8 Dec 2018 – <\/em>On November 29th<\/sup>, Gallup headlined\u00a0\u201cDemocrats Lead Surge in Belief U.S. Should Be World Leader\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and reported that \u201cThree-fourths (75%) of Americans today think the United States has \u2018a special responsibility to be the leading nation in world affairs,\u2019 up from 66% in 2010. The surge is driven by Democrats, whose belief in this idea has increased from 61% eight years ago to 81% now.\u201d This finding comes even after the lie-based and catastrophic U.S. invasions of Iraq in 2003, and of Libya in 2011 (and of so many others, such as Afghanistan, where the U.S. and Sauds\u00a0created the Taliban in 1979<\/a>). Americans \u2014 now even increasingly \u2014 want \u2018their\u2019 (which is\u00a0actually America’s billionaires\u2019<\/a>) Government to be virtually the world\u2019s government, policing the world. They want this nation\u2019s Government to be determining what international laws will be enforced around the world, and to be enforcing them. Most Americans don\u2019t want the United Nations to have power over the U.S. (its\u00a0billionaires\u2019<\/a>) Government, but instead want the U.S. Government (its billionaires) to have power over the United Nations (which didn\u2019t authorize any of those evil, lie-based, U.S. invasions).<\/p>\n

Not only would doing this bankrupt all constructive\u00a0domestic\u00a0functions (health, education, infrastructure, etc.) of the U.S. federal Government, but it would also increase the global carnage, as if the U.S. Government hasn\u2019t already been doing enough of that, for decades now.<\/p>\n

The leadership for this supremacist craving comes straight from America\u2019s top, not from the masses that are being sampled by the Gallup organization, who only reflect it \u2014 they are duped by their leaders. Here is how U.S. President Barack Obama (a Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2009, for\u00a0nothing at all<\/a>\u00a0but his\u00a0\u2018kindly\u2019 but insincere verbiage<\/a>\u00a0when he had been a candidate) stated this widespread delusional American belief in American global moral supremacy, when addressing the graduating class at West Point Military Academy, on 28 May 2014:<\/p>\n

The United States is and remains\u00a0the one indispensable nation.\u00a0[<\/em>Every other nation is therefore \u2018dispensable\u2019; we therefore now have \u201cAmerika, Amerika \u00fcber alles, \u00fcber alles in der Welt\u201d.]\u00a0That has been true for the century passed and it will be true for the century to come. \u2026 America must always lead on the world stage.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This had certainly\u00a0not\u00a0been the objective of U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt when he set up the U.N. just before his death in 1945; he instead wanted the U.N. to evolve into a democratic government of the world, with elected representatives of each and every one of the world\u2019s governments \u2014 to evolve into becoming\u00a0the global international republic<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 regardless of whether or not the U.S. Government approves or disapproves of another nation\u2019s government. The idea on which the U.N. was founded was not to involve the U.S. Government in the internal affairs of other nations, not to be the judge jury and executioner of other governments that it doesn\u2019t like, nor to dictate what other nations should or should not do within the given nation\u2019s boundaries. FDR intended that there instead be democratically represented, at the U.N., each and every nation, and each and every people within that global government, where each of these national governments is (hopefully but not necessarily) a democracy.\u00a0FDR was just as opposed to dictatorship internationally, as he was opposed to dictatorship nationally<\/strong>, and he recognized that inevitably some governments will disapprove of other governments, but he was deeply committed to the view that a need exists for laws and law-enforcement between<\/em> nations, on an international level, and not only\u00a0within\u00a0<\/em>the individual nations, and that each nation is sacrosanct on its own internal laws. He respected national sovereignty, and opposed international empire. (This was his basic disagreement with Winston Churchill, then, and with American leaders such as Obama and Trump now.) Unlike President Obama (and evidently unlike the vast majority of today\u2019s Americans) FDR didn\u2019t want this international government to be an American function, but instead an entirely separate international governmental function, in which there is no international dictatorship whatsoever \u2014 not American, and not by any other country. He knew that\u00a0this is the only stable basis for international peace, and for avoiding a world-annihilating World War III<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Barack Obama\u00a0rejected\u00a0FDR\u2019s vision, and advocated for the United States as being (and even as if it already had been for a century) virtually the government over the entire world, which \u201cmust always lead on the world stage.\u201d Adolf Hitler had had that very same international vision for his own country, Germany, \u201cthe Thousand-Year Reich,\u201d but he lost World War II; and, then, when FDR died, Hitler\u2019s vision increasingly took over in America, so that\u00a0ideologically<\/em>,\u00a0FDR actually lost WW II, when Harry S. Truman took over the White House and increasingly thereafter, until today, when\u00a0the U.S. commits more invasions of foreign countries than do all other nations in the world combined<\/strong>. Americans (apparently, as shown in this and other polls)\u00a0like\u00a0<\/em>this, and want more of it.Nobody else does.<\/a>\u00a0For example, nobody (except the U.S. and Saudi and Israeli aristocracies and their supporters worldwide, which are very few people) supports the U.S. regime\u2019s reinstitution of sanctions against Iran, which the U.S. regime is imposing as the global dictator. America\u2019s economic sanctions are like spitting into the face of FDR, who had opposed such imperialistic fascism in the more overtly military form when Hitler\u2019s regime was imposing it. It\u2019s also spitting at the U.N.<\/p>\n

