I applaud Mitt Romney.

At least someone has courage and decency; its frightening to see so many old white men hang onto the coat-tails of trump, himself a mere puppet for vested interest. How can anyone tolerate the absurdity and total unsuitability for Office? Nancy is my hero, best thing she could do in tearing up that script.

In these vile days of trump two and two are most certainly three, or five but anything but four.

trumps obsession is to be on the edge of the news curve, he’ll do anything to be the headlines; lying and false claims are nothing to him, chaff to the wind each day. These times of change seem to be bringing out the worst in people that should know better.

trump used to talk about the swamp, merely another hook to catch voters, but in his post acquittal speech he himself goes lower than anyone could imagine, a surreal DC comic version of what an unhinged President would promulgate whilst all around him lay disarray and destruction.

trump and his many pronged attack on good sense and decency... — trump and his many pronged attack on good sense and decency…

The Impeachment Trial was a farce. Those that spoke the truth or wanted to get at the truth were effectively silenced, a couple of days later Alexander Vindman (a Ukraine expert) fired and escorted off the premises, Gordon Sondland also fired. As we know, trump does not like experts or anyone that is impelled to seek the truth. From the wiki below we can also see that Vindmans twin brother has also been fired at the same time,

quote:

His identical twin brother, Yevgeny S. Vindman, is an Army lieutenant colonel and JAG Officer who was assigned as an attorney on the National Security Council staff handling ethics issues, until he was dismissed from that post on February 7, 2020, the same time as Alexander was removed from his NSC post.[3][27][25]

As a comic aside from this Impeachment charade I can’t help but recall Judge Nutmeg of Reeves and Mortimer “What are the charges …. trumped up” !

Every day with trump is a backward step.

Note on the second link how v.p. pence is so impossible to pin down, to get him to admit the harm the trump ‘administration’ administers every single day. Its so sad to see how George Orwells predictions were so accurate.

Why is it the likes of pence and trump are insistently deaf to truth and common sense?

At 0850 GMT this morning on bbc r4 we heard of trumps ‘good standing in the world’ and how many Americans in fact admire his stance on Foreign Policy, International Relations and Diplomacy!! This I found staggering; I can assume the interviewer was ridiculing the interviewee Carol Leonnig, but maybe the interviewer was convolutedly having to promote a weird r4 morning news stance, perhaps pandering to the directives from above. I find that at 10pm with ‘The World Tonight’ the news is better relayed.

‘eh …. quoted as ‘a success, a master in some ways’ …. what the heck do I seem to be missing here??? More like a master of nastiness and of ridiculing all the enlightenment and advances hard won in many cases that safeguard the ordinary people and the environment and the natural world of America.

trump has created NOTHING BUT DISCORD, FEAR AND MISTRUST.

Its strange how the interview twisted in its couple of minutes duration, as if form of crazy Moebius strip, Carol Leonnig at first stating trump has v little knowledge of anything in other words profoundly ignorant and no inclination to learn, in fact unable to learn and his geography / knowledge of the world map to be very poor indeed. And then bolted on to the end of the interview was the put to bed nonsense of ‘trumps (good) standing in the world’. Its a bad state of affairs when garbage of this sort comes out of my radio. Again, what am I missing, it wasn’t Friday 13th or April 1. But what I do know is that big business has their hand up trump as if a childs glove puppet; trump has no need to think or form policy or be a leader in the real sense, vested interests based on greed and an outdated economic model does the thinking for him.

Obtaining better web results …

… is mostly better when I switch back to the old stack ie firefox and XP O/S. Immediately I can get at the info I’m looking for, the newer windows 10 is like a straightjacket re results and also the O/S interface is abysmal.

Immediately I find a website that is new to me, firstly melting permafrost and secondly a Jan 15 2020 article of yet again seabird die-off. My own hobby horse and fascination has been algae and plankton and my concern with the hardly barely reported loss of diatoms, the irony being 70% of the worlds oil and gas is derived from ancient deposits accrued from diatoms. And oh yes … every fifth breath we take we owe to the oxygenating properties of diatoms.

