When our youth carry
on, act out, embarrass us and create chaos,
why do we blame them?
Why do we lock them
away, put them on time out, punish and discipline them as if it's their fault?
As adults, aren't we responsible for the world they are born into? And if we
don't like the world they are born into, don't we have the responsibility to change
it?
No it ain't easy...
But blaming the victim ain't right either.
When we have a child
as the CEO of McDonald's, Burger King, ExxonMobil, Apple, Tetris, ToysRUs,
Signa, GE, Warner Bros., MSNBC, Time Warner, Disney, Dept. Of Education, CDC,
DHS, ClearChannel, Google, YouTube, and a host of other operations that
conspire against the health and well being of our children.. we cannot continue
to blame them!
They are acting out
because they were born into an environment that is not child friendly or child
safe. They are born into an environment that sees children as fodder. They are
born into an environment that counts them in their think tanks, not as collateral
damage but the actual damage, the actual casualty of a real war. A war that
guarantees they will act out, be sick, mentally deranged and eventually
discarded as cast off OR they will line
up behind the conspiracy and perpetrate this same exact strategy of chaos,
tension and death on their offspring until the entire planet is covered with
decaying misguided destructive frequencies guarantying that the human mind and
spirit will not rise up from the ashes but will be struck down for eternity.
Hell is not under the earth. Hell is not after we die. Hell is right here on
top of the earth and we create and recreate it every day for our children, who
will grow up and do the same for theirs. We cannot continue to blame the
children. We have to look in the mirror. Actually, we need to take that mirror
of vanity down. We need to look at our creation. Our children.
We need to
"SEE" them. We need to have compassion, empathy and understanding for
them. We need to stop charging them with crimes when we allowed them to be born
into a criminal society. We need to stop locking them up and in some cases
throwing away the key in prison that we built just for them. We need to take
the chains off their feet and out of their minds so they can thrive and be
healthy. We need to stop prostituting
our children for consumption, avarice, greed and materialism and take them to
the park and teach them about how a tree grows.
We need to change
the role models they see that are destroying their own sense of self and
understanding of the spiritual beings they are. We need to take them out of the
religious institutions of brain washing and mind fuck and let them watch the
sun rise. We need to honor their dreams and ask them to tell us what they are
and help them understand them. We need to keep them away from all things
harmful, including zoos, circuses, and amusement parks.
We need to teach
them how to grow food, cook a meal, iron a shirt, clean a bathroom, pick a
peach from a peach tree and manage their health.
We need to avoid all
types of violence around them, including wars, road rage, cursing and violent
video games. We need to throw away our televisions and monitor the amount of
time they have on their digital devices.
We need to stop
celebrating all holidays and create our own family and community gatherings.
Any holidays that honor war, war criminals, injustice, pedophiles, and
corruption should be avoided at all costs. We should teach them how to sweep
the yard and sew their own clothes.
Why do we
continually blame our youth for the shit they do and the chaos they cause,
especially our pre-teens and teens? Why are we kicking them out of schools,
writing statics with their recidivism in mind, arranging chairs in court rooms
for their conviction and scientifically generating drugs for their intake?
Why do they rebel?
They rebel because they realize that we are liars, fraudsters, fakes,
perpetrators, perverts and unethical scum. They realize that we will continue
to blame them and call them stupid for not abiding by the code of the
destructive environment we have created for them.
How can we blame
them, how can we fault them, how can we punish them? We are asking them to
become the zombified skitzoid vampire that we have become being born into this
environment. We are asking them to eat poison mentally, emotionally, physically
and spiritually and be as grateful as we are to have it. So they rebel, and
they should.
They should fight
the corruption they see around them. they have the courage to stand up to the
injustice. They have the courage we lost when we conformed. They have the
ability to see beyond the veil and beyond our hypocrisy and the flagrant lie we
tell to ourselves each and every day. They are struggling to be sane in this
very insane world run by delusional people who think it makes sense to poison
the air, water and earth. They are struggling with how to be sane in an insane
world that cannot see the connection between hypocrisy and the resulting
torment, corruption, displacement and distortion that it creates.
