The biggest news event of the day is that according to “activist” Syrian rebels that the Assad regime has used chemical weapons on hundreds of people including women and children. This will have the war freaks caterwauling at several octaves above their normal ear-splitting pitch as the U.S. now must escalate the already disastrous decade plus misadventure in the Middle East against the barbarous Assad. The one thing about our star-spangled fascist state’s easily swallowed national lie of American exceptionalism is that it continues the emergency state of surveillance, war on civil liberties and looting of the treasury that has perpetuated our now careening into overdrive downtrend. This will be sold to the masses as a gross human rights violation and the justification to send more American troops into battle to be maimed and to kill civilians in a foreign land where we have zero business of being in the first place. Both Bushes were able to rouse the rabble and get them saluting the flag in full-throated patriotic fervor over the demonic Saddam who gassed his own people, look for Barack Obama to do follow their examples. His conclave of corrupt apparatchik in the White House are already seeking the sameU.N. stamp of approval that it took for Bush to attack Iraq.
This crossing of his much ballyhooed “red line” will now allow for him to become a “war president” and to enjoy the bully pulpit from which he will send forth his NSA Stasi and Gestapo Justice Department to smash opponents of our state’s now eternal war. Just as Democratic president Woodrow Wilson did in the early days of Empire with his ruthless crackdown on anti-war dissidents during the waning days of World War I. It is no coincidence that Obama has been the most aggressive president since Wilson with his abuse of Wilson’s own Espionage Act of 1917 which has been used to devastate the free press in current times. As Orwell so aptly put it – Oceania has always been at war and it suited the government of his dystopian world of “1984” well. Now that Barry has become Big Brother his rogue cabal of cornered rats, thugs and scoundrels will heavy-handedly enforce their will and just as O’Brien sneered to Winston Smith the rule now is that “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever”. There is no depth to which the swine will not descend to as they seek to protect the golden goose of their war machine, Military Keynesianism directed upwards to the top while the fiends at NSA HQ will make damned sure that there will never be a challenge to the existing order.
This alleged chemical weapons attack is highly suspicious for a number of reasons, firstly the fortuitous timing in that a team of U.N. experts had just begun work onlooking for evidence of chemical weapon use in Syria after months of propaganda. Why the hell would the Assad government, which by most accounts is more than holding it’s own suddenly risk international condemnation and an inevitable escalation on the part of the U.S. and it’s western allies? In light of the rottenness that has enveloped this once great country it just seems staged, a claim that the Russian supporters of the Assad regime are already mumbling and rightfully so. It would not beyond the “rebels” with their Al Qaeda support and their cannibalistic tendencies to do such a thing were it to benefit their cause would it? Obama and his loathsome enforcer Eric Holder are still seething over being punked by Putin over the Snowden affair and their lackeys over at MSNBC, especially Tokyo Rachel Maddow have been sowing the seeds of a new Cold War of discontent. Liberals love the big state butchery associated with war as long as it can be justified by some bullshit humanitarian interventionist cause. The rumblings of a global crusade to make the world safe for gay marriage has already been floated as a trial balloon by the MSNBC shills, and liberals have the nerve to accuse Fox News of propagandizing? I grew sick of the hypocrisy of the liberals who I knew who became apologists for Obama for things that they wanted Bush and Cheney strung up by their balls for and stopped associating with them. They will surely be cheering on their hero Obama as he looses the dogs of war on the Assad government.
The entire region is about to go up in flames soon which suits many, including the once disgraced but still influential neocons who concocted the Iraq war just fine. With the Egyptian junta continuing to slaughter all opposition in a U.S. sanctioned operation that the Obama administration still refuses to call a “coup” and now being issued a guarantee of financial backing by our ‘partners in peace’ over in Saudi Arabia there is a conflagration now coming. Incidentally, that would be the same Saudi Arabia from which fifteen of the nineteen September 11, 2001 hijackers came from and that tragic and horrifying event was effectively used by American fascists as their own Reichstag Fire which provided the justification for what the Gore Vidal sardonically called ”perpetual war for perpetual peace” .
The U.S. deep state perfectly used those attacks from which to terrify Americans into submission and to birth their fascist state, now it’s Saudi connections will ensure that the money into Cairo will provide plausible deniability to the U.S. Empire for the Suharto style purge of opposition forces. This once moral nation has one hell of a lot to answer for as far as it’s myriad of gross alliances with terrorist supporting regimes who regularly slaughter far more than the 1,300 who were allegedly gassed by Assad. Unfortunately it won’t have to (at least in the short term) because the victors and their hired scribes and experts so often write the history. That is unless it comes to collapsed empires and this one is surely headed for a far worse date with historical infamy than Rome. Perhaps once the corruption, arrogance and hubris of those psychopaths who managed to become our leaders after the Second World War have finally gone a bridge too far and imploded the United States of America from within will historians who are yet unborn haul the rotten carcass of this empire of fear, loathing, greed, oppression, war and dumbness upon an autopsy table and carve out the truth. We then forever serve as an example of all that could have been done for the betterment of humanity and yet was lost thanks to sociopathic power-mad punks like Obama, his predecessors and the rest of their filthy ilk.
The Obama regime will wash away their sins in the rivers of bloodshed from their coming wars, like lepers frolicking in the waters at Lourdes.
That’s just the way we roll in this place.
