Rule by secrecy in an age marked by the free flow of information is proving to be an impossible task for America's rulers, whose ability to manage mass propaganda about critical issues is being challenged by WikiLeaks, the 21st century's gatecrashers. The decentralized nature of the organization has thrown a curve ball into the elite's big plans for a century of war, and slavery. WikiLeaks's recent successes, along with the global political awakening, has accelerated the process of decline of the media gatekeepers. Western censorship about the crimes, and lies of the U.S. government is having the reverse effect. Instead of turning away from the truth in a time of deceit, and treachery, people are actively pursuing it.
Documentaries, radio shows, alternative news programs, and blogs on the internet are giving people in America, and around the world deep knowledge about political issues that the mainstream media continually neglects. One of the main issues is the September 11 terrorist attacks, which is treated by the schizophrenic U.S. political establishment, and media propagandists both as a dead issue, and as the key justification for the ongoing war in Afghanistan. But although the 9/11 deception is in the political background, and the subject of conspiracies is largely ignored, the ever growing 9/11 truth movement shows no signs of stopping. It is a political hurricane in perpetual motion that is carrying the millions of voices in the wilderness, and empowering each one with the truth so that a collective cry for change can be heard in the hollow halls of Congress.
Before, the crimes of the American empire, and Israel were easily suppressed, or justified in America, and the only public recognition of the grave transgressions against humanity by the two countries came from rare voices like Noam Chomsky, but today, the two myths, "the shining city on the hill," for America, and "God's chosen people," for Israel, which have equally produced a horrific reality in the Middle East, are no longer believed in by a growing number of the American people.
Author Fred Branfman recently wrote about Chomsky's views on the American establishment in his article, "A Warning From Noam Chomsky on the Threat of Elites,":
"Chomsky thus argues that human survival requires changing the system, not merely periodically replacing those running it. His “Hopes and Prospects” covers President Obama’s first year in office and the many “hopes” that he has so profoundly disappointed because of a system that virtually requires “doublethink” of its leaders."
The power of plutocrats behind the imperial throne that Obama now graces as if it was his own must be destroyed if freedom and justice are to survive along with the species in the new millennium. Branfman writes that Chomsky is not hopeful that change will happen anytime soon, saying, "his description of the stranglehold elites hold over both domestic and foreign policy offers little near-term hope for the kind of systemic changes he believes are needed to save the species. It is true that postwar America has not before faced the kind of economic and imperial decline that now awaits it, and this may produce possibilities for systemic change. But they are nowhere yet in sight." Systemic changes in America may not be on the horizon, but there does exist the high possibility of systemic breakdown, and that could create positive opportunities for large political coalitions, championed by new political leadership, to emerge across America.
Once the facade of the Tea Party movement wears off, and the machinations of the movement's corporate masters are revealed to an even greater audience, people will naturally look for real, pragmatic, and local solutions to the ailing problems that spring from Washington D.C.
Chants of "limiting" the federal government may turn into "let it drown." And it will drown in debt, it's own manufactured debt - debt that the American people need not pay since it's been illegitimately incurred by corrupt federal politicians, and criminal private bankers.
A new, and largely peaceful revolution against private banking debt may sound Utopian, and far-off, but so did the dream of a republic governed without a King in 1776, and the dream of a racially united America in 1963. The American people are a daring people, and it seems that they are once again ready to enter a new political paradigm.
The rotten heart of the American empire in Washington D.C., symbolized by Dick Cheney's own heart problems, is collapsing. This collapse is allowing the development of many little hearts throughout America's fifty states, whose blood and circulation will be local, and dedicated to peaceful, and prosperous ends, as opposed to profits for empire, and big banks. Amidst the ruins of Washington's collapse, decentralized political movements that are state-bound could gain favor by people who have already given up on the federal government to fix America's problems. The popularity of state banking in North Dakota could be replicated elsewhere.Decentralization is a key tent in the new secession movement, as documented by Chris Hedges in his article, "The New Secessionists." Secession is not a reactionary force, but a proactive and positive force in the new political landscape. In anticipation to America's systematic collapse, local leaders in states like Vermont, and New Hampshire are returning to the path wisely laid out by the Founding Fathers, and teaching a new generation of Americans about the political importance of states rights, checks and balances in government, and civic virtue in society.
The more violent ramifications of future political revelations are hard to predict, as is the backlash by the U.S. government to suppress information and dissent, but if one thing is clear, it is this: a house that does not stand on truthful foundations collapses within itself. The small support that the self-absorbed political establishment has is artificial, and could shrink quickly in the event of a major political crisis.
