Beyond the Newest Squabbles of the Two Evils, a Faint Possibility Sanders Might Be the Perfect Compromise

JILL STEIN'S EFFORT TO nullify the 2016 presidential election by last-minute recounts reeks of Green Party naivety, typically dishonest Democratic (sic) Party sleight-of-hand and the sinister guile for which Hillary Clinton is rightfully infamous. In all probability, Stein is Hillary's figurehead, positioned to be the perfect scapegoat for the debacle that will inevitably follow if this newest campaign to monkeywrench Donald Trump's victory is even half as effective as Hillary's felonious suppression of Sen. Bernie Sanders' candidacy.

Properly cynical analysis of the Stein campaign – Stein's relative innocence and limited finances as opposed to Hillary's bottomless corruption and obscenely unlimited wealth – indicates it can hardly be anything but another Clinton operation. In any case it has turned a long-cliched Madison Avenue hyperbole into new reality. Advertisers often boast their product “changes everything,” but this is precisely the outcome the breathtakingly Machiavellian recount-ploy will have if it triumphs, which several sources say is highly probable. For this “everything” truly is everything – not just the hitherto-certain, now unnervingly dubious outcome of the election, but the now equally dubious longevity of our nation, our species and our planet.

As I have said for months, the actual choice allowed us by our capitalist overlords – minor parties, write-ins, incomplete ballots and hell-no-I-won't-vote abstentions aside – was between two latter-day Hitlers and the horrific agenda each represents: the new Holocaust as promised by Donald Trump; the attack on Russia and the resultant thermonuclear apocalypse as sought by Hillary Clinton. In other words, we were forced to choose between possibly survivable horrors versus absolutely certain extinction.

Obviously exploiting Stein as her puppet – and obviously both as Stein's financier and puppet-master (diabolical, yes, especially in its multiple betrayals, but nevertheless the only conclusion allowed by logic) – Hillary is timing the recount to invalidate enough electoral votes to deny Trump the presidency and possibly – depending on whether the Democratic (sic) election-fixing apparatus can alter recount results as efficiently as it killed Sen. Sanders' primary victory – give it to herself.

Here's how it might work:

As The Hill reports, failure to complete an official recount by the federal 13 December deadline probably nullifies the state's electoral votes. Rightist websites – in this instance to be believed – are already saying Stein's belated filing of the recount demands is intended to ensure the three states' miss the 13 December deadline, thereby subtracting their electoral votes from Trump's total and throwing the presidential election into the House of Representatives.  (Apologetic note: this link to Inquisitr.com,, which summarizes the associated arithmetic, is obnoxiously clogged by advertisement monitoring and takes at least five minutes to stabilize to readability.)

What would happen were the presidency to be decided by the Republican-ruled House remains to be seen. There are at least three possibilities: that it confirms Trump's election; that it finds another Republican whose domestic Nazism is perhaps more closeted than Trump's but who will obey with absolute reliability the One Percent's global-conquest mandates Trump seems to opposes; or that it will find a compromise candidate acceptable to both parties – a possibility no less remote than Alpha Centauri, but one that nevertheless could put the hugely popular Sen. Sanders in the White House. (You read it first here.)

But let us not forget the recounts could also reverse enough votes to give Hillary the presidency. Thus she would seize the White House after having positioned Stein and the Green Party as the immediate scapegoat for the civil war that is certain to result. Meanwhile who can doubt the recount is yet another product of Hillary's limitless vindictiveness? As I said before, Stein not only lacks the requisite malice, but – without Hillary's clandestine intervention – it's gravely doubtful she'd have been able to access the requisite wealth. Cynicism – which sometimes is the most revealing Muse of all – suggests only two possibilities: that Hillary has blackmailed Stein into becoming her figurehead, or that Stein's ambitions have reduced her to Hillary's sacrificial lamb and turned her into another of Clintons' useful idiots. (Wikileaks: please tell all!)

As to the danger of civil war, the KuKlux/Christian/Nazi militias have already threatened to rise in armed rebellion if Trump is denied the presidency. They would be even more enraged were Trump's ouster – seemingly accomplished by the same typical Democratic (sic) deviousness that invariably spares the Clintons from prosecution despite their brazen criminality – to succeed in putting Hillary in the White House.

