Donald Trump, Vlad the Impaler, and Pol Pot for President

 

Donald Trump, Vlad the Impaler, and Pol Pot for President 

(*Note* When making entries to this blog on political topics, along with my own opinions, I'll be quoting political analysts from different newspaper articles, found in the archives, who obviously have the real knowledge of the world. This article used information from six well respected newspapers in North America)

 Vlad the Impaler reigned Wallachia as Prince from 1448 to 1462 and killed about 20% of the population under his rule. He impaled several of his victims through the buttocks till the stake came out of the mouth. A German pamphlet read: "He roasted children, whom he fed to their mothers. And he cut off the breasts of women and forced their husbands to eat them. After that, he had them all impaled."

 Pol Pot was the leader of the Cambodian revolutionary group the Khmer Rogue, which had orchestrated the Cambodian genocide. Pol Pot believed in destroying the Cambodian civilization in order to start a new regime and usher in a new age. He is probably the only man in history who ordered mass genocide on his own country. During his reign as Prime Minister from 1976 to 1979, his policies led to the death of around 2 million people which was 25% of the entire population. He liked to keep the skulls of people he had killed, and he went as far as ordering babies to be torn limb by limb. He died of natural causes.

 Donald Trump's tenure as the 45th president of the United states began with his inauguration on January 20, 2017 and ended on January 20, 2021. As the most powerful leader of the free world Donald Trump's behavior and influence on a healthy democracy has resulted in the cautionary warnings of experts in free speech and freedom from all over the free world.

 During Donald Trump's presidency the CIA's employee who was most in danger for a year was not a CIA operative on a mission abroad, but an analyst who faced a torrent of threats after filing a whistleblower report that led to the impeachment of President Trump. The former president soon afterwards began tweeting threateningly, like a dictator, calling for blood.

 "Where's the whistleblower? Where's the whistleblower?" Trump bellowed while standing on stages before large audiences, and typing on twitter, as he inspired his misguided audience to want to crush political dissent against him.

 Measures had to be imposed by the CIA's Security Protective Service, which monitors thousands of messages across social media and internet chat rooms. Over time, a pattern has emerged under Trump. Violent messages surge after people under this President dare to speak out freely against him. Trump then targets people's free views in tweets, or he makes public remarks against them in public speeches, which he knows will insight crowds of his followers to act in undemocratic ways. During Donald Trump's time in office public servants across the country have faced numerous ordeals for using their free speech. The target of Trumps threatening tweets and remarks encompass nearly every category of government service: mayors, governors, and members of Congress, as well as officials within his own administration. The dynamics in response appears to be without precedent: government agencies taking extraordinary measures to protect their people from strains of seething hostility stoked deliberately by a sitting president.

 Trump fomented mob-like anger at perceived adversaries throughout his entire presidency and will do so again if he is re-elected. He is now the favored Republican nominee for President and America's most popular candidate. Although his exhortations generally stop short of explicitly promoting violence, his words have been echoed in hundreds of menacing online messages. And he has consistently resisted speaking in defense of citizens to discourage violence against free people with differing opinions.

 A healthy leader, when confronted with such facts, would say, "Oh my gosh, I had no idea and that was not my intent. Let me clear the air to make it clear I do not support these causes!" But Trump does the opposite, he doubles down. He cannot admit that his language is having the horrible effect, because he knows it's motivating his supporters exactly the way dictators like Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Benito Mussolini once motivated their supporters. Trump has taken his play book from every pathetic despot in history in how to influence his audiences.

 High ranking government officials described an exceedingly ugly situation that occurred under Trump's despotic Presidency: one in which lawmakers were made to disregard private principle in their votes and often do so out of literal fear. Not only did they describe members who advocated for invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office later voting against impeachment, but they cited fears of physical violence directly impacting resulting votes.

 Maybe people are too busy laughing to see it. Perhaps it's the jokes and memes that Donald Trump generates in abundance, the gift that keeps on giving, that blinds people to a chilling fact that they would rather not face. Put simply, the former leader of the world's most powerful nation was behaving like an authoritarian dictator, who if re-elected threatens democracy in his own country and far beyond.

 Trump has threatened to jail his political opponents. He also has a despot's attitude to the truth--lying routinely, even about trivial matters, partly to demonstrate power. So great is his sway over his devotees, he can make them believe even what is provably false. And he has a despot's contempt for a free press, forever railing against the "fake news" media and while President all but abolishing the White House daily briefing, which at least aimed to hold successive administrations to account. Note his abuse of power to pursue vendettas against the companies that own media organizations that displease him: seeking to raise postal charges on Amazon, as retaliation against the Washington Post, owned by Amazon's Jeff Bezos; and moving to block the AT&T-Time Warner merger to hurt CNN.

 The most chilling moment of Trumps encounter with Vladimir Putin came when the two men bonded over their shared loathing of journalists: "Get rid of them." Trump said to his Kremlin counterpart, perhaps envious of the toll of 26 murdered journalists notched up in Russia during the Putin years.

