Il est temps de ha\u00efr les neocons<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Ici, nous d\u00e9veloppons quelques remarques et reprenions un texte de la vraiment-excellentissime Caitlin Johnstone<\/a> pour signaler combien une dynamique antiguerre est en train de se d\u00e9velopper aux USA. Ce ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne devrait \u00e9ventuellement s’aligner, compl\u00e9ter ou donner tout son sens \u00e0 la candidature aux pr\u00e9sidentielles USA-2020 de Tulsi Gabbard. Nous en parlions hier<\/a>, nous poursuivons et compl\u00e9tons aujourd’hui.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

(Ce sont en quelque sorte les \u00ab\u00a0enfants naturels\u00a0\u00bb et les soutiens bipartisans fondamentaux du Donald J. Trump de la campagne \u00e9lectorale USA-2016, qui semble d\u00e9sormais les exasp\u00e9rer dans les contradictions grossi\u00e8res et l’incapacit\u00e9 intellectuelle du pr\u00e9sident de comprendre ce qu’il a \u00e0 faire pour sauver une part essentielle du courant populiste qui a permis son \u00e9lection<\/strong>. Apr\u00e8s Tulsi Gabbard<\/a>, c’est Ann Coulter<\/a> qui, dans un autre domaine, prend brutalement ses distances d’avec Trump apr\u00e8s le march\u00e9 de dupes [\u00e0 ses d\u00e9pens] qu’il a pass\u00e9 avec les d\u00e9mocrates sur \u00ab\u00a0le Mur\u00a0\u00bb mexicain, en instituant un \u00e9tat d'\u00a0\u00bburgence nationale\u00a0\u00bb compl\u00e8tement cousu de fil blanc : « La seule urgence nationale est que notre pr\u00e9sident est un idiot <\/em>» [« The only national emergency is that our president is an idiot<\/em> »], tweete Coulter.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Johnstone signale, dans un nouveau texte du 16 f\u00e9vrier<\/a>, un tr\u00e8s important ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne en gestation qui pourrait bouleverser le paysage politique de \u00ab\u00a0D.C.-la-folle\u00a0\u00bb et qu’on peut r\u00e9sumer par une interpr\u00e9tation de son titre : \u00ab\u00a0la haine des neocons <\/em>est redevenue populaire et c’est une tr\u00e8s bonne chose\u00a0\u00bb <\/strong>(« Hating Neocons Is Becoming Mainstream Again, And It Is Excellent<\/em> »). Ce que Johnstone d\u00e9crit, c’est l’apparition publique et affich\u00e9e d’une convergence entre le progressisme de gauche antiguerre et le populisme de droite antiguerre justement sur cette question cruciale qui porte la candidature de Gabbard de l’opposition \u00e0 la politiqueSyst\u00e8me<\/a> antiguerre. Ce ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne, qui isole Trump de son \u00e9lectorat par rapport \u00e0 ses promesses de campagne USA-2016, devrait le rendre compl\u00e8tement obsol\u00e8te et lui faire perdre toute sa puissance de communication s’il ne comprend pas qu’il faut compl\u00e8tement renverser la vapeur, – et cela pouvant bien lui coûter sa r\u00e9\u00e9lection en 2020 <\/strong>tant il devient extr\u00eamement possible que le th\u00e8me de l’opposition \u00e0 la guerre devienne le centre du d\u00e9bat des pr\u00e9sidentielles USA-2020<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

