A Political Editorial Opinion

The Preamble of the Declaration of Independence elucidated the reasons for America to leave Britain’s rule. It unequivocally stated that all thirteen states of the United States of America agreed on all of the causes which impelled them to separate from Britain.

It’s clearly appropriate to investigate America’s actions today, in relation to its actions toward its neighbours and further afield.

Today, those very reasons form the basis of why Canada, no longer cares to be even a friend of the US.

Mark Carney spoke specifically in relation to the actions of America’s would be King of the United States, no different in his continuous assault’s on the rights of both Americans and those from other countries, as that of England’s King, two hundred and thirty nine years ago.

America’s Pretence

The action of the King of U.S. hubris, has seen fit to assault and assail the U.S. population, almost universally in democratic states of the still for the moment, United States of America.

The rationale for this is obvious and transparent, as I’m sure most Americans of sound mind are aware.

However, in the (DOI) or Declaration of Independence King Mutt has decided that “just powers from the consent of the governed” is irrelevant and that the government (most of which were appointed and not elected by anyone, and whose self-interest as plutocrats, investors and a mix of kleptocrats should disqualify them from holding office, or involvement in any issues that may be a conflict of interest) through King Mutt’s actions, can twist the intent of the document that is supposed to represent their belief and to which they swear loyalty.

However, “when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security,”

And so it is, that the time has come for Americans, once again, to do just that.

According to the (DOI);

“The history of the present King (of the United States, King Mutt the first), is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts (not ‘alternate facts’) be submitted to a candid world.

The candid world of today can be seen in the media coverage, the cell phones and webcasts of Americans being subjected to unjust arrest and persecution by thugs hired by King Mutt at his direction, in order to deprive Americans, immigrants and those who are simply not Caucasian of their rights as Americans, or to appeal to a just court before they are unceremoniously thrown onto a plane and deported to what King Mutt calls, “a shit hole” beyond America’s borders. An endearing name for America’s neighbours, who before 2016 were likely trading partners and friends of America, or so they thought.

The third fact of the preamble, states;

“He (the King of England) has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them”.

Where does one even begin in relation to King Mutt’s willful attempts and odd success due to a Supreme Court that King Mutt has paid off and holds in his hand like so many chess pieces? Okay, they’ve ruled against him a couple of times in order to not look completely biased, which they of course will be, in any event. But hope springs eternal that America won’t become Gilead in reality, as Margaret Atwood wrote in the Handmaid’s Tale.

His determination to obstruct state legislators and the courts are epic examples of what had been the rationale by the colonies to throw off the yoke of England’s control and ownership of the those same former colonies.

DJT, alias King Mutt, has “endeavoured to prevent the population of these states; for the purpose of obstructing the laws of naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of land.”

Well America; it could take a month to unpack all of the injustices in relation to the above statement as it applies to the current day under King Mutt’s rule.

In the Preamble of the Declaration of Independence, there are twenty facts that the forefathers of today claimed constituted tyranny by the King of England.

Unfortunately, so far, almost all have been abrogated or completely ignored by King Mutt.

I simply don’t have time, as I’m 73 and don’t plan on spending the rest of my time on this planet throwing invective at the wall because of Donald Trump.

He is surely suffering; aside from his narcissism, pathological lies, xenophobia, racism and uncontrollable hate for immigrants, from what appears to be syphilitic dementia.

So I suppose that makes him “a fine specimen of man’s masculinity”, as he stated not long ago on a live television broadcast.

The World’s People Know What They Have Seen With Their Own Eyes, Heard what they heard with their Own Ears and now Feel Viscerally Every Day as this Delusional Kleptocrat and Plutocrat Peruses the Next Country He’d Like to Invade.

On CNN about three weeks ago, they analyzed every supposed statement of fact made by King Mutt in his first term. Fact checking proved that the Liar in Chief had made public claims over 37,000 times that were patently false.

We have heard the threats and the complete and continuous litany of verbal diarrhea hurled like so much foul gruel from America towards what still are; for as brief a period of time as possible, your allies, friends and neighbours.

We get it America. And we’re going to make a sea change in the future.

Our sails are set on new horizons, within organizations designed to exclude America, its hegemonic plans and the hate it illustrates to all foreign nationals and nations.

I wonder where Americans came from?

My sincere hope is that America doesn’t become Gilead, Margaret Atwood’s fictional story, that spoke of the United States, becoming a religious autocracy controlled by patriarchal fascists and misogynists.

Maybe that’s on the Oval Office wall in chart form.

“Deport all non-Christian’s to Gaza…and bomb the shit out of them.

Yup…good old American ingenuity at work.

Only time will tell.
