With both parties unwilling to agree on a desperately-needed 2nd Stimulus package amid Great Depression-levels of economic suffering, it should be crystal clear that both Democrats and Republicans are happy to destroy the average American in their lust for power.
It’s incredibly devilish, but just to achieve their short-term goal of winning the November elections both parties have proven that the ruin of Main Street is a perfectly acceptable price to paid.
Republican intransigence at least has an ideological component, albeit a terrible one: the largest pillar of neoliberal ideology is to slash the size of government at all levels – this explains why they refuse to concede to the Democrats’ intelligent call for hundreds of billions in stimulus funding for state and local governments.
Yet Republicans’ don’t seem to understand that their beloved “democracy with American characteristics” does have a flaw or two: the US is a federal system – the fundamental structure of this type of government is to empower local government and to reduce the power of the central government. Therefore, in any type of crisis the federal government is handicapped from the very start – US citizens are forced to depend on local governments. Yet a crisis like this – which saps local funding and tax revenue – makes a federal/national response the difference between life or death.
Democratic intransigence is harder to understand: why did they go months without even mouthing condemnation towards anarchic situations in places like Portland and Minneapolis, or against cases of violent looting which topples far more small-business households than corporate insurance companies? Why do they refuse President Trump’s call for a stand-alone stimulus package consisting of another $1,200 check to households? Everyone reading this is aware of the general statistics: as recently as two weeks ago 42% of all US households said they have endured job losses or reductions in wages – more aid is urgently, urgently needed and has been for months.
It is irresponsible to not objectively consider the widespread claim over here: Democrats are sowing as much disorder and suffering as possible in order to oust the incumbent because – of course – how can an incumbent possibly survive this catastrophe? Democrats have history on their side (if perhaps not the popular vote): the only one-term presidents in the past 50 years – Jimmy Carter and George Bush I – were doomed by recessions far, far more minor than this one.
So it seems as if Republicans are fine with – on an ideological level – the social chaos necessarily caused by a people without a government. It seems that Democrats are fine with – on a practical level – months and months of hellish social and individual suffering if it means they can win back the presidency.
The answer in almost every country would be obvious: surely a third party must be turned to?
But the duopoly in the US system is so firmly entrenched that there simply is no third party. Democrats throw up huge obstacles to keep left-wing parties like Greens or socialists from even being on local ballots, while Republicans do the same for more right-leaning parties like the Libertarians. Beyond this very real collusion – which in any non-Western country would be denounced as rendering elections not at all “free and fair” – a “winner take all” system means that third parties can make no incremental gains, only sweep to power in a landslide. Such a shift hasn’t happened here since the collapse of the Whig Party in the 1850s.
Trump, however, was indeed something of a third-party landslide, history will prove:
Because they were so fed up with the disregard and corruption of Washington half the country elected a totally non-partisan non-politician like Trump (he has changed his party affiliation five times), mainly because of his promise to drain “the Swamp” and, thrillingly, dangling the promise of prosecuting people like “crooked Hillary” in a China-like anti-corruption drive. Unfortunately for these voters not only has Trump proven to have no coherent political ideology at all (nor the ability to acquire one over four years of daily political briefings), but he has depressingly done his very best to win the acceptance of the political establishment. Trump has “become the Republican Party” even though he was voted in to destroy it and to provide an alternative to it. The Republican Party knew that – this is why they rejected Trump’s candidacy all the way until May 2016. Indeed, it’s too bad that Trump handles rejection so well.
Despite his stupidities, vulgarities and baggage, in 2016 Trump was indeed the “vote for change” to half the United States. Yet due to his four-year effort to win “The Swamp’s” approval – which is proof that he is not a truly “populist” politician at all – in 2020 he cannot be considered, like Barack Obama in 2008, the “hope candidate”.
So who is the “hope candidate” for an already deeply cynical and embittered American populace which is now also economically-desperate and patriotically aghast?
Because Trump has actually rendered no genuine change in Washington – he has merely been absorbed by the Swamp’s quicksand – there are only two choices, and both choices are the same as they were prior to the 2016 Trump phenomenon: inconsequential third parties or abstention.
