The Demolition Presidency

Oh my goodness! How much messier can it get? One can either fret about it all, take some action in whatever capacity one is able to, or forget about it and go to the spa, the mall, or wherever, while electing to disregard the obvious fact that, sadly, there is no Political Leadership on the World’s Stage at this juncture that is equipped to deal with all the mess that we have all created for ourselves, so they are just bumbling dangerously along while so many more hazards loom on our horizons! Whether here in our United States, or in Europe with all those Old Fogey Politicians determined to butt heads with Putin at their own peril, or in the Middle East where the Genocide and Starvation Campaign against Palestinian Humans continues as Netanyahu thumbs his nose in defiance at Trump subjecting the whole region to a much more violent and dangerous future, although Trump and his team seem to be focused on bringing this Neo-Colonialism Peace Deal through, or . . . or . . . with the good, the bad and the ugly seen and unseen effects of AI already occurring, or with cybercrimes, ransomeware, hacking, crypto crimes and what have you increasing by the hour it is, yes very Muddy Scary Stuff!

However, let me start with celebrating “No Kings Day” that took place on October 18th. and the Protests by over Seven Million Humans against Trump’s Authoritarian, and, Yes, his Fascistic endeavors to remake this Nation into a White, Christian, Supremacist, Racist Caricature of itself! “Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty” said Thoreau! It sure is! In the meantime this Brazen, Audacious, Vulgar President can create AI videos depicting him shitting on the Protestors, however, I have a feeling that they will not simply give up and go home!

Meanwhile, this Demolition Presidency has managed to dismantle and to gut every single one of our Government Departments! Every Single One of those we hear and know about, and those we do not! However, this short-sighted success will not, and cannot last! US history tells us that these Supremacist efforts have happened previously and didn’t last either, because American Humans will not put up with this for long!

Anyway, yes, old structures need to be updated, renovated, redone as time progresses: bathrooms, kitchens, carpeting, drapes, plumbing, wiring etc. etc. Almost every John and Jane in the nation has updated their old abodes! However, I was the most perturbed by seeing the Demolition occurring on the White House structure!! Yes, one of the Iconic Symbols of the USA, one that I, before immigrating to these shores, thought was Sooo America and Sooo American being Demolished right in front of my sentimental old eyes for a Gilded Ballroom? And the Rose Garden is gone too? Would it surprise Anyone if Mount Rushmore is next? Oh my! Remember when the Criminal Dubya Bush Gang was mocking and ridiculing Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi Dictator, for his gilded faucets, bathrooms, ostentation, corruption and all else, and the horror expressed by some of our most Prominent Corrupt Media Personalities and Pseudo-Experts regarding Saddam’s audaciousness? Well! Well! We now have the nerve to put up with Trump’s Ostentation and Gilded Everything? Really? Perhaps we should learn to get over our Arrogance and pointing of our Fingers at Others? Huh?

Moreover, it does not seem that this Administration has one iota of respect for Traditions, History, Continuity, Laws, Rules, Standards or Anything at all! They are conducting themselves as if their Ideology is not going Anywhere soon, but that it Owns this nation. Forever? How much Hubris and Arrogance can they have? And, this Quid Pro Quo President Par Excellence seems to be intent on exiting the stage not only as the Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, but, also, as the Richest Man on the Forbes 400 List by whatever means necessary! Oh my!

Let us remember though that while Trump seems to be planning to rig the 2026 and 2028 Elections (perhaps like the Cameroonian President he wants to run at 92? Gross!), that ICE and the National Guard are now his own private army, and, while all his co-conspirators in the White House and amongst the Cowardly Republican Politicians continue to support this atrocious Demolition of Everything in our Government Structures and Institutions there are American Humans and Organizations pushing back and Succeeding in their efforts!

I’ll start with the Terrific Jane Fonda who has revived Peter Fonda’s organization that was fighting the McCarthy era diktats of suppression in order to support free speech and to stand against authoritarianism, censorship and repression. Over 550 entertainment professionals have signed on already and more every day! Right On!

Honorable Judges, Universities and Law Firms are standing up and refusing what the Administration is ordering them to do. Bravo and Hats Off To Them!

Honorable Media Outlets have walked out of the Pentagon refusing Hegseth’s orders to censor and monitor their material and sources. Well Done!

Admiral Alvin Holsey, of the US Military South Command resigned allegedly because of the obliteration of so-called Venezuelan Drug Vessels by our military without due process, accountability or proof of anything nefarious. Respect Sir! Respect!

The Trump Retribution Campaign against political figures and lawmakers  is meeting with counter lawsuits and defiance. As it should be!

Some in the Media Networks are pushing back against the Lies, Deceit and Hypocrisy of an Administration hellbent on rewriting history, facts and their efforts at silencing dissent. And, we need the Media to continue this and much more for as long as it takes!

But what is the looming scandal hovering over all the chaos, disruptions and pettiness of everything going on? It is The Epstein Scandal! And, the reverberations of this scandal traveling across the ocean from the United Kingdom and Buckingham Palace and how Prince Andrew has been stripped of his royal titles and benefits due to his involvement in sexually abusing the now deceased Virginia Giuffre as illustrated by her posthumous memoir: Nobody’s Girl is bound to have a ripple effect on our shores! How long will they manage to cover up for the Lolita Express and its Abusive Passengers in a World that does not keep Secrets Anymore?

Oh! My Goodness! Breathtaking! Dangerous! Controversial! Unpredictable! Where does all this go as the Demolitions continue?

2025

What Can I Say?

