President Trump’s visit to China in 2017

Nov 8, 2024

The Democratic campaign failed, some say, because it did not address living standards. You cannot survive on a diet of Kamala “joy.”

Joe Biden's record didn't help: measures of wellbeing like the cost of food and fuel, and jobs growth deteriorated. The big policy was the Inflation Reduction Act which did the opposite — in reality it was more stimulus, much of it for Green projects.

The most egregious example: spending $7.5 billion on EV charging stations program, which built seven stations — yet that only inconvenienced the lives of the better-off.

If the Green policy was at the heart of the administration's efforts, it was lavishly disguised under Joseph's Coat of Many Colours. Instead of a grown-up discussion, the Biden administration dove ever deeper into identity politics:

appointing an assistant secretary for health who is proudly transgender;
a male official in charge of nuclear waste who modelled women's clothing that he stole from airport luggage carousels;
while the transportation secretary attacked “racist” highway designs.

All of which may indicate "progress" but does not tell us where it leads, nor what is the goal.

This is not to single out gender — Biden waded into sexual identity, discrimination and trans participation in sports, revising Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972; funded the extension of diversity and inclusion to “drag pedagogy: The playful practice of queer imagination”; while the inter webs argued about critical race theory…

Though it took place in France, the visual climax was this year's Olympic Games which proved once again to be a showcase for oligarchic obsessions and diversions.

Recall Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals: “The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.”

Just as Barack Obama never explained his slogan "hope and change" — he left it deliciously, playfully, nay deceitfully undefined — a siren’s come hither.

In other words, the Biden administration's kaleidoscope of colour, the carnival of flags, ejaculations of pride, the travelling circus choreographed by a bumptious Vaudeville ringmaster... was a pretext for a form of change that was never discussed.

The question is, can and will Trump avoid the trap in to which Obama, Biden and in Europe the likes of former Dutch prime minister and now NATO chief Mark Rutte, Britain's prime minister Keir Starmer and German chancellor Olaf Scholz pedal?

Pied piper

We must address what Trump is willing and able to achieve against a globalist clique that does not hide its intention — at least in venues where it talks among its peers.

I mulled if the U.S. election campaign traded in distractions because topics like the economics of war and the genuine objectives of Green policy are simply too complex for the television sound bites digested by the masses. Or, more cynically, because candidates on all sides are complicit in the real trajectory.

In that case we would have a double layer of deceit, in which the "issue (which) is never the issue" provides distraction, while the candidates are Pied Pipers of Hamelin, leading the people in a merry dance.

Cloaked identity

In this way the pepetrators cloak their identity while they demand the end of privacy and the bio-identification of the rest of society — along with censorship aka hate speech laws.

Trump's team, and the patrons of his vice president JD Vance, certainly give pause for thought (see below).

Or maybe the forces with which they presume to do battle are simply too powerful.

This recalls the famous description by president Woodrow Wilson in 1913 of the power “so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”

Back in 1954, a banker named Norman Dodd (1899-1987) revealed, even before luminaries such as professors Carroll Quigley and Antony Sutton, how nations and peoples are manipulated by powerful forces.

Dodd is known to us today thanks to the efforts of G. Edward Griffin who videotaped an interview with him in 1982. He had been director of research, from 1952 to 1954, of the House Select Committee to Investigate Tax-Exempt Foundations and Comparable Organizations, known for short as the Reece Committee.

One of the highlights of Dodd's testimony is his conversation with H. Rowan Gaither, then president of the Ford Foundation. Gaither had summoned Dodd to ask why Congress was interested in the foundations' activities.

"We shall use our grant-making power so to alter our life in the United States that it can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union.”

In this article we shall investigate Trump's tussle with China and see how, genuine though he may bem, hiss personal quest may fit within, and be absorbed by, the trajectory directed by greater forces.

Motives and meanderings

One of the big policies of Trump's first term was competition with China. If Trump returns to the theme, what form will this take? The simplest distinction is military, economic and social.

If we were watching sports ball we would want to know how teams rank. How to measure China's economy against the USA; its military; its society and culture?
