Trump on Gaza was shocking and brazen. It doesn't make sense within the confines of any conventional political calculus. (For example, did he really need to do this to get Evangelicals on board? Nope, unless he's playing out their fantastical second-coming narrative. But come on! That's only 30% of the voters! Do I have evidence that Trump "believes"-- provided the "belief" could be condensed into a single, unarguable view? No. So, I consider it possible, but unlikely).
So, I'm left with only 2 rational possibilities, each with 2 parts:
1. It is distraction from automatic or concocted resets.
All my studies of the archeology of the present (aka, history) reveal overwhelming evidence for resets at the Biblical scale. For example, Montana State University at its "founding":
Like the "Wizard of Oz," Victorian "adventurers" and their lovely wives (Karens) wandered into "Bonanza."
Either people or giant people built this and vanished or God or gods (or who knows?) erected it in advance of the arrival of our families. These people didn't do it. No way. No how.
A. What's the point? Resets have happened. They are perceived as terrifying and miraculous. Maybe they happen automatically as part of a matrix-like reality (see, Breshears on YT); perhaps they are initiated by an irritated God (Sodom and Gomorrah); perhaps they are completed by mere mortals and they disappear from here (leaving only the "discourses of the vanishing"). Sorry to say, I don't know. I do know that people, like me, can figure this out (I had a good idea 30 years ago); therefore, I can conclude that more powerful people than me with better access to knowledge and controlled intellectual power (e.g., the CIA) can be prepping to survive the changes to come and, literally, "inherit the earth." If President and Casino-owner Trump's job in all this is to distract and entertain, then he's really doing a bang-up job.
B. If the resets are concocted by people themselves, well.... then the statement of Jesus, "...Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?" starts to have even more forceful and terrifying implications. And, again, I'm at a loss to explain Trump on Gaza. Why? The MAGA movement has been about breaking free of the controller class and its planned resets. Is Trump doing his part in the concoction of an American world reset? He'd be breaking his promise of "America First." Promises are cheap. I know millions of people feel betrayed today. Turning Gaza into another haunted beach-front city on tax-payer dime is beyond hypocritical. It is probably treasonous.
2. Trump is conducting "business" New York style or there's really something to "the chosen people"-- but not as commonly understood.
A. I finally went through Trump's book,
The Art of the Deal this weekend. I highly recommend it. Not because I learned how (LOL) to make a fortune in real estate; rather, because I could see in that book an American "be-bopping and scatting" through a pressure cooking environment to achieve his dreams. I found his dreams nauseating and boring. Come on! Is Trump Tower or his casino business worthy of admiration and pride? Well, whatever... This is America. And he is an American character. He parlayed his inheritance in money and know how into an earthly empire. Most of us will not get close to that. Nonetheless, I found his methods of bombast and determination and commitment to be admirable
as American.
Compare
The Art of the Deal with
Mein Kaumpf. Hitler is generally accurate in his assessments but insane (and ironic-- see the next section) in his ethnic hatreds. Trump gives everyone a reasonable chance to show themselves. Like Hitler, Trump is bombastic and a showman. Both had/have followers of worrisome simplicity and devotion. Nonetheless, there is something American about Trump. He doesn't seek to silence or extinguish. He wants the
Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution put in Bibles. (I hope this is done. But Trump will never mandate it). Free speech is something he values highly. He's not gonna hand over the megaphone or academic professions to fringe characters; they will need to earn it-- against all odds. This is the America that Trump represents.
Trump is right to call this autobiography "The Art of the Deal." For this art is at the heart of everything he does. And what he did, especially his early years in Manhattan, was over the top and unimaginable. Making deals centers on entering relationships, making offers and counter offers, being prepared to walk away or plunge forward, thinking of others and thinking of your bottom line. Complexity in a constantly changing world, managing it and having fun doing it... That's Trump. So, I read Trump on Gaza as some kind of weird and outrageous offer to the world. It is as if to say: "Well, we have a mess. Let's fix it. How 'bout we turn it into a water skier's paradise resort?" His offer was that absurd, but it is in keeping with his character. Moreover, Trump is taking over--
changing the discourse-- forcing everyone to come to terms with his outrageous terms before the improvements are initiated. I noticed that Trump did not mention Israel at all.
B. I just obtained 2 books I wanted badly to read:
When Scotland was Jewish and
Jews and Muslims in British Colonial America, both books by Elizabeth Hirshmann and Donald Yates (yes, both Jewish).
I just got started with these, but the point is clear: basically, we're all Jewish or Moorish! It is nuts, I know. The story goes that during the Spanish Inquisition (1492), the Jews and Moors (i.e., "blacks") had to convert, get out or, well,
auto da fe. They fled to the British Isles, Northern Europe and America. Often they came under new, assumed Christian names-- double protection, as it were.
Why was the church hassling them? My guess is that the Moors and Jews, both mono-theists with a strong orientation towards reason and personal achievement, were a threat to top-down rule.
The fact is that Northern Europe from the 12th century or so was called the Hanseatic League. Here's a map from that time.
Here is a coin from that realm, and we see the name of Yahweh.
Do I believe that Jews are the "chosen people?" Heck if I know! I've read the Bible as a believer, an atheist, and stunned adult. I can't determine what is real or not in it. None of it makes sense. The God in the Bible, Yahweh, is terrible. Jesus is like every other spiritual teacher. The story of creation is contradictory (was the snake really evil for getting Eve to eat the apple?). I can go through countless strange features. I think it just as likely that entire thing was rewritten and edited to further advance political and spiritual interests that are, well, Satanic-- that is,
against individualism and reason.
When I say all of us are Jewish, I'm pointing at all of us from Northern Europe. Most of us are (sorta) Christian, nowadays. But I'm beginning to think that was an imposition on our original and individual connection to God or Source or The Holy Spirit or whatever one wants to call it. Moreover, I wonder if "Yahweh"-- as now understood-- is a concoction of Renaissance Catholic writers to blackwash the prevailing "Christian" universalist ideals and practices. I do know that Martin Luther and John Calvin were, as they say, "crypto" Jews (Jewish by birth; Christian by identification). Similarly, Hitler was himself 1/4th Jewish and from aristocratic Austrian lines.
This brings me to the idea of the chosen people. I think this idea is totally misunderstood by people today and identified by an artificial creation called "Israel." American Christians are the world's greatest Zionists because they have been brainwashed into believing that a concocted book is the holy book of God. It is not even a proven fact that today's Israel is the same as that identified in the Bible. Locations in France much more clearly follow the New Testament story if the life Jesus to make sense. (If I might add: why are there swine in Judea?)
What I think is this: we're all chosen people, so long as we promote spiritual individualism (free speech, etc) and honor the Father of Creation (who is most certainly not the Yahweh of the Bible).
Was it just luck that allowed Europeans to walk onto the shores of America and take the lands and infrastructure after a cataclysm, a disappearing act, or act of God/gods? Maybe. But when the Jewish converts came to America, they saw the indigenous people as the sons of Abraham. (There is some truth in the
Book of Mormon). That the local people were eventually enslaved and called "Africans" tells me more about how the Bible was adulterated and that the original spirituality of our ancestors was distorted than about people. (That is, people are naturally neutral-to-good; with training, they can become hideous monsters).
So what does this say about Trump's supposed deal? About cataclysms? We're all watching...
