EFFIGY
The Curious Tales Of A White House Voodoo Doll
Each American administration is meant to be representative of the people who elected it into office. An embodiment of the spirit of the voting populace. An encapsulation of their beliefs and ideals even if somewhat imperfect. Over the years, the naturally carved out features of this effigy have morphed from being a barely cognisable human form into a grotesque gargoyle. A mythical creature enchanted by the dark arts of American elitism. Half sneer, half guffaw permanently smeared across its visage. A face forever jeering at the populace. Neither welcoming nor menacing, just indifferent. Once a symbolic representation of the people, now a mere vessel for evil. A permanent, pedestaled fixture in the people’s house and a reflection of the folly of many within the populace. With miss Jean Pierre serving as the maitre d’ each time the National Security Council’s White House Coordinator, John Kirby, steps up to the plate he always seems to mete out gruel to the masses. A broth of ridiculous fables and fairytales about past foreign policy misadventures by America’s permanent administrative state. A clear mockery of the American people and the rest of the world’s populace who have to live through the fallout of American hubris.
No care given to musk the stench of apathy. Perhaps a dab of feigned compassion, maybe even a smattering of empathy would have sufficed. Instead, Bile is vomited on our faces whenever Mr. Kirby opens his mouth. A cursed doll simply used as the plaything of others to mock us all.

This past week, John Kirby insisted that during the disastrous evacuation of Afghanistan materiel was not left behind. In reality, billions of dollars worth of weapons and equipment were left behind. A just recompense for the Taliban who America’s foreign policy class had promised to weed out during this never ending money laundering scam. A little while ago Mr. Kirby also affirmed that the evacuation was carried out in an orderly manner. The images of Afghani men falling from the skies as they attempted to flee the hell left behind mere figments of our collective imagination. It is not the lying that is bothersome. It is the ease in which it is done. No care given to musk the stench of apathy. Perhaps a dab of feigned compassion, maybe even a smattering of empathy would have sufficed. Instead, bile is vomited on our faces whenever Mr. Kirby opens his mouth. A cursed toy simply used as the plaything of others to mock us all. A voodoo doll that inflicts pain and hurt on the general populace each time the spellcasters stick a pin through it.
With the ongoing crisis in the Middle East, Kirby has been quick to reassure the general public that no other administration the world over has done more for the people in Gaza. This is in spite of the fact that the current government has vetoed every ceasefire agreement at the UN Security Council. While American support for their Middle Eastern ally is understandable, the reticence to impose limits on the havoc being wrecked by the Israeli Defence Forces is not. While there are many within the American borders who believe that Israel’s actions are justified, many outside the American borders question the brutality of the methods being used. Simply labelling everything and everyone Hamas isn’t a convincing argument for the indiscriminate shelling of civilians. Earlier in the year Mr. Kirby asserted that climate change caused the war in Syria. Per the spokesperson, the ongoing crisis was not a result of President Obama’s regime change operation where Mr. Sullivan, then national security adviser, assured the latter that Al Qaeda “is on our side.” Mistaken beliefs which caused the region to spiral further into chaos and anarchy without achieving any of its objectives.
This money laundering scam in Ukraine is quickly turning the country into an island of death. Seems like the protected class of foreign policy criminals in Washington and Brussels are keen on doing voodoo on the Ukrainians.

At the start of the war in Eastern Europe, Mr. Kirby was wheeled out to offer contradictory statements with regard to Ukraine. According to the administration, Ukraine has the right to decide if and when to pursue a peace deal with Russia. However, a peace deal at that point in time was unacceptable to the American administration. This money laundering scam in Ukraine is quickly turning the country into an island of death. Seems like the protected class of foreign policy criminals in Washington and Brussels are keen on doing voodoo on the Ukrainians. Mere cannon fodder for their failed geopolitical objectives. Kirby’s tall tales and his unflinching delivery of said tales aren’t an anomaly. He is an effigy of American society viewed in reverse. Not a reflection of the populace in the mirror but a projection from within the mirror onto the populace. An embodiment of the hatred the ruling class have for ordinary Americans and subsequently the rest of us.
