The Dark Weeks Of Early April that Killed American ‘Democracy’-The Rise of Trump’s New Empire
KC Shoen
The CoronaVirus Election Primary has now produced a sole challenger in Joseph Robinette Biden Jr to take on Donald Trump in November, now that Senator Bernie Sanders has faded away into the stratosphere of end-game mediocrity after a meteoric start in January, exiting his campaign with a quiet whimper (as has become his signature manner of losing). April 9th was the official funeral of the Sanders campaign, although it had died immediately after Super Tuesday a month prior, in March.
Biden, a necrotic mastodon of American Militarism and toxic, racist masculinity, through his vast adroit ineptness of semi-conscious, pre-alzheimer's onset blunberbussing stumbled just long enough for the establishment to allow him to continue to represent the non-progressive, anti-working class, Wall Street-sponsored ‘Democratic Party’. Completely incognizant, without moral compassing, (and, as was recently learned, allegedly assaulting a woman sexually in 1993), Ol’ Dirty Joe the Anti-Negro has been given a pass to go after the other misogynist lying asshole who represents the “Republican Party’ for the right to be given 4 year ticket to the White House, to fuck up the already-dysfunctional US Federal Government further, and lavish his corporate masters with more bennies and goodies like every president before him since Nixon, being the good corporate whore that he is…
There is one problem however. There will not be an ‘election’ this November. Period.
These first two weeks of April in the worst 'year our Lord' in recent human history, will begin the point where all the dynamics as mentioned below converged and combusted, sending the US directly into authoritarianism under Donald John Trump.
On April 10th 2020, the US had recorded 2000 deaths in one day from CoVID19, it’s deadliest yet. The Huffington Post lead photo on its main page were of prisoners on work detail burying bodies in basic pine coffins and placing them in a mass grave on Hart Island in New York.
All taken, it was punctuated with over 500,000 confirmed cases that same day, nearly half of the world total (according to JohnsHopkins Coronavirus map, which is updated by over 100+ plus countries in real time )
Trump, up to this point, was beginning to get squeezed by an irritated press corp whom had grown tired of his daily affirmations of self-absorption, circumvention of accountability, emphatic and senseless ranting at specific reporters during his ‘corona virus briefings’ , and turning these into a sideshow to boast of his pseudo-magnanimous being, intelligence and how his ratings are better than The Bachelorette. On April 11th , Trump was backed into a corner , tired , haggard , and having to simultaneously traverse around these death tolls and still manage plausible deniability, protect his cronies and still be the smartest boomer in the room. It is the most solemnly exhausted he has ever appeared...
4 days prior on April 7th, 2020 California Governor Gavin Newsome, frustrated that needed N95 face masks for medical personal and ventilators were not being delivered by the Trump administration with any urgency, given the state’s escalating death count from CoVID19, declared California a ‘nation-state’, meaning the state retained the right to skirt Federal law for the sake of its survival and well being in accordance with the US Constitution. Governor Newsome also detailed how he would coordinate support of materials to other states such as Illinois and New York (both of whom are facing steep shortages in desperately needed ventilators) with any excess inventory that California may possess and manufacture , through new and direct outsourcing agreements the state has already made with manufacturers in China, and doing so without Federal oversight nor funding.
The declaration is based upon John C Calhoun’s theory of the nullification of Federal compliance due to a crisis in democracy within the State. It is ironic how a pro-slavery vice president from the 1820’s is a direct genesis of this approach is being utilized in the liberal kingdom of California, but in the Gilded Age of The Corrupted Elites, action had to be taken. While this has had some traction in the mainstream media, it is staggeringly significant in that it could signify the end of the Union of the United States as a result of the pandemic, due largely from the Trump administration’s anemic, recalcitrant, and careless response, with California potentially being the first state to exit.
Coupled with this incredible possibility, on April 11th several more governors rendered serious concerns of competency about the administration responsiveness, merged with the equally historic fact, that on the same day, and the for the first time in US history every state and territory under US jurisdiction declared for federal disaster relief simultaneously.
