An old
story
by
system failure
During his
recent interview to Bill Maher, Bernie Sanders tried to defend hard
the socialist policies that he represents. It is remarkable that the
brainwash of the American people by this brutal system still has
significant power, through the demonization of these socialist
policies which benefit them! Many people still accept the neoliberal
catastrophe as the only 'realistic' option for a stable society. The
ghost of McCarthyism still stands strong above the American society.
However, it
is certain that people start to change, and the best proof in Sanders
case is that the social media declared him winner in the recent
Democratic debate, instead of the corporate media who did everything
to present Hillary Clinton as the winner.
This
"demonization process" by the banking-corporate
establishment is not a new tactic. In fact, it has been applied again
back in early thirties, right after the burst of the Great
Depression. Coincidence?
Remember,
Franklin Roosevelt faced negative criticism from across the political
spectrum. The American economic elite criticized him because it
didn't want to pay extra taxes for the "New Deal"
implementation.
Even the
U.S. Supreme Court moved against him, considering that many
legislative settings of the "New Deal" were
unconstitutional. Propaganda had been unleashed by the economic
elite, in an attempt to baptize the policies of "New Deal"
as Socialist or even Communist, something which happens today in
America, but in Greece as well, and, the entire Western world.
A quote from
a Roosevelt's speech is characteristic: “A few timid people, who
fear progress, will try to give you new and strange names for what we
are doing. Sometimes they will call it 'Fascism,' sometimes
'Communism,' sometimes 'Regimentation,' sometimes 'Socialism.' But,
in so doing, they are trying to make very complex and theoretical
something that is really very simple and very practical.”
The
demonization propaganda is launched every time that a "radical"
comes to disturb the plans of the ruling elite. Tsipras in Greece has
been defeated for now, but the ruling class couldn't avoid the rise
of Corbyn in UK, Iglesias in Spain and Sanders in US.
Think about
it. These guys are called "radicals" by the dominant system
mechanisms, just because they want to defend whatever can be saved
from the Tsunami of the neoliberal barbarism. They are not even close
to the real Left radicalism.
The banking
mafia will fight Sanders fiercely. Let's not forget that “On
December 1 [2010], the Fed was forced to release details of 21,000
funding transactions it made during the financial crisis, naming
names and dollar amounts. Disclosure was due to a provision sparked
by Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. The voluminous data dump from
the notoriously secret Fed shows just how deeply the Federal Reserve
stepped into the shoes of Wall Street and, as the crisis grew and the
normal channels of lending froze, the Fed effectively replaced Wall
Street and money centers banks in terms of financing.”

Will Sanders
manage to become the new Roosevelt, bringing another "new deal",
with the power of the American people?
