An astonishing thing has happened in America that has never occurred in the lifetime of anyone now living. No, it’s not the crushing win of Trump in Iowa, nor the absurd determination of Democrats to run the senile ninny who has made a joke of our Presidency for another term. These, in their way astonishing, are mere trivialities in this time of universal lunacy and deceit.
I mean an honest to god paradigm shift everyone can see that official wise men with public platforms and megaphones have not announced, or perhaps even noticed. I’m talking about the first clear, undeniable instance of the failure of the American Empire’s Propaganda Machine.
It has been clear for decades, generations, that the American political elite has no regard for, and no sense of responsibility to, the actual needs and desires of the ignorant, disorganized public. It has always dealt with their inchoate hopes by indoctrination, by arousing and enlisting their imbecile enthusiasms in a mythology of tawdry, tribal patriotism based on the premise that they are a glorious, superior people whose leaders courageously embody and implement their magnificence all over the world.

The techniques of propaganda are refined, but their effect is entirely due to grotesque pandering to the worst susceptibilities of the human ego: the desire to assert one’s superlative worth as a member of a powerful, violent, conquering nation. The force of that tactic, endlessly repeated, rendered American citizenry, with rare exceptions, one solid, deluded, unthinking mass, devoted to whatever vicious, imperial ends the political elite intended.
Their trained mass response, sure as that of performing seals, has, for the first time ever, failed in regard to the Gaza genocide.
Both parties in Congress are solidly behind their putative leaders in full support of whatever violence Nazi Zionist Israel inflicts on the Palestinian people. This is true across the spectrum, from the pathetic halfwits and defectives in the MAGA sump to mock-noble, self-declared moral poseurs such as Bernie and AOL. Tlaib is the one outcast who has dared to affirm the humanity of Palestinians, while the rest join solemnly to prevent a ceasefire, which would, they say, balk the Zionist’s “right of self-defence”.
With this level of unanimity, solid from the addled, babbling, derelict President down, presented forcefully, continually, to the nation from every organ in the Propaganda Machine, the certain positive response was confidently awaited. It has not come.
In spite of all our corrupt, Zionist-owned government has done to enlist its support for the wholesale murder of a people, the American public has not bought it, and is not coming around. By an overwhelming majority Americans reject the message of the Machine, and adamantly disapprove of the Israeli genocide.
Try to recall a single moment when the diktat of the Machine was not ingested and regurgitated by the whole American public. It took years and thousands of body bags to sour them on the Viet Nam horror. The whole country was galvanized behind the lies that led to wars on Afghanistan, Iraq and its nonexistent WMDs, and it embraced the obscene “War on Terror” with all its follies.
Recall the wildly dishonest demonization of Qaddafi, Assad and Iran that Americans swallowed. When Putin was Hitlerized for exposing U.S. treachery in expanding NATO to Russia’s borders, and defending ethnic Russian Ukrainians from attacks by rabid Ukronazi Banderites, Americans ate it up and roared approval.
Xi of China is the next candidate for diabolization, but this first failure of the Machine will create doubt as to the ability of our rotten government to manage its victim people. The question now is whether The Empire’s iron grip on their minds has been permanently impaired by its total, and totally despicable, support for the criminal brutality of an evil and illegitimate state.
It will be a delicious irony if the billionaire Zionists who bought our Congress find that the felon state it has supported against American interests has destroyed itself, and broken the death grip its money has exerted in subverting and betraying us all.
Depending on the endgame of the Zionist genocide—chiefly, on whether their murderous barbarity results in a deadly regional war—the effect on The Empire will be either crippling international infamy, or perilous, punishing engagement in a war that has the potential to utterly destroy many nations, including ours.
The American Empire has not represented the interests of its people for decades, if it ever did, and has only kept them in a kind of mental and emotional lockdown through controlling their perception of reality. Nothing has been done for the generality of Americans since the last great threat to Capitalism in the Great Depression, which resulted in Social Security and Medicare.
It is intriguing to wonder what grand advancements might come for The People if the state were to be run for their benefit. That, of course, will never happen under Imperial Capitalism which will fight to the end for its absolute rule by any means possible until it self destructs from massive and insoluble financial fraud, or is hammered and obliterated in an intentionally provoked war.
T.S. Elliot predicted long ago that the world would not end “in a bang, but a whimper”. This seems unlikely now when the likely ends are implosion or explosion. How profoundly sad it will be if the American people have thrown off the terrible strait jacket of imperial mind control just when it doesn’t matter any more.

