Donald
Trump is like a puppet which, from time to time, escapes and makes
its own maneuvers, bringing pressure to its masters who run an
already deeply discredited, to the eyes of the audiences, show.

This may
sound strange, but the recent open and direct
threat of Donald Trump against Venezuela provides
another evidence for the fact that he has been an option of necessity
for the US neocon/neoliberal establishment against its favorite,
Hillary Clinton.
The
establishment usually promotes someone that will come straight from
its 'factories', a person that fulfills some minimum standards.
Someone who could 'elegantly' spread the US brutality under the noses
of the manipulated, always with the help of the mainstream media
propaganda, in order to maintain business as usual: complete and
global domination of the US banking/corporate neofeudalism.
Someone so
'elegant', that could conduct proxy wars, ruin entire countries, run
out of bombs, send drones to kill people around the globe, and yet,
be already awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize! Does this remind you
of someone?
Trump
doesn't know how to be 'elegant'. He is a kind of 'cowboy' who
express directly the neoliberal cynicism. His zeal to serve his
plutocratic class is so obvious that has
already done almost everything that satisfies its
interests, contrary to his pre-electional rhetoric. As a consequence,
his popularity already reached unprecedented lowest levels.
And if
Trump's open threats against North Korea could be considered
justifiable by the establishment apparatus, the open threat for
military action against Venezuela has probably gone too far, even for
the standards of the US deep state. The US most common intervention
practice concerning Latin America, is civil wars, or, orchestrated
coups. Direct invasion nowadays would be costly in many ways, and
quite obvious. It could spark massive resistance, even inside the US
by the tired-from-endless-wars American citizens. Barack Obama
realized that, and that's why he decided to contact proxy wars
against Syria and Libya.
So, we reach
now a very interesting point where Trump, probably without realizing
it, brings a lot of additional anxiety and embarrassment to the
establishment apparatus. Because until now, the US warmongering
circus was using its 'elegant' puppet, which was elected according to
a carefully designed schedule, for the purpose of being able to
conduct bloody wars and interventions, while maintaining a
superficial progressiveness.
Barack Obama
was a perfect puppet for that purpose, at least during his first
term. And - as scheduled - Hillary Clinton would be perfect for that
role too, if Bernie Sanders wouldn't have come from nowhere to ruin
the original plans, forcing
the establishment to turn to Donald Trump, as the
choice of last minute.
Donald Trump
is like a puppet which, from time to time, escapes and makes its own
maneuvers, bringing pressure to its masters who run an already deeply
discredited, to the eyes of the audiences, show.
So, one
moment he decides to play the game and hire Goldman Sachs to run the
country, deregulate Wall Street, and bomb Syria. The establishment
apparatus praises him for becoming truly presidential. But then, he
refuses to condemn directly the racist violence that caused the death
of a woman recently in Charlottesville, forcing
the White House to run behind him to fix things.
After a lot of - we imagine - pressure, finally, Donald Trump was
dragged to condemn
racism, on the context of this horrible incident.
And in the meantime, he expresses an exaggerating zeal to go after
Venezuela and Nicolas Maduro, with a direct threat of invasion.
The
embarrassment of the establishment concerning Venezuela was emphatic.
The various mouthpieces didn't know what to do. Yes, they want
Venezuela for the US big oil cartel, but Trump's statement was too
sloppy. The mouthpieces couldn't condemn it - as their propaganda has
painted Maduro as a 'dictator' - neither approve it. In fact, Trump
didn't use the phrase 'military option' even against North Korea.
As things
were going out of control, even Mike Pence was 'recruited' to restore
previous status quo. It seems that the US Vice President has appeared with
Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos in an attempt to calm the
outrage that followed Donald Trump's surprising threat to
use military force against neighboring Venezuela. As the TeleSur
reported, "Santos, who's courted Washington's stance toward Venezuela, put on the brakes after Trump's threat of military intervention in a Latin American country. During the press appearance with Pence he said, 'We must do everything possible so that democracy is re-established in Venezuela.' However, he confessed, 'but as friends, we must tell each other the truth and I told Vice President Pence that the possibility of military intervention must not be contemplated.'”
The elites
see Trump as a necessity that terrifies them every time he opens his
mouth to unleash another straight threat. For these snobbish
plutocrats, who know very well how to screw the majority, Trump is
the 'dirty cowboy' who hate, yet need at this moment. He is the
expendable who came for four years to do the job for the elites and
leave. It doesn't matter if his popularity eventually reach zero
levels.
Yet, the
anxiety of Donald Trump to satisfy his plutocratic class depicts
establishment's anxiety to retain the neoliberal status quo. And as
the mainstream media propaganda becomes increasingly ineffective, it
seems that, the establishment representatives are not only running
out of time. They are also running out of tricks and options ...
