The Managed Collapse Of America Is The Point
Trump's Neofascism Drama And Tariff Buffooneries Aside, The Plan Was Always To Isolate And Strip America Of It's Assets.
Except for those too busy or unconcerned to care, this has been a terrifying few weeks.
I posted the following thoughts to my Facebook page this morning, as it seems that, even in a virtual realm where the unspoken rules are that one must be upbeat and always self-promoting, many people on that platform are allowing the rules to be bent, if not outright broken.
The alarm is palpable.
Finally, what was inevitable may be occurring: people are waking up politically, primarily due to the fact that systems of safety and comfort they depended on for decades are collapsing in front of their eyes, from the security of due process, to the illusions of American and Global capitalism, all melting into a hazy mirage.
Things are far too dangerous on multiple levels, as a huge karmically based historical debt comes to collect from the consensus.
As you’ll see below, collapse was the plan.
The time to speak out is now, or never.
Posted to my Facebook account 4/25/2025:
I'm always hesitant and feel guilty for posting about the ominous, negative things going on here and abroad, as well as the degradation and mistreatment of our fellow humans that appears to be ramping up in an alarming way.
But then, I tell myself, that's just programmed behavior where the instructions say: "Don't Be A Dale Or Debbie Downer, kids! You're in social media land, where only self-adulation and happy thoughts are allowed! Cheer up, will ya?
Trump, it's reported unreliably, is backing down now from the tariffs, the markets will self-correct, leading people to think: "My portfolio is relatively unscathed, this will all iron itself out, the courts are pushing back, right? So let's go have a 15-dollar coffee that's 20 percent coffee and 80 percent foam because the little arrows on my stock tracker app are pointing "up" with pretty green colors.
Over the last few weeks, Trumpism, or whatever you want to call this nasty, vile, "ism" that has literally upended people's lives, torn apart families, and inflicted mass amounts of terror and misery, needs to be called out by all of us, every day, without fear or hesitation.
Imagine this Harvard research scientist, a Russian Cancer researcher, Kseniia Petrova, who, instead of researching to cure Cancer, a disease that has and continues to decimate the global population, is currently wasting her extraordinary talents sitting in a Louisiana detention center.
All for ...what? Spite? Purging the nation for the glory of the white race?
Amidst all this uncertainty and economic chaos, I found a gentleman named Shahid Bolsen with an articulation and superior intellect via the YouTube algorithm, so I guess the algorithm is, at times, good for something.
Bolsen says "controversial things" because he speaks the truth, and the truth is, (and this is important) governments are a facade, the political leaders are like hack CFOs for global capitalism more than willing to sell America out at any cost, and the people who run the world, eluded to by the late George Carlin as "The Big Club", are what Bolsen calls OCOGFC, or the owners and controllers of global financial capital.
At any other time in American History, this might be dismissed as Alex Jones-style paranoid ranting, but this man isn't trolling viewers for clickbait.
To the economic points (based on a recent video by Bolsen I watched), Trump's absurd claims that, somehow, American manufacturing is coming back, are a deception that is lulling people to sleep.
For at least thirty years, the fire sale has been ongoing, trade agreements were signed by Clinton and renegotiated by Trump, which allowed corporations to outsource jobs and leave factories to rust.
Trump, dangerous tyrant and stooge that he is (Mickey Mouse behavior as noted by economist Jeffrey Sachs), is only facilitating MANAGED DECLINE. It's not an accident of ineptitude; it's purposeful. Isolating America from the rest of the world and stripping it of assets, like a fire sale for a business, is the point.
To quote Bolsen:
"Bolsen breaks down the brutal truth behind America’s managed decline, not as a failure, but as a deliberate strategy by the Owners and Controllers of Global Financialized Capital (OCGFC). Drawing from real data and macroeconomic trends, Bolsen exposes how the U.S. has been systematically phased out as the center of global power, and why the Global South is being positioned to replace it.
From demographic collapse to deindustrialization, from social fragmentation to global capital shifts—this is the full picture they don’t want you to see. Gaza, Covid, BRICS, digital currencies, the tech exodus, and the rise of Africa and Asia—it’s all part of a coordinated transition.
This isn’t a conspiracy. It’s a playbook."
Where we are now is dependence on global supply chains, and the critical link is China.
The propaganda over the years from American financial analysts and government Treasury officials like Janet Yellen is that China is, somehow, doing a 'bad" thing by BEING PRODUCTIVE.
Quoting Yellen and repeated endlessly by the Fed and government:
"...overcapacity is leading to unfair trade practices that harm U.S. and global businesses and workers, and that China is 'too big to export its way to rapid growth"
I'm no economic expert, but I listen to the smart ones, and one of them pointed out that China hasn't done anything "unfair," unless you consider investing in affordable housing, roads, trains, critical infrastructure, and lifting their citizens out of poverty "unfair".
Everything China has done is the antithesis of what America has done: let infrastructure collapse, ostracize and condemn the poor to hunger and homelessness, reward greed, and ensure dependency on imports (from China) more than they export.
Bolsen also mentioned that all the luxury-branded items, like handbags that cost thousands, are made in China and then marked up by middlemen. It's a delusion that makes "consumers" (formerly known as citizens) feel superior.
I certainly don't have all the "answers" if there are any, but living in a perspective of truth that aligns with reality beats the illusion that if Trump keeps his mouth shut and plays nice, everything will self-correct and normalize.
Well worth a watch.
Also, this extraordinary dissection of the Trump tariff debacle by economist Jeffrey Sachs. If you don’t have the time to view it, please take away these key points.
(Emphasis Mine)
This is an unprecedented time.
“It used to be (not) a Mickey Mouse country, my country.
But this (reciprocal tariffs) is Mickey Mouse, this is not...I'm sorry, I apologize to Mickey Mouse.
He would not do this; Mickey Mouse is smarter than this.
60 Countries immediately said "we'll rebalance with you" and the President Of The United States literally used the language I'm about to use, and I'm quoting him, because otherwise I would never say this.
He said "60 countries are coming to kiss my ass."
He said that in a public speech, the President Of The United States.
We can't normalize this.
We have to say NO.
It's a more fundamental point, ladies and gentlemen, the United States is a rogue nation right now on many things.
Not just on trade, but on making Gaza into the U.S. Riviera.
FOR THE WORLD TO HOLD TOGETHER, THE REST OF THE WORLD HAS TO SAY "WE'RE NOT GOING DOWN CRAZY LANE, WE'RE NOT GOING INTO THIS DOWNWARD SPIRAL".
Because IF WE NORMALIZE CRAZINESS, THERE IS NO WAY OUT.”
