The Next Endless War Has Already Begun Right Here at Home

The War on Terror goes domestic

Twenty years of circling the drain, the War on Terrorism still isn’t completely flushed. In fact, the pipe is clogged and is about to explode into a new endless war within our own country. 

The new enemy is you, a reader of alternative sources and dissident opinion. You will be identified as such by the government, their favored media outlets, and of course the “private companies” along with their NPC minions who might just be your neighbors.

How did we get here?

History didn’t begin on 9/11, but the War on Terrorism as we’ve come to know it essentially did. Never forget it was conservatives who chiefly supported this grand policy, giving us the Department of Homeland Security, the Patriot Act, and so much more to be unleashed not only on the world but the American people as well.

This garrison state we find ourselves in was inevitable, just as Congressman Dr. Ron Paul predicted (over and over again).

Now, many of those conservatives regret their support for George W. Bush and have since renounced neoconservatism and embraced America First. But are they the majority? Are they the ones involved with their local Republican Party?

My impression is that the same old conservatives of 20 years ago who have learned nothing are still predominant in politics.

The best evidence of this is not just GOP leaders putting Afghans ahead of Americans. Even the loud voices calling for Americans to be prioritized first are often too timid to push for moratoriums on refugee resettlement and immigration.

Meanwhile, there’s even less moral indignance for the treatment of Americans behind federal bars for their “roles” in the “insurrection” on January 6. Why aren’t more conservatives fighting to bring them home?

The 1/6ers went to the Capitol for a day. They didn’t go to Afghanistan to profit off nation-building and crony capitalist contracting. Who should get to go home first?

From solitary confinement to detention of non-violent offenders for months on end without even so much as a trial, the US treatment of its political prisoners certainly isn’t going to lend any credence to US diplomacy with the Taliban when it holds hostage any Americans still on their land.

The rule of law no longer applies in the US. It’s been replaced with anarcho-tyranny, the persecution of peaceful activity as real criminality is romanticized in the corporate press.

We’re reaching a point where simple discourse from an authentic right wing perspective will be outlawed. It will probably even be retroactively applied a few short years from now, so that you must pay a fine for having read this.

The only chance we have at warding off that fate is not letting the same old conservatives repeat the defeatist cycle against the leftist oligarchy. A new and more cunning right wing must emerge to make America first again and keep it that way.
