Heroes & Hoodlums

The cop killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who was arrested on suspicion of paying with counterfeit currency has resulted in mass, violent protests throughout multiple US cities. Buildings and cars were set on fire, and the national Guard (military) is being sent in.

Trump has called the protesters ‘thugs’ and has threatened to have then shot.

Now, contrast this with what is going on in Hong Kong, and what the US regime’s reaction is to that.

In Hong Kong, violent protests, looting, vandalism and attacks by protesters have been going on for months. Whenever the police show up, Trump goes on twitter and calls it ‘human rights abuse,’ and blames Beijing for imposing tyranny on Hong Kong, and of violating Hong Kong’s autonomous status.

One can only wonder how long it will take Trump to start blaming China for these protests in the US, but one should not be surprised when he does.

Unlike in Minneapolis, Trump calls these Hong Kong thugs and looters ‘heroes’ and ‘freedom fighters.’ He is threatening China with sanctions and other nonsense, if these protests are prevented.

The US has been the driving force behind these protests, and has been giving aid to those who provoke it. In doing so, the US has broken many international laws by interfering in the internal affairs of another country. 

Iranian FM Zarif's witty attempt at turning the propaganda tables on the US

The US is supporting sedition, separatism, and rebellion in a foreign country. What would happen if the Chinese Premier supported the same in Minneapolis?

China has resisted putting any soldiers onto the streets of Hong Kong; unlike Trump and the state governors who have called out the US military to intervene. Imagine the hue and cry the Trump regime and its lackeys all over the world would raise, if China did deploy soldiers to deal with the unrest in Hong Kong?

But somehow, in the US it’s okay to do so.

And when a comparison is ever made between the actions of the US regime and those of another government, some US regime flunky comes out and states that 'there is no moral equivalence because we're the US, and we are right ' Cheap cop-outs like this are a US regime specialty.

In both places, we have looters and violent protesters venting their anger. But in Hong Kong, they’re supported and loved by the US regime, and in US cities they are hated and threatened by the same regime.

In Hong Kong, they’re all heroes, and in Minneapolis they’re all hoodlums.

The hypocrisy and dishonesty of the Trump regime is shocking. Do they really think that no one notices?

But at least the riots in the US are a genuine and spontaneous reaction to a crime committed by those in authority. In Hong Kong, they’re a fake revolution supported by the US and UK.

But all the protests and violence currently happening in the US serve that country right!

The US is finally getting a taste of the same poison that it has been feeding other countries, from Kiev to Hong Kong. It is refreshing to watch the people in the US react in anger, because there is NOTHING else left for them to do. 

‘Peaceful’ protests don’t work. Writing letters to the useless congress critters are a waste of time. All they do is nicely turn you down and ignore you. They serve a higher power (and I don’t mean any gods).

How many times by now have we had cops kill people in the US in custody while the perp was either incapacitated and/or unarmed? How many times afterwards have we heard apologies, that we must ‘come together,’  and that ‘changes will be made’ within the police departments? And how has that worked out? Seems like no genuine effort has been made to improve anything. Police are still killing people needlessly.

"We have to restore order to our society before we can start addressing the issue," Minnesota Governor Ted Walz recently said.

It already sounds like Mr. Walz is trying to wiggle out of doing what must be done.

No, Mr. Walz. The issues need to be addressed before order is restored. The US establishment is always putting the cart before the horse. They make promises, but they are always contingent on someone else acting first. Once the establishment gets what it wants from the other side, it breaks its promises and does nothing.

And the whole sad affair inevitably repeats itself again, somewhere else. The people who misrule the US simply refuse to learn, refuse to change, refuse to understand, and they are willfully-ignorant for the most part.They do not care about the people under them, and show them constant disdain and contempt; much of it cleverly veiled.

Is this the way it has been deliberately designed to be? Because it’s either this, or the US ruling structure is hopelessly incompetent and criminally negligent.

The police forces in the US were originally organized to protect private wealth. So the wealthy need the police to keep the angry masses away. In return, the police get immunity when they do something abhorrent and wrong.

For the elites, it’s all about preserving their power and private wealth. The police are an instrument of this.

The Trump regime, reeling from various domestic pressures and failures, has embarked on more foreign misadventures to distract the dumb.

These latest protests in the US make the current situation more dangerous because they make Trump and the US establishment look even worse, and weak, and in desperation he may do something awful somewhere in the world to shore up his image, and demonstrate US power.

A US-initiated false flag in the Persian Gulf, Hong Kong, or Venezuela that could lead to a war is a very real possibility right now.

Never underestimate a cornered animal.

And Trump has so far cornered himself like no other. He’s climbing the walls by now.

One day, the US as we know it will cease to exist. 

But it will not be subjugated from outside. It will implode from the inside, and will most likely be caused by events such as this latest one, and will be further aggravated by racism. Non-whites and gun-toting rednecks will be out in full-force, massacring each other.

We may very well see many US cities descend into chaos and anarchy. Soldiers will be called in, and this will make the situation worse. Some may even refuse orders to shoot the protesters and switch sides. 

And then we will have freedom in the world.

The Sum of all US Sins

Since at least early March, the US regime of Donald Trump has been trying to look for someone to blame for the COVID19 outbreak.

China is the number 1 scapegoat, but in its desperation to cover up its failures, the US regime has strangely added Russia and Venezuela to its list of miscreants, for its own geopolitical reasons. More ad-hoc additions are sure to come.

After all, someone once said, 'don't let a good crisis go to waste.' Although US attempts at this mantra have been dishonest, sloppy, pathetic, and blatantly transparent. 

