Trump and his coterie of oligarchs & sycophants are celebrating this evening.  

 

Congress passed Trump’s Big, Beautiful Abomination (BBA) and it’s a complete abortion.  BBA of course, has the hallmarks of a banana republic and totalitarian dictatorship: funding for ICE and a police state that rivals the entire defense budgets of nation states, check; a catalyst for the explosive growth in the ICE incarceration state, yes; financed tax cuts and corporate welfare for the rich, check; trillions more added to the national debt, deficits, and the trashing of the once proud and almighty dollar, double check; the gutting of social services, healthcare (Medicaid), and food assistance (SNAP) that barely kept America’s working poor alive in a necro-economic & necro-political twilight, triple check; Big Daddy setting the table for crypto’s continued rise, as the dollar is increasingly debased, yes again; and there’s so much more.  Like immigrants, Trump and his posse will soon be coming for you; like Medicaid, they’ll soon be coming for Medicare and Social Security.  BBA is just one more signpost on America’s highway to authoritarian hell. 

 

What?  You think that’s a reach, the US walking away from its debts and obligations?  Trashing the currency so as to justify walking away from Medicare and Social Security?  A coup at the FED?   It’s happened before, see Weimar Germany.  Where the German establishment did just that: printed money like it was going out of style until it became worthless.  Ultimately, reneged on its negotiated obligations from the Treaty of Versailles.  Set off hyperinflation and then a deep dark recession, the catalyst a global crash which started on Wall St.  German retirees and workers holding a currency, German marks, that had become worthless.  This of course, is the same Trump, who was said to have kept a copy of Hitler speeches & German history by his nightstand.  The very same Big Daddy that ran up $8 trillion in national debt in his first term, plus another $4 trillion in funny money to bailout Wall St, yet again.  The godfather of bankruptcy and debt, Donald Trump…  trash the dollar, leave Social Security & Medicare for dead, screw over Americans who hold their savings and retirement money in U.S. dollars?  Trump, billionaires, and Wall St would never do that, although it wouldn’t be out of character and Medicaid appears to be just the beginning. 

 

Perhaps both programs, Social Security and Medicare, will ultimately survive in some privatized form, administered by BlackRock and Blackstone?  What could possibly go wrong?

 

Just like America’s predatory elite would never offshore the U.S. economy, offshore American jobs & the tax base, take advantage of labor from the Global South, and dump indentured labor and slave labor manufactured products on U.S. shores.  Just like America’s bankers and Wall St. wouldn’t trash the economy in 2008, kick Americans out of their homes and investments in real estate, after Wall St had been bailed out with trillions in taxpayer money, the banks further consolidated, made more powerful, leaving Americans with the IOU and absurd sums of debt.  The American mafia would do none of these things, certainly not plot to destroy Medicare and Social Security… the same mafia that is presently tearing up trade agreements and shaking down allies and purported enemies alike… and doing its damnedest to force Canada, Greenland, and Panama to become American colonies, protectorates.  The same two-party system & SCOTUS that has shredded the Constitution and is kicking in doors, shoving Americans and immigrants into unmarked vans w/out explanation, identification, or warrants, and sending legal residents and immigrants to El Salvador and coming soon, Alligator Alcatraz.  If there’s not a social credit score for everyone, there soon will be… thanks to Palantir.

 

After all, El Comandante Trump is a righteous dude.  Notice, amidst the wreckage and ruin of BBA and soaring national debt, there’s never enough money for the empire, an unaudited DOD, war contractors, our military base in the Middle East, the State of Israel (and the billions in welfare and weaponry our colonial outpost hoovers up).  Socialized housing, free college, free medical care… that’s perfectly unacceptable for the American people.  Why, why…  that’s socialism… the same socialism American multinationals and oligarchs avail themselves to constantly, continuously, and under BBA (to wit, the endless transfer of taxpayer wealth into the hands of a predatory few).  The very same socialism, redistribution of wealth that Israel is addicted to and depends upon, that is the socialized housing, free college, and the free medical care Americans are denied. 

 

And why was this abortion of a bill passed through the house & senate in record time?  Trump is sinking in the polls, losing his base, losing America… Trump has failed on all his major promises and desperately needed a win: affordability, inflation, reining in corporate greed, ending wars, and genocide.  Big Daddy desperately needed a victory (even if it is pyric in nature).  Trump’s time, his window of opportunity, appears remarkably short, which explains the extraordinary powers granted him by BBA and SCOTUS and the steady erosion civil liberties and freedoms surrendered by the public.  Hence, the need to pass the Big Beautiful Abortion now, all the better to get the for-profit concentration camps & gulags built, before the Dems get another at bat and do absolutely nothing about BBA. 

