Why is it, Caitlin, that the US Empire Does Not Seek Peace; but rather that its Existence Depends On Endless War?
Why is it, Caitlin, that the US Empire Does Not Seek Peace; but rather that its Existence Depends On Endless War?
I find fascinating the process by which Caitlin Johnstone slowly wanders her way towards the underlying truths that the questions she poses in the first place tend to obscure. But things are so bad that she is forced to start asking the right fundemental questions. This article is a turning point.
Although Caitlin and her audience are still is not there yet, she is leading them slowly forward; all are being forced to think that perhaps beneath the need for war in the United States is something beyond personal evil and selfish people. That perhaps an economy dominated by the cult of growth, an system that demands consumption as a prerequisite for success—like a blood sacrifice— is a system that demands, perforce, war. She sees the outline of a system wherein the true, invisible, enemy, is not some bad apple, or Satan, or illuminati, but overproduction.
She slowly forced to consider that perhaps, just perhaps, the problem is baked into the system itself, that the contradiction between the nation state system that we are forced to work in, and the global financial system that seeks out endless profits around the world is the core problem, and also the desired state for the billionaires seeking control.
Once one sees the bivalent nature of the nation state, serving as the basic unit of the United Nations, but also as just one tool in the tool chest of the multinational corporations; once one grasps how for private equity the nation state is both a barrier to greater profits, but at the same time is the most reliable way of indoctrinating and controlling people using force that is effective and persuation that is convincing, then one starts to get the picture.
Of course all this was discussed by writers like Rosa Luxembourg in her book The Accumulation of Capital from 1913, but now, we must rediscover these truths all over again.

The US Empire Does Not Seek Peace; Its Existence Depends On Endless War
Sep 26
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
On Tuesday the dementia-addled meat puppet who is still officially the President of the United States told the UN that he is working to bring a “greater measure of peace and stability to the middle east,” even as the US government pumps weapons into Israel so that it can continue its bloody massacres in Lebanon and Gaza.
On Wednesday Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh told the press that “we don’t want to see this escalate” in Lebanon and that the US is working to “avoid a regional war”.
Only an idiot would believe these claims. They are self-evidently false. Nobody who seeks peace finds themselves in a constant state of war. This is true of Israel, and it is true of the US-centralized empire as a whole.
Caitlin? She bans (sic) people from her Substack if they date call Israel (sic) The Jewish Supremacy State of Murding Raping Starvating Polluting Poisoning Maiming.
You say indoctrination? This country is based on genocide, and that is baked into the DNA, collective. Democrats and Republicans, they have variations on the theme of "home of the brave . . . America a force for good in the world."
That America is about depopulating the natives, about land theft and decimation. A good Indian is a dead Indian. The entire country's history before Jews like Oppenheimer or Roy Coen or Zuckerberg or Ellison or Fink or the Wailing Wall White House bat and bar mitzvah clan and their progenitors, Jews of Neoconservative breeding, came onto the scene in a heavy way, well, pacifing the indegiouns population, taking out the ecosystem of grasslands and buffalo, and drilling for oil and blasting for gold.
A force for good? What does that mean? Cailin is living the life in another penal colony, Australia, and she is so afraid of calling a spade or a Jew a Jew, that her shadow is crumbling in her mind.
Tell me a time when USA was a place of great people and good for the world? This country comes from the dirty offspring of AngloSaxonGermanicIberianFranco trash, mostly.
And so we are here, with the Jewish Media and the Wailing Wall White House, and another Jew, Kamala Emoff-Harris, about to take the helm.
Dirty dirty business this Jewish supremacy!

CBS News lets Blinken get away with murder
Blinken just lied to Congress. People are dying because of it.

Two government bodies concluded that Israel deliberately blocked humanitarian aid to Gaza. From reporting by ProPublica: “The U.S. Agency for International Development and others determined that Israel had broken the law.” But when Secretary of State Antony Blinken testified before Congress, he told an alternative truth.
“We do not currently assess that the Israeli government is prohibiting or otherwise restricting” aid, he said under oath, despite endless evidence and reports to the contrary.
So when Blinken was confronted about this lie on CBS News, do you think they held him to the facts?
“The US government says,” began one of the hosts, asking the question exactly as she was instructed to, “that it has to restrict supplying weapons to a country that deliberately stops humanitarian aid from getting to civilians. Why have we not done so?”
Anything missing from that question? They include ProPublica’s report, but the question ignores the fact that Blinken is the one who lied to Congress about this. By letting him off the hook, the reporting ensures that Blinken’s lie goes unchecked, and further, ensures that Israel remains free to continue committing war crimes in the future.

Look, when one's fucking telephone, yes, cell phone, which is necessary for even homeless people to get paid and SNAP, when they are booby trapped and turned into bombs, and when all devices might end up as such, where have we come?
Can I set up a few hundred Molotovs and set forth on ending the sicarios of the sanctions and economic hitmen like Fink or BlackStone or Oracle?
Christ -- this is more than indoctrination. This is successful brainwashing of the very high Edwards Bernays kind.
You ain't going to find good in the American Apple Pie.
Even Jill Stein has to grovel and say "Putin bad, ZioAzovNaziLensky good."
Fuck.

Her antiwar writings provide a pedagogical morality guide for liberals who during the scamdemic were cult believers of the ludicrous official security state narrative, go figure. 😁
