Kunstler: Light it Up?

Public Policy

The Guardians of the Galaxy at National Public Radio were beside themselves Wednesday night reporting that “the lights are blinking red for a 2018 election attack by Russia.” Well, isn’t that an interesting set-up? In effect, NPR is preparing its listeners in advance to reject and dispute the coming midterm election if they’re not happy with the results. Thus continues America’s institutional self-sabotage, with the help of a news media that’s become the errand boy of the Deep State.

What do I mean by the Deep State? The vested permanent bureaucracy of Washington DC, and especially its vastly overgrown and redundant “Intel Community,” which has achieved critical mass to take on a life of its own within the larger government, makes up its own rules of conduct, not necessarily within the rule of law, and devotes too much of its budget and influence defending its own prerogatives rather than the interests of the nation.

Personally, I doubt that President Putin of Russia is dumb enough to allow, let alone direct, his intel services to lift a finger “meddling” in the coming US midterm election, with this American intel behemoth vacuuming every digital electron on earth into the NSA’s bottomless maw of intercepted secrets. Mr. Putin must have also observed by now that the US Intel Community is capable of generating mass public hallucinations, to the beat of war-drums, and determined not to give it anything to work with. That’s my theory about what Russia is up to. If you have a better one, let’s hear it?

Another curious incident played out on CNN earlier this week when Max Boot, senior fellow at the Council of Foreign Relations (the Deep State faculty lounge) faced off against Russia historian/scholar Stephen F. Cohen of Princeton on Anderson Cooper’s prime-time show. “Russia is attacking us right now according to Trump’s own Director of National Security (Daniel Coates)!” Mr. Boot shrilly declared.

“I’ve been studying Russia for forty-five years,” Mr. Cohen replied, “I’ve lived in Russia and I’ve lived here. If Russia was attacking us, we would know it.”

“You’ve consistently been an apologist for Russia in those last 45 years,” Mr. Boot riposted.

“I don’t do defamation of people; I do serious analysis of serious national security policy,” Mr. Cohen rejoined. “When people like you call people like me ‘apologists for Russia’ because we don’t agree with your analysis, you are criminalizing diplomacy and detante and you are the threat to national security.”

Referee Anderson Cooper stepped in: “So, finally Stephen, you’re saying Russia was not attacking the United States?”

“Yes, I don’t think they attacked the United States,” Cohen said.

“You’re apologizing for Russia as we speak,” Mr. Boot inserted.

“This is low-level stuff that went on,” Mr. Cohen said. “It is not 9/11. It is not Pearl Harbor. It is not Russian paratroopers descending on Washington. This kind of hyperbole, ‘an attack on America,’ suggests that we need to attack Russia….I think Mr. Boot would have been happy if Trump had waterboarded Putin at the summit and made him confess….”

Notice how astonished Mr. Cooper was to hear the view that Russia did not attack the US. It’s inconceivable in the universe-as-known-to-CNN, so potent is the hallucination there that even the water-cooler is bubbling with angst. Oh, and by the way, do any of you readers actually know how the duties of the Director of National Security (Mr. Coates) differ from the Director of the CIA (Gina Haspel) or the Director of the NSA (Paul M. Nakasone)?

In case you are mystified as to why a considerable portion of the public is disgusted with the news media, it is as simple as this: they appear to be an instrument of that permanent government bureaucracy, doing its bidding, defending its criminal mischief, and covering up its dishonesty. Proof of that is the media’s conspicuous inattention to the now well-documented political depravity in another arm of the Intel Community, the FBI — a much more compelling story of villainy than 13 Russian Facebook trolls and the alleged (still unproven) hacking of the DNC.

Donald Trump, aka the Golden Golem of Greatness, may be an unappetizing and embarrassing president. But is the Deep State ready to start a world war just to shove him offstage? Or burn down the constitution? While CNN stands by with Jeri-cans of gasoline?

    absolutely mm, kunstler has veered in a very weird direction the last couple years.

    it’s fairly clear why the democrats in general have gone full russia and none of those reasons is elucidated above. there is a neo-con never-trumper wing that has been embraced by the #resistance, and they do see facing off against russia militarily as furthering their PNAC agenda, but there are literally like 20 of those guys.

