THE ENGLISH CODE

NOTE: THIS WAS WRITTEN AND POSTED BEFORE TRUMP BECAME PRESIDENT.
If someone does not get Trump’s taxes before he takes office we may lose the trail we need to indict him for espionage.

I had businesses in AC like Trump in the 80’s and went to Penn with him. He did not lose a billion in the 1980’s in AC. No one did!  Ask the locals. Ask the retired lawyers who are about his age. AC was a very small town when Trump came there. There were only so many law firms and builders. We all knew each other, often from grade school. No one lost money running casinos until 2001. Look at the books of nearby Caesars and Bally’s or Golden Nugget. This is what happened.

Trump’s sister was married to the lawyer who defended Crazy Eddie. Donald Trump ran the Crazy Eddie cash scam, but smarter – he stashed cash into Russian banks. Trump can’t let those Russian bank liaisons be known. Now, the Russians have him essentially blackmailed for that financial crime. We can’t have a president who is indebted to Putin or under his thumb in any way.

5/8/19 – update: THERE MAY BE A WAY TO PROVE DONALD TRUMP’S LARCENY

In 1986, Atlantic City was a boom town. The Trump Plaza was connected to Caesar’s. People often did not know what casino they were in as they gambled. Trump did so well in 1985 to 1988 that he shortly thereafter started building his second and third casinos. Profits in casinos are a function of volume and edge. The edges were the same in all casinos. So the only variable was volume. Ask Caesar’s how they did in 1986 and 1987. They may be willing to show you. Get numbers from the bus trip companies as to number of visitors and the AC Commerce department. If the volumes were close, the profits were close. Nothing else makes a lick of sense.

There is also no way Donald Trump would have had a loss in 1986 and then gotten money to build other casinos. So how did he do it? There is only one way this makes ANY sense. He moled casino cash to Russia – or other foreign banks – to avoid taxes. Then Trump borrowed his own money back from these banks to support new ventures and his luxurious was of life. This is what his taxes will show and/or prove by the lack of any other possible way to finance his Castle and Taj casinos.

That’s why we want the Deutsche Bank and the Mazar’s papers. Also the tax records of other AC casinos from the late ’80’s will show the public that something does not seem right. Again. Nothing else makes any financial sense. – Donald had plenty of Russian guy and girl friends back then. This would have been easy for a scoundrel like Donald Trump to arrange.

And stop saying he lost all that money! Reporters should say “Trump says he lost billions”. But no US banks, and not even Russian banks, would lend money to people who report large losses – and these were the largest losses ever reported by anyone ever!  Trump got loans from someone. How? Trump was borrowing against secured funds deposited in a secure private foreign account. And the INTEREST of 50 million showed up one year. That’s the 5% on a billion! 

(back to 2016 writing )

We are about to be overtaken by an albeit unwitting Manchurian candidate. Not that he was born there of course, but he will not be able to take an opposing view from Putin – for fear that WikiLeaks puts out the truth on him. Hence, Tillerson of course – and whatever Putin wants -here and everywhere. He practically said that on the campaign trail. Putin effectively will soon be the president of the United States, with respect to foreign policy…

This is also why DT can’t put his kids out of the business. The Trump’s cant reveal their longstanding dirt with Russia to anyone. No trust is blind enough for the Trumps.

I am trying to get through. I believe we need to do an immediate class-action law suit to reveal DT’s taxes before he takes office. We have probable cause for collusion. I have been out of AC for a long time. But I was there on the ground floor in AC when DT started his cash business career. 

If you are pursuing DT, you are close to the truth with your instincts. Now you just need those taxes. DT would step down from office rather than reveal them. And now you have probable cause via the Putin hack thing and his open statements on the campaign trail.

#1 Someone with authority needs to formally and publicly ask DT one more time if he will release his forthwith – as part of the Russian hack investigation under the Espionge Act and demand an answer within 24 hours. Watch what happens then. Trump will squirm.