So many Events took place in the past two weeks. Oof! I can mouth out about all of them! However, I am going to focus on October 9th. and Trump’s Peace Deal. So, here goes:

Two adages came to my mind when I heard that a Ceasefire in Gaza was announced and that a Peace Deal was being negotiated regarding Trump’s Plan. I waited until the brutal bombing ceased, until I saw the few food trucks, medical supplies, water, fuel and other scanty necessities begin to come into Gaza, and then I said to myself: “You Cannot Argue With Success,” and “You Have To Give Credit Where Credit Is Due.” Yes, Trump did succeed in silencing the bombings and in bringing all those many Nations to discuss the details moving beyond the ceasefire. Yes, he Succeeded, and he gets the Credit for that. Could he have done that in January? In February? In March? Of course he could have, but he wanted to give Netanyahu (who was recently booed loudly by the brave Israelis in Hostage Square who are now aware of his Evil tactics!) all the space he needed to achieve his Evil Objectives, annihilate more Innocent Palestinian Humans, increase the rubble in Gaza and cause more innocent Israelis to die. Could Genocide Joe, who was being Manipulated by both Worthless Blinken and Evil Netanyahu, have done that? Of course he could have, but he didn’t! I do not purport to know what goes on behind closed doors, especially those closed doors of Political maneuvering, however, there seems to be a real effort this time to getting things off the ground. With the Israeli hostages back in Israel, and with Trump giving a speech at the Knesset during which that whole event was well-choreographed, hyped to a nauseating extent, was brimming with adulations and self-adulations, with the white-washing of Israel’s Genocidal ambitions and behavior despite Innocent Palestinians having been the barbaric target practice for the Israeli IDF, with salutations galore and with the promise of regional peace at the upcoming Summit Meeting at Sharm el-Sheikh to seal the deal and to ensure that the Palestinian Human Beings will be the Sacrificial Lambs at the alter of the New Colonialism which is cementing the entire Middle East, Arabian Peninsula Kingdoms, Emirates and Sheikdoms to this New Colonialism that promises more Authoritarianism, Dictatorships, abrogation of Human Rights, of Justice, and of Legality. What Can I Say? It was undoubtedly and in many respects a dramatic day! 

I have no doubt that Evil Netanyahu was watching all this as he was taking credit for the unfolding events, as well as portraying himself as Israel’s Hero while plotting how we will be in control of the New Occupation of the Palestinian and Arab People. I can never forget that Evil Netanyahu had sabotaged every agreed upon negotiation for peace during the past two years while blaming Hamas for the failure, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he does it again. However, it is being articulated and written about by so many observers, even some on Podcasts and the Mainstream Media, that it was Netanyahu who had been stalling, and lying, and deceiving, and producing propaganda to blame it all on Hamas and to absolve himself of the Genocide and Starvation Campaign that he has been waging against Innocent Palestinian Civilians. Will the Israeli Humans oust him after all that? Many of them saw through him very early on, it dawned on some others later. However, the whole world was viewing the images of his Genocide and cringing; Flotillas carrying food and medicine and attempting to break through the blockade of Gaza and failing to do so; street Protests going on within Israel, in the United States and across Europe; more and more Israeli publications, Holocaust Scholars, and Jewish Peace proponents within and without Israel all making it more and more impossible for both Trump and Netanyahu to ignore the dire situation. The Optics were too stark, too cruel, too bloody! AIPAC and the ADL had become too Toxic, their Messaging ringing hollow. Organizations, Law Firms and the affected Human Beings of the unfounded Antisemitism Campaign were fighting back and winning. Boycotted Israeli-supporting corporations and products were feeling the pinch. Even some of our own Hollywood Royalty were speaking up and condemning the Genocide. Israel was losing the blind support and goodwill that it had been nourishing for decades. The Truth about the Palestinian Catastrophe in 1948, Israel’s Occupation of Palestinian Humans since then, Expropriation of Palestinian property and the dehumanization and brutality of its Occupation and all the Numerous Lies, Deceit and Propaganda of Israel’s so-called desire to “live in Peace” had come to a head! And, yes, it all began with the conspiracy to settle Palestine by European Jews prior to 1948, and continuing to that year and all the years since then and Not on October 7th. cruel as that event was for the innocent murdered Israelis, their families and the trauma it caused for the Israeli population. That does not Negate The Fact that Palestinian Human Beings have been deliberately and systematically Traumatized since 1948 with one horrid event after another and with the complicity of the United States and European nations, while so many citizens in the West had been Ignorant beyond comprehension of the Undeniable Facts until recently!

Yogi Berra said: It’s Not Over Till It’s Over. And no Trump’s full Peace Plan has not come to fruition yet. However, he is Chairing the Board Of Peace that will be following up on the implementation of his 20 point peace plan.  If he pulls it through until the finish line which is an Independent Palestinian State living side by side with Israel in Peace then I will be the first to express my gratitude on this issue. One thing gives me a little hope that he might do just that, and it is that since he started campaigning for the Presidency prior to 2016 and up until now he has been executing and doing the Good, the Bad and the Ugly that he had promised – and there’s a whole lot of ugly, especially domestically! And, will Jared and MBS ensure that at the end of the line there will be a Truly Independent Palestinian State, or will they drag it on for years thus inviting more anger, frustration and violence?

The last thing I have to say is that there is a big difference between “Terrorists” and “Freedom Fighters” no matter how the Colonist West wants to define those, and I, as well as millions of Palestinian and Arab Humans consider ourselves Freedom Fighters for having been consistently insistent and persistent in our non-violent opposition to our Ruthless, Merciless and Brutal Occupation since 1948, and our yearning for Our Freedom! We will continue on with this noble effort for as long as it takes!!