L’aspect le plus int\u00e9ressant du texte de Johnstone, c’est sans aucun doute l’intervention d’un d\u00e9put\u00e9 d\u00e9mocrate de la Chambre des Repr\u00e9sentants commentant tr\u00e8s favorablement le livre<\/a> qui vient de paraître du pr\u00e9sentateur de Fox.News <\/em>Tucker Carlson, \u00ab\u00a0Why Are These Professional War Peddlers Still Around?<\/em>\u00ab\u00a0, une virulente attaque contre la position et la politique des neocons<\/em>, \u00e0 partir du statut et de l’influence de deux des plus c\u00e9l\u00e8bres d’entre eux, Max Boot et Bill Kristoll<\/strong>. Il s’agit du d\u00e9put\u00e9 de la Chambre des Repr\u00e9sentants d’origine indienne Ro Khanna<\/a> (son Wiki <\/em>beaucoup plus d\u00e9taill\u00e9 d’un point de vue politique dans sa version anglaise<\/a>), qui est un d\u00e9mocrate de l’aile gauche progressiste et antiguerre de ce parti.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Khanna \u00e9crit que Carlson « offre une critique d\u00e9vastatrice de l’interventionnisme et montre dans quelle mesure consid\u00e9rable l’establishment de politique \u00e9trang\u00e8re a tromp\u00e9 le peuple am\u00e9ricain. Il existe une coalition droite-gauche \u00e9mergente de bon sens commun en faveur d’une politique \u00e9trang\u00e8re de retenue<\/strong>. <\/em>» Effectivement, Khanna est d’une gauche progressiste affirm\u00e9e, Carlson d’une droite populiste non moins identifiable. Ce que juge Johnstone, c’est l’importance de cette association publique et non dissimul\u00e9e, et par cons\u00e9quent l’extension \u00e0 la communication courante (\u00ab\u00a0mainstream<\/em>\u00ab\u00a0) d’une critique radicale, d’origine consensuelle-dissidente gauche-droite, de la politique constamment usurp\u00e9e par les neocons <\/em>depuis un quart de si\u00e8cle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Une combinaison droite-gauche de type \u00ab\u00a0dissident\u00a0\u00bb dans l’antiguerre, qui fut en partie et bri\u00e8vement recherch\u00e9e et r\u00e9alis\u00e9e pendant deux ou trois ans autour de l’intervention en Irak de 2003, fut dissip\u00e9e et totalement perdue avec l’arriv\u00e9e d’Obama faisant basculer le camp d\u00e9mocrate dans la politiqueSyst\u00e8me<\/a> et le bellicisme tandis que l’essentiel de la droite y restait. Ce fut l’alliance<\/a> des neocons <\/em>et des R2P qui se renfor\u00e7a sur les enjeux soci\u00e9taux et l’antirussisme. L’arriv\u00e9e de Trump secoua cet arrangement comme l’on fait d’un prunier <\/strong>avant de laisser voir qu’il n’avait certainement pas assez de pens\u00e9e conceptuelle pour faire une v\u00e9ritable politique dans ce sens<\/strong> ; quoi qu’il en soit, Trump a accompli sa t\u00e2che historique de rupture <\/strong>avec divers d\u00e9g\u00e2ts et il n’est plus maintenant d’une tr\u00e8s grande utilit\u00e9 constructive mais certainement tr\u00e8s utile en entretenant un d\u00e9sordre emp\u00eachant un regroupement efficace des neocons <\/em>qui s’av\u00e8rent bien poussifs<\/a> pour lancer une op\u00e9ration contre le Venezuela<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Ce m\u00eame d\u00e9sordre, qui a compl\u00e8tement p\u00e9n\u00e9tr\u00e9 les rangs de \u00ab\u00a0D.C.-la-folle\u00a0\u00bb, ouvre effectivement une opportunit\u00e9 pour un renouveau de ce rassemblement \u00ab\u00a0dissident\u00a0\u00bb antiguerre<\/strong>, avec diverses personnalit\u00e9s atypiques qui peuvent continuer \u00e0 agir sans \u00eatre pulv\u00e9ris\u00e9es gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ce d\u00e9sordre. On pense \u00e0 Gabbard, bien entendu, en remarquant sa proximit\u00e9 sinon directement ethnique, du moins indirectement par la religion (et les rumeurs qui vont avec), avec le d\u00e9put\u00e9 Khanna ; et aussi, les liens de Khanna avec certains poids lourds de Silicon Valley<\/em>, notamment par le biais de cadres de haut niveau d’origine indienne \u00e9galement (tribut rendu aux capacit\u00e9s inh\u00e9rentes aux Indiens dans le domaine de l’informatique).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

D\u00e9sordre, plus que jamais comme on ne cesse de le voir, sinon chaos si de cela se d\u00e9gage une ligne qui prend peu \u00e0 peu forme dans un sens antiSyst\u00e8me fondamental… Il faut noter, pour comprendre la puissance de l’enjeu, la pr\u00e9sence de la haine <\/strong>comme aliment de la bataille. L’on hait les neocons <\/em>aux USA comme l’on hait Macron en France, notamment dans les rangs des Gilets-Jaunes<\/strong> : plut\u00f4t que le diagnostic d’une anomalie catastrophique du caract\u00e8re qui permet aux sujets de la haine d’\u00e9viter les questions g\u00eanantes<\/strong>, nous verrions dans cette haine qui n’a pas fait une seule victime en vingt ans ni supprim\u00e9 un seul privil\u00e8ge des personnes vis\u00e9es une tension n\u00e9cessaire pour affronter les serviteurs du Syst\u00e8me, – ceux-l\u00e0 immerg\u00e9s dans un tel ensemble institu\u00e9 par \u00ab\u00a0le Mal pur\u00a0\u00bb qu’est le Syst\u00e8me, qu’il faut effectivement cette tension-l\u00e0 pour les d\u00e9stabiliser<\/strong>. Lire sous la plume d’un Castaner la d\u00e9nonciation de \u00ab\u00a0la haine pure\u00a0\u00bb qu’est l’antis\u00e9mitisme selon une technique dialectique purement diabolique au regard de tout ce que cet employ\u00e9 du Syst\u00e8me repr\u00e9sente invite \u00e0 des interpr\u00e9tations hors du champ <\/strong>des jugements rationnels habituels et des repr\u00e9sentations convenues de la morale selon le sapiens <\/em>pour comprendre le climat de tension n\u00e9cessaire dans les affrontements actuels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

