We become vessels of Hypocrisy, as we profess obedience to Commandments to love one another and not kill each other, even as we spend Trillions on deadly Weapons and Wars in the name of Peace... We claim superiority in all things, but the God of Nature and Laws of Balance may regard us as far less, since we are the only Creatures that find pleasure in killing our own kind, and describing the act as progress.

Furthermore, we were born knowing nothing, and all our knowledge, verbal or physical, came from the lessons, examples and advice we got from others... Our Parents, Teachers and others became major tributaries to our pool of information... Along the way, both Good and Bad Advice were in abundance, with Persons anxious to supply it free of charge, without caring to take or keep any for themselves.

We were taught that Mangoes don’t fall far from the tree, but we realised that it still depends on how far they rolled... We are accountable for our own decisions, and those who believe in Bible stories may recall how choosing Bad Advice caused Rehoboam to fracture and destroy the Kingdom of Israel... Even as the son and heir of King Solomon, Wisdom and Knowledge were not passed on from father to son.

Paying the Price for the Wrong Advice:

After his father’s death, he was required to make a decision about the Taxes or Tariffs that were placed on the People… Elders counselled him to reduce these Taxes, but it was not what he wished to hear, so he rejected them and took the advice to increase them from his followers...  Trump is no King, but he pretends to be, and his MAGA Clan learned how to curry favour by saying whatever he wants to hear.

They have always known that Tariffs are Taxes on the Poor, but they are grabbing for themselves, so they tell him that Tariffs will make him rich, and his antics to get so, created a 5-alarm warning that is threatening the World… His audacity to bully 150 Nations means that it no longer matters if he changes his mind today, tomorrow, or whenever, and we would be foolish not to prepare for impending dangers.

Fruit trees should have already been planted, farm animals raised, and all essentials stockpiled in preparation for whatever disasters he may cause… To believe that what is happening there will not affect us here, because we spend US Dollars, is sheer nonsense... Fact is, the Dollar is falling, Inflation is rising, and Recession is near...  Even sworn Enemies are seeing the signs and are joining together.

Time for us is running out, but instead of addressing the situation, our Government Agencies are still playing games of victimisation and corruption... Some seem to believe that by issuing Fees and Fines instead of help and guidance, it will fatten the Budget and favour them... However, experience shows that it is far more likely to have the Opposite effect, and if in doubt, just check Rehoboam and the collapse of Israel.

Digging Holes - A Reflection of Imperfection:

We can make life simple or complicated… Musk considered himself a genius, but he never realised that the simple meaning of Trump’s MAGA was, that other People’s “Monies Always Go Away” … He is now trying to get out, but Trump is still caught up in his Greed and Stupidity, as a ‘White Racist with a Slave Mentality’, and ‘A Dog with the Bone personality’... The result is the classic Mirror Image Syndrome.

Thus, whatever he says about others, more likely pertains to himself… Therefore, his threats become comedy, his promises are dead on arrival, and his claims of making America Great Again are leading to its rapid downfall… In less than a year, he nullified the American Revolution, so Fools see him digging and think he is planting Trees or finding Gold, but he is simply burying himself and as many of us as possible.                

He made himself a Prisoner within America, because no reasonable Country will welcome his presence, so he is limited to those Countries that will bribe him and exploit his office… Meanwhile, US Tourism to mega attractions like Disney and Vegas has plummeted, and Major American Companies like Amazon, Boeing, Ford, Walmart, and Coca-Cola, are leaving the US in order to escape the Prison he created.

He overlooked the fact that America is made up of Immigrants, and when he insulted and exiled one set of this group, he was essentially disrupting and deporting America’s Labour Force… At the same time, he was blocking Food, Medicine and other Essentials from entering, without realising that this was the Life’s Blood of the Country… His failures turned the Great America into a Universal Lesson on what not to do.

Learning to Prepare:

If we hope to learn from the do’s and don’ts of Trumpism, then we must be fair to all concerned... We must adopt the Truth and Reality Test, and much depends on whether we play blind, deaf and dumb, or we choose to look, listen and learn... Truth is often less attractive than Lies, but it doesn’t ever change… The Trickledown effects have already reached our shores as Prices get fatter and Dollars get thinner.

Some even blame Prosperity for Crime, but we are fully aware that crime is a product of Society, with a much closer link to the absence of Jobs and presence of Poverty… We are all programmed for Survival, and this works best when the objective is the creation of job opportunities within our financial capacity… This may be easier said than done when Governments subscribe to the Tax and Spend Mentality.

Elon had his own agenda, but DOGE was based on the rationale that a single Government Job used up more resources than that of 4 Private Sector Jobs... It would be counterproductive for the Government to function as competition or a primary Job provider… UK realised this years ago, and China’s success demonstrates the importance of the Government’s role in supporting the Tax Paying Private Sector.

Those of us who believe that we are infallible should take a look at King Rehoboam’s Israel and King Trump’s America... The rest of us should diligently prepare for the unknown, because no one can predict what the combination of Greed and Madness may do... They often use wars to cover their inadequacies - Who knows?... In the meantime, it’s not a matter of just taking my word; please do your own research.
