Love Him Or Hate Him - America Created Trump
The Recent Past Made President Trump A Predictable Certainty
Where do we even go from here? First, by recognizing precisely where we stand.
Only the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth will set us free.
It may be that Francis Ford Cuppola’s film Megalopolis - illustrating the collapse of our civilizations - will stand as a defining point - but because I have not seen it - I can’t possibly know any better than anyone else.
Megalopolis is a Roman Epic fable set in an imagined Modern America.
The City of New Rome must change, causing conflict between Cesar Catilina, a genius artist who seeks to leap into a utopian, idealistic future, and his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero, who remains committed to a regressive status quo, perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare. Torn between them is socialite Julia Cicero, the mayor’s daughter, whose love for Cesar has divided her loyalties, forcing her to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves.
For the purposes of this essay - being willing to be in a place of not knowing - is perfect.
FORWARD:
This essay begins to explore the concept that leaders reflect the will of the people.
The will of the people however is not always what we believe it to be.
Where we stand right now - the will of the people is to save a system which may not be worth saving.
We will explore the concept that maybe this system is not at all what we are after and what it might take to begin to change it.
There is no safe, predictable utopia in this life and we must recognize that there is no safety guaranteed by any sort of human existence.
This is our starting point.
Like many other writers and theorists I believe my sacred duty is to use words to explain the unexplainable and if possible to prevent us from continuing to self destruct.
I dedicate my every word and action to this cause - for without this life is worth precisely nothing.
This hopefully is not about further self sacrifice to a nation state or to the many illusions it requires to purchase our allegiance.
Hopefully it is about the courageous self effacement which is required as we approach the teachings of our great spiritual leaders with the humility, courage and compassion necessary.
Following the dictates of the nation states is easy - the open road prepared for us - but following the teachings of a great spiritual teacher like Jesus - from our present perspective - is truly difficult and there is no easy way paved - no open highway prepared.
Could following these teachings become far easier in a spiritually competent society?
Of course.
But first - where we now stand - facing dead end signs at every turn.
Let’s explore this vast subject from this perspective.
I will try to simplify as well as I am able in one essay.
WHERE WE STAND AT THIS INTERSECTION
Totalitarianism - uptight, rigid, perverted mentality - has been a part of these United States for so long it is truly a mystery that anyone is shocked that we live now under tyranny.
Many people don’t understand that our history - rather than reflecting a free and independent spirit among the people - indicates the precise opposite.
A desire for freedom - a dream of freedom - is constant among mankind - and no different among Americans.
But the achievement of freedom and personal agency among our bureaucratic and militaristic nation states has not been achieved ever - despite many pretty words being uttered and written by politicians, philosophers and others for millennia.
We as civilized humans are caught between a Scylla and Charybdis.
We wish desperately for freedom on the one hand - while with the other - holding onto the system which guarantees our slavery .
At this point in history - living as we do now in a disintegrating civilization - we scream loudly about freedom but grasp harder than ever at the system which keeps us from ever knowing freedom.
Once we were given the teachings which taught us how to become spiritually and psychologically free of the enslaving totalitarian state.
But the Roman state truly understood the threat of the teachings of Jesus to the overarching system of the bureaucratic, militarized and uptight enslaving nation state.
The Romans weren’t about to allow these teachings to stand - or to remain so piercingly effective.
No, the system shuddered at the thought that a few simple - but powerful - spiritual teachings could set the people free - and thus destroy the whole apparatus.
No, the Romans understood that they must complicate the simple teachings in such a way that their citizens would be forever caught in a complicated dialectic - so complicated they would be set to arguing the fine points for millennia.
So complicated that a relationship with God would require a middle man - an expert pastor or priest who would interpret the relationship between man and God - and successfully manipulate it in line with the evil aims of the system.
So in the first thousand years after the Roman murder of Jesus the system rephrased and rewrote the meaning of the words of Jesus within the context of the Bible.
The Bible was already a collection of ancient teachings which lent itself well to double speak and to easily manipulated meanings.
The alliance forged between the church and state became iron clad an interlocking system which easily manipulates the people - through the liberally applied shackles the church places on the minds of their flock.
Through time tested means - the building of luxurious cathedrals, the procurement of art and music, and through the elaborate and dazzling presentation of medieval rites and ceremonies - the church and state conspire to keep the populace enslaved.
And the state does its part by also providing elaborate expensive and dazzling displays of political, legal and military might and splendor designed not to instill freedom - the very last thing the system desires - but to ensure the enslaved closed minds of the proletariat.
These intertwined forces insured the following:
That to be a spiritually competent person - a good citizen of the nation state - one must attend an elaborate ritual each week - and receive the appropriate teachings to straight jacket one’s thinking into compliance.
Money changers, snake oil salesmen and master manipulators operated these mammoth, tax free real estate empires to which citizens gave both psychological and financial allegiance.
A system which the simple and elegant teachings of Jesus would have quite expeditiously identified as an evil one - one which worshipped the devil - and not any respectable or trustworthy God.
