The deeper darker plan of Donald Trump

Consider this another "conspiracy theory" for your amusement ... if you like

by system failure

More than two years ago, we wrote that neoliberalism drops its final big leaf with Donald Trump.

Right after the 2016 US elections we wrote that Donald Trump played well his role as an anti-establishment candidate, but in reality, he is only a reserve of the establishment.

Many were almost laughing with these estimations, but just one year in office and Donnie did everything he could to justify them:

- Literally hired Goldman Sachs to run USA.

- Signed a bill to deregulate again Wall Street, so that the parasites of the financial mafia to be able to play their games at the expense of the majority, as happened so many times in the past, causing big financial crises.

- Quickly aligned with the neocon agenda and bombed Syria. In fact, the Donald did even more than the puppet of the establishment, Barack Obama, by provoking dangerously war games in Asia-Pacific.

- Maintained US forces in Iraq, Afghanistan, continued the US interference in Yemen and elsewhere. Now, permanent US military presence in Syria.

- Pursued a totally unacceptable health care program that will push millions of Americans further to the cliff, without even a rudimentary social safety net.

- Continued to hunt fiercely all Whistleblowers.

- Passed more tax-cuts for the plutocracy.

- Passed a bill that will give him vast warrantless spying powers.

So, while the US political establishment totally bankrupted after 2008 crisis, the only way for the elites to continue the neoliberal project, was to bring in power someone like Donald Trump who could sell plenty of patriotism and 'anti-establishment' rhetoric. He could also be used as a diversion tool from the real progressives, like Bernie Sanders, who are a real threat to the neoliberal regime.

So, hurricane Donnie does what corporate Democrats, or even ordinary neoliberal GOP couldn't have done without him performing in the political theater. And while he passes his awful bills that will screw further the US working class, he "feeds" his patriotic vote tank with decoys like the "little rocket man", or the "shithole countries".

So, it's not a surprise that Donnie runs even faster (probably because he sees his ratings in free fall), to fulfill the final dream of the neoliberal regime: kill the state.

The government shutdown has been done in the past, but the secret mission of Donald Trump is to make it become a permanent situation. It's not accidental at all that it happened shortly after he gave another massive tax-cut for the super-rich. Because the ultimate dream of the plutocracy is exactly to kill the state and completely get rid of the taxes which are necessary for the government to pay public employees, maintain and modernize infrastructure in every public service.

And he found another ridiculous excuse to take the approval of the patriotic right audience: he claimed he has to shutdown the government in order to build that wall and protect the Americans!


And that's why Bernie Sanders is furious with both tax-cuts bill and government shutdown.

With the permanent government shutdown Donald Trump is about to deliver the country entirely and openly to the big private interests that would be able to establish the next stage of neoliberalism: 21st century neo-feudalism. Then, it would be a lot easier for the plutocrats to bypass "annoying barriers" like Bernie Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard, Elizabeth Warren, who want free healthcare, free education, end of wars and dirty interventions, breaking the banks and regulate Wall Street. The American people will be left fighting in a brutal arena of zero social protection.

For those of you who still believe in that Trickle-down fiasco, just check what happens when you deliver problems to private institutions with the complete absence of public provision:

  1. ...The primary change that has fundamentally changed the economy can be best described by Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, who said, "Through the tax code, there has been class warfare waged, and my class has won," to Business Wire CEO Cathy Baron Tamraz at a luncheon in honor of the company's 50th anniversary. "It's been a rout"...

    Rich people have much higher marginal propensities to save and invest than non-rich people who have higher marginal propensities to consume. The world-wide shift in tax burdens from the rich to the middle class has created a tremendous imbalance where there is a much greater supply of lendable and investable funds relative to securities to invest in or projects to lend to with high probabilities of good returns. Bitcoin (COIN) and the explosion of new cryptocurrencies is only the latest manifestation of the worldwide excess of loanable and investable funds.

    The dominating force propelling securities prices is the massive tax-policy-induced increase in inequality that causes the excess of loanable and investable funds, and that just got a lot stronger with the new tax bill. However, factors such as monetary policy, inflation and the unemployment rate will still have significant impacts on securities prices. There are also geopolitical factors and events that can influence financial markets.

