Trump, Netanyahu and Churchill! Standing up in a time of great moral crisis and hypocrisy. Thank god! Not the first time in history when a weak appeaser creates social chaos, until a time when a leader with some morals and ethics stands up for what is right. The first group have a special place below the ground reserved for them, while the second, against all odds, stands proud and tall, and remembered!
While Trump's victory may break "the leftist, woke juggernaut that was poised to deliver a certain unavoidable death blow to America's republican democracy and all the freedoms it represents and leads the world in," it was also the triumph of fantasy over reality, for as Jim Heller writes, he is not the ice-cream-eating, Rolls-Royce driving maharaji or a saviour who was saved by God from an assassin's bullet. Trump has some good views and some bad views, and like other politicians he will burnish his image more than the dreams of the citizenry. Yet change is good, particularly away from woke rule. This is a wonderful article.
They say the best day after the revolution is the first one, hopefully that won't be the case here. I'm not a big Trump fan but in the end he was chosen over Harris, who couldn't seem to articulate her point of view clearly and who seemed more comfortable with celebrities than identifying with the average American. We know exactly where Trump stands and I'm really hoping he can end the Ukraine war quickly for starters. I'm worried about his proposed 10 per cent tariff, which would apply to Canada if he decides to go with that, and his deportation plans, which might start thousands of illegal immigrants moving up to Canada. I believe Pierre Poliviere would be the best person to negotiate with Trump.
Once a cultist always a cultist, I guess. Both these guys are liars and narcissists who exploit people. The latter has demonstrated himself to have pretty much every vile trait I can think of, and he is the cure for "wokeness"? If his election is, "The most significant event in human history," it is because his election demonstrates what the other half of stupidity looks like: performative good works versus willful destruction, both motivated by narcissisim and greed.
I'm really curious why the majority of Americans would vote for such a person. These voters don't see him the way you do, that's for sure, but how can points of view be so oppositional? One view sees Trump as the savior of America and the other sees him as everything "vile." It seems kind of split down the middle. I have a friend in Texas who's a Trump fan, he's a University graduate who grew up in the slums of New York City and became one of the driving forces for Dell Computers. His wife, who is Asian American, voted for Trump because she grew up in China under Mao and is very anti-anything Marxist because of what she experienced in that country.
Cult’s are all about information, opinion and behavior control. In other words everything. When I was a “premie” following Rawat I tried, as expected, to dedicate my every breath, every moment to him and, on the ultimately invasive Hinduism-on-steroids notion that our ego-driven minds were essentially foreign occupiers masking and separating us from merging with God within (who, if so happens, was manifest externally in the world as - that’s right, you guess it - Maharaji himself) also tried to suppress and control it. I / we - it was all the same - tried to serve our minds, on putative silver platters up to him. No room for doubts. Don’t think shit, just meditate constantly. And feel the joy - oh sorry, I meant love.
Thus we never questioned anything and cleaved to a very strict almost slave like path of service, satsang (singing and hearing his praises) and meditation.
Sometime we got high on it. Lord knows how that works but I have my ideas none of which include the possibility that we were really “realizing God”.
It was a cult, Rawat was a cult leader and yeah, the path was narrow.
Trump? He’s just a guy whom circumstances have molded into being the man of the hour. The eleventh hour to be exact.
But thank God or whomever he threw his hat in the ring to begin with a move I’m sure was motivated by a combined sense of grandeur, adventurism and, you’d be a fool to deny it, just plan patriotism and a healthy ego making him think he could do politics at least as well as the various presidents and prominent leaders he came to know traveling in them there lofty circles.
And then the left, the state, the whole damn thing, call it what you will but eventually “woke” would be a fitting adjective too in part, woke-facilitating at least, attacked the fuck out of him. Look what they did! You don’t have to like the guy to see and admit that from his initial golden escalator descent from heaven / oops, I didn’t mean that! - the mezzanine, all the kings’ horses and all the kings’ men tried to destroy him on every imaginable level.
Did you know that some guys tried to shoot him even? No shit. It happened. He literally dodged a bullet or, as Biden’s FBI suggested a little piece of plastic.
But they did. Oh yeah. And here’s the phenomenal part. That regular Ruth guy former president mother-fucker just wouldn’t quit! The harder they came the more he stood firm. He knew how much that meant to those who wanted some alternative to the giant darkening globalist apparatus.
Plus he’s proud.
And somehow he deepened and enriched his rapport with the millions of Americans who wanted protection from the machine.
And that, my friend, is the stuff good relationships are built upon.
So here we are. He won. Not just America but the world got a reprieve from the deluge. You’d have to be a moron to think this was all about Trump making money. “Greed”? Give me a break. The guy took a job at McDonalds to move this along. Didn’t you see that?
Anyway. Relax. It’s a done deal. Sit back snd meditate on how much Trump has saved us from.
I think that MacDonald's stint was a bit of political theatre, but it worked. At the same time, Harris was appearing on Saturday Night Live, which further sealed her image as identifying with celebrities and the 1 per cent, whereas Trump's shift was effective in his identification with the working person. That and other political theatre performances, like him riding on a garbage truck, made enough difference to help him win the election. People have underestimated this guy time and time again, myself included. I'm not a fan, but I can admire his political genius and perseverance. Every court appearance or conviction made him more popular. It's just crazy, in my opinion, but that's how it went.
You’re showing your age, Jim. Made me think of the Chogyam Trungpa craze of the 70s (he’s the Buddhist guru to your Hindu one; ‘course, I’m too young to have been there, but there’s a book : )
At the outset, he was 28 and SHE (the book’s author, Diana Mukpo) just 16; find it if you can, for a nostalgia read. He and his devotees ended up in Halifax, of all places. There's bizarre stuff in that book.
You can usually delete everything up until after the question mark and preserve a smaller link or archive it especially if you think it might get 'lost'.
Right you are! Thanks, I made the edit. Normally I would have just named the title and the author, but I had to go to Amazon for the author's name, so I thought what the heck ...
Yes, Rawat was a teenage Lord of the Universe too. I don't know Trungpa but will check her out although, I must say, I still feel some residual team-loyalty here. I bet my guru can kick your guru's ass kind of thing.
I don't know who 'Jim Heller' is but I like him! Great article.
He's a bad ass! Here is an interview of Jim by Harrison Faulkner https://tnc.news/2024/10/22/faulkner-heller-bc-lawyers-facts-residential-schools/
Thanks for that, he is excellent. I have noted his name.
It sure is one of the most significant. The woke left with their censorings and cancellings are dangerous, and need to be defeated.

Uh, Jim, “reality over fantasy” maybe? 😉
Trump's team is impressive. Bobby, Elon, Vivek, Tulsi, et al. MAGA/MAHA.

Sounds like you’ve been and indoctrinated by the left mind virus! Get help!
Once fascistic, nazi garbage always fascistic, nazi garbage, I guess.
Great article!
A few typos. Can’t edit. Don’t know what “Ruth” was but not that
You’re showing your age, Jim. Made me think of the Chogyam Trungpa craze of the 70s (he’s the Buddhist guru to your Hindu one; ‘course, I’m too young to have been there, but there’s a book : )

I am ageless, eternal, here and now, Joan.

Chogyam Trungpa ("Rinpoche" to his devotees) was a He. A real lama, too! You were probably following the wrong Lord. Tsk.
