Obama/Clinton-&-Bill Team?

Obama/Clinton-&-Bill Team
Max Earth
Sunday 7th December '08.


Listening from the outside, many accusations of leadership egomania or awriness as come from the media, be-it Australia's rightwing tabloids or the hollowed BBC, strike me as dolted, or as coming from sicophantism unable to see things aright.

The hunger for a secure income is universal, even in media.

For example, the west's condemnation of the Communist Chinese government, whether in Tibet or on internal corruption or in slamming them for being as 'callous' as they are reputed to be, wins from me, as an autonomic retort, "The most vocal against China, Robert Mugabe, or Bill Clinton, even against G.W. Bush, are generally blinkered to some degree. Again..., the hunger for a secure income is universal, & for the wearisome readiness to consult 'experts' in one field or another, disabled by program budgets, schedules & time limits, they're not fully informed as to why one government or President did or didn't do something or other.

As the media is eager for a gaff in the US President-elect's Ascent, a 'pickapart' campaign is bound to get legs, in Alaska if not Manhattan.

An article by Justin Webb, North America editor, BBC News, Published: 2008/12/06 11:41:36 GMT' seems to be grabbing in it's headline

"BBC NEWS
Has Obama made his first blunder?"

Obviously the man Webb has experience, & an eye for news. But BBC isn't untainted in it's coverage of international affairs where the 'best interests' of England or Britain are of concern or threatened.

For a Britside journalist to denounce the underside of the Obama/Clinton-&-Bill "team" relationship before they take office, may be muckraking, maybe political, & maybe edging toward chastising the USA for 1, electing a black fella, for 2, showing realism in a (promised) better social contract with the US Citizens, counter-to the shift back to the defensive conservatism we see in a Britain coming-(NOT)-to terms with its role in the last 500 years of destruction of the world's environment, & 3, for waking-up to the FACT that British & European politics, complete with regal intrigues, fine art, culture, banking, illegal drug-running cartels, etc., is in-the-end ALL ABOUT BRITAIN & EURAPE, & that if the planet's Human chaos continues along the current Brit-Euro timeline, "we'll all be ruined!" to-be-sure.

Now to pickapart the pickapart Jules Webb, I going into "free-form-channel-mode".

The US is reputed for making it possible for any member of it's Citizenry to ascend to the Seat of President of the USA. But if you're born where politics is "in-the-family", like you have ancestors who have been US Senators for a number of generations, endowed with advantage you are, no doubt.

It's like the son of a factory owner taking-over when dad retires. There are things you know you have to do to keep the business going, & that needs to be familiar & solid before new ideas are adopted.

If'n you're up-there, whether in the top storeys of US politics or Swiss bank accountants, opportunities are mostly fairly-well orchestrated, sometimes ahead for years, decades, generations, etc. So, like criticizing how the Communists run China, criticizing Bill Clinton & Hillary's demeanor during their time in the White House & afterwards.., is shallow, because it seems to me, that the critic would NOT have done better, in running a nation as large as China, or in managing affairs in an administration jampacked with conspiracy & confusion as the USA's has been for ages.

There was/is only so much any President could do to make the nation or world a noticably better place. The best they could do was stay as near to the tiller as possible, & act on the most credible data they could find.

A hard task in Washingmachineton.

The overriding culture of high-level politics forces everyone who dares partake to do it it's way, or no way. If a President (of the 1980's & '90's) were seen to be anything less than egomaniacal, self-interested & off-camera NOT jocular about the job, - DOOM!

If a President showed no interest in making a rude quid while in office, they'd as likely be slated as “unamerican!”

The same applies everywhere. It's unreasonable to expect a People's Representative, a politician to fopp around in dungeries at formal occasions, just as it, in America, is unthinkable for the Prez to not be a millionare. So things are done, to keep the machine ticking along.

“Everything today, is a rehearsal for tomorrow”.

Politics is awesome in it's game of manipulation & control. The politics we accept today has been constructed on thousands-of-years of detailed agenda, & anyone elected to high office knows soon-enough how far they can go, in rattling the cage of tradition, whether it's a Wise, Sound & Ancient Tradition or one fermented out of a moldy stew brewed in the global meltingpot of failed Human minds & states.

Why, do you think, did GW Bush sit with the kindergarten kiddies for seven minutes after being informed of the “9/11” disaster?

Awesome. He knew he could nothing. The mechanism was churning, & he knew it was too awesome for evern the Prez to stop, change or make NOT HAPPEN.

“Jus' keep readin' to th' kids, GW.”

Webb asks “Did he (Bill Clinton) really manage anything in those eight years?”

This is about as bad as most of my comments on our last PM John Howard!

Who is this Webb fella? What a cheek!

Politics, for all of the above, is also a slowmoving beast, & to stay in in the 'game' one has to know when to press the red button, & when to go for a coffee, etc. It's usually infused with hyperbolee about preparation, a-cog-in-the-machine, timing & keeping the other fellas offside or off balance, preferably both.

Both sides, conservative & progressive feign affection to the “longterm goals”, & that while each side opines differently, the end-goal is the same.

