I always admire Mr Uhler’s postings, but wonder if he is being facetious when he speaks of US forces winning the Second World War with ‘indispensable assistance’ from the Soviet Union. It was the other way around, Mr Uhler! And, as we know, while the Soviet Union was defeating Nazism, the US was contacting Nazis, organising their future employment with the American Reich, rushing to complete atomic weapons with which to threaten the world and preparing the ‘architecture for post-war economic domination and exploitation. That little enterprise, cloaked for a while under the fraudulent euphemism of Cold War, but continued with even greater ferocity after the Communist chimera disappeared, has killed tens of millions, impoverished hundreds of millions and destroyed the planet’s life support systems. I am interested in Anderson and Cayton’s view of Yankee self-delusion, and it is apparent that the tremendous and constant ‘brainwashing’ the average Yank endures, that re-inforces the silly lie that their country is a beneficient force in the world, plus a tremendous innate racism, goes some way to explain the trademark murderousness of US power. I mean, it’s hard to imagine any Nazi uttering Madeleine Albright’s infamous words, that it was ‘Worth it’, when confronted with the deaths of 500,000 children in Iraq, caused by sanctions she knew were no longer required, as the entire US power elite knew, with certainty, that Iraq had disarmed within a couple of years of the 1991 Gulf War.
While self-delusion and poisonous ignorance, and constant lying propaganda explain the attitudes of the average Yank, I do not believe for an instant that the hereditary Yankee elite are so stupid. For them the aim, from the time of Jamestown and certainly from the time of Independence, has been Empire, its extent at first the Western Hemisphere, then later the world. It has been driven by greed, and racism, the fervent belief that the Christian white-man is the apex of existence. It is and has always been Messianic, and obsessed with dark visions of Evil that must be annihilated. The roots of this ghastly exterminism can be found in the Old Testament, where the lurid tales of God-ordained extermination of Canaanites, Moabites, Philistines etc were quoted directly as some sort of Divine guidance as the settlers set out on expeditions against the ‘Indians’, where they made sure to follow God’s explicit instructions to kill the women and children, and burn the crops. The Biblical injunction to genocide is still there to this day, Holy Writ to both Judeofascists and Christian fascists, who have joined in a ghastly Crusade to kill as many Amalek (to use the Judaic term for God’s eternal enemy, who must be destroyed, utterly)as possible. The deliberate starvation of Gaza, is, in my opinion, the latest fruit of this Divine plan.
As for Iraq, the US policy from the beginning has been to deliberately foment civil war. The various plans to smash the Arab and other Muslim states into powerless fragments, along ethnic and sectarian lines, most of which emanate from Zionist circles and their neo-con brothers-in-arms, demand Shia be set against Sunni. This has been US policy in Iraq. First the Shia are armed, death-squads set up, and they and the Kurds set on the Sunni. Then the Sunni are armed, and turned on the Shia. The resistance is labeled, falsely and moronically, as al Qaeda. Intellectuals are hunted down, assassinated, or flee. There has been no attempt to repair basic infrastructure and infant mortality is higher than under the sanctions-as ever children are a deliberate target. Aerial bombing is escalating, but no attempt made to count the dead ‘rag-heads’. This is, of course, different from Nazi crimes only in its one-sidedness, in the willing complicity of the media propaganda apparatus and the truly unspeakably wicked posture of the intellectual classes of the West, who stage countless ‘discussions’ concerning the fraudulent ‘War on Terror’, where the basic premise is always that it is the West that is under attack from the Moslem world.
As for McCain-I will always remember hearing a speech he gave in the UK, broadcast on the radio. For sheer psychotic self-delusion and maniacal assertion of US uniqueness and moral perfection, I’ve heard nothing like it. Coming from a man who is, in my opinion, a murdering thug, who made his mark killing Vietnamese women and children in that war of aggression and cowardly mass murder, it was particularly sickening. As for McCain’s ‘torture’ at the hands of the Vietnamese, well, first, I tend not to believe it, the Vietnamese seeming to my eyes to be immensely more humane than the standard-bearers of Western Civilization. In comparison to the vicious brutality of the ‘tiger cages’, Operation Phoenix and the rampages of various torturing, murdering death-squads that the Yanks set loose on the Vietnamese,McCain’s accommodation was luxurious and his treatment 5 star. Moreover, if I’d been a Vietnamese peasant who got his hands on one of the cowardly bastards who thought they had a divine right to cross the world to kill my family and neighbours, we would not be talking of John McCain today, at all.
