In Conrad’s masterful novella, Kurtz, the central figure, becomes a monster. He is driven to madness by the futile effort to inflict his arrogant Western dominance on the uncontrollable mystery of primordial Africa and, in the end, he abandons his own morality and descends into cruelty and murder. The point, for Conrad, was that the inflexible arrogance of Western racist prejudice, immersed in alien, indigenous reality, had to produce disaster.
The creation and evolution of Zionist Israel has, similarly, driven that evil, illegitimate, apartheid state to madness in its genocidal assault on the Palestinian people of Gaza. The Zionist program, facilitated by cowardly, amoral England was, from its inception, to violently dispossess and eradicate the Semitic people whose ancestors had lived in Palestine for hundreds of years.
Psychology has long known that when a subject is intentionally injured, the abuser will try to justify its evil by blaming the victim. So it has been with Zionist Israel from its beginning with the Nakba in 1947-8. As with South Africa, Israel’s vicious cruelty has become undeniable and unconcealable to the world. Their shameless bleating of anti-Semitism in defense of murderous infamy has failed, since what they are and what they do, is obvious, and profoundly offensive to all religious and ethical Jews. Judaism is a religion; Zionism is a Nazi political scheme.

Nations watch passively as Palestinian innocents are butchered, terrified into complacency by the threat of massive regional and perhaps even world war should they militarily intervene. Whether this stasis can hold is doubtful as the strain of inaction in the face of racial murder increases. The United States’ posture as chief backer of Israel’s evil, makes it the determining factor in enabling Palestinian genocide. This will have consequences at home.
As America has degenerated morally, and decomposed for the profit of bloody Capitalism, our government, such as it is, has followed the fixed trajectory of empires. It is now as totally indifferent to the welfare of its people as Rome was, or Stalin’s USSR. Like all empires, its vast powers exploit its subjects and their resources for the obscene enrichment of its ruling Money Oligarchy. The aspirations and the needs of its disempowered citizenry are routinely, contemptuously spurned, and because The Empire knows how deeply it has indoctrinated them, it has lost all fear of its torpid people. If its full bore backing of Zionist genocide continues, it will be forced to re-assess this position.
For generations, but increasingly since WWII, America was able, through financial and military dominance, and with its cultural eminence based on victory over the Axis powers and enormous commercial output, to urge, bully, and coerce the world to bow to its might and obey. Its status as sole dominator and absolute hegemon in world affairs has eroded and been dismantled over the last twenty years by a long series of astonishingly inept and spectacular failures of force and will which have cumulatively reduced its status in the world and bared the unchallengeable reality that The American Empire is not only in decline, but is already an egregious, obvious disaster desperate to retain a semblance of what it is not, and can no longer ever be.
Along with its monumental pratfalls in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria, and its proxy war in Nazi Ukraine that has resulted in the bloody obliteration of that sink of corruption, the floundering, feckless Imperial elite has elevated a series of grotesque, lackey incompetents. In the next Presidential election, Americans are given the choice between a vulgar, bellowing, criminal Mussolini, and a sleazy, fatuous, criminal simpleton, long gone in senility. One of these specimens will be the face of The Empire and its exalted “leader”, and quite possibly the last one. The nation is so blind, cruel, conflicted, and bankrupt morally and financially that cataclysmic meltdown is likely and even probable.
Two dangerous, ultimately ruinous lines of policy are certain to be implemented regardless of which of the subhuman monstrosities is placed as hood ornament on the Imperial Clown Car.
In the international sphere The Empire will embark on ever more perilous lunatic adventures, based entirely on inflamed ego and total incomprehension of strategic realities, that will dramatically increase the chances of triggering a world war from which only its catastrophic, crushing destruction can result.
In the national context, inevitable resistance to tyrannical political control will augment and enforce a punishing, pervasive and savage repression and domination of the people, and the brutal stifling and cancellation of Constitutional rights that have already been viciously curtailed, to be justified by our ruling criminals as higher patriotism to preserve their unravelling, moribund system.
These psychotic Hail Marys will bring nothing to The Empire but prompt and immanent disaster, and yet their implementation is now certain and unavoidable. The Empire will have its way.
Zionist Israel, an illegal, rogue state from its beginning, founded on the bodies, blood, and lands of its invaded victims, is living out the role of conquering abuser, as Kurtz did in Conrad’s novel, following the same ineluctable vector into madness.
The United States, though even more vicious and imperial in its origin and growth, had no inevitable role in the horror in Palestine but chose to play it. By nurturing, supporting and sustaining Nazi Israel, it is partaking electively, as it is in Ukraine, of madness by proxy. To any mind alive in the last century, this is no surprise.
America pioneered the Heart of Darkness.

