US Politicians Blow Hot Air on Khashoggi

in #khashoggi6 years ago (edited)

Another day in the inconsequential theatre that is US politics. Where the puppets and talking heads shout about the injustice served to murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the aggregation of elite families, top bankers, aristocrats and military generals, who really wield true power in the country couldn’t care less about human rights abuses but are more concerned with the bad PR that comes in the aftermath of such an event.

This is however, how the politicians play their true role in your standard ‘western democracy’. They will project the image, that they are concerned and outraged about such an atrocity (while secretly taking brown envelopes from the same people) – and the security apparatus and state continue unhinged with their military imperialism and alliances with mass murdering head choppers.

Perhaps this could be a flash point in the modern history of “Pax-Americana”, the post WW2 new era which brought peace to the whites of America, but bloodshed and chaos to the rest of the world. If the brutal murder of a journalist in cold blood by one of your closest allies can’t change your course, then what can? It amplifies the ineffectiveness of the modern ‘democracy’ to be able to deal with the moral.
