Fluttering in the Empire’s Hot Air

- When
I think of the recent developments in the USA
(Dallas shooting, Orlando shooting) and Europe
(Nice, murdered priest, Germany shooting) I get this
unpleasant feeling that something is not quite
right. For one thing, the perpetrators are
absolutely ridiculous: pseudo-Muslims who turn out
to be drinking homosexuals, ex-patients of mental
institutions – the kind of people I call “overnight
Muslims”: they all make darn sure to say Allahu
Akbar a number of times, but other than that,
they have no sign of Islam at all. In fact, far from
being trained Daesh fighters, they are all
losers with weak personalities. Exactly the
kind of people the special services (and religious
sects) like to prey on because they are weak and
easy to manipulate. Oh yes, I know, the good folk a
Daesh do end up claiming that the perpetrator is one
of them, but that really proves nothing (except
maybe that Daesh is desperate to increase its
notoriety).
I have no
proof of that, of course, but I am getting the very
strong feeling that somebody is putting great deal
of effort to scare the bejesus out of the
TV-watching crowd. But why? Why would anybody go to
the effort to create a completely fictional threat?
And should
we really dismiss all the innumerable witnesses who
speak of “more than one shooter”? What about the
absolutely ridiculous police “overkill” when hundred
of policemen are sent in to deal with one single
shooter. Does that not strike you as odd? Am I the
only one with the feeling that what is shown to us
is a carefully choreographed show?
Then there
is the canard about the Islamic threat. Okay, it is
true that all these islamo-terrorists told the cops,
and anybody else willing to listen, that they are
killing infidels for the greater glory of God. That
reminds me of the passports helpfully found in NY on
9/11 (and at the Charlie-Hebdo attacks) or how the
alleged Islamic-terrorists of 9/11 left copies of
the Quran in the bars were they were getting “lap
dances”. The problem with all that nonsense is that
there is exactly zero real evidence that any of
these terrorists had any real Islamic education or
beliefs. Besides, even if every single one of them
turned out to be a deeply religious and pious
Muslim, that would hardly prove anything. The IRA
was “Roman Catholic” and yet nobody spoke of a
“Catholic threat”. True, there is a very real threat
to the entire Middle-East from the Daesh crazies
(yes, the very same ones whom the US wants the
Russians to stop bombing), but there is no evidence
whatsoever of any real subordination/coordination
between the Takfiris in the Middle-East and the
perpetrators of the recent mass murders in the USA
and Europe.
The cui
bono, of course, immediately points to those
interests who desperately want the prop-up the shaky
“Islamic threat” myth: the Zionists, of course, but
also the Neocons elites in the USA and the EU.
Think of
it: their great hope was that Russia would “invade”
the Donbass (or, even better, the entire Ukraine)
and liberate it from the Nazi crazies the Neocons
put in power in Kiev. Such a Russian move would have
been used as a “proof” that the evil revanchist
Russkies are about to rebuilt to Soviet Union,
invade Eastern Europe and maybe even drive their
tanks to the English channel. And if enough people
would buy the “Russian threat” theory, they would
also have to accept larger military budgets (to
further fatten the US MIC) and more US forces
deployed in Eastern Europe (where they would provide
a much needed, and sometimes only, source of
income). Then all the internal problems of Europe
could be blamed on, or at least eclipsed by, the
Russian threat (in the “Putin wants a Brexit”
style). But that irritating Putin did not take the
bait and now Europe is stuck without a credible
threat to terrorize people with. NATO, of course,
and its prostitute-colonies in the Baltics and
Poland, likes to pretend that a Russian invasion is
imminent, but nobody really believes this. According
to some polls, even the people in the Baltics are
dubious about the reality of a Russian threat
(forget Poland: a country with a national hero like
Pilsudski is a hopeless case).
But then,
almost at the same moment when the Neocons came to
realize that the Russians were not taking the bait,
the steady flow of refugees coming from the
Middle-East and Africa suddenly sharply increased,
courtesy of the mayhem and chaos created by the
Neocon policies in the Middle-East. How long do you
think it took the rulers of the Empire to realize
the fantastic opportunity this influx of refugees
had just created for them?
First, this
wave of refugees creates a series of major social
problems which all could be used to provide
distractions from the massive credibility crisis and
economic woes of the EU. No matter how bad the
economic indicators are, you can always “hide them”
behind a headline like “Refugee
rapes 79yo woman at German cemetery” (true case,
just click on the link to see for yourself).
Second,
just at the time when the ruling comprador
elites of the EU are threatened by popular
discontent, the refugee crisis creates the perfect
pretext to adopt emergency legislation and,
possibly, introduce martial law.
Third, the
worse the crisis in Europe becomes, the better it is
for the US Dollar which becomes the safe(r) currency
to run to.
Fourth the
more military units, as opposed to regular police
forces, are deployed in Europe, the more the
Europeans will get used to the notion that “only the
military can protect us”.
Fifth, if,
at the end of the day, the EU really tanks and
riots, uprisings and chaos spread – guess who will
show up to “save Europe yet again”? That’s right –
Uncle Sam and NATO. Pretty good mission for an
otherwise illegitimate leftover from the Cold War,
no?
Ideally,
the European population should become polarized
between, on one hand, those who pretend like the
refugees are no problem at all, and those who blame
everything on them. The more polarized the society
becomes, the more there will be a “need” to keep law
and order.
Does that
all look familiar to you?
Yes, of
course, this is also exactly what is happening in
the USA with the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.
