War Requires More Unity than the US can Muster

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

This meeting of Putin with the Russian State Duma Leaders of all the political parties on July 7 shows a solidarity that is obviously missing in the US. http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/68836

The US is riven with conflicting interests even to the point that one political party has weaponized the US Department of Justice against the other and is attempting to demonize a former US president as an insurrectionist who is falsely charged for organizing a coup in order to hold onto power.

Not only is there no political unity, or any basis for such, in the US, but also the Democrats’ Identity Politics has destroyed the possibility of any societal unity.  Neither is there any moral unity.  On top of it all, respect for the Constitution and the separation of powers has declined to the point that agenda-driven power grabs have become common.

As I recently said, the United States is a geographical location, not a nation.  We should keep in mind our riven state of being before we get ourselves in a war with a united country like Russia.

It should be fun if the Ching Chong just rolls in and takes Taiwan in the winter.

We have not been “United” for 160 years. Abe drove a permanent wedge through the nation and it gets deeper and deeper every year, driving us farther and farther apart.

Unfortunately those young men were played and used.Like every generation in this country . They only care about patriotism when they want to sent your kids off to die to preserve the Jew world order. Hitler was right and we would have been better off if he won

“This” war, the continuous war of all against all that is imp•olite society (& always has been & always will be) “requires” (what is already always there, in spades) imp•unity.

(And gulligoyles, too, on petrified three-hour tours in the Nam”aste”.)

noun
a little devil or demon; an evil spirit.
a mischievous child.
Archaic. a scion or offshoot of a plant or tree.
Archaic. an offspring.
verb (used with object)
Falconry.
1. to graft (feathers) into a wing.
2. to furnish (a wing, tail, etc.) with feathers, as to make good losses or deficiencies and improve powers of flight.

The subject of friends, friendship, came up in conversation recently. But the abject subjectivity-superficiality of “friend” is surround … just like water is to those fish that don’t know what water is.

People perform the friendly (civil, courteous, etc) role with/at each other. They like to say, also, that’s part of “getting to know.” They say “first impressions” & “best foot forward.” They say, if prodded, all that’s just “to break the ice.” And that once the ice is cubed (borg’d) & chipped & crushed, why then the friending can, & does, commence.

No, it doesn’t.

Inauthentic foundation, leaning tower of Pissants… with prominent gargoyleminences perched at the top.

That old TV show. “Friends.” Actors perfoming friendly & insisting its friendship. Art, in a low gear, imitating life.

Friends to mystery & curiosity are some scientist-types. Often that is too selfish, apparently, because often appended is “for the benefit of humanity” – these friendlies would have it that they are *everybodys’* friend. One small step for man, but here, I gift you a giant leap, cuz that’s just the kinda guy *I* am.

Alas, they also like to deny moral/trespassive complicity/culpability/agency/responsibility for what the people they work for – or the people they sell to – do with their discoveries & creations … “that’s not my compartment-cubicle…my hands & conscience are clean…my good intentions are not tyrannical.” (The V dude: “I have not come for what you hoped to do, I’ve come for what you’ve done.”)

So how does that work, in terms of the old saw, about the urge to save (or love, or befriend) humanity? Look around. You are surrounded by how that works. And it is fractal, in the so-called “up” direction. Nothing compounds faster & farther than fraud.

Nobody who claims to, or claims to want to, friend (love, save) everybody is friend (loves, saves) to anybody … themselves, these reverse Blanche Dubois, least of all.
