Liquidating the American presidency
The records of recent US presidents mark the final liquidation of the office.
What is touted as the election of a US president is actually a liquidation of the office. The office has been liquidated by the corruptions it serves. After all the hype and hoopla delusion must become resolution and remediation.
If we wonder why the West is immersed in endless chaos, war and social decline it is because social contracts have been shattered. Governments of the West are no longer democratic or autonomous, reduced to being agents of the globalist predacious vested interests and lobbyists controlling them.
“The United States is an irresponsible empire. It devastates countries and leaves them in shambles, with no compensation. Its actions are increasingly destructive because the purpose is not in reality to build an empire, but to destroy real or potential rivals{Wolfowitz Doctrine} and so maintain the position of superiority gained in World War II.”— Diana Johnstone, Queen of Chaos: The Misadventures of Hillary Clinton, {required reading}

When it comes to atrocities there are great debates to be held. Where lies the culpability, with the individual or with the system they “lead”? Is it shared, if so to what degree?
There used to be the adage that if bad things happen on a leaders watch they take responsibility accordingly up to and including being fired, forced to resign or hung by the neck. In these backassword times all this is long gone as there is a complete dissolution of truth, decency and honor among thieves. Truth has become how many lies and atrocities can politicians get away with. Decency is the smirk that betrays the lie. Dishonor is measured in dollars passed under the tables.
The American presidency is presumptuously the leader of the “free world” which in itself has become an archaic term as what was, if ever, now long gone, a phantasm in passing. What remains of so called Western Civilization is expected to pay passive homage to the great disconnect where we are the lemmings being led over the cliff by derelict souls. No complaining, no protest just smothering pillow talk where there is blood on the walls.
This is a time when presumption becomes jocular and jugular in the theater of the absurd. Oprah and the Obamas preen before the cameras and teleprompters at what is an over wrought high school pep rally where the lemmings cheer themselves into hysterical denialism and crippling passivity.
What is supposed to be a presidential election has become a final foreclosure, a liquidation of the presidency. American Journalist Diana Johnstone defined the presidency as a visiting CEO presiding over a board of directors where the decisions have already been made. Confirmation of her observation is easily found in HOPELESS, Barack Obama and the Politics of Illusion , a collection of devastating essays on the Obama presidency. In her book, The Queen of Chaos, Johnstone reveals Hillary Clinton as the Lady Macbeth of American politics— aspiring to the presidency with her tarnished resume saw Donald Trump win by default.
The office of the president took a dramatic down turn with the rise of Bush ll (2001-2009) who spent a good part of his absentee presidency chopping wood on his Texas ranch. Thus, leaving the sinister Dick Cheney to be the de facto president. Bush quickly earned the title of being the worst president ever as documented in David Ray Griffin’s book, Bush and Cheney, how they ruined America and the world
In the spirit of bipartisanship they were not alone in their sinister ruination. Then senator Joe Biden was their avid supporter in one of the greatest war crimes ever, the 2003 plunder and pillaging of Iraq, the malicious destruction of a country and its peoples based on lies.
After serving as Obamas vice-president and waiting-out Trump’s single term Biden became president in January 2021.
Where the “Queen of Chaos” aspired to the highest office Biden became her stand-in. Both, more than willing to swim with the sharks in the unremitting violence and chaos of the empire. Both in contempt of the failed Republic once touted as so sacred, now in tatters.
Biden wasted no time in provoking a war against Russia with Ukraine as the sacrificial pawn. A war that was one too many exposing the treachery of the empire. Now Ukraine is ruined and the blowback has devastated Europe and shown NATO as the cowardly incompetent lion. Zelensky’s failure is another NATO failure. Now the world is screaming for peace with none to be had as the empire cannot face the humiliation of defeat, mired in the not-so-grand strategies of the 20th Century.
Where presidents so often use war as a distraction from domestic policy failures; a presidential election now serves as a mass distraction for a foreign war lost and a hideous genocide ongoing.
Not content with one war lost the Zionist president scorned his presidential obligations to the Republic to co-sponsor a hideous genocide, now in imminent danger of escalating out of control into a larger war.
Not content to be at war on two fronts Biden plays the insane game of brinkmanship with China. China is a builder (watch the video below) while America is the egregious spoiler, seeing the world only in hostile terms where it shuns diplomacy and any iota of cooperation with members of the global community. As it cannibalizes its own allies it pursues absolute dominance with a petulance unbecoming its place in the world and totally destructive of its international credibility.
It clings to the bogus and racist notion it is the exceptional nation above all others. Biden and too many of his predecessors are the embodiment of what is wrong with America, as they are puppets to the empire in betrayal of the Republic.
Biden remaining as a lame duck president confirms the liquidation of the office of president. As long as he speaks to the “business” of the empire his tenure is extended, who replaces him matters not. The office is guarded against those who do not speak the empire’s deadly lingo. The electoral system is rigged to block reform candidates. Lobbyists will spend big cash to unseat dissenting viewpoints.
For America, and the West it has led down the garden path, the challenge is: When does liquidation end and remediation begin?
As long as the West is wedded to its jingoistic insularity there is little hope for progressive change. It can only see itself as the supreme hegemon unwittingly goosestepping to the margins. Where the East is in ascent the West is in decline and its warfaring intransigence is accelerating the decline. Imperial overreach is the death knell of empires.
As Chalmers Johnson pointed out you can have democracy or empire, but not both. As it is now the trappings of democracy serve as window dressing for the empire Standing ovations in congress and conventions pay homage to the empire as the tribute taxes cannibalize the economy.
The terms of the most recent presidents mark the final liquidation of the office of president to where it is the manifestation and totality of the crimes and corruptions of the empire, all at the expense of the Republic.
The presidency is gone. Now we await the arrival of the first emperor or empress and their gilded entourage.
It is utterly naive of electorates to believe a new president, prime minister, or chancellor is going to make a difference when they are no more than hostages to the vested interests and corruptions controlling them.
