From The Tempest by William Shakespeare. Those prophetic words are spoken by Ariel to describe the chaos caused by the shipwrecked passengers in the play.

In allegorical terms it means: evil, corruption, and cruelty are the result of human actions, rather than some distant, supernatural netherworld.

And so it goes.

The National Security State has kept the USA at war since 1945. It hasn’t built a whole lot of infrastructure like roads, bridges or public transportation since then…or provided a proper public education or healthcare for its citizens.

It is very good at making war and punishing people, but it fails miserably when it comes to bettering the livelihood of the average citizen. And without some major reforms and a stop to all these endless wars, the Republic is on its way to disintegration.

Egged on by his testosterone-fueled pack of sycophantic ‘advisers,’ Trump has disappeared so far up his own ass that he really does believe in his own omnipotence. He thinks he knows everything and that he’s smarter than everyone else – therefore he’s entitled to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants.

Various regressive Arab regimes including UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman and Qatar have either bribed Trump outright, invested in the Trump crime family businesses – particularly crypto – or helped facilitate other corrupt business ventures like real estate scams and Gaza reconstruction. So, one possibility is that these bills have come due and he is now using the American military to pay back those who have benefited him financially.

ARAMCO, RAYTHEON, LOCKHEED-MARTIN, BECHTEL, PALANTIR and all the rest of the death-eaters will no doubt report record profits this quarter. And since there are no more laws in this country – and even though it won’t be investigated – inside traders certainly anticipated the predictable economic repercussions of war in the Middle East.

All the right people likely began short-selling weeks ago. The billionaires always make MORE money when the global economy tanks. This time will be no different.

The second possible explanation could be that he is trying to avoid accountability for all his other criminal actions by thwarting congressional oversight and distracting people with another pointless war. He may also be ginning up an excuse to cancel the midterms to avoid the consequences of a potential Democratic victory that would allow them to retake the house and maybe the Senate and hold Trump and his minions accountable for their crimes against humanity.

But I’m not holding my breath.

This whole wacky Iran war thing isn’t just about one’s man’s enormous ego: it’s about a hostile corporate takeover on the path to annexation by a global corporate junta. They thrive and profit from chaos and disorder. It’s a ‘win-win’ situation. For them.

But there is still a basic lack of understanding of what this Trump regime really is. As Trump’s biographer Michael Wolff has said, it’s a Government of One. Trump doesn’t really have ‘advisors’ because he is not interested in anyone’s opinion but his own. The people around him are worthless sycophants, willing only to echo Trump’s uninformed and idiotic opinions.

Trump can’t find Iran on a map [even though it’s fucking HUGE!], so how could anyone ever think he would have some kind of strategy or plan for this war? There was never any real “plan.” The plan is simply to deplete an enormous stockpile of old weapons so that the Pentagon can buy a whole bunch more!

All he ever wants is a quick ‘win’ that will make him look good. Bombing Iran on behalf of Israel might pay off in the short term, but like, how does he think he’s going to enforce any sort of regime change without putting boots on the ground? Do they really think Iranians are going to be happy living under the dictatorial rule of the Shah’s son?

The answer is yes, they do.

“The people will rise up and welcome us with open arms..!”

Sure. Whatever. That’s what they always say. And they are ALWAYS WRONG. Every. Single. Time.

The USA and Israel combined don’t have armies big enough to occupy Iran. For one thing Iran is fucking huge[!]; plus, the Iranians have a decentralized administration, and apparently the Republican Guard can remain operational regardless of the number of assassinations carried out by Israel or the USA.

Does Trump plan to rule the country remotely? WTF?

Yet the obedient US mainstream media [MSM] still try to pretend like there is a rational reason for starting this illegal war. His surrogates lie through their teeth that he actually knows what he’s doing.

Spoiler alert: he doesn’t.

A catastrophic war in the world’s most dangerous region is being propagated by a convicted felon who has surrounded himself with demons who have no idea what they’re doing, either.

What a mess Trump and Netanyahu have gotten themselves into! Not just economically, but militarily. There is no way out of this criminal war that won’t hurt both of them badly.

This is cataclysmic for the entire world with no clear end in sight.
