“I intentionally downplayed the severity of the pandemic”—–Donald Dumb F Trump (early 2020 book interview)

“I call the media ‘fake news’ to damage their reputations, while elevating my own in the minds of those who don’t know or care what the truth is”—-Donald Trump (2016 – 60 Minutes interview.

There is a malignant cancer spreading across the soul of America. When unhealthy cells attack healthy cells, we call that an auto-immune disease. We now have more than a few Republicans attacking scientifically and/or historically established facts, and the healthy cells that bind our democratic institutions and civilization together. Attacking our democracy through attacking the voting process is the stuff of dictators and tyrants, and threatens our society.. Trump knows that a free, educated population would never choose a lying, cheating sleazy demon for a President, and he continues to work against our higher principles and ideals, to promote his own sociopathic agenda.  Any leader who would minimize, and then politicize a pandemic, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans, is a criminal.

.TREASON
I am not a teasin’,
There is the national stink of TREASON,
And the cult of Trump has lost all reason,
And the obsequious of Washington continue their appeasin’
Of a dangerous, corrupt man whose mind and heart is out of season,
Be careful, oh America,
On our minds, hearts, and souls
There is now a fatal lesion.
Truth, liberty, and justice are now about freezin’
Isolate and imprison this cheatin’ sleazin’ demon.

Top dog over Lady Liberty? I am appalled.

Trump and many of his supporters have claimed, without providing evidence, that Democrat President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris won the election through widespread voter fraud. Republican and Democratic election officials, as well some prominent GOP lawmakers, have pushed back against these unverified allegations.
.

The unverified allegations get promoted through fringe media outlets, as well as through Kayleigh Mcenany, and other Trump sycophants.  Here are presented viral videos of unproven voter fraud, the urging of supporters to ready their guns in support of Trump and the pushing of anti-Semitic and racist claims about election officials.  This is according to POLITICO’s review of multiple Telegram channels, 4Chan discussions and conversations on Parler, a social network favored by more mainstream conservatives.

.

We are a better people than this. The Cult of Trump has created a self-destructive hypnosis within his minions and corrupted tribe of political and religious sycophants. The Dark Underbelly of America has been exposed. Now, we have to find a way to heal it, before it is too late.  To heal a problem, it first has to be identified, and understood.  Then we can engage in effective troubleshooting and repairing of the broken systems, human or otherwise, that we are studying.

