Now America begins to dismantle its Empire, just what the groovy hippies wanted. A desire straight from the golden peaches of Jane Fonda’s rack, and dating back to the same time when Barbarella was the defining intellectual moment of hippy Fonda’s life, those of us who consider the N-word to be a bad word, even when N-people use it, are looking over writings and history on the retreat of empire.
When I was in university, foolishly not taking courses towards being an over paid, over pensioned, low-effort, and little results orientated socialist social services sector worker, I took some courses in American history. My prof, a hippy draft dodger from the Vietnam war, whose grim forever exile from the land of his birth (being a wanted man, a deserter, and a Ph.D) was only punctuated by vacations back to his Momma’s house for Thanksgiving, Christmas, weddings, and his special birthday; this guy told us about american politics. And he taught me about isolationism.
Now, Pat Buchanan has a great piece out about doing exactly such a thing * . And, for the benefit of any Jackals or Human Rights non-ability people mouthing the words as they read this, I, of course, distance myself from any opinions expressed by any sort of white person, as all white people are racists, rapists, and enablers of the lingering effects of colonialism in Africa. That being said, and my ass being covered, I draw your attention to the words of Pat.
Two things I add to this article.
Firstly, Pat is running on the assumption that a retreat from the imperial frontiers is a clean process. He describes the retreat from the East as a crisp exit of now unwanted soldiery from countries now adult and capable of self-defense, both with men and economy. I am not going to go anywhere near the seamy subjects of foreign, non-white people holding vengeful thoughts, territorial ambitions, or non-socialist views of economy. Only white people are bad, so any discussion about, say, Japanese ambitions in Taiwan or Korea or Manchuria, are best kept to the secure confines of your secret society, where no activist can inform on you for profit and promotion. Likewise speculation about Chinese designs on, say, African acreage, Siberia, or the rice of their ancient colony of Viet Nam. Speculation absent from the main stream media, of course. Speculation absent from the mind of the mindless non-ability lock-step and goosestep of diversity, uttered by those mis pronouncers of words who mean to spend my money on the workless, the shiftless, and the life-time liberal voter. Well, the thoughts are out there. I wish Pat, already damned as a white man, could damn himself a little more and dirty up his policy with these considerations.
Secondly, Pat is assuming that the retreat process will be voluntary. And it was a voluntary process, up to now. But now with an aggressive borrowing frenzy on the part of Employment Equity president Obama, the time is coming when foreign powers will be able to use their economic clout to dictate to the Yanks what to do. It maybe the Marines being pulled out of Japan, but they might be leaving their weapons behind. The Marines can come home in t-shirt and sandals … and Pat did not discuss that. I wish he had. Maybe all this American style democracy out there is a manifestation of American style tank divisions. Does the Prussian heart still beat in the Prussian breast? Is the tribe that produced Louis Faidherbe * still capable of producing same?
Who knows? And if you ask one of our perfumed activists, they neither know nor care. They think retreats are clean and voluntary. Maybe they are right, because speculation about them being left is not allowed. One nice thing about dirty and forced retreats, which you can read about in history, is the lynching of leaders whose lack of luck or ability lead to dirty and forced retreats. That too is absent from Pat’s article. One of the advantages of a lack of freedom of speech, I guess. You get to watch history repeat itself, rather than just read about it. Does the Tea Party movement have a tricolor to wave at the tumbrels rolling by?