I’m also still vexed that trump and his crooked hangers-on waste the news cycle and the time of adults when we have better things to be attending to ie climate change.

trump wastes our time …

… creepy vacuous self-centred windbag known as trump wastes our time. This is a late 1940’s roll-up your sleeves occasion ie climate change with masses of rebuilding / realignment to be done and yet we have some numskull wannabe ie trump with his hollow wannabe croning droning nonsense always every day wanting to dominate the news cycle. Clever trump, he’s walked into a self aggrandisement spectacular, a real-time tv love-fest that he would hope is always centred upon himself.

trump wastes our time, there are things to be done, many things. Time to leave him behind and get on with the real world.

I am vexed, this nonsense needs to stop, time is running out.

Trump is a clown. — This is the swamp ie trump… a total fake that cannot even read !

postscript: Look AT THAT gruff expression, whats he trying to do; look as if the toughest gun in town? We can guess it takes an hour for hair and make-up every day before he makes his entrance. My heart bleeds for whoever has to pick up the Administrative, Operational and Fiscal mess once and finally the trumps are banished from the White House. People clamour for his tax records, I particularly would like to see his School Records, these in themselves would illustrate trump unsuitability to Office. I knew someone like trump when at school, he was in the slow class but boy-o-boy could he fantasise and spin a lie, an absolute and total b/s’er.

This is what an uneducable self-centred disruptive schoolboy set to inherit great wealth and thinking themselves above any law or sense of knowledge, service or regard and respect of ‘ornery folk really looks like.

trump ever the evil clown…

trumps performance at Davos as everywhere he goes is repugnant to any caring, free thinking sensible citizen, in the last couple of days all we hear is trump carnage and apparent ineptitude, but however the gold plated turd does in fact seem to have some ie a little energy and momentary focus, witness the removal of wetland protection and environmental safeguards for water quality … like that runny clear thing that is the cornerstone to a families establishment and a communities survival.

Destruction and the lowest common denominator is the trump byword, nothing good comes from trump. He is a showman, a fairground barker, a Father Coglan; trump mobilises hate. trump has no real ethical talent, he just knows that de-stabilising the sludge at the bottom of the barrel might just keep him in Office.

I particularly am horrified at trumps absolute refusal to take notice of the natural world (ie that thing outside the window that makes the clouds roll by) … of climate and how quickly unfriendly feedbacks are cascading into a most horrible scenario.

It beggars belief the White House has sunk so low, the web / social media aiding his prospects enormously.

I think the above image ie NY Times doesn’t quite help us realise that it is running water that is under threat, that people and communities DOWNSTREAM expect better and deserve better than in the days of old.

Here the friendly folk at conservapedia at great time and effort list the vigour at which trump and his motley crew strip and de-establish hard won safeguards, trumps big-time business owner chums must be hardly be able to believe their luck at low IQ low attention span Donald twitching and jumping at every callous request … https://www.conservapedia.com/Donald_Trump_achievements:_Energy_and_environmental_policy

… trump is not credible from whatever angle.

Personally I can’t stand to hear his voice, the voice of a bragging pretending un-educated way too far elevated B/S’er. A con-man basically … ask his many (many) creditors from previous decades and failed enterprises.

In normal life we have qualifications to gain, experience to be accrued, time to be served as in gaining that experience which will place us in a position appropriate to our abilities. Not this fella, a second rate tv prog and wham he gets into the Oval Office. His hobby is his Big Boy marker, how many times am I mentioned in the NY Press today?

This peculiar tele-prompter foul-up is purveyed as a speech from the President of the United States, how standards have slipped! Military man on our right looks a total nervous wreck and I suppose WH Eunuch Pence is in obeyance somewhere. Apparently trumps entrance was highly ‘stage-managed’ ie bright light, silhouette, etc etc. trump is a nobody.

Is trump ‘on something’ ? … certainly seems to me he is, note the sniffling, the pursed strange mouth posture, WTF? If this were anyone else a drug test would be called for.

Where are our critical faculties? The world deserves better than this.

When is idiocy going to be called out for what it is?

This is awful !

I haven’t the patience to listen to all of this turgid drone, but as listening carefully to little bits of the garbage and mangled incomprehensible junk he spews as a so called message to the Nation note how he gets word mangled into absolute nonsense. And we are all expected to swallow this junk? I’ve only sampled little bits …

06:23 ‘tolerited’

06:50 ‘accompliments’

etc. Its as if listening to a four year old.

You can see in his eyes, the eyes of all of them this address is a risky venture. These are NOT honest men.

