The final season of "America"
November 5th may be the final episode
That is right, the United States of America only exists on television and social media. If you look on the ground, all you will see is rotten infrastructure controlled by global private equity firms, managed by lobbyists and political consulting firms serving multinational corporations and banks, patrolled by private intelligence and security firms, narrated by media and news that is produced by the big six entertainment corporations, and inhabited by a zombie apocalypse of confused and disoriented citizens.
What we do have, however, is the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Paine’s writings, and 250 years of political thought that has brought us near greatness at certain moments. The cynical drive to destroy the humanities, and promote STEM, has resulted in that part of America that could save us being tossed in the dustbin of history. But that action can be reversed by we the people.
I do hold that we can “Make America Great for the First Time.” Or, as Langston Hughes put it,
“Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death,
The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies,
We, the people, must redeem
The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers.
The mountains and the endless plain—
All, all the stretch of these great green states—
And make America again!”
(“Let America be America Again” 1935, Langston Hughes)
What we might see is a rebirth of independent States.
The nuclear war machine that creates profits for the arms industry at the expense of American taxpayers while bringing death and destruction to the rest of the world might finally be finished.
States that proclaim independence from the War machine can be protected as Non-Combatants under the Rome Statute.
While states that remain within the USA all get turned into nuclear ashes by Russia's hypersonic nuclear arsenal.
I have mixed feelings about Macgregor in many respects. He has basically replaced Larry Wilkerson who was far more professional. But more importantly MacGregor seems to assume that Trump has special rights. If we are going to have an early election, then we should have a fair election. That means both Trump and "Biden" are disqualified. You will not hear him saying that.