Unfortunately, and just as I have written elsewhere,  the violence of a second civil war would kill forever the nonviolent revolution now brewing at Standing Rock, which is fast evolving the potential of mobilizing sufficient overseas support  to succeed much as Gandhi's revolution did against the British Empire in India. But with the nonviolent revolution aborted by unrelated violence, the One Percent and its Ruling Class vassals could rest in absolute certainty the nonviolent threat to capitalist governance was permanently terminated even as the government's technological superiority was ensuring the defeat of the Rightist militias.

Moreover, a second civil war (perhaps labeled by future historians “the War of Presidential Succession”), would – under the unlimited powers Obama has bequeathed the presidency – allow declaration of a permanent state of emergency, thereby nullifying what little remains of the Constitution and ensuring the eternal omnipotence of capitalist tyranny.

Were Hillary the president, it would also facilitate her most cherished domestic ambition: zero-tolerance forcible disarmament – confiscation without compensation of every civilian-owned firearm in the United States.

Hillary would ultimately blame Russia for the millions of deaths and millions of dollars of damage so inflicted, whether by civil war, forcible disarmament or both. She would no doubt claim it was all the result of some alleged Kremlin conspiracy involving Trump, Stein, the Greens and Vladimir Putin – thereby giving herself a “nothing-to-lose” rationale for nuking Moscow and triggering thermonuclear apocalypse.

As to why Hillary would do anything so obviously suicidal, there are only two possible answers.

One is that her decades  of fanatical Christian brainwashing  by The Family  have driven her beyond what should be labeled JesuNazism to clinical insanity, perhaps even turning her into a believer in biblical End Times and the Apocalypse  as the only sure route for the Christian god's devotees  to depart this world of sin and get to Heaven.

(I apologize for the above paragraph's link-heavy text. But now with the growing likelihood  Hillary Clinton will be the next USian president – remember how she stole the primary  from Sen. Sanders – I think it vital for us to recognize what a JesuNazi she truly is, and that once she is in the White House, she is likely to attack the remnants of the First Amendment at least as vindictively as we know she will attack the Second Amendment.)

The other possible explanation for Hillary's obvious intent to start World War III – an explanation that does not negate the first possibility (and could in fact be the expression of its Noah's Ark intent) – is that the One Percent and its Ruling Class vassals have secretly built and stocked a vast subterranean network of bunkers to allow themselves and a few carefully chosen and meticulously bred slaves to survive a 25-year nuclear winter. Rumors of such refuges have persisted for years, and knowing our overlords' genocidal contempt for all the rest of us, we the people of the 99 Percent, I cannot doubt the rumors are founded on truth. Thus the plutocrats, their children and their slaves – the slaves no doubt dark-pigmented for easy identification – would emerge from these latter-day Noah's Arks as unchallenged rulers of a planet “cleansed” of all “sinful” humans and, not coincidentally, also healed of global warming.

In this context, let us further examine what might be the hidden agenda of the recount.

As I said above, on 8 November 2016 we were forced to choose between two Hitlers: Donald Hitler of the Renewed Holocaust versus Hillary Hitler of the Thermonuclear Apocalypse. But ultimately our choice was between (possibly survivable) horror or (certain) extinction. And our decisions revealed to the One Percent's psychological warfare experts the magnitude of our national courage.

The courageous – those of us who dared vote against Hillary (whether by voting for Trump or one of the lesser alternative-party candidates – voted to gamble on the likelihood of survival and thus to fight on.

But those who voted for Hillary chose thermonuclear suicide. Some chose suicide because their fanatical Christianity convinced them they were better dead than Red – “Red” in this instance encompassing not only the uncertainties of socialist revolution (as by the nonviolence of Standing Rock), or at the very least the long-overdue rejection of Prosperity Gospel Christianity,  the consequence implicit in Senator Sanders's efforts to resurrect the New Deal. Others chose suicide because they are terrified by the prospect of life on a planet undergoing terminal climate change or in a nation in which people – especially Working Class people – are allowed to own firearms. Still others – perhaps the moronic majority of Hillary's voters – chose suicide out of Moron Nation ignorance – ignoring all the damning evidence of Hillary's closet fascism and attachment to theocracy, and remaining in clinical denial of Hillary's ever-escalating threats, whether against any remnants of USian civil liberties or against Russia and ultimately against human survival.

In any case, the fact Hillary is winning the popular vote – overwhelmingly so, if the latest figures are to be believed – also tells the psychological warfare experts Moron Nation is already significantly subjugated, too cowardly to alter the status quo save by imposing forcible disarmament – that is, mandatory pacifism and compulsory victimhood – on all civilian firearms owners.

