THE COLLECTIVE LIES & MADNESS OF TRUMP’S MAGA AMERICA & WESTERN CIVILIZATION
Op-Ed, Jerome Twin Rainbow-Irwin, 07-10-26
This introduction represent twoof the four volumes written over the past two decades that span the author’sodyssey in search of life’s forever elusive Spiritual Truths; from his earliest days of brief misadventure spent with the CIA; until he slammed shut forever its Pandora’s Box Worldin his life; thatthen led to his spiritual reclamation among Turtle Island’s First Nation peoples and his penning of the“Wild Gentle Ones; A Turtle Island Odyssey”; with the further realization of how much we of this living time are all relations to all life that ever was or ever will be.
This one’siconoclastic searchfor Truth and Spirituality amongst all the Lies,next turned intoyet an entirelydifferent kind of odyssey that became ageopolitical-spiritual nightmarespent among “The Collective Lies & Madness of Trump’s MAGA America & Western Civilization”, on the eve of theirdecadent dissolution’sinto ever more chaos and perpetual world war.
After centuries ofconquest, Western Civilization’sdecadence was vigorously renewed in the early 17th, 18th & 19thth centurieswith the Old World’s discovery of the New World; until German fascismin the 20th century spawned WWI & WWII, andthen again, in the 21st Century, with a resurgence of Western Civilization’s conspiratorial conquest and acquisition of the last of the Earth’s finite natural resources, equally by Trump’s MAGA America and Western Europe’s collective greed and fascism, that spawnedan even greater titanic Nuclear WWIII struggle against their mutually-hatedRussian nemesis, and its allies among China and the BRIC Nations.A titanic struggle that eventually would culminate in the utter destruction of human civilization as it never was ever fully known, andstill can only be but imagined..
Taken altogether, these two volumesoffer up to the reader a rare critique of the Old World’s violent European presence among the New World’s First Nation’s of ‘TURTLE ISLAND’; from the Age of Discovery to Trump’s MAGA America in the 21st Century. While, at the same time,Turtle Island’s alternative hope to the world, given through its perpetual prayer and commitment to “ALL MY RELATIONS”, is further offered here to the reader to ponder how the ancient traditional First Nation philosophy of Turtle Island can still serve as a critically-important antidote tothe ever-expanding succession of nuclear encounters and disastrous world-wide economic calamities that begins, as it always must, with: A SACRED RESPONSIBILITY MADE TO ALL OUR RELATIONS.
A SACRED RESPONSIBILITY MADE TO ALL OUR RELATIONS
TRUMP’S MAGA AMERICA, the ZIONIST’S & WESTERN EUROPE’S Genocidal War against Iran, Russia, China and the BRIC Nationscontinues to be butthe latestof Western Civilization’s many open, weeping canker sores, like Gaza, upon the human soul and all its Relations to Life. These bizarre relations continue to seem to this writer as if he were just yetanother Alice In Wonderland; caught in a never-ending free fall down the samedark, bottomless, uglyancient rabbit hole.
Finally emerging from out of that darkest and ugliest of rabbit holes into the light, this writer at once realized that no innocent bystanders exist in Trump’s fascist MAGA America, in collusion with Netanyahu’s demonic, mad-dog Zionists, and all their equally demonic NATO and EU allies; gathered together in their brutal would-be WWIII conquest against: Iran; the peoples of the Middle East, Russia, China, the BRIC’s and, indeed, the world over; all in the nightmarish name of Western Civilization’s creation of an ever-greater America, Israel and Western Europe; which, among the Deep State’s select few now have created yet another psychotic, murderous Wild, Wild West.
John Winthrop’s 1630 sermon of “A Shining City On A Hill” once offered a beacon of hope and moral guidance to the difficult birthing of that once-upon-a-time new, hopeful, democratic America. But that only ever theoretically existed on paper. The Lie between them, ever more magnified in the 21st Century, a thousand-fold, by the clash of Trump and Netanyahu’s Neocon-Nazi-Zionist nightmare version of John Winthrop’s once hopeful, dream vision.
But traditional First Nation people of the America’s alive today still hold to their own ancient world vision of that dream, by which they continually dedicate their deepest, most heart-felt, sacred Turtle Island prayers and affirmations to life and all its beings; whether living or having long since passed beyond this plane of time. This essential truth conveyed by them to all who still have ears to hear, as a reminder to all, each time the simplest, most profound, sacredly-held, consecrated expression “To All My Relations” is used anew, as a preface, before and after every prayer, belief or affirmation is made.
To traditional native peoples the world over it’s the same; whether one actually knows all such relations still living, or long since departed. It’ simply a way to affirm the gift of Life itself, and all those who ever were or ever will be; and especially all the encompassing relations with them; of which we of this Living Time simply acknowledge ourselves to be their thankful recipients, benefactors and bearers.
So, whether one’s own relations are all those unknown ones who’ve long since passed beyond this living time, whether one actually knew them or not, or what once were, perhaps, the most horrific, unimaginable events they may have experienced in their lifetimes, at the hands of whomever evil entities we can never know, but only imagine, they still forever remain in our conscious or unconscious thoughts as honoured relations.
Therefore, were more humans in the world to so dedicate and honour everything one always was, says or does To All Our Relations, there wouldn’t be anywhere near the violence and indifference shown to our fellow human and non-human travellers through time and space; nor would there continue to be the horrible catastrophes that continue to be perpetrated against them and the sanctity of their lives and to all of Life itself.
Thus, this ancient expression of our collective relationships to All That Is, forever remains the simplest of ways to create the idyllic world, to which we all can imagine and rededicate ourselves as Relations in commonality with: all of humanity’s ancestral First Nation peoples; our Mother Earth’s non-humans, and; all the earth’s sacred places that forever beckon to us, as we beckon back to them, through all our collective thoughts, memories and dreams.
Thus, we each are, as it were, virtual ghosts, Just Grunts in the Trenches of life, engaged in perpetual conversations with all our Relations dreams and nightmares; that forever seek to reconnect to us once again; along with all the other virtual ghosts and grunts, whomever they were or will be, who still have something important to say to us, and we to them, about all our mutual Relations in this precious, finite substance we call Life.
Meanwhile, forever remembering to honour, like that old Negro Spiritual reminds us, “He Don’t Plant Tatters, He Don’t Plant Cotton, An’ Dem Dat Plants ‘Em Is Soon Forgotten; But That Old’ Man River, He Jus’ Keeps Rollin’ Along.” So life must always begin and end as a rolling affirmation To All My Relations, as the only ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ (MOI) that Western Civilization, and Trump’s warring world of nations will ever need to abide by.