 

GOP and Dem cruelty and lies know no limits, they both serve money, themselves, and kleptocracy, and the American people and country don’t even register.  The American people increasingly, being little more than something to be controlled, exploited, manipulated in a necro-economic & political experiment.  Which begs the question, if the powers that be are willing to trash Medicaid & SNAP, how long before they dispense with crony democracy, the congress, the senate?

 

What’s so interesting & stunning about the Medicaid & SNAP cuts that billionaires & corporations obviously lobbied for … so that the wealthy could receive more tax cuts & corporate welfare … is that many corporations grossly & deliberately underpaid and failed to provide healthcare programs for their employees; and instead, relied upon the gov to feed & provide Medicaid for their employees.  You know, to keep the workforce alive.  This was a direct subsidy to corporate bottom lines, PURE PROFIT.  Now, with SNAP & Medicaid gone for millions… wealthy employers will likely face higher absenteeism, employee turnover, higher training costs & expense… as their employees literally drop dead or underperform from lack of food, shelter, & healthcare. Perhaps many CEOs are gambling on AI, immigrants, offshored labor to pick up the slack?

 

The complete opposite of Trump’s stated aims?  Something about making America great again?  A restoration of the middle class, a chicken in every pot?  That’s not happening.  Trump, the GOP, and the kleptocracy for which they stand are making millions of Americans poverty stricken again, as in Depression level, 1930s Great Depression era mass poverty, again.  That certainly appears to be the trajectory were on.  Most likely for ease of control and manipulation. Best to keep the slaves down.  Many Americans are already there, living out of their cars.  Poverty is a useful to tool in the hands of psychopaths.  

 

Workplace injuries & illness will likely skyrocket, as a result of Trump’s Big, Beautiful Abomination… As workers are pushed to the limit & with no recourse in regards healthcare, utilize workers’ compensation insurance.  Fifty percent of Americans could not access quality healthcare before BBA, American for-profit healthcare is the number one cause of bankruptcy.   And with that uptick in uninsured workers, huge increases in workers’ compensation premiums & rates will undoubtedly follow, as again - Americans avail themselves to the only accessible form of health insurance available. 

 

So, why would American and foreign capital return to the United States to set up shop… to build factories?  When Americans increasingly, can’t afford health insurance or are kicked off Medicaid by their own government.  When Trump’s tariffs are likely to set off more inflation and as likely, subsequently, a technical recession?  With Trump jacking tariffs to the moon one day, only to go full TACO the next, or vice versa?  

 

For such a transactional individual and alleged genius… who has our back… it’s strange that Trump has not billed and charged the beneficiaries of America’s empire and obscene military spending.  Why hasn’t the U.S. charged the banks, big oil & gas cos, corporations, defense contractors & Wall Street firms, who benefit & profit immensely from having the US military in the Middle East and around the globe, as well as, a never ending river of military funding for Israel and the Ukraine?  Why indeed?  Americans certainly aren’t the beneficiaries of empire, quite the opposite.  The empire means endless austerity, grossly underfunded public education & services, for-profit healthcare, never enough money to fund programs like SNAP… and an early grave for millions and millions of Americans.  The empire is a death sentence for democracy and the United States. 

 

And of course, there’s the ultimate money pit, Israel.  If the empire & U.S. military are nothing but the enforcer & muscle for corporate America, NATO, & the State of Israel, why hasn’t Trump issued a bill to corporate America, NATO, the State of Israel, and Wall St.?  

 

Perhaps that’s coming with the pending shakedown, the Mar Lago Plaza Accords, and the imposition of unsustainable American debt upon the world?

 

 

 

It’s like America is trapped in a time warp… stuck in the 80s… with the greed is good ethos and forty-five years of Reagan.  You’d think we’d learn by now.  Obscene sums of capital & oligarchy have delivered nothing for America but poverty, gentrification, a police state, wage and wealth inequality, a failed two party system - wholly unresponsive to the nation's real needs, catastrophic national debt… and the decimation & elimination of what made America truly great, a life worth living, a civil rights movement, a flawed but functioning government, a single earner wage that paid for the American dream, affordable housing and food, hope for a better nation, and a once thriving middle class (that was just starting to extend the economic & political franchise to those Americans, who have been badly abused, since the nation’s founding).  