#2 – If he does not Obama and CIA should use their powers under the Espionage Act and not swear DT in until he releases his taxes or a bi-partisan investigation clears Trump.  

#3. Under the powers under the Espionage Act, ask the IRS to privately reveal DT’s taxes to proper agencies, as they will be needed for a thorough investigation of the Russian hack thing.

DT’s taxes will lead you to the players involved in this international scandal.  This is why he won’t volunteer them. After his taxes are revealed, the entire plot will quickly be self-evident. Trump is blackmail-enabled. The Russians have known that for 30+ years. I doubt if Trump would even take office if he had to reveal his taxes. 

We must avert placing the history and future of the US into the hands of Vladimir Putin.

Today I got an email from an environmental agency asking me to contribute dollars to stop Tillerson and Trump from ruining our planet for the next generations. I would not donate, not because I don’t believe in the cause. Asking for funds through emails feels like its doomed to be an inneffective strategy to fight billionaires. It has never worked before. Ask the Koch’s too.

But I do find Trump, Putin and Tillerson now to be the top three enemies of the planet and the common man.  Frankly there is – and always have been – one easy way to stop people with greed disease – which Trump, Tillerson and Putin all clearly suffer from. 

That way has always been to stop their registers from ringing. They are simply merchants. They have expenses in their businesses. If no one spends with them, they lose their power and control and will adjust strategy. Tillerson has been quoted as saying ” My philospohy is making money for me and my shareholders”.  Well if Exxon sales drop, his own shareholders and his greed disease will force him to stop this unholy alliance. We don’t need or want Putin’s spilled blood on our hands. Do you?

Let’s teach these sick people what mixing business and politics looks like. We can do this by maing a conscious effort to stop buying Exxon or Mobil gas until Tillerson and his shareholders beg us to stop! And if you do, they will beg us to stop.

Spread this widely. Facebook. Twitter. Talk to you neighbors. etc.

Exxon/Mobil Boycott start todays. 12/13/2016. And it’s easy. There are other gas stations. So what if they are pennies more, if they are. Take pride in knowing you are doing what you can to protect our planet. It’s not too much to ask. Tell your kids. Kids, tell your parents. We can do this!

And if you wont make this simple adjustment to your routine to save the planet – then don’t you and your progeny deserve the polluted cancer-ridden world that we will all be living in soon?

Is it just me? Does not anyone else see that Putin has D.T. blackmailed. He hacked in. He probably has Ed Snowden doing it for him. They have real dirt on Trump. D.T. who has had his casino “losses” stashed there for 30 years. They can leak this. Trump knows this. So he is forced, effectively blackmailed – to do Putin’s bidding. So Putin asks Trump to get his oil man in power and make them both 500 billion dollars. It’s so clear. JA

 

I have written 125 of the 500+ electors now. Not one has got back personally. Most are flooded with emails. And the few that did write back – were anti-HRC, dyed in the wool GOP’ers from Texas.

I explained that any other GOP candidate wont sell us out the way D.T. will, and has all his life for profit. They are perhaps expecting crumbs to fall their way, or have as little insight into a New York huckster as their naive electorate. I have explained all this, and my personal knowledge of D.T. It is falling largely on deaf ears.

It is now up to Obama (stangely silent – and this will hurt his legacy ) now and the few good-hearted, non-self serving GOP members that we have. Peoplelike McCain, Ryan, the Bushes even.  What follow is my exact email to the electorate. And a list of their emails, should you care to try and make a dent in their truth shields.  

………..

Please weigh your options with the gravity they deserve – from ex-classmate of DT

This is no longer a joke. I went to U of P with D.T. We were in business together when we were young in AC and he was having fun ruining people’s lives and cheating on his wives. People are ants to DT – casino day trippers – all. 

Especially when he says I love this country. He never knew what love is. Love involves giving. Every normal person knows that. Donald never gave much, not even to charity. Even his hugs are insincere to watch

D.T. has always been a life ruiner. Nothing has changed for him. No new leaf for D.T. Not in this lifetime for him. He is not going to be born again. THAT is why everything feels so incomplete for him and why he is endlessly greedy. I think you know this down deep anyway. 