Strategic Culture Foundation<\/p><\/div>\n

This latest Gallup finding displays an increase, but nothing that\u2019s at all anomalous as compared to the decades-long reality of imperialistic U.S. culture.\u00a0For decades now, Gallup\u2019s polling has shown that the most respected of all institutions by the American people is the nation\u2019s military<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 more than the church, more than the Presidency, more than the U.S. Supreme Court, more than the press, more than the schools, more than anything. America is invasion-nation. This is true\u00a0even after<\/em>\u00a0the 2003 invasion of Iraq on the basis of\u00a0blatant lies<\/a>, which\u00a0destroyed<\/a>\u00a0Iraq \u2014 a nation that had never invaded nor even threatened to invade the United States. The American people are, resolutely, bloodthirsty for conquest, even after having been\u00a0fooled<\/a>\u00a0into that\u00a0evil<\/a>\u00a0invasion, and subsequent decades-long military occupation in Iraq, and after\u00a0subsequent<\/a>\u00a0conquests or attempted conquests, in Libya,\u00a0Syria<\/a>, Yemen, and elsewhere \u2014 all destroying nations that had never invaded nor even threatened America. Why? How did this mass-insanity, of evil, come to be?<\/p>\n

How is this aggressive nationalism even possible, in America\u2019s\u00a0\u2018democracy<\/em>\u2019?\u00a0 It\u2019s actually no democracy at all<\/a>, and the public are being constantly fooled to think that it is a democracy, and this deception is essential in order for the public to tolerate this Government, and to tolerate the media that lie for it. This widespread deceit requires\u00a0constant cooperation of the \u2018news\u2019-media<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 and these are the same \u2018news\u2019-media that\u00a0hid from the public, in 2002, that the U.S. Government was outright lying about \u201cWMD in Iraq.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

The public simply do not learn. That\u2019s a tragic fact. Largely, this fact results from reality being hidden by the \u2018news\u2019-media; but, even now, long after the fake \u2018news\u2019 in 2002, about the U.S. regime\u2019s having possessed secret and conclusive evidence of \u201cSaddam\u2019s WMD,\u201d the published \u2018history\u2019 about that invasion still does not acknowledge the public\u2019s having been lied-to at that time, by its Government,\u00a0and by\u00a0the \u2018news\u2019-media. So, the public live, and culturally swim, in\u00a0an ongoing river of lies<\/a>, both as its being \u2018news\u2019, and subsequently as its having been \u2018history\u2019. This is why the public do not learn: they are being constantly deceived. And they\u00a0(as Gallup\u2019s polls prove)\u00a0tolerate being constantly deceived. The public do not rebel against it. They don\u2019t reject either the politicians, or the \u2018news\u2019-media. They don\u2019t demand that the American public control the American Government and that America\u2019s billionaires lose that control \u2014 especially over the \u2018news\u2019-media.<\/p>\n

