Apocalypse Now and Forever | James Howard Kunstler



James Howard Kunstler -- World News Trust

Feb. 2, 2015

As a political psychoanalyst I find the Super-bowl halftime show the best concise index of how psychotic American culture is becoming from year to year, and the 2015 version signaled a complete break from reality, a nightmare of twerking robots in a hall of mirrors, as if America had utterly surrendered its tattered soul to some rogue motherboard pulsing deep within Dr. Evil’s subterranean palace of sin.

Hence it is the perfect analog for understanding otherwise incomprehensible happenings such as the USA’s role in fomenting further chaos and mayhem in Ukraine.

How otherwise to explain things like this morning’s New York Times report that the USA “now supports providing defensive weapons and equipment to Kiev’s beleaguered forces, and an array of administration and military officials appear to be edging toward that position….”

Earth calling New York Times readers: I regret to inform you that this decision was already reached a year ago when we paid for the coup d’état against the elected President, Viktor Yanukovych, after the poor sap decided to not sign up with EU but rather the Russian-backed Eurasian Customs Union. Whoops! You’re so out of here, Bub, State Department Under Secretary Victoria Nuland burbled in a clandestinely recorded phone call to the American ambassador. Will somebody please find Yats! Yes Yats! (UKR politician Arseniy Yatsenyuk) and plug the Bluetooth earpiece of power into his skull!

No one in the history of the last 10+ years has been as wrong as this snake oil selling charlatan.

The world has been ending non-stop for him the entire time while he peddles books and "plans" and predicts a tribal future for humanity...YAWN!

nor as deaf as those that will not hear.

The USA has bloody hands, Ukrainian blood dripping from the finger it poked into a country that was trying to get established, and is now torn by an uncivil war, NeoNazis killing their neighbors and cousins in the name of Western hegemony, globalism's greed.

And now we have Russians making snide comments about Kiev "Jews." You guys have got to keep your stories straight. Are Russian-backed rebels and paramilitary troops in eastern Ukraine fighting Nazis or Jews? Or just trying to provide a corridor into Russia from the illegally annexed Crimea? What are Russia's bloody plans in Georgia? I await your wisdom with baited breath.
