Most, if not everything, we see is not what it appears to be.
President Trump’s tariff war is like a huge TV screen to deviate people’s attention from what happens behind the screen (see article on “US-China Tariff War” below).
For example, did you know that the much-propagated dissolution of USAID – for so-called reasons of corruption and hundreds of billions spent for clandestine regime change preparations around the world – was actually not dissolved, but discretely transferred and integrated into the State Department – where it is safely invisible under Marco Rubio supervision (see Whitney Webb’s analysis below).
Thinking about it, wouldn’t it be naïve to imagine that the US / Washington / Pentagon would voluntarily give up such an efficient apparatus like USAID that helped fund the Kiev Maidan Coup in February 2014 – the origin of the current Ukraine-Russia war (a multi-multi-billion dollar money machine for the war industry on both sides of the Atlantic), and is funding thousands of so-called NGOs infiltrating governments around the globe, as spy and regime change prep-agents?
Never mind the death toll of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of such wars and regime changes. They are just cannon fodder for military profits.
Why would anyone believe the US government would just discard an efficient clandestine extended arm of the CIA, as was USAID? Now, the same CIA tool will be more camouflaged, less visible, within the maze of the US State Department which is also funding The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), known for worldwide regime change operations, and funding of creating new and existing terror groups in countries where the US seeks a reason to invade and “clean-up” the terrorists it created.
The result, again, counted in human lives, is hundreds of thousands or more deaths – unimportant figures. What counts is the profit in US dollars. Humanity’s conscience has long ago slipped into a deep, very deep sh*t hole.
The weapon manufacturers have heyday bonanza with Zionist Israel’s uncontested genocide against largely defenseless Gaza citizens – killing tens of thousands of children point blank, shot in the chest, in the head; and women, potentially future mothers of new generations of Palestinians, are killed also en masse, while the West just nods and hails Israel for her prowess. Ethics, morals, and conscience are gone – not even in the wind, but gone to evil land.
US-funded terrorist groups are, for example the origins of Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS and many, many more, mostly created in close “cooperation” with the UK MI6, Israeli Mossad and of course the US CIA.
One of President Trump’s closest allies, Elon Musk, found that hundreds of billions of dollars could be saved if USAID would disappear. Musk was given the newly invented Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to discover such aberrations. Of course he did. And he may discover many more of such wasteful agencies, discard them on the surface – on the public TV screen – just to continue them behind the screen, behind the opaque curtain, disguised in invisible clothing.
Tariff wars and such “aberrations” – useless spending – is what you can see on the “public television screen”, keeps your attention fixed on sensation, while behind the screen, behind the curtain, wars are planned and funded and peace efforts drowned because they do not serve the profit greed of the killing industries.
The tariff war is not a worldwide tariff war, but a “confrontation” sought with China by the Trump Administration. China plays along. China never seeks and entertains confrontations. It is not in the Chinese DNA. China’s policies and long-term visions are marked by the thousands-year-old DAO philosophy – Philo = love, Sophia = wisdom. Among other mantras it teaches: Never confront an adversary – submit yourself and play along with it and in the end you will win.
The non-confrontation lesson is what we should learn in the West.
We – the world – would live in Peace, and we would all win.
