American Godzilla
America’s Legacy Of Monsters And The Rise Of The MAGA-Monarch
Part 1: Revelation
When Donald J. Trump announced his candidacy for the office of the American President in 2015, it seemed a joke to many. After all, he had done so prior yet nothing much came from it. Contrary to popular opinion, the image of the man presented today is not a snapshot fashioned overnight. This is a portrait that was created and curated over a long period of time. An American tapestry woven together by one golden thread in particular: The theme of America’s perceived decline. Present day Trump’s soliloquies about the great swindle by China, the EU and others is very similar to a Trump that eons ago bellowed out a similar message, albeit, with regard to the Japanese and Kuwaiti governments.
Trump’s induction into the scene created a seismic shift in American politics. Politics was no longer the haunt of alleged war criminals. Criminals whose appearances had been sanitised for an American and global audience by a compliant and complicit media. Politics became unfiltered. Topics that were once taboo became mainstream and the media’s ability to make and break candidates was permanently diminished. President George Bush’s culpability in the Weapons Of Mass Destruction hoax was no longer sacrosanct as was President Obama’s illegal regime change war in Libya. When pressured to drop out of the race due to the leaked Access Hollywood tape President Trump fought hard and fast bringing to light President Clinton’s accusers.
Part 2: Containment
After a Trump Presidency became inevitable, America’s corrupt intelligence agencies concocted a scheme to tie Trump’s candidacy to the Russian government. Not only was there no evidence of collusion between a then candidate Trump and the Russian government, Inspector General Horowitz found that the FBI flouted their own rules and norms in pursuing Trump. It seems there was an almost religious zeal in anti-Trump mania that consumed the bureau all the while ripping America asunder. This macabre fairytale hobbled the Trump Presidency and made diplomacy with Russia almost impossible. It created a pernicious zealotry amongst some Americans who suffered a stinging loss in the 2016 Presidential election. A loss that in their view could only be explained by myths of collusion. These mild delusions festered into open hatred for the Russians and ultimately the continuance of the cataclysmic proxy war in Eastern Europe at the expense of Ukrainian lives.
After Mr. Biden’s ascension to the oval office, many celebrated a return to normalcy for the esteemed office. In reality, the past four years of the phantom Biden presidency have proven to be anything but normal. Chaos seeded across the world from Middle East to Eastern Europe as the adults were finally back in charge. A stark contrast to the prior four years of relative peace across the globe. While the culture of American Presidents is one of War Criminality, a generational curse which also nestled in the Trump White House, all things considered, it was a fairly peaceful time. He was after all the first American President in recent history to not start a new war.
Undeterred by the loss of the 2020 election, President Trump filed his intent to run for office once more in November 2022. Having breached containment protocol, a wave of new attacks soon followed. President Trump was assaulted by wave after wave of legal machinations. From the boxes hoax to the rape hoax. Yet, his anchor sunk deeper and firmly moored onto sure ground with the electorate. While it may have not been evident to talking heads on media circuits and their audiences, it was evident to many that the legal system was being abused to specifically target President Trump and his supporters. Activist judges and a media machine willing to misinform the public confirmed the biases of many of his detractors. He was after all in their view unelectable. Then the inevitable happened. He won in a landslide in both popular and electoral college votes. For years, many had marinaded in the propaganda stewed and spewed forth by the legacy media. Thoroughly cooking in lies. Oblivious to the fact that his victory was far more likely than not. With the loss of twitter, now X, the media could no longer remake Trump into a particular caricature du jour. More Americans could see him as he is. Uncensored and unfiltered.
Part 3: Acceptance
It is now evident more than ever that there is an unelected fourth branch of the American government. One that has fomented strife both domestically and abroad for the past few decades. A shadow government whose head broached the surface during the Russia Collusion hoax and continued unabated with the political persecution of dissidents on American soil over the past few years. All the while being cheerled by the legacy media apparatus. Monsters whose only legacy has been the immiseration of humanity. President Trump has been re-elected with a very clear mandate: to bring down these corrupt American institutions. To tear them down brick by brick and in their place set up institutions loyal to the American people and subsequently the common good. Thus far, his cabinet and staff picks for the most part seem to be individuals on board with this herculean task of taking down the fabled Deep State Hydra. Naturally, this beast will not go down without a fight. Hopefully, the Trump that has emerged from the fires of political persecution over the past four years is wiser and more skilful this second time round. A true Godzilla.
