The Republic of Trumpland
The Republic Of Trump
(formerly known as America)
I don’t ever remember a time when one man was spoken of so negatively on a global scale.Some of it I understand.Look after America before we look after others – ‘healer heal thyself’And it’s easy to judge the judged without them actually delivering anything. Yet we judge this man based on what he has already said.The problem with what he has already said is this. How do you pull apart the truth from the lies, the lies from the truth?This is deeper.This is far more dangerous.This is much bigger.This is a symptom of divine personality believing its own divinity.People talk about Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini yet this type of behavior goes back much further we just don’t recall those periods as much. Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome and even old and new Russia.Yet it’s hard to image anything quite as insidious as this one. Maybe because he is now and we are talking about it now. He is creating history but I wonder how that history will judge him.When a politician claims to give his people the charge he is acting in a way that if anyone then takes an attack on that leader they are attacking the people. Clever, but really not that new.The only way the people will believe that is when the people are uneducated and rely on always being led.Recently I watched an interview with a writer. The writer was asked he she survived the Holocaust. She went on to tell a story of how her uncle FELT something big and dangerous was coming. He was laughed at by his Jewish peers. At the first possible opportunity, he fled Germany to safety in America.He survived, as did those he carried over borders and nations with him. His family and friends quickly were locked into Ghettos. From the ghettos, some perished. Those that survived were taken on the orders of the leader that served the people and gave the people power to lift the sub-humans away to death.Disgusting I know.Disgraceful I know.In the past I know.ButBack to haunt us.Not that we are seeing this – yet.Not that death has arrived – yet.Not that a rounding up has happened – yet.But intuition is a powerful tool we have mostly lost the use of. It’s that silent thing that makes us feel something about something. Are you feeling it about this?Let's face it … America needs a shake up and it takes an antagonist to shake things up.How can invasion, war, and justification of renaming foreign governments as regimes as a justification of overthrow?So Mc Donald’s can open up?New contracts and new deals to rebuild what they destroyed.There is no sense in the senseless.So the ever so perfect imperfect western way of life can be installed.So the all-consuming consumerism can take root to create fat overweight obese humans reliant on their feeders. So the liberal morality can eat away foundational morality and create the loss and waste that comes with it.The problem with a shake-up is there are times when the shake up can be brutal.The lies.The blame.The anger.The tearing down.The smash and destroy.The shock on awe of reality TV politics.The ego.That huge fat unbelieving ego that claims to have God is its backer.Hitler thought he was the chosen one. His lies and crimes were all justified. In God he trusted.What a mess.What a horrific mess.He might have trusted in God but was their real evidence of godly backing?There are far too many similarities.Too much sameness.Too many patterns from the past being repeated.The democracy is going republic.The voices of opposition are to be crushed.The words of reason are to be judged as unreasonable.The future is deemed to be now, today with no tomorrow.The lies are to become truths.The wise are to be seen as stupid.The reasonable are to be silenced.And God helps any foreigner residing in America. God help anyone running against the people's champion. God help those that can feel something coming yet ignore those feelings.When the liars stand openly in the media proclaim and supporting the lie as a truth, defending the lie with anger, forcing the support and holding up of a lie you have a foundation that is to be built on sand.They proclaim this is Gods way yet the reality their own Gods words in the Bible write “The devil is the father of the lie’.In this new republic of America, something has been unleashed.Maybe this is a backlash to the past. The past failings are layered and have built to levels that are no longer sustainable.Yet the reaction from Trumpland is nothing short of anything new.These tyrants rise.They always fall.These liars rise.They always fall.These despots rise.They always fall.This was always coming.So is the end.Yet the fear is genuine.How much destruction will pass before it ends? How much misery will pass before it ends? How much of what people don’t want will pass before it ends?Hitler gave a nation what they wanted. In return, they gave their leader what he asked for. Even to the very end, the people’s leader had support despite it all.I don’t know what is coming.You don’t know what is coming.The signs are ominous.The dangers are very real.The weak are easily led.The uneducated are easily taught.I feel something. I am not sure what but I can feel it and it feels like real danger. This story has been played out before. So has the journey and the outcome. Something is coming.Be aware.Stay awake.Be careful.Listen to your intuition.These are dangerous times.Believe it.Look after yourself.Peace.Alan Forrest Smith