 Trumps disregard for the rule of law in also that of an autocrat. His aids simply ignore subpoenas to appear before Congress. Part of it is that trump has not been able to do his worst. No elections have been overturned, no dissidents jailed, no journalists arrested. The restraints of the US system have, so far, kept Trump in check. Yet that can lull people into a false sense of security, into what is called: "the confidence trap" the belief that, because democracy has withstood past threats, it will withstand present and future ones too. That's complacent, not least because those restraints are fraying fast. Note how Trump appointed sympathetic judges in record numbers: you can't rely on the courts to check an authoritarian president if the courts are increasingly in the president's image.

 Like it or not, and Canada likes it, the US is the mightiest player in the democratic world. When America is led by a would-be dictator, it undermines global democratic standards. How can the west stand up to, say, Viktor Orban, when it indulges Donald Trump?

 As former President Trump slithers around between rocks, free loving people everywhere are standing up for our God given ideals. As the world sees Trumps buddy Putin invade the freedom loving nation of Ukraine the lovers of good and fairness itself are getting ready to defend our ideals. In response to the invasion of the Ukraine all across the world people are volunteering to go and fight on behalf of the Ukraine. In the United States right now, small groups of military veterans are gathering, planning, and getting passports in order. after years of serving in smoldering occupations, trying to spread democracy in places that they had only a tepid interest in, many are hungry for what they see as a righteous fight to defend freedom against an autocratic aggressor with a conventional and target-rich army.

 One veteran in the USA was quoted in a widely circulated newspaper. "A lot of us are watching what is happening and just want to grab a rifle and go over there. Some want to try to recapture the intense clarity and purpose they felt in war, which is often missing in modern suburban life. Others want a chance to make amends for failed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan and see the fight to defend democracy against a totalitarian invader as the reason they joined the military."

 Democracy and freedom loving people of courage and righteous conviction everywhere are preparing now to go to war with Ukraine's totalitarian invader. At this important moment in history, strangely, instead of supporting this noble and virtuous cause, Trump, a former American President, is weirdly now trying to draw American voters attention elsewhere. While on the verge of World War III, against evil itself, Trump has strangely chosen right now, on the brink of World War III, to pick a fight with Canada. This response to evil itself, which has Trump seeming to wink now at Vladimir Putin, suggests he is trying to show Putin that he can punish the Canadian Prime Minister for daring to speak out in the strongest possible language against evil in the world. This really shows Trumps awful nature and evil interests well.

 Former U.S president Donald Trump, on the brink of World War III, has strangely taken aim at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, telling his supporters that if they want to fight for democracy abroad, "they should start with the democracy that is under threat right next door, a place called Canada. “The radical left is trying to replace American democracy with woke tyranny," Trump said as Ukrainians in love of freedom were being killed by advancing Russian tanks in the Ukraine. "They want to do the same thing to America that Trudeau has been doing to Canada--and much, much worse," he continued, bringing the audience before him to its feet.

 His accusations came at a time when truckers were making their way across the United States in their own "Freedom Convoy" style protest. "A line has been crossed: you are either with the peaceful truckers, or you are with the left-wing fascists and that's what's been happening," Trump continued.

 One of Trumps cronies then remarked. "We have a crisis at the southern border, a fascist up north, and instead of *that*, we are supposed to care about a turf war over some street corner in the Far East," far-right personality Mike Cernovich tweeted on Sunday, comparing Trudeau to the sadistic and self-serving Star Wars emperor. "We also have neighbors to the north who need freedom and who need to be liberated."

 Bruce Heyman, former U.S ambassador to Canada under Barack Obama, said the remarks were "reckless, dangerous, and crossed every line of diplomacy and decency. "Canada is our best friend, best trading partner, closest ally and should be treated as such," he tweeted.

 Evil as an entity always supports itself. The demon chain of evil is all linked and all those on the side of the beast will eventually show their true loyalty to Beelzebub when needed and rise for the great battle against fairness, the right, and the good. So why should this evil not turn ruthlessly on the leader of one of the most peace-loving countries the world has ever known and attack its leader instead of attacking a monstrous despot terrorizing the world with war and nuclear weapons. Why not flirt with bulldozing friendly Canada to the ground as an executive order, it makes sense, somehow this is mysteriously to Trumps followers the sign of responsible leadership, and strategic genius, a move they see that really has America's best interest in mind, or perhaps it's really the sign of a traitor to God and good itself.

 Over the past week, Trump has publicly and diabolically praised the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose armed forces continue to pummel Ukrainian cities, according to multiple videos and accounts from the ground in Europe. As invading troops battled with Ukrainian forces, Trump described Putin as "smart."

 "Of course he's smart," Trump said in his remarks Saturday, doubling down on praise of the Russian leader that many other Republicans have avoided after the invasion. "But the real problem is our leaders are dumb. Dumb. So dumb."

