The Needs Of The State, Over All Else

But popular politics in an empire is no match for bureaucratic survival of an all consuming and powerful central state.  Putin’s move has delivered the happy and undeniable rationale for the immediate end of the U.S. warfare state, and has in one act, collapsed the core tenet of neoconservatism, the RNC and the DNC.  But the word on this isn’t yet out to the hinterlands, and we must expect that it will be directly suppressed and creatively propagandized by government media outlets as a rationale for even more Washington, D.C. spending, assertiveness, and militarism.  The leading presidential candidates will predictably use their platforms to articulate the needs of the state, over all else.

Washington D.C. is preparing to be burned.  The state’s terror may be due to how they learned to stop worrying and love the bomb, or growing fear of domestic revolts against the symbols of overweening government. I suspect that the state’s terror is the result of internecine bureaucratic warfare gone hot in a collapsing Empire’s desperate capital.  Terror within the (deep) state has an immediate symptom, and it is state terror.  With Russia directly and successfully exploding the myth of America the indispensable nation, we may cautiously celebrate the long contest for real liberty.  But we should expect the very worst in immediate outcomes, and not underestimate the fury of our faltering and desperate central government in coming months.

We The People don't count for shit when compared to "the needs of the state", which are more or less the needs of the oligarchs, bankgangsters, and corporations. Don't ever forget that. To think America is a "democracy" is a sick joke.
