Powerful Women
Since the advent of modern women's liberation in the 1960s and 1970s, the period of so-called First Wave feminism, everything in American society has gotten worse. Middle brows are furrowing already as the phrase "correlation does not... uh... causation..." begins to form on chapped lips.
If women in leadership positions were supposed to lead to a new era of kinder, gentler politics and a more orderly world as promised in 'Murikun media, it has not panned out. We were supposed get good affordable health care and laws which favored the creation and maintenance of happier families. Instead, we got shattered families, a highly exploitative capitalist system that is unable to produce more workers, child genital mutilation on a whole new level and a medical industrial complex that actively destroys children, the elderly and the poor – the groups who were supposed to fare better under estrogenated leadership. Sexual trafficking in children and rape are now no longer even worried about. It's hard to imagine current levels of human slavery being able to exist in 1950s America, the dark days before the coming of modern feminism.
This week, Victoria Nudelman (aka, Nuland) announced her resignation as Under Secretary of State. The architect of much death and destruction in Ukraine, she leaves office a failure both morally and professionally. For her efforts, she will go on speaking tours and write a memoir that no one will read but will be scarfed up by "the market." In other words, for her abysmal life as a garbage human, she will be richly rewarded and will become, like Kissinger, an elder statesman who is invited as a talking head on cable tv. In America, serial killers in public office can only fail up.
Over 500,000 dead Ukrainian men and who knows how many Russian soldiers. Millions displaced from their homes and an entire country that will become an even sadder version of itself post-war. For what end? Ukraine can never be rebuilt. The West is already facing economic collapse and the trillions needed to rebuild a country that lost its industrial region to the Russians will just remain an open sore on the planet.
I wrote emails telling friends and family in 2016 that Vickie's only purpose was to bring this country into a world war with Russia. Thankfully, Trump removed her from office before assuming the presidency only to end up appointing John Bolton to a senior White House position. Bolton and Nudelman are both accomplished war pigs but I would say, of the two, Vickie has been the most destructive as she has labored for years to get the conflict started with Russia. Very hands on her.
We don't know Vickie's motives for wanting to dismantle Russia. Her Wiki says she is a Jewess whose family immigrated from Russia, so maybe she was raised listening to terrible stories of the Czar and endless pogroms. Maybe this led to her nursing a psychotic grudge against Russians. There is no sign of intelligence among the administrations that allowed her to work at any level on policy. Her efforts have done nothing besides cause incredible amounts of human suffering while dragging the planet to the precipice of nuclear destruction. I asked my senator in a letter what he planned to do when Ukraine finally capitulates to Russia. No response yet.
Turning now to Nimarata Randhawa (aka Nikki Haley), we have another bloodthirsty femme fatale.
“You can’t have someone [Trump] who’s trying to buddy up with dictators that want to kill us. Instead, you have to let them know what we expect of them,” Haley told CBS News on Sunday.
Haley said that while she was at the UN she had to “sit [Trump] down and tell him to stop his bromance with Putin”. She also criticised Trump for congratulating Chinese President Xi Jinping on his handling of the Covid-19 crisis.
Putin and Xi do not want "to kill us."
Nimarata and her husband have financial investments in the defense industry (sic) so it makes sense to sell this to 'Murikuns since there is no end to their tolerance for war, war profiteering, death and destruction. These are 'Murikun values and have been since the founding although Southerners, traditionally the most eager beaver to sign up for American military adventures abroad, were not interested in what Nimarata is selling during the 2024 primaries. She even lost her home state of South Carolina.
Her fellow Carolinian and war pig Lindsey Graham was booed off the stage when presented by Trump to his own constituents. One might think there's something in the public water that causes South Carolinians to crave war and human blood. If so, public officials will need to up the dosages because the thirst is wearing off.
Graham will likely win re-election again in 2027. Trump being Trump is showing that he learned absolutely nothing from his first term and is still coseying up to people who are bad for the entire planet. In his first term, he appointed Nimarata to be U.N. ambassador and I'm sure in his dotage he will find something for her in a second administration. It was only the force of online pressure from his base that led to her name being removed from the list of VP candidates.
Last but not least is Hillary Clinton, the Dean of the War Pig College. Lady Margaret Thatcher preceded her in militarism, but Hillary has far exceeded Maggie. Maggie was all theory, Hillary is practice.
During her tenure as a Senator, she was very big on war and this prepared for her work as Secretary of State, where she brought human slave markets to Libya. Like Nudelman, Hillary showed that American women were just as capable of causing untold misery on poor brown people as any white male. She sputtered in anger over Tucker Carlson's interview of Putin. The last thing anyone like Hillary wants is her countrymen listening to the Russian point of view.
Of course, women are not really responsible for their actions so none of them will ever answer for anything.
Democracy is just so, so awful.
UPDATE: Here's AOC dodging activists who want her to say on camera that the brown women, children and elderly being wholesale slaughtered in Gaza are the victims of genocide. Yeah, mmm, she cannot do it. See, women are very compassionate and civilizing, a real boon in politics, powerful forces for the cause of peace and prosperity. The avalanche of bullshit rhetoric about women in power being so great for the advancement of the human race...
AOC represents the American woman, the kind who went all-in on abortion and abortion culture. Hook up sex, fatherless homes, abortuaries, the complete erosion of all friendliness and sociability. She's asked to do the one thing that any decent person would do if prompted to in public – say that the people of Gaza are being genocided by Israel and America. Three minutes on camera in public and a statement to disavow followed up with a promise to do whatever she can to stop the funding.
Nope. Can't do it.
Grrrrl power. MRWAAAAR!
Honorable Mentions (aka, Rogues Gallery):
Which brings us to Rachel Maddow, probably the best paid liar on network news and a purveyor of carefully crafted corporate capitalist agitprop. At 100,000 USD per day, her backers have her constantly agitating for death, whether through war or vaccines.
Madeleine Albright did not dispute the 500,000 dead Iraqi number given by Leslie Stahl, who in turn got it from a dubious U.N. report. Still, Maddie didn't push back on the provenance of the figure, she just said "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price—we think the price is worth it." Dat's cold!
One of the themes we see with Powerful Women is that they like picking on poor brown people. In AOC's case, she will use them as a prop for a photo and then never defend them when they are being massacred.
