How the Corporate Media Continues to Use the Russia Scapegoat as a Distraction from Status Quo Failure<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n
\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Countless observers have noted the obvious fact that the corporate media\u2019s all-encompassing\u00a0obsession with anti-Russia hysteria is partly just\u00a0a shameless campaign to prevent change within the Democratic Party by blaming its loss on an outside enemy as opposed to the oligarch-coddling, corrupt disaster it nominated. While true, the strategy is far bigger than that. So called Western elites have failed miserably across the globe, and the only way to retain their undeserved positions of power (many should be in jail), is to create and promote a mindless, highly emotional, non-domenstic distraction. Enter Russia.<\/p>\n

Ken Wilber perfectly articulated the failure of our discredited\u00a0status quo in his recent\u00a0ebook<\/a>, which I quoted extensively from in my recent post,\u00a0How a Breakdown in Liberal Ideology Created Trump \u2013 Part 1<\/a>. He noted:<\/p>\n

The problem very quickly became what Integral Metatheory calls a \u201clegitimation crisis,\u201d which it defines as a mismatch between Lower-Left (or cultural) beliefs and the Lower-Right systems (or actual background realities, such as the techno-economic base). The cultural belief was that everybody is created equal, that all people have a perfect and equal right to full personal empowerment, that nobody is intrinsically superior to others (beliefs that flourished with green).\u00a0Yet the overwhelming reality was increasingly one of a stark and rapidly growing unequality\u2014in terms of\u00a0income and overall worth, property ownership, employment opportunity, healthcare access, life satisfaction issues. The culture was constantly telling us one thing, and the realities of society were consistently failing to deliver it\u2014the culture was lying.\u00a0This was a deep and serious legitimation crisis\u2014 a culture that is lying to its members simply cannot move forward for long.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
