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.
