DEMOCRATIC AMERICA IS BEING TESTED – PART V
Billionaires – forget millionaires – of all ethnic groups pop up almost every month. They not only have tons of money in their control, but also time, ample time, because those new billionaires are so young. The old money knows that real power will soon shift to these younger rich kids who unfortunately do not belong to the old hierarchy and do not answer their beck and call. They don’t need to climb the tree because they don’t need to look into the house; they are building their own house. The system that has been created and built meticulously to protect and serve the old guards’ interest does not seem to work as intended.
The banking system has been not just the circulatory system regulating the life blood of the world economy but also the U.S.’s weapon for control. But now, there has been talk, and even effort, to move the money transactions out of the banking system. With technology and science having made progress so fast and so frequently, the old guards are wary of this new wealth and new knowledge, and the potential loss of their control.
And then, there is another threat. The “ah so” Chinese, the mocking image of weak Orientals suitable for nothing but being servants to the white families, suddenly shattered that image and have become formidable competitors against the West in every aspect of life including technology, computer science, economic activities, arts, architecture, movie making, and even ballet dancing. Now the West says “jump”, the Chinese do not meekly say “how high” but shoot back with “excuse me?”, a strongly backboned and proud attitude that is alarming.
The threat might still be far away, but the old guards wanted to pre-empt and fight back immediately. And they needed allies.
Thus, a coalition had been formed between the extremists and the old guards preceding the political tsunami of 2016 that was when the coalition found a spokesperson so natural in the racist language and racist manner as to be extremely persuasive to the white population. It was, and still is, a formidable coalition that has effectively swayed the thinking of so many Americans. That is why 74,000,000 Americans voted for that coalition’s representative even after four disastrous years with him at the helm.