 

At this point, the many that still believe billionaires walk on water and are something to look up to, appear defective, suffering both a deficit in logic and reason.  Capital, greed, and oligarchy are repugnant… its ranks filled with evil, venal men & women.

 

The lesson learned from the last forty-five years: taxing concentrated wealth and power out of existence is key and crucial, if America is ever to regain or obtain its freedom.  Ending the empire and our alliances with Israel and NATO, again, critical, if America is ever to achieve its democratic ideals.  And the same can be said of exorbitant privilege, but these reforms are not likely to be enacted unless Americans demand them.  These simple reforms could likely stave off a possible revolution.  Adults are willing to accept all manner of abuse, but something transformative often happens when they see their children go hungry & suffer. 

 

If America’s power elite didn’t believe a revolution was possible… as a direct result of the class warfare they wage daily… why the mass incarceration state, the police state, the surveillance state, and panopticon of digital surveillance?  Why the cop cities and gator concentration camps?

 

Why is the oligarchy so afraid?  Perhaps for the same reason too many caucasians are fearful of brown and black skinned people? 

 

Happy Birthday, America.

Group of Six Frauds

Group of Six Frauds

What doesn’t transmit light creates its own darkness.

-             Marcus Aurelius 

Gregg Wall (6-21-25)

We are living in dark times. 

An era where comity, cowardice, and abject failure to address a burning planet, fossil fuels, genocide in Gaza, and an American psychotic are treated as leadership and a win. 

The G7 was a disaster this week, and arguably, Mark Carney’s entrance onto the world's stage, as PM of Canada, was marked by timidity if not outright cowardice.  Canada and the world have several crises going presently, among them: a climate crisis; big oil & gas catastrophe, that is responsible for the climate crisis; a deranged U.S. president; a neoliberal economy that is generating widespread poverty & soaring inequality; genocide in Gaza and the West Bank; a new war with Iran; and a completely genocidal & lawless Israeli regime.

And did any of this make Carney’s G7 agenda… crickets, deafening silence.  To anyone observing closely, the entire G7 event appeared to be an advertisement for Western decline.

Trump came, he made sure the G6 dutifully genuflected & scraped, and he left to attend to Bibi’s latest war in Iran.  Straight up, it’s hard to feel sorry for Canada, Europe, or the UK.  The Group of Six sat around for decades and let Americans foot the bill for the EU’s and Canada’s defense… assumed the free ride would last forever. 

Canada, the EU, and UK had zero to say when America went on an orgy of endless defense spending, ran up trillions in debts, fought insane aimless wars, murdered with impunity… as long as the free defense/NATO ride continued.  Did it ever dawn on decades of Western leaders that the free ride, the free lunch never lasts, that they also had a stake in a stable, sane, fiscally & monetarily solvent United States?  There’s little doubt that America’s strongest allies, Canada and the Europeans, are in many ways just as responsible for the bankrupt disaster America has become.  Not once did it occur to America's closest allies & friends to pull America over and have a conversation about its debt & deficits, empire, greed, and the trashing of the U.S. dollar?  Now, Canada and Europe are between a Trump and a hard place and playing catch up on defense spending.  What was it Kissinger said: “It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.”

Now, predictably, desperate Americans have placed a would-be messiah, a demagogue, a charlatan in the White House… not unlike, for anyone paying attention, the Weimar Republic, Germany in the 1930s.  As the Federal Reserve’s & Treasury's printing presses burn, Weimar style.

This week, we saw how feckless & worthless the annual Group of Seven meeting has become.  A Group of Six frauds… "leadership"… stand around for photo shoots, looking at the ground, fearful of upsetting the tyranny that is kicking in their front door, fearful of the psychotic that is raging on their doorstep.  An opportunity missed for an intervention?  Not good.  Leadership?  Hardly.

Good times, good times.

 

 

With allies like this, who needs enemies.  Men and women too fearful to speak up?

On June 12 and 13, Israel initiated its war with Iran, based upon an unsubstantiated nuclear threat, lies that Israel has been perpetuating for decades to suck the United States into another Middle East war.  The fact that Israel has the only nukes in the Middle East and is a threat to every country in the region is conveniently swept under the rug by the corporate MSM… the fact that Trump’s Director of National Intelligence and the American intelligence community have said Iran is not building nuclear weapons is swept under the rug.  Obvious comparisons to WMD and the rush to the Iraq war follow.

