Jeremy Kuzmarov - Warmonger - How Clinton's Malign Foreign Policy Launched the US Trajectory from Bush II to BidenNov 17, 2023During  the 2016 presidential election, many younger voters repudiated Hillary  Clinton because of her husband's support for mass incarceration, banking  deregulation and free-trade agreements that led many U.S. jobs to be  shipped overseas. Warmonger: How Clinton's Malign Foreign Policy Launched the Trajectory from Bush II to Biden,  shows that Clinton's foreign policy was just as bad as his domestic  policy. Cultivating an image as a former anti-Vietnam War activist to  win over the aging hippie set in his early years, as president, Clinton  bombed six countries and, by the end of his first term, had committed  U.S. troops to 25 separate military operations, compared to 17 in Ronald  Reagan's two terms. Clinton further expanded America's covert empire of  overseas surveillance outposts and spying and increased the budget for  intelligence spending and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a  CIA offshoot which promoted regime change in foreign nations.   The  latter was not surprising because, according to CIA operative Cord  Meyer Jr., Clinton had been recruited into the CIA while a Rhodes  Scholar at Oxford, and as Governor of Arkansas in the 1980s he had  allowed clandestine arms and drug flights to Nicaraguan  counter-revolutionaries (Contras) backed by the CIA to be taken from  Mena Airport in the western part of the state. Rather than being a time  of tranquility when the U.S. failed to pay attention to the gathering  storm of terrorism, as New York Times columnist David Brooks frames it,  the Clinton presidency saw rising tensions among the U.S., China and  Russia because of Clinton's malign foreign policies, and U.S. complicity  in terrorist acts.   In so many ways, Clinton's presidency set  the groundwork for the disasters that were to follow under Bush II,  Obama, Trump, and Biden. It was Clinton--building off of Reagan--who  first waged a War on Terror ridden with double standards, one that  adopted terror tactics, including extraordinary rendition, bombing and  the use of drones. It was Clinton who cried wolf about human rights  abuses and the need to protect beleaguered peoples from genocide to  justify military intervention in a post-Cold War age. And it was  Clinton's administration that pressed for regime change in Iraq and  raised public alarm about the mythic WMDs--all while relying on fancy  new military technologies and private military contractors to distance  US shady military interventions from the public to limit dissent.Jeremy Kuzmarov talks to Ed Opperman about his surprising and highly researched new book.BookBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Twentieth-century European fascism boasted of a strong State run by a right-wing Fuher or demagogue, i.e., dictator. Both in Italy and Nazi Germany, the nuclear family was central to the enthusiasm for patriotic nationalism and militarism. The fascist parties ran on anti-democratic and anti-capitalist platforms; this was their con. The parties were pro-corporatism or in other words demanded a “corporative state.” A racialized social Darwinism was present, which led to the embrace of expansionary militarism and imperialism. Fascism has been a global phenomenon for the last 4,000 to 6,000 years. It is in the massed. It materialized during an economic crisis (Great Depression). There is a history of terror and violence inflicted on the Other, e.g., Jews, Communists, socialists, homosexuals, Indians, Negroes, immigrants, which maintains the status quo. With twentieth-century fascism there was a total unification with the State. The unity was based on an enforced symbiosis, whereby the “mobilized passions” were utilized to destroy unions and any forms of opposition to the State. Spectacle, commemorations, and state-run youth organizations dominated space and time, so private self was eliminated. One of a body of the State. The self was merged with the public self, e.g., being Catholic and being Italian, based on this collectivization of all spheres of life. Twenty-first century fascism in the U.S. requires Reich's application of “functional thinking.” Twentieth and twenty-first century fascism are simultaneously identical and antithetical (in opposition). For example, body and mind are not two not one: a functional unity whereby psyche and soma are two sides of the same coin. The function of fascism is to physically and ideologically enclose citizens in the pursuit of maintaining the status quo by any means necessary, e.g., war, propaganda, etc. This naïve application allows us to consider how twentieth-century fascism is a continuously functional process of maintaining the status quo. Therefore, twenty-first century American fascism relies on the projection of a weak state and ineffectual leader, e.g., Bush II, Biden. The centrality of the nuclear family (sex-negating, compulsive monogamy) remains with room for cultural differences: same-sex, bi-racial, etc. For fifty years, the slogan “government is the problem” prevails. The “corporative state” of twentieth-century fascism is actualized in the complete corporate takeover of the State in the U.S. Instead of antiparliamentarianism, the emphasis of both parties is to “save democracy” and “save the Republic.” This saving is about maintaining class divisions for the global power elite to reap benefits from. In short, to return to a restorative period (status quo) or Make America Great Again. Social Darwinism is still the norm, but instead of a racist ideology, a purely self-interested model is all-pervasive: neoliberal ideology, i.e., run everything like a business, including oneself. Militarism and imperialism remain in U.S. but based on invisible enemies abroad. The U.S. empire has shifted into a predominantly Connection role (armaments), so other nations can fight. The racism of slavery and Jim Crow remains in areas of the country and certainly on the Indigenous “reservations” (enclosures). However, fascism is more personalized: each individual participates in the hateful Othering online, e.g., LGBTQ+, immigrants, Republicans, Democrats, in unity with the Nation. Twentieth-century fascism required the mobilization of emotion and passion, which is in contrast with twenty-first century fascism. Jean Baudrillard recognized that the new system is one of universalized deterrence. Deterrence is a strange form of activity: “it is what causes something not to take place.” Politics and the media have erected a social (digital) system to pacify the citizenry. The compulsion to communicate and cancel manifests as a digital panopticon whereby the State,

Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded November 15th, 2023 If there is any value in staying informed: reading the papers, watching television reports, subscribing to online journalists and aggregators, it is to be prepared. But even the most assiduous, meticulously matriculated self-education can lead to where the familiar becomes alien, and once confident knowledge incognizance. It's then, when the world fails to make sense, we ask, "How did we get here?" Answering that requires a broader perspective than is possible with our noses pressed against the present; for that, a little historical distance is prescriptive. For example, we can't appreciate why the United States is where it is in November, 2023 without knowing what happened November 22nd, 1963. Likewise, understanding Israel's actions today means revealing the real events of November 4th, 1995. Jeremy Kuzmarov is a journalist and author who also serves as Managing Editor at CovertActionMagazine.com. His book titles include, ‘Obama's Unending Wars', ‘The Russians Are Coming, Again', written with John Marciano, and his latest, fresh from the printer's, 'Warmonger: How Clinton's Malign Foreign Policy Launched the US Trajectory from Bush II to Biden'. Jeremy's recent article at CAM, 'Yigal Amir is Israel's Oswald' examines the day prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated and how that foul deed helped make Israel what it is today. Jeremy Kuzmarov in the first half. And; for millions inside the country and out, Canada seems unrecognizable today. From saluting Nazis in Parliament, to standing in opposition to peace and human rights resolutions at the United Nations, whither the familiar northern beacon of bland? James Bissett is a former Canadian Ambassador whose tenure in Yugoslavia coincided with that country's 1991 dissolution. And, at century's end he was one of the very few government insiders to oppose NATO's 78 day bombardment of Serbia in the name of “humanitarian intervention.” James Bissett and finding Canada in the second half. But first, Jeremy Kuzmarov and Israel's infamous sacrifice. Chris Cook hosts Gorilla Radio, broad/webcasting since 1999.

On today's show, Jeremy Kuzmarov discusses his Ph.D. in American History, his dissertation, THE MYTH OF THE ADDICTED ARMY, the G.I. rebellion in Vietnam in the late 1960s, the fear-and-war mongering of America's national security state, and the CIA's role in crimes, coup and worse since the 1940s.

Conservatives tend to view the media as leftist. Due to certain experiences of the Reagan and Bush II administrations, they also seem to believe the media tries to undermine a muscular foreign and defense policy. In fact, on matters of foreign policy and reporting on foreign countries, the media should largely be seen as supporting whatever the US policy towards those nations might be, policy that is typically quite bi-partisan in nature.Subscribe to my newsletter at: aaronrenn.com.

Why does it have to be us or them? Bush II tried to use Iraq to force nonaligned nations to choose; it failed. And it’s not working today on Ukraine. Why do so many nations still insist on not choosing The post Ukraine War: Trying to Bifurcate a Non-Aligned World appeared first on Keeping Democracy Alive.

Part two of our deep background on the NATO liberals.   In this episode, we get into the post-Cold War presidencies of Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden. The post-Cold War Clinton era is particularly instructive for U.S. foreign policy and empire today. Keeping Europe divided, Russia weak and flexing the military industrial complex muscle (i.e. massive defense budgets) on "teacup wars" in places like the former Yugoslavia and Iraq are all part of the American hegemonic project. They maintained stability and allowed markets to grow.  The Obama administration continued the Clinton and Bush II policies except with precision drone strikes.  Biden's policies have pulled the U.S. out of Afghanistan, but have been more confrontational with Russia and China.  Despite the death and misery created by U.S. wars on Yugoslavia, Iraq and Libya, the NATO liberals see it, in the words of the late Secretary of State Madeline Albright, as "worth it." ------------------------- Outro- "Love me, I'm a liberal" by Carly Cosgrove Links// The War Party: From Bush to Obama, and Trump to Biden, U.S. Militarism Is the Great Unifier (https://bit.ly/3LJQkF0) The Nation: The Clinton Doctrine (https://bit.ly/3K7tuH5) Chomsky: The Obama Doctrine (https://bit.ly/3uaqp3m) Follow Green and Red// https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast Check out our new website: https://greenandredpodcast.org/ Join our Discord Party: https://bit.ly/36hqx7X Donate to Green and Red Podcast// Become a recurring donor at  https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast Or make a one time donation here: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