A vote for third parties like Party for Socialism and Liberation, the Green Party or even the Libertarians is the only ballot an American with free will can cast and truly feel like they have not sanctioned the 2020 destruction of their own country by the entrenched elite.
Trump is accused of being a “strongman” or a “caudillo”, but 2020 proves it is the Clintons, McConnells, Bidens, Bushes and Pelosis who are the largely-despised and clearly incompetent leaders who could not care less if the country goes to ruin as long as they don’t lose their slices of privilege.
2020 has removed the emperor’s clothes: the US is a banana republic, and the one interest which predominates is not fruit but elite privilege.
“Privilege” is not a word one hears in the United States: the Iranian Islamic Revolution was openly “anti-privilege”, but this term (when used politically) is so foreign that it is not at all comprehended by the average American, I have found. So, clearly, the problem is cultural and not just limited to the area around Washington DC.
Regardless, in the 21st century votes must be made. Or not made – by not voting an American does indeed give powerful ammunition to non-Americans to assert that this current US system is domestically rejected. But the decisions of Washington’s duopoly in 2020 are absolutely incomprehensible unless one considers the possibility that they are not at all concerned with the citizenry.
The lack of a 2nd stimulus is incomprehensible and completely shameful, but both parties are clearly behind it. All of the “Trump Derangement Syndrome” of the past four years cannot explain the actions of the Democratic Party since March.
And make no mistake: an additional $1,200 – if it does somehow arrive – is totally inadequate, given the prices in the US: From March until October $1,200 works out to less than $7 per day. Trust me that the average American is screaming every day about this paltry sum, even if their Mainstream Media prefers to talk about stock prices every hour.
The reality is that the redistribution of wealth which we are discussing – a “People’s QE” – is something which the US has only seen one of, ever. Why should we expect the right-wing, dog-eat-dog American system to release a second tranche of direct aid to privilege-less American households?
Economically, culturally and politically the United States is lost in the modern wilderness – how very far gone they are? But in just a few weeks they could cast a single vote to change one of these things immediately, but not with a vote for a Republican or a Democrat.

There is no way to change the system the wealthy have put in place and it affects all three branch’s of the government,the high court is nothing but a political ball to be tossed back and forth,even getting back to the constitution will do little good, as its now an outdated document, and it shows it with the easy way which the politicians get around it.Its going to take a completely new constitution in order to clean up the mess that we the people have permitted to take root and like a cancer infects everything it touch’s.!!!

“… a “winner take all” system means that third parties can make no incremental gains…”. Unfortunately this mentality prevails from top to bottom in the US, and is an unfortunate characteristic of the American way of life.
In 1776 the US was created by Rothschild’s controlled freemasons, and some of them were also slave owners. The Republic was created by the rich for the rich, and the HQ of the freemasons in Washington D.C. assures this. What has been happening since 1971, when Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard, has not only been vast money printing, but the transfer of wealth was assured for the US elite. And what do we have today ? The US resembles a feudal state, ruled by robber barons, something you also see in Ukraine. Anybody who knows history will know that such a situation cannot last, as this leads to uprisings. The elite knows it too. After the 9/11 inside job, the Homelands Security Act was introduced, placing the police forces of the country under military jurisdiction in case of emergencies. In other words, both the police and military will be used in case the modern peasants stage an uprising. This attitude can lead to some very nasty results.
A second stimulous sent to ordinary Americans may be essential, but fails to address the underlying problems. As long as the underlying problems of corruption and fraud fail to be addressed, the need for stimulous is never going to end.
From the very start, I have requested the prosecution of the corrupt and a single check of $20,000 sent to every American citizen to spend as they choose within legal limits.
The stock market must be abolished. The Federal Reserve must be abolished, it only serves the wealthy at the expense of everyone else. The Federal, State, Local governments, and surveillance state/police state are inherently corrupt, lazy-assed, self-serving, fat cat, entitled, privelaged, elitistsIts that must be fired from their jobs for heinous parasitism and corruption!
