“Freedom” “Democracy” “Human Rights” “Land of the Free and Home of the Brave”
American propaganda has few limits when it comes to so many false slogans, so many multiple means of delivery, all combined with so much never-ending hypocrisy.
Yesterday the big focus was on Biden’s “Diplomatic Boycott” of the Winter Olympics in China in February. Actually no American officials were invited and it is the Americans themselves who portray their officials at Olympics far more than any other nation does. But it gave Biden something to crow about.
Today the big focus is on the virtual summit Biden will be having with Putin. The Americans are responsible for what is happening in eastern Europe, for greatly expanding NATO to threaten Russia, and thus for provoking the Russians to respond. But that’s a much longer story. Today Biden is crowing about how he is standing up to the Russians after yesterday the Chinese.
Then at the end of the week for two days Biden will preside over his virtual Summit of the Democracies. In this case he is purposefully goading the Chinese by inviting Taiwan to participate, the only non-country so elevated. It’s another showboat media play by Biden who remains trapped and sinking in the political quicksand, much of which he himself has created despite having inherited so many near missions impossible. Both China and Russia are now standing up to Biden and to the declining no longer so exceptional American Empire.
But it’s a very dangerous situation this faux Biden diplomacy is creating internationally as well as at home where a majority of those in their 20s believe American democracy has failed, the future is bleak, and the institutions of the American government can no longer be believed in or trusted.
