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 state, 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 conservation 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 catchup 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 on 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 blood thirsty 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 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.