They don't want to
do their homework or go outside and do something when they see their parents
sit in the work place all day and come home and sit on the couch all night.
They don't want to listen to our demands and commands when we do not listen to
theirs. And what is theirs you may ask??
They want to feel
safe, they want to be protected they want to live freely, they want to expand
their consciousness they want to explore their imagination and they want to
have a world that is supportive and okay with that.
This world is
not.... unless you live on some primitive island far from the commercial
destruction of this planet. Otherwise, there is no place for them to feel safe.
So they will give into the first law of nature, self preservation and fight
overtly or covertly, but they will fight until they either die, or give in.
What other option do they have when adults won't take responsibility for what
they have done to the Earth they brought their children into?
And on a side note,
if we continue to vote into office openly corrupt people to lead us, we are
driving a stake through the hearts of our children and we really have not right
to blame them in any way.

How to Deal With Your Acting-Up
Teenager: Practical Help for Desperate Parents by Robert
Bayard Ph.D.
Neglect and emotional
abuse are often not recognised in
teenagers. Their behaviours may be interpreted by others as a lifestyle choice
or ‘acting out’.
MOM: Typically, the more a
parent clamps down, the more the child rebels. In adulthood, this can result in
one of two extremes. One is that the kid remains in a state of rebellion into
adulthood and has trouble making a successful life because of it. The other
side we see is that when these rebellious kids become adults and have their own
children they are very strict –probably overly strict– parents and it’s very
hard for them to have a happy medium.

NB Commentary: There has been a lot of speculation around Hillary Rodham Clinton's health lately. It seems the news is abuzz with the prospect that she might be seriously ill. So I decided that I would consult the I Ching Oracle because doing that seems to bring all things into perspective. The video is the first one in the following playlist, but you will get an idea of what the Oracle gave me. It provided a very indepth perspective on what is going on with her health, along with what to expect as she proceeds forward with this campaign. She will have to beat Trump and she won't be able to do it while sitting down on pillows or being held up by two body guards.
For those of you who want this woman to reign over the US Empire, I suggest that you strongly encourage her Doctors to get on her health ASAP and give her the much needed assistance she needs because, frankly, according to the readings, she is not well and may not be able to withstand the rigors of the next few months of campaigning, not to mention 4 years of being the president of the USA.
It may be a big deal having a "Woman" in the white house, I see that, but you want a healthy strong and capable "Woman" in the white house who can withstand the rigors that that job entails.
Hillary will be 70 years old when she reaches that pinnacle of "so-called" success and she will go down in history for being the first "Woman" selected to be president of the US, but she will also be the first "Woman" to take a serious nose dive if she is not assisted, immediately. Frankly, at her age and with her list of ailments, she really may not have much recourse as far as medical assistance. It's not to late to save her life, it's just not going to save her if she becomes President of the US.
Of course we have had other Presidents who were propped up, Reagan, Roosevelt, Truman, and maybe others, but at least they were all men! and they were not the first "men." If folks are looking for a shot in the arm, an adrenalin rush, something to brag about, etc. well, that won't last long at the rate she is going. Best to wrap her in your arms and run to safety cause she is no "Barack Hussein Obama" shooting hops on the basketball court and playing golf. Even without any health issues, she is not "physically" fit to take on the rigors. Does she even work out?? LOL
Well, enjoy the playlist and by all means feel free to leave your comments.

WASHINGTON — People
who run for president have to have a screw loose, Hillary Rodham Clinton said
in an interview on Wednesday.
“Well, you have to
be a little bit crazy to run for president, let me just put it like that,
because you have to be so totally immersed and so convinced that you can bring
something to that office,” she told Gwen Ifill on PBS’ “NewsHour.”
