Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: An Unchecked Presidency

Crazed by imperial hubris, Emperor Trump threatens the peace of the world. We may have voted for him, whether out of desperation because the Democrats were so awful, or it may have been that we just fell for his America First rhetoric about ending the forever wars, or illegal immigration or objections to “woke” Democrat policies, but now we can all see the naked reality. We had one of these mad emperors before. His name was King George III. We united to overthrow his colonial government in America and won our independence. Now we have to do it again, as Thomas Jefferson said we would someday. Nothing lasts forever. 250 years was a pretty good run.

Consider the Soviet Union. Some people thought it would last forever, but It only lasted 83 years. By the 1980’s, it was ready to die of old age. When the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia was looted by oligarchs and was plunged into a decade-long depression. Then some kind of miracle happened. Somehow, a man named Putin came to power and he was able to bring Russia back, and much more than that, he made Russia more powerful than it had ever been in history, including during the heyday of the Soviet Union. He put the oligarchs in their place and restored the Russian republic and the Russian economy. We Americans need a leader like him. He would have to restore our republic by putting our oligarchs in their place. The October 1917 revolution was violent, and the American revolution was also violent. But the revolution led by Putin was not violent. How he did it is a question for historians, but I would say it must have been the result of the decade of misery experience by Russian people that caused Puti to emerge. The American people had a great depression that caused the leadership of FDR to emerge. He understood that the bankers had caused the depression and led the American people against them. He won some great victories that restored the US economy, but he did not live long enough to finish his work and the oligarchy took control again after the war. So here we are again. Whether we can restore the republic without violence as FDR and Putin did remains to be seen. It depends on how violently repressive the now openly fascist ruling class will be.

In any case, this short interview with Jeffrey Sachs is very worth watching as he describes very clearly the centuries-old imperial strategy being used to overthrow the Iranian republic today.

 I just recovered from an acute case of Trump Derangement Syndrome fatigue, and along comes this.

Why is everyone losing their tiny little minds, after Donald Trump had Nicolás Maduro kidnapped, and his incompetent bodyguards executed, in contrast to Barack Obama, who destroyed Libya and had Muammar Gaddafi murdered by his Al-Qaeda Terrorists and George W. Bush who destroyed Iraq, had Saddam Hussein executed, and killed over one million Iraqis.

Donald Trumps crimes pale in comparison to the crimes of his predecessors, especially the war crimes of George W. Bush and Barack Obama, but the Lying Press has conditioned the halfwits to believe it is the end of the world and Donald Trump is the Devil incarnate!

 It really is remarkable how malleable the minds of the masses have become, for the Lügenpresse to condition the halfwits, with Trump Derangement Syndrome!

 Then again, I witnessed the same group hysteria during the Covid-19 Psychological operation and the drug overdose of George Floyd, which was fomented by the ‘Perception Managers in the Lying Press.

 Yes, but did you publicly protest the war crimes of George W. Bush and Bath House Barry Obongo, like I have on a plethora of occasions?

 I have contempt for Donald Trumpenstein, but his crimes are not even in the same league as those of his predecessors like George W. Bush and Bath House Barry Obongo, yet Barrack Obama was lauded by the majority of people, simply because the Lügenpresse told the halfwits, Obama was the second coming of Jesus Christ, and the imbeciles bought it!
