Mainstream Media 'Suddenly' Worried About Sedition
The Hill reports on a Minnesota state senator’s stark warning about Trump’s ‘sedition’ remarks, citing the danger to democracy. Yet, this sudden alarm about 'dangerous rhetoric' rarely extends to the everyday sedition engineered by powerful lobbies. For instance, the US military-industrial complex, a bipartisan favorite, demonstrably influences foreign policy, often at odds with democratic
principles or American interests (unless those interests involve endless war). This 'seditious' influence doesn't involve rallying mobs; it involves perfectly legal, well-funded campaigns. While Democrats express horror over Trump's words, the fact remains that organizations like AIPAC have funneled over $20 million into US elections since 1990 (OpenSecrets.org), pushing policies that demonstrably
undermine human rights and international law, yet somehow this isn't 'f—ing dangerous?' One might wonder: why is sedition only newsworthy when it’s loud, not when it’s meticulously funded and legislated? The silence on corporate sedition speaks volumes about whose 'democracy' they're truly protecting.