But now its your turn to save our democracy, not only for yourself, but for your kids and grandkids. 

Did you ever wonder if there was a time in history when Hitler could have been stopped? There was but no one knew that moment in 1933. Well, Trump is not Hitler. OK. But Trump may be a modern day Manchurian candidate. And we need to know before we put him in.

I know that he put that billon he “said” he lost in Russia and East Europe. Putin knows this too. So Trump is now blackmailed or bribed by Putin, hence he puts the Exxon guy as head of state. He is in for a cut, and maybe for his life. We don’t know how deep he is in bed with Russia and we won’t until he reveals his taxes.

Exxon has shareholders. A CEO cant juggle shareholders and the US’s best interests. He’s going to side with his best interest, because he too has greed disease. 

Listen, put Pence in. Put Kasich in. McCain. Romney. Ryan. These are or normal enough people. I don’t care. Put Bernie in. That is someone who really cares and always has about working people – and you know that too. But DT is not mentally well and never has been. 

Its time to be Americans – not Dems and GOP’s. We need each other to be on the same side now.It’s like that last scene from “The Russians are Coming” , when we come together. This is that moment! In your hands. 

The super-rich like us divided – that way we have no united voice. They get what they want. We all get screwed. The Untied States of America? Enough!

Its time to say “I wont vote UNTIL there is an investigation of the Russian hacking and we understand exactly what happened and who were the players and who knew what when.  And if you follow the money, you get the WHY.

And I would throw in that if anything points to D.T. or McConnell, that their taxes must be revealed before they take office. Both of them . But D.T. for sure. His taxes will lead you to Russia. I know this. Maniford was his fund runner and mole. 

You can only find this out by not voting until there is clarity as to who Trump really is and who he is in bed with. Therefore he would never release his taxes. Once prez, he will be able to hide them forever. Release his taxes and you will likely see him board his jet and leave the USA forever. That draft dodger instinct is still in him. He would likely be arrested upon their release. In fact, if you told him you would vote for him IF he would release his taxes to clear things up, he would still say no! Try that one. Try it Monday. Watch what he says. 

Dear Electors. You really don’t want to be responsible for this. You don’t want to be the people who sold out the US, who could have saved the world – but did had not have the wisdom to act slowly and deliberately at a very crucial time. You may be forgotten by history, if there is one, but at the very least, your progeny will never forgive you.

If he gets cleared, then fine. But he won’t. he knows that. Thats why he says “no investigation: That’s why he has no time for briefings. He is busy covering his tracks, tryingto save his own life perhaps. Putin will kill you if you cross him. D.T. knows that too.

And there is no need to rush this unless you are in on the deal.  Be careful. Choose wisely and all that knightly stuff. 

OK – so here is my blog. Skim the last few. Get OBAMA, McCain and the Bushes involved. They will all help you! Obama needs to make an emergency speech by Wednesday the latest.

Thank you for your time and consideration. 

sent with love, JA

PS. The sucking sound he gives out before he makes some statements, is him sucking it up because he knows he is about to lie. It’s very apparent. He has never been a druggy. And the human part of him needs something extra ( see he has soul )  to push out that lie. That explains that. And you knew that too. 

PPS. And not taking briefings shows, he does not have the focus for this job. It’s like an actor who is not reading his scripts. He has no focus. He never did when I knew him closer either. More like a model than a leader. So what if he got rich? Big deal. There are rich thieves everywhere. And some rich people who are honorable too. Al Capone got rich that stealy way too. Did we make him POTUS? 

 

 

 

I want to start (and intersperse) this blog on the etymology of greed with quotes from some historically accepted great minds. “If your conduct is determined solely by considerations of profit you will arouse great resentment.” ― Confucius

That “resentment” has begun with now president-elect, D.T. I will no longer advertise his brand, or dignify him by writing his name. He is D.T. – like E.T., a sick alien – but not a friendly alien who just wants to go home.