Honesty is no longer an operative American value, if it ever was. That\u2019s how, and why, Big Brother (the operation by the international-corporate billionaires) grips Americans\u2019 minds to support foreign Invasions. Americans support liars, and it all comes from the top; it\u2019s directed from the top. It is bipartisan, from both Democratic Party billionaires and Republican Party billionaires.\u00a0National politicians will lose their seats if they disobey.<\/a><\/p>\n

A good example, of this Big-Brother operation, is America\u2019s Politifact, the online site which is at America\u2019s crossover where \u2018news\u2019 and \u2018history\u2019 meet one-another. It\u2019s controlled by billionaires\u00a0such as<\/a>\u00a0the one who founded\u00a0Craigslist<\/a>. Millions of Americans go to Politifact in order to determine what is true and what is false that is being widely published about current events. The present writer sometimes links to their articles, where I have independently verified that there are no misrepresentations in an article. But, like the \u2018news\u2019-media that it judges, Politifact is also a propaganda-agency for\u00a0the (U.S.-Saud-Israeli) Deep State<\/a>, and so it deceives on the most critically important international matters. An example of this occurred right after\u00a0the U.S. regime had overthrown in February 2014 in a bloody coup the democratically elected Government of Ukraine, and replaced it by a rabidly anti-Russian racist fascist or nazi Government on Russia\u2019s doorstep, a regime that was selected by the rabidly anti-Russian (but lying that it wasn\u2019t) Obama regime<\/a>. This Politifact article was dated 31 March 2014, right after over 90% of Crimeans had just voted in a referendum, to rejoin Russia, and to depart from Ukraine, which the Soviet dictator had transferred them to, separating them from Russia, in 1954. (None of that history of the matter was even mentioned by Politifact.) The Politifact article was titled\u00a0\u201cViral meme says United States has ‘invaded’ 22 countries in the past 20 years\u201d<\/a>, and it was designed to deceive readers into believing that \u201cRussia\u2019s recent annexation of Crimea\u201d reflected the real instance of \u201cinvasion\u201d that Americans should be outraged against \u2014 to deflect away from America\u2019s recent history as being the world\u2019s actual invasion-nation. This propaganda-article said nothing at all about either Crimea or Ukraine except in its opening line: \u201cA Facebook meme argues that Americans are pretty two-faced when it comes to Russia\u2019s recent annexation of Crimea.\u201d It then proceeded to document that the exact number of American invasions during the prior 20 years wasn\u2019t 22, and so Politifact declared the allegation \u201cfalse\u201d (as if the exact number were really the entire issue or even the main one, and as if America\u2019s scandalous recent history of invasions were not).<\/p>\n

