Title: Berezovskyanism in the USA?

In the NYT, Masha Gessen, author of a biography of Vladimir Putin, summarizes a long interview with the late Boris Berezovsky:

Berezovsky’s account had some holes, but he stuck to it his entire life. Whatever his exaggerations or omissions, he played a significant role in Russia’s transition from Boris Yeltsin to Putin. What strikes me is that years later — and up until his death — he still thought it had been a brilliant idea.

Berezovsky claimed to have been the mastermind behind picking a man with no public face, a former K.G.B. agent, to succeed Yeltsin as the president of Russia. He also said it was his idea to manufacture an entire nonideological pseudo-political pseudo-movement to serve as the new president’s base of support. Berezovsky also had another brilliant idea, which to his regret Putin did not grasp: creating a fake two-party system, with Putin at the head of a socialist-democrat sort of party and Berezovsky leading a neoconservative one, or the other way around.

Well, that's pretty interesting. In fact, the last sentence above might be the most interesting one to appear in the NYT this year. But judging from Google, about the only other websites quoting it have names like Korean Jobs Forum.

By the way, what would be an enthralling fake controversy for the fake parties to fake argue over while they mutually loot the country for real?

Well, it's all too sci-fi hypothetical for me to think about. Obviously, it can't happen here.

...nonideological pseudo-political pseudo-movement...

...It seems like everything is converging. So, both rightism and leftism are effectively dead. American Right cares more about Israel and winning over hip hop Republicans than serving the white people who are the main supporters of the GOP. If anything, GOP is apologetic that so many whites support it. Okay, you don't want white support, then don't expect any in the future.

And then you got the Democrats with all them funny gays. Gays once used to take pride in how 'radical' and different they were. Now, they are so eager to out-Ozzie-and-Harriet and out-Fathers-Knows-Best straight people. What kind of leftism has gays as the main object of sympathy, and what kind of 'subversive' gay culture has gays trying to act like Mr. Rogers Neighborhood?

The wholesome gay executive of PHILADELPHIA and all-American gays of BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN should have been clues as where we're headed. It's almost like gays are the 'new conservatives' while GOP is trying to be the new liberals.

So, it's all converging. Conservatives and liberals are all becoming convergatives.

“I believe that there will ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those who do the oppressing. I believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice, and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the system of exploitation. I believe that there will be that kind of clash, but I don’t think it will be based on the color of the skin…” -Malcolm X

putin was too dim to grasp that russia would be better off being run by neocon one-worlder jews rather than russians?

dumb putin, dumb dumb dumb

why, look at all the benefits the US is reaping by following the neocon blueprint...

it's all bullshit, and if there's any "convergence", it's the US powers- that- be converging on agreement that the real cause of this mess must be obscured at all costs.

meanwhile, we'll be terrorized by the cyprus non-crisis, the gay marriage non- crisis, the gun control non-crisis... all of it bullshit intended to distract us from the fact that western civilization became dependent on a finite resource, supplies of which, despite massive efforts to find new supplies, despite quadrupling or quintupling prices, are not responding...

...and that means drastic action was needed...

...and that's why the neocons said they needed a new pearl harbor...

...and that's why the neocons got their new pearl harbor

and that's why we're wasting trillions of dollars on efforts to grab the remaining oil... nevermind our efforts are failing to grab control and are driving the price up

American Right cares more about Israel

With the control AIPAC has over US national elections the only way to get elected and stay in office is to support Israel first and foremost.

A couple that sum up the picture:

Berezovsky's proposal to create a fake two party system was too radical for Russia. They are used to the one fake party system.

Indeed, the Repubs and Dems have perfected the art of social issue catnip. They have Americans at each others throats over what are, essentially, trivial issues. Be it abortion, birth control, gay marriage, "equal pay" for women, yak yak, they have perfected the art of pitting the populace against one another on these issues. To the point where the vast majority of voters pull the lever because of these issues.

Meanwhile, both parties are looting the treasury, flooding the nation with riff-raff, waging endless war, crushing entrepreneurship in favor of crony capitalism, and ever so steadily raising the temperature to boil on the repressive police state.

But it's a good thing we're all fighting over gay marriage, because if not we might just get together and hang them all from the lampposts.