Hillary's ambition
is to be the first female POTUS. She doesn't care if she lives past day two of
her reign because she will go down in the history books as the first woman

It does not matter
whether the classification was a high or low level one. You simply cannot
include any classified information on an unclassified system. To do so is a
violation of law. It does not matter if, in your opinion, whether or not he
material should have been classified, or was over-classified. Clinton could
have declassified it following standard procedures but did not do so (see,
because you can retroactively classify something, you can also retroactively
declassify something.)
But what is most
significant here is that Clinton lied. Stone cold lied. There was marked
classified on her unclassified server. And that does matter.
Clinton's doctor reiterated
those claims this week — in response
to fake
medical records that surfaced on the
internet — saying yet again Clinton is in "excellent" condition to be
president. Right now, there's no compelling reason to think otherwise.
Most campaigns tend to release letters from physicians
who have examined the candidates. Clinton’s doctor released a
letter in July 2015 detailing Clinton’s
medical record, family history, medications, and recent examinations. The
letter found that while Clinton has hypothyroidism and seasonal allergies,
she is in "excellent physical condition and fit to serve as president of
the United States."
NB Commentary: By
now folks all over the world have heard about Dr. Sebi making his transition to
the astral plane. There has certainly been a lot of speculation around his
transition. What I like to do, especially after viewing the articles, videos
and comments on certain subjects; is to consult the I Ching Oracle to see if I
can get a clear picture of what "really" took place.
Below you will find
my comments, an article about his incarceration and subsequent transition and a
video playlist that includes the video I uploaded with the readings I received.
Please feel free to
leave your comments below.
Here are some points that came to mind for me, before I consulted the oracles. These points seem to make sense as to why his family did not make an announcement about his arrest and subsequent incarceration.
Protect him from the shit storm that would be thrown at
him if they let the word out that he was arrested for the second time for
money laundering.
Since we as black folks tend
to raise our leaders to the status of God, imagine the devastation that
would reverberate thru the so'called conscious community.
How many of us are legally
savvy with Honduran laws that we could do anything?
I am certain there would have
been a wide spectrum of responses from those who admire him, but what if
he asked his family not to say anything.
What about the fact that he
got ill? What type of shit storm would that have created especially since
he is the one healing people?
There's a lot of haters out
there ready to tear him down. They gave him something when he got ill.
What does that tell everyone who follows his teachings?
Since it was his Second time.
Maybe he felt he would get out like he did before.
Maybe they were too
embarrassed about the jail part.
STORY THAT LATIN
AMERICAN NEW SOURCES ARE SPREADING. CAN IT BE TRUSTED?
Alfredo Darrington
Bowman also known as the world famous Dr. Sebi the man who cures cancer and
aids along with many other diseases was detained after a flight from California
that landed at the Juan Manuel Galvez de Roatan Airport on May 28, 2016 under charges
of money laundering. Dr. Sebi and his associate Pablo Medina Gamboa were
apprehended carrying a total of $50,000 in cash. $20,000 on Dr. Sebi and
$30,000 on Gamboa. They were attempting to board a private plane headed to
another location in Honduras. He was detained and then released for a pending
court appearance that would later take place on June 3, 2016.
After his court
hearing on June 3, 2016 Dr. Sebi was detained under the charges of money
laundering by the Public Ministerio. On an unconfirmed date and time between
June 3rd and the August 6th Dr. Sebi reported severe health conditions during
incarceration related to pneumonia. In critical health condition he was rushed
to the Vicente D’antoni Hospital but died in transit. Before this event his
brother Garden Bowman reported that Dr. Sebi had experienced health
complications from pneumonia and was prescribed medication by the hospital. His
exact conditions of death and any evidence of foul play is still unknown and
under investigation. He was received at the hospital by Dr. Edwin Interiano.
Dr. Sebi died at 82
and is survived by 17 children, he was a inspiration to many and will be
intensely missed by people all over the world impacted by his holistic approach
to wellness.
