A Tale of Two ASSets

The news on the wire is that US special forces have eliminated Al Baghdadi, the leader of the ISIS movement in Syria.

After allowing this nutcase and his followers to roll into Syria in 2014 with his endless truck convoys under clear blue skies, without any harassment from the ‘mighty’ US military terrorist smiters, Trump has decided to fire this hapless asset.

This is indeed the fate of all US-created nutcases, should they not deliver.

Al Baghdadi was a US asset, just like Osama Bin Laden. And like old Osama, the US decided to 'retire' this flop as he is no longer needed. Just don't expect any evidence to back any of this up. You’ll have to 'trust' Don Trumpolino. This 'announcement' may not even be true, and a part of some propaganda campaign.

The Trump regime has not been doing too well in the international and military arena, has suffered a huge embarrassment in Syria, and compromised itself in front of its European NATO vassals.

So it’s always nice to have a handy boogeyman to ‘kill’ at such a challenging time and score some points, right before a re-election. Remember that Obummer also decided to end OBL a year before his re-election.

But the question is, what other boogeyman does the US have stuffed in its pocket? Because let’s remember that right after Bin Laden was done away with, Mr. Baghdadi popped up on the scene.

Can we expect a 3rd, even worse US-created nutcase to come on the scene in the next weeks and months?

The pattern is indeed troubling.

China vs. US

Trump's tariff and sanctions tantrums on China are starting to bring on stock market falls and worries of a possible recession.

Since all these tariffs are hurting everyone, it should dawn on Trump to stop them. China is not going to give in. It does not matter whether Trump gets re-elected or not. and if he continues to pursue this, he may very well be a one-termer.

Expecting Trump to fix the US economy is a tall order. It's like asking a random person off the street to solve the mystery of life.

Trump can tariff 100% of all Chinese imports 100% and won't be able to bring China to its knees. Yes, it is this hopeless for the US. The scales are tipped too much in China's favor. 

These tariffs would maybe work if China exported most of what it makes to the US, but imports to the US are not even 20% right now. So Trump is just taxing the living f**k out of the average US consumer. 

The US deficit has jumped another 500 billion since the beginning of the year due to Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy, and will reach another trillion more by next year. 

So the tariff war is not helping. If Trump wants to improve the economy, he would have to turn against the best interests of the wealthy and investor class-namely himself.

He would have to punish the real offenders responsible for the colossal trade deficit: the greedy and short-sighted US corporate CEOs who outsourced their manufacturing to other countries. Trump should slap these companies with steep taxes until they bring back manufacturing to the US. Make it more expensive for them to offshore than if they moved production back to the US, hired US workers, and paid them a decent salary with decent benefits.

Up to now, Trump is punishing China for the sins and greed of US CEOs. Trump is acting like an inept coward. He is incapable of making the right and rational decisions that would help the most.

This simply shows that all the new clean service tech economy mumbo jumbo the establishment has been feeding the world since the late 1990s turned out to be bullplop. Manufacturing will always be good and necessary, and is a sound fall-back for any nation's economy. The case of China vs. US is a shining example. A healthy economy must actually make something, not just come up with something, and speculate.


The only big-ticket factory production the US has is the weapons industry, and even they are losing market share to competition from Russia and China. The US, in essence, is a war economy.

Maybe the US is deliberately trying to cause economic problems for the world, and is betting on scared investors running for safety by buying up more US debt in the form of long-term treasury bills.

If there is a recession, or some other world-wide economic melt-down caused by US foibles, all countries need to resist the urge to buy this US debt, and instead go for precious metals. Then the US will suffer even more serious economic blow-back than anyone else, and will be cut down to size.

This is long overdue.

The Gathering Clouds of Failure

Over the past months, the US has suffered serious setbacks and humiliations.

The catalyst for all of this was Trump’s terribly misguided decision to withdraw from the JCPOA.

Trump overestimated US power, and underestimated Iran’s, and that was his biggest mistake.

Since then, tanker ships in the gulf have been bombed, and Iran was blamed. The US did not produce any sound evidence for this, and therefore its false accusations fell on deaf ears. The US regime’s call for some half-baked ‘Maritime protection force’ was a total flop. Only the UK sent a ship and some soldiers. Everyone else pretty much stayed away.

Strike one for Trump.

