“POWER IS NOT SO POWERFUL”

Like the pandemic crisis that triggered the global economic crisis, it is destroying the United States from within.

By Dany Smith

The appearance of COVID-19 would have been a very good opportunity to conquer and consolidate the global commercial and financial hegemony to which Donald Trump aspires since his arrival at the White House. As the People's Republic of China was a tough adversary to compete on equal terms and the military option was ruled out, someone -perhaps in his circle of advisers linked to intelligence- whispered to the president's empty head that there were unconventional ways and impossible to trace to thwart the fast-paced commercial career of the Asian competitor. And what do you think Trump said to those suggestions: “Well do it!”

That's how thoughtful are the decisions Trump makes when he wants to solve a problem. Controls don't exist and prudent voices seem muted Where have the strategists and the brains of foreign policy gone? Don't forget the Soleimani affair when he was convinced by the neocon sector and its Zionist allies in the Intelligence Community of how magnificent it would be for White House foreign policy to assassinate Iran's most popular Iranian general and the Shiite Arab resistance. This led to further anger by the Iraqis and the Iranians against the United States and put violent action with a clearly terrorist methodology at the center of the world's gaze. Does it not seem rather a stupid action to leave even more discussion In itself, Trump's disability?

But things would not end there. The consequences of this stupidity closed with a flourish, when soon after the government of Iran harshly demonstrated to Washington that it could also apply long-distance punishment.

But when it comes to spreading this biological agent (which clearly did not come from a Pangolin or a poor bat), the supposed political benefits that this would bring to Donald's plans to bypass the Chinese did not leave him meditate (if you ever do) the consequences of such idiocy. Just enough to be assured it would work.

Trials of its expansiveness and the effects it caused on the human organism were seen in mid-July 2019 by the personnel of Fort Detrik in Maryland, who at the time passed unnoticed by the western press. But the scalar proof of their contagiousness could be verified with the so-called “Event 201” held behind closed doors and without government guests on October 18, 2019 by The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, the World Economic Forum and the Foundation “Bill & Melinda Gates” in which representatives from the CIA and other allied agencies participated, among others.

But things got out of hand and the brilliant idea ended up being a nightmare similar to opening “Pandora's box”, destroying not only the Chinese economy (which they have begun to rebuild) but also the United States' own. Worse. The effects it has had on the mutation of the virus in the US, seems to have become uncontrolled to such an extent that it has forced the then empty-headed president, who was sure that it would not be more than a simple flu, to put on a "presidential chinstrap". If someone believed that only Steve Bannon could advise malicious and delusional plans to an unstable and ignorant president like Trump, by now you can see that he was totally wrong.

To make matters worse, after the social explosion due to the racist murder of George Floyd, it has called into question not only the government's security policies, but even worse, the entire political and financial structure that supports it, linked to the neoconservative and Puritan sectors of the Union.

In addition to all this, the inconsistent policies of external relations of the White House that lead to clashes between sectors of the same establishment, cause a state of unbelief that confuses public opinion and further disaggregates the already atomized government coherence. An example of this is being given these days with the apparent intention of Trump and his circle of neocons to remove the US from all international organizations such as the WHO and even NATO, causing a nervous breakdown of supporters of war and global conquest that nest within neo-conservatism.

But ordinary Americans do not have time to be aware of these intrigues -ironically- and today they suffer the consequences of them. The consequences are not yet over and the damages that are taking place have not yet been quantified. Believing what he was told that this would be temporary, Donald Trump implemented a policy of support through the issuance of tickets that can not last forever. The Treasury Reserve is not the panacea that solves all problems, much less the ordinary citizens of the Union. As of today and in the middle of summer, the United States continues to experience outbreaks of the virus in several of its states that affect large sectors of the productive economy.

For many companies sustaining their employees has been a tolerable sacrifice for a time, but the passage of time has exhausted their resources. The economy is not recovering, the wages of many have decreased and the recession that does not seem avoidable speaks of a dire time to come. Millions of American workers have been forced to cut work hours and go home in fear that the next day they will not be let in.

The income crisis goes hand in hand with the loss of jobs, a situation that has been classified as unprecedented in US history. And of course, when the causes that have caused it are eminently extraordinary and unrelated to normal market fluctuations. People are not consuming for fear of losing what little purchasing power they have and this is compounded by the fear that many others have of coming into contact with other people due to the contagiousness of this virus. With this, the possibility of an immediate recovery is seriously affected.

Another calamity that haunts US citizens is the taxes that overwhelm them and without real income to face them, this is causing a dilemma in homes where there is a family to support, putting those responsible in the dilemma between being able to subsist and with little Income to use it to buy food or pay the state its "taxes" at the risk that later the Tax Office - which is a hoax similar to the FBI - will try to mortgage their houses.

Despite these inconsistencies and clumsiness of Trump, many assure that he would be reelected next November and that is that on the other side there is no one who can guarantee the sustainability of the interests of the Establishment.