Then, when we get governments that actually serves the public rather than themselves, the prosecutions for corporate fraud, consumer fraud, predation, and treason can begin.
Unfortunately, I would place the likelyhood of that happening at approximately .0000000001%
Andrea Iravani
Also, from the beginning I have insisted that there would not be corporate or financial sector bailouts, or government bail outs.
The Anglo-Zionist Empire has been around for hundreds of years, Ramin, way before there was even a USA and way before the Republican and Democratic parties ever came into being. That these parties are still around in name only is that both of them have been totally co-opted by the Zionist banksters who started out financing all European wars, the slave trade, and the European colonization and exploitation of pretty much the entire planet. To expect these parties to suddenly become populist is just plain crazy. Yes, there was that burst of populism brought about in the 1930s by Roosevelt and the best vice president we have ever had, Henry Wallace, but the New Deal was slowly demolished so that by the 1980s it was totally dead and gone. Both parties had a hand in its demise.
The best hope for the world is the new Belt and Road Initiative that for your country, Iran, will be a life-saver. They will have given the big F-you to dollar tyranny and the punitive sanctions that crazy so-called Christian Zionists like Pompeo are determined to impose on nations that Israel doesn’t like. Every war the USA has been involved with in this century is because of Israel and the Zionists, not because of terrorism, oil, or any other phony pretext.
Here in the USA we are waiting for the “October surprise”, the false-flag attack that will be blamed on Iran, just like 9/11 was blamed on the Arabs. Once again we’ll be led over the cliff into what this time might be WWIII with the Ruskies, all because Pompeo and Pence have a hard-on for Armageddon and Trump is looking for anything that will keep him out of prison. May Heaven save us from the wrath of the so-called Christian Zionists!
Nationalize the major banks and hedge funds, claw back their money out of the Wall St casinos, and distribute to the people. Problem solved, no extra stimulus required. In truth, their stimulus should have been our stimulus in the first place. Then implement a hefty wealth (not income!) tax on those worth over ~$5M or so and listen to the piggies squeal. What’s that smell Martha? Oh nothing dear, just the smell of bacon fat rendering in the pan.
Supporting Democrats is a serious political disorder, like alcoholism or returning again & again to an abusive spouse, who repeatedly lies to you. It’s easy to fall off the wagon, to make excuses & rationalizations for it.
Even many whose views are developed enough to recognize such truths as the fundamental rottenness of the 2-party system & the complicity of Democrats in all of the Republicans’ major crimes, are still unable to
draw the logical consequences of these insights. (Those so naive that they still conceive of Democrats as being the “opponents” of
Republicans are another case altogether.)
The central point is this: capitalist society permits the Democrats to be one of the 2 allowed parties for a very definite reason. It’s not because the Democrats “serve the people.” It’s because in a subtle but effective way, they help the capitalists keep the populace under control by providing them with the illusion of possible change. TPTB don’t want the people “served.” They want them managed, or controlled.
It is the job, the central social function of the Democrats to always be dangling before the people’s noses vague pseudo-hints of possible
change, so as to keep them from bolting from bourgeois politics altogether. It is the Democrats’ intention to never deliver meaningful change, but rather to keep dangling hints of it alluringly forever. This produces control, a populace habituated to remain safely within the lines required by ruling class interests.
This is why the Democrats never paint a picture of US history that’s
the slightest bit accurate, they want a brainwashed population every bit as much as the Republicans do. This is why they never are willing to set forth an honest socioeconomic analysis of why things are as they are, they much prefer that people not understand such things.
As long as a large chunk of voters can be deceived by the seemingly “nicer guy” act of the Democrats, there is no hope whatever of coming to grips with the core problems of our society. The most dangerous trends are grotesque social inequality, and an uncontrollable propaganda/war machine, cannot even be approached within the framework of bourgeois politics, because they all serve ruling class interests.This is what is really being protected, when people opt to support Democrats just because they seem less blatantly cruel on TV.
The question is, why would tax payers in Texas want to bail out liberal governments in other states?This is the real robbery that takes place in America. Tax the competent and give it to the incompetent. Until that changes there will never be a level playing field in American political spending. They could change this by changing the rules in Congress. Bills should be single item with no pork attachable.
