FIRE AT HOME

As Donald Trump continues his war on tariffs, persecution of immigrants and childish bickering with Elon Musk the Who set the US on fire?

The days of playing world policeman are over. So reads a sentence on the epitaph of the USA. There is no other way to describe what is happening right now in that country and that once again, the Establishment media conglomerate is trying to make up these circumstances in order to do damage control.

The situation seen in the city of Los Angeles, California and which may spread to other parts of the Union are symptoms of the decomposition of a sinking country and with it, the elites who have used the state for their own benefits. Can you imagine seeing the likes of Warren Buffett or Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying: ‘There's nothing to see, everything's fine! Billy Joel was a prophet when he released his song ‘We Didn't Start the Fire’ specially with Iran situation now.

America is falling victim to its own inconsistencies, its silences and its lack of empathy with the atrocities that its governments have caused with themselves as well as those it has caused outside its borders with the incredible excuse of exporting democracy. It is precisely in the name of this democracy that massive deceit, corruption and worst of all, extolled by a community of politicians who only live for their own ambitions, has been normalised. 

If there really was a democracy in the USA, we would not be witnessing the most blatant and brazen examples of elite corruption and its most vile vices, covered up by law enforcement, justice administration and federal agencies. Is it credible that top class pimp Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in the New York City Mayor's office?  Asking too many questions has become suspicious for the powers that be, and it is possible that if you bother too much, something undemocratic will happen to you. Who can believe that the main witness and victim of Epstein's parties, Virginia Giuffre, also committed suicide?

The list of Western ‘democrats’ involved in these sexual affairs is long and as such the already crooked British royals with Prince Andrew's involvement could not be left out of the picture.

Yes, Donald Trump knew Epstein and attended his pedophile parties where, in addition to tasty cocktails, generous trays of white powder were served, but was he the only pervert? It seems that many who point the finger at the blonde don't remember their own vices: Hello Hillary, how are we at home?

These are the things of democracy, they would all exclaim, while the people, the simple citizens who try to survive on a daily basis under a state of affairs that is apparently free, under the impulse of policies alien to their interests and even those of their own country, must tremble lest they mortgage their house, become unemployed or fall into that damned trap of seeking salvation (for a salary) by giving body and soul to ‘Uncle Sam’ to serve in eternal and alien wars.

American politicians have started a fire in their own backyard and now with the arsonist Donald Trump they are burning their own house down. They have already burned down other countries and left fires in progress in others and all supposedly in the name of...democracy... Do you want just one example? Look at Syria, turned into a butchery where monsters (Al Qaeda, Al Nusra, ISIS) created by federal agencies like the CIA, the NSA and the military in complicity with mafias like the Muslim Brotherhood, a confraternity in the service of British MI6 and obviously Israeli Mossad, are making mincemeat of those they consider to be remnants of the regime, Does this have anything to do with democracy?

Trump's arrival was supposed to stop the US creating fires in other regions and ensure that the resources being squandered for these dirty games of geopolitics would lift the declining economic, productive and social situation of the Americans, but is this really the case? Look how he has now forged a list of countries whose citizens are banned from entering the nation and which, curiously, does not include today's ‘Al Qaeda’ Syria.

There is no need for converts like Richard Wolff or colourful activists like Yanis Varoufakis to come and warn us that all of a sudden, the US economy will go down the toilet drain and with it will be unleashed a social chaos that will undoubtedly implode into civil war.

A house fire has its culprits and they are not exactly outside. There is no doubt that external enemies -of which there are many and well earned- will rejoice in the circumstances but those who started it are within the government structures and well camouflaged in the intricate webs of agencies that have flourished for decades from billion-dollar budgets to create agencies and employ human resources that not even the head of the DIA knows about. 

Oh yes, anyone who looks at the US for a moment will see that it is on fire but it is not because of the ‘Arabs’, the ‘Muslims’ or the Mexican immigrants; not even because of the foolish Donald Trump. The enemies are within, and like termites hollowing out trees, they have hollowed out US democracy.