A healthy, prosperous, Wise, safe & strong People.

Looking-back over the last three decades of world politics, with the hubris which grew-&-grew in-&-around Washington, with a cykoanalytical eye, deconstructing the witchcraft pouring in from the Cosmos, one knows that even while at risk of REALLY fucking-up the planet, with past threats like the Cuban Missile Crisis as examples, stodge, gummy-cogs, snail-pace change or decisionmaking can be a mighty-fine thing. For each day in every President's term is filled with the potential of making too hasty a decision, & bringing-down the whole circus, tent, trapeez & a herd of elephants ontop.

None Rightminded, would call Bill Clinton a dolt, a fool or unintelligent, apart from Hillary.

That he glissens-&-bubbles with Joy at being the centre of attention in many venues, is not something someone from a foreign media authority fairly condemns.

In 1996, I watched the ALP Prime Minister Paul Keating concede defeat to Liberal John Howard on tele. I watched in dishearted annoyance as Paul looked down to the ALP audience, for I could read the look on Paul's face (I reckon) as supportive women screamed in agony that this had happened.

Paul's eyes fell on them, & his face, without a word, shouted something like “You're idiots. Hysterical fools. It's a GAME, can't you see? It wouldn't matter if I was a Dingo, the results would have been the same. The bigboys over in Britain & Europe are pulling the levers. We're just parochial figureheads to keep the masses YOU! deluded that they have reason to Hope.”

So what Hope is there, locally or globally, & what Good can Bill Clinton be, betrothed as he is to the incoming Secretary of State of the Nation that needs to CHANGE! More & faster than any other on Earth?

America has not been in this position before. More power than Maximus Galacticus, more ills, more threats of utter carnage whether or not Good Government ensues?

With the rush by EX-Rightwingers to a more Balanced political playingfield, previous leftwing egomaniacs are also coming out of the face-putty jar, such that even in the grand US of A, People are finding that it's OK to think about the Collective Well-Being of the People, & that both, one can NOT be an egomaniac, & one CAN be an egomaniac, yet still have Wise & Valid concerns about one's neighbour, Village, Nation AND Planet. (Meanwhile downunder in New South Wales, any talk of caring for the Planet gets you a psychiatric test, incarceration in a catholic house of occult/mental experimentation, & a section 33 (mental health act)!

Now, many are also finding that it's more than OK to think, talk & act on making their own lives a bit less polluting, consumptive, excessive!

Halleluyah!

As well, previously filthy yobbos are finding gratification from helping keep or make a place cleaner. Underclass bums ripping around with a trailer muscling old wrecks onto it & to the scrapmetal merchants are doing as Good a Job as a President can do in Office.

Today, with all that is at hand, in terms of a world in peril, the media has done the Earth a service with it's reach & addiction to sensationalism. What better headline for the newsroom than “Sea-levels to rise! World under threat!” “We're all doomed!” “Temps to rise to 80 degrees C!” Your banana-lounge will melt!”

2008/2009 is a far different time to 1996, 2001, 2003. While most of the industrobeast just keeps-on churning, thus most of us just keep-on oiling the wheels, the political beast, the Swiss accountant &, I suggest with little hope, the military, are reviewing their past modus-operandi, refering to some hidden texts, Divining a touch of Philosophy & sprinkling a touch of Conscience onto the 'Map Room' of Strategy & Logistics.

I cannot reference one thing that any have done since the climate change heavy footprint hit the newsstands, but, optimistic or not (NOT!), I sense that attempts ARE afoot to CHANGE the direction of the industrobeast, condoned by the highest echelons.

From my Ultra-Altitude “All Things Considered” perspective, the change has well-&-truly begun.

A few examples, impossible though to verify, are 9/11, the 10 year Australian drought, the recent mortgage market collapse, etc.

Stoic pro-BritEurape ideological support, in this REALPolitik moment, tells me that the rest of the planet's Human & Animal & Creepie & Critter population should worry about two things now; Saving the Planet's environment, & dispelling ourselves of the virus of British & European economic land law corruption.

For, I reckon, that without excorcising the toxins of Brit-Eurapean assumed hegemony from our own psyches, Holy Houses & culture, the first thing we should worry about – saving the planet – is defintely unachievable.

So, as controls on Intelligent Thinking are being lossened, so increasing the room for Intelligent People to contribute to their fullest, compressed talents such as those within the Soul of Bill Clinton, freer than ever from the NEED for a 'persona', a mask, an ego, to stay in favour in the bighouse, I deeply suspect that Bill will be one of the most Stable & Contributive backroom members of the new US Administration, whether or not he flushes with Happiness at being able to help the Planet.

Congratulations USA. Congratulations Mr & Mrs Obama, Mr & Mrs Biden, & Congratulations Administration! It's a long hard track back onto the High way, but maybe the next US Administration will for the first time have Navigators & Generals who Know that Intelligence is All, in tackling big, nasty, homestomping enemies.

No Bill, I wouldn't talk to the BBC either.......!
