is evidence of a profound disaffection for and disillusionment with, not Obama, not the Republicans, not the Democrats, but with the entire political process itself. There is a contempt expressed for “politics” and a feeling that we are listening to a man who is finished with “politics”.
This contempt for the political process is accompanied by respect for the military and perhaps an (unstated) opinion that the military is a stable American institution of last resort.
This is a very dangerous concatenation of sentiments. It is typical of the sort of sentiment that one finds in that cornucopea of social and economic justice, Mexico.
Mexico is a country dear to the hearts of all oligarchs. It is a very wealthy country, looted for centuries by its leading families. I would imagine that many an oligarch in the United States looks south across the border to Mexico, with envy in his heart, thinking “If only our country were a little more like Mexico.”
“If only we could be done with politics. We control both of the major political parties now, so we are, in important ways, already done with politics, but wouldn’t it be nice to simply dispense with the whole charade once and for all. How can we go about doing this?”
Well, for years now, a disgruntled (read: mad as hell) Texan, named Alex Jones, has been chronicling the disappearance of American civil and legal rights and the rise of the methods of the police state in the US. Alex has been whipping people into a froth over what he sees as the destruction of the political birthright of the American people by the American elite and foreign financial interests.
Pieczenik and Alex have a lot in common, but they differ in one very important way. Alex hasn’t given up on the political process. He encourages people to get involved in the political process and to take their rights back. Alex is not stumping for a military coup, but Pieczenik might be.
Recently we had a military coup in Egypt. It was disguised as a popular revolution, but when the dust settled the Egyptian Army, the same folks who backed Mubarak, were still in power and acting as traffic directors for the “new” political formations.
The Egyptian situation makes a nice comparison with what might be coming into being in the United States. You have a popular revolution (people like Alex Jones) uniting with representatives of the military (like Steven Pieczenik).
In the case of Egypt the same old folks seem to be in power, but a bothersome middleman was removed using people power in an innovative way to the ultimate benefit of the old oligarchy and foreign interests.
Wouldn’t it be ironic if Alex Jones and the 9/11 Truth Movement became tools used by the old American oligarchs to prepare the way for a military coup, engineered by the oligarchs, and designed to turn America into a much, much nicer place, a country more like Mexico, a military and police state with the old oligarchs pulling the strings?
Is Obama being set up to have the rug pulled out from under him and the entire American political process? Are you and I helping things along? Are we all being used by very smart people who have held real power for a very very long time?
