In part —

At this point, the US is running on fumes; the empire is at a deadend, and everything around it now appears symbolically to reflect this.

The death of arch-neocon Lindsey Graham is one of those moments, like when a fly had landed on Hillary Clinton’s face, leaving that poignant impression of metaphysical decay rotting out the empire from within.

In fatefully ironic fashion, Graham—who had been feeling “unwell”—had just remarked he didn’t yet want to die before sating his neocon bloodlust:

It is rather fitting, then, that it was his own rabid neocon drive that was responsible for the forestalling of medical attention, which thus accelerated his own demise.

One must almost admire such ironclad commitment to principle in the face of one’s own trickling fate.

But the point remains, that the spiritually deformed senator’s igneous consignment could not have come at a more timely and, it would seem, symbolic moment. Just as the US Empire’s grave decay becomes eminently evident all around us, as the bulwarks of lies and propaganda can no longer shore up the pitted foundation on which everything teeters, we now see before us even the previously symbolic and figurative transform into literal exhibits of collapse.