I’ve long known D.T. and his unbalanced, self-centered view of life. I knew him from college and from his casino days in AC. To me, considering D.T. to be successful would be like considering a cancer to be successful because it considers to grow. In fact, D.T. is employing one of the great characteristics of cancers, they mask themselves as benevolent agents to avoid detection.  “Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell.” ― Edward Abbey, The Journey Home

Today, they have just begun to get to the truth, which if they will just follow the trail to D.T.’s taxes, will indeed disclose that he has very real ties to Russian and is a sort of Manchurian candidate. It was revealed that D.T. and Mitch McConnell rebuked the CIA’s statement that the Russians hacked the election to favor one side. McConnell stonewalled any effort to even consider the matter. No wonder. McConnell’s wife was put on D.T.’s cabinet. This smells like a crooked back-room deal to anyone with an objective .

And it goes further – much further. We have also learned that Rex Tillerson (CEO of Exxon) may be D.T.’s top pick for secretary of state. Tillerson is a good friend to Putin. Both these men clearly suffer from greed disease. They jointly tried to coordinate a 500-billion-dollar oil drilling somewhere near Siberia. Environmental considerations and pressure from Obama quashed that deal. So Putin made a deal with D.T. The deal was this: Putin tries to get D.T. into office, and if successful, D.T. makes Tillerson Secretary of State so they can do this deal together. Screw the environment is their m.o., just as a cancer screws the host’s body.

We have here a perfect storm – three of the most greedy and needy people on earth, plotting for their benefit to the detriment of all of us. How we allow this to happen is beyond me. And when will it stop? “He who is not content with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.” ― Socrates

Me, for one, I have joined the California National Party, and if D.T. is not arrested before he takes office, which I still hold hope for, I will work for the CNP to get Californians out of the entrapments in the USA that always play out in the regimes of those obsessed with greed. We have seen this before, but so far, never in America. Californians, to their credit, were not taken in by this charlatan and we should not have to be his stooges, even for four years. 

What I see coming here is the initial phases a dystopian USA – one that reminds me of the politics of The Hunger Games.

And now it gets even worse. When people have greed disease they don’t have any idea when enough is enough. Same with cancer, right? They just keep sucking the life out of the host organism, and in this case the host organism is both the earth (the body) and the petty people (anyone but them and theirs) who inhabit it. “The Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

The Etymology of GREED

So now let’s look at the actual etymology of GREED which is very close to NEED in that Gandhi quote.

I break GREED down into two factors. GR+EED. The EED factor is a derivative of the very common word EAT. So, what is the nature of GR? I can say it best with this image from my book “Deciphering the English Code”.

The origin of the word GREED goes way back into the Stone Ages in Africa, where  GRR had a singular meaning in the animal kingdom. When an animal makes a GRR-sound, it has one thing in mind: it wants to GROW its image in the mind of the listener. There are a few reasons an animal will want to do this – it might want to scare away a fight, it might want to let an animal know there is no sense fighting and be submissive.

That millions-year-old animal meaning of GRR – that meaning of GROWTH – is preserved in a huge percentage of English words that start with, or have GR as a factor. That is one of the most amazing things I discovered in researching my book. GR has been carrying that meaning for as long as men have been on earth – and well before that. It’s as old as the animal kingdom. This meme goes back to the dinosaurs!

GRR led to words like GROW and GROCER. Because grass grows green in the ground, all those GR-words came to be. And GIRLS were named for growing the next generation.

GREED’s etymology is now quite easy to understand. GREED means GREAT EATER. And again, is that not what a cancer does?  The last word in the image, HUNGER – I think of as deriving from the sound of the GROWL in a hungry stomach – along with a sort of UN/negative sense. And hunger is what happens when we allow greedy needy sick people to become our leaders, dictators …. or presidents. We see it everywhere on planet earth.

