23 avril 2010<\/a> d\u00e9crit dans un long texte tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressant la folle col\u00e8re, avec le qualificatif plac\u00e9 o\u00f9 il faut, qui embrase rapidement l’Am\u00e9rique. Le caract\u00e8re le plus remarquable de ce texte, dans l’impression g\u00e9n\u00e9rale qu’il nous laisse, est que cette col\u00e8re a de moins en moins \u00e0 voir avec des faits concrets (crise \u00e9conomique, id\u00e9ologie, etc.) et prend de plus en plus l’allure d’une d\u00e9rive psychologique \u00e0 la fois insaisissable et collective. Cela se d\u00e9veloppe notamment \u00e0 l’ombre du quinzi\u00e8me anniversaire (19 avril 1995) de l’attentat d’Oklahoma City.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tParlant d’Obama, avec toutes les caract\u00e8res tr\u00e8s sp\u00e9cifiques qu’on lui conna\u00eet, y compris sa qualit\u00e9 d’Africain-Am\u00e9ricain, Bill Clinton, mis en \u00e9vidence ces derniers jours par plusieurs discours de comm\u00e9moration de l’attentat qui a marqu\u00e9 sa pr\u00e9sidence, a, pour une fois sans aucun doute, une remarque int\u00e9ressante qu’on retrouve dans le corps des citations ci-dessous : \u00abIt’s like<\/em> [Obama] symbolises the loss of control, of predictability, of certainty, of clarity that a lot of people need for their psychic well-being. I worry about it.<\/em>\u00bb La remarque est nettement de l’ordre de la psychologie collective et rend bien compte du climat qui s’installe et s’\u00e9tend aux USA.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tQuelques extraits de ce tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressant reportage<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00abParanoia abounds, as if the election of Barack Obama 18 months ago signalled the end of American liberty. And the coalescing of a wide range of issues not least economic torpor and its inherent social upheaval is playing into the hands of extremists whose anti-government rhetoric is beginning to echo that which pervaded the lead-up to the bombing of the federal government offices in Oklahoma City in 1995.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbWe are in the midst of one of the most significant right-wing populist rebellions in United States history, Chip Berlet, of the progressive think tank Political Research Associates, has observed. We see around us a series of overlapping social and political movements populated by people [who are] angry, resentful, and full of anxiety. They are raging against the machinery of the federal bureaucracy and liberal government programs and policies including healthcare, reform of immigration and labour laws, abortion and gay marriage.<\/em> []<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbTheir re-emergence prompted Bill Clinton, on the eve of this week’s 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma bombing, to draw parallels with the agitation in the early days of his administration.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThen, it was mostly the extremist voices of talkback radio: now, it’s the echo chamber that is the internet, Clinton said, expressing concern for the safety of Barack Obama amid the current hostility. An African-American president whose father was from Kenya, whose mother’s second husband was a Muslim as President Obama is different and symbolises the increasing diversity of America, Clinton said in an interview on CNN. It’s like he symbolises the loss of control, of predictability, of certainty, of clarity that a lot of people need for their psychic well-being. I worry about it.<\/em> []<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbMark Potok, who edits Intelligence Report, a publication of the Southern Poverty Law Centre, notes that a few days after the Oklahoma attack a USA Today poll showed 39 per cent of respondents agreeing with the proposition that the US government was so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbA recent CNN\/Opinion Research Corporation poll asked the same question and found 56 per cent of Americans now agreed, a simply astonishing measure of how angry and suspicious we have become, even when compared with the period of the mass murder in Oklahoma, said Potok. The fury is building again. This time over bailouts of banks and the auto industry, health insurance, the economy, government spending and the country’s changing demographics.<\/em> []<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe question is not ideology, the Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, told Fox News this week. We’ve always had groups on all sides that have held beliefs that are very strong and express them very vociferously.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbNapolitano said she agreed with an assessment from her department last year that concluded that the threat posed by \u00a0\u00bblone wolves and small terror cells\u00a0\u00bb was more pronounced than in past years. I wish it were possible to stand here and say that threats from terrorism and violent extremism have gone away since [Oklahoma]. We know that’s not the case.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbIn a climate of such angst, strange things continue to emerge and paranoia gives rise to conspiracy theories. To wit: Georgia’s state legislature is on the verge of passing a Republican-sponsored law making it illegal to implant a chip, sensor, transmitter or tracking device into a person against his or her will.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbMicrochip laws already exist in California, North Dakota and Wisconsin. Virginia wants one, too. Despite there being no evidence of such practice by government departments, Georgia’s Republican representative Ed Setzler justified the bill: ‘This is proactive, he explained.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe sponsor of similar Virginian legislation, Mark Cole, a Republican, said he feared chips could someday be used as the mark of the beast described in the Bible’s Book of Revelation<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
