The threat of fascism is very real in the United States, and it can be seen in the immense institutional pressure to secure a new presidency under the nominal authority of the hapless Joe Biden. The increasing censorship enforced by the tech giants (and demanded by foolish politicians) threatens the ability of people to freely communicate on the urgent matters facing them, and to be confronted by challenges to their viewpoints.
Consider the coverup of the increasingly voluminous documentation of corrupt financial dealings by Joe Biden and his family, centered on his son Hunter. This material is being covered up (at least until Kamala Harris would be able safely to take over the country) by heavy-handed blocking of posts, the hiring of a legion of tens of thousands of content moderators, and reliance on “tips” from the FBI. The heads of Google, Facebook, and Twitter testified before the Senate Commerce Committee on Wednesday, and acknowledged that they had no actual evidence that the stories about the Hunter Biden “Laptop from Hell” were false or a product of Russian disinformation.
President Donald Trump, who has been increasingly attacked and gagged by the social media giants, has come out swinging, demanding a reinterpretation of the applicability of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act to these content providers that are drifting from their origins as a public bulletin board to curated purveyors of favored content. Who would think that a Biden-Harris administration would fight against this corrosive regime of censorship, created to install them into office?
How can the coup against Trump — led by the British and American intelligence agencies — be defeated and the right of citizens freely to elect their leaders be restored, if the perpetrators are not investigated, rooted out, prosecuted, and punished?
Defeating the coup brings with it a wholesome reflection on the broader nature of the British Empire and its influence over U.S. and world policy, a reflection that will be a powerful component of charting a new economic course in the trans-Atlantic world, one based on the physical economic development that distinguishes us from the animals, rather than one based on financial thievery — born of a desire to rule over a fixed, anti-human world — that would receive Satan’s approbation?
The need for a radical shift in economics and statecraft is urgent. Think of the enormous frauds perpetrated on Wall Street and in the City of London, where money is created out of thin air in a process that loots the physical economy. Think of the millions of people who have already died from famine this year, and the tens of millions more whose lives hang in the balance. And that is considering only the present! What of the tens or hundreds of millions of people who died unnecessarily, or were never born, over the past several decades during which a great opportunity for progress was squandered and prevented?
And consider the threat of war, escalating weekly under the provocations of agents of an imperial view that is in no nation’s self-interest. The ending of the ABM and INF treaties, the threatened expiration of the New START treaty, the Ukraine coup, and, of course, the fraud of Russiagate, are creating increasing and totally unnecessary conflict with Russia. The attacks on China’s rise, and of its Belt and Road Initiative to bring the lessons it has learned from its own development to the world (developing new markets for its current and future products), which had reached a high point under Obama, had receded with Trump’s election and his oft-repeated statement that a good relationship with China and Russia is “a good thing, not a bad thing.” But outright lies and wild exaggerations about China’s culpability for the spread of COVID-19, along with the operations of British and U.S. intelligence, are creating an atmosphere of hostility, combined with military provocations. As he announced the arrest of five Chinese nationals in the United States on Wednesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray repeated his vision of the world: China’s growth towards being the most powerful nation on the planet must be stopped, and the FBI considers its contributions towards this effort to be one of its primary missions.
But the greatest threat to the United States and the world is not Russia, or China. It is the toleration over the past half-century of a logic of economic, social, and political thinking that is now culminating, as it fractures, into an all-out effort to prevent any possible change. The central political pillar of this effort? The coup against Trump.
To create a world that the future will be proud of us for having won, requires a long-term economic vision. It requires far-reaching aspirations for scientific discovery and space exploration. And it requires a defeat of the anti-human intelligence nexus found in Russiagate.
