The leaders of the Washington Empire have lost contact with Earth. What matters is their feelings and values about what's right. Interests, reality, come second. They, the Neocons, take decisions and actions based on dogma and ideology, then they demand that 'reality' follows their lead. It's unhinged and irrational, and definitely no way to run an empire.

"They, the Neocons, take decisions and actions based on dogma and ideology, then they demand that 'reality' follows their lead..."

"We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."

Karl Rove

Corbyn's nemesis

I think I've got the right guy. It was Karl Rove who was instrumental in Corbyn's demise, in that the dark forces out to destroy JC took a leaf out of Rove's playbook which was to " attack your enemies at their strongest point, not their weakest" which on the face of it goes against common sense. But it works. Corbyn's enemies started out with attacks on him as a friend of Russia and a traitor to his own country. They kept pursuing this line of him as a "dangerous socialist with wacky left-wing views" until it became apparent that it was having absolutely no effect on his popularity, and little traction on even those in the electorate who were his natural opponents. Indeed, poll after poll on the nationalisation of the railways and public utilities showed that these dangerous left-wing policies were garnering 60 and 70 per cent public support. Time, therefore, for a rethink.
Some bright spark decided to attack him on his unimpeachable credentials as a fighter for human rights and lifelong campaigner against all forms of racism. How on earth would that work, some must have wondered. But it fukcing well did. Thank Mr Rove for that.

It will cost the UK taxpayer £132bn to decommission all the UK’s civil nuclear sites and the work will not be completed for another 120 years, according to latest estimates.

Someone did that to me when I was a student nurse in the early 90s. It took me aback but the next time a generic manager tried it I had a few well-rehearsed spontaneous comments ready*. ;O)
