The Trumpening 2.0: A Long-term Ownership Interest??

 

Hope is a good thing, so says the Bible. Regarding certain matters, hope tempered with logic and caution may be a better thing. The Trump is back at the facade helm of the Yankee empire. I sometimes feel like I’m at odds with some Trump enthusiasts. It’s not that I entirely disagree with them, it’s just that when it comes to Trump in particular and ‘Murika in general I pass my hope through the forge a little longer. How’s that? Trump may certainly help, and already he’s showing promise, but nothing can stop the decline of the empire. Nor should anything stop it. Real Americans should take whatever reprieve they’re given and do what they can to ameliorate the underpinning problems of Old America (which predate 1776 by centuries) and, here and there, build for the future. Herein, I take a quick look at a few Trumpy items of late that may or may not have much to do with that reprieve.

But first, I slowed much of my analysis of practical matters lately. In some parts and for a little while, I took a break from the madness. Inspiration or the Holy Spirit called, and I wrote a Christian romance novel, unlike anything you’ve likely read before. It’s certainly nothing like my ordinary fiction. JUDGING ATHENA is forthcoming (soon) from Green Altar Books, roughly 330 pages of innocent, pure romance coupled with salvation-oriented apologetics, and with a plot device that is utterly unique. Please keep track of the progress via my new Telegram hub

Trump is very difficult to gauge or predict, primarily because one cannot usually take his statements at face value. So, just like from 2017-2021, we are now playing a collective waiting game. As promised, with one phone call, in 24 hours, he ended the NATO Nazi’s war on Russia, so he now has time and resources for other endeavors. Trump says he wants to annex or conquer Mexico, Panama, Canada, Greenland, Pluto, Narnia, and Gaza. He’s said a lot about Gaza, so I’ll primarily focus on that. He’s also mentioning something about multipolarity. However, those mentionings smell like a last-ditch attempt to keep ‘Murika front and center in the emerging sovereign world order. As many international organizations that used to serve Washingtonian interests are now faltering, failing, or realigning, an effort is underway to … do something. Trump’s team is targeting UN agencies like UNRWA because they are anti-Murikan. Or anti-satanic. Or something. A seasoned and intelligent diplomat, Russia’s Sergei Lavrov, sees different potential in the older establishments, the potential to conform them away from DC and towards an honest multipolar responsibility. My money is on the Russian perspective. 

Some might call the remembrance “anti-satanic”, but one may recall that one founding principle of the UN, along with so many Resolutions, demands a free and independent Palestinian State. One may also recall that since October 2023, the Zionists and Yankees have waged an all-out genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, with rank spillover in the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Yemen. Trump has been given some credit for the late ceasefire (may it hold!), and that credit may in part be due; however, great credit is also due to the Resistance for enduring. Alas, they still have more to resist.

Trump previously begged Egypt and Jordan to take in the Palestinians so the Zionists could complete their 80-year land theft. In a meeting the other day with a corrupt dictator, genocidal maniac, and wanted war criminal, the Trump floated a plainly insane-sounding idea about the GAE taking over Gaza and turning it into a Trump hotel, casino, and golf complex, possibly to be managed by Jared Kushner. Most of the world scoffed at the idea. For their part, the Palestinians refuse to give up what’s always been theirs—regardless of the threats or consequences. 

(The war criminal is seen here, awaiting Trump in DC, attended by his unnamed manservant.)

Who knows what Trump means by any of this? As a wheeler-dealer and carnival barker, he’s known to say anything, oftentimes as a negotiation starting point or a ploy. Time will tell as always. But Gaza does need rebuilding—on terms strictly dictated by the Palestinians. And the Yankees and Zionists who ruined the place should foot the bill for repairing it. To be blunt, to ease the process along, Trump should remove all the Zionists to the GAE homeland, freeing and returning Palestine to the Palestinians. That would be a win-win, as in confused places like South Carolina and Tennessee, the Zionists would be literally worshipped like pagan gods. Palestine would be free to join BRICS, prosper, and get on with repopulating in the wake of the genocide.

Trump may have inadvertently hinted at the magnitude of the Gazacaust during one of his meetings with the aforementioned war criminal. The Palestine Chronicle does a decent job trying to estimate and update the known death and injury tolls in Gaza. Right now, the number of those killed stands at around 62,000.

