TEA-ness Envy

Chris Hedges interviews Noam Chomsky on the subject of TEA Parties...

Truthdig: Chomsky Has 'Never Seen Anything Like This'

“I have never seen anything like this in my lifetime,” Chomsky added. “I am old enough to remember the 1930s. My whole family was unemployed. There were far more desperate conditions than today. But it was hopeful. People had hope... There is nothing like that now. The mood of the country is frightening. The level of anger, frustration and hatred of institutions is not organized in a constructive way. It is going off into self-destructive fantasies.”

Chomsky just doesn't get it... While there is the potential for the kind of dangerous outcome he imagines (particualrly if the Tea Party continues to get routed away from the anti-war Paul factions and towards Palin's militarism), his fears are largely misguided... Or, as with much of the fear and loathing coming from the left, his alarmism only betrays an envy that an uprising like this didn't come from progressive ranks during the Bush years.

Political allegiances aside, he should be happy that the otherwise apathetic masses are finally getting fighting mad! These days they are somewhat less concerned with NFL stats and now are spending more time and energy writing angry letters to their representatives, attending protests, and getting involved with their local communities. The more astute among them are even becoming savvy in recognizing the dangers of big government/big business symbiosis, and how the two-party "duopoly" & main-stream media had previously succeeded in "manufacturing consent." But no more. The beauty of this is that the general public - and the productive classes in particular - can no longer be so easily duped; they are less susceptible to being mugged by another 9/11, for instance. Though it would've been nice had they acquired this level of recognition in March of 2003, nonetheless late is better than never. Even Rush Limbaugh has been warning of the possibility of false-flag domestic terrorism - as Alex Jones creeps into the talk-radio market-share, so does his rhetoric become mainstream.

That being said, Chomsky is correct that there are certain points of similarity of the Tea Party movement with the populist fever that gathered around Hitler during the Weimar period. For one thing, a point which he doesn't emphasize, the motivating factors are similar - in the case of Weimar Germany, it was austerity measures imposed in order to pay off foreign debts (following the Versailles Treaty and the "November criminals" who signed it) that got the Volk mad; while in the current situation, it is austerity measures now being imposed to pay off the gambling debts of Wall St. following the bank bailouts which the Federal Reserve pushed on Congress with threats of martial law in September '08.

But he is also correct that the difference is the absence of a Hitler - yet - though this appears to be Palin's aspiration. This could change...

A bad sign is the recent "Papers Please" immigration legislation passed in Arizona with Tea Party support.

A spate of mid-April headlines...

Pravda: Poland Beheaded in Russian Forest

Obviously, few will accept that this was simply an accident, so let the theories roll, beginning with Lame Cherry: A Polish Assasination in Theory. Kurt Nimmo over at Prison Planet reherses some of the possible motivating factors: Did Global Elite Kill Polish President Kaczynski? Meanwhile, Lyndon LaRouche suggests that this is just a warm-up for a British plot to assassinate Obama... LaRouche Warns: Polish Plane Crash Fuels Threat of a British Hit on Obama.

We can speculate endlessly about the level of development and deployment of weather & earthquake weapons. It might turn out that such are deployed primarily as psy-ops (in which case they seem to be quite effective on Ahmadinejad).

Sodano Rebuffs Sodomite Paedophilia Charges

Certain headlines simply proffer themselves to WXXX, as opposed to other news outlets which must opt for the more euphemistic expressions...

Catholic World News: At Vatican's Easter Mass, Cardinal Sodano defends Pope against 'petty gossip'

There is often a curious timing in the way certain stories enter and develop through news cycles. For instance, the recent allegations of Pope Benedict's protection of pedophile priests occurred about a week prior to Holy Week, and with such impeccable timing to deliver this story on Good Friday:

AP: US Jewish leaders denounce Catholic sermon

Yes, on the day commemorating the crucifixion of Christ at the behest of the Pharisees, the hapless priest should have known better than to utter the words "anti-semitism" and "Pope" in the same passage (Ratzinger was, after all, Hitler Jugend!) - even if he was quoting a Jewish friend, in the penultimate paragraph of...

Another case in point of timing the news: just shy of a month before the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing, it comes as no surprise that the federal judiciary/mainstream media-complex should be scare-pimping the subject of militias once again, spurred by the arrests of the Hutaree militia... It's as if we've entered a news time-warp into the 1990s...

NYTimes: The Government and the Militia Movement

NPR: When Right-Wing Extremism Moves Mainstream

On the latter note, it seems the aforementioned complex is recruiting its own to lead an insurrection, what with Glenn Beck penning his own version of The Turner Diaries...