It has become transformed into a system only the compliant, domesticated, docile and sheep-like, virtue-signaling proletariat could love.
That to be a good citizen of the republic one must submit to a system of laws and customs - reinforced by the elaborate houses of worship, legislative and administrative apparatus such as court houses, banks, businesses and by grand palace-like centers where elected representatives make up the laws and the rules.
And to bring the power of the illusion that the nation state serves to protect and shelter the citizen and keep them safe into full force - untold riches were poured into elaborate displays by the military industrial might of the combined church and state.
These rites are so demonic that the combined power of church and state requires periodic human sacrifice from the citizens - that the citizen commits years of their lives to military service as the nation state teaches them to kill others - and to submit to being killed as necessary for the common good.
From what this writer has gathered Jesus did not teach blood sacrifice, virtue signaling, the establishment of tax free real estate empires, or the necessity of an iron clad throne of power such as we see today enshrined in the capitals of our various nation states.
NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION
Most of us do not need to be reminded that the history of these United States created the present we now live with.
We can certainly see this in a a long line of the worst possible leaders - most certainly the long line of Snake Oil Salesmen since WW II - Johnson, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, the Bushes - both father and son - and of course Obama & Clinton - and to culminate - Joe Biden.
Although I see - nor do I doubt that President Trump himself sees - that we are fed up to our red, bleary-eyed, eye balls with totalitarianism.
It is hard for most of us alive today to see our American experience as other than having been lived under a coup d'état which has been in place as long as we can remember.
Totalitarian uptightness has been as much a part of us as any effete dream we may have had that we are free living and hard loving Western rugged individualists.
No any promise of the West was dashed when we came face to face with the end of the Western dream at the shores of the Pacific Ocean.
And needless to say when we allowed our nation state to deliberately kill off the Native inhabitants - the West - and any dream of the West became DOA - dead on arrival.
The very things which may have made us American are dead or moribund and need immediate intensive care to rescue.
Life support is immediately needed as we work to triage what is remaining of these creator conferred unalienable rights
As for President Trump himself - I thought he looked extremely stressed and tired - totally blitzed - as any of us would be after such an ordeal.
Our fate now rests on the weary and overladen shoulders of leaders who very likely see themselves as inadequate to the task.
Because what American does now will determine the future of Planet Earth.
As America goes - so goes the world - has never been more true than it is as I write this.
If I were president I would do the following - and I am trusting that the next president will - if he has two brain cells to rub together - will act similarly.
Hold trials which begins where Nuremberg failed. -
Hold those responsible for the planned Covid epidemic.
Make certain those who have colluded with the World Health Organization, NATO, and both the non-elected bodies of the World Economic Forum and Bilderberg - and all other alphabet agencies - elected and unelected - who have enabled and benefited from Covid and the vaccines.
Go after corporate, government, institutional and professional bodies who have championed the massive loss of human rights suffered during these Covid years from 2019- 2024.
And this would be where I began as I worked to put every traitor who has betrayed these United States and the people of the world in a place where they will no longer represent a threat.
If I were president - which I would never choose to be - I would abolish taxes and begin a process of detente which would represent lasting peace for the world.
Transform Washington D.C. from the monument to tyranny it has become and turn it into what it should always have been - a sacred tribute to the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence.
As the most sacred evidence of my commitment to the ideals and dreams fashioned by our founding ancestors - I would begin a new dedication to the true meaning of these unalienable rights as conferred by our creator.
I would humbly ask that the creator direct my actions, and dedicate every beat of my heart, and my every thought to the purpose for which I have been elected.
I would dedicate new resources toward an honest accounting of our history and toward the creation of an inquiry- based educational system which would become the finest possible
Will one exhausted politician make the difference between the fall of our civilizations and our potential achievement of the freedom we could possess as human beings?
Unlikely at best - because the thing which makes us capable of achieving some kind of free agency - is ourselves.
It is not an external political force which will make the difference - it is yourself - all of our selves - the difference we decide to make individually - which then adds up to the whole.
This is not about a President- any president or other world leader - this is about us - about those unalienable rights conferred by our creator.
It is about that for Donald Trump - as much as it is about that for each of us.
President Trump may well become a great leader - if - and only if - we the people make certain to become the people we have been waiting for.
And in that case it will not be the doing of one man but the doing of all of us as the earthly representatives of our creator.
Take heed star seeds this journey has truly just begun!
"So complicated that a relationship with God would require a middle man - an expert pastor or priest who would interpret the relationship between man and God - and successfully manipulate it in line with the evil aims of the system."
This is where it all starts, profound comment.
We see ourselves as powerless, and always reliant on a Leader, one who Governs our Minds!
Great article, I am not a fan of trump, knowing that he is a player on the world stage, maybe I am wrong about Marianne Williamson, but I am much more in line with her. Too bad she "had" to step down from running.
Great essay…just one disagreement…they built nothing.
