On connaît la r\u00e9putation de The Donald<\/em> Trump, ses \u00e9carts divers, ses provocations, etc. On connaît la fureur haineuse des employ\u00e9s-Syst\u00e8me, surtout de la presse-Syst\u00e8me, contre ce The Donald<\/em>, – pas tellement pour ce qu’il dit mais parce qu’il le dit en m\u00eame temps qu’il conchie l’establishment<\/em> (le Syst\u00e8me), et qu’il le(s) conchie explicitement. C’est-\u00e0-dire qu’il expose essentiellement le p\u00e9ch\u00e9 majeur de s’\u00e9tiqueter lui-m\u00eame \u00ab\u00a0populiste\u00a0\u00bb, ce qui est s’attaquer \u00e0 la ligne de d\u00e9fense directe du Syst\u00e8me qu’est le processus d\u00e9mocratique totalement corrompu de nos d\u00e9mocraties flamboyantes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n … Il y a eu donc une lev\u00e9e de boucliers incroyablement vertueux (les boucliers) suite aux d\u00e9clarations de Trump annon\u00e7ant qu’il interdirait au moins temporairement l’acc\u00e8s du territoire US aux musulmans s’il \u00e9tait \u00e9lu, cela dans le cadre de l’hyst\u00e9rie, ou de la d\u00e9magogie hyst\u00e9rique, antimusulmane, que l’activit\u00e9 de Daesh<\/em> a d\u00e9clench\u00e9e. Aussit\u00f4t, The Donald<\/em> a \u00e9t\u00e9 condamn\u00e9, par Obama, par la candidate hyper-vertueuse des d\u00e9mocrates, Hillary, par ses compagnons r\u00e9publicains qui pr\u00e9tendent \u00e0 la nomination du parti, Jeb Bush en t\u00eate qui paraît encore plus conforme, m\u00e9diocre, sans saveur que son fr\u00e8re GW, par diverses autorit\u00e9s-Syst\u00e8me, etc. (Certes, c’est ce que cherche The Donald<\/em> mais tous esp\u00e8rent fi\u00e9vreusement que, cette fois, c’est \u00ab\u00a0le coup de trop\u00a0\u00bb et qu’ils pourront se d\u00e9barrasser de lui \u00e0 cette occasion.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Eh bien, Robert Parry n’est pas d’accord<\/a>, et il le dit le 8 d\u00e9cembre sur son site ConsortiumNews<\/em>. Pour lui, ce qu’a dit le s\u00e9nateur Cruz, concurrent r\u00e9publicain de Trump, est beaucoup plus condamnable que ce qu’a propos\u00e9 Trump. Cruz a sugg\u00e9r\u00e9 d’employer l’arme nucl\u00e9aire contre les r\u00e9gions occup\u00e9es par Daesh<\/em>, soit quasiment la Syrie et l’Irak si l’on tient compte de l’extension des d\u00e9g\u00e2ts du feu nucl\u00e9aire : cela devrait \u00eatre dans son programme s’il est \u00e9lu pr\u00e9sident. Personne, d\u00e9nonce Parry, ne s’est attard\u00e9 \u00e0 cette suggestion extraordinaire, et essentiellement, selon nous, parce que Cruz n’est pas anti-establishment<\/em> comme l’est Trump. De toutes les fa\u00e7ons, les esprits-Syst\u00e8me jugent en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral beaucoup plus insupportable la perspective d’une transgression de la \u00ab\u00a0valeur\u00a0\u00bb-Syst\u00e8me de la non-discrimination \u00e0 la perspective de l’emploi de l’arme nucl\u00e9aire ; tout de m\u00eame, il faut raison-morale garder. (Voir ausi le commentaire de Justin Raimondo<\/a> de ce 9 d\u00e9cembre d\u00e9fendant Donald Trump et d\u00e9non\u00e7ant ses d\u00e9nonciateurs.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n « As Republican presidential candidates lined up to one-up each other about how they would fight Islamic terrorism, many mainstream pundits questioned the hysteria and took particular aim at billionaire Donald Trump for seeking a moratorium on admitting Muslims to the United States, but Trump’s proposal was far from the most outrageous<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n » Getting much less attention was a statement by Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who is considered by many a more likely GOP nominee than Trump. Cruz suggested that the United States should nuke the territory in Iraq and Syria controlled by Islamic State militants. \u00ab\u00a0I don’t know if sand can glow in the dark, but we’re going to find out,\u00a0\u00bb Cruz told<\/a> a Tea Party rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. In reference to Cruz’s comment, a New York Times editorial<\/a> added, \u00ab\u00a0whatever that means.\u00a0\u00bb But the phrase \u00ab\u00a0glow in the dark\u00a0\u00bb popularly refers to the aftermath of a nuclear bomb detonation. In other words, Cruz was making it clear to his audience that he would be prepared to drop a nuclear bomb on Islamic State targets. While the bombastic senator from Texas was probably engaging in hyperbole – as he also vowed to \u00ab\u00a0carpet bomb them into oblivion\u00a0\u00bb – the notion of a major candidate for President cavalierly suggesting a nuclear strike would normally be viewed as disqualifying, except perhaps in this election cycle.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n » While Cruz drew little attention for his \u00ab\u00a0glow in the dark\u00a0\u00bb remark, Trump came under intense criticism for his proposal to block the admission of Muslims into the United States until the nation’s leaders can \u00ab\u00a0figure out what is going on\u00a0\u00bb in the aftermath of the Dec. 2 terror attack by a Muslim husband-and-wife team in San Bernardino, California. Across mainstream politics and media, Trump’s idea was decried<\/a> as both \u00ab\u00a0unprecedented\u00a0\u00bb from a top candidate for President and a likely violation of the U.S. Constitution which respects freedom of religion and requires equal protection under the law.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n » Other Republican candidates, even the more \u00ab\u00a0moderate\u00a0\u00bb ones, also talked tough about Muslims in what shaped up as a heated competition to outdo one another in appealing to the angry and frightened right-wing \u00ab\u00a0base\u00a0\u00bb of the GOP. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush argued<\/a> that the threat from Muslims was unique: \u00ab\u00a0The idea that somehow there are radical elements in every religion is ridiculous. There are no radical Christians that are organizing to destroy Western civilization. There are no radical Buddhists that are doing this. This is radical Islamic terrorism.\u00a0\u00bb <\/em>»<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