So, it\u2019s on account of such drowning-in-propaganda, that the U.S. public not only respect what U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower derogatorily called the \u201cmilitary-industrial complex,\u201d but respect it above even the U.S. Presidency itself, and above all other U.S. institutions (as Gallup\u2019s constant polling demonstrates to be the case).<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the reality: The same group of no more than a thousand super-wealthy Americans control both the United States Government and the weapons-manufacturing firms (such as Lockheed Martin), which are the\u00a0only corporations whose only customers are the U.S. Government and its chosen allied governments<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. So, these few people actually control the U.S. Government\u2019s foreign relations, and foreign policies. They create and control their own markets. This is the most politically active group of America\u2019s super-rich, because they own America\u2019s international corporations and because their business as owners of the military ones is military policy and also diplomatic policy, including the conjoining of both of those at the CIA and NSA, including the many coups that they (via their Government) engineer. They also\u00a0control all of the nation\u2019s major news-media, which report international affairs in such a manner as to determine which foreign governments will be perceived by the mass of Americans to constitute the nation\u2019s \u2018enemies\u2019 and therefore to be suitable targets for the U.S. military and CIA to invade and conquer or otherwise \u201cregime-change\u201d<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 such as have been the lands of North Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran, North Korea, Yemen, Venezuela, etc., at various times.\u00a0The weapons-manufacturers won\u2019t have any markets, at all, if there are no \u2018enemy\u2019 nations that are deemed by the public to be suitable targets for their weapons<\/strong>.\u00a0\u2018Enemy’ nations, and not only \u2018allies\u2019 (or \u2018allied\u2019 nations), are necessary, in order for the military business to produce the most profits. Overwhelmingly, if not totally, the chosen \u2018enemies\u2019 are nations that have\u00a0never invaded nor even threatened to invade the United States<\/strong>; and, so, in order to keep this Government-funded business (the war-profiteering and associated international\u00a0natural-resources extractions\u00a0<\/em>businesses) growing and thriving, what\u2019s essential is continuing control over the nation\u2019s \u2018news\u2019-media. As Walter Lippmann wrote in 1921,\u00a0\u201cthe manufacture of consent\u201d<\/a>\u00a0is an essential part of this entire operation. It happens via the media. Even Germany\u2019s Nazis needed to do that. Any modern capitalist dictatorship (otherwise called \u201cfascism\u201d) does. The U.S. regime, being a capitalist dictatorship, certainly does. Physically, Hitler lost, but his ideology won, he won even as nazism (racist fascism) instead of merely as fascism, and this racism is shown because the U.S. regime is rabidly racist anti-Russian (not merely anti-communist<\/a>), and has been so for at least a century. (Maybe it\u2019s what Obama actually had secretly in mind when he said \u201cThat has been true for the century passed and it will be true for the century to come.\u201d And Trump is no less a liar than Obama, and he continues this aim of ultimately conquering Russia.) They say they\u2019re only against Russia\u2019s leader Vladimir Putin, but Putin shows in all polls of Russians, even in non-Russian polls, to be far more favorably viewed by Russians than either Barack Obama or Donald Trump are viewed by Americans. This is why regime-change-in-Russia is increasingly becoming dominated by U.S. economic sanctions and military, and less dominated by CIA and other coup-organizers. The actual dictatorship is in America, and it requires participation by its \u2018news\u2019-media.\u00a0Demonizing \u2018the enemy\u2019<\/a>\u00a0is therefore crucial. It is crucial preparation for any invasion.<\/p>\n

The United States Government spends\u00a0at least as much money on its military as do all of the other governments in the world combined<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0Its \u2018news\u2019-media (that is to say, the media that are owned by, and that are advertised in by, the corporations that are controlled by, the same small group of billionaires \u2014 America\u2019s billionaires \u2014 who fund the political campaigns of both the Democratic Party\u2019s and the Republican Party\u2019s nominees for the U.S. Congress and the Presidency) may be partisan for one or the other of the nation\u2019s two political Parties, but they all are unitedly partisan for the international corporations, such as Lockheed Martin, that America\u2019s billionaires control, and that sell only to the U.S. Government and to the foreign governments that are allied with the U.S. Government. They also are partisan for the U.S.-based oil and gas and mining international corporations, which need to extract at the lowest costs possible, no matter how much the given extractee-nation\u2019s public might suffer from the deal. \u201cThree-fourths (75%) of Americans today think the United States has \u2018a special responsibility to be the leading nation in world affairs,\u2019\u201d and the actual beneficiaries of this mass-insanity are the owners of those U.S.-based international corporations, the military and extraction giants.<\/p>\n