It’s about to happen here folks. Reveal D.T.’s taxes before January 10^th and he will not only step down, that draft dodger may even flee the country.r 

I find it unfathomable that the Russians can hack into our politics and “we” cannot or will not hack into his taxes. It is also unbelievable that the media is acting like we have to accept the outcome of an election hacked and therefore rigged – by Putin. With what was presented today, it should be clear that D.T.’s taxes contain the trails we need to uncover the Russian hacking plot on our election.  Why on earth would he not reveal them if he had nothing to hide?  If we don’t want to end up like Kateness, a prisoner inu a world run by the greedy, we must act now and in solidarity. And Obama, you dont need permission to se ehis taxes! You are still president and there is a clear and present danger to our democracy! And you should ask the electors to hold off their votes, until the Russian hack is fully explored. 

And with that, I leave you with a song I wrote, when I was on chemo – about the nature of greed and sharing.

https://soundcloud.com/joey-z-2/asongforhealing

Please  – pass this along. Facebook it. Twitter it. Write your (Democratic) congressman. Someone must know a guy who knows a guy. D.T. asked Russia to hack in. Were we not listening? We have hackers too. And the IRS does not even need a hacker to scrutinize taxes. An undercover investigation by a determined POTUS for the national security would do it. Let’s get this done ASAP. This job has “by any means possible” status.

You have to catch a cancer early, right? It works that way with greedy people too. They are effectively the same thing. If we start right now, before this cancer takes root and begins to metastasize, we can save the USA – and the future of the world.  – JA

I went to college with Trump and knew him from AC. We had similar fathers, depression survivor salesman types – and we were both groomed by our fathers to be “salesmen”. I chose a slightly different path. But I understand how this guy thinks. His “staged speeches” are part of his sell the public show. For that reason, you can’t learn much from his scripted speeches. But if you listen carefully – he actually reveals the way he thinks in his off-script comments. 

The first off-script comment I tuned in to was said when he decided to throw his hat in the ring. He said ” We’re going to have some fun with this.” And that actually reveals his true mind and his entire attitude to the presidency and his life. If it ain’t fun for Trump, its not for Trump. The army was not fun, he got out. He just called it “fun” fighting Hillary. Grabbing women by the p#### was fun for Trump, so that was OK. Got it, folks? This man just wants to have fun. His theme song should be “Trump just wants to have fun”. 

The off-script comment I am now most worried about now is this one, and it’s serious. “You’re supposed to take the oil if you win in war, right?”  Now Trump is lining up with Exxon execs for Secretary of State. What he is figuring out right now is how to get rich like Rockefeller, who was the actual founder of Exxon Oil, (Standard Oil), through the presidency.  And this is off-script comment is really dangerous!

Setting the Stage for War with the Middle East

Much of the world’s oil is in Arab countries. What I see now is an alignment forming with Russia. It’s more than just his Russian wives. He has known financial allegiances to Russia. I believe those allegiances go back to AC, when he likely parked the cash that he allegedly lost in AC, in Russia to avoid taxes, running the Crazy Eddie scam. No casino lost money in AC in the 1980’s – I was there. I know this.

This Russian alignment is presented to his base as a war on Islam, but it really is setting the stage ( that’s what he does ) against the oil rich countries, with the stated clear intent to take the Arab oil this time.  

This will not only be an ecological disaster for the entire planet which should now be weaning itself off fossil fuels, but it will leave our kids with disastrous karmic debts to pay. The bombing of the World Trade Towers was inspired by our military presence in the Middle East. An American militia doesn’t belong there any more than an Arab militia would be welcome in our backyards.Take their oil, and they would have reason to try to do far worse than 911. Imperialism makes no sense in a world with a large population and scarce resources. 

And Trump has the eminent domain component to his thinking. I witnessed that in AC when he tried to get a lady’s home to make his buildout easier. All about him. Getting valuable things for cheap is just as important to him as not paying taxes was. That too was a non-scripted thing he leaked out. He was smart to buy cheap, right? Listen between the lines folks! Not the scripted speeches. They are distractions. 