NB Commentary: This is a well researched
article with links. A must read for anyone who is interested in what is really
going on with the Selection of Hillary Clinton for the next President of the
US. I have included direct links listed in this article at the bottom along
with pics and videos.
"God
has not been preparing the English-speaking and Teutonic peoples for a thousand
years for nothing but vain and idle self-contemplation and self-admiration. . .
. He has made us adept in government that we may administer government among
savage and senile peoples.”—
Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana, during the US annexation of the
Philippines, 1898.
A
grotesque power-fest at the Democratic Party Convention in Philadelphia left
me
feeling about Hillary Clinton the way P. G. Wodehouse’s Bertie Wooster felt
about his Aunt Agatha—“the one who chews broken bottles and kills rats with her
teeth.” There is something disquieting and secretively lascivious about her
open-mouthed cackle. She doesn't so much laugh as lusts. She reminded me, too,
of the mythical basilisk in the bestiary at the convention—the queen among the
serpents. The basilisk of legend, wearing a king’s crown on his head, is only
twelve-fingers long, but his venom withers all living plants in his wake. His
gaze is enough to kill, according to Pliny the Elder. Only the droppings of a
weasel have the potent odor to kill him, but it didn't work with this basilisk.
Her weasel endorsed her, embraced her, kissed her. His odor and her venom
neutralized each other and merged into the unity party of the Serpent and the
Weasel.
Her party’s opponent is Charybdis, “a huge bladder of a
creature whose face was all mouth and whose arms and legs were flippers”
according to Jorge Luis Borges’ Book of Imaginary Beings (1957).
As if that were not enough, this Charybdis is reputed to be the troll of a
foreign monster, Mandrake, the Demon in the Kremlin. Neither the basilisk’s
party nor Charybdis’ own party, a sort of mollusk like the Kraken, likes him.
See here and here.
I’m
raving, you say? This is the Age of Empire, and empire breeds monsters. We live
with them now. Imperialism is our political and economic reality. Nothing
material or substantial can be reformed within this colossal juggernaut. Yet,
we continue to pretend that this has no bearing on our lives. In 2003 alone,
the Iraq invasion cost $60 billion, three times the yearly budget for
education, yet, we wonder why schools are starving for funds. When we clamor
for reforms without mentioning imperialism, it is as if we were told we would
be dead in three weeks and reacted by scheduling an appointment for a facelift.
A
facelift is exactly what elections have produced in the last two decades. Bill
Clinton’s Nero, saxophone in lieu of harp; George Bush’s Claudius, malapropisms
for stutters; Obama’s Titus, fortunate son, charm and treachery—they are all
faces of imperialism, exceptionalism, hegemony, capital penetration,
globalization, neoliberal recolonization, “full spectrum dominance,”
“rebalance.” They are the CEOs of international capitalism in the White House.
Their charge is to do away with the sovereignty of nations, economically when
possible, militarily when necessary. They destabilize and destroy whole
countries through open, economic, proxy, or clandestine wars; they organize and
train terrorist organizations; they foment regime change; they privatize the public
wealth; they impose deadly economic reforms on countries they in debt in
perpetuity; they launch economic sanctions, often in tandem or in the run-up to
war. The goal they serve is the domination of the planet to extract resources,
secure markets, and depress wages. In Haiti, workers are paid 62 cents per
hour. Why would any sane investor hire an American worker for $7 per hour when
a Haitian, whose dependent country has stripped him/her of all workers’
protection rights, works for pennies?
We are
the Lotus Eaters, if we don’t know the cost and suffering of imperialism.
In
this predatory process, the masters of the world—the economic elite—have
amassed mountains of money over tree decades, and are desperate for
“opportunities” for investment. They know that money must move, or it dies. At
this stage of disinvestment in industrialization in the capitalist centers
because of diminished returns, money becomes the chief export commodity. To
secure astronomical returns, lands and resources that belong to other people
must be seized and controlled. To achieve this goal, they need a strong,
autocratic, and authoritarian state and an appointed dictator. An imperator, head of the army, whose rule is
characterized by weak legislative and judicial branches.
