Trump's political base is the new Al Qaeda? — Stanley McChrystal and the US Establishment's new propaganda

Why stop, when we can just kill everybody?

 

The Establishment nutcases — who started and lost one US-sponsored war after another — are now targeting masses of American citizens as the nation's new terrorist enemy.

 

This latest outburst of Establishment absurdity occurs on the heels of the Capitol riot. An event from which rose absolutely no indication of organized terroristic intent — despite what the Lamestream tries to hype as being such.

 

 

From Yahoo News

 

Addressing the Capitol riot, retired General Stanley McChrystal (of Joint Special Operations and Afghanistan fame) said that:

 

 

“I did see a similar dynamic in the evolution of al-Qaida in Iraq, where a whole generation of angry Arab youth . . . followed a powerful leader who promised to take them back in time to a better place . . . . This is now happening in America,” McChrystal told Yahoo News.

 

A radical group of citizens have adopted a very hard-line view of the country . . . that echoes the Lost Cause narrative that took root in the old South after the Civil War.

 

“Only President Trump has updated Lost Cause with his ‘Stop the Steal’ narrative" . . . McChrystal said.

 

“That gives them legitimacy to become even more radical. I think we’re much further along in this radicalization process, and facing a much deeper problem as a country, than most Americans realize.”

Skepticism, Yahoo implies, is not warranted

 

Yahoo's news blurb points out that Al Qaeda built global networks. White supremacist groups, article author Kitfield says, do also. And a number of those were involved in events at the Capitol. These are linked to similar groups in "Germany, Canada, Norway and Russia."

 

 

Yahoo's report drags in "the" obligatory retired FBI agent . . .

 

. . . to add credibility to the Establishment's fearmongering:

 

 

“I worked with the State Department to designate as terrorists an extreme white supremacist group in Russia that has many ties to U.S.-based groups,” said Ali Soufan, a former FBI supervisory special agent and counterterrorism expert who led some of the highest-profile investigations of al-Qaida attacks . . . .

 

He noted that a National Security Council strategy document identified the Nordic Front, a neo-Nazi group spreading throughout Nordic countries, as a threat to the United States.

 

“If the Nordic Front is a threat to the U.S., that means they have some connection to activities here . . . .

Now, enter "Hitler-wannabe" Trump

 

Reporter Kitfield goes on to tell us that:

 

 

History also shows that when extremist movements coalesce around a charismatic leader who focuses their anger and amplifies their narrative, a tipping point is reached where extreme rhetoric is often turned into violent action.

 

Beyond that tipping point, the violence tends to escalate unless the extremist movement and its leadership are convincingly defeated and their narrative and ideology widely rejected.

In essence

 

Shut up, be scared and send the Military Industrial Complex your money.

 

The 'Muhrikan MIC will crush your rowdy neighbors for you.

 

 

Lost in this massively sponsored overreaction to the Capitol riot . . .

 

. . . is any analysis about why so many Americans are unhappy with the current state of US affairs.

 

Instead, the Disaffected are labeled as being "white extremists" or "terrorists".

 

That labeling is, apparently, enough for America's perennially lame version of inquiry.

 

 

The moral? — When we start comparing our neighbors to Al Qaeda . . .

 

. . . something morally obscene is afoot.

 

That is what happens, when a nation's Establishment entirely focuses itself on controlling and killing humanity for profit.

 

You should be scared.

 

Just not of what the Powers that Be are telling you to be afraid of.
