Donald Trump Is The Empire Unmasked by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

The hood stays popped open the entire time, showing the whole world how the imperial sausage gets made.

During his inaugural address, the new president of the United States was refreshingly open about the fact that Washington,D.C. is the hub of a continuously expanding empire which is ruled by billionaire plutocrats.

As Joe Lauria highlighted for Consortium News, President Trumps speech included references to the "manifest destiny" of America, saying that under his presidency the United States will consider itself a nation that "expands our territory". He waxed fondly about the settler-colonialist past which established the country at the expense of the people who were already living there, and vowed to take control of the Panama Canal.

Donald Trump gave this speech to an audience where the wealthiest people on earth sat alongside his own cabinet in the best seats in the house. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai were seen together in the crowd among the more official members of the incoming administration. Israeli-American Trump megadonor Miriam Adelson, who according to Trump helped dictate United States policy toward Israel during his first term, was seen sitting among Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the Clintons at the inauguration. There will reportedly be no fewer than 13 billionaires with official roles in the new Trump administration.

US President Donald Trump invited the worlds richest billionaire oligarchs to sit at the center of his inauguration.

If you were to twist my arm and force me to say something positive about Donald Trump, this is the sort of thing I would point to. He makes the United States empire much more transparent and unhidden. He removes its mask and reveals the twisted face beneath it.

The United States is not suddenly ruled by billionaires now that Trump is president; it was already ruled by billionaires. The United States is not suddenly an empire bent on global domination now that Trump has been sworn in; that was already the case. But you are not supposed to just come right out and say that.

Well, Trump comes right out and says it. He says the quiet parts out loud. He is the only president who will openly boast that United States troops are in Syria to keep the oil or lament that they failed to take the oil from Venezuela, or just come right out and tell everyone he is bought and owned by Zionist oligarchs. He puts much less effort into disguising the true nature of the United States empire than other presidents.

That is the only reason various factions of Americas unofficial permanent government have had objections to Trumps presidency over the years. It is not because he presents a threat to the establishment or because he is trying to bring down the deep state, it is because he is viewed as a poor custodian of the empire. He either does not understand or does not care about the importance of keeping a polite face on the imperial machine.

If I were forced to say something positive about Trump, that would be it. The thing some United States empire managers dislike about him is the only thing I like about him: that he makes the United States empire a less effective evil because of how much less hidden he keeps the inner workings of the machine. The hood stays popped open the entire time, showing the whole world how the imperial sausage gets made.

ASTONISHING article in TIME about how the Biden administration never had any intention or even desire to help Ukraine win, and was always just going to step away at its behest at some point. We all "knew" this but to have it confirmed is important. "please see here:" - Kit Klarenberg (KitKlarenberg) January 20, 2025

Not that there have not been plenty of mask-off moments during the dementia-muddled chaos of the Biden administration as well. A new article in Time titled "Why Bidens Ukraine Win Was Zelenskys Loss" is a good example of this; the report cites a former member of Bidens National Security Council saying that victory for Ukraine was never part of the Biden administrations plan.

The opening paragraph reads as follows:

“When Russia invaded Ukraine nearly three years ago, President Joe Biden set three objectives for the United States response. Ukraines victory was never among them. The phrase the White House used to describe its mission at the time - supporting Ukraine "for as long as it takes" - was intentionally vague. It also raised the question: As long as it takes to do what?"

"Ukraines victory was never among them."

Talk about a mask-off moment. It has long been clear that the United States pushed Ukraine into an unwinnable war with the goal of bleeding and preoccupying Moscow, and that it actively sabotaged peace negotiations in the early days of the war in order to pursue these goals. Now that the job has been done and the demented meat puppet is out of office, we are finally hearing it from Bidens own handlers in his administration.

And of course there was Gaza, where the world spent 15 months watching historys first live-streamed genocide right in front of their faces while western officials made nonstop excuses of less and less believability. If there is to be any good to come from that incomprehensibly horrific nightmare, it is that it has shown everyone the true face of the empire.

The more glimpses people get of the true face of the empire, the less effective the imperial propaganda becomes, because propaganda only works if you believe it.

The primary obstacle to revolutionary change under the western empire is the fact that its citizenry have been successfully propagandized into accepting the status quo.

The more people open their eyes to the fact that we are ruled by psychopaths who are driving us to our doom on multiple fronts, the closer we get to a collective movement toward a healthy world!