 Trumps egregious behavior makes absolutely no moral or strategic sense at all accept that he desires to impress despotic leaders like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jung-Un. The world is now watching the deranged thought of the favored candidate for President of the United States of America. Everyone sees him dancing and prancing about on the world stage while bellowing evil rhetoric in his obnoxious voice. Other responsible statesmen, other leaders of fair and free nations, all working hard to sustain a healthy world order, see this maniac on the stage dividing not only Americans but now Canadians in his fanatical appeal. 

 It is obvious to the wise, and even mental patients, that Trumps behavior clearly shows his secret authoritarian leanings. He fashions himself as a strongman and he would like to see America come under his full despotic rule entirely. He does more then simply object to free speech that dares to challenge him, he sends his mindless undemocratic sellouts to freedom and our values out in a rage looking to punch and smash and retaliate against free speech itself. He would move the free world away from a free press, and already has. He favors a society where the press is monitored for content by totalitarian oversight. He desires the corrupted distortion of ordinary people's perceptions and beliefs, and he dreams of filling democracy itself with more far-reaching propaganda, and conspiracy theories, tearing a part the fabric and underpinnings of democracy, which at this very moment is a strategy being mass engineered in think tanks across eastern Europe. Under Trump, America, and other free nations, are going to be made to dance about under his strings as he, the entertained puppet master of humanity, misguides his ideologically fed puppets.

 When I was a kid, growing up in small town Nova Scotia, Canada, me, and other kids used to play war with pretend riffles and revolvers. We ran across our neighbors green daffodil covered grass in the summer months in the sleepy rural village I grew up in. I developed a lot of the ideas that ran through my imagination after watching American produced television and movies on pay TV and then imitating those ideas as I played with my friends.

 I remember watching the movie Red Dawn numerous times, a movie where American teenagers organized themselves into an armed guerilla resistance group after the Soviet Union invaded the USA. Canadian society is full of so many influences that come to us directly from American culture. For a kid growing up in Canada, as a result of these deep soulful connections, I admired my heroic neighbors to the south, and still do, along with our own war hero's here. I remember pretending numerous times to be fighting for America in war as me and my boyhood friends ran through a local cow barn, of a nearby dairy farm, shooting make believe bullets back and forth. I recall my boyhood friend, who's parents immigrated from Germany, rolling his eyes at me, as I claimed in our young discussions to have American citizenship.

 Yet I wasn't alone as a Canadian in my fascination and love for America. Many millions of our Canadian citizens have a deep and inseparable love for America and hold the belief that America is a great nation, and on the side of good itself, at least when living up to the nations best ideals. The treatment of the Palestinian people draws a lot of criticism towards US foreign policy, as well as the nonsensical war in Iraq, but hopefully with future leadership these mistakes can be corrected, and the worlds critics silenced by sound leadership.

 In writing this blog I do not represent the Canadian government, or the Canadian people, only myself. When I comment on President Trump, and America, it is because I honestly care about America, and how this great nations policies and leadership directs the world. America is the greatest and most influential country on earth, so the USA showing good leadership matters for the fate and future of us all.  All Canadians would gladly watch America's back. We'd give our left arm to defend this great country, and we'd gladly follow the USA for another thousand years to come as the great leader of the free world.

 I suspect that I'll be targeted now by Trumps ideologically lost followers for daring to speak out against his autocratic movement while exercising my right to free speech. My outspoken opposition to the former President, and his angry rhetoric, as he try's to defy democratic checks and balances, could lead to threats, or even violence against me, because Trump does not respect or defend the rules of democracy. Make no mistake about it, people under his influence are gradually losing their freedom. Shout it as loud as you can from the rooftops, and let everyone know, he has come to destroy freedom itself.

 As the world faces the prospect of World War III, if peace can now be somehow preserved, it's extraordinarily important that American voters demand by their votes that democracy itself be safeguarded.  Don't allow a devious man, with sneaky authoritarian leanings, to lead the free world again.

 Two of my latest books are available for anyone who's interested, the first book, a work of fiction: "Demons In The Pleasant Valley Hills" and the second, and most recent book, part fiction, and part nonfiction: "A Paranoid Schizophrenics Message Of Hope For The World," really need to be read.

 Both books make profound philosophical arguments where the characters enter into deep ethical debates about God, evil, morality, and hope, that argue persuasively that there is really significant meaning to this life, now, and beyond this world.

 These latest books came into existence after God's direct inspiration on my thought directed the writing process throughout these works. The truth is I was guided by clear thoughts from God through every stage of the writing process. I know this is a dubious claim, especially made by a paranoid schizophrenic, but it's a fact that God directed the writing process of these two books. For this reason, these are two extremely important books, which God inspired directly, which have yet to have been properly read or evaluated. The latest book, especially, completed now more then three weeks ago, might end up lost to history, and never be read by anyone, even after God inspired the full content, and spoke directly in numerous chapters. I in return obediently wrote down the words in this book after listening to clear schizophrenia experienced thoughts that guided me what to write.
