Isn’t it remarkable how, dating back to 1914 at the very latest, Americans keep voting for peace and yet somehow find themselves repeatedly enmeshed in funding and fighting foreign wars?
Rachel Blevins: The American people, we keep voting for the guy who is telling us “hey no new wars, we’re going to end the endless wars” right? We’re going to put an end to what has essentially been US foreign policy as we know it, and then not only do they never do it, but we have this growing multipolar world…
COL Macgregor: Americans have to come to the realization that this dichotomy, Democrats and Republicans, is meaningless. We’re really dealing with a uni-party. We’re dealing with an entirely corrupted, dysfunctional system. This thing that we call democracy in the United States is a scam, it’s not real, it’s just not real. When Louis the 16th was crowned King of France, people in the streets in Paris and other cities said “Long live the 16th… as long as the price of bread doesn’t rise.” And in 1789 there was a revolution because the French people in Paris could not afford to buy bread. It spread like wildfire across France. Now pick a commodity, whatever you want in the United States. Pick any place in the United States, and you’ve got a very similar situation right now.
He’s right. I pointed this out back in 2004, and probably even earlier, when I wrote about the bifactional ruling party. I didn’t realize that it was simply the elected face of AIPAC back then, but it was entirely obvious that a) it was a single party with common goals and b) those common goals were antithetical to both American interests and the expressed will of the American people.
So, however painful it might be, in the long run it would probably benefit the American people if the Trump administration were to do the will of AIPAC and Prime Minister Netanyahu and embark upon its now-expected Iranian Expedition. Because the nation isn’t going to be freed until the empire falls.
