 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:
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. This piece was published on February 7, 2025 at Perrin Lovett.
