We are in the Midst of Revolutionary Change

Analysis by Reporting San Diego

March 17, 2017 (San Diego) The budget as released will not be the final budget. However, the budget as released has to be treated as a revolutionary document. The government of the United States was taken over by a coterie of right-wing white supremacist. It is in this sense that the budget makes sense.

This is a lens that will mostly be missing from major media we contend that major media still believes the rules of the past still apply. They do not.

Withdrawal from the World

This is the first broad stroke major element. The budget seeks to pull the United States out of the world order of the 20th century. This is the world we created, and we have benefited greatly from. It is through American participation in the Security Council, and other bodies of the United Nations, that the country influences events abroad.

It is through them that the United States at times controls developments. Arguably, it is the UN that has prevented another European war. For example, Kosovo had potential to lead to a major conflagration. It was the gravitas provided by both the North Atlantic Alliance and the UN this was prevented.

Revolutionary indicates a new system. What they want is a return to isolationism, bilateralism, corporate sovereignty, and poverty.
They want to turn back the 20th century.
