A foolish President Obama and
moronic Secretary of State Kerry have handed the United States
government its worst diplomatic defeat in history and destroyed the
credibility of the Office of the President, the Department of State, and
the entire executive branch. All are exposed as a collection of
third-rate liars.
Intoxicated
with hubris from past successful lies and deceptions used to destroy
Iraq and Libya, Obama thought the US “superpower,” the “exceptional” and
“indispensable” country, could pull it off again, this time in Syria.
But the rest of the world has learned to avoid Washington’s rush to
war when there is no evidence. A foolish Obama was pushed far out on the
limb by an incompetent and untrustworthy National Security Advisor,
Susan Rice, and the pack of neoconservatives that support her, and the
British Parliament cut the limb off.
What kind of fool would put himself in that vulnerable position?
Now Obama stands alone, isolated, trying to back away from his threat
to attack without authorization from anyone–not from the UN, not from
NATO, not from Congress who he ignored–a sovereign country. Under the
Nuremberg Standard military aggression is a war crime. Washington has
until now got away with its war crimes by cloaking them in UN or NATO
approval. Despite these “approvals,” they remain war crimes.
But his National Security Advisor and the neocon warmongers are
telling him that he must prove that he is a Real Man who can stand alone
and commit war crimes all by himself without orchestrated cover from
the UN or NATO or a cowardly US Congress. It is up to Obama, they
insist, to establish for all time that the President of the United
States is above all law. He, and he alone is the “decider,” the Caesar,
who determines what is permissible. The Caesar of the “sole superpower”
must now assert his authority over all law or Washington’s hegemony over
the world is lost.
As I noted in an earlier column today, if Obama goes it alone, he
will be harassed for the rest of his life as a war criminal who dares
not leave the US. Indeed, a looming economic collapse could so alter the
power and attitude of the United States that Obama could find himself
brought to justice for his war crimes.
Regardless, the United States government has lost its credibility
throughout the world and will never regain it, unless the Bush and Obama
regimes are arrested and put on trial for their war crimes.
Obama’s destruction of US credibility goes far beyond diplomacy. It
is likely that this autumn or winter, and almost certainly in 2014, the
US will face severe economic crisis.
The long-term abuse of the US dollar’s reserve currency role by the
Federal Reserve and US Treasury, the never-ending issuance of new debt
and printing of dollars to finance it, the focus of US economic policy
on bailing out the “banks too big to fail” regardless of the adverse
impact on domestic and world economies and holders of US Treasury debt,
the awaiting political crisis of the unresolved deficit and debt ceiling
limit that will greet Congress’ return to Washington in September,
collapsing job opportunities and a sinking economy all together present
the government in Washington with a crisis that is too large for the
available intelligence, knowledge, and courage to master.
When the proverbial hits the fan, the incompetent and corrupt Federal
Reserve and the incompetent and corrupt US Treasury will have no more
credibility than Obama and John Kerry.
The rest of the world–especially Washington’s bullied NATO puppet
states–will take great delight in the discomfort of “the world’s sole
superpower” that has been running on hubris ever since the Soviet
collapse.
The world is not going to bail out Washington, now universally hated,
with currency swaps, more loans, and foreign aid. Americans are going
to pay heavily for their negligence, their inattention, their unconcern,
and their ignorant belief that nothing can go wrong for them and that
anything that does is temporary.
Two decades of jobs offshoring has left the US with a third world
labor force employed in lowly paid domestic nontradable services, a
workforce comparable to India’s of 40 years ago. Already the “world’s
sole superpower” is afflicted with a large percentage of its population
dependent on government welfare for survival. As the economy closes
down, the government’s ability to meet the rising demands of survival
diminishes. The rich will demand that the poor be sacrificed in the
interest of the rich. And the political parties will comply.
Is this the reason that Homeland Security, a Nazi Gestapo
institution, now has a large and growing para-military force equipped
with tanks, drones, and billions of rounds of ammunition?
How long will it be before American citizens are shot down in their
streets by “their” government as occurs frequently in Washington’s close
allies in Egypt, Turkey, Bahrain?
Americans have neglected the requirements of liberty. Americans are
so patriotic and so gullible that all the government has to do is to
wrap itself in the flag, and the people, or too many of them, believe
whatever lie the government tells. And the gullible people will defend
the government’s lie to their death, indeed, to the death of the entire
world.
If Americans keep believing the government’s lies, they have no
future. If truth be known, Americans have already lost a livable future.
The neocons’ “American Century” is over before it begun.
Update:
I have heard from educated and aware friends that the presstitute media
on the evening news are beating the drums for war. This shows what paid
whores the US media is and their total disconnect from reality. Anyone
who wastes their time on the US media is a brainwashed idiot, a danger
to humanity.
Update 8:52 PM August 30: Is the White House idiot going to
be a victim of his own careless presidential appointments? Does he have
no one to tell him how to escape the dilemma his moronic Secretary of
State and National Security Advisor have put him in? Someone needs to
tell the WH Fool that he must say that he accepts the conclusion of the
world community that there is not sufficient evidence for launching a
military attack on Syria and killing even more people than were killed
in the alleged, but unproven, chemical attack, and that he awaits
further and better evidence. God help the moron and the unfortunate
country that the fool represents.
