Today Billy Bob and I will be talking to Indi Samarajiva about his recent article claiming that Trump is the manager selected to the presidency to manage the country’s “bust.” But is he right?
Here’s his conclusion.
In this sense, Trump is the perfect bag-man for the end of the ‘American’ experiment, running a country like a business and using liberal philosophy as marketing. Trump had no political experience, his first elected office was President. And he has a lot of experience with bankruptcy and fraud in many ways (from Trump Water to Trump Air to Trump Casinos) that is his business. And of course it’s not just Trump.
Obama busted people out of their homes and bailed out banks. He pretended to give them healthcare while actually entrenching the insurance companies. Biden busted-out the entire nation of Ukraine to unload expiring military supplies, and accellerated the genocide of Palestine as a going-out-of-business firepower sale and cut off the brief rise in living standards post-COVID to get back to business. They represent ‘America’ as much as Trump. This is the business of colonialism, and every US President is just a paid spokesman.
We are now at the stage in Goodfellas where they light a match to the restaurant and drive away. We are witnessing a last orgy of insider trading and profiting on controlled volatility while the strategic reserve of oil is emptied and even the home economy is hollowed out within. The peripheries of Empire are getting busted-out first but make no mistake, the whole thing is going bust. This is, inshallah, the end of it all. There’s no more out to bust, and no more leverage to be bought.
People may be like ‘this is bad for America!’ or ‘this is bad for Americans’ but this misses the point entirely. What do y’all have to do anything? You’re like the customers or workers of a company being bust-out by the Mafia, irrelevant. Colonialism was bad for everybody else in the world and after the colonizers ran through us, the colonial core is getting their just desserts in the end.
As Malcolm X said, chickens coming home to roost never made me feel bad, they always made me feel glad. Go cluck yourself, to put it indelicately. ‘America’ started as a scam by oligarchs and ends in a scam run by ‘private equity’. Call it the bust-out of the ‘United States’, the LBO of ‘America’, ‘America’s’ death throes by any other name would still reek.

This one is the best podcast you have done, and this indi.ca guy is a great guest, and I plan to read more of his substack.
Could it be that the bust out operation is being run on the Earth in general?
Edward S., It's not impossible, I've even speculated on that several times before here.
