Op-Ed: Continuity of agenda no matter who is elected
Brian Berletic
US plans for destroying nations like Russia, Iran, and China have been publicly published, talked about, and implemented for decades. Politicians do not make these policies. They simply sell it to the public or distract the public away from these policies. Multinational multi-billion dollar corporations don’t sit there every 4-8 years leaving their future/fate and US policy to “voters” and the clowns they pick for office. Instead they have created a political system to serve as an “explanation” for and/or a distraction away from their own continuity of agenda. Corporations fundamentally pursue the maximization of power and profit – and therefore their collective agenda driving US policy is to maximize US power and profit – hence endless exploitation at home and hegemonic war worldwide no matter who you vote for.
This should be beyond commonsense. But instead of understanding this as the fundamental nature of the US system and going on from there – people cannot help but to indulge in the daily political circus and attempt to cobble together fictional narratives to explain why “Obama” or “Trump” or “Biden” are doing the things they’re doing – essentially continuity of agenda – without actually acknowledging continuity of agenda itself and the real interests driving it. Instead, the “reason” Trump is continuing wars the corporations have planned and implemented for decades is because “he’s blackmailed” or “has bad advisors,” or “lost his temper” and not because the US political system is a deliberate system of control rather than a process of self-determination.
If you understood continuity of agenda and that unelected corporations drive it – BEFORE the 2024 elections you would have known these wars would continue and others would be started – just as they now have been – regardless of who won. These people ignoring continuity of agenda and doing “analysis-by-official narrative” or “analysis-by-political party” are constantly wrong precisely because of this. They are the same ones who said Trump would end all these wars in the first place (simply because he “said” so) or that Iran “won” and the US would leave West Asia (because the Western media suggested it), and are still looking for reasons to explain US policy in terms of “Trump,” his “emotions,” and the circus performed by him and those around him and even those “opposing” him. And because they are doing this – they will continue to be wrong. Truth is arrived at through first principles and scientific analysis and an understanding of material reality. Like a math problem, if you don’t get it right from the very start – everything you do onward will drift further and further from the right answer. Go back to the beginning and start over until it all actually adds up.
