America's Political Implosion

Le roi est de plus en plus nu

Il faut lire cet article de Finian Cunningham avec le plus grand intérêt. Cunningham est un auteur renommé dans la presse alternative et antiSystème, avec les positions générales qu'on connaît ou reconnaît. Ses approches des USA vont dans le sens de la dénonciation des méthodes, de la puissance abusive, des intrigues et des montages qui saccagent les souverainetés des autres, c'est-à-dire de toutes les productions catastrophiques de l'idéologie de l'américanisme.

C'est-à-dire que, d'une façon générale et selon le point de vue principal de son analyse, son approche l'écarte de l'analyse disons "objective" de l'état interne (ontologique) des USA. Nous voulons parler de la sorte d'analyse comme on en trouve souvent dans dedefensa.org ; et pour cette raison nous mettons des guillemets à "objective" car cette "objectivité"-là est celle de l'analyse technique des crises, la position politique (la nôtre) étant évidemment par contraste volontairement débarrassé de toute "objectivité" considérée comme une "valeur" de la modernité, venue de l'esprit scientifique moderne ; donc, au contraire, d'une sorte de "subjectivité objective", d'un complet parti-pris contre le pouvoir de l'américanisme considéré comme le bras armé du Système, considéré dans son ontologie bien au-delà de l'idéoilogie qu'il illustre et sécrète.

C'est une des premières fois, peut-être la première fois nous semble-t-il, que Cunningham traite de la crise ontologique de l'Amérique plus que des effets et des avatars de sa puissance, donc de son idéologie. On le voit donc dans sa conclusion où c'est l'état de l'Amérique seule, l'agression de l'Amérique contre elle-même, qui sont traitées, et non plus l'Amérique dans ses rapports agressifs et catastrophiques avec les autres...

« L'implosion politique qui s'accélère aux États-Unis met un terme aux proclamations américaines souvent répétées selon lesquelles leur nation est le modèle de la vertu démocratique "sacrée" et de l'État de droit. Et ceux qui font du tort à la politique américaine et à sa Constitution sont des Américains "patriotes", et non la Russie ou tout autre adversaire étranger imaginé.
» N'est-ce pas là une justice poétique après toutes ces décennies de calomnie, de tromperie et de vanité américaine "exceptionnelle" autoproclamée.
» L'Amérique est en guerre contre elle-même. Ce sont les Américains eux-mêmes qui détruisent leur propre système politique, et peut-être même la société, avec leurs propres mains et leur cerveau paranoïaque, - sans aucune aide d'un "ennemi étranger". »

Pour nous de telles évolutions dans les perceptions aiguisées sur une orientation spécifique du phénomène de déstructuration des USA, comme l'est Cunningham, des méfaits de l'idéologie à la crise de l'ontologie, constituent évidemment un signe de plus de la gravité absolument exceptionnelle, sinon unique et décisive, de cette crise en cours à Washington D.C. ("D.C.-la-folle"). Il n'y a pas, aujourd'hui, chose plus importante que cette crise pour faire avancer peut-être, sans doute même décisivement, la dynamique crisique. Tout acte dans ce sens (comme l'est la fonction du commentateur antiSystème) participe de cette dynamique crisique qui est finalement celle de l'effondrement du Système.

America's Political Implosion

The polarization in American politics has become so extreme there seems no longer to be any center ground. The political establishment is consequently imploding into an abyss of its own making.

President Trump is being driven into an impeachment process by Democrats and their media supporters who accuse him of being "unpatriotic" and a danger to national security.

Trump and Republicans hit back at Democrats and the "deep state" whom they condemn for conspiring to overthrow the presidency in a coup dressed up as "impeachment".

The White House is being subpoenaed, the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives wants to access transcripts to all of Trump's phone calls to foreign leaders; Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has blasted congressmen for "harassing the State Department" in their search of evidence to indict Trump. Trump calls the impeachment bid a "witch-hunt".

