Dropping the Façade: Propaganda, Power, and the Absurdity of Empire
by Chris MacIntosh
*** begin quote ***
It’s like we’re living in a live Monty Python skit. If we are to consider that the Trump administration can end wars started by previous administrations (pretty easy to cut the funding), then the current podium donut of the Deep State in the US has failed spectacularly.
Existing wars: Ukraine and Israel’s war. Can’t really call it a war, but… well, that conflict.
Trump has continued to fund the oligarchs in Ukraine. He’s continued to fund the Zionists’ genocide in Gaza. He’s bombed Iran on behalf of his handlers. He’s bombed Yemen, funded and assisted in the overthrow of Syria and installed the previous head of ISIS (you can’t make this shit up). And he’s now threatening war with both Venezuela and Colombia on the laughable excuse of “drug trafficking.”
It is the most insane inversion of the truth. I understand how history tends to unfold, and reading through the collapse of previous empires I’m quite sure that none were so terribly absurd as this. Curiously, the rest of the world is no longer playing by the empire’s rules.

In this article, he uses “words” and phrases that are really quite good. I particularly like the phrase “podium donuts” to describe pundit and spokespeople who say a lot of words but really say nothing. There is a “word” “shulbit” which I haven’t heard since I worked on Wall Street. They used it to describe politely <synonym for excrement from a male cow> accounting.
The substance of the whole rant is that DJT4547 could stop these conflicts with the stroke of his pen. What can anyone do to him? That hasn’t been done already. Impeachment? Sure go ahead and try. He can’t be reelected, so there’s no threat there. “They” have already tried to kill him twice.
DJT wants to have legacy? Just cutoff the money supply to ALL foreign and domestic war mongers.
Remember Gandhi? He stopped Muslim Hindu violence cold with a hunger strike.
That’s a peace prize that is within his grasp if he just has the stones to do it.
I’d like to think I could, but it would take a heroic level of courage.
