We Are Mad Dog

BRICS rising as neocons destroy the West

I watched a little of the clowning in NYC and then shut off the stream and wrote the last post about it.

Then I went back to my regular feeds and found this.

Jeffrey Sachs just got back from China. He says that there is some anger and resentment, over provocative shit like the Pelosi visit and the habitual saber rattling.

But mostly there’s confusion, about why the Empire would be doing all this to itself. He got a lot of questions about things like the clearly self-damaging sanctions and the autistic insistence on destroying any goodwill with bluster and threats–a continuing attitude that ‘we’ are top dog when it’s obviously no longer the case.

And then … a shrug.

A recognition that the other 96% of humanity still needs to live, and move forward, and maybe even attempt to fix existential problems like climate change and the counterproductive hegemony of the US dollar.

They’re making peace in the Middle East, on several fronts, not just that Iran/Saudi one. And they’re clearly thinking about making peace in the Ukraine, if it can be done without sending the mad dog completely over the edge with foaming rage.

Again.

The Enemy is very real and very dangerous.

But it’s name isn’t China, or Trump, or Vlad.

Contrary to the lies of Don Lemon and Chris Hayes, it lives much closer and you know it much better.

It’s very white.

It has very good PR and a friendly, diverse-looking face. Just like Russell is trying to tell you at this very moment.