The majority of Americans can care less about the political hubris. America will get by no matter what.
What is the test I am observing is what will come of this covid-19 interference on American life. The great barrington declaration is going to grow legs and really become blowback to all those political hacks showing their contempt for freedom of people in this republic.
Our enemies are within and they are soon to find out the anger from the people who are going to remove them from office.
Yes the corruption is great in government. But life still goes on.
We must all realize, the American middle class still has it “too good”. The U.S. political system is working just fine. This year more billionaires got a record number of billions like never before. Be prepared if you are making less than 100K a year as you all will be further downsized.

They want to crush small businesses.
They have wanted that for a long time.
Patience, Ramin.
This election is not the “same old, same old”. Far from it
Nor is this ridiculous “dog and pony show” two party system eternal.
We’re in this for the long haul….and the Dangling Chrump Change of $1200 and Pelosi’s Obstruction of it…… are neither one…. the gist of the matter, which is far, far larger.
Which is Demolishing the Fake Dem vs Rep “Party Politics” used to corrupt the American System of Hamilton, the father son economist duo of Mathew and Henry C Carey, E Peshine Smith (who introduced it to Japan…..which was also courted simultaneously by the once consciously to Americans (at the time….not so much since McKinley’s assassination) ENEMY….British “Free Trade” (as in Opium) System………….. is actually a necessary means to the far larger end goal:
The End of Empire…..and the return of repulicanism……….with a small “r”.
George Washington warned of parties and their self-serving cronies and a growing number of Americans that are too young to remember the snarlingly defiant Alabama governor George (“Segregation Now, Segregation Tomorrow, Segregation FOREVER!”) got that totally wrong………but got ONE THING 100% correct in his first of 3 Independent Party runs for President when he said,
“There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the Democrat and Republican Parties.”
The great irony is that the second quote resonated much more, nationally than the first quote, clinging as it did to a tradition already “Gone with With Wind” making it a mistake Wallace actually atoned for by serving all Alabamans, including blacks, so ably that he got MOST of their votes.
From https://www.biography.com/political-figure/george-wallace …..this paragraph:
“From the late 1970s onward, Wallace attempted to revise his public image by modifying his previous position on race issues. He claimed that many of his statements had been misunderstood, and he emphasized his populist leanings. In some cases, he issued public apologies for his earlier actions. By the time of his fourth term as Alabama governor, he’d begun receiving a substantial amount of support from Black political organizations and Black voters. His efforts to improve the state’s economy, health care, employment and infrastructure were considered highly successful.”
Thus, like Huey “Every Man A King” Long decades before him despite Wall Street and the only slightly less Imperial (CFR…CIA dominated) Liberal “News” Media those two “Democrats” with their affinity perhaps for Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis ……were more complex and positive than simply that………..and atoned for their racial “issues” a great deal more than Hypocrite “You ain’t black if you vote for Trump” Joe Biden ever has…..or ever will.
WAY too late for that now!
I don’t think the Democrat Party will survive the Landslide that is coming Nov 3. Kamala and Joe already KNOW they have lost….SO: this is not a serious campaign….it is a defensive effort to avoid or delay prosecution for their ENTIRE treasonous Deep State support apparatus…not just Joe and Hunter….as long as possible…allowing time to cook up other “Hail Mary” desperation efforts like the 25th Amendment……”Trump’s Crazy….We and the Media say so…and you HAVE to agree…..or we’ll call you crazy (and worse) as well!.”….for AFTER they lose..”Plan Y” for 2021 ……I call it…………. OR…..”Nancy’s Numerology Nonsense”.
Publicly announced this past Friday, October 9 ….exactly 25 days before the Election.
Y being the 25th Letter of the Alphabet.
They are down to their Last Resort ……Of Casting Satanic Spells….to “lower the vibration”..of their intended victims. LOL. NO, not Nancy or Joe or Kamala who are just corrupt as hell gangsters.
The Occult Priesthood of the New World Order…………that run them “from the shadows”.