Israel’s military strategy in Iran is merely continuation of what we’ve seen since Oct 7, 2023: Whereby an old, corrupt Israeli leader… who is wanted on war crimes in the Hague and is presently being tried on corruption charges in Israeli courts… has invented yet another pretext for war to keep himself on the throne and out of the courtroom & prison.  Bibi just told Israeli judges he’s too ill to be tried for corruption, but clearly King Bibi is not too sick & ill to start WW3.  Unfortunately, Bibi is fully backed by the American gov, Dems & GOP, and the tyrant in the White House.  Said tyrant now seems hellbent on dragging America into another endless Middle East war, despite having campaigned as Mr. America First and ending wars & genocide.

True to form, predictably, Netanyahu, recognizing that his colonial and genocidal end game in Gaza is drawing ever nearer, began to bomb Iran, looking for a new distraction & justification to keep himself out of the courtroom (in an all too familiar pattern).  An unprovoked Iran no more a threat to Israel than the Palestinian prisoners in Netanyahu’s Gaza death camp… a camp where the slaughter continues.  The Zionist regime so morbidly ghoulish that the military has resorted to gunning down famine victims in a caged, penned hunt.

As for Iran, Bibi and Trump are on autopilot, repeating another 1953 disaster, when the Americans and the British overthrew a democratically elected Iranian government (and installed a bloodthirsty tyrant, the Shah of Iran).  At this point, I no longer see Gentile or Jew.  I see white Europeans… doing what white Europeans always do best.  Waging vainglorious campaigns of hate, endless war, bloodshed, and murder… against brown skinned people, against the Global South.  Wars of domination and subjugation… of slavery or else.  That appears to be exactly where Bibi and Trump are headed: the Middle East reduced to a sea of vassal states, petrol dictatorships, an ocean of slavery and subjugation, an Israeli - Middle East technate or a regional hegemon.  Every American and Israeli accusation against Middle East governments, a projection of American and Israeli crimes.

And back at the G6 nada, zilch, zip.  Trump was right about one thing… want to make the G7 relevant again?  Invite China and Russia.

Netanyahu plays the victim, again?

 

 

As for a United States in crisis… Americans are beset on all sides by a failed, entirely corrupt two-party system, a democracy that is an outright fraud, and a predatory oligarchy playing puppet master inside a nation that has, and continues to be, looted …

It's becoming increasingly clear America will never be free as long as we have ties to Israel; America maintains the imperial war machine and empire; the U.S. is cursed with exorbitant privilege; and billionaires are allowed to buy the government.  And as Canada and Europe ramp up defense spending, the same fate will likely befall these countries (and already has – see the Ukraine & the EU's & UK's dutiful support for Israel’s genocide).  Eisenhower warned about this in his farewell address, the military industrial complex, the ultimate marriage between the private sector & the state, takes on a life of its own.  The wartime economy and endless colonialism, genocide, and murder are a direct threat to democracy: Military Keynesianism.  And, of course, George Washington, the nation’s first president, warned of foreign alliances & entanglements.  (See also the often written about alliances that set the catastrophe that was WWI in motion.)  Smaller nations are often well served by alliance, the citizens trapped inside a murderous empire are not. 

From any sane perspective, alliances with Israel & NATO and the American empire are dangerous things: tripwires for guaranteed conflict & the endless fraud & profit taking that is war.  These alliances & security guarantees help ensure America is constantly at war, that deficits and extraordinary national debt reach catastrophic proportions; these alliances & empire ensure colonialism, blood, genocide, murder, and necro-politics remain America’s number one export, outside of our cataclysmic debt.  They ensure Americans are born into this world indentured, constantly bombarded with half truths, lies, omission, & propaganda from their own government, with 60% unable to afford the basic necessities of life.

The American deep state, the global empire, and Israeli & NATO alliances guarantee the American economy is robbed, Americans face endless austerity, and badly needed social services are eliminated.  While traitors without morality or any redeeming value … that is to say, individuals of zero extrinsic or intrinsic worth… grow fat and rich, assorted scum: bankers, billionaires, multinationals, politicians, war contractors.  The usual suspects.

And the irony?  The ultimate in gallows humor?  America just saw Trump and his sidekick, Elon Musk, spend the first 130 days of Trump’s second term gutting social spending, social programs, laying off thousands of government workers, attacking and destroying regulatory bodies (investigating Musk and his rich friends), privatizing government for the exclusive benefit of Trump’s wealthy donors, and the consolidation of power… BECAUSE AMERICA IS BANKRUPT.  All so that Team Billionaire could enjoy greater: transfer of taxpayer wealth; tax cuts; greater consolidated power over data, government, and The People; more for-profit wars, murder, & violence.  