Even so, what might the One Percent and its Ruling Class hope to accomplish by forcing a recount and at the very least nullifying the election? Is the One Percent perhaps still indecisive about which Hitler will serve it best as Führer? Or is something else afoot – say deliberate provocation of a Rightist uprising, with civil war its inevitable result.

To reiterate: civil war would kill forever the potentially successful nonviolent revolution taking shape at Standing Rock. And – again reiterating – the resultant “state of emergency” would enable the One Percenters and their Ruling Class vassals to terminate – also forever – any rational hope of ever restoring USian liberty. Plus – last reiteration – a civil war's destruction, its magnitude akin to that of Germany in 1945, would give the Hillary the perfect “nothing-to-lose” rationale for starting World War III.

Think, people. We are tyrannized by Evil, our species' most diabolical plotters ever.

THE FOLLOWING ARE the titles and links that were part of the blog post I had written for OAN before the news of the recount literally changed everything. The material – most of it about the transition to overt Nazism that would have occurred under Trump – is still relevant. But it is way too lengthy to add to the above, so I am reducing it to a recommended reading list, with the briefest possible notes about content and whether I commented on the associated discussion thread.

Fascism in Donald Trump's United States (Henry A. Giroux):  Trump's comments form a discourse of hate, bigotry and exclusion...resonating deeply in a landscape of U.S. culture and politics crafted by 40 years of conservative counterrevolution...We heard this same hatred in the words of Hitler, Mussolini, Pinochet and other demagogic orators who have ranted against Jews, communists and other alleged “infidels.” (No comment by LB.)

His horror show hides Clinton's rotten agenda (Elizabeth Schulte and Alan Maass):  Donald Trump is so despicable that no one is paying attention to what Hillary Clinton actually stands for.  (No comment by LB.)

Goodbye, American Neoliberalism. A New Neo-Fascist Era Is Here (Cornel West):  (T)he abysmal failure of the Democratic party to speak to the arrested mobility and escalating poverty of working people unleashed a hate-filled populism and protectionism that threaten to tear apart the fragile fiber of what is left of US democracy. And since the most explosive fault lines in present-day America are first and foremost racial, then gender, homophobic, ethnic and religious, we gird ourselves for a frightening future. (Extensive comments by LB.)

President Obama's Last Stand (Matt Taibbi):  As Taibbi often does, he buried his lead, probably in embarrassment: ...There are a lot of people these days wondering if the election of the race-baiting Donald Trump will end up staining or outright repudiating the legacy of Barack Obama. I think it will be the other way around. Trump's presidency is almost sure to throw the best qualities of this unique and powerful historical figure into relief. (Brief comment by LB.)

Obama Refuses to Pardon Edward Snowden. Trump's New CIA Pick Wants Him Dead (Alex Emmons and Naomi LaChance):  President Obama indicated on Friday that he won’t pardon NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, even as President-elect Donald Trump announced his pick to run the CIA: Kansas congressman Mike Pompeo, who has called for “the traitor Edward Snowden” to be executed.

7 Big Areas Where Jeff Sessions Could Change Policy at DOJ (Danny Vinik):  Sen. Jeff Sessions was an instantly divisive figure when President-elect Donald Trump named him as his next attorney general: conservatives and immigration hardliners welcomed the choice, while civil-rights groups and Democrats spent the day attacking the pick...the critics’ focus was on controversial past comments by Sessions, such as accusations that he said the NAACP and American Civil Liberties Union were “un-American,” and joked that he thought the Ku Klux Klan was “OK, until I learned they smoked pot.” But much of the concern is what he’d actually do as AG: that he’d undermine civil rights protections, prosecute more undocumented immigrants and allow companies to go wild with mergers...Here are seven areas where Sessions could most dramatically change public policy.

Here's What We Do Now - a Personal Note (Greg Palast):  Decades of progress created with sweat and determination face destruction.  Within the next six months, we may see the Voting Rights Act repealed—and civil rights set back 50 years; the entirety of our environmental protection laws burnt in a coal pit; police cruelty made our urban policy; the Education Department closed to give billionaires a tax holiday; and a howling anti-Semite as White House Senior Counselor. But the horror we face is countered by this one hard and hopeful fact: Donald Trump did NOT win this election. (Brief comment by LB.)

