(comment: keep in mind this comes from a socialist leaning writer that sees the US as an imperialistic nation and that capitalism is the enemy of mankind. But, through the bias views the author does come across with some interesting and insightful observations. GE)
Excerpts:
In the last 30 years, while the wealth of corporates such as pharmaceuticals, defence industry, banks, media, IT, film industry and others was multiplied, little heed was paid to alleviate the living standards of the downtrodden. The war merchants stoked 13 wars and spent $ 14.2 trillion to keep the defence industries run profitably. Over 30 countries became the victims of US aggressive policies of sanctions, blockades, restrictions and intervention. The US annual defence budget shot up to $ 750 billion in 2019, and the US leaders operated under the concept of ‘might is right’ and above the law. Real power rested in the hands of the corporate oligarchs and their appointed political managers administrating the state. Profiteering and maximizing profits became the rules of business of the corporates.

While the opulent became enormously wealthy and controlled over 50% of the global wealth, the government of USA became debt ridden and today it tops the list of debtors, with maximum debt owed to its chief rival China. People of USA are the most taxed and most exploited by the dirty rich. Over 50% of US population has been pauperized due to heavy taxation, price hike, joblessness..
After concocting 9/11, War on Terror was launched by the US and its allies to control the world resources, change the boundaries of Middle East, neo-colonise the Muslim world, and to maintain its unchallenged supremacy over the globe by turning the world into a global village. International media and hybrid war were used extensively to brainwash the elite groups in each country. Ethnicity, sectarianism, instability and lawlessness were fomented through proxies and covert operations, religious divides accentuated and tensions between state institutions stoked with a view to create chaotic conditions and to melt down economies of the targeted countries. Defiant rulers were bumped off and replaced with puppets.
The US had started the war on terror to achieve hidden objectives, but after spending over $ 7 trillion, it not only failed to achieve its objectives, it has no clue how to end the war and exit honorably. In the last global recession in 2008, the US suffered a loss of $ 19.2 trillion and the Americans lost 34 million jobs.
Iran laced with effective missile power and capable of destroying Israel is anti-US and Israel. Pakistan, Iran and Turkey are a cause of disquiet for the imperialist powers and giving them sleepless nights.
Amidst the darkened clouds of uncertainty and disorder in various parts of the world, corona virus came as a bolt from the blue which has further slumped the economies and growth capabilities of the developing and under developed worlds. The global economy and stock exchange have also been badly bruised due to suspension of air, sea, rail and road transportation and the supply chains. Curb on trade and business has closed the factories, mills, industries, shopping centres, hoteling and tourism. Peace of mind of the people and their daily routine has been severely impacted.
There have been a number of conspiracy theories making rounds that hint at the COVID-19 as a biological weapon, deliberately developed and disseminated. This theory looks plausible with countries working on developing biological and chemical weapons programs of their own. The theories range from the US accusing China of spreading it, to the Chinese accusing the US of deliberate spread in Wuhan, as well as it being a plot by UK, US and Israel... Some Western sources have claimed that Wuhan Virology Institute is linked to Beijing’s covert bioweapon program. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian claimed in a tweet that US military brought COVID-19 during Military World Games that took place in Wuhan in October 2019.

Two and two are being put together and missing links of the chain are being traced to discover the big game. For the conspirators wanting to monopolize the world, sinking the economies of China and Russia, the two strategic partners, has become a compulsion.
With every passing day, new revelations are surfacing which are causing fear. Social media is coming out with stories that the secret planners belonging to Illuminati are feverishly planning to control the world, depopulate the world, and mind control the left over population through a new vaccine in which micro Nano chip will be planted. Idea is to introduce cashless digital currency, establish an international government and rule the world. Recently, ex PM of UK Gordon Brown floated the idea of international government.
