When Will Come an ‘American Spring’?

Richard Haass, president of the North American Council on Foreign Relations has advised against isolationism in foreign politics, which is gaining strength in Donald Trump’s campaign. According to Haass, the consequences of a United States withdrawal from the world would be dire. However, isn’t the present situation already dire? Thanks to American foreign policy we have two failed states in Afghanistan and Iraq, with almost daily terrorist attacks that have cost thousands of lives and wars that have wiped out an astronomic number of innocents.

Both settings have resulted in the birth of the notorious “Islamic State,” which has brought instability and war to the borders of Europe, in addition to starting a refugee crisis of millions uprooting themselves en masse and heading West. In northern Africa we have the chaos of Libya, the explosive situation in Egypt and the inferno of Syria, not to mention the little discussed topic of Yemen.

Is it possible to credit someone for so much disaster? Only the fools that fill newsrooms of Western newspapers and the “anti-Yankee” left have reached the necessary level of stupidity to not know how to draw the correct conclusions from this endless string of disasters.

Journalists have spurred on all of this as if it were the inevitable consequences of a just policy, instead of exactly the opposite. The idiots of the left prefer to anesthetize the world with topics like “racism” and “xenophobia” instead of denouncing those who start the wars that have brought ruin and desolation to hundreds of millions of people.

For these reasons, the ideas of Richard Haass are no more than the nonsense of an overrated and evil celebrity: It’s not “isolationists” who have bogged down the U.S. and the entire West in a mountain of bloody and unnecessary wars, but the cliques of the Council on Foreign Relations, the new American left and neoconservatives. The former – the “isolationists” – haven’t even come close to being in power; it’s the latter who have occupied power the whole time and are the responsible ones for what is happening today.

The Emergence of the Outsider

The case of Richard Haass brings to light a very significant fact of our time: When an outsider emerges – and 2016 is becoming the year of the outsiders – all enemies unite. In the case of the U.S. presidential election in November, almost the entirety of the press, in addition to the Republican party – as well as everyone else, surprisingly – have transmitted one united message: “Trump is unacceptable.” To this message they’ve added another: “It doesn’t matter if he’s been elected by the people or not.”

These elites have demonstrated their willingness to support a compulsive and ultra-corrupt liar like Hilary Clinton, who is responsible for a good part of the spilled blood in the endless wars that we’ve mentioned, and whose greed for money is a testament to her work in the Clinton Foundation. All of this is an example of how the elites combat the working class, which doesn’t want uncontrolled immigration, an economy at the service of big corporations, nor an endless war started by the delusions of four arrogant ideologues.

If one day all of this becomes evident, the curtain will be up on the plot to convince the rest of the world that Democratic rhetoric is something more than just a strategy to allow a mere few to govern over the just aspirations of everyone else. When will come an American Spring?