Those are kinetic or martial kills. The Lancet’s methodology also includes those who died of disease and starvation proximately caused by the genocide, which is how modern war death tolls are properly assessed. That total estimate could range between 250,000 and 300,000 and perhaps higher. MOA thinks Trump knows how much higher:

The internationally acknowledged Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics’ count of the population of Gaza in 2023 was 2,226,544. Trump wants to remove all Palestinians from Gaza and gives their number as 1.7 or 1.8 million:

Reporter: How many people are you thinking need to leave Gaza?

Trump: “All of them. Probably a million seven, maybe a million eight. They’ll be settled in areas where they can live a beautiful life.”

This is an acknowledgement, by the president of the United States, that the genocidal Zionists have murdered up to 500,000 people in Gaza.

Pepe Escobar, by the way, reads that as perhaps 600,000 dead. If one knows of a certain second-century prophecy, then there’s a pathetic and luciferian irony in it if Pepe is correct. As-is, 62,000 is bad enough. One wonders how, aside from acting as a waiter, Trump plans to address this avoidable and evil calamity. One wonders a lot of things. Still, wonder with a little hope. And we shall see.

Deo vindice.

Banning Usury?

In Russia, of course. Doing that in ‘Murika would undermine one of the three primary tenants of our cherished ‘Murikan “values”.

Konstantin Malofeev mentions the subject, among others, in a recent interview. about his Tsargrad TV channel. (All in Russian.)

Since he’s a billionaire, perhaps Trump can cancel all the fake indictments and sanctions against him and recruit him to come help save what’s left of America. Make Money Honest Again.

A Christian Romance Novel

, ,

I’ve been given the green light for a soft announcement about one of my most important projects ever.

JUDGING ATHENA

(Not the cover. Rose is AI art made by me with Canva.)

Who is Athena? How is she judged? Why? And by who? JUDGING ATHENA is a Christian romance novel unlike anything you’ve read before and utterly unlike anything you’ve read from me. It is my favorite of all my written works ever. You’ll meet the lovely lady soon, courtesy of Green Altar Books!

A little advance praise for ATHENA:

ATHENA is brilliant … a beautiful portrayal of the relation of man and woman at the highest level.” -Dr. Clyde Wilson, Dean of Southern history, author of Calhoun: A Statesman for the 21st Century and so many good books.

The ending blew me away! I’ve never read a romance that was also religious and profound, sweet, and also promoting holiness. And the “secret” was very original – I have never seen or thought of a concept quite like that.” -Anne Wilson Smith, author of Charlottesville Untold.

Fantastic … the best thing you’ve ever written.” -Paul C. Graham, author of Nonsense on Stilts.

I’d love to say more, but we’re under hard development, working on the “real” cover and preparing the Advance Review Copies / physical proofs. While I’ve been okayed to mention it, I can’t divulge too many details. It’s too soon to estimate when the book will be available for sale, so I’ll just say “soon”. I’m told we’ll have e-books, paperbacks, and a first for me – hardbacks! She’ll be roughly 330 pages of innocent, pure romance coupled with salvation-oriented apologetics. The plot device, the “secret” Anne mentioned, is utterly unique. I think you’ll like love it!

More directly. -P

Complimentary North and South

No, not yankees and Americans. Professor Dugin breaks down the evolving relationship between Russia and Iran.

Multipolar World: Russia and Iran as an Example of Complementary Regimes

In the contemporary political landscape, as in historical practice, different types of political relations can be distinguished. Politicians can take different positions, ranging from enemies to opponents, as well as neutral forces or allies. However, there are states and ideological regimes that have a clear complementarity to each other.

An example of such complementarity is the relationship between Russia and Iran. There are no contradictions of any kind between the two countries. In both Russia and Iran there are traditional values as well as a common rejection of Western hegemony and globalization. These aspects are at the core of the policies, worldviews and sovereignty of both nations.

China is certainly an important partner for Russia, but its involvement in globalization poses certain challenges for the further development of relations with Russia. The Chinese economy is deeply integrated into the Western market, which makes it difficult to talk about closeness with this country in the same way as with Iran. The Islamic Republic of Iran is in a completely different situation: it is much closer to Russia in terms of geopolitical, political, ideological and worldview aspects.

Thus, subtle distinctions need to be made in foreign policy. Politics is not a linear process; there are indeed friends, but there are also allies and partners, interests and values. Russia and Iran have interests and values that are as close as possible.