Ruthless,
ambitious, violent, and conniving, Hillary Clinton’s Roman imperial analog is
Agrippina, Nero’s mother and Claudius’ niece and murderous wife. Her ferocious
chemistry makes her kindred by choice to the ferocity of the empire. The two
are bound by “elective affinities”– Die
Wahlverwandtschaften (1809) of Goethe’s third novel, which examines the
possibility that human passions are ruled by chemical affinities , the
preference of one substance for another. I am convinced that the imperial
candidate with the most affinities with the ruling elite is Hillary Clinton. If
Donald Trump is sincere in saying he wants peace with Russia, he would have to
be a Titan to reverse a centenary robotic American foreign policy by 360
degrees. That would go against all the laws of political motion, including
inertia, which were set down at the birth of the United States. The prize was
always to be fabled Eurasia—“he who controls Eurasia controls the world,” wrote
that other cobra-eyed basilisk, Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinsk, the veteran
Zbiggus Dickus of foreign lunacy at the State Department and the NSA.
And so
this woman, the Agrippina on the Potomac, will sit behind the “grand
chessboard,” playing with human pawns. She will make a good empress, even
though less than 40 percent of the country’s voters consider her “trustworthy.”
But the people’s trust is irrelevant. They are themselves untrustworthy. Having
come out from under the spell of “charming” Obama to realize that he was a
magician’s trick, the people are spinning off center—the “extreme center,” as
Tariq Ali wittily calls it. The people need whipping back into the herd. For
that, a virago will do. She will ride rough-shod with Sin and Death, the moral
allies of the empire, over hurdles of sovereignties and international law. She
will further ravish the already enfeebled Constitution before eating it whole
because the inevitable cost of an expansionist foreign policy is the loss of
economic and political freedom at home.
They all trust her. She has affinities
with them all.
The Financiers
The
financial empire trusts Hillary Clinton. Top mega-financiers and hedge fund
founders and managers who have contributed to her campaign since March 2015
include: George Soros, hedge-fund billionaire, $7 million; Haim Saban, Israeli
hawk and entertainment mogul, $5 million; James Simon, founder, Renaissance
Technologies, hedge fund billionaire and former code-breaker for the military,
$ 3.5 million; Herbert Sandler, founder of Golden West Financial Corporation,
the California savings and loan enterprise; Donald Sussman, hedge-fund manager,
$2.5 million.
There
was no way that the new world order of financial monopoly capitalism would
consider for CEO of the neoliberal empire someone like Bernie Sanders, not
because he was “progressive” but because he was “regressive,” and in their view
no doubt an unrealistic fantasist. The idea of bringing back the New Deal, a
liberal order they had been overthrowing since the 1980s, must have had them
belly-laughing in private, but they saw no harm so long as the senator from
Vermont fed the illusion in the people that capitalism could be reformed and
become a good thing. Ditto for Donald Trump: his regression consists of
offering the people another fantasy, a return to a long gone Fordist America,
the industrial powerhouse of the planet, in which American workers were the
“aristocrats” of labor. At one point in history, Detroit was the capital of
this aristocracy, the best-paid white workers in the world. Thus, both
candidates offer a spectacle to the voters of a quarrel with their respective
parties, but not with their parties’ de-facto bi-partisan pursuit of economic
world supremacy. All the same they were useful. They helped to deflect,
diffuse, confuse, and veil that stark, existential reality that is the cause of
our woes and those of the planet: American economic and military expansion—the
weasel more so than Charybdis.
Hillary
Clinton is not a retro-fantasist, apart from being a fantasist of the
neoliberal order. Her fantasy is their fantasy. Thus they back her.
The Liberal Humanitarian Carnivores
The
liberal humanitarians trust Hillary’s exemplary ability to sell a war crime as
a service to humanity.
