For me, me, me media elite & country club Congress only personal trauma matters
Washington is responsible for more death, destruction and human suffering than any group in history but they only care when violence affects them.
The “deadly attack“ had one victim, Ashli Babbitt the pro-Trump supporter killed by Capitol police in the three hour ordeal. I watched video live-streamed with Capitol police moving the barriers to let crowds on the steps flow in and wandering between the ropes inside the rotunda. I saw the people’s house overwhelmed by crowds that looked more like attendees at a State fair with a handful behaving badly.
Nobody in media or Congress was harmed they just realized they are vulnerable to violence. There’s not a shred of compassion for the victims of Washington’s endless wars. They shield themselves from the carnage they rain down on vast civilian populations by deceptive language that calls carpet bombing a No Fly Zone or torture enhance interrogation and hollow speeches about respect for human rights. None of this is possible without complicit media who ignore or endorse the lies.
Genocide that starves millions including children and withholds medical care is framed as sanctions against brutal dictators. The language is intentionally misleading and obscures horrific inhumanity average people would reject if not for the massaging of ghastly criminality in the polite terminology of servants to the war machine.
Claims of debilitating PTSD from the events of January 6th confirms they only feel for themselves. The fate of their victims has no emotional impact; only their own fears and suffering has merit. The level of narcissism required to view themselves as traumatized victims, while they spend more than most of the world combined to promote and fund wars of aggression, is mind boggling. It highlights the sense of isolated, elite entitlement, wrapped in the propaganda of global security they pretend to have as a motive for directing the greatest ongoing genocide in human history.
Especially telling is the level of trauma the reporters express with fears of being unsafe in their homes while they are collectively silent or complicit as Trump then Biden DoJ prosecute Julian Assange, a foreign journalist for publishing eveidence of war crimes. Why are they not fearful that activity every National Security journalist engages in routinely has resulted in the torture and jailing of a man who has never committed a crime except to offend the corrupt cabals who use secrecy to hide their crimes?
Why are they not living in fear of the FBI cutting deals with criminals to frame them as they have done to Julian Assange? Why aren’t they having nightmares about being tossed into a high security prison for years without trial just flimsy accusations by unaccountable government groups who have no respect for Rule of Law? Where are the calls to prosecute war criminals including Reuters journalists murdered in Iraq?
Where is the outrage and fear as fair trial rights are trampled by CIA spying on their target’s meeting with his defense lawyers the Grayzone and others reported? How is sprawling abuse of covert power not concerning but public outrage causes PTSD?
They call themselves journalists but most clearly have no fear of the retribution that comes with true adversarial journalism or the fact of CIA plotting to kidnap or kill for reporting inconvenient truths about the powers would give them bigger nightmares then the crowds who filled the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
That their only traumatizing fear is produced by the angry public who feel betrayed by Washington tells us they are nothing more than servants of the Beltway machine who expect to be protected like any reliable Mafia bag man, just doing a job for a buck.
There’s no collective panic over mass surveillance, vanishing Rule of Law, censorship, the loss of free speech and free press haunting these pseudo journalists. Instead they are unaffected by crimes of the powerful and grappling with PTSD as a novel condition with the trauma of their country club lifestyles and comfortable insulation being shattered. That’s the only Federal case they lose sleep over.
