Melancólica nota
de Paul Craig Roberts el día de ayer en su sitio web. Ha muerto la democracia en
Occidente, dice. Una vez más. Escuchará
alguien por allí? Lo hemos dicho ya varias veces, pero recordamos una vez más a los lectores distraídos que PCR no es un ideólogo trotzkista en la clandestinidad sino un político conservador estadounidense, ex Secretario del Tesoro de Ronald Reagan. Pasemos a la nota, publicada en su página web (paulcraigroberts.org):
Título: Western
Democracy Is An Endangered Species On Its Way To Extinction
Texto: The
British Labour Party no longer represents the working class. Under UK prime
minister Tony Blair, the Labour Party became a vassal of the One Percent. The
result has been a rebellion in the ranks and the rise of Jeremy Corbyn, a
principled Labourite intent on representing the people, a no-no in Western
“democracies.”
Corbyn is too
real for the Labour Party Blairites, who hope to be rewarded with similar nest
eggs as Blair for representing the capitalist One Percent. So what is the
corrupted Labour Party doing to prevent Corbyn’s election?
The answer is
that it is denying the vote to Corbyn supporters. You can read the story here.
The illegal
Egyptian military dictatorship that overthrew on Washington’s orders the first
democratically elected government in Egyptian history has issued an edict
prohibiting journalists from contradicting the military dictatorship. In brief,
the dictatorship installed by Washington has outlawed facts.
Washington
rejected the government that the Egyptian people elected, because it appeared
that the democratically elected government would have a foreign policy that was
at least partially independent of Washington’s. Remember, according to the
neocons who, together with Israel, control US foreign policy, countries with
independent foreign policies, such as Iran, Russia, and China, are America’s
“greatest threats.”
The Egyptian
military thugs, following Washington’s orders, have more or less eliminated all
of the leadership of the political party that was democratically elected. The
party was called the Muslim Brotherhood. In the presstitute Western media, the
political party was described more or less as al Qaeda, and how are the
ignorant, brainwashed, and propagandized Americans to know any difference?
Certainly neither “their” government nor the presstitute media will ever tell
them.
With the military
dictatorship’s edict, independent news reporting no longer exists in Egypt.
Washington is pleased and rewards the dictatorship with bags full of money paid
by the hapless and helpless American taxpayers.
Americans should
keep in mind that most of the dollars that they pay in income tax are spent
either spying upon themselves and the world or killing people in many
countries. Without resources taken from American taxpayers millions of women,
children, and village elders would still be alive in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya,
Syria, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, Ukraine, South Ossetia, and other countries. America
is the greatest exporter of violence the world has ever known. So wear your
patriotism on your sleeve and be proud. You are a depraved citizen of the
world’s worst killer nation. Compared to the USA, Rome was a piker.
France herself
seems to be collapsing as a democracy and no longer respects her own laws.
According to this report from Kumaran Ira on World Socialist Website
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2015/08/19/fkil-a19.html ,
“In the name of
the “war on terror,” the French state is dramatically accelerating its use of
clandestine operations to extra-judicially murder targeted individuals. French
President François Hollande reportedly possesses a “kill list” of potential
targets and constantly reviews the assassination program with high-ranking
military and intelligence officers.
“This program of
state murder, violating basic constitutional rights in a country where the
death penalty is illegal, underscores the profound decay of French bourgeois
democracy. Amid escalating imperialist wars in France’s former colonial empire
and deepening political crisis at home, the state is moving towards levels of
criminality associated with the war against Algerian independence and the Vichy
regime of Occupied France.”
Where do you
suppose the socialist president of France got his idea of an illegal and
unconstitutional “kill list”? If you answer from “America’s First Black
President,” you are correct.
The French people
should be outraged that “their” president is nothing more than a murderer and
an agent of Washington. But they aren’t. False flag operations have made them
fearful. The French like other Western peoples, have ceased to think.
Every western
democracy is gone with the wind. Washed up, Finished. Every value that defined
Western civilization and made it great has been flushed by power and greed and
arrogance.
Proconsuls have
replaced democracy.
I certainly do
not believe that Western civilization was ever pure as snow and devoid of sins
and crimes against humanity. But it is a fact that in Western civilization,
despite the numerous injustices, reforms were possible that improved life for
the lower classes. Reforms were possible that restricted the rapaciousness of
the rich and powerful. In the US reforms made the impossible come true: ladders
of upward mobility made it possible for members of the lowest economic class to
become multimillionaires. And this actually happened.
The governments
in Washington committed many crimes, but on occasion Washington prevented
crimes. Remember President Eisenhower’s ultimatum to Washington’s British,
French, and Israeli allies to remove themselves from the Suez Canal in Egypt or
else.
Today Washington
pushes its allies to commit crimes against humanity. That is what NATO and the
National Endowment for Democracy are for.
In my lifetime
Americans have always had a good opinion of themselves. But in the 21st century
this good opinion has hyper-jumped into hubris and arrogance. If you haven’t
been around very long in terms of a human life, you don’t see this. But older
people do.
Just as the Roman
Empire ended in the destruction of the Roman people, the American Empire will
end in the destruction of the American people. Judging from histories, Roman
citizens were superior to American citizens; yet, Rome failed.
Americans
shouldn’t expect any other outcome. The price to be paid for insouciance,
self-satisfaction, and complicity is high.