So how do you think Arabs will feel if the oil under their land is taken by Trump or Exxon? How do the Indians feel near the Dakota Pipeline? I’ll tell you how they feel. They are ready to die for what is theirs – and so will Arabs. 911 will be a relatively small hit compared to what could happen if we get into taking what does not belong to us. And it ain’t for us anyway? It’s Trump and his family that stands to gain. And no American should be ready to die for them. They certainly would not, for you. 

Trump’s Achilles Heel

So today, I ask people that people in power, who care about this country, to do one thing –  find a way to get Trump’s taxes revealed! That is his Achilles heel. There must be someone out there  – a guy who knows a guy – who can get this done. If those taxes are revealed before he takes office, he won’t even be able to take office. It will disqualify him to all. I am 100% sure of that. Otherwise, he would have declared his taxes. It’s that simple. He is hiding something he cannot reveal. And that should not be allowed – for our mutual protection. 

Like I said. I know the way this guy thinks. He’s only really thinking about getting richer. He is that sick. A health evaluation which includes mental health would have revealed that. Someone in power should also initiate legislation that for the common good that makes it impossible to even seek such high offices without seven years of taxes revealed, and a health evaluation by the Surgeon General. We don’t have time for that now. But we can get his taxes revealed. That should be our strategy now. It can happen through WikiLeaks. It does not matter how it happens. It just has to happen by January 10th about. Sooner is better.

Is anybody in power listening? Are we just standing by watching this Hitler-esque coup of the our beautiful beacon of light, America, by this potential Manchurian candidate? Really? That’s what many intelligent people feel in their guts. Trust that gut. Get this done today! Make the call. You will save our country, our kid’s future and the planet. 

I’m probably going to have to cut down on my political blogging, just because the thought of having Trump, a person I grew up with in the Northeast, be my POTUS, is literally plaguing me. “Pinch me” seems appropriate, as I keep hoping I will wake up one morning and find Trump has been implicated in something that precludes him from actually taking office. He may have been correct about his opponents having low energy. As he fills the proverbial swamp with his alligators, where is the outrage people?  

Please boycott Trump’s businesses and the businesses of his allies. Vote with your wallet! It works a lot better than ballot voting. In fact, if we all voted with out wallets everyday, we would soon be living in a the world we dream of. We would not need politicians to get stuff done, because business would have to do it for us. Polticians are middlemen. And it would not take long. One healthy business quarter starving out our true enemies: polluters, science deniers, restaurants that serve unhealthy food and underpay their staff, and banks with billionaires for CEO’s, and they would be asking us – how can we do this better folks?

I picture a new political party, the Consumer’s Party – one based in the reality of our everyday lives. We are all consumers, Democrats and Republicans. The divide is artificial. Our founding fathers created the United States of America, but big business is actively promoting the Untied States of America. Did you notice how close those two words are, united and untied?

So today, I am going to discuss the source of the word FASCIST. It’s actually a relatively new word, but of course, all words can be traced far back in time with some logic. Here is what the OED has on FASCIST:

fascist (adj.) 1921, from Italian partito nazionale fascista, the anti-communist political movement organized 1919 under Benito Mussolini (1883-1945); from Italian fascio “group, association,” literally “bundle”. “Groups of men organized for political purposes”. Had been a feature of Sicily since c. 1895, and the 20c. totalitarian sense probably came directly from this.  As a noun from 1922 in English.

The closest word in English is FASTEN. The C in FASCIST provides the closure, the way C-words do in CLC – connected faces is how I see fascist. That is exactly what we see going on now in Trump’s cabinet choices. – Trump is building a group of men who will stick together and make loyalty to the boss more important than loyalty to Amercian ideals. Other words close to fascist and fasten is paste. 

