Wishing, Carefully

WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP ordered the attack of Iran, it was reported on the television news, (I usually watch Scripp's) the first thing I thought was, this is hiswayof trying to deflect attention from the Epstein files. Now, a day or two later, I'm still thinking the same thing,that the attack on Iran, which happened without the provocation from Iran, oher than their evident reluctance to capitulate and accede completely to American demands that the Iranians give up their nuclear bomb and perhaps nuclear power program. is Trump's way of trying to distract the media and we the American people from what is obviously very seriously criminal, sordid, and extensive relationhsip between Trump and the infamous Mr. Epstein. Epstein wanted access to and relationships with wealthy, powerful, famous people, preferably men possessing all three of these ever marketable and valuable assets. Trump, who more than probably any human in history has always to be wealthy, powerful, and famous, perhaps in no particualre order, and Epstein filled the bill. You have to give Trump credit for one thing, if nothing else. His entier life has been a constant pursuit of wealth, fame,and power, and beyond doubt, he has succeeded wildly, perhpas beyond his expectations, in achieving all three of thee magic elixirs of self esteem. And, it goes without saying, people like Epstien and Trump are far from being alone or even uusual in harboring these shallow, selfish, socially worthless commodities.Socially worthwhile, because in what way exactly does extreme wealth, power and fame for an elite few benefit society as a whole, if it does at all? It is utterly amazing the frequency with which people desperately crave fame, obtain it, and then, within a verily short period of time, regret having ever wanted it in the first place. Classic wisdom; be careful what you wish for. The Epstein files will be either talked about widely, or will quietly swept under the carpet not by Trump or his gang or his cult,but by we the American people. And we already know that sweeping it udner the carpet, beneath huge headlines delaring war and whatever other sensational stories the prpaganda teams can generate and disimminate, is exactly what the Trump fascist organization will attempt to do. We the American people keeing talking about the Epstein files as early and often as we choose. There is plenty of room in our huge multifaceted media industry for foreign wars of American aggression, imperialism, expansion, and distraction, and Trump and the Epstien files both. We Americans are talented at multitasking. One evident reality is that the nation of Israel has a termendous amount of indluence within teh American government, regardless of administration. It might be beneficial to all of us if somebody would bother to look into that, objectively, and provide evidence, one way or another, to reassure ourselves that we the American people, and not the holy nation of Israel, is in fact governing the United States. Forcing a brand new powerful Jewish nation state into the middle of the Arab world on land forcibly seized from said world might not have been, in retrospect,the best idea, especially at the late date of 1948, by which time the status quo in Palestine was well estabiished, and, again in retrospect, quite peaceful and harmonious by comparison. British and American imperialisn, gone awry, as always. Israeli aggression and arab Islamic intolerance of Judaism cannot be ignored or accepted. As always, there is plenty of blame to go around.
