America’s Rendezvous
With
Fate And Destiny
by
R.E. Prindle
America’s
rendezvous with Fate and Destiny are upon us.
American history is roughly composed of four epochs: The first from
Colonial times to the Civil War, the second the Gilded Age from the Civil War
to the end of the Hoover Administration, the third from Franklin Delano
Roosevelt to the end of Obama with the Fourth Epoch beginning with the Trump
Administration. The epochal transitions have
been traumatic and this one bodes to be no less so. The so-called democracy will end but
hopefully the Republic will survive.
It takes a
universe of tiny raindrops to form a great river so my little example here of
the ending of the Third Epoch should be taken with the amusement that is its
intent. Time Magazine, perhaps one of
the greatest symbols of the Third Epoch has fallen on hard times, the end is
near. Once the arbiter of America’
cultural affairs now its death rattle can be heard throughout the land.
On February
11th, I received a solicitation from Time in the mail offering me a ‘Senior’s’
subscription. They must have bought the
mailing list from AARP. The solicitation
is a direct appeal to its last surviving constituency. It offered me for 20.00 fifty-three weekly
issues, an Ultronic Weather Station clock, to tick off my last days apparently,
and an additional six month extension, all for twenty dollars. That’s a money loser, the magazine has
virtually no advertising so someone must be keeping the magazine alive. When it goes it will be an epitaph for the
epoch.
But what of
the future? What of America’s ultimate
destiny? Obama left office with the US
in virtual ruins, his legacy I suppose, literally divided, fractured, in many
ways. Any sense of sanity has
evaporated. People march for the sake of
marching using pink symbols of the female vulva on their heads, marches by
voters demanding the voter’s rights they have just exercised. Sure,
they lost but there is no guarantee you’ve got a winner’s vote.
Even Obama
who got used to the accoutrements of power is unhappy. No longer able to take multi-million dollar
vacations at the voter’s expense in Air Force One or helicopter rides here and
there, he is essentially refusing to give up power setting up an alternate
government in New York in the hopes of making Trump’s presidency a two year
affair. Yes, he’s giving Trump two years
and out. By constant political agitation
he hopes to drive Trump from office in 1918, expecting a huge Congressional
surge in 2018 toward the Democrats that he hopes to use to set aside the
Constitutional Amendment limiting a President to two terms, clearing the way
for his reelection in 2020.
Never very
bright, Obama fails to see looming on the horizon a candidate of formidable
ability- Jeff Bezos. Bezos now the
virtual arbiter of retail America with fingers deep into many aspects of commerce
he has his eye set on the 2020 election for himself. A couple years ago he bought the Washington
Post newspaper. Paid the asking price
without a qualm.
The Post was
losing money bigly. One wondered what
its use was intended to be. Apparently
to further Jeff’s political objectives.
Perhaps it gives him an incomparable listening post in the Capital. He used his paper to defame now President
Trump during the election. One assumes
that that will be its purpose during Trump’s administration as well as to build
up his own candidacy. He will have to
unmask himself sometime in 2019 if that is his intent.
Just now he
has taken full credit for thwarting the President’s immigration order suspending entry from
certain countries. We hear that Amazon’s
corporate legal staff prepared the whole objection giving it to the Ninth
Circuit’s Seattle judge who declared the executive order unconstitutional. I would think this places the Amazon
Corporation in a difficult position. Do
its Articles of Incorporation include political activities? Well, Bezos, an obvious genius, knows his
business, one supposes.
Thus, at the
commencement of the Fourth Epoch we have the Constitutional President, a
disgruntled ex-president and a businessman of unexampled power in physical combat
for the 2020 election. Has anyone read
of the same sort of contest in Roman history?
Of course
other threats may unreel but to be an effective president Trump has to
neutralize both Obama and Bezos. He
cannot effectively govern while defending himself from if not criminal, near
criminal activities from them.
As regards
Obama, I would just exile him; give him twenty-four hours to leave on his own
or he would be put on a commercial flight back home to Kenya. Probably his associates in crime should be
exiled too.
As for
Bezos, there are the anti-trust laws to break up his various enterprises under
the Amazon umbrella. That should keep
him busy. Amazon itself has violated
something by interjecting themselves into governmental affairs. That might also fall under anti-trust
provisions.
The point
being that the President cannot sit idly and allow these two men to operated
openly against him. The so-called democracy is over. Left with the Third Epoch. Both Obama and Bezos are authoritarian
personalities with extreme delusions of grandeur, Narcissism, acting as
autocrats. This cannot be allowed in the
Republic. The institution of exile must
be revived to deal with this dangerous situation.
The
President is the President, he must do what he must to protect the country from
enemies from without and more importantly within. Obama and Bezos could drive the country to
civil war and no one wants that. An
ounce of prevention… It is the President’s
Constitutional duty to remedy. There
would be no violation of law. Exile is
certainly within his options.
Act now,
quickly and firmly deal with revolutionary dissidents as a president must.
