America Is Back: U.S. Gross Deceit, Incompetence And Fraud On Full Display In Afghanistan

Update: 6pm Sunday. Apparently Joe Biden issued a public statement yesterday.  Link here. In it, Biden blames Trump for the fiasco we are witnessing. Yet, just saying a matter of weeks before the Afghan military was 300,000 members strong and would protect the country.  His public statement is pathetic.  This is a warmonger who has never seen a bombing campaign he didn’t support.  He’s ramping up bombing around the world as I type this. And, is allocating even more money than the massive increases to military spending that Trump approved. Biden is substantially responsible for us being in Afghanistan. And, he approved whatever handoff plan and exit plan that has been executed under his watch. That the capital fell in a few days and the Taliban now has billions of dollars of US weapons allowed under his withdrawal plan is on him. Apparently, the Taliban has pulled people from their homes and murdered them while returning the rights of humanity, women and children to the stone ages.  I believe it was Colin Powell who told George Bush, “you break it, you own it”.  Another miscreant who got us into this mess.  Biden exhibits the same disgusting lack of responsibility that pervades corporations, government and other entitled elites. While average citizens are forced to take responsibility for elite decisions with losses of jobs, no healthcare, poverty wages, porous borders, destruction of ethics and debt serfdom amongst the endless incompetence of a ruling corporate state class. Biden was correct a few months ago when he said the US is back.  It certainly is.

First I want to link to a video showcasing the absolutely gross stupidity of Joe Biden just a month ago. Biden, literally not years ago or decades ago, but just weeks ago is so misinformed, ignorant and incompetent and fed so much bullshit by entitled “experts” in the military and foreign policy that everything is on display as a comedy.  The US military lies endlessly to politicians about the state of operations in Afghanistan. Endlessly. This has been documented by numerous sources over twenty years.  Military leaders are often liars covering their own asses, building their own little empires of power and becoming wildly rich off their affiliation with for-profit military contractors and corporations.  Even Lawrence Wilkerson notes this in my last post.  The US military has this mythical reputation created by endless corporate state propaganda. The military is successful only through brute force of having more bigger guns and more propagandized brainwashing of those who blindly follow them.  And, don’t think this isn’t everywhere on earth. It is.

The US never should have gone to Afghanistan; where the British Empire and the USSR went to die.  Interestingly, the Great Depression started almost immediately after the British Empire left Afghanistan and the Soviet Union collapsed within a short time after leaving. Will the US empire, driven by arrogance, hubris, ignorance and incompetence follow history?

And, Afghanistan has absolutely nothing to do with nation building. George Bush let the cat out of the bag during his presidency when he was quoted as telling foreign leadership the US economy benefits from wars.  Look at the last twenty years in Afghanistan.  Countless hundreds of thousands dead or wounded, yet military contractors, military leaders, banks, corporations and the like minted trillions.  Far more than the official $2 trillion spent in Afghanistan.  When the system had sucked Afghanistan dry, it pathologically left any attempt to protect those who helped the US and left without any apologies or remorse.  This is exactly the same actions American citizens are and always have been on the receiving end of from the US corporate state plutocracy.  What I have remarked as the disposable society; a form of perverse eugenics.  Purely evil.  And, has been happening all throughout US history.

How in God’s name did and do we ever support a system that doesn’t involve direct democracy at the local level in lieu of granting pathological power all forms of control over us?

I’ve written endlessly about the gross incompetence of institutionalization; corporations,  Wall Street, Washington and the like. Events since 2008 have exposed how endlessly incompetent and corrupt the fascist corporate state is.  It’s far, far worse than imaginable. It’s been the basis of our society for 150 years and it continues on a continuum to grow, grab more power from citizens and local communities and enslave us to authoritarianism.  I have no idea how deep the rabbit hole goes but we’ll all find out as the system continues to devolve.

Are we awake yet? Recognizing we as sentient beings need to have direct say over our fate?  And that starts with democratic credit and direct democracy at the local level.  That the concept of politicians is a relic from ages gone by?

Citizens being informed, involved, debating and determining their fate directly via direct democratic vote at the local level.  And, any government in some far off land like DC should be limited to providing for defense and basic administration of social contracts and the common good decided by citizens, not politicians.  Everything else stripped from their responsibility.  Or are we still blaming this on a particular political party or whatnot?  An economic, political, academic and military system where those who seek power and dominion over others are eventually granted that by stomping on the face of their fellow many will not, can not, and has no desire to ever seek truth and service to democracy or humankind.  It’s purely driven by cult-of-self grabs of power and wealth. It’s purely driven by control. The system almost certainly will not be reformed. Instead it is more likely to reach its preordained fate of a showdown with humanity. Hence, my long-time thesis that World War III could very well be humanity’s war against the state.

US CEOs, Wall Street gods of finance, military leaders and generals and politicians are all cut from the same cloth.  And, they are generally the absolute worst people who should ever be granted any position of power to make decisions for democracy. Those who seek dominion over their fellow man should never be granted it for that very reason.  They seek that power to ameliorate their own demons.

A very unique perspective that is a long-time thesis on here is that hierarchical institutionalization that subverts inalienable rights, free association, free will and free thought is the precursor to collapse. For purposes of this post, let me state that it is my perspective after a lifetime studying evil, and understanding how evil organizes and gains control over humanity is that institutionalization is the creation of evil for evil with the intent of controlling humanity. Corporations, political parties, the hierarchical components of religion, the hierarchical components of academia, standing armies and on and on.  It’s no coincidence all of them have been attacked endlessly on here.   

Institutional hierarchies create permanent, unnatural entitlement that subverts truth for the purposes of control. No human being has any right to have power over any human being. The only power over any human being should be the rule of law based on or drawn from inalienable or natural rights. Essentially rooted in Judeo-Christian ethics of not not harming another, committing murder, lying, stealing, cheating and the like.  And extensions of that to protect us from toxic chemicals, toxic food, and the like that threaten inalienable rights and the common good.  I reject law and order and the pathology behind it.  There is absolutely no need for any hierarchical institutions to enforce inalienable or inalienable rights. 

The showdown of corporate capitalism and private capital aka wealthy and entitled elites who use academia, the military, government and corporations to do their will  is inevitable.
