The Neocons Have Bled America’s Treasure

July 8, 2024 By The Editors

At LewRockwell.com, Karen Kwiatkowski makes the point that America’s national debt of $35 trillion matches the spending Washington D.C.’s neocons have spent on wars since 2001. She writes:

$35 trillion in US public debt matches – to the dollar – Washington’s war spending since 2001. It’s been trillion a year, in inflation-adjusted dollars, a trillion a year in fake MICIMATT money for over 20 years.

The neocon wars have nothing to show for these trillions, except wasted uninhabitable cities and land, billions of angry people, and the priming of brand new warfronts. A normal empire profits from its forays abroad, and uses its dominating presence to enrich its people. But the US Government works a little differently, and like any unrecovered addict, lies about what it is, what it has done, and why.

Signs of the Potemkin empire are all around us, much like the orange day lilies that bloom along the roadside this time of year. While both parties and past presidents have cultivated war and lies, the Biden Administration gets the credit for the blossoming of fake villages for the benefit of the governing class.

We have a Potemkin President, a fake construction that has been gradually – then suddenly — recognized by the entire global population. Whether it is hidden Parkinson’s, or outlandishly obvious senility, the lies of the state, from all state podiums, have been worthy of Oscars and Golden Globes. The state-pleasers have given their all, in performances worthy of the original Potemkin myth.

Our Potemkin president – less than four months to an election that his vacant frame, and more vacant party, still hopes to win – promises to “do his goodest.” Yet, his Washington base, in both parties, are J. Alfred Prufrocks – daring not, presuming not, “attendant lords… Deferential, glad to be of use, Politic, cautious, and meticulous; Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse; At times, indeed, almost ridiculous…” Do we dare to impeach, can we presume to exercise the Constitution, will the mermaids sing to me?

No, no and no.