Republican Representatives protest that the US is facing a dark day of constitutional crisis, whereby opposing Democratic party leaders are abusing their office by accusing Trump of "high crimes" without ever presenting evidence.

It's an Alice in Wonderland scenario writ large, where the gravest verdict is being cast before evidence is presented, never mind proven; the president is guilty until proven innocent.

Trump, in his turn, has berated senior Democrat Adam Schiff, the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, for "treason" - a capital offense. Are federal police obliged to arrest him? Schiff is accused of colluding with a supposed CIA whistleblower in concocting the complaint that Trump tried to extort Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to dig dirt on Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

There seems no end to this political civil war in the US. The American political class is literally tearing itself apart, destroying its ability to govern with any normal function.

So-called liberal media outlets, in lockstep with the Democrats, inculpate Trump for wrongdoing, while they staunchly assert that credible reports of Joe Biden abusing his former vice presidential office to enrich his son over Ukraine gas business are false. Many Americans don't see it that way. They see Biden as being up to his neck in past corruption; they also see a flagrant double-standard of the establishment protecting Biden from investigation while hounding Trump at every possible opportunity, even when evidence against Trump is scant.

What Trump is being subjected to is the same "highly probable" paranoia that Russia has been subjected to by Washington over recent years. Guilt is asserted without evidence. It becomes a "fact" by endless repetition of baseless claims, such as Russia allegedly interfering in US elections, or allegedly destabilizing Ukraine. Hundreds of economic sanctions have been imposed on Moscow as a result of this blame game, a game that, ironically, Trump has also indulged.

Ironically, Trump and the very highest political office of president is getting the same phobic treatment. No matter that the two-year Mueller Report into alleged Trump-Russia collusion collapsed in a pile of dust for lack of evidence, the Democrats and their media, as well as their deep state patrons, have persisted to accuse the president of enlisting a foreign power, Ukraine, to boost his electoral chances.

The transcript of Trump's phone call with Ukraine's Zelensky back in July shows he did not make a quid pro quo demand linking US military aid to a requested investigation into alleged corruption by former Vice President Joe Biden. Nevertheless, Democrats and their political establishment allies are relentless in pursuing the impeachment of Trump. Based on such flimsy reasoning, this impeachment process looks like a euphemism for "coup" - to overturn the result of the 2016 presidential election. The so-called "Russiagate" debacle failed for lack of evidence; now it is "Ukrainegate" that is the pretext for pushing the coup attempt.

Under freedom of information release, Judicial Watch in the past week has  uncovered categorical proof that the Mueller probe was a coup attempt to oust Trump. Unsealed communications between the Department of Justice, FBI and liberal media outlets show a clear motive and deliberate orchestration to topple Trump based on no evidence of wrongdoing.

America's democracy and constitution is being trashed by unelected shadowy forces, aided and abetted by prestigious media outlets like the New York Times. These forces presume to know better or have more privilege than their fellow Americans who "voted the wrong way".

The inescapable conclusion is that powerful political forces within the US simply do not recognize the democratic rights of the electorate who voted Trump into office. Not only do these forces not respect democratic principle, they also, patently, do not respect due legal process or the high offices of their own government. This is a lurking ideology of dictatorship and fascism. Paradoxically, these labels are pinned on the maverick Trump. More accurately, they apply to the politicians and media who claim to be "liberal" and "democrats".

The accelerating political implosion in the US nails the lie to oft-repeated American proclamations about their nation being the paragon of "sacred" democratic virtue and rule of law. And the people who are doing the damage to US politics and its constitution are "patriotic" Americans, not Russia or any other imagined foreign adversary.

Is that not poetic justice after all the decades of calumny, deception and self-declared "exceptional" American vanity.

America is at war with itself. It is Americans themselves who destroying their own political system, and perhaps even the very society, with their own hands and their addled, paranoid brains - without any assistance from a "foreign enemy".