What the political crisis will look like, and how it will proceed is slowly coming into view. In the backdrop there will be a new world war, a world economy in ruins, a mountain of debt, and military control of American streets. The illusion that America changed with the election of Barack Obama is going to end harshly for millions of people, who were sold sunshine and rainbows, but are getting death, and pain.
And as the West burns, so will the Middle East. The new President isn't charting a new course in the Muslim world, as some naively hoped he would, instead, he is expanding the previous administration's aggressive, and criminal foreign policy. While Obama insists that Iran follow international law, he says nothing of Israel's repeated abuses, nor of the United States's own rejection of human rights, and the rule of law. His silence in the immediate aftermath of the IDF's raid on the Freedom Flotilla aid ship was further proof that he is either beholden to Zionist ideologues, or too cowardly to resist them. Whichever is true, it is hard to accept the hollow cries for peace from a man who justifies massacres, and plunges his country deeper into criminal and needless wars. An unearned peace prize is not a shield for war crimes.
Obama's constant warnings against the Iranian theocratic government about its alleged nuclear weapons program, and his bold statements upon the passage of UN sanctions against Iran on June 9, 2010, means another war is in the works, and this time, there won't be any talk of a new "surge" when things go bad - there will demands by the monsters, sheep, and charlatans to "release the bomb."
It it is difficult to pinpoint when the unmasking of the President began. Alex Jones made the documentary "The Obama Deception" in March 2009, but Obama still enjoyed high popularity well into the summer of 2009. It may have started in December of 2009, when Obama gave a speech at West Point about his plan for military escalation in Afghanistan. Or it could have been his lackluster response to the BP oil spill that angered a lot of liberals. It's hard to know. A short while ago, Jon Stewart, who has a lot of cultural capital, exposed the President's credibility gap by showing his campaign rhetoric, and all the promises he made, alongside his Orwellian policies as President. It can't be overstated how much of an influence Jon Stewart has over the young people of America, and that's a good thing, because Stewart is a honest and rational person. And if Stewart goes, then so go the young people, whose support for Obama in the 2008 election was the deal breaker.
Finding new support to get re-elected come 2012 won't be Obama's biggest problem. If the war with Iran moves forward on schedule, there will be civil unrest, and the possibility of mass violence in America. It is already clear that Obama lacks the authority to strike fear in the American population, and make them surrender to the empire's will. Quite simply, his administration will be overwhelmed if the American people decide to take matters into their own hands. Taking on a new war, while public support for the two current self-defeating wars in the Middle East is diminishing, is political suicide for Obama, and the political establishment. A majority of the American people see through the lies about Iran's nuclear capabilities, and public opinion won't change six months, or a year from now, even if the President's pleads for an attack against "the evil Iranian regime."
One of the likely consequences from an Israeli-inspired U.S. attack on Iran will be the downfall of the unconstitutional, illegitimate, and criminal National Secrecy regime in Washington. It's failures, and crimes, which span over six decades, are exemplar of other barbarous, and authoritarian states that were born in the 20th century, and the Republican and Democratic parties share equal responsibility for them.
Together, the Republican and Democrats have covered-up war crimes, and Wall Street crimes; and then extended public funding for war crimes, and Wall Street crimes. Throughout all of this "legislation" as they call it, they've severely neglected the country's infrastructure, and the well-being of the American people, especially of 9/11 first responders, whose heroism only goes unnoticed in Congress.
Washington's rampant political corruption marks all politicians, regardless of their personal records, as social outcasts, and parasites. That is a very serious, and dangerous development, but it's one that won't likely be reversed anytime soon, because it is increasingly evident to all rational people that the Congress, the Senate, and the White House don't work for the American people. They are seen as traitors, cowards, and the corrupt puppets of the oligarchy. The day could soon come when corrupt Congressmen and Senators will need the protection of the military, police, and private mercenaries in order to stay safe from public vigilantism. For some, the ultimate safe havens will be offshore.
If such a hostile view towards Washington persists, which no doubt it will, then people across the country will openly question the political authority of Washington, and break ties with the federal government. Let's hope that the separation is peaceful, and sudden rather than violent, and prolonged, because if Washington pushes back against the American people, using the police and military, then things will get ugly very quickly.
Speaking as a northern neighbor of America, I want to see America peacefully ruled by genuine, and kind men, not shallow puppets, foreign nations, traitors, corporate raiders, and criminal bankers. I want to see America free, and just.