While there
are plenty of immigrants in the USA, they are
mostly Hispanics and Asians who adapt rather
well to the US society. The good news for the US
“deep state” is that Blacks in the USA can very much
accomplish the same function as the refugees do in
Europe: they are a vocal, mostly deeply alienated
minority, with a great deal of pent-up anger against
the rest of society which can very easily be set-off
to create riots and commit crimes. It is also rather
easy to find a few crazies amongst these Blacks to
start murdering policemen (the ideal symbol of the
oppressive White establishment) and create a sense
of crisis acute enough justify the use of police,
National Guard and, potentially, military forces to
restore and uphold “law and order”.
Is it
really a coincidence that the US Presidential
elections features extremely polarizing figures like
Hillary and Trump and that low-levels of violence
have already been triggered by the hysterically
anti-Trump propaganda of the US corporate media?
Just imagine for one second what could happen in the
USA if a “lone gunman” was to kill either Hillary or
Trump? The society would literally explode and law
and order would have to be “restored”.
The
modalities might be different, but in both the EU
and the USA we now see heavily armed and generally
militarized forces in the streets to “protect” us
from some exotic and scary threat.
Might that
have something to do with the fact that the ruling
elites are absolutely hated by the vast majority of
Europeans and Americans? Of course it does!
I am
convinced that was is taking place is the gradually
suppression of the civil society under the pretext
of protecting it – us – from some very scary threat.
I am also convinced that part of this plan is to
polarize our society as much as possible to create
civil strife and to hide the real systemic and
structural problems of our completely dysfunctional
society and discredited and illegitimate political
order.
The
panem et circenses (bread and games) method
only works in a society capable of providing enough
wealth to its people to enjoy them. But when an
Empire is agonizing, when its military cannot win
wars anymore, when its leader is being ridiculed,
when its currency is being gradually weakened and
even replaced and when its power is not feared
anymore, then the Empire becomes unable to provide
the minimal conditions needed to keep its subjects
quiet and obedient. At this point the choice becomes
simple: either find an external enemy or, at least,
identify an internal one. This time around, the
AngloZionist found what they think is the perfect
combo: a diffuse/vague external threat (Islam) and
an easily identifiable internal “carrier” threat
(refugees in Europe, Blacks in the USA). The fact
that the US government has been planning for various
kind of emergency rule or martial law situations for
years is not much of a secret (see:
National Security Presidential Directive 51 and
National Continuity Policy Implementation Plan
or
Rex84 ) but now there is also evidence that
the Germans are also planning for it. In fact,
we can be confident that they are all doing it right
now as we speak.
The last
time around, when the Empire felt the need to regain
control over Europe and prevent the election of
anti-US political parties to power they engaged in
the notorious
GLADIO false flag campaign to neutralize the
“Communist threat” (see full documentary
here). It appears that the same people are doing
the
same thing again, but this time against the putative
“Islamic threat”. And just to make sure that the
common people really freak out, it appears that the
AngloZionists have settled on a rather
counter-intuitive plan:
1)
officially (politicians) condemn any anti-Islamic
rhetoric.
2)
unofficially (media, public figures) constantly warn
of the threat of Islamic extremism.
3) take
some highly visible but totally useless measures
(TSA, anti-terror training) to defend against an
Islamic attack.
4) covertly
but actively support Daesh-like Takfirism in the
Middle-East and oppose and subvert those who, like
the Russians, the Iranians and the Syrians, really
fight it on a daily basis.
What does
such an apparently illogical and self-defeating plan
achieve? Simple! It maximizes fear
and polarizes society.
That kind
of artificial polarization is nothing new. For
example, this is why those who hate Obama call him a
socialist (or even a communist) while those who hate
Trump call him a fascist (even though in reality
both Obama and Trump are just the figureheads of
different capitalist factions of the same 1%er
elite).
What our
imperial overlords really want is for us to either
fight each other or, at least, fight windmills. Look
at the American public – it is totally obsessed with
non-issues like homosexual marriage, gun control vs
“active shooters”, Black Lives Matter vs cops, and
the time tested pro-life vs anti-abortion protests.
To some minority of Americans these issues do
matter, I suppose, but for the vast majority of
Americans these are total non-issue, meaningless
crap which does not affect them in any way other
than through the corporate media. This really
reminds me of the Titanic’s orchestra playing while
the ship was sinking: the Empire is cracking at all
its seams, there is a very real chance of a nuclear
war with Russia and we are seriously discussing
whether
trannies should pee in male or female toilets when
in the Target store. This is crazy, of course,
but this is hardly coincidental. This is how our
leaders want us: terrified, confused and, above all,
distracted.
Frankly, I
am pessimistic for the near to mid-term future. When
I see how easily the “Islamic threat” canard has
been bought not only by official propagandists but
even by otherwise mostly rational and educated
people, I see that 9/11 has taught us very little.
Just like a bull in a bullfight we are still willing
to go after any red rag put before our noses
regardless of who is actually holding that rag or
actually making us bleed.
The good
news is that regardless of our gullible passivity
the Empire is coming down, maybe not as fast as some
of us would wish, but fast enough to really worry
our rulers. Look at the Israelis – they have already
read the writing on the wall and are now in the
process of changing patrons, hence their newfound
big friendship with Russia – a marriage of
convenience for both sides, entered into with both
sides holding their noses. Ditto for Erdogan who has
apparently decided that neither the EU nor the US
could be considered reliable protectors. Even the
Saudis have tried, however
clumsily and crudely, to get the Russians on
their side.
For the
time being the “Islamic threat” show will continue,
as will the “active shooters”, Black Lives Matter
and all the rest of the program brought to us by the
Empire. False flags will continue to flutter in
great numbers in the Empire’s hot air. |
