[See the full post at: Debt Rattle June 13 2018]I’m older than Trump by 1 year and 1 day. We were born in the same borough of N.Y. city.
He’s a Gemini and that can tell a lot about him; not everything; but inclinations/tendencies.
I’m remaining in the “we’ll see” school. Yes, I’ve voiced some pretty harsh opinions, but remain undecided in the final call.
A lot hinges on wether or not he can close the NK deal; he’s fighting some pretty onerous opposition by the hawks. But it’s just one more window into a war party being layed bare; call it the deep state, but it’s the real U.S. and its true motives.
Pity the world…

You have to understand “legitimacy” exists only in terms of the mentally ill narcissistic sociopaths that are in power. In fact, it’s a great way TO understand their derangement. To a narcissist, nothing exists but them, there is no reality or world outside of them, and generally this is accompanied by such lying as there is no objective reality, only shifting sands created by what they need to feel emotionally in order to be secure and not panic. So “Reality” for them is a thing you make up, moment by moment, sentence by sentence, out of whole emotional cloth. Therefore, what they THINK is the only thing that’s important, the only actual reality, has no persistence, and in their disorder, they project that — quite obviously — everybody else is just like them. So what you THINK, or what you cause others to THINK is — and no joke or exaggeration — MORE important than objective reality, because whatever you think from one moment to the next IS objective reality. Therefore flags = 100; murdering 6 million people in 20 years = 0 importance. Being mad every second about a slavery that ended 150 years ago = 100 offense; actually re-establishing an open air slave market and worldwide human trade TODAY = 0 offense.
There IS no objective reality, only ego, theirs.
From that viewpoint, nothing could be more logical than denying, than signaling, than ignoring what we ordinary vermin call “truth” in favor of a focus on word choice and hashtags and banners that “signal” things, because INSIDE THE MIND THE SIGNAL IS THE TRUTH. Not so in the real world, but as I said, they have no contact with the real world, lost in the mind-mirror of the ego, a western specialty. How do you get there?
“The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love, and in order to occupy and distract himself without love he gives way to passions and coarse pleasures, and sinks to bestiality in his vices, all from continual lying to other men and to himself. The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offence, isn’t it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill — he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offence, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it, and so pass to genuine vindictiveness.” –Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
The lies lead to a purging of love, and the purging of love lead to the lies, and all of it leads to increasing violence and deviancy, not excluding sexual deviancy. Only the Logos can lead you home, regardless of which point you meet it. Or as another great writer of fiction said:
“…We create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do’. — Attrib, Karl Rove

Thank you. And it was a happy day; had lunch with true friends and it was lovely.
I don’t think one can ask for more than that.
Cheers to you.“…We create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out.

Oh, such a lovely quote: …and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do’.
The arrogance of that is stunning; the hubris remarkable; and the utter wrong of it is unfathomable.
May the gods help us, because there is nothing else that can…More fine links and comments today. Happy Birthday, V.Arnold.
What I wonder is why it is so invisible that in the flow of history, the separation of ancient Korea into 2 countries is a temporary thing,and that the peace and denuclearization, and win, win, win, win, win can all be rolled into the reunification that desperately wants to happen. Both Kim and Moon openly aspire to reunification.
JFK’s American University speech is always relevant:
