The Fat Lady Sings, by the Bionic Mosquito

The Bionic Mosquito argues that some in the elite who want the US to veer from its ultimately impossible course of trying to maintain global unipolar dominance. From the Bionic Mosquito at lewrockwell.com:

There are those in positions of power and authority – call them the elite – who desire that the United States government changes course; no more global hegemon, as this path has led to the reality of global nuclear superpower confrontation. I have written words to this effect more times than I can count over the last several years.

Of course, just because of this subset of the elite desire this does not mean they can make it so. The elite doesn’t speak with one voice; there are likely also those in “the elite” that desire to continue in the current direction.

Even if the elite spoke with one voice, the elite doesn’t “control” the government and politicians in a direct manner; they have “programmed” politicians and other tools to act in certain manners, and once the virus has been let loose…well, the elite cannot change the direction of a 1300 foot-long cargo ship on a dime.

The building of an Anglo empire has roots that go back hundreds of years. The shifting of the tool as a focal point, from Great Britain to the United States, began over 100 years ago and culminated at the end of World War II. Churchill’s biggest success might very well be as the one British politician holding positions of power throughout this transition from the turn of the last century to the end of that war – and in being instrumental in ensuring the transition. In other words, Churchill’s most important achievement was in destroying the British Empire in exchange for securing the continuation of the Anglo Empire.

The elite work through others – hundreds of thousands of others – trained in proper universities, trained in proper methods of diplomacy, manipulation, and control. They work through others who are trained to react to incentives – money and power.

These hundreds of thousands of people are programmed to act in a certain way. Hillary Clinton is a perfect – and relevant for this time – example. She cannot be and cannot act in any way other than how she has been programmed. The person who gloated at the sodomizing of Kaddafi is what we know her to be.

And this is why I have argued that there are those within this thing we call “the elite” that are supporting Trump for president. Hillary will bomb because that’s what she knows; Trump will negotiate, because that’s what he knows.

While not the first elite mouthpiece to say or write such a thing (I recall Kissinger and many others), thanks to a commentary written by Mike Whitney we have a summary from an article written by one of the most formidable voices to add his to the chorus of “the US must change course”:

The main architect of Washington’s plan to rule the world has abandoned the scheme and called for the forging of ties with Russia and China. While Zbigniew Brzezinski’s article in The American Interest titled “Toward a Global Realignment” has largely been ignored by the media, it shows that powerful members of the policymaking establishment no longer believe that Washington will prevail in its quest to extend US hegemony across the Middle East and Asia.

Whitney’s piece is worth reading, the line for line.
