After reading this post I upgraded my subscription to Founding; Street is among the handful of journalists left in America with incorruptible integrity who really see the fascist writing on the wall. Included in this group is the incomparable Chris Hedges, indispensable Ralph Nader, righteous Dwayne Booth (Mr. Fish), forthright Robert Scheer and the brilliant community of great writers at Scheerpost.com. The Paul Street Report is strong medicine and just the prescription we need to recover from the Trump enabled fascist assault on America and revitalize our imperiled Republic.

You're right! It's open fascist theater. One of the themes (like chords struck repeatedly on a piano in a music piece) is "desecration". Desecration theater.

When Agent Orange was prez, he told his minions to start desecrating agencies slated for expiry (in his mind): EPA, Healthcare, post office, windmills, green tech solar etc..... remember all the "idiot" shenanigans coming from those agencies, on those topics: Even his walter reed spook CIA surgeon Ronnie Jackson (who is now rewarded with a congress seat(!)) played along in desecration theater: "fuhrer has 70 cholesterol" "resting heart rate of 60" etc etc. obvious crap.....it desecrates the entire concept of health-care, in the public mind! "Take bleach to clean your innards". CRAP. EPA spent million dollars on a new office desk only to throw that out too. CRAP. Post office sorting machines CRAP. Voting CRAP. on and on.

It's NOT foolery. It's TO PURPOSE. It has been verrrrry effective. The US MSM make Goebbels look like an elementary school debate opponent. Though they pretend to be embarrassed at the low standing of elected representatives, the low standing of congress, etc. it has all been a great success.

The overall effect of desecration of society wrought by the elite shysters is the wrecking of the "public commons". Like Margaret Thatcher's quote: "there is no society" https://newlearningonline.com/new-learning/chapter-4/neoliberalism-more-recent-times/margaret-thatcher-theres-no-such-thing-as-society

The zeitgeist has been thoroughly polluted. "the shared public mind space" is GONE. desecrated. Every Murican, on the left, on the right, all agree: "the whole lot [other than themselves] are idiots". This has been a tremendous desecration of the commons...the society.

And look what's going on: their satanic "works" have not stopped at the top. their agenda rolls on apace. they started multiple wars, a pandemic, an inflation. All while the sheep down below have their vision curtailed. We live now in the THE WORST NEWS BLACKOUT KNOWN to MURICAS HISTORY. And that's saying a lot given that the rot has been a long time coming! No information gets through. Desecration theater.

I don't see Murica coming out of this yet.

I think I may have inadvertently cancelled open comments. Hope I have corrected it. Not sure.