The modern idea of “humanitarian war” is as old as
Columbus; as old as the conquistadores. White, civilized Europeans, arriving in the “New
World,” killed “savages” in order to civilize whoever survived. And then worked
them to death and took their lands. In that tradition, the modern liberal
humanitarian must be a flesh-eater. “A liberal society cannot be defended by
herbivores. We need carnivores to save us,” wrote Michael Ignatieff, former
Professor of Human Rights Policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, in
a New York Times magazine op-ed piece, May 2, 2004. There is no need to recite
the litany of Hillary Clinton’s bloody deeds since 1990. Gary Leupp covers them
comprehensively in a 2015 CounterPunch article but for carnivorism, who can forget her
maenad-possessed laughter on watching the tearing apart of Qaddafi’s flesh on
video—a scene reminiscent of Euripides’ tragedy, “The Bacchae”?
Bill
Clinton’s administration in the 1990s disemboweled Yugoslavia on humanitarian
grounds, after portraying it as the resurgence of the genocidal Third Reich and
its president, Slobodan Milosevic, as the new Hitler. Milosevic, by the way,
has just been exonerated of all crimes for which Clinton’s kangaroo
International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia had formerly condemned him. In
2003, casting her vote for the invasion of Iraq, Hillary Clinton cited the
persecution of Milosevic as the example to follow for removing Saddam Hussein.
It’s worth listening to her self-assurance in demonizing a man she, and Bill
Clinton’s administration, knew to be innocent of the charges—knew because they trumped them up:
"We and
our NATO allies did not depose Mr. Milosevic, who was responsible for more than
a quarter of a million people being killed in the 1990s. Instead, by stopping
his aggression in Bosnia and Kosovo, and keeping on the tough sanctions, we
created the conditions in which his own people threw him out and led to his
being in the dock being tried for war crimes as we speak."
But
Bill Clinton didn’t just scrap Yugoslavia; he junked international law by
removing from the Security Council the legal monopoly on authorizing war. He
set a precedent in the Kosovo War by claiming Responsibility to Protect (R2P),
which gives humanitarian intervention the pseudo-legal means to overthrow a
sovereign state. The UN Charter specifically disallows humanitarian
intervention for a very good reason: it was that responsibility Hitler’s rogue
regime claimed for invading Poland—the protection of German minorities—to start
WW II.
Never
mind. The Kosovo precedent opened the gates to all the “humanitarian” wars that
followed, including Hillary Clinton’s war on Libya in 2009, consistent with her
approval of her husband’s intervention in Kosovo. During a meeting with Code
Pink on 6 March 2003 at the US Capitol, defending her vote in favor of
attacking Iraq, Senator Clinton applauded her husband’s war in Kosovo, claiming
that he saved Kosovar Albanian from ethnic cleansing—a lie—while commending his
initiative to go it alone, without the “international community’s” consent:
"With
respect to whose responsibility it is to disarm Saddam Hussein, I do not
believe that given the attitudes of many people in the world community today
that there would be a willingness to take on very difficult problems were it
not for United States leadership. And I am talking specifically about
what had to be done in Bosnia and Kosovo, where my husband could not get a
Security Council resolution to save the Kosovar Albanians from ethnic
cleansing. And we did it alone as the United States, and we had to do it
alone. It would have been far preferable if the Russians and others had
agreed to do it through the United Nations — they would not. I’m happy
that, in the face of such horrible suffering, we did act."
She’s
praising here her husband’s international crime, the interference with a
country’s sovereignty for fictional humanitarian reasons. No, the goal of the
war in Kosovo was not ethnic defense (Bill Clinton’s policy throughout the 90s
in the former Yugoslavia was to foment and prey on ethnic anarchy) but the
expansionist penetration of a foreign territory and the construction of one of
the largest military bases in Europe, at Camp Bondsteel, costing the American
people a good chunk of social services—possibly, his welfare “reform,” for
example.
