The Great deception, part 1
Men of the people my arse!
The greatest scam of the last 50 years was perpetrated first on voters in the UK, then on their counterparts in the USA.
The British electorate were left with no option but to vote for a Labour party so far removed from the core values of the great working class movement it is supposed to represent that they are now governed by a Tory party in all but name.
In true Tory party style the red wing are reneging on election promises and enshrining the blue rinse policies that they have spent the last decade criticising as undemocratic, elitist and illegal!
The mantra anyone but the Tories could be heard all across the UK in the run up to the 2024 election and many now see bankrupt, ex city broker and public school educated Nigel Farage as the alternative to the mainstream offering!
How bitter the irony!
There can be no coincidence that Farage has been lightning quick in extolling the virtues of President elect Donald Trump as our cousins across The Pond wake up to the reality that they too have been scammed into believing that their new ‘leader’ is a knight in, albeit, tarnished armour, ready to break the control of a mainstream system quite understandably seen as corrupt, elitist and under the control of the corporation backed CIA - Dept of defence alliance.
The similarities between the hypocrisy of the Reform Party leader championing himself as the new working class hero and the current head of the Republican party promising to fight for the average American are startling.
Let’s look at the facts.
Donald Trump claims to be a self made millionaire, proof that the American dream is still alive.
The reality is that without a half billion dollar silver spoon from his father, Trump’s American dream would never have made it past the first round to apprentice level!
As for his business acumen, in spite of some success in the property market and his income from TV show The Apprentice, America’s future leader has displayed staggering bad judgement in the business world with no less than 6 of his companies filing for bankruptcy.
Of course The future president claims these were actually sound business decisions and allowed him to keep the business trading, providing jobs for hard working Americans. He conveniently fails to address the multi millions lost by shareholders who found, to their detriment, that the American dream often only really exists for those at the top of the food chain.
Surely the man who promises to make America great again agrees that all citizens should pay their tax bill ?
Clearly not.
In the New York Times’ report on the then former president's tax affairs, published in 2020 we learnt that of the 18 years audited, Donald Trump paid no federal tax. Zero. Zip.
In 2016 and 2017 he paid $750
Admittedly this is partly the result of clever accounting and may not in itself constitute criminal activity. How much of a consolation this will be to the average American earner who in 2021 paid $14,279, remains to be seen.
Apparently it's perfectly acceptable to take advantage of mainstream lawyers and accountants?
Whilst on the subject of criminal activity let's look at the next resident of the White House's rap sheet.
As of the 30th of May 2024, Donald Trump is a convicted felon and we aren't talking unpaid parking tickets here!
The 45th and 47th President of the United States of America whose motto is ‘In God We Trust ', was convicted of falsifying business records over hush money payments, bribes in working class terms, to a porn star. The man who claims to have been appointed by God seemingly doesn't pay much attention to God’s message!
Oh and about using the privilege of wealth and power, along with mainstream laws inaccessible to the working class, Trump has paid millions of dollars in settling fraud cases involving the now defunct Trump University as well as for over-stating his wealth in order to illegally obtain loans.
At least in the UK when a Prime Minister lies in office they are removed from said office, not re-appointed!
That brings us to the crux of this article. There we have the great scam. The biggest con-trick in modern history. The most successful pulling of wool over the eyes of the very ordinary citizens President Trump says he will fight for.
How in the name of fake tan, did a man who we KNOW said it's ok to grab women by the pussy, manage to convince female voters that he would make life better for them and their daughters?
How did the man who lied to the US when he stated as a matter of fact that immigrants were eating peoples household pets, gain a large percentage of votes from immigrants?
How did the convicted felon who lied about being a self made American dream success story convince over 50% of the American public that HE would make America great again. Whilst avoiding and or evading paying millions of dollars in taxes that could have been used to build hospitals, schools and provide employment for working class Americans.
It's simple.
Donald Trump is the preferred candidate of the 1%
Donald Trump is bought and paid for by the very mega corporations whose control over the lives of hard working Americans he has sworn to break.
Donald Trump IS the mainstream. At least the puppet of the mainstream.
In part 2 of this series we will look at who the 1% are, what they do and how they came to control both the UK and US governments.
