Joe Biden is a corrupt, murderous empire lackey. He is also a very normal US president. The same was true of Trump. The same was true of Obama. The same was true of Bush. If you can't see this, it's because propaganda and partisan politics have warped your perception of reality.
By far the single most important job of a US president is to take responsibility for decisions on empire management that would have been made regardless of who is in office, whether Democrat or Republican or tuna fish sandwich. Their job is to provide the illusion of democracy.
US presidents will always be evil because the US empire is evil and only evil people will be allowed to participate in its operation.
Exactly. They "vote out" the face of the operation but not the actual power structure committing these acts, letting everyone wash their hands of the deed without changing anything. It's like rectifying a corporation's misdeeds by firing the secretary.
The US is not a puppet of Israel. Israel isn't a puppet of the US for that matter. Saying one puppets the other is like saying Ohio puppets Nevada; they're both member states of the same undeclared empire ruled by uncrowned kings who use governments as weapons to kill and steal.
The lines between nations within the US-centralized empire are no more real than the official elected governments of those nations. It's just a single unified power structure which uses whatever narratives it requires to justify its continued campaign to rule the entire planet.
There are no separate, sovereign nations within the US-centralized power alliance. The imaginary lines drawn between nations are performative illusions for the little people; they don't apply to the transnational alliance of plutocrats and government agencies that runs things.
The Pentagon did not spontaneously evolve an interest in radical transparency, and it is not coincidental that this UFO stuff is coming out as we hurtle into a new cold war and a race to weaponize space. caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/everything-k…
Back in 2019 I wrote an article titled "Things Are Only Going To Get Weirder", and from Covid to the 2020 election to the steadily increasing regularity with which UFOs are now mentioned in the mainstream media, that has indeed proved to be the case. caityjohnstone.medium.com/things-are-onl…
Between the possibility that (A) ETs exist, succeeded in amputating themselves from their ecosystem, mastered interstellar/intergalactic flight, and chose to focus on us, and (B) that the Pentagon is lying again to advance another geostrategic agenda, one seems a lot more likely.
I mean, come on. Do we really believe this "global security threat" is coincidentally being amplified on imperial media at the same time we're seeing a push to get weapons into space amid a new cold war against Russia and China? archive.is/Bpqo5
Donald Trump, the same president used to usher in the "Space Force". There is a zero percent chance the Space Force was Trump's idea, and there's a zero percent chance the UFO report was either. These plans have been in the works since long before Trump.
Sixty percent of earth's mammals are livestock, 36% are humans, and just 4% are wild. It's always easiest to elevate your numbers when you're aligned with the dominant power, whether you're talking about organisms, nations, media, or politicians. livekindly.co/60-of-all-mamm…
This principle explains so much about our world. It's why the US has such an easy time acquiring "allies", for example: nations align with the dominant power structure out of self-interest, because if you don't align with the hunter then you become the hunted.
It's why governments, plutocrats and media institutions all align with that same power structure, and it's why anytime a new force emerges on the scene like social media, it quickly gets absorbed into alignment with that power structure as well. It all moves to align with power.
"You don't get to drop an entire colony on top of an inhabited country, grind those inhabitants into the dirt for generations, and then claim self defense every time they retaliate. That's not a thing." caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/fifteen-thou…
The US-centralized power alliance in general is a gargantuan globe-spanning juggernaut that feeds on rivers of human blood and every time its victims try to escape from its fangs it shows up on the news sobbing that it is merely defending itself.
I'm building a new house. There were people living where I wanted to build it, so I just started building it on top of them. They tried to stop me so I had to kill them for being terrorists. If you disagree with my actions you're basically a Nazi. My house has a right to exist.
When I left an abusive relationship I told people he raped me, he hit me, he psychologically and financially abused me, while he told people that it's actually quite complicated. In my experience that's generally the case when one side defends abuses with "it's complicated".
You see it over and over again, the party that's obviously in the wrong trying to make their abuses look complicated when they are quite simple. You see it with Israeli abuses of the Palestinians, you saw it when John Bolton defends the Iraq invasion:
"It's complicated." No, usually it's quite simple, especially when the accused abuser is in the up-power position.