This demonstrates quite clearly he is unfit for Office, has poor reading ability, of limited intellectual ability below most adults and of very limited vocabulary.

trumps words are weasel, his words are worthless.

I think the man on our right is thinking “This ace turd is really stretching my patience”. In fact they all look extremely nervous as to how this pillock will be able to read two teleprompter screens and come anywhere near to a) credible b) fool anyone, c) get hired for next season.

Can’t anyone remember 2003 and Iraq, how we were all conned and sleep walked into a huge blunder. Being conned the ‘intel’ was rock-solid ie we MUST do this. No we don’t, let sleeping dogs lie, the alternatives and consequences of action are horrible. Why must the USA act as complete idiots when it comes to the Middle East?

I can hear the same thing again, ordinary people saying “We must do this” when all they have is spoon-fed uncorroborated spiel from a few numskulls that think they know best and have their secret agenda to work towards.

Increasingly I’m finding the web and google quite tricky as a means of getting correct information, firefox was useful, this newer m/c with windows 10 is a clunking ad machine. Never mind, heres the UK Financial Times, which can be regarded as top league and I assume credible.

The sick illegality of trump.

I stop short of using the term ‘clever’ but one can see from this opinion piece in the UK Guardian that there is a distinct hidden agenda, a distinct cleverness in that the repulsive machinations of trump are in fact a ‘clever’ assault on everything good, wholesome, borne of experience and hard won rights, as if the clown and his crew are chipping away long into the night on whatever can be corroded or made substandard. As with Stephen Miller we have a Dominic Cummings.

https://www.com/commentisfree/2020/jan/05/trump-american-justice-election-iran

trump laughs at the Law, barges belligerently Roy Cohn style through established measures and ‘civilised regards’ and he cares nothing for ordinary people, merely something to score points from on social media. I think at this point a low budget biopic would serve very well at providing illumination on this low-life, theres enough crazy truth to preclude ever having to ‘invent’ anything. His manner of movement, his body language tells so much and could be used to explain quite what the monster is in the White House.

trump tries to give the impression he is riding along with the common man but in fact its their back he is riding, its how he ‘got his ticket’ into the White House, an invented and phoney posture, ‘a put-on act’ to capture votes. It sickens me for instance in the UK when post election there is the analysis, the wringing of hands at the need to re-jig to alter the message, surely parties and MPs as we have here in the UK should be thinking of what is best for the country, not what will catch them votes and give them a ride into power.

Its very clever how trump has done this, knowing that a veneer thin gloss and brag will get him through any encounter, whether its face to face or social media in any form. As with all good con-men he makes you feel he is your friend.

Never trust an American.

What else can we say, all we hear tonight particularly by the overview on bbc r4 ‘The World Tonight’ 10pm is that the trump administration is basically a crock full of …. They back-track and re-manufacture whatever suits their purpose. We thought the Iraq 2003 was a fiction, this beats it all.

God help us all.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2020/jan/03/iran-general-qassem-suleimani-killed-us-trump-drone-strike-baghdad-reaction-live-updates

To re-phrase Brian Hooke US Special Representative, “trump is a sick and twisted individual” …. however more realistic to say low-functioning, a total liability.

Hate is a very high motivator; trump is an expert at engendering this.

Has no-one in the present White House Circus any idea how wars start? And how in Sarajevo in 1914 was unleashed utter hell by the ‘mere killing’ of one man.

Postscript: watching trump and his crazy tenure has forewarned the world as to how shallow, unfit and impetuous he really is, therefore the Free World can unite in condemning this mad act. As we would expect next morning we can hear invited experts to comment and of course we can hear the crooked spiel of certain pro-trump Americans, Mike Pompeo, Genl Jack Keane etc. It beggars belief, cold clear truth and informed opinion, a knowledge of history, of human nature, respect for other ways of life is in extreme short supply with anyone propping up trump and his Circus.

One has to realise how insulated and divorced trump is from actual reality. Pvt Bonespurs has no idea of the horror of war, for nations, for civilians, its as if they are chaff, they blow to the wind but these are real human beings locked into tragedy. If I were in charge I would build schools and hospitals that actually function, from what I have read of Iraq the Americans mostly built for show, for a photo-op; once the Press and Media walked away, the electric was cut once again. And the missing billions?

Chemtrail diary 3 Jan 2020.