It is time for the 2nd American revolution that eliminates the corrupt federal govt.
War for profit.
Live by the sword . . . die by the sword.
Zionist Jews have bought and paid for the U.S. Government, they are in full control. Bibbi is the real Boss, he does whatever he wants, the American “sheeple” follow.
I totally agree that the Zionists are in full control of America but the real bosses of America (and Israel) is not the psychopath Bibbi -he is controlled by the same group who control America and that is the super rich super powerful Zionists who are international but have their underground HQ in America and have been its director and ruler for at least the last hundred years.
Medicare doesn’t date back ti the depression, does it? I think it was a Great Society thing.
The whole impulse for SS and Medicare originated in the New Deal revolution. Passage took time for the idea to find legal expression.
Loved your article, Paul.
It is darkly cynical.
I think it is the truth.
It is as if no one in the US Government knows of or has read the children’s book story ‘The Boy who cried Wolf.’
SUPERB take-down of U.S. propaganda by Paul Edwards!
Current irony: Today’s TV coverage of the Right to Life March in Washington, but zero reporting on the countless supporters who marched last week for Right to Life in Gaza!
You are dreaming! The majority of US citizens do not support Gaza! Have I missed millions rally in US for Palestinian? 340,000,000 American and 1 procent, 1 person per 100 is 3,400,000!
You’re a moron. Read the polling. It is overwhelming agains the Nazi Zionist genocide and in favor of just treatment for Palestinians. Of course American aren’t out in the street in huge numbers about it. Americans don’t demonstrate against their own abuse and humiliation.
Got it right, The Amerikan will stay in the (comfort Zone) not better here in Kanada !!!
For those people who would swallow the narrative and hope all the “terrorists” in Gaza get killed, there’s always the “bioweapon vaccine” they also accept. Instant karma?
Unfortunately and sadly Americans do not comprehend the extent of their government being highly corrupt and prostituting themselves to their Zionist masters.Americans have a psychological patriotism in which they welcome propagandist lies in order not to accept reality.
Capo, thanks. The Tribe has not only accomplished the Conquest of Palestine, but now that it coerced Western nations into complicity with their war crimes and genocide, it can be said that The Tribe has now finally accomplished, “Conquest of the West.”
It is an insult to the Nazis to compare the with Jews. The alleged Nazis’ crimes and atrocities committed between 1933 and 1944 and used by Israel and its supporters to inflict barbaric terror on the Palestinian people pale in comparison to the crimes and atrocities committed by Jews today. The Nazis never bombed refugee camps, schools, synagogues and hospitals full of Jewish children and women. Jews are enjoying it every day, murdering Palestinian women and children en masses. More than 25000 innocent Palestinians – two third of them are children and babies – have been massacred by Jews since October 2023, with most of the world is turning blind eye if not arming and supporting Israel. Unlike the Nazis between 1933 and 1944, Jews pose the greatest threat to world’s peace and humanity itself.
It’s not possible to insult the Nazis. They were a psychotic monster clique vastly more destructive in terms of numbers than Israel’s puny efforts to destroy Palestinians. You obviously know nothing of history and are simply a Jew hater and Nazi apologist.
You sound like a Nazi or a defender of Nazis. At least the Nazi were civilised. Israeli Nazis are counted on people like you to deny the Palestinian Genocide and exaggerate the Jews-fabricated Holohoax. Copy and past wont do you good.
You’re a contemptible idiot who knows nothing of actual history, and can’t keep your story straight. I have said the Nazis you absurdly call “civilized” were murderous, inhuman monsters and that the Zionist genocide is sick and evil beyond comparison. You are a dishonest illiterate, a bigot, a twisted embarrasment who doesn’t realize his own stupidity.
You are talking about yourself. The Nazis are the Israeli Jews. I do not know other Nazis. The “Nazis” that you call “Nazis” are civilised well-educated people. You are an ignorant anti-Muslim dirty racist.
Gene, u sound like an old 🌍 world inbred albino-neaderthal…..settler-colonizer, fake “American”…

Well said. Gene, your a ridiculous, illiterate imbecile.
You are the idiots who are trying to discredit the Website. I only live a few hundreds yard from Tom. If you are (and P Edward) bored and want to educate yourself, I am happy to offer my BBC (instead of drinks) for free. You will love the test.
You’re an embarrassment to ICH, Gene. What Tom wisely and generously makes available ought not to be desecrated and befouled by illiterate, deeply stupid drivel from a twisted, vacuous imbecile like you.
Hey Gene, if I came over …you’d probably end up crying ….a child like man baby😭…🤣🤣🤣

Maybe so…maybe not💯it’s a spectrum.🙏🏻🙏🏽
Call them uberNazis! As we say here in México; sionismo? Jamás!
2/3 of the American people ( as I know it) are against Israeli and American governments on genocide of innocent civilians. Any human, in their right mind and all moral conscious, would be, otherwise they are not human. These 2/3 support a ceasefire NOW. But oh, but why is that NOT happening, We have been discussing this “CEASEFIRE NOW” for months and we continue to talk, and talk more while all those innocents are being destroyed from our planet?
So. How does one go up against an all powerful monster, such as the Zionist? Maybe someone can explain and guide us here. …Thank you.

The American public won’t react to any tyranny unless their standard of living is significantly downgraded. The Romans got it right with “Bread and Circus” and Gobels in many ways pioneered controlling society with mass media propagandizing. We live in an all encompassing consumer driven matrix with AI emerging as a powerful new tool to control the masses. Gobels would be proud. Don’t Think, just Buy until you Die.
