Shahid Bolsen was serendipitously proved right — Trump-Tulsi team paraded the purported glory of US morality for all to see

Laughable serendipity?

 

What follows highlights how absurdly quickly President Trump and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard — working together — proved a searingly accurate point that Western Civilization critic, Shahid Bolsen, had made just a few days earlier.

 

 

When Americans show you who they are, believe them?

 

A few days ago, Islam-adherent Shahid Bolsen dissected American morality the following way:

 

 

Western elites and governments use familiar words—like morality, justice, and freedom—but assign them entirely different meanings than the public understands.

 

When Western leaders call Israel’s military actions "the most moral army in the world," they mean it—because their definition of "morality" is built on a worldview that dehumanizes Palestinians, Muslims, and non-Western peoples.

 

Terms like justice and values are redefined to justify violence against the oppressed.

 

Palestinian lives are not seen as fully human—so bombing hospitals, schools, and families isn’t a "crime" in their eyes.

 

Western "civilization" has always been built on extermination, enslavement, and subjugation—this is not hypocrisy, but doctrine.

 

The West isn’t contradicting itself—it’s showing you exactly who they are. Believe them.

 

This isn’t about exposing hypocrisy—it’s about recognizing that the West’s moral framework is designed to oppress.

 

When they label resistance as "terrorism," it’s because their "justice" requires your submission.

Comments appended to the above-cited video suggested that viewers had missed Bolsen's most fundamental point.

 

That proposition being, in the United States, violence and subjugation are America's moral code and not a form of double speak:

 

 

The United States presents itself as the defender of freedom, yet beneath the surface lies a relentless system of domination—economic violence, systemic discrimination, and unchecked brutality.

 

From police killings to corporate exploitation, from failing schools to forced dependency, the mechanisms of control are everywhere. Because this is what they genuinely believe in.

 

In this talk, Shahid Bolsen exposes the deep-seated reality of domestic oppression in the U.S.—how power maintains itself through coercion, how subjugation is normalized, and what this means for those trapped in the system.

Fortuitously quickly afterward

 

US Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, posted the following on X:

 

 

President Trump IS the President of Peace. He is ending bloodshed across the world and will deliver lasting peace in the Middle East.

 

Where Joe Biden failed, President Trump will succeed.

Regarding Gabbard's truth-vaporizing statement

 

Caitlin Johnson observed that:

 

 

The US launched 65 airstrikes in 24 hours in Yemen, and then Trump’s intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard tweeted, “President Trump IS the President of Peace. He is ending bloodshed across the world and will deliver lasting peace in the Middle East.”

 

These freaks have no connection with reality.

Essentially saying the same thing that Shahid Bolsen had . . .

 

Caitlin Johnstone continued:

 

 

I saw a video the other day of a father cradling the decapitated head of his son from an airstrike in Gaza, and I’m told I’m a terrorist supporter if I criticize the people who decapitated him.

 

The word “terrorist” is a meaningless tool of imperial narrative control.

 

Want to bomb some people? Designate them as terrorists.

 

Want to silence protesters and dissidents? Say they’re supporting terrorists.

 

Want sweeping surveillance powers? Say you need them to fight terrorism.

 

The list of people the Trump administration is working to deport for speech crimes against Israel is getting longer and longer, and includes a doctoral student whose sole offense was writing an op-ed critical of the Gaza holocaust.

 

Republicans spent years whining that government is too big and free speech is dying and everyone’s too weak and sensitive, only to turn around and applaud the government for stomping out free speech to protect their delicate little ears from hearing wrongthink about Israel.

 

Half of the evidence of Israeli atrocities in Gaza comes from Palestinians filming their own genocide. The other half comes from Israelis telling the press what they’ve been up to.

 

Saying the Democrats are better than Republicans or vice versa is like saying the top teeth of the shark are nicer than the bottom teeth; they might look and function a bit differently, but they’re used toward the same deadly end.

 

It’s like this in all western “democracies”. The public is split into two equal factions who are then pitted against each other on issues that are guaranteed not to inconvenience the powerful in any way, and then the state just does what’s in the interests of the empire without regard for any of the noises being made in the political sphere.

 

And the brainwashed masses just keep babbling on about their politics, completely unaffected by the fact that the things their government is doing run squarely counter to the values they purport to hold.

The moral? — The American military-industrial oligarchy . . .

 

. . . struts its brand of morality every day. Demonically opposite to any decent human being's.

 

We are faced with a metastatic tumor — not so paradoxically derived from the West's originating tissue — consuming the whole.

 

One might detect a curiously Christian message in this.

 

Were one awake and philosophically inclined.