But exactly why China would want to spread a dangerous virus all over the world and shut down the economies of countries that are its customers? This is not logical. But logic is a foreign concept to the people who misrule the US.

Venezuela has also been tagged as helping to spread the virus by preventing 'reforms,' (which is code word for US-led regime change).

This is basically a lie to induce someone within the Venezuelan government or military to get rid of Maduro. 

The Trump regime reminds one of these loser tech-support scammers out there who contrive scary stories in order to rip people off. That's the US government in a nutshell-low-life scammers and liars. I wonder how long it took these hopeless morons in Washington, DC, to poop out this bright idea from their collective anus of incompetence. Don't they have REAL problems in their sad and filthy land right now? US is #1 on the list of the most COVID19 infected places, so they need to stop worrying about Venezuela. It's none of their business who governs that country. 

More recently, Russia has been accused of spreading the virus because it is 'hampering US technology,' which is a veiled way of saying that Russia has better minds at work than the US, is able to cope better with the pandemic, and is actually helping other countries deal with the outbreak. Good old veiled US jealousy and resentment at work.

Even at this time, when the US is getting its butt kicked by this virus more than anyone else, it still acts nasty. It is really hard to feel sorry for anyone there when we see such morally repugnant behavior from the US regime.  

But the ultimate fact is that Trump dropped the ball, and is now trying to find a scapegoat. It will not work. 

He ignored the threat when it was presented to him in January. He refused to tell everyone what was really going on. He sat on his ass for over two months before doing anything.   
 
US is going to get worse, regardless of how people feel about Trump. Trump's handling has been bad and exposed many failures. But most of the US electorate is politically immature. They rather blame an outside party than acknowledge responsibility, and Trump is playing on this willful ignorance and immaturity. He may very well win re-election because people prefer a known mediocrity to an unknown mediocrity. But it does not matter. He will preside over the demise of the US empire. No one is going to be stupid enough to bail out the US this time. 

It's curtain call time for the US.
 
And for all those morons who instinctively ask ‘you’d rather have China or Russia take the place of the US?’ I will answer by saying: yes, why not? As long as they don’t start acting like the US has been acting, all will be fine. Russia and China have learned from their own experiences and history, and have not done the nonsense the US has up to now. They also have decades of watching US blunders, so they had good training and case studies to go off of when it comes to what not to do in world affairs. Plus, they seem to behave more responsibly and mature.
 
The best outcome from this pandemic would be for the world to turn away from the US. Clearly, it is a country that doesn't know what it's doing and is acting horribly towards others. The US system does not work, and countries need to stop subjecting themselves to its failing dictates and theories. There is no excuse anymore for letting the US off-the-hook. 

As for all the economic damage caused by this pandemic within its borders, the US is solely responsible for it. All viral origin conspiracy theories aside, the bottom line is that the US was woefully unprepared to deal with a disease outbreak. If failed to plan, it failed to have the necessary equipment in place, and it failed to react in time. After all, the US learned about this virus no sooner or quicker than anyone else. Yet, others dealt with this outbreak better and more effectively.

So China definitely cannot be held responsible for the poor preparation for, and the lack of proper pandemic planning of US regimes, past and present. It is not China's job to prepare the US for such crises. So no amount of lies, insinuations, self-serving 'investigations' and reports, and anti-Chinese propaganda will ever change this simple fact. 

But Trump's incompetence and the US government's lack of preparation are just two out of the 4 pillars of failure. The last two are the prioritization of military and intelligence spending above all else. The other is the private, for-profit, inefficient healthcare system in the US that is too expensive, and leaves too many out. It is the failure of all 4 that has led the US to its miserable state.

But there are very expensive reasons behind the lies of Pompeo and Trump.  They are worried about the long-term ramifications for the US economy and US hegemony. They are also worried that they will be held responsible for their lackluster performance dealing with the pandemic, because that will generate a slew of lawsuits against them. So they want China to take the financial hit for their incompetence.

The US is facing a prolonged economic malaise as a result of the pandemic. This will make it extremely difficult for the US to pay back its obligations. And since China holds a $trillion+ of it, the US is scared shitless of what will happen when China decides to cash in their IOUs. 

What the US is basically trying to do is default on its loans by falsely blaming the viral outbreak on China and hold it liable for 'damages.' It is a very foolish and futile tactic, and it will not work. 

What if a virus started in the US and wiped out people all over the world, and shut down their economies? How would the US feel when some countries out there decided to hold it accountable and gang up on it to demand 'compensation?' 

And what if all those people in the countries that were subjected to US military terror decided to get together and sue it? The US regime better hope this doesn't happen, or else the bill will be so astronomical, that the entire US will have to be parceled out to the victims, state by state, as payment.

It's really the 11th hour for the US empire. 

From a purely moral standpoint, the US no longer deserves its power and wealth simply because it has abused them both. Maybe this COVID19 pandemic is the great equalizer that will finally cut the US empire down to size and humble it enough to where it will be less of a problem for the world.

But once this pandemic goes away, what will be the US regime's answer to its terrible and failed handling of it when the next viral outbreak hits; because it will hit eventually.
 
Cutting of the military budget? No. It will be increased to ‘keep people safe’ (except from a pandemic).
 
Strengthening of the social safety net? No. Funding for social programs will be cut further, and savings given as tax cuts to the wealthy to ‘restart the economy.’
 
Healthcare system will be reformed to include cheaper medicare for all option? No. More money will be given to the private healthcare cartel who will use it to raise their stock price, and give CEOs big bonuses.

Capitalist system will be evaluated, and people prioritized over profits so that future pandemics will be handled better? No. Too expensive and ‘socialist.’ The market will ‘decide what’s best.’ 

It 's like an evil merry-go-round.