(Avant de poursuivre par le texte de Johnstone, on signalera un fait historique qui renforce la th\u00e8se expos\u00e9e, un vote de la Chambre des Repr\u00e9sentants que Johnstone n’a pu prendre en compte \u00e0 cause de la chronologie, et qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 marqu\u00e9 par un \u00e9v\u00e9nement tragique dans le chef du destin d’un parlementaire peu connu qui, depuis des ann\u00e9es, poursuit une bataille antiguerre, et qui patronnait ce voite. Il s’agit du r\u00e9publicain de la Californie Walter Jones, connu pour ses sentiments religieux [il \u00e9tait \u00e9vang\u00e9liste converti au catholicisme] qui ont constitu\u00e9 l’essentiel de l’argument de son combat contre la politique belliciste des neocons<\/em>. Georges D. O’Neill Jr. \u00e9crit notamment le 15 f\u00e9vrier 2019<\/a> dans The American Conservative<\/em> :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

« La Chambre des Repr\u00e9sentants des États-Unis a vot\u00e9 mercredi <\/em>[le 13 f\u00e9vrier 2019] la proposition de loi H.J.Res. 37 r\u00e9affirmant la loi sur les pouvoirs de d\u00e9clarer la guerre <\/em>[\u00ab\u00a0War Powers<\/em>\u00ab\u00a0] du Congr\u00e8s \u00e0 propos de la guerre en cours au Y\u00e9men. Il s’agit d’un acte important et historique pour le Congr\u00e8s \u00e0 de nombreux \u00e9gards. La r\u00e9solution a \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9e par 248 voix contre 177. Le vote d’un r\u00e9publicain favorable au projet \u00e9tait manifestement et tristement manquant: celui du regrett\u00e9 Repr\u00e9sentant de la Californie Walter Jones, d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 le 10 f\u00e9vrier.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

» Le projet de loi repr\u00e9sente la premi\u00e8re fois dans son histoire où la Chambre des Repr\u00e9sentants a vot\u00e9 pour invoquer la r\u00e9solution sur les pouvoirs de guerre afin d’obliger le pouvoir ex\u00e9cutif \u00e0 mettre fin aux engagements militaires non autoris\u00e9s dans une guerre \u00e9trang\u00e8re. Malheureusement, le repr\u00e9sentant Jones n’\u00e9tait pas l\u00e0 pour assister au point culminant de son travail le plus important \u00e0 la Chambre : ses efforts inlassables pour d\u00e9montrer l’impact catastrophique de la politique belliciste des USA<\/em>. »)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Hating Neocons Is Becoming Mainstream : It Is Excellent <\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

American Conservative<\/em> has published an article titled \u00ab\u00a0Why Are These Professional War Peddlers Still Around?<\/strong><\/a>\u00ab\u00a0, an excerpt from a book by Fox’s Tucker Carlson, which documents neoconservative thought leaders Max Boot and Bill Kristol’s consistent track record of supporting spectacularly awful US war policies. Carlson goes over the many, many acts of military interventionism which have been pushed for by these two legendary failmeisters, documents what they predicted would happen as the result of that interventionism (freedom, democracy and prosperity) and what actually ended up happening instead (needless death, terrorism and chaos), and marvels at how they both somehow remain in positions of high esteem with high-profile, high-paying jobs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The article was shared<\/strong><\/a> today on Twitter by Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna, who commented that Carlson \u00ab\u00a0offers a devastating critique [of] interventionism and shows how much of the foreign policy establishment has failed the American people. There is an emerging, left right coalition of common sense for a foreign policy of restraint.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Khanna has received a predictable amount of backlash<\/strong><\/a> from the left for this tweet, as does anyone who mentions the possibility of cross-ideological coalitions against US warmongering. The only cross-ideological convergence that many leftists find palatable in compensating for their relatively weak numbers is with the neoliberal, neoconservative corporate \u00ab\u00a0center\u00a0\u00bb, so-called only because the plutocratic class which benefits from the current Orwellian status quo has been able to buy up narrative control to force their agendas to become the mainstream consensus. The trouble with this, of course, is that that corporate CIA\/CNN \u00ab\u00a0center\u00a0\u00bb never opposes US warmongering in any meaningful way. The left (the real left, not the \u00ab\u00a0We call everyone we’re cluster bombing by their preferred gender pronouns\u00a0\u00bb MSNBC faux-left) opposes US warmongering, and in some cases so too does the populist right which has uplifted Tucker Carlson to such prominence.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