    The quandary for investors can be described as someone who has seen the first and last page of a book, but does not know either how long the book is or what happened between the first and last pages. We know that a massive transfer to the rich will happen. We know that the middle class has a much higher marginal propensity to consume than the rich. We know that initially the rich, or if you rather the job creators, use their additional after-tax income to invest. This extra investment initially boosts securities prices. The higher prices for securities enable investments to occur that might have otherwise been undertaken. These can range from factories, shopping centers and housing. What we don't know is the path that equity prices and interest rates will take between the enactment of the tax shift and the eventual financial crisis or other event occurs, at which time the massive excess supply of loanable funds as compared to demand for loans will push risk-free short-term interest rates down to near the lower bound, as was the case during the 1930s, in Japan for decades and in America since 2008..."

Israel’s Descent Into Madness & the Holocaust Comparison

BreakThrough News   Rania Khalek was joined by Tarik Cyril Amar, a historian from Germany and associate professor at Koc University in Istanbul, to discuss Israel’s descent into genocidal fascism. Prof. Amar addresses whether it’s useful to make Holocaust and Nazi comparisons and the real reason behind the West’s unshakeable loyalty attitude when it comes to Israel’s barbarism.   

Zionist and US imperialist criminals are about to grab the natural gas off shore Gaza

globinfo freexchange   As the genocide against Palestinians of Gaza is about to be completed with an act of unprecedented brutality by the Zionists and butcher Netanyahu through the bombardment of about 1.4 million civilians in Rafah, it seems that they have already set their next primary goal. Which, in short, is to grab the natural gas resources off shore Gaza, together with their US imperialist buddies whose contribution to the genocide has been undoubtedly critical.     As already reported , in 2007, Hamas came to power and Israel launched an offensive on Gaza Strip, leaving behind 1,400 dead Palestinians, but taking with it the gas fields. Within a year, Israel announced the discovery of the Leviathan natural gas field, which did include Gaza's riches, valued at 453 billion dollars. But Gazans have been denied around 47 billion dollars in revenue. As for Tel Aviv, it's gunning to become a new hub. At that moment in time, that is 2022, Russian oil and gas were sanctioned.

του system failure   Τα αποτελέσματα των εκλογών της 25ης Ιουνίου ήταν λίγο-πολύ αναμενόμενα όσον αφορά τις πρώτες θέσεις με βάση και τα αποτελέσματα της πρώτης κάλπης του Μαίου. Αν συμπεριλάβουμε και το ποσοστό της αναμενόμενης αποχής, δεν μας έδωσαν κάποια ιδιαίτερη έκπληξη. Αυτό όμως που φαίνεται να αιφνιδίασε ακόμα και το συστημικό κατεστημένο, είναι η είσοδος των δύο υπερσυντηρητικών, ακροδεξιών κομμάτων Νίκη και Σπαρτιάτες, με το τελευταίο να έχει ξεκάθαρες διασυνδέσεις με τον πρώην Χρυσαυγίτη, Ηλία Κασιδιάρη. Παρά τη μεγάλη νίκη Μητσοτάκη, οι μιντιακοί ινστρούχτορες της καθεστωτικής προπαγάνδας εμφανίστηκαν σε γενικές γραμμές "μουδιασμένοι" και αυτό οφείλεται στο γεγονός ότι το συστημικό κατεστημένο (δηλαδή τα μεγάλα οικονομικά συμφέροντα που ελέγχουν και το σύνολο των μεγάλων ΜΜΕ πανελλαδικής εμβέλειας), πέτυχε μόνο έναν από τους τέσσερις μεγάλους στόχους που είχε θέσει εξ'αρχής.

The Shadowy, Intelligence-Linked Group Driving the US Towards War With Iran

"United Against Nuclear Iran does not miss an opportunity to try to bring the United States closer to a military conflict with Iran. And on the other side of the equation, they also have worked very hard to oppose efforts to de-escalate the U.S.-Iran relationship."   by Alan Macleod   Part 7 - A Lesson From History   The history of Iran has been intimately intertwined with the United States since at least 1953 when Washington orchestrated a successful coup against Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh. Mosaddegh had refused U.S. demands to stamp out Communist influences in his country and had nationalized the nation’s oil. The U.S. installed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as a puppet ruler. An unpopular and authoritarian ruler, the Shah was overthrown in the Revolution of 1979. Since then, it has become a target for regime change, and its nuclear program is something of an obsession in the West. Often orchestrated by UANI officials while they were in government, the U.S. has carried
