Bipartisan elites are janitors of the Permanent State. They fake outrage against empire or Zionist violence for cameras, then fund the NDAA through redacted annexes and state secrets. From #PatriotAct dragnets to border gulags, one seamless machine. Oligarchs profit as a racist military is primed domestically. We dont vote representation; we vote velocity of erasure. Truths tellers vanish while cleaners "sanitize data" Your past is next #SusanKlopferTruth #USpol #CivilLiberties #ImperialDecline

'One of the most jarring things about crisis is how much carries on as normal, how American power retains such a massive gravitational pull that even as Trump engages in all manner of unhinged behaviour or threatens to wipe out an entire civilisation, the cosy protocols of state respect and friendliness continue...to believe, for a moment, that the White House had not been driven into the gutter'

Trump didn’t just embarrass himself. He shrank the US into a loud bully that mistakes force for respect and tweets for policy. Power once sold as ideals now looks like ego with missiles. That damage will outlive him.

It's one of a genre of articles obsessed with imperial decline, Churchill, Russia, China, and international politics as a board game