Anthony Cordesman, at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, headlined on 15 August 2016,\u00a0\u201cU.S. Wars in Iraq, Syria, Libya and Yemen: What Are The Endstates?\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and he said, \u201cOnce again, the United States does not seem to be learning from its past. The real test of victory is never tactical success or even ending a war on favorable military terms, it is what comes next.\u201d But he ignored the main reason why these invasions had occurred. America\u2019s weapons-manufacturers won\u2019t have any markets, at all, if there are no \u2018enemy\u2019 nations that are deemed by the American public to be suitable targets for their weapons. Cordesman is there calculating success and failure on the basis of the myths (such as that the U.S. Government cares about those \u201cEndstates\u201d), not of the realities (that it craves targets). The realities focus upon the desires of the owners and executives of the weapons-manufacturers and the extraction-firms, for ongoing and increased profits and executive bonuses, and\u00a0not\u00a0on the needs of America\u2019s soldiers nor on the national security of the American people. Least of all, do they focus upon the needs \u2014 such as the welfare, freedom, or democracy \u2014 of the Iraqi people, or of the Syrian people, or of the Libyan people, or of the Yemenite people. It\u2019s all just lies, PR. Those invasions served their actual main functions when they were occurring. \u201cThe Endstates\u201d there are almost irrelevant to those\u00a0real\u00a0purposes, the purposes for which the invasions were, and are, actually being done.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an ideal example of this mass mind-control: On 19 November 2017, Josh Rogin at the\u00a0Washington Post<\/em>\u00a0headlined\u00a0\u201cThe U.S. must prepare for Iran\u2019s next move in Syria\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and reported that:<\/p>\n

A task force of senior former U.S. diplomatic and military officials has come up with suggestions for how Trump could prevent Iran from taking over what\u2019s left of liberated Syria and fulfill his own promise to contain Iranian influence in the region.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMost urgently… the United States must impose real obstacles to Tehran\u2019s pursuit of total victory by the Assad regime in Syria,\u201d\u00a0the report<\/a>\u00a0by the Jewish Institute for National Security of America states. \u201cTime is of the essence.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The underlying presumption there was that the U.S. regime has legitimate authorization to be occupying the parts of Syria it has invaded and now occupies, and that Iran does not. But the reality is that the U.S. regime is occupying Syria instead of assisting Syria\u2019s Government to defeat the U.S.-Saud-Israeli invasion to overthrow and replace Syria\u2019s Government, by\u00a0stooges who will be selected by the Saud family who own Saudi Arabia<\/a>, and the reality is that Iran\u2019s forces there are invitees who are instead assisting Syria\u2019s Government against the Saudi-Israeli-American invasion. In other words: this\u00a0WP\u00a0article is basically all lies. Furthermore, the Jewish Institute for National Security of America is\u00a0a front-organization<\/a>\u00a0for the\u00a0fascist regime that rules Israel<\/a>, and the\u00a0WP\u00a0hid that fact, too, so its cited \u2018expert\u2019 was a mere PR agency for Israel\u2019s aristocracy. So, this is Deep-State propaganda, parading as \u2018news\u2019.<\/p>\n

Americans actually pay their private good money to subscribe to (subsidize) such bad public \u2018news\u2019papers as that. The billionaire who happens to own that particular \u2018news\u2019paper (the\u00a0WP), Jeff Bezos, had founded and leads Amazon, which receives almost all of its profits from Amazon Web Services (AWS), the cloud-computing division, which supplies the U.S. \u2018Defense\u2019 Department, CIA, and NSA.\u00a0For example,<\/a>\u00a0\u201cwithout AWS and Prime, Amazon lost $2 billion in the 1st quarter of FY18. \u2026 These losses come from Amazon\u2019s retail business. About 60% of Amazon\u2019s revenue comes from retail and that\u2019s where Amazon is losing money.\u201d Amazon is profitable because of what it sells mainly to the Government, but also to other large U.S. international corporations, and they all want to conquer Syria. None opposes that evil goal. Although Bezos doesn\u2019t like the Sauds, he has actually been (at least until the Khashoggi matter) one of their main U.S. media champions for the Sauds to take over Syria. It\u2019s all just a fool-the-public game. It works, it succeeds, and that\u2019s what Gallup\u2019s polls are demonstrating. The public never learns. It\u2019s a fact, which has been proven in many different ways.<\/p>\n