Liberal
humanitarian warmongers peddle the ludicrous claim that “America is the
essential country” (Madeleine Albright) for safeguarding liberal democracy
throughout the world, sublimely indifferent to the evidence that the world
can’t wait to get America’s essentialism off its back. Hillary Clinton’s
belligerent foreign policy is notorious. She has promised to bomb Iran. She has
managed and supervised the destruction of Libya. She has organized the coups in
Paraguay and Honduras. Her neo-con team at the State Department funded and
organized the coup in Ukraine, Nazified its political, military, and cultural
life, triggering a civil war (while calling Putin “Hitler”).
HRC-Syria Policy
There’s no reason to believe that her carnivorous
humanitarian resources have been depleted since then. While Secretary of State
for Obama, she authorized the sale
of weapons to Qatar that she knew would go
to the Libyan rebels to topple Qaddafi and then go to Syria to arm al Qaeda to
overthrow Assad. She denied any involvement under oath. In an exclusive
interview with The Telegraph,
her campaign foreign policy adviser, Jeremy Bash, former Chief of Staff at the
Pentagon and CIA, said that she would work to get President Assad “out of
there”:
Julian Assange says “1,700 emails in Hillary Clinton’s collection” proves she sold weapons to ISIS in Syria.
"A Clinton administration will not shrink from making
clear to the world exactly what the Assad regime is. It is a murderous
regime that
violates human rights; that has violated
international law; used chemical weapons against his own people; has killed
hundreds of thousands of people, including tens of thousands of children.
If
Assad is as guilty as she was sure at the time Milosevic was, we’re in for
another international crime."
On Russia, the Council on Foreign Relations reports that
she’s calling for strengthening NATO and “tougher measures against Putin to
punish him for invading Ukraine and annexing Crimea as well as for supporting
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.” “I remain convinced,” they quote her, “that
we need a concerted effort to really up the cost on Russia and, in particular,
on Putin.” She considers that Russia’s intervention in Syria creates “chaos”:
"I
think it’s important too that the United States make it very clear to Putin
that it’s not acceptable for him to be in Syria creating more chaos, bombing
people on behalf of Assad, and we can’t do that if we don’t take more of a
leadership position, which is what I’m advocating."
Russia Today blames
Clinton’s outrageous Russophobia—“Hillary Clinton is the Bachman Turner
Overdrive of US politics”–on Obama’s mistake for allowing the Neo-con
contingent to dominate the State Department:
Obama’s
other mistake was to allow Hillary, as Secretary of State, to retain neocon
holdovers from the Bush administration on her Eastern Europe team. Even more
incredibly, Kerry then inherited them for the second term. “Obama allowed US
officials on the ground (in Ukraine and elsewhere) to pursue a grossly
irresponsible and provocative anti-Russian policy,” Anatol Lieven recently told
the Valdai Club. “What on earth, one may ask, was Victoria Nuland, a
neo-conservative State Department official married to the arch neocon Robert
Kagan, doing in the Obama administration at all, given that her attitudes run
clearly counter to his?”Lieven also pointed out that “figures like Nuland are
still favored by Hillary Clinton (Kagan is now moving into her political camp)
and much of the US foreign and security establishment; and that with regard to
Russia, that establishment is still conditioned to pursue what are in effect
Cold War attitudes.”
The Neo-Cons and “New” Imperialists
Hillary Clinton represents the
personification of rehabilitated imperialism, the overarching geopolitical
focus of American politics. That is why she will be the establishment’s
choice—tested and proven. She will press hard against the political independence
of Russia and the economic rise of China, a pressure that encapsulates American
foreign policy in the foreseeable future.
Neo-con
and neo-liberal promoters of the “new imperialism” are Western regime
intellectuals and historians such as Max Boot, Niall Ferguson, and Michael
Ignatieff.
As a
result, by 2003, the year of the invasion of Iraq, media pundits were busy
domesticating the word “empire.” American propaganda had proscribed the word
for decades on account of there being only one empire, which was “evil”: the
USSR. With the Soviet Union gone, America congratulated itself on being #1, the
sole super-power, the essential country, and, the old standby, the exceptional
country. None of these brands resonated with the force that the scope of
conquering the world required. To make matters worse, critics of the invasion
of Afghanistan and Iraq, were floating the un-American term “imperialism.”
