Trump is draining the swamp into his much bigger and more beautiful golden plated swamp. It will actually be the most biggest and beautifulest swamp ever seen in the history of the world.
Let's see. Elon takes the covers off the schemes to funnel money back into democrat politics and democrats are screaming??? The PRESIDENT is saving hard working Americans billions in slush funds for democrats and RINOs and democrats are screaming. The PRESIDENT and Elon are uncovering money laundering schemes and the swamp is screaming.
I think this is well said and accurate as far as it goes. What this narrative ignores is the open acknowledgment by the Trump administration that US attempts at global hegemony (the "rules based order") are over - that they were a failure - and the world is back to the old concept of spheres of influence.
This will have massive consequences for the scope and aims of US foreign policy. The perverse trans/homosexual and mass immigration operations that became intertwined with the globalist project are done and some form of mercantilism is coming back. I am of the belief that, despite the squawking coming from the globalists, there is a sea change occurring within the US oligarchy.
For decades the US economy has been structured around hyper-financialization, information tech and global trade. With the loss of the war against Russia the savvier elements within the US power elite are beginning to recognize that a world power without a deep and robust industrial base won't remain so for long.
The fact the US has managed to maintain its global power position despite the offshoring craze of the last 30 years is due to the USD's power as investment country/currency of choice and the fact that we haven't fought a war against a peer opponent since WWII (thus allowing us to maintain the illusion of global military dominance). Now we have. In Ukraine.
They won't admit it publicly but Ukraine's military was highly proficient and provided some of the best weaponry NATO manufactures. The weapons they weren't given (like the garbage F-35 or longer range cruise missiles) wouldn't have changed the outcome and our single artillery shell plant in Pennsylvania is a joke compared to what Russia produces. Ukraine has shown anyone with eyes to see the US couldn't maintain an industrial scale war against relatively small Russia - let alone the Chinese industrial juggernaut.
This is a seismic event in world history. The globalists have lost. The neocons are finished. Of course the US will still do its sphere of influence thing and try to hold the crumbling EU together as long as it can. Our southern (and northern) neighbors will be getting extra attention again as the globalist dreams fade. Some of us would prefer amicable relations and respect for the sovereignty of our neighbors rather than a return to the Monroe Doctrine.
That said I'll take the win we're getting over nothing. What we really want to watch out for, as Americans, is the techno-dystopian projects that threatens our freedom at home.
“In other words, Rubio is fully supportive of USAID’s regime change operations around the world and his issue is that the agency does not follow U.S. imperial orders enough.”
That is not what he said. If regime change is not the goal in a certain circumstance, it should not be the rank and file determining this. It should be the president and his cabinet running the show, not the minions. There is an hierarchy.
in my opinion USAID, NED and NATO should be abolished all together. These are all tools for imperialist hegemony. Intelligence agencies are the prime movers of all the world’s problems. Citizens of the world must get together to somehow eradicate these institutions. The managers of these organizations operate under the guise of good will with no accountability. After cabinet regime change they will operate the same way under some other programs etc.. the US foreign policy disease has been a role model across the world. The only way to stop this is by stopping money creation!
Is it not plausible to suggest that the ideological cover of democracy civil society rights etc. have not been opaque enough to hide the decaying transnational liberal order and the obverse reality of the violence and exploitation of Western US Imperialism and its globalised trajectory?
These fuckers are just the admin bods for a globe spanning societal system that pumps wealth upwards. One that sees no other value than wealth. Such a system can brook no attempts at alternatives as this means there is wealth that is not flowing upwards. And as such, must be stamped out. And the admin bods reach this position within our hierarchy by simply being the most loyal to that inhumane systemic reality.
To them, it is entirely natural that this operation continues, and they are simply doing away with the now well recognised public face. It is just a rebrand. Twitter to X.
Hats off to a journalist who is happy openly to change his position on an issue and thus help broaden everyone’s perceptions. Substack at its best.
The CIA has to spend the drug profits "for the greater good". Trump appears to like bombs and direct invasion force, but the CIA likes being a ghost.

They should stop doing regime changes 🤦♀️

Possibility, no, certainty yes.