This reality extends also to other nations, allies of the U.S. aristocracy, and not only to the U.S. regime itself. For example, on 27 November 2018, a whistleblowing former UK Ambassador, Craig Murray, who is a personal friend of Julian Assange, headlined\u201cAssange Never Met Manafort. Luke Harding and the Guardian <\/em>Publish Still More Blatant MI6 Lies\u201d<\/a>, and he proved that Britain\u2019s\u00a0Guardian\u00a0<\/em>had lied with total, and totally undocumented (and probably even totally non-credible), fabrications, alleging that Julian Assange of WikiLeaks had secretly met (in 2013, 2015, and 2016) with Paul Manafort of the Trump campaign. The UK, of course, is a vassal-nation of the U.S. aristocracy, and the\u00a0Guardian\u00a0<\/em>is run by Democratic Party propagandists (paid indirectly by Democratic Party and conservative Tony-Blair-wing Labour Party\u00a0billionaires<\/a>) and therefore fabricates in order to assist those Parties\u2019 efforts to impeach Trump and to dislodge Jeremy Corbyn from the Labour Party\u2019s leadership. However, each of America\u2019s two political parties (like the UK\u2019s aristocracy itself) represents America\u2019s aristocracy, which, like Britain\u2019s aristocracy, is united in its\u00a0determination to eliminate Assange<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 they are as determined to do that to him, just as Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman al-Saud was determined to eliminate Jamal Khashoggi. \u2018Democracy\u2019? This? It is Big Brother.<\/p>\n

Only if the population boycott lying individuals and organizations, is democracy even possible to exist in a nation. Democracy can\u2019t possibly exist more than truth does. In political matters, deceit is always treachery; and its practitioners, whenever the evidence for it is overwhelming and irrefutable, should experience whatever the standard penalty is for treachery. Only in a land such as that, can democracy possibly exist. Elsewhere, it simply can\u2019t. The\u00a0only\u00a0basis for democracy, is truth. Deceit is for dictators, not for democrats. And deceit reigns, in the U.S. and in its allied countries. Is this really tolerable? Americans, at least, tolerate it.<\/p>\n

When Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the far-right Rupert Murdoch\u2019s\u00a0Wall Street Journal\u00a0<\/em>editorialized against Obama on 10 October 2009, by saying that\u00a0\u201cWhat this suggests to us \u2014 and to the Norwegians \u2014 is the end of what has been called \u2018American exceptionalism\u2019.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0Little did anyone then know that after winning\u00a0re-election upon the basis of such war-mongering\u00a0lies from Obama, as that\u00a0\u201cAmerica remains the one indispensable nation\u201d<\/a>, Obama in February 2014 would go so far as to perpetrate a bloody\u00a0coup<\/a>\u00a0overthrowing the democratically elected Government of one \u201cdispensable\u201d nation, Ukraine; and, then, on 28 May of 2014, Obama would be telling\u00a0America\u2019s future generals<\/em>, that \u201cThe United States is and remains the one indispensable nation\u201d and that Obama would, in that speech, explicitly malign Ukraine\u2019s neighbor Russia. He did it, in this speech, which implicitly called\u00a0all nations except the U.S.<\/em>\u00a0\u201cdispensable.\u201d He had carefully planned and orchestrated Americans\u2019 hostility toward Russia. His successor, Trump, lied saying that he wanted to reverse Obama\u2019s policies on this, and Trump promptly, once becoming elected, increased and expanded those policies. Whatever a deceitfully war-mongering country like this might be, it\u2019s certainly no democracy. Because democracy cannot be built upon a ceaseless string of lies.<\/p>\n
