I speak today about trump making a fool of himself, and this nation, at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
My website is https://johnomason.com/.
Sounds right. Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, John Mason. How is everybody? Hope you're all well. Excuse me. Well, our dear leader, Donald, what's his face? I hate even thinking his name. Made a damn fool of himself at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and by extension made a damn fool of us. The American people. Trump made went on the stage and gave us a whole tirade about how weak and stupid the European nations are, how they don't do anything for us, the United States, and we we do so much for them. And one of his uh little statements is if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking German. Full disclosure, German is one of the official languages of Switzerland. So it's too late. And Trump puts together this uh this uh alternative to the um to the United Nations or and NATO. He calls it the Board of Peace, like he's interested in peace. I mean, he uses our military to kidnap Maduro in Venezuela. He threatens military action to uh to to take over Greenland, occasionally he called it uh Iceland, but uh which goes to show you what's on his mind, such as it is anyway, and he calls it a board of peace, a very Americancentric uh uh concept in his mind. In fact, the logo of his uh board of peace looks a little bit like the UN uh crest, except uh the focus is on the United States and a gold leaf around it, and he's a gold junkie. Anyway. And for the princely's for the little tiny sum of one billion dollars, a government can join this uh venerable institution. Save your money, other nations. It's not worth it. Of course, you know he's gonna uh route it to his own pockets. Just with as with the uh the oil from Venezuela, his idea is that he instead of directing it back to the Venezuelan people, he's gonna he's gonna have the government put install the uh the money from Venezuelan oil into some secret private account. Yeah, and you and you know he's gonna use that as a piggy bank. And uh and it's caused something terrible. Trump's tirade has caused something terrible. It's turned the in turned the entire world against us. Europe doesn't European agents don't trust us anymore. It breaks my heart. It truly breaks my heart that my country being run by a lunatic is no longer respected in the world as as it has always been. Oh sure, we made some we made some serious mistakes to pull it mildly. I'm old enough to remember Vietnam. And you know the old slogan in toc in uh Wall Street, Taco. Trump always chickens out. Threatening Trump threatened uh a whole series of tariffs in uh on European nations if he doesn't get his way on uh Greenland. And and needless to say, the uh the stock market takes a tumble. And Trump backs away is obviously backing away from his demand for Greenland, no, not going to use any military force, and these stock market uh rallies. In other words, he's all talk when it comes to his threats. In other words, we can stand up to him. He backs down to European nations, he backs down to uh Wall Street. Maybe he'll back down to us, the American people. Which presumably he's to lead. So let's keep the heat on him. Let's keep the heat on Trump and his minions. Let's keep going on to onto the streets demonstrating. Let's keep organizing on our communities and our work sites. Let's keep uh looking out for each other in case uh ICE is in the vicinity. And when it's time to vote, let's vote. That's what the politicians understand. When we get out there into the voting booth in massive numbers, they pay attention. All of a sudden now I'm thinking of Paul Weirer, one of the godfathers of the new right movement of the of the 1980s. He says, I don't want everyone to vote. If voter turnout is small, uh then our people have a better chance of winning. He actually said that. Look it up on Google. So let's disappoint them. Let's get a shit out of them. Let's get out there and vote. Alrighty then. That's it for now. Now advertisements. All this work I do on my media is work. This podcast, my blog, my YouTube channel, my poetry, my fiction, work.

And also, my novels, Soldier of the Cross, and his sequel, The Ascension of David Lucas, are now available on Amazon.com. It's a story of David Lucas who was a young man in the early 60s, is a drunk and a whore chaser and a schoolbully. He gets in trouble in the army, he becomes out of the army a fanatical born-again Christian. He just wants to serve Jesus as a manly man for Jesus. But the way he goes about it leads him into disaster. Look them up, please. Soldier of the Cross and the Ascension of David Lucas on Amazon.com. And also, Himperific is a lovely little CBD product store located on Snyder Avenue, near 15th Street in South Philadelphia. There you'll find some of the finest cannabis-infused products.

That's our job. That's our duty. That's the fight we have to fight. Just as the European nations at Davos stood up to Trump and he backed down. So we must stand up to Trump. And he might back down too. Okay. You all have a lovely weekend. Stay warm. Bye.