Of course, the working class people who voted him in are not students of history, and they are about to find that their candidate had plenty of energy to get their vote for his own purposes – but since he has never made a sacrifice for others in his entire life – I dont think he is suddenly going to work to support working people. These are the same people he fleeced in his casinos. Bus trippers to him. Cattle. It takes a certain mentality to ruin lives and sleep at night. I do run into naive people who think he may change. Yes, people sometimes evolve in their old age. I hope he does. But many don’t evolve. And so far, he seems like that kind of person to me. His words and actions are still about the same they would have been in his high school days. Frankly, almost any decent person would have been a better choice than Donald Trump for POTUS. Thats an exxagertaion, but it’s not that far off.

I saw the movie ARRIVAL tonight. This is a beautiful story whose moral is “communication” or language is man’s most important tool.  I fully agree. That is the main thrust of my book, Deciphering the English Code, as you get to the end of it. What I discovered is that our languages are much more connected than we generally believe scholars included.  And though we can not predict the future with Common Language Code, CLC, we can get a sense from whence we have come with CLC. When we see how the codes in our native languages relate to those in other tongues in brings us closer together.

The best weapon we will have to deal with the problem s of the future, is some semblance of underdstanding the lanaguages of our enemies.What we can end up finding out, is that we all have a lot in common – and we have been largely sold, by the miltiary/industrial complexes, here and over there, on the idea that we are others. 

And perhaps just knowing from whence we have come, can provide the best shot for an optimistic prognosis for our future. History does repeat itself.

Which brings me back to FASCIST. Let’s keep our eye on the ball here, please! Two hundred and forty years of democracy, and 70 years without a world war can all go down the drain with one wrong move – or tweet!

 

Trump is not even president yet, and the truth is that over half of Americans already think we made a big mistake. There are even folks who voted for Donald Trump as a protest vote, thinking he was going to lose, based on the polls, and now wish they could have their votes back.

People on the proverbial left would like to give him a chance, but a few of his early choices are leaving them very uncomfortable. The most forboding of those choices is his selection of Steve Bannon, president of an alt-right publication that regularly promotes nationalism and anti-Semitism. That choice is already giving the Don aggida and he must know it has made it harder for him to get cooperation in Congress. Further, Jared Kushner, his son-in-law and one of his inner voices of reason does not like Bannon for many obvious reasons, not the least of which is that he is a orthodox Jew. 

So why did Trump make this choice of Steve Bannon? There are a few logical reasons, but none of them bode well for the American people. 

#1 Steve Bannon was selected because he got Trump there and its a loyalty thing. But then  I would have to ask this some questions.  The election is over and so is campaigning. Should he not be surrounding himself with those well versed in international politics – as Trump would admit he is not a student of history? ( This is where I add in that I was a classmate of Trump at Penn in International Finance, and though he graduated, I know he paid for his homework to be done and was not “studying” in his senior year. ) Bannon seems to be a choice he has made for himself, not the American people.

So none of this is sound logic or the result of a man dedicated to work for the middle class. And so, I dont buy this as his reason. The friction with Kushner and Ivanka alone would leave me to believe he would have preferred to have kept Bannon as an outside friend he confides in. So then what follows is even more cause for concern.

#2 Steve Bannon was selected because Bannon has something on Trump! Now that actually makes sense. Trump does not need the aggida of a contraversial figure like Bannon, but Bannon is insisting, perhaps even thinking fo 2020. And that should have us all very worried. 

Which brings me to #1 – TAXES. The Donald promised that after the election he would release his taxes – or, at the right time. Well, if he did not want to hinder his chances of winning, that excuse is over. What I believe is that there are potential dirty secrets hidden in those taxes – liaiaons with shadowy Russian banks.

I even question whether Bannon actually rigged the election in the rust belt states and is holding that over Trump. I would put nothing past Bannon. And this leads me to add yet one more demand in my imaginary boycott of Trump’s businesses and the businesses of this supporters – the release of his taxes before he takes office.