Another gut punch to Trump's staggering ego was confirmed research that the Corona virus spreading ferociously through the US primarily originated from Europe. Cases had been 'indexed' and it was noted that, particularly when Italy went into emergency lockdown, is when the virus began to take root. The administration had failed to secure flights emanating from Europe, and thus, deter entry as a whole until it was too late. The insurgent (and unencumbered) flights arriving at the eastern seaboard would decimate New York with ravaging abandon. Trump's usual defiance in the face of fact took a more defensive tone, challenging the empirical evidence as nothing more than conspiratorial reporting. His favorite target, China , was at this very point on April 2nd, taken away from him through detailed research and, later, indexing of confirmed source cases of the European strain of SARS CoV-2. The virus most copiously did begin in China, but was not the epicenter the United States, where ⅔ of the first American cases were initially traced back to Italy and European territories. China was found to be less than a ⅓ , while other US states made up the remaining source of the virus.
On April 13th, 8 state governors (including the California Governor), in response to Trump's insistence that he will ‘open the states’ at his discretion, banded together to release a collective statement that the states themselves will determine what and when it is best to open their borders and revive their local economies. Later that afternoon, President Trump bellowed with great defiance that indeed he is “full control’ of the states decision, his “authority is total”and will “write up papers on this”. Both he and his crony staff repetitively reaffirmed this Constitutionally incorrect assertion before the press.
Just prior to the Governors defiance of Trump on that same day, Trump's accelerated delirium and fear of his damaged ego proved no more palpable than in these two tweets delivered nearly 24 hours of each other.
Between these two tweets, there were approximately 16 addressing only his reactions to the media and his continuing defensive posture about the Coronavirus.
16 installments of narcissistic, pedantic, feverish solipsism-peppered ignorant canards, all in defense of his precious thin skin. This particular set is especially unsettling, however, as it is punctuated with a direct reference to his ‘working hard’ against the “corruption and dishonesty” in the media...
Lügenpresse
This thematic attribute was embraced by not only the Goebbels propaganda machine to the benefit of the Nazi regime, but by the US ‘alt-right’ political fringe, who still have legitimacy of influence among the Trump faithful. Trump's assertion about having “total authority”, as previously stated, is not within the framework of the United States Constitution, but can lawfully be used in the suspension of Habeas Corpus for emergency reasons, under Article 1 Section 9, known more specifically as the Insurrection Act.
Trump has the authority under this emergency provision, when the threat of civil unrest hinders the ability of the execution of the rule of law by the courts and local law enforcement. Otherwise known as martial law: the direct take-over of states and local municipalities to enforce order as deemed necessary by the Executive Branch, for an indefinite period of time. And, as with nearly every ‘free’ nation on Earth, this ‘failsafe’ allows suspension of the Constitution indefinitely as well.
Trump is in trouble right now: The death toll keeps climbing, state governors are rebelling against the administration's iniquitous and incompetent responses and threatening to go it alone, the press is fatigued with his bloated and cowardly megalomania, now openly needling him despite his bellicose and brutish strongman shtick, the Union is coming undone, and the United States for the first since the 1930s will experience a monumental Great Depression unlike anything ever experienced in our lifetimes. Moreover, the disastrous handling of the Corona virus exposed the US as being nothing more than manicured, well-decorated banana republic where its citizenry have allowed 97% of the country’s wealth to be held by 3% of the population, letting their government to create policy to be tailored and sold to the largest private enterprises and the highest bid possible for personal gain.
Trump didn't create some of this, but his legacy as the 45th President of The United States is directly impacted. As a man who is incessantly obsessive over his image and desperately craves adulation for every movement he makes, he will not surrender any narrative that can plausibly indict him for his malfeasance. Like several anti-intellectual and untalented billionaires he has been classed with, to have his personae defaced and disenfranchised by the unbiased records of history will not be tolerated by him, no quarter.
Trump does not care about any human life outside of his own, hates the working class and ethnic minorities, has a staunch hatred of science, and hinges his political future on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The only tolerable outcome where he can retake his ‘lost advantage’ and control how history is recorded of him is by taking total control of the United States and those who would dare speak or write the truth against him, as King Donald the First.
There will be no elections in November 2020, America. And if so, it will be for the coronation of your new King. And do not dare savage his name as there will be prisons and detention centers that await you….
