Liberal plutocrats preparing ground to wipe out progressives and directly take over the Democratic party in US
Through
his own humorous style, comedian Lee Camp pointed
out something quite serious. As he explained,
Facebook's founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, fulfilled all the
conditions necessary to run for president of the United States.
One key
condition is certain and obvious: tons of money.
Another
one, is to pretend to be religious. And this condition is, of course,
particularly important in the America of Donald Trump. Indeed, as
Camp says, the former Atheist Mark Zuckerberg has suddenly found
religion.
And the
most recent fulfilled condition by Facebook's boss, was to secure the
alliance with the US deep state.
Indeed,
on October 11, Facebook announced the removal of 559 pages and 251
accounts from its service, accusing the account holders of “spam
and coordinated inauthentic behavior.” The primary thread
connecting victims of the purge seems to be that they are critics
and/or opponents of the American political “mainstream” or
“establishment.”
Also, as
Ben Norton of the Real News points out, Facebook has done this multiple times now. We’ve
seen numerous pages that have been removed. We’ve also seen the
scare of so-called fake news. And what’s troubling about this is
that some of the partners Facebook has in its crackdown on so-called
fake news, vetting pages like these that have been removed, one of
the partners is the Atlantic Council. The Atlantic Council
is essentially a kind of unofficial NATO, funded by the United States
government and the European Union along with NATO. Among the other
fact-checkers that have partnered with Facebook to screen so-called
fake news is the Weekly Standard. The Weekly Standard
is a neo-conservative website that itself published false information
in the lead-up to the Iraq war, which it strongly supported.
And what
about Jeff Bezos? He invested on the mainstream media propaganda
power by buying
"one of the leading daily American newspapers, along with The
New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal.
The Post has distinguished itself through its political reporting on
the workings of the White House, Congress, and other aspects of the
U.S. government." Quite influential on the US political
developments.
Right
after this key move, Alternet immediately identified
the conflicts of interest since the Washington Post would never
reveal the fact that Bezos signed a $600 million contract with the
CIA.
It seems
that another multi-billionaire rushed to proceed in the necessary
actions that could build a bridge towards the US presidency.
And
recently, Jeff Bezos attempted to fix his image by raising minimum
wage to $15 an hour for Amazon workers. The move came out from the
pressure exercised by Bernie Sanders and the progressive movement.
Yet, it seems to be another neoliberal-style trick.
All
these indications point to the fact that the liberal plutocracy is
determined to 'fire' its faithful political puppets in the Democratic
party, who are rapidly losing popularity and have become
'inefficient' to serve its interests.
Besides,
the progressive movement has already marked some significant
victories in the ideological battlefield. For example, big money and
wealthy donors become more and more repulsive in the eyes of
progressive voters and younger generations. And this has become clear
in practice, with the unprecedented victory of Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez and other progressives who beat establishment Democrats
without the help of the big money.
As the
liberal plutocrats understand that it is now pointless to spend money for
buying politicians, they will attempt to take over the Democratic
party by themselves. Otherwise, the party will fall in the hands of
the progressives and they will be left without political power. The
liberal plutocrats will use the power of the corporate media to sell
themselves as the sole antidote to Donald Trump.
It is
highly unlikely to see this in the 2020 presidential election. The
liberal plutocrats probably prepare the ground to take over the
Democratic party in 2024. We may see Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos
fighting in the Democratic primaries and then, fighting for the
presidency against someone from the Trump 'school', like Nikki
Haley.
The
anti-globalist part of the big capital that supported Trump will
prefer this development instead of an uncontrollable progressive
movement that will hold political power. Then, plutocrats of all
sides will do what the big capital always does. They will clear up
things between them. In one thing they are unquestionably united:
crushing the resistance of the ordinary people from below.