Data on NASA Worldview shows Geneva, Lausanne, Bern and Zurich being subject to chemtrail. https://go.nasa.gov/35qHcQo

Tyrrhenian Sea gets chemtrail today, Vatican City. https://go.nasa.gov/2MO9rSo

Barcelona, Valencia chemtrails. https://go.nasa.gov/2sKqIoD

A closeup of the above link chemtrail Barcelona Gerona https://go.nasa.gov/2SVtiTL

Chemtrails in vast amount central Spain https://go.nasa.gov/2ZUtNik

Its still early in the day, Worldview has hardly covered the UK so no chance yet to alter base layers to help interpretation.

I’ve taken a pic of the sky outside, occasional say three an hour chemtrail but nothing more, nothing lasting. The days here are unusually, unseasonally warm. Ask anyone in western Norway, in Australia, they’ll all say the same. I shudder for Spain in eight months time, already they have problems with land becoming yet more parched and wells, boreholes becoming dry. Look at Manilla, bbc radio news tells us the island is actually sinking as they are extracting more water than sensible. Its mad that Australia is so coal reliant, after all a country known for sunshine.

NASA Worldview ties in with what I’m seeing above (today) unlike a couple of days ago when chemtrail data (chemtrail corridor) indicated on Worldview but little overhead to ring alarm bells; a disjoint, not very often that happens.

We wake this morning to hear yet more of the slo-mo train crash of the trump presidency, his meddling in matters of which he has no idea, no policy other than belligerence, as is characterised by his complete life. Unpaid debt, fantasy, illusion, he treats everything as a tv appearance in the ‘trump movie’. Never trust any man with such a ridiculous hairstyle.

trump is in fact a bully, a terrorist; a desperate fool aching for war that of course will be fought with other peoples effort, other peoples blood; never his own (aka Pvt Bonespurs).

Whoever inherits this mess from trump will have lots of diplomacy, outreach, re-jigging to perform; trump has done nothing but engender hatred. We likewise have the atrocious D Cummings in Number 10.

postscript ten hours later … we all know trump is a liar and a fraud.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2020/jan/03/iran-general-qassem-suleimani-killed-us-trump-drone-strike-baghdad-reaction-live-updateshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=85&v=pChFGe57mLk&feature=emb_logo

I could cry, the world does not need this. The stupidity and crass absurdity of the trump administration KNOWS NO BOUNDS.

Endlessly explaining.

It really bugs me that so much hot air is continually expended endlessly repeating the basics of what climate change and mass extinction is all about, ie methane, changing weather systems, ocean food chain die-off, red meat production, forest clearance etc with so many (in the end) irrelevant ‘actors’ to use the trendy term who keep poking their stick into the spokes while times runs through our fingers like water.

Maybe communications and punditry are too easy nowadays; just as I am here adding my pennyworth; but at least we can voice our concerns in some way, cross-influence and develop dialogue, to reach out.

Yet still we have deniers to climate change itself!

The complete overhaul and re-alignment of human mind-set looks in my opinion to be impossible; consumerism and keeping up with the Joneses has too great a hold, ego rules peoples lives, western ‘face’ is everything. So many ppl seem unable to resist advertising pressure; good salaries are expended on forgotten tomorrow high end gifts and short term fixes, gizmos kids don’t need. We’ve become too slick, too mindless; we cannot it seems move the decades back to a cannier closer lifestyle of smaller pleasures and more modest activities.

I read yesterday of how at present ‘the cloud’ consumes 4% of existing electricity produced and will something like triple in a decade! Likewise bitcoin mining, soaks up electricity at a bizarre and frightening amount, equivelant to a small European country.

I just do not know how we can wean humans away from needless consumerism wanting to buy ‘new things’ and excessive sprawling carbon footprint. Disney has a lot to answer for, brain washing then screwing its customers for the ‘Disney experience’ FLA Paris etc and its pointless merchandise. I can imagine cars, personal transport and red meat consumption will shift to the rich only, such things will still exist right to the end but at a price.

Everyone seems to have a viewpoint, yet for most of these their viewpoint merely slows change, treacles up the process to an aching slowness.

We lose Arctic ice and all that seems to mean is territorial affirmation, commercial exploitation, big corporate self interest; witness trump and his shenanigans. I feel sorry for the Australians, I feel sorry for the coming El Nino.
