Ok, this is so weird I just have to share it with you. Out of the frankly psychotic world of what is generously termed FOX 'News', a strange creature has emerged who calls himself Glenn Beck, and who has created something called The 9.12 Project. It is his stated aim that he wants everyone 'back in the same place' they were on the day after the 9/11 attacks, 'when we didn't see red states or blue states, we just stood together as Americans'. It gets even stranger when he insists that the project is not political, it just wants to protect 'the greatest nation ever created', so now, apparently, nationalism isn't politics, which is just bizarre.
Now, if you're wondering exactly how to get back to that blessed state of 9.12, when everything made so much sense and you weren't at all traumatised and fumbling around hugging your children vacantly and letting your government screw you for all you were worth, Glenn provides us with 9 Principles and 12 Values (geddit?). The first of which, I feel I have to add, is 'America is Good'. And this project is for adults.
Should you not be confused enough yet, the 9.12 project website has an offensively tacky logo, where next to the mission statement is a rattle snake, whose body has been cut in to 9 parts, and whose rattle is loosely represented to have 12 parts. As though that makes any sense whatsoever.
The weird thing about the 9.12 project is that it claims to be apolitical but is of course horrible nationalist. Its website is full of people posting about coming fascism, about the country 'being taken in a direction we don't understand', but, having come out of FOX it is of course very very conservative. The Principles are basically a boiled down Sesame Street Version of the amendments of the constitution, and alongside seemingly sensible things like, I don't serve the government, they serve me, is the assertion that justice is blind, cross the mark and you will be punished. And those two ideas just cannot exist together. Especially when you throw into the mix that you and your spouse are THE authority, greater than the state even, but not greater than God, of course.
The whole thing is so bizarre it's hard to tell at first exactly what its motives are. My feeling is that, as this is a product of the FOX machine, 'creeping fascism' in the US can probably be read as 'creeping communism', and everything is only Ok when the Republicans are in and upholding the constitution.
More importantly, this insistence on 9.12, which bears no real relation to the rest of the website content, is to invoke trauma and prolong and culture that post traumatic fear response, which has never really gone away since 9/11. It also seems very much intended to cause confusion, which is a lot easier to swallow once you're remembering your trauma. The internal logic of the politics doesn't work, the assertion that this is somehow apolitical is nonsense, it's almost quasireligious.
Apparently, there's TV shows too. I can't wait.
