Billy Bob’s Dispatches: “How do they get out of this”???

"How do they get out of this"??? This is the million dollar question that will be answered within the next five years.

Unfortunately, the ruling class has created a status quo which is incapable of rational behavior. The diverse centers of power within the ruling establishment (including Democrats, Republicans, Zionists, and big business (Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Oil, the Weapons manufacturers)) make rational consensus impossible. The dearth of any sensible ideology and the elevation of the asinine idea of American exceptionalism to the status of holy and unquestioned truth, underscores the impossible challenges facing the US empire.

The anarchy of the market and the promotion of the selfish pursuit of individual interests (within a system completely dominated and controlled by the wealthy elite) results in a rejection of and abhorrence to the necessary truth-telling, planning, consensus building, and unity that is required in order to successfully deal with the challenges of a changing world. The meaningless, empty, and poll tested mantra that "we are the best" is today, the only talking point and idea which unites the ruling class and which links them with the aspirations of the working class.

But what happens when it turns out that this is simply not true? What will happen to a society that has lied to itself for 75 years (or much longer depending on where we place the marker) and whose very survival depends on being honest about this fact and changing course?

In a sane society, this would be the topic of discussion that every family would be having, around the table, during Thanksgiving dinner. Unfortunately, ours is not a sane society.
