In his cameo appearance before the US Congress, the Z-Man deftly drew on all the cliches of American life in the shallow end:
Volodymyr Zelensky vaporized about democracy [“it made us dumb“], our values [“in the classical conservative and libertarian traditions, values are private things, to be left to civil society—the individual, family and church—to practice and police“], and MLK (Martin Luther King), offering his incoherent, bizarre twist on the “I have a dream” U.S. ubiquity:
“I have a dream. I have a need. I need to protect our skies. I need your help, which means the same you feel when you hear the words I have a dream.”
Translated: When the Z-Man tells you he needs your help, you should feel the same as when you hear MLK’s “I have a dream.” Or, something.
I have a dream. I have a need, too, Mr. Z. Some quid pro quo, perhaps? The following is as true as when I wrote it in 2011, during the Egyptian Lotus Revolution. This from “Frankly, My Dear Egyptians …“:
‘I know nothing so miserable as a democracy without liberty,’ wrote Alexis de Tocqueville in the mid-1800s. He speaks for me. I find myself unable to get lathered-up about democracy for others, while I live in the democratic despotism that contemporary America has become. …
…More often than not, Americans who yearn for the freedoms their forbears bequeathed to them are labeled demented and dangerous. I’ve yet to hear liberty deprived peoples the world over stand-up for the tea-party patriots. When they do — I’ll gladly galvanize on their behalf.
Zelensky is America’s perfect, prototype Jacobin puppet.
Put it this way, if the American people (an inchoate meaningless phrase I countenance here for the sake of argument) were threatened by an invasion—American leaders would hold court from their safe rooms and underground luxury bunkers and give cheery addresses (in syntax as fractured and similarly studded with non sequiturs), while the bombs fell ON US.
Churchillian they’d rate themselves.

#TuckerCarlson Throws Down with #GOPer #MariaSalazar Over #Ukraine: He got in the, "I’m Not Gonna Take the Anti-Communist Lecture from Anybody!" For the rest, this fool of a foghorn screamed her words over his. What low IQ asses we elevate in the UShttps://t.co/hnQGv7so1D

Cite Pew Research via RT–and US State Media (Twitter) slaps a warning on your tweet.
A Twitter warning against anything appearing on 'Russian state media' (even if American-generated) IS GOOD PROPAGANDA, bc it comes via #Twitter, in service of the US Permanent State ? https://t.co/ne4YTyBGJv— ILANA Mercer (@IlanaMercer) March 16, 2022
Russian central bankers and economists have been hobbled by absorbing their American counterparts' theoretical dogma. Wow. Intellectual rot will make #Russia fail at achieving self-sufficiency, which is doable, says PCR:https://t.co/Rk86eQpJ97

Are we allowed 2 say? #StepanBandera was a Nazi Ukrainian, consecrated as a patriot saint of Ukraine. 'Apart from a handful of Righteous Gentiles, many #Ukrainians hunted down Jews, turned them over to the Nazis, even murdered them with their own hands'https://t.co/GElmaXc6Q7 https://t.co/jpg6awv6mK

Notice the inverted values: To me, a leader who doesn't plead for the lives of his people is a failed leader. But to the American Jacobins & their #Ukrainian Zelenskyite puppets, TALKING 'OUR VALUES' is all it takes to make you a good leader.#Zelensky & #Biden = failed leaders https://t.co/YVG6e3tDkN

#Ukrainians are stopping "suspicious" people in the streets demanding their papers, giving them a hard time, in search for what they call #RussianSaboteurs. Canada and the US do it so it must be a legit #democratic practice. https://t.co/qQJ7Dmn8Fr

This is how Ukraine and Russia were discussed pre-2022.
People making these same – true! – points today are called pro-Putin.
Share this with your liberal and neocon friends and family members.
