaded Iraq.
It wasn't a crisis when the U.S. invaded Afghanistan.
It wasn't a crisis when the U.S. invaded Haiti (again).
It wasn't a crisis when the U.S. invaded Haiti (again).
It wasn't a crisis when the U.S. invaded Panama.
It wasn't a crisis when the U.S. invaded Grenada.
It wasn't a crisis when the U.S. invaded Cambodia.
It wasn't a crisis when the U.S. invaded Vietnam.
It wasn't a crisis when the U.S. invaded Cuba (again).
It wasn't a crisis when the U.S. invaded Lebanon.
It wasn't a crisis when the U.S. invaded Haiti.
It wasn't a crisis when the U.S. invaded Cuba.
It wasn't a crisis when the U.S. invaded Mexico (four or five times).
It wasn't a crisis when the U.S. invaded the Philippines.
It wasn't a crisis when the U.S. invaded the British colony that became Canada.
It's a crisis when Russia invades Ukraine.

Understand?

File under "Hyper-Hypocrisy."
And by the way, I've missed some.

Countries have been invading countries for as long as they have existed. War and conquest are thousands of years old.

Ukraine is over 6,000 airmiles from the U.S. at the closest points. Ukraine is right next to Russia. Seems that Russia would naturally have a much greater interest in Ukraine than the U.S. should. Yet the U.S. insisted on making Ukraine a U.S. vassal state with the 2014 violent coup.
Russia was wrong to invade Ukraine- morally and politically. To quote Tallyrand,in strategic terms it's worse than a crime, it's a blunder. But the U.S. created the situation, both with its hostile takeover of Ukraine, and it's treachery towards Russia by breaking its promise not to expand NATO, instead relentlessly pushing it right up to Russia's borders and vowing to bring in Ukraine and Georgia as NATO nations. Russia has said scores of times that this is unaccepotable to them. The U.S. answer is the same as what U.S. apparatchik had to say about the EU in her infamous phone calll to U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Jeffrey Pyass- "Fuck the EU." It's "Fuck You Russia. You're too weak to stop us."

The biggest loser from U.S. arrogance and aggressiveness is Ukraine.