Something had to be done. With the evil empire dead, the good empire could
re-emerge. Max Boot, Senior Fellow in National Security Studies at Council on
Foreign Relations, proposed “an American might to promote American
ideals”–messianic political morality at the point of a gun. He explained.
"In the
early twentieth century, Americans talked of spreading Anglo-Saxon civilization
and taking up the ‘white man’s burden’; today they talk of spreading democracy
and defending human rights. Whatever you call it, this represents an idealistic
impulse that has always been a big part in America’s impetus for going to war."
Soon
after 9/11, 2001, Boot had already invoked this impetuous idealism to respond
to the lament of suffering nations pining for the . . . return of a
British-style imperial ministration.
Afghanistan
and other troubled lands today cry out for the sort of enlightened foreign
administration once provided by self-confident Englishmen in jodhpurs and pith
helmets.
And in 2002, Boot wrote, “Imperialism used to be the
white man’s burden. This gave it a bad reputation. But imperialism doesn’t stop
being necessary because it is politically incorrect” (New York Times Magazine, July 28, 2002). Neoconservative William Kristol, of The Weekly Standard, said more tersely on Fox television at the time, “if
people want to say we’re an imperial power, fine.”If there is a place on earth
that is testy about Western imperialism, that place is China. If there is an
American official who has sorely tested China’s anti-colonial sensibility, that
person is Clinton. As First Lady, she rousingly declared that “women’s rights
are human rights” in Beijing at the UN World Conference on Women in 1995. As
Secretary of State, in 2011, she denounced China’s “deplorable” record of human
rights in an interview with Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic. Again in 2011, she proposed a US policy toward China as
one “of advancing democracy and human rights” in a Foreign
Policy article, titled “America’s Pacific
Century.”
To Chinese officials’ ear this aggressive insistence on
human rights sounded suspiciously like a systematic call for color revolution
in China. Her hostile intent, had already become apparent in 2010. At the ASEAN
Regional Forum in Hanoi, she confirmed China’s suspicion that she advocated a
US policy of containment by intervening in the territorial disputes of the
South China Sea. Recommending a “rebalance” of power in the disputed
areas, she
asserted that the US had “a national
interest in freedom of navigation, open access to Asia’s maritime commons, and
respect for international law in the South China Sea.”
China’s Foreign Minister at the time, Yang Jiechi, at
first walked out of the meeting, only to return an hour later with theominous
reminderthat “China is a big country and other
countries are small countries, and that’s just a fact.”
On the unpopular Trans-Pacific Trade Agreement, a pact
China correctly perceives as economic containment, she said in her debate with
Bernie Sanders on 4 February 2016 that she now opposes it after having
strenuously and enthusiastically supported it as Obama’s Secretary of State
until 2012 and beyond. Her flip-flops on the TPT are well documented here.
These three affinities—with finance, war, and
imperialism—make Hillary Clinton the perfect mate for president of the
financial-imperial White House. Picture her in jodhpurs and pith helmet astride
the financial bull, taking on the “white woman’s burden,” and riding the
humanitarian “savage wars for peace.” Stop worrying about Donald Trump
“Charybdis” and learn to avoid where the Basilisk treads, which will be
difficult. You can prepare by reviewing her record as “empire-slayer” here.
"I urged him to bomb." - Hillary Clinton
In
choosing between presidential candidates today, it’s best to stick to Bertie
Wooster’s advice about aunts: “It is no use telling me there are bad aunts and
good aunts. At the core, they are all alike. Sooner or later, out pops the
cloven hoof.”
They want to feel
safe, they want to be protected they want to live freely, they want to expand
their consciousness they want to explore their imagination and they want to
have a world that is supportive and okay with that.