Those in power continue to cast those hypnotic spells over the ignorant, so that they can cling to their power and control over the gullible and stupid. Never forget that there are TRILLIONS OF AMERICAN, AND INTERNATIONAL, DOLLARS AT STAKE, with dark money continuing to prop up this catastrophe of a human being.
.
Extremist groups, white nationalists and conspiracy theorists — some claiming ties to QAnon, which alleges a so-called deep-state plot to undermine Trump — have taken to encrypted messaging apps and online message boards.
.
And, yes, there truly is a deep state in the USA, and it is called collective stupidity and ignorance, with its Republican political coordinators within the US, and propaganda spinners within the White House (Hi Kayleigh, Barr, and the rest of the gang), and within One World and now, less frequently, Fox News. I am NOT saying that all Republicans are traitors, yet I am concerned by the abject intellectual and moral poverty of Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz, among several others.  If you still love Donald Trump, and believe every world he says, you are part of the dark underbelly of America, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Any leader who would minimize, and then politicize a pandemic, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans, is a criminal.  Any American who continues to support this abomination of the human spirit is a co-conspirator.
.
People who continue to place “party values” and “religious values” over our country are the new traitors, and are to be challenged at every opportunity until all of the snake venom has been neutralized.  Republicans now use the word “socialism” like it is some sort of cursed word, and point their verbal weapons with that word loaded into it as some sort of silver bullet. Socialism and communism have never been our primary problem.  Corporate greed with its excesses remains uncontrolled, unethical, and immoral capitalism, which runs rampant over an emotionally and spiritually disfigured America, and our Mother Earth. The “practicing Christians” of America need to remember that Jesus, and his brother James, were inclined to socialist and communist values, and NOT GREEDY CAPITALISM. He overturned the money changers tables in the temple, for those pseudo-Christians whose forgetful minds that have now been converted to ATM screens.
.
You will not like what it is to come next. It is already unfolding in our country.
Normalizing the abnormal and unacceptable, justifying the unjustifiable, lying, cheating, manufacturing false stories and fantasy narratives to divide the country and to manipulate the ignorant, further oppression of the poor and the under-served, overemphasis on military spending at the expense of national infrastructure improvements, theft from social security programs, adding to the wealth of the super-rich, persecution of immigrants, spewing hateful words and actions upon innocent victims, slander, white supremacy (Steve Miller and his white hooded fiends), for criminal collusion with foreign governments, such as Turkey and Saudi Arabia, bribery, etc. have become normalized within dark corners of our government and citizenry within America.
.
When we as a nation accept that behavior from our leaders, pretty soon we will be accepting it from each other, and our nation will be found swirling around the toilet drain with foul smelling companions.
.
We will not like what “comes after America”.
.
We can STOP IT NOW.
.
The one person who made it to the bottom of this post is eligible for a prize. We all receive a blessing when we truly find a way to listen to each other. We also receive a blessing when we recognize an error in understanding, make amends to those we have harmed by that misunderstanding, and strive to travel new paths of conscious awareness, where Truth and Love are the primary guiding lights..
.
Truth and love do not have a political party, but it is easy to perceive that the Democratic Party appears to want to wander on those sacred paths more than Trump inspired Republicans.

Presently, I am 67 years old, and I am learning how to live the life of a retired person. I am married to Sharon White, a retired hospice nurse, and writer. Whose Death Is It Anyway-A Hospice Nurse Remembers Sharon is a wonderful friend and life partner of nearly 30 years. We have three grandsons through two of Sharon's children. I am not a published writer or poet. My writings are part of my new life in retirement. I have recently created a blog, and I began filling it up with my writings on matters of recovery and spirituality. I saw that my blog contained enough material for a book, so that is now my new intention, to publish a book, if only so that my grandsons can get to know who their grandfather really was, once I am gone. The title for my first book will be: Penetrating The Conspiracy Of Silence, or, How I Lived Beyond My Expiration Date I have since written 7 more books, all of which are now posted on this site. I have no plans to publish any of them, as their material is not of general interest, and would not generate enough income to justify costs. I have taken a deep look at life, and written extensively about it from a unique and rarely communicated perspective. Some of my writing is from 2016 on to the present moment. Other writing covers the time prior to 1987 when I was a boy, then an addict and alcoholic, with my subsequent recovery experience, and search for "Truth". Others are about my more recent experiences around the subjects of death, dying, and transformation, and friends and family having the most challenging of life's experiences. There are also writings derived from my personal involvement with and insight into toxic masculinity, toxic religion, toxic capitalism, and all of their intersections with our leadere. These topics will not be a draw for all people, as such personal and/or cultural toxicities tends to get ignored, overlooked, or "normalized" by those with little time for insight, introspection, or interest in other people's points of view on these troubling issues. There also will be a couple of writings/musings about "GOD", but I try to limit that kind of verbal gymnastics, because it is like chasing a sunbeam with a flashlight. Yes, my books are non-fiction, and are not good reading for anybody seeking to escape and be entertained. Some of the writings are spiritual, philosophical and intellectual in nature, and some descend the depths into the darkest recesses of the human mind. I have included a full cross section of all of my thoughts and feelings. It is a classic "over-share", and I have no shame in doing so. A Master Teacher once spoke to me, and said "no teacher shall effect your salvation, you must work it out for yourself". "Follow new paths of consciousness by letting go of all of the mental concepts and controls of your past". This writing represents my personal work towards that ultimate end.
