of a New Hitler – When the Centre no longer holds.

More than a dozen years ago these writers were denounced when
we suggested to those who locate themselves at the center of Caribbean thought
that the United States of America was a fascist empire, at its nadir. That financialization
had delivered all forms of western capitalism to conditions not dissimilar to
Germany 1933. It was a period when fascism, as a social movement, gained ascendency.
That unparrelled consolidation of wealth had united global elites into a
neo-fascism. Some say an ‘inverted totalitarianism’. Others still, a
neo-feudalism.
As the irony of ironies would have it, another German has
been thrown up by the leading plutocrats to be appropriately hailed. Haile Drumpf!
Not unlike Adolf, Donald Trump, is garnering up to 50% of Republican support, nationally
– about 25% of potential American voters. He may also attract significant ‘White’,
Democratic Party supporters as well. The Democratic Party is no less rooted in
racism, ‘White’ supremacy, than the Republicans. So we see a convergence of ‘White’
social forces around Trump. We have a perverse, conjoining of interests,
between the shifting definitions of what ‘Whiteness’ and ‘White’ power are to
mean and the distanced-elites, including honorary ‘Whites’, who are ceasing
control of larger and larger swaths of global wealth. Few will contest that
there has been a massive consolidation of economic and political power into the
same (few) hands. For this is the classical definition of fascism, neo-fascism!
What they do have in common is the determination that the
political establishment can neither or for not much longer, protect the elites
nor feed the masses of Euro-Americans - poor ‘Whites’, ‘Whites’ being forced
out of the middle classes. For Trump, a political commitment to the Klu Klux
Klan, even telepathically, is no different to his view that ‘Whiteness’, in
America, ‘White’ supremacy, is under an existential threat as the most recent
Census Bureau population parameters would attest. Unless America can now
redefine Mexicans/Hispanics as ‘Whites’, as has happened before, the greatest
fear of Hitler, himself, could come true with ‘Whites’ becoming the new
‘minority’ In America – not his ‘master race’. This could be a causus belli for
another civil war, at home! Internationally, Europeans are devolving into
political-economic systems where far-right and far-left elements act to
recreate circumstances this world well knows. These circumstances could only aid
the emergence of another Dajjal.
Mainstream commentators are struggling to contextualize the political,
social, campaign of Trump. He seems to have tricked CNN and other majors with
his reluctance to buy an acceptable level of ads in exchange for met demands
which included provision of free 24/7 initial promotion, payment for
appearances, promotions which have made Trump the stingiest leading candidate
of recent times. Could it be a coincidence that all major news networks would
promote Trump ahead of others with significant more political ‘pedigree’? Could
we be witnessing the end of an epoch? Or is Kaiser Drumpf a natural outgrowth
of 500 years of state-sponsored terrorism by Europeans?
And how is it possible for Hitler to abuse women, preach
racial hatred, pretend to change his opinions without notice – on a whim and
without paying a political price, tell repetitive lies about creating jobs when
he really means higher profits, for his friends. For the institutions of a modern
Goebbels allow Trump to perfect the dark arts of propaganda. A propaganda
system which is more central to life in the 21st century than it was
post 1933, a system no less vicious than proxy war itself, an information war
against the people, people who consistently overestimate their own
intelligence. We all shamelessly serve systems we don’t understand.
Of course, Trump is not running alone, although he, most
times, so acts. As Kaiser he holds no
particular fear for the Clintons, Republican Party officialdom, established
(formal) political formations, other big money oligarchs like the Koch
brothers. These are the perceived qualities which appear to endear him to a
growing segment of the ‘masses’ of European-Americans. They are largely a ‘White’
working class, distanced by capitalism, unaccustomed to reductions in ‘White’
privilege and growing more fearful about their place in society. They are as misguided
as people anywhere else are made to be, time and time again.
An underlying truth is that supporters of Trump and those of
Sanders understand that something fundamentally is wrong with their political-economy.
Are unsure about its causation but could be led to blame people of colour,
‘undocumented aliens’ as coded language for their racist intent. We wonder if
Drumpf would remember when Germans in America were NOT ‘White’, nor Italians,
nor Irish and several other national groups. That racist discourse passes under
the guise of ‘illegal migration’. Still, they continue to believe that by somehow
making an appeal to the center for ‘reforms’ or even ‘revolution’ they could be
successful even while the leaders of American racism see ‘final solutions’ as
the central aim. Maybe it will take one more election cycle to disabuse them of
their congenial folly. Remember Obama? How has that worked out for his rabble?
At the center, the central banks are failing. Institutional
buyers dominate stock market trading, to artificially keep them from imploding.
We live in the times of dominant shadow banks, negative interest rates,
asset-less banks, dis-inflation/deflationary spirals, the application of series
of quantitative easing (QE) since 2008 and bail-ins which bail-out too-big-to-fail
banks, stealing from the poor to make the rich whole. The Chinese are spending
billions to stabilize their markets. And we could continue to list structural
failures all day. We have predicted that only a total collapse could fix any of
this. Religious belief in the self-declared, Kaiser Drumpf, as Messiah, will be
of marginal value.
On the political side, we’ve had a series of collapses in the
American system, making it no less fragile than the economy. We’ve had attempts
to default on sovereign debt, to collapse the global reserve currency system. Many
attempts were made to bring government to a halt as if government itself were
irrelevant. These actions cannot to ‘segregated’ from the original sin that is
America and even has some similarities to the pre-1933 epoch of Hitler’s
Germany.
And Hillary Clinton could only do the same kinds of
wickedness as a Trump but with a velvet glove covering her iron fist. She likes
to think that she could out-Trump, Trump, with her warmongering. The people who
call themselves “Black” or ‘’African-American’’ must find time to re-assess
their relationships with the Democratic National Committee (DNC), the
Democratic Party. They must ask themselves what is the reason for continuing to
support an organization which cannot even stop policemen from killing Moors in
the streets, all over the USA, at will. What is this thing which the Clintons
hold over them to have them march from the pulpits to the polls, in the service
of their open oppressors, every time? What is the benefit to them? How many
times can they be corralled by leading ‘Blacks’ acting as sophisticated pimps
for the Democratic Party apparatus? Where are their just demands from the
systems they support? Why is it not revolting to them to
have Bill and Hillary Clinton run presidential campaigns in Haiti and the USA
simultaneously?
The ‘appearance’ of Herr Drumpf may best be located within
Islamic eschatology. That narrative better describes these times than its
erstwhile companions. It talks about Akhirruzaman; Gogg & Magogg; a nuclear
war; the role of Damascus; the rise of Pax-Judaica as the hyper-power; the role
of ‘Constantinople’. Have military and political conditions been prepared for
the entry of an Arrogant One, Donald Trump, as maximum patsy, who will start this
Great War? Well, the current proxy formations of powers in and around Syria may
suggest some credence to that worldview. Let’s hope that the bark of Herr
Drumpf (Herr Fuhrer) is worse than his bite or that the hidden forces behind
his emergence are exposed before billions have to die on the altar of those who
have given us many similar scenarios previously, including the rise of the
Soviet Union; WW1; WW2.
