Part I

Well, there we have it.

America is exposed for precisely the nation and people it has become.

Fifty disparate states that are unable to control either its Congress or Senate or the man the Country put into the White House and who has now confirmed what the world has known since at least 2015 ~ that Trump is firmly in the pocket of Putin, always has been, and always will be.

Putin is the puppeteer. Trump is the willing puppet.

Trump is a mind that is mindless. Trump is a man that is so dangerous to democracy and freedom, and yet the American people are completely unable to undo the damage that they did when they brought a convicted felon back to the White House for a second term, even though the world looked on aghast.

Part II

Trump is a liability to everyone. Trump and Putin have caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, and still continue to do so on a daily basis. A conservative estimate suggests a figure that edges towards two million!

Trump is a criminal. He cannot be trusted. He stabs his friends in the back. That is what criminals do. That is the mindset of the mafia.

Part III

This is what the American electorate are responsible for.

For too long, the American people have tried to make out that they are innocent victims, hoodwinked, and that the world needs to look to them not only to help them but to invite them back to leadership.

Every night, world news is dominated by the hapless American straining under the weight and pressure of gas prices at the pump. Vegetable prices. Cost of living prices. Yet, still Americans are paying less than people in the Continent of Europe, namely the European Union and also the United Kingdom. We know how you feel, America. But the solution lies with you all next month.

Great America – currently living beyond its means, and culpable for its present predicament.

If the American Electorate does not take decisive action in the Midterms, then there will be a seismic reaction. Like a crack in the foundation stone that is for a while not noticed, quickly grows longer up the wall and wider too. And then, unless arrested and vigorously repaired and repointed, then the wall will collapse at the first great storm.

America will disintegrate. And this all started with Trump the moment you let him steal from you the great Republican Party.

Part IV

Meanwhile, Trump is now beside himself that he has yet again failed to be chosen as the 2026 Recipient for the Nobel Peace Prize.

This does not say so much about him - the world knows that his trajectory is doomward - but it speaks volumes about the lack of reaction by the American Congress and the failure of the American Electorate to the Twenty-Fifth Amendment.

His demand for the removal of a President that achieves more in sixty minutes than he can ever achieve in 365 days?

Bluntly, it is time for the Men in Whote Coats.

Part V

As for the USA? It is finished. There is no return from this point.

There is, however, one tiny point. As the great ship of state keels over and soon will slide, lightless, beneath the waves, there are numerous lifeboats… and therein, with Ships steaming at full speed to come alongside, are the independent journalists who are fearless in their resolve to truthfully report to the American People. I do not name them here, they are named in other dispatches, simply because they, too, are threatened, they too find themselves on a list maintained by White House Staffers. Some have been banned, fortunately the Courts have reversed the bans.

But last evening, following a torrid durge of abusive Truth Socials from trump himslef about the Recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, we now have the spectre, yes, I choose that noun deliberately, the spectre of Marco Rubio announcing sanctions against member of the International Criminal Court in the Hague. As if that is not enough, on official israel prime ministerial letterhead, Benjamin Netanyahu, has vilified Norway and the Nobel Peace Prize Recipient.

I have spent much time in Israel. I wonder where my Israeli friends stand.

But at the day’s end, the guiltiest man in this whole terrifying debacle stretching back to way before the 2016 Election is Trump. He it is who, comment after comment on Social Media in America, now labels, a traitor, guilty of treason and so forth.
