FALSE DEMOCRACY

P. GREANVILLE—As longstanding supporters of The Grayzone, just about one  of the few consistently reliable antiwar/anti-imperialist outfits in what remains of the Western left, we are delighted to see their work making headway and headlines, especially among our common enemies. Contrary to all the noise, there is absolutely zero reason for the constant hysterical hostility, and even less for the talk of war, against Russia, China, Iran and other nations singled out by the empire for imaginary crimes fully manufactured by the West’s engines of disinformation. The world and especially Washington and Britain face no threat whatsoever from the currently designated  “rogue nations”, except the threats they themselves create.  Meanwhile, via a transparent regimen of suffocating mendacity, Washington, London and their imperialist accomplices seek to demonise their opponents by any means necessary. This is serious. We all know from painful experience with the Big Hegemon’s playbook that character assassination usually precedes actual execution.

International law is quite clear about every countrys right to self determination, yet, at least in the anglophone media, no one mentions that the US/UK/EU sanctions are completely illegal and an atack on the sovereignty of the targeted nations.

How to define the word “reality”? Something like this: The state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them. To say the least, this is a philosophical definition. Let’s throw in politics now. Is there one political reality? Can and should one be enforced? Would this, in the end, produce a Ministry of Truth?

BILLY BOB—With red and blue falsely depicted as opposite ends of the political spectrum, blue achievement is seen as red loss and vice versa. This tug of war is stage-managed by class conscious establishmentarians whose prime directive is to ensure that neither side “wins” thereby maintaining the system’s viability and perpetuity. Though differences exist between the two parties, they amount to little more than strategic disagreements over how to best consolidate capitalist class power and maintain their system. Their respective platforms are in a continuous state of flux and not adhered to in any event if contradiction and hypocrisy can result in partisan gain. Such a system would not exist if not for the overwhelming political ignorance of the American public–an ignorance which is facilitated and encouraged by the ruling capitalist establishment that has every incentive not to develop an informed and politically astute citizenry.

This passionate rant by the inimitable Fiorella Isabel just blew me away. The uncomfortable truths about the pseudo left and the incoming repression of the authentic left, the criminal Democrats (and their roten duopoly) have rarely been laid out as clearly and forcefully as in this presentation. Not to mention Fiorella’s robust denunciations of American imperialism, something the preening, pretentious rascals and phonies strutting around claiming to be real left haven’t done in generations. We have been warned. The authentic left is fortunate to have champions like Fiorella Isabel in its ranks.