  5. Davy on Fri, 3rd Aug 2018 6:09 pm 

    Kunstler’s critique is rock solid and I hope he keeps the pressure on the blind lying liberal wing that is destroying the once great liberal tradition of this country. The so called resistance is the errand boy of the corrupt deep state and little more than hooligans. CNN, should lose its license. Talk about a foul smell.

    DavyDonaldTurd (DDT) is a fine representation of the insanity and sickness that has pervaded Republican USA. DDT likes to crow about American exceptionalism, yet fails to recognize that Trump’s rise to President of the United States demonstrates this to be a lie. DDT celebrates a weak America and its cratering democracy as his political party seeks to destroy all things, good, decent and moral.
    DDT knows he’s a damaged soul beyond repair. Ergo the irrational displays of anger.

    “As Brzezinski stated in his Grand Chess Board book in 1997, “A power that dominates Eurasia would control two of the world’s three most advanced and economically productive regions… control over Eurasia would almost automatically entail Africa’s subordination, rendering the Western Hemisphere and Oceania (Australia) geopolitically peripheral to the world’s central continent. About 75 per cent of the world’s people live in Eurasia, and most of the world’s physical wealth is there as well, both in its enterprises and underneath its soil. Eurasia accounts for about three-fourths of the world’s known energy resources.”…

    Current Washington strategy is to target both the growing cooperation between China, Russia and Iran, ironically a result of inept US geopolitics since the past decade, and most especially target the great industrial “rejuvenation” of Chinese manufacturing. The problem is that China 2025 is the very basis of China’s strategy for future existence. Beijing does not see it as an option but rather as the plan.”

    China plans to be that power. That is causing grief to the dying empire. Too bad. The Us cannot stop it short of war and that would also end the Us.

    In case you missed it in the above referenced article:

    “Even with America’s military might spread thin, the war drums continue to sound as the Pentagon polices the rest of the world with more than 1.3 million U.S. troops being stationed at roughly 1000 military bases in over 150 countries.

    To this end, Americans are fed a steady diet of pro-war propaganda that keeps them content to wave flags with patriotic fervor and less inclined to look too closely at the mounting body counts, the ruined lives, the ravaged countries, the blowback arising from ill-advised targeted-drone killings and bombing campaigns in foreign lands, or the transformation of our own homeland into a warzone.

    Nowhere is this double-edged irony more apparent than during military holidays, when we get treated to a generous serving of praise and grandstanding by politicians, corporations and others with similarly self-serving motives eager to go on record as being pro-military.

    Yet war is a grisly business, a horror of epic proportions. In terms of human carnage alone, war’s devastation is staggering. For example, it is estimated that approximately 231 million people died worldwide during the wars of the 20th century. This figure does not take into account the walking wounded—both physically and psychologically—who “survive” war.

    War drives the American police state.”

    I am boney juan. I am getting together haying equipment for small batch haying for my goats. I have patches of great forage that I can’t reasonably get to with the big equipment. I have some hay fields that are dedicated to haying that I have people with big equipment come in to hay. These produce large round bails for my cows. I want to bail square bales for my goats myself. I want to do this throughout the year when the time is right. This is becoming ever so much important as the climate destabilizes. For example we are now in drought but there are still great forage spots I can get into with small equipment and cherry pick hay. Is that enough for me bonehead?

    holy carp bony juantard and team are obsessed with attacking supertrad and mr simon said nothing. i pledge impartiality and told mr. simon i headed his call for ceasefire and i stopped with my temporary ritrement. lo and below mr simon didn’t say antyhing about boney juantard and co. typical grand standing guy on the intardweb.

    anyways i believe in supertrads and the supertard generation warfare, i’m not a big fan of Iran’s 5th generation warfare.

    my question still unanswered: why hasn’t Iran used 5th generation warefare to harrass supertards’ navy?

  37. fmr-paultard on Sat, 4th Aug 2018 8:42 am 

    there is evidence that supertard generation warfare is inferior because supertards in lab coats and generals in a/c rooms are making the shots. this is a testimony of such supertards regarding the a10 vs f35. a10 has over 1000 rounds for close air support and f35 only 180.
