The Net Widens ~ The Noose Tightens

March 2026

The Net is Closing In. The Noose is Tightening.

When a group of people operates as a gang, the gang looks inward to its mafia boss, its godfather, its gang leader.

Outlandish claims are made. Riding on the crest of a wave, the gang has no respect for legitimate, uncorrupted, law enforcement.

It seeks to usurp all those in whom the enforcement of the law is vested by their constitution, be it a written constitution as one has in America, or in the unwritten constitution as we have in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or as we have in the constitution that is the foundation stone to the European Union.

In each instance, the Parliament therein is the governing authority, the ward keeper and safeguard of the country’s constitution.

All people including governments, government officials and, most importantly, the political leader - political presidents and prime ministers - are answerable to this higher authority.

Where this last point is undermined, democracy quickly morphs into authoritarian, thence into autocracy and culminating in dicatorship.

“WE THE PEOPLE...”

— The Opening Declaration to the Preamble of the Constitution of the United States of America

“... by the People for the People... ”

— President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address in 1863

In a gang, governance is by the gang leader, mafia boss, or godfather. Malignant and self-serving, totally corrupt and evil, founded solely upon nepotism.

Governance is of the people for the benefit of elitist nepotism and oligarchy.

At this stage, this article does not include within this definition the position of constitutional monarchy. That is for separate discussion in another dispatch. It is, unless handled with the greatest caution and care, as susceptible as the gang leader, the nepotist, the despot, the oligarch.

The single principle that binds corruption is simply this:

“I want what you’ve got and I’m going to have it.

I want your oil, your minerals and your revenues. They are mine.

I want your land and your property and I’m going to come in and take it,

for it is for me not you.

And if you don’t comply I will kill you.

Now hand it over.
”

I call this the Russo-Ukraine angle and also now the American-Iran angle.

It takes a while for people to realise what is happening. As each day passes and a situation, an argument, a demand cannot be resolved by the gang leader’s narrow transactional mind, things begin to go wrong for the gang. Members of the gang become restless. Outlandish claims are increasingly questioned. Some lose their lives in daring to question. Peaceful protests are interpreted as acts of insurrection, acts of terrorism.

A government governs for the benefit of the people.

A gang does not govern. A gang is a dictatorship emanating from a single being, the malignant criminally motivated gang leader.

Smooth talk buys time.

But a year on from the gang’s formation, with no change that benefits anyone other than the gang leader and his oligarchs and nepo-babes…

Whispers begin.

A gang starts shedding itself, and those left inside become increasingly aware that they are seeing the net close in, they sense with alarm a noose tightening. Some jump ship.

This is where America is now.

Will the gang leader survive this present term of office?

What would replace him? Who would replace him?

In times of difficulty for a gang, rival gangs tend to coalesce. They can kill each other and that ultimate goal will never change. But for a time they agree to assist each other.

Russia comes to the aid of Iran.

China comes to the aid of Russia.

Two gangs against the American gang.

What was it that a man said in a world-famous office to the President of a Nation withstanding the aggression of Russia rampaging that Nation’s Land and People?

“You are gambling with World War Three!”

— The 47th in his temper tantrum in a tiny oval room crammed with officials and media and microphones and cameras

Adolf Hitler said much the same to Great Britain in 1940 upon rejection by silence of his generous offer of peace. The rest is history.

To the American People, only you can sort the matter out. You alone can touch the rudder of your once great country and you need only do this through the ballot box.
