P. GREANVILLE—In recent days we have published a number of posts focusing on the central issue that should concern anyone subject to a ruling class that does not represent their interests, or which, more often than not, is criminally inimical to their interests. Fine minds like Garland Nixon and Joti Brar (see here, for example), historian Eric Zuesse, and the Blowback/Billy Bob roundtable —inter alia—have provided great explorations of this topic, but the complexity of the US imperial ruling class makes it hard to pin down. This a historically unusual class due to its many layers of hypocrisy, an enormous machinery of distraction and deception, the diversity and dispersion of its interlocking power centers (conjuring up the “Deep State”), and its sheer overall size.

A wide-ranging discussion by Garland Nixon and Joti Brar on the tasks ahead to save humanity from the collapse of imperialism, a process that connotes constant wars, increased repression, and the immiseration of the working class across the globe. Garland also dissects the Neocon’s “Narcissist” personality which suits the empire to a “T”, given the US empire’s pathological arrogance, criminality, and complete lack of empathy, among other narcissistic traits. Incidentally, even Google accepts that: “Marxist–Leninist states are commonly referred to as “communist states” by Western academics. Marxist–Leninists reject anarchism and left communism, as well as reformist socialism and social democracy. They oppose fascism and liberal democracy, and are anti-imperialists.”

ERIC ZUESSE—In accord with Hitler’s famous “Big Lie” technique of deceiving the masses as any dictatorship needs to do, Germany’s proposed resumption of WW II by means of its now coming to allegedly lead Europe to the restoration of America’s Cold War against communism but this time instead against two nations (Russia and China) that both are independent nations and consequently more democratic than any nation in the U.S. (or any) empire can even possibly be — including Germany itself (with its 231 U.S. military bases) — starts from false assumptions.

EDITOR—If you have wondered why all of a sudden TV audiences are being flooded with commercials that improbably include every race under the sun and every hue, gender, sexual orientation, and color that nature created, but rarely whites, or straight couples, Garland Nixon has the answer: it’s all a cynical ploy by the US ruling class to sell the utterly ridiculous idea that the American empire has already built a totally (and absurdly) sexually liberated, multi-racially harmonious and happily integrated society.

GARLAND NIXON—Garland argues that Seldowitz, morally repugnant as he is, may be accidentally doing us all a favor as, due to his own arrogance and probably stupidity, and feeling himself backed by the Israeli-Western empire establishment, is showing the true face of the Empire, and why it requires ever increasing amounts of huge lies and coercion to maintain its legitimacy. Now that he’s basically outed himself Seldowitz is no longer of much use to the empire, so he may be relegated to obscurity—but one never knows in a system built on criminality. In a sense, suggests Garland, Seldowitz resembles Trump, also a figure to be distrusted by the ruling elites, due to his loose canon propensity to tell embarrassing truths about the establishment.