IN SUCH TERRIBLE times as these I am occasionally asked what weird insight or sickness of imagination enables me to (accurately) portray our capitalist overlords as they truly are – that is, as boundlessly more cunning (and therefore infinitely more Evil) – than any diabolical creature ever conceived by the authors of the Torah, the Bible, the Qur'an or even the far more ancient and dreadful Chaldean catalogue of demons.

Usually I merely shrug my shoulders – a nonverbal “I dunno” – and leave the question unanswered.

But if I am asked this same how-do-you-do-it question by someone with whom I am already psychologically comfortable, I might, if there is time, explain it as the hidden blessing of my childhood, which was all the more miserable for the absence of physical evidence that hid its unhealable gashes of psychological trauma. So wounded was I that even now on adult word-association tests I equate “family” with “betrayal” and “deception” and “scapegoating” and “rejection” and “despair.” Thus the microcosm of family brutality prepared me – quite thoroughly in fact – to cope with our species-wide macrocosm of bottomless Evil.

Evil is in fact humanity's default reality. (I capitalize it not for theological reasons – I am an ever-more-devoutly skeptical agnostic – but to provide the proper literary emphasis due what is undeniably our sole defining quality, intellect and soul alike, if indeed the latter is more than hallucination.) Nor will I debate my admittedly misanthropic conclusion; it has been confirmed more times than I can count, proven far more conclusively by what I've witnessed done to others than by what was ever done to me, whether during my first 18 years, or my award-winning but grievously underpaid and overworked decades as a journalist and social-documentary photographer, or now finally in my final seasons as a crippled old man with a failing heart, no longer exploitable for capitalist profit and thus like everyone else in such circumstances knowingly, deliberately, maliciously sentenced to death by the slow but methodically certain genocide of ever-deeper cuts to Medicare and food-stamps and Social Security and any other programs on which we depend for survival. Such is the quintessential Evil of Homo sapiens sapiens: Evil as it was in the beginning, Evil as it is now and Evil as it ever shall be, Evil without end amen.

Thus the one truly vital lesson to be gleaned from life is to learn to beware our species' penchant for perverting our most hypothetically exalted principles into real-time rationales for mass murder as at Wounded Knee and Mai Lai, mayhem as in Birmingham or at Standing Rock, and the sort of sadism the invading Germans sometimes inflicted on Russian children: bloating their bowels with gasoline enemas, lighting matches to their petrol-leaking anuses, then – much as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton cackled at Qaddafi's execution by anal impalement – chortling with glee at the children's shrieking, running, sometimes exploding and always indescribably agonized deaths. Thus do the ubermenschen – our “brightest and best” – behave toward those of us they damn as untermenschen. Such is the Evil that defines our species.

Merry Christmas, Happy Easter, and here's a thermonuclear egg to brighten your basket. Our Evil demonstrably exceeded our ability at self-control when we nuked Japan to terrify our then-ally Josef Stalin and serve him notice that henceforth we'd be his deadliest enemy, far deadlier than the Germans his Red Army had just defeated.  Now – thanks to this election and its aftermath – no matter its outcome our Evil will almost certainly overwhelm any possibility we might have escaped it.

USian Empire Now the Planet's Primary Source of Evil

 

Again this image reveals its iconic nature: originally about the quest for world peace rendered fruitless by the USian Empire's relentless aggression, it now becomes a symbol of afflicted Nature and therefore of oft-thwarted Clotho, Spinner of the threads of life, to whom the late Tim Buckley once sang, “If you tell me of all the pain you've had, I'll never smile again.” Photo by Loren Bliss copyright 1971: Nikon F, 105mm f/2.5 Nikkor, Tri-X in D-76 for 800 ASA.

THE REALITY OF EVIL, nominally a theological question, has again been snatched out of the protective obscurity of that comfortably abstract realm of monasteries and convents and dumped like a steaming, butthole-reeking pile of shit onto our dinner-tables in the real (and really injurious world) of realpolitik, and this time the dumper-in-chief is not some conquest-hungry foreign despot (Kaiser Wilhelm II as in 1914) or even three such despots (Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo as in 1941). The people who are shitting all over us are instead (and far more ominously) a tiny clique of our own fellow citizens – that semi-invisible circle of inconceivably wealthy, obscenely powerful plutocrats who own and/or control the United States and all its governments at all levels and ever-more-openly use its bureaucrats and generals and police chiefs and judges and politicians, whom they also own, to facilitate their own morally imbecilic pursuits.

