THE WILLFULLY BLIND, IGNORANT & EVILLY ARROGANT ELITES OF THE USA
They are renowned for how little they know of the world outside the borders of the USA. Yet they consider they have a God-given mandate to spread war, death and destruction in near complete blindness.
There is a well known saying that fits perfectly in the context of Donald Trump’s ongoing attack upon Iran:
“There are none so blind as those who WILL not see.”
Add to the above:
“Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
It seems the political and elites of the USA along with millions who believe in them are suffering from a chronic form of ignorance that has blighted the eyesight and insight of generations. It is a running joke that Americans can hardly find their own town or city on a map, how then can we expect them to find any of the nations they and their leaders have brought death and destruction to in recent years?
The blindness shown is inherent in its origins, at least among the average badly-educated U.S. citizen. But once we reach the political level it becomes a willful tool. Certain false concepts, either stemming from willful ignorance or malignant design demonize this or that leader, government or nation. Once fixed upon by the political and media class (the Epstein class as we now know them) those bare-faced lies are used to gain popular traction for war. This manufacturing of consent through the use of lies then leads to support for more of the death and destruction the USA is so well known for.
The technique is simple but effective.
Find a believable lie. Repeat it over and over until the following feeling among the people at large can be fomented. Use ANY lie, the more shocking, demonizing, evil and blood-curdling the better, beheaded babies, rape, torture, mass killings of civilians, anything you can dream up to generate a lust for immediate intervention, invasion, attack or outright war to get this reaction:
“Something must be done!”
This is the usual, oft-repeated beginning of the same pattern of criminal U.S. wars we have seen deployed so often over the last several decades. These are designed to create and use general American blindness and ignorance regarding the target and a gullibility that ultimately leads directly to the same war crimes we have seen repeated again and again.
But this time Donald Trump was SO imbued with ignorant blindness that he felt no need for the step above and bypassed it completely. He was so sure of his own bombastic lies and grandiose notion of his entirely absent intellectual abilities that he went straight to war.
The present attack upon Iran and the murder of its beloved leader has been the greatest mistake in a veritable litany of mistakes by the U.S. elite cabal for generations. It is a mistake so lethal to everything Trump claims to want for the USA. It will be its final undoing, a calamity of enormous proportions and a boon for those who are rising now to contain and cauterize the ability of the USA to continue wreaking its war plague upon the world.
A truly multipolar world is being boosted tremendously by just about every blindly ignorant thing Trump is doing currently and his attack upon Iran is the final nail in the USA’s coffin as a warmonger. Yes, Trump will no doubt use his insanely complicit U.S. military to hit Cuba too, and quite possibly others before he is done. But attacking Iran and killing its 86-year old cleric leader, a man massively beloved and infinitely respected by the Iranian people, making him a martyr, has set in motion a level of rage toward U.S. elites and their viciously blind arrogance.
The level of blind ignorance underlying Trump joining forces with Netanyahu thinking an attack on Iran was going to be some kind of cakewalk is breathtaking. But we have seen this level of braindead-level hubris before. The Iraqis were predicted to come out of their homes and shower the American troops with flowers, remember?
Once again:
“There are none so blind as those who WILL not see.”
“Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
Several more sayings that sum up the blind arrogance and ignorance of the bastard elite of the USA and their allies:
“ You can ignore reality, but you can’t ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.”
“The blind leading the blind.”

George Orwell on Systematic Blindness:
George Orwell provided some of the most haunting descriptions of how blindness is enforced or chosen in political life:
“To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.”
Orwell argued that objective reality is often obscured by partisan “orthodoxy” and requires effort to perceive clearly.
“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
From 1984, this illustrates how totalitarian systems demand total sensory and intellectual blindness from their subjects.
“The nationalist... has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about [atrocities committed by his own side].”
Orwell used this to describe the selective blindness that tribalism creates in political followers.
