The establishment only dislikes Trump because he puts an ugly face on the
empire
4 Jun, 2020
By Caitlin Johnstone, an independent journalist based in Melbourne,
Australia. Her website is here and you can follow her on Twitter @caitoz
Former US President Barack Obama has won liberal praise with a compassionate
speech on the killing of George Floyd, while Trump gets nothing but hate.
Neither has done much to fix things – but Trump has done it with an ugly
face.
Barack Obama has given his perfunctory speech about the Black Lives Matter
protests taking place in America, and it was every bit as full of pretty
words and empty of actual substance as you’d expect from a president who
spent eight years stagnating the progressive movement with empty hope
narrative while advancing the same murderous oppressive agendas as his
predecessors.
The former president talked about changes that need to be made as though he
wasn’t the most powerful politician in America for two full terms, praised
the nation’s police officers saying “the vast majority” of them protect
and serve the people, and encouraged them to continue making empty gestures
of solidarity with the protesters to calm them down.
“I want to acknowledge the folks in law enforcement that share the goals of
re-imagining policing,” Obama said on Wednesday. “Because there are folks
out there who took their oath to serve your communities to your countries [
who] have a tough job, and I know you’re just as outraged about the
tragedies in the recent weeks as are many of the protesters. So we’re
grateful for the vast majority of you who protect and serve. I’ve been
heartened to see those in law enforcement who recognize, ‘Let me march
along with these protesters. Let me stand side by side and recognize that I
want to be part of the solution,’ and have shown restraint and volunteered
and engaged and listened because you’re a vital part of the conversation,
and change is going to require everyone’s participation.”
George W. Bush also weighed in on the protests, with the “compassionate
conservative” who murdered a million Iraqis sending liberals throughout the
Twitterverse into fits of ecstasy with his emotional plea for “empathy,
and shared commitment, and bold action, and a peace rooted in justice.”
Establishment narrative managers on both sides of America’s imaginary
partisan divide have been saturating the mass media with gushing praise for
the two former presidents and their wonderful words of healing and unity,
and indeed, the words are quite nice. They will change exactly nothing, but
they sound nice.
And that is exactly what a US president’s real job is. Not to end police
brutality and systemic racism, not to make changes which benefit the
American people, and certainly not to make the world a less violent and
murderous place, but to say pretty words which lull the public into a
pleasant propaganda-induced coma while the sociopathic oligarchs who really
run things rob them blind.
This is not accomplished by tweeting obnoxious things about shooting “thugs
” and getting censored by Twitter. It is not accomplished by threatening to
implement martial law against the will of the states. It is not
accomplished by using the military to brutalize protesters so you can pose
in front of a burnt church with an upside-down Bible. It is not accomplished
by calling the brother of George Floyd and being curt, uninterested and
dismissive. It is not accomplished by first mismanaging a pandemic, then
mismanaging a response to an incendiary police murder, then having nothing
soothing or sympathetic to say that makes people feel like you’re listening
and you care. It is not accomplished by creating an environment which
allows photos to circulate of the nation’s capital burning.
And that, right there, is the one and only reason why certain elements of
the establishment do not like President Trump.
Whenever I point out the many, many evil establishment agendas that have
been advanced by the current US president, I always get Trump supporters
asking me “Well if he’s serving the establishment, how come establishment
media and politicians attack him so hysterically, huh?”
This is why. At first glance it might seem strange to see Democrats and
their aligned media shrieking about Trump with such an unprecedented degree
of vitriol, but they aren’t doing this because Trump resists the
establishment in any meaningful way on domestic or foreign policy; he
provides no significant resistance to toxic establishment agendas at all.
The reason there’s been such shrill, hysterical rhetoric about this
president from establishment narrative managers is because unlike his
predecessors, Trump puts an ugly face on the empire.
People who have dedicated their lives to advancing the interests of the
oligarchic empire see Trump as an incompetent manager whose oafish, ham-
fisted approach to his role risks drawing attention to the evil things the
empire does. The US police force, for example, hasn’t gotten any more
brutal or racist since Trump has been in office, he just hasn’t been able
to manage events and narratives competently to keep the peasants from waking
up and revolting.
Establishment narrative managers understand how to skilfully manipulate
public perception without being obvious about it, and they understand how
easily an incompetent steward of empire can snap people out of their
propaganda trance. They therefore dislike Trump for the same reason a new
mother dislikes a noisy neighbor: they’ll wake the baby. They don’t
dislike Trump because he does good things, and they certainly don’t dislike
Trump because he does bad things. They dislike Trump because he does bad
things in a way that startles the people out of their sleep.
That’s the real reason the political/media class has been behaving so weird
the last four years. It isn’t because Trump’s not a loyal empire lackey (
he is), it isn’t because he’s a Russian secret agent (he’s not), and it
isn’t because he’s a uniquely depraved president (he’s not). It’s
because he allows people to see the perverse mechanics of a globe-sprawling
murderous empire for the sick, evil thing that it actually is. That and
nothing more.
