In America it is now four days since the armed insurrectionists breached the Capitol building under the orders of Trump to take back America which was a massive failure, word of advice if you are going to do something illegal don’t be seen and recognised doing it. Those morons who took selfies, videoed and posed for pictures on the day of infamy are all now feeling the long arm of the law, but the problem isn’t the people who wandered the halls of power freely, the problem is the people who incited the violent coup which has left four pro-trump supporters and one Capitol police officer dead. Trump, Trump Jnr. And Giuliani all called for the ‘Save America March’ to ascend on the Capitol building with insurrectionist rhetoric just an hour before the storming occurred then departed for the Whitehouse to watch their incitement unfold.
Again I say it, it is four days since the attempted coup and Trump still sits comfortable in the Oval office of the people’s house while politicians talk about what to do. Democrats have called on Pence to act upon the 25th amendment and remove Trump which Pence refuses to do. There is a vital flaw in the American constitution which allows a president to operate without consequence and not be removed from office other than with congressional impeachment or through mental or physical ailment. This flaw needs to be looked at! If a president is doing or is seen to be doing an illegal act they should not be above the laws of the land and escape justice. As I keep hearing it said the military, law enforcement, congress and the judiciary are there to serve the flag, not the president, yet for the last four years all these branches have done is served the man in the oval office and done his bidding without question ignoring the acts of treason and illegality performed by this individual against America and its civil liberties.
So the first act of the next congress and Senate after jailing Trump should be to right in to law a third option where a sitting president can be removed from office for blatant acts of criminality without the need of an impeachment hearing. Remember the person sitting in the Whitehouse has ultimate capability of inciting Armageddon upon their or any other nation, which to me is a terrifying thought especially when such a person shows a very apparent mental frailty, that is been witnessed in every action taken by Trump over the past twelve months from his lies and falsehoods spoken to his actions of a fascist mentality to quash the peaceful protests over the slaying of an innocent black man during the summer of 2020. During the summer Trump used the might of the military to remove peaceful protestors with pepper spray, tear gas and violence just so he could get a photo opportunity outside a church holding a bible, upside down and facing away from the camera I may add, but on January 6th instead of armed riot officers the ‘Save America March’ mob was welcomed in to the capitol building by a passive police force not ready for such an insurrection and then it took several hours for the might of America’s law enforcement to be dispatched and that was done by a Vice President scared for his life, not the sitting President who simply asked them to go home while telling them he and America loved them. This man has openly showed a narcissistic and racially motivated persona for years, yet America in their wisdom decided he would make a better president than Hilary Clinton back in 2016. Since his November 3rd defeat at the polls, his mentality has simply degenerated in to that of a scolded school boy who was caught cheating on an exam calling for his besties to take vengeance on the school principle for punishing him. Come on America, is it not time for you to remove the blinkers and see yourselves as the world sees you. Because from the outside looking in what I see is seventy million cult followers paying homage to their mad messiah who has told them lie, after lie to keep them worshipping him. Trump is no better than the likes of Manson, Koresh, Jones, Applewhite and Rajneesh, all of whom are still locked up or have died behind bars. America, jail is too good for Trump because he has committed treason upon your nation as well as being implicit in the deaths of five people who died because of his lies and deserves the same punishment doled out to all treasonous individuals. All this and he is still accountable for over ‘Three Hundred and Sixty thousand’ deaths from COVID-19 due to his non-existent leadership, lies and unwillingness to put widespread pandemic policies in to action which to me is also classed as mass murder putting the blood of hundreds of thousands on his hands which makes him no better than Hitler.
On that note I will take a look at what has been happening in dear old Blighty in the past few days. So the issues facing us in the UK is four more weeks of lockdown, self- isolation and uncertainty in how we will cope. We are been told that we should expect more restrictions to be forced upon us with supermarkets and exercise the next points on the governments agenda. What is most prevalent is the lack of face to air time Boris Johnson gives us, as our supposed Primeminister choosing to leave his lackey’s to dole out the bad news daily. As a nation for nearly a year we have been treated to a style of martial law where our civil liberties have been slashed for the betterment of society’s health, but what we are really giving up is our freedom to live life as we please. I agree we need to take precautions to stave of complete annihilation as a species, but the way our government has handled this pandemic is filled with incompetency and ineptitude all the way to the top. We couldn’t have asked for a worst leader than Johnson, he has responded to this pandemic in a similar fashion to how Chamberlain responded to the Nazi movement at the outbreak of World War Two. Chamberlain took the nicely, nicely approach with Hitler which got him nowhere except to be replaced with a coalition leadership chaired by Churchill. What is needed now is for Johnson to be removed and replaced by a coalition government led by Kier Starmer until we are free and clear of this deathly virus and have a new election.
In Starmer it can be seen, a man clearly focused on the betterment of us as a people rather than Johnson’s view of us as an economy first and a people possibly half a dozen places from the top of the list. Starmer has called for us to have a fighting spirit and sees the need for people’s finances to be safeguarded in this perilous time of uncertainty. He also sees the need for Universal Credit to stay as it is rather than been reduced again in April. Personally I think the extra £20 a week is still too miserly as that doesn’t provide any significant help unlike the possible £2500 per month been offered to employed people forced to stay home. Across the rest of the world much better aid packages are been given to those unfortunates who find themselves unemployed or furloughed. As a nation we drastically under fund rather than treat people to a value well above the poverty line.
On the subject of the virus, we are now been told by England's chief medical officer that we are heading in to treacherous times. Even with the introduction of two COVID-19 vaccines the time between vaccination and it having a visible impact which means people should still take precautions to stay safe. By the middle of February which is four weeks from now the government only expects to have vaccinated the groups who fall in the categories of over 70’s, healthcare workers and those individuals required to shield due to been at a higher risk from the virus due to underlying medical issues. This means wide groups of individuals will still be at risk from the virus for many months to come. All I see is a government who lies and cheats their way through everything they do. Hancock has said two million people have received the vaccination to date, yet even the government’s own data for the week ending January 3rd showed that less than 1.3 million people had actually been vaccinated. When will this government stop rounding up or rounding down respectively, when they wish to give out figures of accomplishment? Tell us the truth rather than lying to make yourselves look better.
I know I shouldn’t expect any better than lies from politicians, but in a world of technology and 24 hours news coverage where they can be fact checked immediately wouldn’t you think they would know better by now and simply give up the incessant need to fabricate untruths. They said 2021 would a better year, yet 11 days in and I just see a rerun of last year as deaths rise exponentially, and politicians lies become bigger and bolder, all while it is not just the innocent commoners, but also the rich and famous who are feeling the sorrow and grip of deaths hand laid to bare on their very existence. The leaders of the world who have contracted this virus, have only survived because they received a better service than the rest of us. The likes of Johnson and Trump were treated within hours of the virus taking hold while the rest of the population had to wait before receiving the best care possible under dire circumstances by overworked, underpaid and unprotected medical staff which shows where everyone falls in order of priority. I praise the lifesaving skills of the world’s doctors and nurses while condemning those politicians who chose to ignore the imminent threat and put the economy ahead of even one lost life let alone over one million lives worldwide. On that I will call it a day,
Rant you tomorrow!
Back Wednesday.