There is general agreement the consequences are evil – ask for example any of the innumerable homeless youth who five years ago were normal kids part of a normal working family living in a normal and normally mortgaged suburban house until the Great Wall Street Ripoff of 2007-2009 outsourced Dad's job and abolished Mom's job and foreclosed the house and flung Mom and Dad and their two offspring into the streets and destroyed their family. Now the kids are throw-away children thrown away to survive by their own wits because under capitalism (and beyond all the pseudo-romantic bullshit peddled by Madison Avenue), capitalist marriage and therefore capitalist family is merely another profit-seeking, profit-centered capitalist relationship, which means when there is no more profit to be extracted, the relationship naturally disintegrates. But here amidst all this manifest evil, seemingly nobody but the (intellectually shackled and therefore increasingly irrelevant) Abrahamic clergy dares think about what evil is or where it comes from or whether it should be spelled “Evil,” proper-noun cap “E,” or minimized as a lower-case common noun, merely “evil” and therefore of no greater significance than bad weather, the societal equivalent of a hurricane or a tsunami.

That's why, when I describe the consequences of capitalism as “evil” – and especially when I capitalize it as “Evil” (as below in “the U.S. has become the primary source of Evil on this planet”) – a lot of secularists are offended. They (legitimately) fear some Abrahamic subversive is at work, subtly jihading for patriarchy.

But as it says in the Porgy and Bess song, “It ain't necessarily so.”  Yes, I admit the tendency to cite “evil” or “Evil” is often a defining characteristic of obnoxiously crusading Christians, Muslims and Jews. But I am none of the above. I regard evil and Evil as purely human byproducts spawned not by talking serpents but by the genetic flaws in the tyrannosauric bipeds one finds in board rooms and executive offices. Moreover, Webster's third definition of evil – “causing harm” – neatly severs it from religious dogmatism. And if you want to deduce my beliefs, merely read the sidebar to OAN; then reflect on how, over the years, I have repeatedly portrayed myself as an agnostic influenced by Zen, Taoism and First Nations beliefs but mostly leaning toward paganism – specifically Goddess-centered paganism. I outed my spiritual self most recently in a minor dispute with an avowed Christian in a Reader Supported News discussion thread that touched on how USian Empire's methodical destabilization of human society is one if its primary weapons of global conquest.  Deliberately engineering the collapse of human society to suppress our collective ability to oppose enslavement is indeed Evil, and it is Evil in the same sense the term was used to describe the depredations of Hitler. No other label adequately describes the horrors the capitalists – the One Percenters and their Ruling Class vassals – are knowingly and with malice aforethought inflicting on us and our planet.  As I said on the same RSN thread, “capitalism IS corruption – the bribery of the masses with the bright baubles of trinket materialism, all to free the One Percent so they can amass obscene profit by murdering us and raping our planet.” And what is corruption but another of the subsets of Evil?

***

RSN'S MOST RECENT discussions on the empire's global destabilization campaign was probably triggered by an original William Boardman piece that ran a couple of days earlier about the destabilization of Ukraine.

But Boardman, who is by far the best of RSN's staff reporters, neglected to explore the darker aspects of the probable motives for the empire's ongoing provocation of Russia. Hence my response, here somewhat revised from its original published form:

Absent from Boardman's otherwise brilliant analysis of the ever-escalating U.S. provocation of Russia is the probability its ultimate psychological driver is the One Percent's truly bottomless terror not just of Communism but of socialism in any form. While the associated fanaticism is repeatedly demonstrated by the blank-check support the U.S. reflexively grants any tyrant who pledges to exterminate socialists – note again the abysmal human-rights records of the USian satropies – it is nevertheless difficult to quantify, which is probably why Boardman omitted it from his text.

Meanwhile the empire's relentless drive toward war with Russia remains incomprehensible until we recognize the implications of the fact the Russian population has, within its living memory, experienced the differences between capitalism and socialism. And though today the Russian people tolerate capitalism as a necessary evil, there is no question they remain fiercely committed to the humanitarian benefits of socialism. That is why they rejected the “economic genocide” of Wall-Street-ally Yeltsin's disaster capitalism  for Putinism,  which has been as dramatic a change for post-Soviet Russia as the New Deal was for the depression-crippled United States. That is also why the Communist Party – in recognition of its economic doctrine of “from each according to ability, to each according to need” – remains the nation's second largest political organization.