It is an insult to the Fuehrer to compare him to the coward American leaders. Hitler was an educated leader who never fought against unarmed women and children. Unlike American leaders, Hitler was not owned and controlled by blood-thirsty Jews. Germany fought war against well organized and well armed forces, including the Red Army of the USSR. Today, we live under barbaric form of Fascism that aims at destroying Humanity and Planet Earth with it.
Good to see you drop the masKKK, Gene.
Hitler was a trench-war-damaged idiot who blamed all Jews for the co££aboration of the Rotschild bankers that gave the Great Game back to their Teutonic WASP cousins by keeping the lend-£ea$e piplines clear as the ‘war to end all wars’ buried the Kaiser’s imperial strut.
As Goebbels realised, a grain of core truth helps the PR-op-agenda big LIE go down $mooth£y.
Adolf’s war machine was built by the same white-collar criminals, not least Rockefeller, Du pont, Ford and the war indistrialists of Europe and the now-Nato ‘west’.
He was weaponised to take out Russia, whose resources the Brits had been eyeing, along with the French, since Napoleonic times.
The beat goes on with Barbaro$$a II floundering in Ukraine, as Germany takes another below-the-waterline torpedo in Nord Stream.
This IS world war…it never pauses, the theatres just change the billboards.
After the Jewish world council declared war on Germany in 1933 Germany asked them to leave the country. At that time about 500,000 Jews resided in Germany and the ones with the wherewithal to leave (about 250,000) went to greener pastures. German tried to find countries that would accommodate the remaining Jews, but no country wanted them. Later when the war began Jews were placed in concentration camps similar to the camps that the US placed Germans, Italians and others. There is too much story to mention here. From my research I found that the Germans never tried to exterminate the Jews like the Jews have done to the Palestinians for the last 70 years. This subject requires more than blog space to mention.
Like your reply. It is unfortunate that so many people know very little about World War II or the First World War. They do not know how those Wars started, do not know why they were fought, or the consequences after those wars. They been fed so much inaccurate information about those events in school, movies, and by journalists that they think only one way.

Hi, I enjoy Mr.Edwards articles very much but it saddens me that he frequently mentions Stalin as an example of evil regime. In my opinion it only shows his lack of knowledge about Stalin and the Soviet Union. I think it’s because he believes whatever the western media has been saying about Stalin and the Soviet Union for decades. It is not by accident or “brainwashing” that Stalin remains one of the most, if not the most popular. politician and statesman in Russia of all times. Most of what one reads about Stalin in the western media consists of lies and nothing but lies. And this is done to discredit communism/socialism so people are unable to think of any alternatives to capitalism. I am fortunate to be able to read in Russian and therefore to have access to Russian authors and quite a few of them have only good words to say about Stalin. In the English language I highly recommend Dr.Grover Furr’s website. He’s written extensively about Stalin and Stalin’s Soviet Union consulting, whenever possible, primary sources. I should add that I grew up in a Russian emigre, anti-communist family and it took me many years and a life in the USA to begin to look at Stalin with different eyes.
Stalin’s problem was that he went against the Bolsheviks, in fact threw them out of the government and place many in prison where they belonged. The Bolshevik revolution was supposed to have created a utopia for the Ashkenazim and this greatly angered the Bolshevik people when Stalin disregarded the idea. In fact, Stalin having rid the government of the Bolsheviks, was, so my research shows, the major cause for the cold war. Now with Russia making major strides as an economic sovereign world power as well as an advocate for democracy, the US and its handlers are very angry with Russia because Russia was supposed to have belonged to the controllers of the US.
You’re a propagandized idiot with no actual historic knowledge of Stalin’s monstrous evil, from his takeover after the purges in ’36=7 of all his own party supporters, including Zinoviev and Kamenev and even Buhkarin, all of whom helped him exile and murder Trotsky, andhis whole upper echelon military. He then signed the Ribbentrop/Molotove pact with Hitler, meanwhile running the greatest complex of prison camps in history. You should be ashamed to parade your abysmal ignorance in public.
This was addressed to Nikolai, not Woopy.
Mr. Edwards, I was just about to give you an earful when I saw your correction. However, under the circumstances I will say that I don’t consider my comments to be the gospel and know that in the small space here much is left not said. Anyway, thinks for your commentary and comments. Most here appreciate your work.
That blast was not aimed at you, Woopy, as you can see by the amendment I made under it. I meant it for Nikolai and Gene but misplaced it. My apologies if you felt hurt by it. It was for those two idiots.
Israel, white supremacy, Nazis, mafia, whatever the Jews are called in whatever context is correct for their situation in the moment. They are chameleons capable of changing their modus operandi to fit any situation. Born about 600 AD they have become very adept at criminal activities and getting away with being criminals. Today their typical battle cry is “you are an anti-Semite”, or “we are victims” as they go merrily on their way committing genocide, theft, torture or any other anti-human rights activities with impunity. Of course, for saying the aforementioned I would be called “anti-Semite” and evil. How is it that I’m an anti-Semite and evil for saying the truth unless truth is evil. How did the Jews manage to steal land from the Palestinians, torture and murder them in one of the worst holocausts to ever happen on this planet with impunity? Even more frustrating is that somehow the Israeli Jews have switched places with the Palestinians turning the Palestinians into “terrorists”, murderers, and illegitimate people who have no rights while the while white Israeli Jews are squeaky-clean God-fearing people who must commit genocide because as they say, “Israel has the right to exist”. If you are a US citizen or most anyplace else don’t ever say the truth about the Jews because you will be labeled as an “anti-Semite” (whatever that is). Simply for using the word “Jew” in the context of having committed a holocaust upon the Palestinians I am considered to be an “anti-Semite”. So, for hasbara folks who may be reading what I have just written, please tell me what I am supposed to call you and be safe from placing you into your victimhood mode or calling me an anti-Semite and I’ll certainly use your choice of words.
