Many politicians, academics, media pundits are wont of invoking the “rule of law”, a “rules-based international order”, “values diplomacy” etc. But what do all these benevolent-sounding slogans actually mean in practice?

US is fascist police state run by Wall Street crowd

There are some good people in Congress, but there are very, very few and nobody in power is anything but a-dirty-business-as-usual-politician. And these are the ones that will run the country next January whether it’s Trump, Biden or anybody else. It’s the way it’s always been in the US. There was one exception.

And he didn’t go into office that way, and the exception was Jack Kennedy, who was far out of the programs. He would really turn things around in the US and geopolitically. He was anti-war. He wanted all US forces out of Vietnam. He supported Palestinian rights. He wanted denuclearization, and normalize relations with Russia. And for those reasons and others, the CIA killed him and killed his brother Bobby for the same reason. It killed Dr. Martin Luther King for the same reason. That’s the disturbing truth about how America is run. It’s a fascist police state, a fantasy democracy. Never the real thing. And the founders that created the country. Today we would call them a Wall Street crowd. That’s exactly what they were. There was nothing glorious about them. It’s a disturbing situation. One day, either we find a new way to change things in Washington, or we may all be doomed.
