US is fascist police state run by Wall Street crowd
US is fascist police state run by Wall Street crowd
There are some good people in Congress, but there are very, very few and nobody in power is anything but a-dirty-business-as-usual-politician. And these are the ones that will run the country next January whether it’s Trump, Biden or anybody else. It’s the way it’s always been in the US. There was one exception.
And he didn’t go into office that way, and the exception was Jack Kennedy, who was far out of the programs. He would really turn things around in the US and geopolitically. He was anti-war. He wanted all US forces out of Vietnam. He supported Palestinian rights. He wanted denuclearization, and normalize relations with Russia. And for those reasons and others, the CIA killed him and killed his brother Bobby for the same reason. It killed Dr. Martin Luther King for the same reason. That’s the disturbing truth about how America is run. It’s a fascist police state, a fantasy democracy. Never the real thing. And the founders that created the country. Today we would call them a Wall Street crowd. That’s exactly what they were. There was nothing glorious about them. It’s a disturbing situation. One day, either we find a new way to change things in Washington, or we may all be doomed.
End of federalism!?
End of federalism!? – Tehran Times
The scourge of neoliberalism has been U.S.-led Western policy since what I and others call the neoliberal 90s.
China, Russia, Iran, and other countries are rising, the U.S. is declining. It’s all about transferring wealth from ordinary people to privileged ones. It’s been especially harmful since 9/11, a pretext for the U.S. to wage war on humanity at home and abroad by hot or other means, notably against sovereign nations the U.S. doesn’t control like China, Russia, and Iran.
COVID-19 is being used by the Trump regime and its Western counterparts to inflict greater hardships on ordinary people — notably greater poverty, unemployment, underemployment and erosion of human and civil rights.
It’s also a plot aimed at China to thwart its economic, financial, industrial, and technological development — aiming to prevent the country from becoming the dominant economic and political power in the years ahead.
I believe the scheme will fail. China, Russia, Iran, and other countries are rising, the U.S. is declining.
Because of this reality, dark forces in the U.S. are trying anything to retain dominance they’re losing to other countries.

China Retaliates Against Hostile US Legislation
The US wants China’s economic, industrial and technological development undermined.
Washington wants all nations worldwide subordinating their sovereign rights to its interests — clearly what Chinese authorities won’t tolerate.
