It’s All in the Day’s News…. #2

Greetings Readers,
As it turns out Secretary of State and former head of the CIA Mike Pompeo is a Bible thumper who keeps the holy book on his desk to read the word of God and not just to show off; I believe this taints his ideological responsibility to be a responsible rational government official. Pompeo’s placement also reminds of the Dulles brothers, John Foster and Allen, who were nearly Christian fanatics and urged on longer than it should have been the Cold War to completely eradicate a Godless Communism. The Pompeo revelation coincides with the U. S. government announcing yesterday Trump wants the public schools to establish classes for student biblical learning.
Yeah, we know Trump is a good Christian, don’t we? Or is it that Donald needs and desires the Christian voter block out mid-western-way and scattered among the southern states. The only Christian leader I favor is the Catholic Pope. He’s a good man, but he sometimes missteps. The Pope is by doctrine suppose to be infallible, just like our POTUS Donald Trump. Everyone makes mistakes though, including the American voter public who voted Trump in.
Moreover, Readers, gleaned from the news and somewhat connected to the above, Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Salman said in an interview yesterday, the U. S. and it’s allies during WWII encouraged the spread of radical Muslim Wahhabism in order to support unity within the Sunni faithful.
Wheeling religion is a powerful force in today’s supposedly rational era of satellites and cyberspace. God help us!!
All the Best to you.

PS: While closing this post I read something disturbing and thought to enclose a reply in this mail. While giving a speech in Cairo on 10 January the U. S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was quoted as saying in response to former president Obama’s legacy, “THE AGE OF SELF INFLICTED AMERICAN SHAME IS OVER.” I don’t know the feelings of the reader, regarding Pompeo’s statement. As for myself Obama had his faults, he was a little too forgiving with Wall Street mostly for the benefit of the Democratic party, (No one went to prison)but being ashamed of his eight year presidency to me is outrageous. In fact overall Obama, the gentleman president, and his Administration, performed outstandingly during several difficult financial and international periods over his term and by the way, it was scandal free.
Trump can’t depend on those who are independent, his equal or superior, but must only rely on loyal close-minded followers similar to Mr. Pompeo.

Greetings Readers.
In Venezuela the world has learned at least two lessons:
1. Former president Chavez, the Socialist social reformer, screwed up the country big time by swinging too far to the left with populism, and reined a wealthy oil-producing country, and then, and then, the follow-on guy Maduro went down the same path, making conditions worse. Phooey on him.
2. South America has learned once again by American financial imperialistic aggression and other tools, tools, I leave it to your imagination, don’t ever consider an attempt to flee from being our captive colonies in our closest most important sphere of influence. South America you are Ours so stay away from the grasp of Chinese and Russian traders. (We could care less if China sells at cheaper prices, or Russia buys tokens at premium cost) Or is it the precious earth metal resources in Bolivia which attracts and will continue to be a hot commodity in the near future, and someday possibly worth a conflict. (Well, at least a governmental overthrow)
Readers, seeing, reading, and hearing of the threats against the U. S. homeland one may wonder, if, if we are being threatened so often, am wondering is it our fault? Why have we deployed army, naval, and aircraft-missile forces around China and Russia. At times only 20-40 kilometers from their coasts. Very recently the U. S. has positioned a warship, excuse me, a “defensive vessel” within the Black Sea, the very heart of Russian territory, (Some would say the black heart of Russia) It is not according U. S. officials not a ‘provocation.” Hmm! Think of the Great Lakes.
China may be cuddling up to some South American Counties, i. e. Bolivia because they possess precious earth resources Hey, relax it’s only a comment. No that’s not it. I believe it is for those great tasty bananas they grow on the continent down there, Yeah, thanks to United Fruit.
I have sympathy for Trump he’s like a horse hobbling along with a broken leg; so I wish the Mueller investigation would shoot him and put him out of his untenable misery. (Using paper bullets of course)
My only objective is peace.
All the Best to you.
Ron Miller.