Were the Russian preference for socialism to again become the pivotal element in Russian policy, as it was during the Soviet era, such a development – particularly given the exemplar of capitalist malevolence that is global austerity – could easily expand into an unprecedented drive for international revolution. The ever-worsening misery the capitalists' insatiable greed is deliberately inflicting on workers everywhere is the one truly irrefutable argument for socialism. Were there still a Soviet Union to evoke it, the ultimate global victory of socialism – if not of Marxist-Leninist Communism per se – would be assured.

Hence we can be sure the greatest fear of the USan Empire is the resurrection inside Russia of a state consciousness comparable to that of the Soviet Union, but – especially since capitalist psychological warfare has not yet robbed the Russians of their ability to learn from experience – without the U.S.S.R.'s ideological and administrative handicaps that made it relatively easy prey to Wall Street's economic warriors. Hence too the U.S. response: not only destabilization of the Russian state, but – via a third world war – the extermination of all those Russian people whose lives bear witness to the humanitarian superiority of socialism. Which, surely not coincidentally, is exactly the response proposed by Hitler, whose colleagues, through their One Percent connections, became the paramount influences in shaping postwar USian foreign policy. And the Russians, politically astute as they are, are surely aware of what intentions now obtain in the wholly owned Wall Street subsidiary of Washington D.C.

***

THE EMPIRE'S GLOBAL campaign of deliberate destabilization was also the core topic of a Robert Parry report RSN reprinted from Parry's Consortium News. But Parry – superb reporter that he normally is – nevertheless deftly dismisses this geopolitical “madness” as if it were merely an anomaly rather than the new national norm of world conquest it has become. Hence my reply, this too revised from its original form:

Despite my huge respect for Parry's reportorial and analytical skills, I fear he remains in bondage to his original notions about the (allegedly) benevolent nature of United States, a captivity proven by his failure to recognize the irremediable magnitude of the Nazi-like malevolence that has become its defining quality. Nor does he see the broader truth of U.S. capabilities and intentions as demonstrated by the intentional destabilization first of the Middle East, now of Europe and eventually of all human society.

To arrive at this admittedly horrendous view of USian capabilities and intentions, we must consider five facts, which inevitably lead us to three (obvious and therefore undeniable) conclusions:

The facts are (1)-the breathtakingly manipulative, astoundingly long-range planning capability demonstrated by capitalism in controlling and predicting human behavior; (2)-the obvious application of this capability to global politics; (3)-the ideology of the One Percent, particularly as expressed by Ayn Rand and Adolph Hitler, in which politics and economics are mutually sustaining endeavors; (4)-the exposed intentions of the One Percent, which include the imposition of “disaster capitalism” (Naomi Klein) and the radical reduction of the human population (Paul and Anne Ehrlich; and (5)- the One Percent's total ownership of government and mass media, by which it exercises hitherto unimaginable control over every aspect of USian life and, increasingly, over every aspect of human life everywhere on this planet.

Thus – and here is where Parry seems blinded by the residue of a no-longer-sustainable patriotism – it is only logical to conclude what was formerly considered unthinkable: that (6)-the destabilization inflicted on the Middle East and now on Europe was foreseen (much as the psychological consequences of marketing are foreseen); that (7)-the resultant chaos, especially the resurrection of European fascism, was also foreseen and is itself intentional, and that (8)-its long-range purposes – in compliance with the internationalization of Nazi foreign policy achieved by Ayn Rand economics – are threefold. Reasoning from events already underway, these are (A)-forcible population reduction (whenever possible in a “coincidental” manner intentionally rendered difficult to document as genocide), of which the drowned corpse of little Alan Kurdi is surely an ultimate archetype; (B)-imposition of “disaster capitalism” – that is, the de facto fascism of zero-tolerance One Percent rule – on the entire planet, Europe most assuredly included and, as a result, (3)-the imposition of an Ayn Rand (Neocon) version of Hitler's Thousand Year Reich to ensure the One Percent and its descendants survive the forthcoming environmental apocalypse with sufficient slaves to maintain the obscene comforts to which they have long been accustomed.

When one factors in all the variables – especially the USian repetition of destabilizations – no other hypothesis is plausible. As I said at the beginning, the U.S. has become the primary source of Evil on this planet. And it is still acting out the policy of economic jihad first publicly acknowledged during the Vietnam War: “we had to destroy the village (or the planet) to save it (from socialism).”
