The Trump Card
Revolution or business as usual?
“I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past.” – Patrick Henry.1
It should be clear to regular readers that I attempt to view historic and current events through the productive role of a nationless merchant class or financial oligarchy.
Today, the United States of America is the world’s leading superpower. This global empire has been centuries in the making, and stands as the merchants greatest accomplishment. Unfortunately for non-Americans, any upheavals in the U.S. tend to yield worldwide consequences.
My recent post Why Fascism, explained precisely why our much-lauded ‘democracy’ is the merchants favoured system of governance. The modern climate and culture is largely their construct, and democracy is the essential cog in their economic wheel. Without it, the merchants livelihood is threatened. This is why democracy must be exported globally – if necessary, by the use of force.