However enough of THOSE demons!
Because I will now make the outlandish statement that the Republican Party..ALSO …and quite likely the Federal Reserve may not survive past 2024 if the largely invisible presidential apparatus that requested the DJT candidacy in 2016 ……….and foiled several assassination attempts against his life and the longest lasting most egregiously treasonous and lying political coup attempt in US history………. is not thwarted by his taking his last breath…..a bit too soon…… to achieve those known (to some who have their ears to the ground and have not been rendered stone cold deaf by TDS) objectives.
Cheers!
Hey, Bro, what exactly is this “largely invisible presidential apparatus that requested the DJT candidacy in 2016?” Are you talking about some other dimension here? I know String Theory suggests that there are at least 11 dimensions, only 4 of which we know squat about, but you seem to be talking about something otherworldly, beyond time and space, as if this shit show of an election will somehow change everything, like Heaven on Earth. Please elaborate. My ear is to the ground but I hear nothing.
Now that I think about it, the “largely invisible presidential apparatus” that you must be referring to is obviously the Israeli/Likudnik/Zionist control of US elections that none of us goys can say a word about in the current political milieu. That’s certainly not other-worldly and solidly in the here and now. Sorry, Bro, my mistake.
The 2020 election pageant represents the first time that gaslighting by both political parties (actually the two faux wings of the same political party) has gone mainstream. Worked so well for Trump in 2016, that the faux liberal Dems – always the egg-head slow learners – had to adopt it too. So to out-Trump Trump, they got together and asked themselves who the most improbable, unlikely, and utterly contemptible candidate(s) they could possibly puke out to rub the voters’ noses in their own shit for voting Trump in 2016, and of course the two turds who floated to the top of the bowl – a dead man walking and another safe token minority ID pol candidate – stand before us now ready to receive our approval. The thing to ask ourselves is, what do normal civilized people normally do with a toilet bowl of smelly, vile, and utterly disgusting shit? You damn sure don’t let it sit there and fester for four long years, savoring the aromatic stench all the while. You flush it, of course! Rational voters Just Say No when presented with such disgusting options. Until ‘No Confidence’ becomes a legitimate ballot choice, I will quite rationally simply refuse to participate in this reality show charade.
Great metaphor, a toilet that needs to be flushed. But, this toilet will never be flushed. It wasn’t designed to be flushed. It will only be buried in the sands of time like what’s happened to every other corrupt decadent empire that has come and gone on this fragile planet.
What will come in its place will have to be fast on its feet, and most assuredly local. As Peter Koenig said, “De-dollarize and de-globalize and turn to local production for local consumption with local sovereign money and local public banking, directed by a sovereign local central bank that works for the socioeconomic wellbeing of her country’s people, not for the faraway shareholders of a Wall Street or internationally affiliated banks.”
Good article describing the rot, the corruption, self-dealing of the two political parties.
Also would note, with a couple of exceptions, that most comments herein are also spot on in noting the utter and complete corruption, the arrogance, of the parties. If these comments are indicative of the total disgust in the country with the “system,” than I would wonder what it is going to take for the blow back to begin.
However, I am pessimistic that the sheeple will ever get sufficiently organized to mount resistance to this total take over by the elite oligarchs.
One could step back and wonder why any one would willingly vote for the dimocrats or for that matter the corrupt thugs currently in power on the repug side. However, I did post a link over on MSM column from casey in describing step by step how the Bolsheviks, um dimos, will seize power. He believes they will be successful.
The article’s steps do have plausibility but as he notes, to vote for the dimos or repugs is a choice between tuberculosis or cancer. The one thing unknown at this time is how far trump will go, if he is in charge of his admin (a big IF), to retain power and stay out of jail. The other side of the question, of course, is how successful the apparatchiks in the dimos will be in shutting down the system while they take the steps described in the article.
Fairly disturbing trend in this article with details that more and more believe that violence in the streets is the answer for the political impasse. Gun sales are off the charts, rifle ranges are over crowded, etc.

