From bullying to gunshots

What electoral passions in the United States indicate and how the White House may change its course in the future

The events of July 2024 resemble a surreal detective film with action thriller elements. What is behind the assassination attempt on the ex-president of the United States?

Fight for a king’s ransom

First, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán held talks in Russia and China. Then, his meeting with US presidential candidate Donald Trump followed at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida. 
The conservative political elites of the West did not appreciate Hungary’s peace initiatives and began to blame and put pressure on official Budapest. Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sharply criticised Donald Trump for meeting with the Hungarian Prime Minister, “It is horrifying to see the leader of a major American party align with foreign autocrats like Viktor Orbán. Trump is telling you exactly who he is here. His idea of ‘peace’ is to give Putin exactly what he wants.”
Viktor Orbán in an interview with The Financial Times stated that Donald Trump would quickly demand peace talks between Russia and Ukraine if he wins November’s US presidential election. Following his mission to Russia, the United States, China and Ukraine, the Hungarian Prime Minister sent proposals on the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict to the leaders of the EU countries. The draft was also handed over to Moscow, Kiev, Washington, London and Beijing. A number of publications listed the key points of the proposals made. First, the plan envisages signing a ceasefire as soon as possible and without preconditions. Secondly, it specifies the exchange of prisoners based on the ‘all for all’ formula according to the lists of the UN, Kiev and Moscow. Thirdly, a buffer zone must be created.  
Such peace initiatives and positions, however, run counter to the efforts of the Biden team, the corporate elites of the United States and Great Britain, who are focused on snatching a king’s ransom while maintaining the war on the territory of Ukraine. 
As a result, Orbán was exposed to pan-European bullying, while Trump, by some unfathomable coincidence, faced an absolutely weird assassination attempt — ‘weird’ due to the absence of attention from the intelligence services to the shooter on the roof of the building and his imminent murder. 

Fed and theatre of many actors

South China Morning Post has written that official Beijing tried to convince the EU to accept the plan of the People’s Republic of China and Brazil to resolve the Ukrainian crisis. A joint memorandum stating the need to hold negotiations as the only way out of the crisis was signed between the two countries in May 2024. Beijing invited European countries to consider it before the conference in Switzerland. But Biden, Clinton, Obama and their corporations do not need any peace! 
The lack of common sense and outright belligerence of the Democrats frightens not only the whole world but also the ‘deep state’ in the United States. Consequently, the choice of Trump as a presidential candidate and ardent Trump supporter J.D. Vance as a vice president on behalf of the Republican Party has already become predictable and natural. It is clear that some of the political and corporate elites have decided to move away from shaky Biden and his team and move towards greater pragmatism in relations with Europe, Russia and China. 
Still, who is conducting global processes anyway? Many agree that the US Federal Reserve System, aka the Fed, has the last word now. It is on this private financial corporation that the so-called ‘power’ of the United States rests. 
It is the Fed that controls the operation of the entire mechanism on dollar enslavement of the world. Biden has not justified the money invested in him on the Ukraine project: Europe is becoming increasingly more independent (the Orbán effect), Russia has not collapsed, and China has not become a semi-colony of the Anglo-Saxons.The Biden project has failed. It is necessary to move away from the war and continue waging trade wars against the main competitor of the United States — China. Trump is a suitable presidential candidate for this taking into account that he has already done this before. Further pressure on China will make it possible to ensure the outflow of global investments from the Celestial Empire to the United States, including the relocation of production, as well as to the United States Treasury securities.  
Therefore, the current ‘theatre’ with the participation of Trump and Biden is a mere game of financial structures focused on preserving the hegemony of the United States and the dollar on the global stage as a crucial tool for its unlawful enrichment at the expense of the rest of humanity. 

US President Joe Biden announced on Sunday, July 21st, that he would not seek a second term from the Democratic Party, but intends to serve out the remainder of his term in office to the end. Biden has endorsed the candidacy of Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee in the November 2024 presidential election.