Which brings us to the question conservatives & the establishment love to bring up when there are expenditures that are, in their poisoned minds, inconvenient: How will America ever pay for Bibi’s endless-wars, the DOD, the MIC, the welfare state for billionaires?  How?  If we are completely honest with ourselves, America can no longer afford the empire, Israel, NATO, or the scum of the earth, America's kleptocratic oligarchy, but DOGE is not noted for its honesty, transparency, or investigating the DOD or Medicare & Medicaid fraud.  Interesting, how those industries... war contractors, Palantir, the billionaire space program, and healthcare insurers... all evaded Musk’s and DOGE’s keen eye.

An empire in terminal decline is a very ugly thing. Has there ever been a more murderous nation or poorly mismanaged nation?  Bestowed, graced with infinite gifts… thrown away on greed, murder, oligarchs, pirates, war profiteers, and Wall St thieves.  

Thank you G6… It’s been real.

Meltdown

Meltdown

Mr. Trump’s political advisers are preparing for a possible drawn-out war against Mr. Musk in which allies of both men in tech and politics are forced to choose sides, according to one person close to the president who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal conversations.

 

“This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted,” Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said in a statement. “The president is focused on passing this historic piece of legislation and making our country great again.”

-             The unlikely alliance between Trump and Musk breaks down in a rapid and public fashion. – NY Times

 

Gregg Wall (6-6-25)

 

A political marriage of convenience, greed, and lust for power... soon finds itself in an unmarked, shallow grave. 

 

Who suffers?  

 

Answer:  The American people, the poor, disenfranchised citizens globally, per the usual.  If Mr. Musk is correct and the U.S. owes one of the nastiest, malign, morally bankrupt presidencies in the nation's history... to Musk's donations... well, Mr. Musk has a great deal to answer for.

 

Thursday afternoon, this week, saw the mother of all meltdowns between POTUS Trump and his benefactor, Elon Musk.  The second arrangements were made between these two men, that Musk would spend hundreds of millions on the GOP and in support of Trump’s second term election, this breakdown, this meltdown was seemingly destined to occur. Hypothetical speculation on my part: Musk may have felt entitled to access to the President with the ability to steer Trump’s agenda, executive orders, and legislation, once Musk’s extraordinary campaign contributions were made?  And Musk’s early experiences, post-election, with Trump and the Trump administration certainly would have fed those expectations.  Musk, per the Washington Post, spent $288 million in 2024 and takes credit for Trump’s win… going so far, as to accuse Trump of showing a lack of “gratitude.”  Trump, on the other hand, was never going to give Musk that kind power and had noted previously that a tremendous source of Musk’s wealth was derived from government contracts and support.  Shorthand, for anyone paying attention, that the POTUS had leverage over Musk.  And then came DOGE.  The President’s team appears to have given Musk just enough rope to hang himself with, ready to take credit or distance itself depending upon the outcome.  When the DOGE didn’t produce the trillion or trillions in savings, but instead, angered members of the cabinet and congress, enraged thousands of laid off federal workers, and upset Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid recipients… the administration watched Musk swing.  Perhaps relieved?  The initial fanfare that Musk was greeted with at the White House began to taper off and fade.

 

The damage done to Musk, his reputation are, at least for the moment, incalculable; but it’s not inconceivable that DOGE and Musk’s adventures in politics could end up costing the billionaire, ultimately, Tesla, gov contracts, and considerable sums in terms of legal fees (as Musk, possibly, is called upon to defend his actions, behavior, and allegations of drug abuse to shareholders, maybe even to the government).  

 

Fast forward to Thursday afternoon, June 5^th, and Tesla stock plummets, after Trump questions whether or not Musk and the president will remain friends.  Followed by allegations in writing over social media platforms, that Trump is tied to Epstein, Musk is pulling his rockets, Musk wants to start a new third party for 80% of Americans, and later, agreement to the idea that Trump should be impeached and replaced by Vance (Vance is the protégé of Peter Thiel, yet another supervillain in the eyes of some).  Trump in return salvos suggests: Musk’s gov contracts could be cancelled, as a result - Tesla stocks further their descent; Trump had actually fired Musk from his White House job; and Steve Bannon joins the battle to suggest Musk be investigated, required to submit to drug testing, his security clearance stripped, and ultimately, be deported.  Trump had also accused Musk of going off on his signature legislation, BBB, because all the Tesla subsidies and EV benefits would be stripped away going forward.  Musk, on the other hand, states he’s concerned about the debt generated by BBB, with zero mention of the biggest source of BBB debt: tax cuts for the wealthy.  Possibly factoring into all this, Musk is said to have taken out sizable loans against his Tesla stock.  With the Tesla stock cratering Thursday, some 14%, this may have added to Musk’s anxiety and stress.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lost in all the excitement, and popcorn grazing by political junkies, was what did any of this have to do with a United States in terminal decline, swimming in national debt, and with sixty percent of Americans who can’t meet their basic needs.