“the US is a banana republic”
This about sums up my feeling about the United States. There is a trick that allows a third party voter to “not waste their vote”: vote pairing. This is where either a Democrat and a Republican voter agree to cast their votes for third parties or a swing state and a non-swing state voter swap their votes, meaning the former votes for a Republicrat and the latter votes for a third party. Vote pairing does depend on having a trustworthy partner.
Some people are trying to organize a left-wing alternative to the Democrats for 2024, if the U.S. hasn’t disintegrated by then. I hope they can get somewhere.
To buttress Ramin’s analysis, I highly suggest watching this Rengade Inc episode, “The War Hawks Come Home to Roost,” where Dan Kovalik shares his thesis that “the government has declared war on the nation,” the government being held captive by Neoliberal Financial Parasites of the type so well described by Michael Hudson in his Killing the Host.
With the example set by the rich men and large corporations led by President Trump of not paying taxes and wanting at all costs to hide their wealth for that purpose, there is no hope that society will improve.
Finally, someone properly addressed the topic that concerns all of us who happen to live in the U.S.
Thank you Ramin Mazaheri.
Following eagerly the news every single day about the prospective “stimulus 2” check (another $1,200, supposedly) since mid-May, I have finally concluded that its issuance is the very last thing that is on mind of either of the “two” corrupt parties (“two parties – one swamp”). Their all-in-the-family “elections” (=internecine power squabble for the swamp, charade for the sheeple) is three weeks away – and for getting that check before or after it I now see only three chances: fat chance, slim chance, and no chance.
Very thoughtful article.
Until the government taxes the foundations, the ultra-rich will continue to rule. Whether it is Gates, Soros, Buffet, Clinton or McCain they just dump things into their foundations without paying any capital gains or other taxes. Then they just spend money on things they wanted to spend on anyhow. The politicians say “soak the rich”, or “rich must pay their fair share” etc etc. Not one single senator or representative will give up their own tax exclusions or tax free pensions. In the final analysis it is all of the middle class that winds up getting screwed. The hypocritical rich who mouth that they should be paying more only have to right a check to the government for what they claim they should pay. But none ever do. They sprout these nice sounding slogans, but behind our backs make sure they don’t pay anywhere near what the middle class and lower classes pay.
After JFK, ALL of the presidential candidates were/are Stable Boys of the Zionists. If muricans have not caught on to this, then cockroaches are more intelligent.
Chaucer,
Did you know that the reason that Zionism was supported was a Rockefeller plan? Rockefeller created the CIA, and it was literally referred to as The Rockefeller Office prior to its CIA name. Rockefeller used the holocaust as an emotional appeal to support Israel, and then worked in collusion with Zionists for Middle Eastern oil. The Rockefellers realized that Americans would not support war in the Middle East if it was strictly for oil, unlike Donld Trump, who said that we are there for the oil, and also outrageously asked, ” Whatever happened to- To the victors go the spoils?” The Rockefellers have caused more harm to the world as well as to America than any other family on earth, now it is Bill Gates and the new people to watch out for are Silicon Valley tycoons. They are the most audaciously brazen people that I have ever witnessed in action. They do not really even attempt to hide it. Covid has been used by them, which was also originally a Rockefeller idea, but David Rockefeller is dead, so he can’t be blamed that they ran with his idea after he died. It is the most horrifying rape of the entire world and every country on earth all at once, with deals made with governments in lockdowns in all countries except Sweden, Belarus, and Nicargua. The billionaires are all in on this together from around the world, including in “communist” China. You share with Jack Ma. It’s a one way street type of communism.

1st: The average American is destroying himself.
2nd: Could it be that the division in the country is too great to fast track such a bill? No malice intended just polarization?
I’m guessing you don’t live here.
We are excited for Nov 4 (the morning after) because we are rooting for President Trump.
We, who do not live in the US, know that we will have one hell of a reality show, as the color revolutions that the US has foisted upon other countries, will all come home to roost on the originator. We will be cheering merrily as the mayhem, hatred, killing sprees spread from sea to shining sea.
“We will be cheering merrily as the mayhem, hatred, killing sprees spread from sea to shining sea.”
