Yesterday Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post hosted, as did most mainstream media, the video below:
President Trump has shared an AI-generated video depicting his resort-like vision for the future of Gaza — featuring a gigantic golden statue of the president as well as images of him lounging topless poolside with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The 30-second clip, shared on Truth Social late Tuesday, opens by showing a war-torn Gaza following 15 months of Israel’s war against Hamas terrorists — before asking, “What next?” in red, white and blue text. Scenes of destruction suddenly morph into a sunny beach resort destination, as a lively dance track with the lyrics “Donald Trump will set you free, bringing the life for all to see, no more tunnels, no more fear, Trump Gaza is finally here” starts to play.
True to form, liberal media like The Guardian… BBC … Politico … CNN – all cravenly muted in response to eighteen months of genocide – cover the story as yet more evidence of Trump (and Netanyahu) as unhinged and aberrant.
Unlike the good guys we used to have.
I take issue with such blanket characterisation of a country with thirty-seven million in poverty. But its main point cannot be stated too often, with the proviso that it applies equally to liberalism across the West at large .
Posting today – The empire at its most honest – Caitlin Johnstone begs to differ.
This video is simultaneously the most American thing that has ever happened and the most Israeli thing that has ever happened. Fake. Gaudy. Sociopathic. Genocidal. Emblematic of all the ugliest values that both dystopian civilizations have come to embody.
They used the most artless art medium in existence to digitally dance on the graves of mountains of dead civilians. The most powerful government on earth celebrated the idea of Trump and Netanyahu presiding over orgiastic parties for the obscenely wealthy on a land purged of its indigenous inhabitants following a year and a half of brutal slaughter. Twerking to shitty AI-generated techno music surrounded by golden Trump statues and hundred dollar bills, because you are so happy that you finally found a Final Solution to the Palestinian Problem.
It doesn’t get any more American than this, and it doesn’t get any more Israeli. This soulless, artless, conscienceless expression of egotistic masturbation lubricated with the blood of dead children is the empire at its most honest. This is the very best this globe-dominating power structure has to offer our world.
This entire civilization is diseased. Not just the United States and Israel but every nation on earth that is subject to the metastases of their cancerous influence. They’re making us all dumber, sicker, nastier, crueller. Less creative. Less artful. Less caring. Less insightful. They are poisoning our minds and turning our hearts into shit.
