History is written by the victors, and as the White Empire loses the Resistance, they're being written out unwittingly. The subject of history is changing as greater nations object, and the Empire is responding with absurd verbiage to cover their tracks. 'America' thus says they're losing to dryer lint, or friendly fire, or geography; anything but admitting that Iran is a historical actor, acting upon them with superior violence. The White Empire are sore losers.

Just listen to Donald Trump say, “We shot down three planes with our missiles… they happened to be our planes.” This is somehow less humiliating than admitting that Iranians are people who can do things. But to hear the truth, listen to Iranian spokesman Ebrahim Zolfaghari say, “We speak to you in the language of power,” or even more bluntly, in English, “Trump, you're fired. You're familiar with this sentence.”

This war of language has been ongoing. Look at the New York Times or Guardian torturing language to exclude Palestinians and excuse 'Israelis'. Using the passive voice to hide active violence (Explosions Cripple Ship Carrying Aid to Gaza in the Mediterranean Sea). Or running headlines without subjects like Gaza Hospitals Losing Ground On Starvation (natural event?), or Palestinian Red Crescent Details Medic's Account Of 15 Colleagues' Slaughter (hmm, who did it?). All because 'Israel' must not be named, and Palestinians must not be human.

Make no mistake, Trump just says out loud what the posh media buries quietly. There is propaganda for the educated and propaganda for less educated, but it's just different brands issued by the same propaganda machine. There is no point correcting these people, or appealing to the imperial citizenry. They have no control over their government, and this merely reinforces their imperiousness. The idea that they should be judging other countries at all, and not minding their business like normal countries.

As Samuel Huntington said, “The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.” So the Resistance is teaching them in the only language they actually understand. Superior, better organized violence. Case in point, Iran.

The USS Gerald Fart

The historical fact buried in the daily news is that the US Navy—already defeated by Yemen in the Red Sea—has taken such a shellacking in the Persian Gulf that it's never coming back. The USS Gerald Ford took such damage that it needs to be repaired for years (meaning probably forever given that Americans can't rebuild a basic bridge in Baltimore). Where did this damage come from? Uhhh, dryers, toilets, beds, they can only describe inanimate objects because they cannot admit that the subject of history changed, and it ain't them. That all of this damage didn't just happen, that Iran did this to them. The White Empire cannot admit Iranians as subject of an independent sentence, and not subjects of them.

Instead the Pentagon says, “Insufficient data are available at this time to determine the Ford-class’s operational effectiveness,” as if we didn't just see the USS Fart face real operations and flee with 600 beds burning and toilets overflowing. No, they have to test what just happened in a white lab because they cannot comprehend brown people besting them. It must be the laundry, and not Iran taking them apart with superior weaponry.

You can see this again and again, the excuses in the face of obvious defeat. The Empire cannot admit that they're losing in the field, to men, though it happens again and again. They must be losing to the field, against inanimate objects.

The Slinkin' Lincoln

Take the USS Lincoln, please. Why is it 1000 km away from the battlefield? Just sight-seeing. Trump describes them getting fired on so hard they had to flee as some kind of victory. Here he seems to be confusing Patriot missiles—a land-based system—with whatever the Navy is using, and then saying they have 100% interception rate on hundreds of incoming. OK, then why are you going?

Even though Trump acknowledges that Iran exists, and even grudges them some competence, he still make the US military the subject. Iran must be impotent, and the Empire omnipotent. They fired, sure, but we shot everything down and didn't feel a thing. “Cool as a cucumber,” he said. OK, then what explains the pickle you're in?

As our man Ebrahim (Lord preserve him, I can't do Abu Obeida again) said, about the same and more incidents, “Last night, the US aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln was targeted by the IRGC Navy and has been rendered inoperable, now heading back to its point of origin. An enemy that announces its soldiers deaths as ‘mild traumatic brain injuries’ would naturally also dismiss the chaos aboard the Gerald Ford, the fire onboard, and casualties from friendly fire and now, with the same excuse, labels the destruction of its (KC-135) tanker as a technical malfunction. Your ‘technical malfunctions’, ‘mild brain injuries’, and ‘friendly fire incidents’ have been piling up.”

Who do you believe, the guy claiming land-based missiles on a ship that are 100% perfect, or the guy calling obvious bullshit, with receipts? Nevermind who, what do you believe? Ebrahim said the Lincoln was heading back to its point of origin and where is it? Slinking away to the Arabian Sea. You don't have to sink an aircraft carrier, just slink it. As Iran did. But Empire cannot formulate that basic sentence, and so remain ignorant.

The Language Of History

White Empire understands the power of language, it's really the last fig leaf. In 2002, Karl Rove said, “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors… and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.” And for a long time, this was true.

They really did create a reality, where Democracy™ was something they fit into bombs, where Freedom® was their private property, and where Genocide© rights were given to Jews in perpetuity (die in one, get one free). This war on words worked because their actual wars created reality. They didn't necessarily win, but they could make other people lose, and profit from the ruins. But now what? They've lost strategically to Iran, which means living in someone else's reality.

If you act and create reality then you can paper whatever words you want on top, that's just dressing. But if you cannot act, if someone else creates reality, then what are you doing? Then the Empire has no clothes, as more and more people are noticing. As Ebrahim also said, “Today, the initiative is in the hands of the nation and the fighters who have challenged the fake power of the world's greatest power, America, and exposed it to the public.”

The Resistance is rewriting history, and the first thing to change is the subject. For decades, America has been the subject of history and everyone that objected were objects. But first Russia, then Palestine, then Yemen, then Lebanon, and now Iran have violently interjected, and White Empire simply cannot intercept them. These nations have insisted on being the subjects of their own history, and not of White Empire. And they are winning. And who writes the history? The victors. It's taking a while to play out in the news, but the history writes itself.

I can feel this playing out in my own writing. If you look back, it certainly looks like America was living rent-free in my head. But I find myself thinking of them less and less, and 'Israel' even less. I use a Huawei phone, I get my news from the Resistance, I live in Sri Lanka. Inside my own mind, the White Empire is falling and to all of us a new day is calling, when we can be the subjects of our own sentences and not their subjects under a life sentence.

As the late, great Nasrallah said, “Experience has shown us that red blood is capable of obliterating red lines, and if the nation chooses to follow this path [of resistance], Israel and America will find that they are incapable of changing anything in the equation.” The Islamic Resistance refuses to be the subjects of White Empire and have changed the subject completely. They are declaring themselves subjects of history, and all the Empire can do is blame inanimate objects and verb violently.
