Not many people are aware that the abolition of slavery in the USA in 1865 is not as morally significant as the event suggests, as it serves another more sinister motive. During the civil war between the Northen Union States and the Southern Confederate States. there was a shortage of soldiers in the Northern Union States, and the abolition of slavery was to allow the Blacks to be enlisted into the army to fight for them. A very sinister move that nobody took note nor discussed at length, only the talk about how morally great that the abolition of the slavery act of 1865 had given to the Blacks.
Having said that, and if Black slavery had been abolished in 1865, the Blacks should be enjoying the same rights as the Whites. Why was Martin Luther King Jr still fighting for the civil rights for the Blacks in 1955, more than 90 years later? Today, the Blacks are still not given their rights per se, otherwise what was the 'Black Lives Matter' or BLM movement all about? It is so sad that such a movement just died off so quietly.
Today, Trump is using the forced labor mantra to hit countries with new tariffs, including the EU states, leveraging on secondary usage of 'forced labor' inputs in its products, particularly levelled against China for fabricated 'force labor' practices. This comes after the Supreme Court struck down his earlier tariffs as illegal. How about the USA using products also made with 'forced labor' inputs inside products like electronics, magnets in weapons and missiles, quayside cranes and toys for example.
This must be sweet karma particularly for the Europeans that had supported the USA by demonizing China for using the fabricated slave labor mantra in Xinjiang in its cotton industry. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing the Europeans being tarnished with the same dirty brush as the others for their 'forced labor' practices, the same way China was demonized for using fabricated 'slave labor' in Xinjiang. It is even more satisfying to see the Anglo-Saxon Whites turning against each other and at each other's throat. And the mother of all satisfaction is seeing the Europeans also being thrown under the same bus as others by the USA using, I may say, the so-called 'Rules Base Order' or should I say, 'Ruse Based Order'. Karma indeed works in mysterious ways.
