The field day that the Democratic Party has had in Congress attacking members of the Trump administration for their use of a Signal group to discuss the barbaric attack on Yemen speaks volumes about the complete decay of that party and of its inability to offer even symbolic opposition to the drive for totalitarian government by the Trump administration. The truth is that Democrats are as much a part of the drive for dictatorship as is the Netanyahu administration in Jerusalem. The bogus soap opera about Bernie Sanders trying to keep down a progressive AOL fell flat in this political morgue.
To start with, hours of debate in Congress, and hundreds of hours of media time were wasted on the question of whether foreign intelligence might have been able to access these conversations. No one asked why Yemen needed to be attacked, why people had to be killed in this pointless show of force. Nor did anyone ask what this attack had to do with the efforts to launch a total war against Iran through an alliance between the United States and Israel based on classified agreements and treaties.
No one talked about how a war-time governance system and war time economy are being assembled, step by step, right now in the United States—the ban on anti-semitism being the main excuse for the switch to a wartime control of information.
Most likely the entire Signal story is a fairytale meant to distract us from the real move to ramp up for war with Iran. Filling up the feeble minds of the policy wonks with such dribble is the best distraction.
No one asked who is really giving the orders in the White House, and why. Certainly, Trump is not capable ordering anything but Diet Coke.
No one asked about the outsourcing of the entire military chain of command to private multinational firms like Palantir that work hand in hand with private equity.
Most importantly, the entire attack on the Trump administration by the Democrats was based on the assumption that their greatest sin was that they might have allowed some secrets out.
In fact, any real opposition to the Trump administration would demand that everything since the state crimes of 2001 be declassified in full so that we can at last have a reckoning with the criminal dictatorship that has been running the nation since then. We need to end all the secrets, not to increase them.
What about the new systems of low-orbit satellites and the new generation of drones that will be deployed?
What about the new nanotechnology weapons systems that will be deployed?
What about the various underground tunnel digging drones and other devices being used to create enormous underground military facilites and tunnels around the world in preparation for a war like none other?
What about the plans to destroy the entire economy as a means of rendering citizens incapable of protesting anything when the complete military government is rolled out?
Well, you will not hear any Democrats bringing up these subjects!