I will not be doing anything of the sort. I will not be cheering for mayhem, hatred or killing sprees, not in the US, or anywhere else.
First of all, whatever is happening in the USA is exactly what the elite there want. The idea that things are out of control in the US is nonsense.
And second, the American people are guilty of nothing except ignorance and stupidity, and perhaps eating too much junk food in front of the TV. It is not their fault that they were nine eleven’d into invading the Middle East, and certainly no average American citizen is accountable for any color revolutions anywhere.
Your hate and frustration is misplaced. This is what the enemy wants, for everyone to hate each other, because a World War is coming, and the more hate, the more killing and destruction.
The true enemy is hidden, because they are a cowardly bunch that would be crying for their mothers at the first punch. They are Jared Kushner types, and Mark Zuckerberg types, and George Soros types, and Sheldon Adelson types.
They act tough because they have slave armies. But they are nothing, and they know it, which is why they feel insecure, and so they hide, and surround themselves with brainwashed slaves.
Instead of whatever it is the American people are doing right now, hiding in lockdown from Covid, or killing each other in the streets, or whatever, they ought to be gathering all the Zionists and putting them on trial and holding them accountable, Nuremberg style.
But alas, they are in the streets killing each other. Exactly what the elite want.
@ Jamshyd
“… the American people are guilty of nothing except ignorance and stupidity …”
“Nothing except”… What more on earth do you need?… Stupidity is a basic genetic defect, and Mother Nature has an implacable way of addressing it in time. We are now already witnessing Her culling action.
As for the rest that you said, you are correct.
Human beings are members of a whole
In creation of one essence and soul
If one member is afflicted with pain
Other members uneasy will remain
If you have no sympathy for human pain
The name of human you cannot retain

@Jamshyd
” the American people are guilty of nothing except ignorance and stupidity, ”
That is not for you to say, nor for I to say, what they are guilty of or what they are not guilty of. Let KARMIC JUSTICE judge and do her thing. Let us see what SHE has in store for the muricans. Perhaps it would enlighten you if you read one of Andre Vltchek’s essay outlining his experience when he was invited to California to speak about his work. muricans simply refuse to see the TRUTH and chose to live in doll houses. Again there is this relevant essay in off-guardian about muricans living in doll houses. Now they will be rip off from their doll houses. KARMIC JUSTICE, do your thing.
Chaucer,
How is it karmic justice?
A foreign people come to your land. They take over your country. They make you work like slaves, and they unfairly tax you. Your work, and your taxes, make them rich and powerful, while you become wretched and impoverished.
They feed you awful GMOs, chemicals and pesticides, and junk food. They get millions of you addicted to opioids, just for the hell of it. They bombard you with lies and disinformation, constantly, 24/7. They control your behavior through TV and social media. They send your children to the Middle East to die for someone else’s cause.
They fill your head with ideas of your racial superiority and “USA #1!!!”, while you get morbidly obese and cancerous, and your country can no longer offer you the opportunities that it provided your parents and grandparents.
And now, you say that “mayhem, hatred, and killing sprees” is karmic justice?
Are you actually on the side of the oppressors? Because I would imagine they are the ones that need some karmic justice, whatever that means.
If it is not for us to decide what others are guilty of, it is certainly not up to us to determine their karma either.
It doesn’t matter how stupid Americans are, or how many wrong turns they’ve been led to take, they are still human beings, and they can realize their mistakes and change their path. And surely there are many in the USA who are, in fact, very good people. You will condemn them all to mayhem and hatred and killing sprees? And the children too?
Get off your high horse. The attitude you are exhibiting here is just as distasteful as any American refusing to see some truth, or whatever.
Their guilty – this is a nation that dropped napalm on kids and is proud of the military who did it. Many may also be ignorant and stupid due to a dumbed down media but thats a different point.
If you re-elect people who literarily kill millions then your guilty, Maybe other people around the world are not much better but that would make them guilty too.
Just check in with reality here, they killed maybe 3 million people in Iraq and have openly declared that the will destroy the Iranian economy just for fun. And their proud of the ability to do it, just as long as the victims can fight back.
