GIVEN A CHOICE between Donald Trump and Bill Gates as a possible Republican candidate for the presidency of the United States, the national council of the party would probably prefer the image of a Bill Gates if he had volunteered.
It is Donald Trump in fact who has volunteered, and while he might appear to be the metaphorical “Uglier American”, he is the truer natural image of his country today which wants, as distinct from needs, more of everything available.
This insatiable desire to become the greatest again as if it ever was in what matters most, vibrates with the chords of “Deutschland Uber Alles” that faded 70 years ago.
The irony is that the commander-in-chief of the vaunted military might of the US is impotent without the information withheld for whatever reason from the White House by the CIA, Homeland Security and other “secret” agencies, as well as legislative support of Congress for the administration. These altogether provide more checks than balance for the exercise of power in Washington.
That would ruffle Trump as much as any other elected president had been.
Internationally, the diversity of the demands of the population of the world in the 21st century is too great a challenge for any feasible global economy without the universal imposition of imperial power that reality can neither conceive nor tolerate. Checkmate.
With the consequential dismantling of the Tower of Babel (20th Model) we come to a quiet age of the Renaissance of national isolationism for all independent sovereign countries as prophesised by Micah 3 000 years ago:
“They shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make him afraid, for the month of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it.
“For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.”
Concerning spears to pruning hooks, it is remarkable how every citizen of the US without the constitutional provision of a well-regulated militia as a necessity for the security for a free state, may keep and bear arms, but no sovereign independent state may furnish itself with arms for the same purpose of security except on pain of sanction and penalty imposed by the US, which itself does not acknowledge the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice. Could any future president of the US solve that riddle?