Thirty Per Hour

Tags

, ,

Remember all the retarded hand-wringing over the prospects of paying people a $15/hour minimum wage? Remember me saying that wasn’t nearly high enough? Remember the mean old math? Eh?

It’s still not high enough, but IBT reports Costco is about to take a strong step in the right direction by raising US hourly wages to over $30 per hour.

Why’s it not high enough? Math. If labor costs had kept pace – I tire or rehashing this over and over – with other large ticket items (homes, education, medical, etc.), then the current minimum wage would be $40+ per hour. And the overall average salary would be in the $350,000 per year. Instead, we have pushed the mass financialization envelope past the breaking point. $30 will help. But the late increase (by the one company alone) reflects the truth that the last thing that ever increases under this evil and doomed system is pay for ordinary people. Still, very good on Costco and maybe send them some business.

Future solution: 1) real money; 2) cancel the (fake) debts, and; 3) burn the usury-mongers and their pet fanatics and enablers.

Horrendous Numbers

Tags

,

I loosely but regularly follow the Gaza death and injury tallies provided by the PC. With the ceasefire holding for the most part, I had assumed or hoped that as missing persons (aka, the unaccounted for dead) were found, their number would drop towards zero as the number of known deaths rose in accordance. I did not expect this revision:

“Killed” soared over the weekend and “missing” increased as well. It’s safe to assume 99% of the missing are dead too, likely killed martially. So, as-is now, the total of known kinetic deaths is almost 76,000. It is possible health authorities are factoring in ancillary deaths (disease and starvation directly attributed to the conflict). We’ll have to see what’s announced. Whether or not that’s the case, the known and/or suspected total dead in the Gazacaust is steadily rising towards or in conjunction with the estimate factors laid out last summer by the Lancet. 76,000 dead is approximately 4% of the Gaza population. Increased by a factor or 4-5, it could easily be 15-20%.

Anyone who tells you the zionists and yankees have not committed genocide against the Palestinians is a wicked, stupid, reality-denying, math-challenged, demon-possessed fool.

UPDATE REVISION: It appears someone perhaps fat fingered the calculator the other day. Back in line with last week now, though still awful.

UPDATE: they factored in the missing:

A Few Things…

Howdy, blog loyalists,

One may recall that long ago, this place was a [dot]com. Then I grew lazy, pirates stole mah domain, and we became a lowly [dot]me. After a ten-year wait, I have reconquered the [dot]com! It links back here for now, as does the address for my new … AUTHOR WEBSITE! That site, while technically “live”, is currently under construction: Coming soon and you’ll read all about it here first.

For now http://www.perrinlovett.com = http://www.perrinlovett.me. The new duality (or something else?) has caused a spike in the otherwise sad and anemic traffic around here over the past few days.

I was about to announce something else. Something BIG. In fact, I was going to do it on Friday, but Mr. Publisher Man told me to hold off on amateur pronouncements as officialdom looms large and imminent. Friends, I have a new novel coming soon. It’s my first Christian romance work, and it’s something else. It is unlike any such book you’ve read before and utterly unlike anything you’ve ever read by me. The wait will be worth it.

Let’s see… There’s also this: I now have a (slowly developing) Telegram channel:

https://t.me/perrinlovettbooks

I’ll add more, and add a permanent link here, when I figure out how it works. Please feel free to join now, just don’t expect too much for a short while. I may at some point add a presence at Dzen or VK or something similar, but I had no plans for anything on “X”, Facebot, or any other mainstream site. Unless, that is, I get an agent and the agent forcibly sets something up and runs it. (I’m loosely, listlessly agent shopping – mainly for foreign and film rights – for what that’s worth.)

That’ll do for now, and I am dying to discuss the new book. It’s already been described as “brilliant … a beautiful portrayal,” “…profound, sweet, and also promoting holiness,” and “Fantastic … the best thing you’ve ever written.” She is not from around here.

Happy Sunday,

Perrin

“Democracy” in Syria

Tags

Thank goodness that the dictator was deposed in Damascus! Now the people of Syria are free to not vote for their future. Ahmed al-Sharaa has declared himself Head Leader Guy In Charge and abolished the constitution. This is what democracy looks like, kids. This is the application of the rules-based international disorder. Remember, only authoritarian countries like Russia and Iran bother with trivial things like elections and laws.