Honestly, we must insist upon this not only because of the circumstances which surround Trump, but as a check and balance on a potential Manchurian candidate, now and going forward, – owing to Trump’s Russian heritage and his being in a cash casino businesses. Trump showed no decency by skirting a billion in taxes. So what makes anyone think he did not send mules to Russia with cash taped to their bodies, the way Crazy Eddie did in the 1980’s? Trump’s sister was married to the guy who defended Crazy Eddie Antar. They know this “deposit cash abroad” scheme. Later  you can borrow your own money back and use it tax free as loan as borrowed funds. It could show up as a loan from a Russian bank. Maybe Bannon knows that too. 

So please. I ask Al Franken in MN, a democratic senator if the rust belt to please examine his vote totals very carefully and report any discrepancies as evidence of election tampering. I ask that the “Trump U” case not be put off and get covered before he gets inaugurated. I ask that we all boycott his businesses cold turkey until we get the taxes published,  and the removal of Bannon. There is a site called BUYCOTT.COM. Please sign up asap and follow thru. Make this go viral asap. We  must STARVE THIS BEAST – and force a confession. 

Ironically, this is the same strategy I have asked Black Lives Matter to adopt for years. Unified Boycott. The power of the purse. And you dont stop until you get your demands. This cuts out the political middlemen – and goes right to the bottom line of the same businesses that are buying our representative form of government. Protest is old and worn. Boycott works because the people who rig government are greedy by nature. We dont even have to boycott entire list of Trump and Trump Friend businesses. A few choice ones would do it. 

People. This is no time to sulk. We are unified now. And our 200 year history is potentially under siege by a rogue element. It sure feels that way to me. Spread the word to everyone you  know. This can go viral in a few days. We can not waste this opportunity. In 60 days, its not going to be there. And it may never come back. 

 

 

English is a melting pot of a language. English contains words derived from more foreign tongues than any other. That results in many cases of multiple words for the same concept.

PRE-, ANTE and BEFORE are three words that basically mean …. before. They sound completely different, but their roots are closer than one might think from the sounds of these words.

If you look up the source of FIRST at etymonline.com, you see a lot of Germanic F-words like  furist,  første, and fyrstr. What is revealed there is a mental connection to the image of a FIRE STARTER. But there is also a connection to words like PRE, a Proto-Indo-European root word. PRE and FIR are related via the well-documented P/F morph pathway. 

Still, what does a FIRE STARTER have to do with the sense of before-ness? To appreciate that we have to look at another word, with a similar meaning – ORIGINAL. Therein you see the early light-word OR ( hebrew) and AURA ( sounding like OR). So what ORIGINAL says is LIGHT-GENERATED. And that resounds with one of the very first thoughts in our bibles. First there was light. There clearly was a meme that existed in our ancestors that said ” the sun started all life”. It got twisted when that process got assigned to dieties. But analysis of our words can reveal the way we thought before god entered the stage, even tens of thousands of years ago. I always find that most amazing. Like a time machine really.

ANTE is also a referal to gods. The Sumerian word for SKY was AN. It exists because when you say AN ( AHN ) your tongue ends up pressed againt the upper part of your mouth. Even the AH is a large sound. The sense of AHN would have been LARGE – UP, a metaphor for god and the sun as well.

What joins PRE, BEFORE and ANTE is a meme that existed in our Stone Age ancestors. That meme said the sun started all life, the sun’s existance preceded our existence, the sun came before the earth. We knew that 10,000 and probably 100,000 years ago. And yet, we still can find people who question this.

The word ANTI meaning against is a bit weird. At etymonline.com we ANTI:  from PIE *anti- “against,” also “in front of”. The original sense must have been in front of, which has a sense of beforeness in it.

The main  meaning became against somewhere back in time. It almost feels like someone was in a line, ahead of another, and defended their position against the second in line. Coming before another, became being against another: and ante became anti. 

Finally, since I uncovered the sense of the word FIRST, I should cover the word SECOND as well. That’s easy, but also confirms FIRST as firestarter. SECOND comes from SEQUEL, which means “to follow”. So yes, first there was the sun and then all else followed.