We get into a play by play of how Democratic administrations get away with infinitely more than a Republican administration can. We compare Reagan/Bush I to Clinton, to Bush II, to Obama and finally Trump to Biden. Is anyone noticing how Biden and his policies (with little exception) are merely an extension and acceleration of Trump's policies? How the so-called liberal can say they're happy with Biden and the so-called conservative can think Biden is a communist is laughable.

Bush I didn't do it, Clinton didn't do it. Bush II didn't do it. Obama didn't do it. Declaring “the dawn of a new Middle East,” President Donald Trump on Tuesday presided over the signing of historic diplomatic pacts between Israel and two Gulf Arab nations that he hopes will lead to a new order in the Mideast and cast him as a peacemaker at the height of his reelection campaign.

Powerful.  That’s how I’d describe today’s episode.  A deep dive into the mind of COL(R) Larry Wilkerson, his career as a U.S. Army officer to include combat in Vietnam, his close professional relationship with Colin Powell, his time at the State Department during the Bush II era, his thoughts on various conflicts to include Iraq and Syria, and his thoughts on the murder of George Floyd amist the COVID-19 era.   Lawrence Wilkerson’s last positions in government were as Secretary of State Colin Powell's Chief of Staff (2002-05), Associate Director of the State Department's Policy Planning staff under the directorship of Ambassador Richard N. Haass, and member of that staff responsible for East Asia and the Pacific, political-military and legislative affairs (2001-02).  Before serving at the State Department, Wilkerson served 31 years in the U.S. Army. During that time, he was a member of the faculty of the U.S. Naval War College (1987 to 1989), Special Assistant to General Powell when he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989-93), and Director and Deputy Director of the U.S. Marine Corps War College at Quantico, Virginia (1993-97).  Wilkerson retired from active service in 1997 as a colonel, and began work as an advisor to General Powell. He has also taught national security affairs in the Honors Program at the George Washington University.  He is currently working on a book about the first George W. Bush administration.

Authors Julio Moreno and Thomas O'Keefe debate the current state of U.S. hegemony in Latin America and the Caribbean, a region where the United States first made its appearance as a world power in the late 19th century. In his new book, Bush II, Obama, and the Decline of U.S. Hegemony in the Western Hemisphere, O'Keefe assets that U.S. economic dominance and leadership in the Americas has been in noticeable decline since the start of the 21st century. In his recent co-authored book, Beyond the Eagle's Shadow, Moreno posits that even at its height during the Cold War, U.S. power and influence in the Western Hemisphere was often contested and never complete.

2017.09.11 The global circulation of Donald Trump’s political rhetoric during the presidential campaign of 2015-16 produced international dismay, bewilderment, and apprehension, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). It also effected a rupture of the crucial divide between American popular culture and US politics—a distinction that allowed American cultural products, massively popular in the Middle East and elsewhere, to proliferate in places where U.S. politics were unpopular or rejected. During the Bush II and Obama administrations, a new generation in the MENA region differentiated between the cultural products and political system of the U.S. and creatively recoded, incorporated, and localized a global American culture. The breach of the divide between American popular and political culture, or its blurring, portends the winter of the American empire and the postscript to the “American century,” an influential formation which held that the popularity and attractiveness of American culture had positive political benefits for the United States. In the age of Trump and Twitter, the American political system itself has become a horrible form of global entertainment. How devastating the effects will be remains to be seen. Brian T. Edwards Crown Professor in Middle East Studies and Professor of English, Comparative Literary Studies and American Studies, Northwestern University