But the fact that you’ve got a sitting progressive congressman sharing the work of Fox’s number one pundit in enthusiastic agreement that neoconservatives are pure excrement says so much about how mainstream it has become to criticize them.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, neoconservatism has lived to promote the idea that the United States must use its status as an unrivaled superpower to secure a unipolar world order by any means necessary so as to allow freedom and democracy to flourish around the globe. It is an ideology that has been widely favored and financially backed by the military-industrial complex and its multinational allies, since all that freedom and democracy-spreading needs a whole lot of expensive bombs and missiles to carry out, and that support is what allowed it to rise to unprecedented prominence in the George W Bush administration. The warmongering and military expansionism which followed the 9\/11 attacks had all been planned in advance<\/strong><\/a> by this same ideology which had just recently filled the cabinet of America’s highest elected office.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

During this time the word \u00ab\u00a0neocon\u00a0\u00bb was a household term among those who despised the 43rd president, but after Dubya left office and was replaced by the hopey changeyness of his successor, people largely forgot about it outside of fringe groups. This was unfortunate, because the mind virus of neoconservatism never stopped spreading, and that toxic death cult is now so widespread that the small circle of influencers who have traditionally worn that label are now so dwarfed by the number of influencers who spread their ideology that the label is far too limited to accurately describe the dynamic. Neoconservatism never went away, it just quietly became the bipartisan mainstream consensus.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Luckily, criticism of neoconservatism is also becoming mainstream. You now see high-profile mainstream figures like Khanna<\/strong><\/a>, Carlson<\/strong><\/a>, Tulsi Gabbard<\/strong><\/a>, and Rand Paul<\/strong><\/a> routinely describing America’s devastating interventionist policies in terms of that sociopathic death cult’s toxic influence. Gabbard in particular has been re-popularizing that word with prolific usage<\/a> <\/strong>during her early 2020 presidential run, and correctly criticizing neoconservatism’s influence not just within prior administrations, but within the current one as well.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Harsh criticisms of neoconservatism have become so mainstream that its defenders like Boot<\/strong><\/a> and Center for American Progress think tankette Kelly Magsamen<\/strong><\/a> have been trying to resurrect the old argument<\/strong><\/a> that the label is antisemitic,which is absurd<\/strong><\/a> since plenty of neocons aren’t Jewish and many neocons label themselves as such. Russophobic McCarthyism is also being used to kill anti-neocon sentiment, naturally, with everyone from Tulsi Gabbard<\/a> <\/strong>to Bernie Sanders subreddits<\/a> <\/strong>now being smeared by the mainstream media as Russian plants simply for objecting to the neoconservative military interventionism of the unipolar empire.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And it is of course a good thing that hatred of neocons is re-entering mainstream consciousness. You can trace a straight line from the endless US military expansionism we’ve been seeing since 9\/11 back to the rise of neoconservatism, so paying attention to this dynamic is important for diagnosing and curing the disease. But it’s just the beginning, and it’s going to have to go a lot further before we get healthy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As with damn near everything else, partisan feuding masks the big picture on this issue in a way that causes people to miss the forest for the trees. Tucker Carlson and Rand Paul may indeed be useful in calling out the Never Trump neocons like Boot and Kristol, as well as opposing escalations against Russia and Syria, but good luck getting them to say anything about virulent PNAC neocons like Elliott Abrams and John Bolton or the longstanding neoconservative agendas they are advancing against Venezuela and Iran within the Trump administration. A few Democrats may oppose Trump’s warmongering against Venezuela, Iran, Yemen, and maybe even Syria, but good luck getting them to oppose sanctions and senseless cold war escalations which advance neocon agendas against Russia.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Most importantly, what will need to happen to truly strike the head of the beast is to see that the unipolar globalist imperialism of the neocons is already fully in the bloodstream. It isn’t just limited to the people who helped drive the agendas of Project for a New American Century in the wake of 9\/11 anymore, it’s being sold to everyone as the status quo worldview by MSNBC, Fox News, the BBC, the Guardian<\/em>, the Washington Post <\/em>and the New York Times<\/em>. The idea that it’s fine and normal for America and its tight network of allies to use any force necessary to ensure world dominance and anyone who says otherwise is a Russian agent has been hammered into mainstream consciousness over the last two years, and it’s going to take a lot of work to extract it. But it is only by rolling back the consent for unipolarist interventionism that we can ever hope to purge the toxic influence of neoconservatism and the warmongering that it has been shaped to facilitate.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
