The Struggle for the American Soul 🧵

“America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy" -- John Quincy Adams, 1821.

But that's exactly what happened.

Trump embodies this conflict between nationalistic America First versus the imperial American Century.

This consequential struggle for the American soul will reverberate across the nation and the world.

Darkness from the Start

Of course, USA has been a land of contradictions from the start.

For a nation that arose out of fighting colonialism, the US grew in size tenfold within hundred years after the founding in 1776.

Americans came up with all sorts of excuses – such as the Manifest Destiny – for this relentless expansion.

Also, while the declaration of independence nobly declared that “all men are created equal,” the US could not treat blacks and natives as equal.

Genocide and slavery of tens of millions of non-whites continued for the most part of the 19th century.

And then it took almost another century for African Americans to enjoy basic human rights.

Six charts that explain the performance of China's economy during the "lost decade" under Xi Jinping.

💠GDP: 110% growth
💠Manufacturing Value Added: 75% growth
💠Number of Fortune 500 firms: 94% growth

("Lost Decade" according to Wall Street Journal)

China's economy 2012-2023:

💠Exports: 60% growth
💠Retail Sales: 120% growth
💠Car Exports: 1000% growth (!)

Number of electric cars (EV) sold in China v. USA, 2013-2023.

In 2013, USA was 6x China.

Now, it's the reverse: China = 6x USA.

Whatever your belief system might be, many things about COVID-19 never made sense.

There are countless theories, but here are some irrefutable facts about the coronavirus, reactions, studies, death statistics, and vaccines… to make you question everything: 🧵

First, was/is COVID dangerous?

From the beginning, the virus/disease killed primarily old people.

Here's the chart for who died in January 2020 -- one month after the pandemic broke out.

Nobody under the age of 30 died. And 95% of those who died were over the age of 65.

Fast forward, nothing changed:

CDC data from the US showed that 80% of those died in 2020 and 2021 were senior citizens -- above the age of 65.

The #1 vulnerable group was those above 75.

Perhaps you hate propaganda and you would like to detect it. Or, you want to hone your propaganda skills!

Either way, here are the four characteristics of successful propaganda: 🧵

Before we go further, the quotes in the above tweet might be propaganda! 😆

Perhaps Hitler and Goebbels were describing the West. Who knows?

History itself is propaganda written by winners.

Okay, now, let's get to the list

1. Keep the message simple

Propaganda should be like a great marketing slogan -- easy to understand, easy to remember, easy to repeat.

No complexities, no nuances, no gray areas.

If a 6-year-old can understand it, you got a good start!

Example: "Dictator Putin invaded Ukraine, a sovereign democratic country."

Why would he do that? Coz he wants to conquer Europe.

Simple!

The Empire of Chaos is on a roll 🧵

Geopolitical events in Syria, Ukraine, Bangladesh have proved that the US deep state has not lost its Midas touch for coups, color revolutions, and proxy wars.

But it does not guarantee the extension of the American Century. Here's why:

First, the plan to conquer “7 countries in 5 years” was delayed, but is still progressing relentlessly. That's a huge strategic win for the globalists.

What’s next for the Galactic American/Israeli Empire?

Answer: Iran

Remember that Iran, Russia and China are the last three obstacles to global domination by the US.

However, the US has failed to collapse the Russian economy after nearly three years of unprecedented sanctions and proxy war.

Putin has effectively defeated the combined forces of US, EU and NATO. Russia's economy is now larger than that of Germany (in PPP GDP); Putin is popular as ever at home; and the Global South has embraced Russia closer.

Use of chemical weapons in Syria. Short 🧵

When it comes to use of chemical weapons, the mainstream narrative has amnesia.

The "rebels" - Al Qaeda, ISIS, HTS, Al Nusra, FSA - have produced and used sarin, chlorine and mustard gas in Iraq and Syria for a long time.

#Assad

Many chemical attacks were staged or faked by the jihadists in Syria.

Like this one in Khan Sheikhoun in 2017 was staged to force Trump to respond.

A little pothole on a remote road was supposed to be a chemical weapon attack. And a guy wearing sandals and exposed body gathering "evidence."

In Douma, Syria, there was another claim of "Assad using chemical weapons" in 2018.

When the reporters from OAN, an American alternative news channel, went to the town, people told the reporter that the chemical attack was a hoax.
