COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN INVESTMENTWATCH
“lib·er·al·ism (lĭb′ər-ə-lĭz′əm,
lĭb′rə-)
“A political theory
founded on the natural goodness of humans and the autonomy of the individual
and favoring civil and political liberties, government by law with the consent
of the governed, and protection from arbitrary authority.
“An economic theory in
favor of laissez-faire, the free market, and the gold standard.
“Now what part of this
definition fit the behavior and actions you describe as liberal? When did you
decide to change the definition of liberal?”
I completely agree with that comment by "spirittoo,"
on the definition of Liberals. Saying anything else is just nonsense, but we do
hear and read a lot of nonsense on the subject, especially from Americans.
For much of my adult life, the word, “liberal,” has been
twisted and abused beyond recognition in America.
There's long been what I can only call an intense,
years-long hate campaign, and it is difficult to understand just why that
should be.
The great irony is most of the people or institutions
referred to in all the spew of hatred are not even liberal, by any stretch of
the imagination.
Hillary, queen of corruption and killer, a liberal? Obama,
the mass killer, a liberal? The New York Times, the establishment's official
propaganda machine and supporter of every single imperial war, liberal?
America in fact has damned few real liberals. It is not a
nurturing place for liberal values.
I can only guess that all that stream of sewerage aimed at
liberals is intended to keep America as unfriendly a place for them as
possible. It serves as a kind of preventative spraying.
But it is strange, and it can’t help but remind me of the visceral
hatred of liberals we often see from Israel or apologists for Israel. Liberals
are, of course, hated there because they are the kind of people who oppose suppression
of rights, anti-democratic behavior, abuse, and aggression, and they are also
the kind of people who speak up on such matters, and their words go head-on
against the official myth of Israel as the Middle East’s only democracy, indeed
it is often phrased the Mideast’s only liberal democracy.
Could the hatred for liberals in America come from similar
dark places? I think it quite possible because America, despite its official
advertising brochures about rights and liberty, is in fact the metropolitan
center of a world empire.
Now, empires are not generally known as places overly
friendly to rights and liberty and democratic values, and this particular
empire is held together, and its rules are enforced, by the world’s most
terrifying military machine and a set of secret security organizations which
make the former East Germany’s Stasi seem a troupe of amateur bumblers.
It is hard to see a rational explanation otherwise for all
the endless ranting about “liberals,” although I do accept that irrationality
plays a considerable part in American politics.
However, the article's point about Obama having done the
same to Merkel is a true and important one: her personal phone was indeed tapped,
just as Trump says his was.
By all accounts, when she first found out, she was quite
upset and required some considerable soothing of her ruffled feathers.
So there is very little reason to doubt Obama tapped Trump's
phone, too, no matter what various hack officials may assert otherwise. After
all, the business of spies is lying, at least a major part of it.
Many people just do not seem to grasp that Obama is a very
dark figure and nothing like his public persona of smiling-faced bright boy.
I've long felt he is likely CIA, as, we know to a certainty,
was George Bush pere.
Nothing could make CIA happier than having a "made
man" in the executive mansion.
Who else kills thousands of women and children as Obama has
done while smiling except a psychopath, and who is a bigger employer of bright
psychopaths in the United States than the CIA?
Obama’s whole business of starting up the massive extrajudicial
assassination program - which, please note, is run by CIA - screams CIA
associations.
There are holes in his resume a number have noted, as we
might expect from a CIA recruit.
The whole blurriness around his birth also supports this
notion. The CIA often plays with the official records of its people to fog-up
their backgrounds.