Then, there was the drone incident where a US stealth Global Hawk was shot down by Iran. US tried to lie to the world and accused Iran of shooting down the drone in international waters.

But the US regime was left with lots of egg on its face after Iranians showed proof of the drone wreckage that landed IN IRAN’S TERRITORIAL WATERS.

Strike two for Trump.

The latest US temper tantrum was after the Aramco drone bombings by the Houthi Ansarullah movement in Yemen.

The US, embarrassed that a militia movement from a war-torn, poor nation was able to launch such a successful attack which the US military and billion-dollar US weaponry failed to detect and stop.

The US immediately blamed Iran, without any proof, of course.

But does it really matter whether the Aramco bombing was done by Iran or Yemen? The main point here is that US military ‘might’ proved useless.

By blaming Iran for the attacks, the US is inadvertently acknowledging that Iran has the capability to outsmart US-provided air defenses, and sneak past the US military’s (not so) watchful eye. How does this inspire confidence in the US?

So just how blaming Iran instead of Yemen for these drone bombings makes things somehow okay, or better, or more acceptable from the US regime's point-of-view is difficult to understand. The warped Alice-in-Wonderland logic of the US regime is truly breathtaking.


Why couldn't they just stick to blaming Yemen? The Yemenis quite proudly claimed responsibility for the bombings, and have been using drones to bomb Saudi targets for years. So the precedent is there.

Strike three for Trump.

US weaponry has been exposed as ineffective and unable to withstand what Iran has in store. And no offense to Iran, it has very capable technicians and scientists, and Iran's seadfastness, courage and ingenuity after over 40 years of US economic terrorism from every side is admirable; however, I suspect that Iran has been, and is getting help from certain other nations in quiet, secret ways with its military tech and hardware. And this has been enough to rattle the US. There is more going on here than we know, and Iran’s capabilities will only grow because whoever is aiding Iran will continue to do so.

Recently, the Houthis destroyed three Saudi brigades and took numerous prisoners, including high-ranking Saudi military officers.

US lies, threats and sanctions have alienated more countries away from the US. China, Turkey, and India are showing the US the finger when it comes to purchasing Russian military hardware and Iranian oil. 

The dollar is being dumped, and alternate payment mechanisms are being setup that the US cannot control and which render US sanctions ineffective.

The world-at least the part of the world that counts-is taking a big dump on the US. And the US cannot do anything about it without destroying itself.

Add to this Zionist prime minister Netanyahoo’s fall from power, and Trump’s fake little world he had formed around himself has started to fall apart.

Now, the democrats are after him for trying to pressure the president of Ukraine to launch an investigation into Joe Biden’s and his son’s dealings with a Ukrainian gas company and some deals they made. Trump also threatened to ‘get’ the whistleblower who exposed his conversation. Now, impeachment is being thrown around as an option.

However, the democrats do not care one iota for any truth or justice. Their aim is to protect their party’s Alpha Male Joe Biden as their candidate going into the election of 2020; just like their fake Russiagate fantasy was all about protecting the Clinton crime family.

If something becomes of this entire Trump-Ukraine drama, and Trump ends up paying any sort of price, we can be sure that the democrats will resurrect the entire Russiagate saga and hitch it to this latest Trump scandal, thereby making both true. That Russiagate was disproved by the Mueller report does not matter. The right people will create the right reality.


But Trump has done so many reckless and stupid things up until now, that he deserves to be messed with by the useless, lying democrats. Let these two tear each other apart. Better this than sending poor people to fight some new illegal war.

All this paints a picture of a troubled country with massive, unpayable level of debt,corrupt politicans, a failing electoral system, and a sinister group of people who control the country behind the scenes to their advantage.

The US is ran not by the elected, but by wealthy private special interests and their faceless, unelected career bureaucratic servants in departments throughout the US government.

These obscure people make the decisions. They call the shots. They get to decide what happens to who, when, and how. Trump has very little power.

And if these people decide that Trump needs to go, he will go.

This is not some conspiracy theory.

All these governments come and go, yet their policies, as well as the problems, stay the same. Nothing changes, nothing gets fixed. Nothing new or different is tried. People want one thing, but end up getting jack shit.

That’s what happened to health care, to electoral reform, to Trump’s wall, to his promises to ‘lock her up,’ and to pursuing good relations with all countries.

But all those who fall for this crooked system, along its false promises and illusions deserve to lay on the ground-permanently.