Claiming its OK to kill millions just because your ignorant and stupid just isn’t good enough.
So, because Americans kill, we should advocate the killing of Americans? I say leave them be, they are not important. America is just a circus clown show meant to distract right now.
And the other issue, just because they vote does not mean they are free. Others are dictating their values to them. The USA is not a democracy, so no, I don’t believe the people are accountable.
The thing is, we are fighting a non-human enemy, as far fetched as it sounds, it’s all over every holy book of every people that ever lived.
Do not let yourself be led down the path of fighting your fellow man, or advocating the killing of your fellow man, for you will just be doing the enemy’s bidding.
The American people have not pledged allegiance to Ahriman-Azazel, they are simply ignorant and stupid, as I’ve said before. But the Zionists are not ignorant or stupid, and they have willingly entered into a pact with the enemy of mankind.
Zionists are a power block in the US. As they are in many countries around the world. Russia for example or the UK as another.
This does not mean they control every facet of American life or are responsible for every ill. This is a gross oversimplification of the issues.
Sometimes the Zionists have carried out their crimes as part of alliances or in service to other power blocks (for example the military industrial complex and the Zionists work hand in hand in many respects but they are not one in te same). The Zionist media works for the US Intelligence agencies and deep state frequently but it also has its own agendas as well.
What is sad is that the average American much like the average UK citizen has been so brainwashed by the Zionist media (yes that is indeed an industry they show overwhelming control) looking at any of these issues objectively would require the average citizen to become completely red pilled and turn their brain inside out. No easy task.
How do you reckon that Zionists who dominate major industries like banking, media, and pharmaceuticals, among other things, do not dominate the MIC?
They are not a power block. They hold monopoly on printing money, which means they own everything, including the MIC.
These are very nebulous claims.
How do you know they have control of money printing?
If we take the structure of the Fed (the supposed money printers) as an example there are many goy board members. Many other members are representatives of banks and their shareholders which are not monothically all Zionists. This is simply proven false on its face by examining the boards of many member banks. No doubt there Zionists in the fed but how do I (or you) know they control it?
So not that I even disagree with you but how do you provide evidence for such a claim as they “control money printing”?
The Zionists work on alliances. Control is very hard to maintain. Alliances are self reinforcing… For example Christian Zionism. They don’t control Christian mega churches or fundamentalist Christian preachers instead they have learned how to ally their causes with them to provide them with something to their benefit in exchange for something they benefit from.
My evidence, as I have said before elsewhere, is based on the fact that Iran has been excluded from the global banking network. To me this means that the banking network is a single cohesive structure, and to gain entry you must be on good terms with the Zionists and Israel.
If the USA had the power to exclude anyone from this network, they would have done so with Russia and China. But Russia and China, while enemies of the USA, are on very good terms with Israel, and as such are allowed to take part in international trade and commerce. Iran cannot.
The head of Iran-China chamber of commerce has recently made a statement that if someone with an Iranian passport goes to the bank in China or Russia, they will be denied any financial services. This is in addition to there being no banking transactions between Iran and Russia or China.
As a citizen of the world, you can go to pretty much any country and swipe your card and buy things. This includes China and Russia, mind you, but not Iran. Iranians, on the other hand, can’t go anywhere and get any kind of financial services. An Iranian bank card is practically useless outside of Iran.
There is never going to be plain and simple evidence of Zionist domination of the global banking sector for the average person to find on Google, I don’t think.
But from the actions of global players, one can draw inferences. For example, The USA regularly hands over US tax payer money to Israel on a silver platter. And the USA has bankrupted itself over foreign wars for Israel.
Engaging in trade with Iran is beneficial for the EU, and yet they are barred from doing so. Why does the EU not act in its own best interest?
Because the EU is not sovereign, neither is the US. They are beholden to another, a shadowy player. And I think it is clear that the shadow player has absolute dominion over them.
Do you hear many US or EU politicians criticize Israel? What happens to those that do, like Jeremy Corbyn? Is there any other country that Western politicians are not allowed to criticize?
