If nothing else, Americans across the ideological spectrum can now see that all of U.S. Congress holds the entire country in contempt
If nothing else, Americans across the ideological spectrum can now see that all of U.S. Congress holds the entire country in contempt
And despite the government and the corporate media being subsidiaries of the Department of Defense, the WEF, and Tel Aviv, (some) Americans aren't buying the propaganda or the hypocrisy anymore
Since I started writing on Substack in August 2020, my criticism of influential political actors has focused mainly on elected members of the Democratic Party. The Dems have been nominally in charge of the American government for most of that time, and over the past eight or so years, the Dems have most conspicuously betrayed every one of their own party’s professed values, and have done so with shocking alacrity and unity.
The party’s voting base has shrunk dramatically since the animated remnants of Joe Biden Jr. were guided into the Oval Office four Januarys ago, and if Biden is actually on the ticket in November, he’ll lose a free and fair election no matter who his opponent is. This is typically how U.S. presidents are rewarded for visibly degrading life for at least 95 percent of American citizens, even if many of these people are unaware in real time of the reaming they’re receiving.
But despite more people becoming open to the reality of how forcefully the citizenry is being fucked, and—however reluctantly—to the prospect that party loyalty is and always has been a sucker’s game, I remain amazed by the number of longtime blue voters, many of them friends going back decades, who don’t blink when presented with the fact that for years, elected Dems haven’t even mentioned things like, oh, expansion of access to healthcare, worker protections, freedom of speech, and most of all opposition to the U.S. war machine perpetrating violence for profit and sending American servicepersons overseas to die (or, short of that, be traumatized or disillusioned for life).
You can also point out to these Blue-Anons that the country is demonstrably worse in every way than it was under Donald Trump, and after that they just label you either a right-winger if this is remotely plausible or mentally ill if it’s not. Meanwhile, they continue to insist from the land of sound science that the covid jabs were safe and effective and that Lia Thomas should get to swim “as a woman.”
Within all of this rancor directed at Democrats, however, I’ve at times pushed the theme that it doesn’t matter what party is “in charge,” because both parties are ultimately controlled by the same people, meaning that both parties inevitably gravitate toward the same large-scale frauds and outright horrors. When as an American citizen you hear talk of bipartisanship, you should prepare yourself for an unusually brutal episode of uninvited congressional copulation with your face and anus.
The bill that just passed in the U.S. House of Representatives stands as the most wide-open, literally jubilant FUCK YOU! to Americans across the political spectrum of my lifetime. About the only people who should not be absolutely mortified by the authorization of $95 billion to Ukraine, Israel, and fer Chrissakes Taiwan with nothing in this bill for Americans (well, except for the erasure of TikTok) are the very wealthy and Zionists—overlapping, child-sex-happy mini-groups that together fortunately amount to far less than one percent of the American population.
Most of the members of congress seen whooping and waving Ukrainian flags once the weekend’s proceedings were complete are Republicans. Regardless, all of them deserve to be hauled from their limousines and dismantled limb by preening, authoritarian limb by a well-caffeinated mob more bent on administering the most rigorous of tough love than on granting umpteenth chances to make good on at least a few promises. The same goes for the ones prioritizing Israel’s interests over Americans’, which is the role being played by any congressperson who’s not currently insisting that the U.S. immediately and permanently cut off one hundred percent of the money and weapons being sent to those psychopathic slingers of mass starvation and white-settler colonialism.
But if this seems less insane that it should, it’s because the corporate media—rumored by conspiracy theorists to be run by the same people who allegedly control Wall Street, the banks, the Federal Reserve, and Biden himself—have been prepping the electorate with regular bouts of pernicious gaslighting, each time further extending the edges of desired reality into what to this point has been pure "WTF? Is this satire?” territory.
Apart from war-related coverage, how often do The Atlantic and The Wall Street Journal agree on an editorial issue of the day? The brazen falsity of the shared message aside, when media outlets align on what you, the reader, are wrong to believe, you should immediately hunt for the deeper driver of the unified false front.
In an article published on Racket News tonight,
covered what has become a sudden intensification of the intermittent “No, the economy isn’t bad, ya fuckin’ retards” media signal into continuous static.
The timing of this blitz is of course not a coincidence, as even voters committed to electing establishment hacks are aware of how egregious and ill-timed a giveaway this is. Nothing against the Taiwanese, but $8 billion could make an enormous dent in—among other domestic social and structural ills—sprawling homelessness and the opioid crisis. Instead, this shit? Really?
Meanwhile, Israel’s and its U.S.-based influence groups’ answer to losing both militarily and in the American public-relations arena has been to flood Ivy League campuses with Zionist infiltrators of anti-genocide protests and have protesters arrested for, you guessed it, antisemitism-related crimes.
These students need to keep making noise. Everyone from actual Nazis to the members of Jewish Voices for Peace are being labeled antisemites for daring to stand up to clowns like Ben Shapiro and Bari Weiss. And although financed beyond measure by Zionist interests, talentless, shucking-and-jiving clowns are exactly what these impossibly narcissistic theft-and-murder agitators are.
Americans should feel welcome to run around calling for the total wipeout of Palestinians if they want to. Many in fact are taking noisy advantage of this freedom; people have their reasons for believing what they believe. But the idea that it’s verboten to oppose this is an especially dangerous and delusional roll-out of hypocrisy I’m unwilling to accept.
Shapiro, Weiss, Bill Ackman, and other pro-genocide loons are the people who need to shut the fuck up and listen, no matter how rich they are, how wah-wah-wah pissy they predictably become, and how eagerly they scramble for a way to cancel all opposing voices achieving scale. At least this is what they should do, because Americans are not going to continue roll over by the millions and allow a country run by racist, smug, homicidal zealots who spend their entire lives lying without remorse or consequence to completely take over the machinery of this one without a few people voicing their objections.
Or who knows; maybe, in the end, most of them will. But as I've stressed, it’s imperative to allow no exceptions when responding to anti-free speech campaigners no matter the nature of their core grievance, because they all have the same sociopathic, me-only aims in mind, and they are all committed to lying to protect something they have or desire—something that they may not have earned in the rest of society’s eyes, be it a marathon medal or billions more in taxpayer money.
That the media and politicians are actively courting people’s votes at this point is among the most excoriating insults of all. Probably because it’s plain that an avalanche of cable-”news”-addled Boomers, Great White Karens mostly from the Millennial and Gen Z ranks, and blue-haired Zoomers would drop a vote for Biden unhesitatingly were the election today, all united by the same basic virtue: being either sufficiently wizened or sufficiently affluent to pretend the United States isn’t a roiling mess overseen by the sneering, well-rewarded marionettes of morally unbounded actors like Bill Gates and George Soros who are as close to demons as any secular beings ever to stalk and plunder the Earth.
