America
Discredited
As
Washington loses its grip on the world, defied by Venezuela, Bolivia,
Ecuador, and now Russia, the US government resorts to public temper
tantrums. The constant demonstration of childishness on the part of
the White House and Congress embarrasses every American.

Washington’s
latest outburst of childish behavior is a response to the Russian
Immigration Service granting US whistleblower Edward Snowden asylum
in Russia for one year while his request for permanent asylum is
considered. Washington, having turned the US into a lawless state, no
longer has any conception of legal procedure. Law is whatever serves
Washington. As Washington sees it, law is nothing but Washington’s
will. Any person or country that interferes with Washington’s will
is behaving unlawfully.
Because
Obama, like Bush before him, routinely disobeys US law and the US
Constitution, the White House actually thinks that Russian President
Putin should disobey Russian and international law, overturn the
Russian Immigration Service’s asylum decision, and hand over
Snowden to Washington.
Washington
expected Russia to hand over Snowden simply because Washington
demanded it. Like a two-year old, Washington cannot conceive that its
demands don’t take precedence over international law and the
internal legal procedures of every country. How dare Russia stand up
for law against “the indispensable nation.”
The
White House spokesman, who is so unimpressive that I cannot remember
his/her name/gender, declared that the White House moron might punish
Putin by not going to visit him in Moscow next month. I doubt Putin
cares whether the WH moron shows up.
The
WH moron’s term of office is close to an end, but Putin, unless the
CIA assassinates him, will be there for another decade. Moreover,
every Russian leader has learned that a US president’s word means
nothing. Clinton, the two Bushes and the current WH moron violated
every agreement that Reagan made with Gorbachev. Why would the
president of Russia, a nation ruled by law, want to meet with a
tyrant?
Not
to be outdone by the WH in childish behavior, members of the House
and Senate added their two-bits to America’s embarrassment.
Congressional morons “reacted furiously,” according to news
reports, and warned “of serious repercussions in US-Russian
relations.” Here we have another extraordinary demonstration of
Washington’s hubris. Only Russia has to worry about repercussions
in the relationship. Washington doesn’t have to worry. His Imperial
Majesty will simply deny Putin an audience.
Congress
seems unaware of its schizophrenia. On the one hand Congress is
outraged about the National Stasi Agency’s illegal and
unconstitutional spying–especially on Congress–and is attempting
to defund the Stasi Agency’s surveillance program. The amendment to
the military spending bill by Justin Amash, a Republican from
Michigan, almost passed. The amendment was barely defeated by votes
purchased by the spy industry.
On
the other hand, despite its outrage over being spied upon, Congress
wants the scalp of the brave hero, Edward Snowden, who informed them
that they were being spied upon. Here we have a demonstration of the
historical stupidity of government–shoot the messenger.
Only
a few right-wing crazies believe that universal surveillance of every
American is necessary to US security. The National Stasi Agency will
fight hard and blackmail every member of the House and Senate, but
the blackmail itself will lead to the National Stasi Agency’s wings
being clipped, or so we can hope. If it is not done soon, the Stasi
Agency will have time to organize a false flag event that will
terrify the sheeple and bring an end to the attempts to rein in the
rogue agency.
The
United States is on the verge of economic collapse. The alleged
“superpower,” a bankrupt entity, was unable after 8 years of
efforts to occupy Iraq and had to give up. After 11 years the
“superpower” has been defeated in Afghanistan by a few thousand
lightly armed Taliban, and is now running for cover with its tail
between its legs.
Washington
compensates for its military impotency by committing war crimes
against civilians. The US military is a great killer of women,
children, village elders, and aid workers. All the mighty
“superpower” can do is to lob missiles shot from pilotless drones
into farm houses, mud huts, schools, and medical centers.
The
schizophrenic denizens of Washington have made Americans a hated
people. Those with the foresight to know to escape from the growing
tyranny also know that wherever they might seek refuge, they will be
seen as vermin from the most hated nation and subjected to being
scapegoated as spies and evil influences, and at risk of being
decimated in reprisals against Washington’s latest atrocity.
Washington
has destroyed the prospects of Americans both at home and abroad.
