Most Americans, badly distracted by media bread & circuses, still think the acronym “D.C.” means District of Columbia; it actually means “District of Corruption.”
For the most part it was fated to be this way since the end of World War II; along with the Cold War that followed, and our global war-rebuilding commitment to the US dollar being the world’s reserve currency. Something I partially explained in Spring 2020, in 2 pieces about the PetroDollar Imperium, and its Part 2 followup.
After Reagan, Thatcher, Pope John Paul II, and Gorbachev ended the Cold War in 1991, there was simply too much money to be made by continuing it; done in a sneaky surreptitious form the Russians have repeatedly detailed & documented. And of course, this American Eurocentrism was perfectly fine with the Chinese, who have long wanted us out of the Western Pacific, and loved the fact American foreign policy was 80% focused away from them.
So why even mention all this? Answer: NATO, American Eurocentrism, the global reserve US dollar et al, are embedded planks in the Dimshevik Party political genome, every bit as much as Social Security, Medicare, Welfare, and Dims’ general care-feeding-maintenance of the 6 distinct parasite classes (Wall Street, K Street, Hollywood, the Ghetto, the Barrio, and the Trailer Park).
It’s who they are, pure and simple. I’m sorry if this does not comport with your world views, but it is what it is.
Confronting this mix nearly 8 years ago, a cosmic electoral monkeywrench was thrown into the gearworks of the District’s plans, that being one Donald John Trump, who amazingly won an election against the District’s selected, chief marionette and all-around, disgusting femme fatale, Hillary Clinton.
Oh, the humanity! Something had gone terribly awry with the mind-controlled masses of American boobs.
It was as the late Rush Limbaugh constantly reminded us, the District’s ensemble of lifetime political puppets could never allow the likes of Donald Trump, a mere rank amateur, to be the least bit successful. Yet he was, enduring a 24/7 onslaught of bile and vitriol. And 100% manufactured by their real masters, the NYC media.
So now as we close in on the 2024 election, the DC Universe is in a helluva pickle. Aside from its breathtakingly inept foreign policy (2 major wars, both of which could easily go nuke, a runaway border crisis of moochers & terrorists, total loss of influence in Latin America and Eurasia, etc. etc.)… there’s also the home front, i.e. kitchen-table economics for families, small business, and medium size businesses. One word: inflation.
And as Dr. Milton Friedman constantly repeated, “inflation everywhere is always a monetary phenomenon”. Something governments always & everywhere connive to create, for their own reasons.
My friends, we are at the end of the Petrodollar Imperium, and after 79 years (since Valentine’s Day, 1945), it’s been a good run.
The District of Corruption’s elite still think they can continue this charade by kicking the can down the road once again; lowering interest rates, assuring even more inflation, all to keep their puppets in power. It might work temporarily this Fall, but that sugar-fix, feedback loop, like all the others going back to 1945, is getting shorter and shorter. Muy grande shorter; the data doesn’t lie.
Also, the rest of Planet Earth, i.e. our creditors on part of a $35+ TRILLION debt (increasing $1T every 100 days), can see through DC’s giant Kabuki Play; ergo, that theater is emptying out quickly.
