Can Trump Control the Golems?
As a New York investor, Trump is probably familiar with the concept of a golem. A golem is a little model made of clay or wood, that somehow godlike, you breathe life into. Your golem is to be your obedient and profitable little servant, and yet it often becomes an uncontrollable nightmare, for you and everyone else.
Golem fables remind us that when imperfect humans play God, things happen. Sometimes these things are hilarious, as in the tale of The Gingerbread Man, or horrifying and deadly as in the more dark Russian version, The Clay Boy.
If you clicked to watch Paul Gobey’s rendition of the The Clay Boy, your first thought might be, “Why, this is a story about Volodymyr Zelensky!” Note to Trump: The little goat who freed the people of this scourge was honored by having his horns painted a lovely golden color.
The current US president is not a wise goat who saves the village – even if that was his campaign promise in a nutshell. The golems that plague us today grew from not-yet-post-colonial Europe, from a yearning for yesteryear by a monstrosity of bureaucratic parasites, by pride and greed. They are also American-made clay boys, made to serve Washington, to enrich Washington by extending US military power, and more specifically to subsidize the growing US military sector, which today is responsible for 43% of the global weapons market. How else can NATO circa 2025 be explained?
How else can the European Union’s depressing productivity since its formation in 1993 be understood? The chart at this link is shown in current US dollars, which has lost 55% of its value since 1993. It appears as if our golems have eaten everything they can, and are still hungry.
The Ukraine problem and Zelensky et al are symptoms of European golems created by men decades ago. NATO was always a servant to war, not peace. War and the threat of war energizes and feeds the state, against the wishes and interests of those designated to be sacrificed to it.
Once life was breathed into these man-made models, they grew powerful, insatiable, while retaining all of their original stupidity, animality and immorality. Their robotic, anti-human nature is persistent and predictable.
Golems, especially the monstrous ones, are featured in much of our mo
