A few days ago I subscribed to the premier Foreign Affairs Magazine -for the US-American points of view….
There are other points of view of course, Chinese, Russian, North Korean, Iranian, South African….
The politics of antisemitism : Gideon Saar clashes with ambassador Sonya McGuinness, tells her, "There is nothing in your system right now that can defend you from that virus of anti-Semitism, except of external pressure and exposing the anti-Semitic nature of this Government of Ireland and other institutions."
Other fears
Could have been titled "The Mendacity of the intellectual prostitutes" -exactly what I thought of this picture and could have titled it "A Miserable Bunch of Munafiqun Uncle Toms" as would be more properly defined if you read this 1984 publication;::
The Sign of the Sword by Shaykh 'Abdalqadir al-Murabit
"The Mendacity of the intellectual prostitutes"
"A Miserable Bunch of Munafiqun Uncle Toms"
Ok, so, to err is human to forgive is divine , but when Trump is in default and verily, Trump is in default there's no doubt about it, therefore, should we hold Trump the extremist in contempt of something when he is found guilty of not fulfilling the spirit of that document known as "The Declaration of American Independence" or should we (the people of this world) forgive him more than 70 times seven - give him a break and a blank cheque to sin - with impunity - as much as he likes ?
Once Native American Territory, USA now being a Christian Country "under one God", should the US Constitution be amended under Trump to award him special favours and privileges such as "unlimited Presidential Immunity" and "Freedom from Prosecution for as long as he lives" ?
Indeed, as Mark Antony put it, the evil that men do lives after them ;the good is often buried with their bones
The banality of evil :
The evil that Epstein and his buddies do -
well, there's The First Amendment and all that jazz
here was some great American grandpa
in the free speech zone of Hyde Park Corner
speaking truth to power and putting it to him straight
(no chaser)
One of the many problems with Trump is that he is no respecter of persons - unless you are fully armed with weapons of mass destruction - otherwise, he has no qualms about poking his nose in other people's business, other countries' internal affairs. Would he threaten North Korea, Russia, China, France, or his former colonial masters in Great Britain with some "guns-a-blazing"?
He also likes criticising others, calling people names and passing judgement on everything that's not to his liking or satisfaction - most recently he has been vilifying all his American people of Somali ancestry - he says they are "good for nothing" - reminds you of the lyrics of " We The People Who Are Darker than Blue " …
#Considering the deportation of South Africa's Ambassador to the US because of comments and observations that he made in his analysis and assessment of the situation in Trump's USA - comments that angered Trump, unless, under oath ( on the Bible & Quran) he promises to turn a fresh leaf, it's highly unlikely that Femi Fani-Kayode will be approved as Nigeria's Ambassador designate to the United States; if anything, we are to suppose thatTrump being as vindictive as he is (when he can), as far as Mister Trump is concerned , the Nigerian known as Femi Fani-Kayode is already a persona non grata - his goose is already cooked for speaking truth to power, the unfortunate power being Donald J. Trump, the wannabe Emperor…
This message to Trump should be clear enough: Quítate Tú
Is Trump hellbent on first invading Venezuela and then Nigeria? Or vice versa, first Nigeria which he may erroneously believe is a " piece of cake", and then Venezuela ?
More insidious yet, should he send his boys "guns-a-blazing" ostensibly to fight terrorism in Nigeria ?
Surely, Nigeria does not believe in the luxury of having the option of waiting for Trump to "triumph " - a triumph and work-in-progress -with the US and the US's military base/ bases in that country -there to stay, forever and ever
There are conspiracy theories gathering momentum that what he actually wants to do under the guise of putting an end to the allegede ongoing genocide ofChristians in Nigeria, is to ignite a religious war in Nigeria ( between Christians and Muslims) under cover of fighting for the lives of Jesus' followers, he probably hopes that American bombs, drones guns a-blazing and boots on the ground will lead to another disaster as what happened in Somalia - photos and video footage of Somali warriors pisssing ( urinating ) on the dead bodies of US soldiers was too much for US-American home public to bear or countenance ,and the ultimate conspiracy theories that greater instability caused by US military intervention could lead to an extended state of emergency being declared over the length and breadth of Nigeria and that that would - sooner or later lead to a de facto military coup -the Military declaring Martial Law and in effect ( regime change) the military taking over the running of the country thus precipitating the fulfilment ofAmerican Ambassador John Campbell's prediction about Nigeria -his dream about the disintegration of Nigeria - a disintegration precipitated by nationwide instability
