The Emperor Doth Protest Too Much His Most Elevated Majesty, Barack the Blessed, gave a speech in Talinn (Estonia) on Wednesday, filled with words such as freedom and democracy and real progress - whatever that means. Ill deal with it in more detail in my Antiwar piece tomorrow. For now, though, just some thoughts. photo via RT C-Span has the 30-minute video. The White House has a transcript. Listen to it. Compare what he says to be the truth, with actual truth. Compare the actions of his own government, his own officials, his own troops - to his platitudes about big bullying the small and dignity and independence. I dare you to listen with a straight face to his words about freedom of press and thought, what with Anglosphere media marching in absolute lockstep and every dissent dismissed as propaganda. Listen to his soothing platitudes about how NATO isnt aimed against anyone - the blood of Serbs, Iraqis, Afghans and Libyans begs to differ. Listen to his lies about how there were no Nazis in the Maidan, or how there was no coup in Kiev. These are facts, provable, not subject to dispute - except they are not. And the currents of history... flow towards freedom? Who wrote this speech, Citizen Kang? All this talk of the inevitable triumph of freedom, democracy, real progress (whatever that is) - methinks thats just His Imperial Majesty protesting too much. He is trying too hard to persuade his allies (i.e. clients) that he is still the most powerful, still the strongest, still the richest, that End of History is just around the corner. Not everything in the speech was a lie. Moral strength is more powerful than tanks. People generally do wish to be free from bullying, and be independent. Might indeed does not make right. So why is his country and his own government using tanks (or planes, or missiles)? Why does he bully other countries into making only the choices his government dictates, under threat of kinetic military action or color revolution? Why is it the core belief of the current government of the United States of America that might does make right? He lies about motes in the eyes of others, while failing to see the beam in his own. grayfalcon.blogspot
