HOLIDAY HYPOCRISY FROM THE UNIPARTY

         So, today (December 24th), we in America are on the eve of yet another holiday which has lost all of its meaning. Christmas in the Postmodern United States has really become one great exercise in evading Reality. Over the previous several years, the Whacko Left Wing of the Uniparty has sought to denigrate any spiritual overtones surrounding the event, while Virtue-Signaling and serving the interests of Wall Street became the New Normal defining the Christmas Spirit. Now that the Reactionary Wing is in power, Christmas is about denying things like, say, the ongoing Genocide in Palestine, the build-up to war to annex Latin America and the Arctic in the interests of the Techno-Fascist Deep State; the deployment of secret police forces and building of Concentration Camps, Smart Cities, etc. To help encourage distractions even further, we've had another release of muh Epstein Files so that partisans of both wings of the Uniparty can clutch their pearls in self-righteous outrage and point fingers at each other. 

          Another story that has somewhat faded but generated some further fake outrage for a time was the story of CBS spiking a documentary on the CECOT Gulag in El Salvador. The Corporate Media---which is still trying desperately to pretend that it has even the slightest shred of journalistic integrity or independence---is getting some sympathy from the Democrats who are howling about the Administration's growing stranglehold over content. They're hoping that nobody will notice that they've been doing the same thing for several years. The Democrats would also probably hope that, by focusing on Epstein, nobody will remember that the US started these inhuman ICE deportations under Biden, with full support from Democrats in Congress; and the Republicans would just as soon nobody ask questions either; since that would undermine their narrative about the Democrats supposedly favoring Open Borders.

       Atrocities in the Police State of El Salvador---whose dictator has visited the White House and been a regular speaker at American Conservative conferences---were not the only story from the region swept under the rug by the Corporate Media. In neighboring Honduras, a de facto US-backed Color Revolution occurred, installing an ally of the White House and (more importantly) the Techno-Fascist Oligarchy. Just as El Salvador is a model for the type of Police State that the Elites wish to impose in the US, Honduras has been a battleground over development of a proposed Smart City, which the Elites also hope to establish in America. Earlier this month, the White House quietly pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, a backer and partner of Peter Thiel's Prospera Project, which his successor as Honduran President has opposed strongly. The now-deposed Honduran Government deported Hernandez to the US, where he was convicted of smuggling 400 tons of Cocaine into the country. 

     "A Wall Street Journal story reveals that Trump goon Roger Stone explicitly argued pardoning Hernández could 'crush socialism and save a freedom city in Honduras,' calling Prospera a project with 'major implications for U.S. policy and the future of freedom throughout the world.'" Stone is a long-time Deep State operative, a protegee of one of the sleaziest political operators in American History, Roy Cohn. It's not surprising that he would ally with the likes of Thiel, since Thiel and Cohn are very similar characters.

      We're certain, though, that the True Believers and the Denialists will have no end of excuses and rationalizations for all of these crimes; likewise the Controlled Opposition (who are the Democrats) will pretend not to notice and focus on salacious stories and rumors from Epstein Island. Such is the Postmodern State of the Christmas Season---as divorced from the Reality of Christmas as contemporary Christianity is from the actual Gospel.
