It is ev­i­dent that the world is evolv­ing in­to a new and dif­fer­ent way. This evo­lu­tion is tak­ing mul­ti­ple forms and one of the more se­ri­ous paths is the sit­u­a­tion in the Unit­ed States of Amer­i­ca and those who con­trol the be­hav­iour of their ad­min­is­tra­tion.

The Re­pub­li­cans, led by Pres­i­dent Trump, are very com­mit­ted to ac­cus­ing the oth­er can­di­date and the De­mo­c­rat Par­ty, led by Biden/Har­ris, of be­ing the in­stru­ments of this new era and of a dif­fer­ent re­al­i­ty. I note that the on­ly de­fence guilty per­sons’ have is ac­cus­ing some­one else of the very wrong they are do­ing.

A clear and ob­jec­tive re­view of the Don­ald Trump’s poli­cies over the last four years in­di­cate that he has his own un­der­stand­ing of moral­i­ty and his pre­tence to be a leader is cloud­ed by his shout­ing and his is­su­ing of ex­ec­u­tive or­ders.

In this way he in­stils fear with­in his own ad­min­is­tra­tion, and he at­tempts to make peo­ple be­lieve that he is in charge. He has no re­al au­thor­i­ty oth­er than that of his pre­sumed mon­ey and his af­fir­ma­tion from per­sons who are sworn en­e­mies of the free world.

His ad­min­is­tra­tion is rid­dled with a to­tal dis­re­gard for hu­man life (de­spite his lip ser­vice against abor­tion). His treat­ment of: per­sons who have been in prison for a short while or for a long time who are dan­gers to so­ci­ety; his treat­ment of chil­dren whom he ei­ther locks up on the bor­der or in­sists that they go to school; his to­tal dis­re­gard of mi­grants and refugees (seek­ing a bet­ter way of life) his treat­ment of per­sons who present him with truth, (dis­miss­ing them from Of­fice) his xeno­pho­bic at­ti­tude that finds res­o­nance with a few of his cit­i­zens as ev­i­denced in the way he treats His­pan­ic, Asians, Blacks, and all per­sons dif­fer­ent from him; and his silent sup­port of the white su­prema­cist move­ment.

Pres­i­dent Trump is a dan­ger to hu­man life: to civ­i­liza­tion and to gen­uine progress not on­ly of Amer­i­ca but of the free world. He is not able to un­der­stand him­self and rather than look­ing with­in him­self he points his fin­ger to oth­ers whom he ac­cus­es of the faults he can­not face with­in him­self; it is a means of dis­trac­tion.

I am thor­ough­ly amazed that lead­ing Catholic of­fi­cials seem to be blind­ed by his de­mon­ic in­flu­ence and pre­tend that he is a “sav­iour to the Amer­i­can Peo­ple and prob­a­bly the world”

Pres­i­dent Trump has NOT of­fered any re­al lead­er­ship that is root­ed in the val­ues of Truth, In­tegri­ty, and Com­pas­sion­ate con­cern for the wel­fare of the Amer­i­can Peo­ple. He con­tin­ues to un­der­mine ba­sic in­sti­tu­tions in the Amer­i­can So­ci­ety (and the var­i­ous ma­jor world or­ga­ni­za­tions NA­TO, WHO, UN etc) so much that he rel­ish­es in the dis­uni­ty that he has sown among the Amer­i­can peo­ple.

This type of lead­er­ship is what he em­u­lates in so­ci­eties that were en­e­mies of the Free World. He has de­lib­er­ate­ly be­friend­ed these lead­ers against the ad­vice of com­pe­tent se­cu­ri­ty of­fi­cials serv­ing his own coun­try. These coun­tries have been sworn en­e­mies not on­ly of Amer­i­ca BUT al­so of the sta­bil­i­ty of world civ­i­liza­tion and rather than be­friend them he should be en­gag­ing in diplo­mat­ic con­ver­sa­tions con­duct­ed by the prop­er au­thor­i­ties in his coun­try.

Amer­i­ca, with all its pre­vi­ous­ly ar­ro­gant and colo­nial at­ti­tudes to­wards the rest of the world is now liv­ing as a colony of Rus­sia and its al­lies. There have been grow­ing signs that Amer­i­ca is los­ing its grip on man­ag­ing its own in­ter­nal and for­eign af­fairs and is al­low­ing the New World Or­der to mere­ly march along.

The one hope for the Amer­i­can peo­ple and for the Free World is to move away from the Trump­ism that is char­ac­ter­is­ing the pol­i­tics of the New World Or­der. We must be aware of the dis­hon­est lan­guage which seeks to present the al­ter­na­tive in­to the de­mon. But the re­al de­mon is the one that re­sides in the present ad­min­is­tra­tion.

It is my hum­ble de­sire that on No­vem­ber 3, 2020, the Amer­i­can peo­ple will do away with the de­ceit of the present ad­min­is­tra­tion and seek a fresh man­date to re­turn moral­i­ty, in­tegri­ty, and hu­man­i­ty in­to the White House.