Trump has proven that he's no different than Clinton by being just another war hawk. Is anyone surprised? Thank you for joining me on the thirty-sixth episode of The LAVA Spurt, Trump Beating the War Drums.  Trump is fitting right in at the Oval Office by continuing the war hawk stances of every modern president since... well... forever. His act of war against Syria and his saber rattling against North Korea is exactly the same sort of thing we've seen from Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush II, Obama, and exactly what we would have seen from Hillary Clinton had she been elected. While Trump campaigned as an anti-war candidate and that he would handle Russia differently than Clinton would have, I don't think any real libertarians are surprised by this turn of events. Trump is just following in a long line of footsteps and will continue to do so, not only in the area of war. The funny thing about this is that even Trump himself was anti-Syrian war when Obama was saber-rattling a few years ago. Oh, how the weak and lame have fallen. Some of Trump's previous tweets on Syria prior to being President should be re-read by current President Trump. Here are a few examples: What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a possible long term conflict? Obama needs Congressional approval. That was in August of 2013. In September of 2013, Trump had two other tweets for Obama: President Obama, do not attack Syria. There is no upside and trememdous downside. AGAIN, TO OUR VERY FOOLISH LEADER, DO NOT ATTACK SYRIA - IF YOU DO MANY VERY BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN & FROM THAT FIGHT THE US GETS NOTHING! Sadly, Trump was right in 2013, the action of bombing Syria puts more lives, including American lives, at risk than any action of Trump's presidency so far. I have a friend in the Navy right now and he has told me that the war drums are beating extra loudly right now. He told me that, "I've washed my hands several times and the blood isn't coming off." I am terrified for my friend, for all men and women in the armed forces, and for all of the men, women, and children in Syria. He also tells me to tell my listeners, "Just know that a disgusting amount of people in the service are itching for war." Brother, keep your head down and keep me posted on what is going on out there, Grey Duck! There is no way that bombing Syria is going to end well for us. There is no way the calls for regime change and US boots on the ground helps us in any way, and all it will do is pull Russia into a proxy war with us, which will essentially bring about another cold war. Sen. Graham is calling for 6,000 boots on the ground and US Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, is saying that regime change in Syria is inevitable and that nothing "is off the table" when it comes to imposing tougher sanctions on Russia and Iran.  Haley also said, "We don't see a peaceful Syria with Assad in there." What the actual fuck? This is terrifying stuff and could be an impetus to a large regional or even world war.  And, speaking of cold wars, Trump has also sent the US Navy's Third Fleet forward-deployed strike group, headed by the supercarrier USS Carl Vinson and supported by guided-missile destroyers and cruisers, orders to re-route toward the Korean Peninsula. And, the National Security Council has presented President Donald Trump with options to respond to North Korea's nuclear program — including putting American nukes in South Korea or killing dictator Kim Jong-un, multiple top-ranking intelligence and military officials told NBC News.  This is just what we need, another war with North Korea which will do nothing but give legitimacy to Kim Jong-un's rhetoric to his people that it is North Korea against the world. This will solidify his domination and dictatorship over his people, which is the exact opposite effect we would be looking for.  Why is it that the people who claim to be our leaders want to wave their pricks around to see who has the biggest one all the while putting the average civilian more at risk and risking the lives of our military men and women as if they are nothing more than cannon fodder?  I remember the previous calls for war with Syria in 2013. I remember the anti-war sentiment that was out there at the time from the right because Obama was president. Now, the right is calling for this war and calling for regime change. Where is the anti-war left? Maybe this will finally get them back out in droves, although the left-leaning media seems to also be complicit in helping Trump beat the war drums.  As libertarians, we must remain diligent calling for peace and an end to war posturing, acts of war, and war making. We must be on the front lines saying these actions are wrong and spreading a message of non-intervention. We need to hold the war mongers accountable. As George S. McGovern once said, "I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.” Fuck war mongers in the neck. I have four words for them. Not in my name. Until next time... keep striking the root!

Like it or not, governments need to mobilize their populations in times of crisis and one of the ways they do it is to disseminate propaganda. Now this is uncomplicated if you are, say, Stalin and claim to know what's best for everyone and control the media (and most everything else) completely. But what if you are, say, McKinley, Wilson, Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, or Bush (II) and you don't claim to know what's best for everyone or control the media (or much anything else) completely? What does “propaganda” look like in a liberal democratic context where the government's line can be challenged by you, me and everyone else? This is the important question Susan Brewer addresses in her fascinating new book Why America Fights: Patriotism and War Propaganda from the Philippines to Iraq (Oxford, 2009). The answer is not simple. American presidents were always running up against citizens–sometimes organized and sometimes not–who simply wouldn't swallow the administration's line about this or that war. Stalin could tell the Ministry of Truth to tell the people what the Truth was; American presidents couldn't. They had to send their messages out into the “Marketplace of Ideas.” Sometimes people bought what was on offer (World War II), sometimes they didn't (Vietnam). And Susan does a fine job of telling the whole story. Please become a fan of “New Books in History” on Facebook if you haven't already.