 

The answer, of course, is everything.  For here on full display is the perfect example of the masters of the universe, the billionaires, the monopolists, the egomaniacs, the corporatist, the fascist technocracy, and the failed libertarian paradigm that have revealed the United States as entirely unexceptional, entirely incapable of change & reform.  Here, for all the world to see, are two entirely human specimens, basically an evolutionary dead end… the embodiment of the billionaire class and oligarchy that have destroyed the United States, its middle class, and the nation’s reputation.  But Musk and Trump are more than an evolutionary dead end, because of the power they wield, and their willingness manipulate the public, both are highly dangerous, acting upon their every whim without filter in highly dangerous times.  In the first nearly five months of Trump’s second term, much like the first, the president has achieved little except demonstrating his and his cabinet’s preternatural greed, lies, and gross incompetence.  Everything these two men have touched in the last five months has turned to ash.  See our US economy teetering towards recession, a failed tariffs war that has exposed America’s Achilles' heal – her national debt, and pushed the bottom 60% deeper into economic hardship & recession.

 

Musk is absolutely scary… why would any country in their right mind privatize government, or, by way of example, America’s space program and hand it over to an alleged drug addict with possible, emotional and psychological challenges?  And what have they achieved?  DOGE is a bust in its stated goal, rooting out fraud and saving the taxpayer money…  obviously, DOGE’s true aim was to consolidate power, the privatization of government, attack regulatory agencies investigating Musk's empire, the gutting of social programs and the transfer of greater data and wealth to a predatory few (and here, Musk & Trump appear to have enjoyed some success).  And Trump?  He certainly hasn’t achieved much of anything either: prices down, affordability, reining in the military, the DOD, empire, debt & deficits, controlling and ending wars and genocide?  Trump is an abject failure, a fraud.  Instead, the elderly Trump feeds his political base hate, misogyny, racism, xenophobia, ICE raids, attacks on higher education, alienates the world and allies, and seeks to consolidate his own power.  Far too many Trump supporters are perfectly willing to lap it up. 

 

As for the tens of millions of Americans who voted for Musk and Trump ...   In the hopes that their lives and their children’s lives would improve, no different than when Dems are in power, their dreams and prayers are dashed.  Or, like so many white males, who can never admit they are wrong, they are engaged in mental gymnastics and lies they tell themselves and others to justify their continued support for an obvious problem in the Oval Office.  A failure who appears to be in the White House for three reasons: to do the SV oligarchy’s and Israel’s bidding, self-enrichment, and to seek revenge.  That is to say, Trump’s and Musk’s rabid fanboy base are entirely delusional or perfectly fine with the oligarchy’s illegitimate designs.  At the end of the day, Musk & Trump are the personification of what America has become: morally bankrupt; spiritually destitute; stuck in the quicksand of a failing libertarian economy; a government that’s been busted out and looted with $41 trillion in national debt; a grossly overextended empire; a badly abused & trashed US dollar; saddled with a parasitic oligarchy, that is pure overhead, a drain upon the nation; a failed state.  Musk & Trump are representatives of our self-centered oligarchy, a growing cancer…  as lethal & self-destructive as our empire and the monopolies that operate with complete impunity.  Meanwhile, the US dollar is presently & increasingly being shunned, along with US investments & markets.  America, and its proxy in the Middle East, truly are pariah nations and we have criminals like Musk, Trump, GOP & Dem leadership to thank for that.  The amount of resources America’s oligarchy consumes (i.e. pure overhead)… in terms of government welfare, a billionaire tax code, privatization, subsides, and the transfer & redistribution of wages and wealth from our rigged economy… are a huge drag upon the American economy & weighs heavily upon the American people.

 

Like Rome, France, England, and Russia before it, America appears to be yet another empire destined for the grave.
