BREAK IT ALL! BUT NOT THAT MUCH

Why did President Donald Trump start the trade war, an outsider or an American Establishment puppet?

 

By Sir Charlattam

It is quite clear, Donald Trump did not decide to unleash this tariff war while he was campaigning, let alone come up with the idea in his twisted head. This is Machiavellian planning that must have been at least a decade in the making, and not exactly from the man with the flamboyant hairdo and spring-tongued tongue. The aforementioned deep state, that is undoubtedly the mastermind, born in the dark cloisters of anonymous bureaucrats and technocrats in federal agencies that, as we have said before, pursue a very different agenda from the official one, let alone one of interest to citizens.

In a nutshell, the tariff war is like a harpoon trying to kill a whale (China) and that can lead to either successfully killing it or, like the venerable tale ‘Moby Dick’ that whale ends up dragging the hunter to the bottom of the sea. 

In this figuration, a Trump would do the maths of Captain Ahab, who in his determination to finish off that damned beast will end up losing his life and his own ship in the attempt. Trump and his MAGA fanatics and the whole court of neocon upstarts and their ever-present Zionists are the most graphic representation in real life of the psychosis that feeds the sectors that make up the oligarchy in Washington.

Anyone who still believes at this point that Trump is an outsider to the US elite and two-party political system is deluded. Trump is just a front for the very system he once criticised. Just look at how he broke all his foreign policy promises and as we see with this new creature, what he is doing is deepening that evil machination that his policy predecessors set up as ‘endless wars’. While he refrained from open wars, he did multiply covert actions, one of them (and perhaps the most nefarious) being the biological attack against China with the release of that strain of SarS-Cov in 2019 that months earlier had infected all the military personnel at Fort Detrick in Maryland.

What he has done today is to open a new front of war, this time of a commercial nature and against the whole world that will undoubtedly cause many difficulties among those nations with emerging economies.

Trump and these dark sectors of US politics are hell-bent on trying to destroy the Chinese beast, apparently at the cost of sinking the US in the attempt. But Trump and his puppet masters are risking a very bad end if their calculations fail. Trump is trying to condition the world so that those who want to sell their products in the US will do so on his terms or base their industries in the country. At the same time it threatens anyone who seeks to exercise their legitimate right to continue buying Chinese goods with the democratic suggestion of making their lives miserable. As even a blind man can see, pure extortion in the best style of the lowest East London gangs.

Although unlike the cockney mates in my day who got their hands dirty to make their profits, they (Trump and his gang) are trying to prevent China and its financial system from anchoring itself in the international marketplace by unseating the dollar as the only global trading currency.

Some of these fears are well founded as the Chinese are strengthening their digital payment networks and with the early release of the digital yuan marking a recalibration of global power structures. If we look at it as a drawing, we would see a scale with the US on one plate and China on the other, weighing more. Furthermore, the Chinese offer their own digitised payment system, which, in the exercise of their freedom and sovereignty, would make any government question why it should continue to pay in dollars. If this were to happen, the SWIF system would cease to have a monopoly and would become just another option in the global payment system, and this is intolerable for the US ‘system’ and its monkey in the White House.

This puts into perspective a crisis of dollar hegemony that could lead overnight to the catastrophic end of US real power.

Despite all the dirty tricks being played by Washington, China has made astonishing progress and the basis for this is its advances in state-of-the-art global positioning technology and quantum communication that facilitates the development of innovative trade routes such as the digital silk road that join the traditional ones. These aspects are an important part of US concerns. Even attempts to sabotage such developments have not been lacking.

We have also seen that the initial onslaught must have been tempered by Trump's backtracking with some countries, as a crude way of regaining some trust or sympathy among those who had already taken it away from him since 2 April. No one around the globe is left in any doubt about the imperial character of the US. Donald Trump is just a character who responds to the agenda that is written in the dark and gloomy underground of the real Think Tanks that operate from the federal agencies.

The Americans have already realised that they are so far behind their competitor that Trump and his supporters would prefer a military confrontation to having to endure a paradigm shift brought about by the progress the Chinese are making.
