A Glaring Indicator Of One Of Nature’s Negative Offsets

As I have said many times nature is constantly offsetting its creations with destruction. We now see an obvious example of this in the current leadership of the American government. Indeed, we are about to witness the extent of damage that can be unleashed when a man of demonic intent backs a president of primitive emotion and intellect, equating to a dynamic duo of unrivaled potential devastation.

Rising out of a party of character muck that has for some time now been willing to sell its soul to the devil for a little bit of power and prestige, we see one Donald John Trump advised (or perhaps more precisely stated) lead by a man of through rot, one Steven K. Bannon.

As President Trump proudly states, this government is going to be unlike any government before it. And as almost every government before it has on balance been a creative, beneficial force for goodness, one might assume that such a change in direction might not portend future positive outcomes.

This change in direction reminds me of a sports story about tennis. A few years back, just after a brash young man became the number one tennis player in the world, he fired the coach that got him there. When asked why he fired his coach, the young man said that he wanted to go in a different direction. Now you see this young man lacked the discipline and the dedication needed to sustain excellence. It had been his coach that had supplied this missing ingredient for success at such a high level.

Therefore when he fired his coach because he said he wanted to go in a different direction, he absolutely did go in a different direction, straight down the rakings never to be heard of again. Now one might say that Steve Bannon is Trump’s coach, but not a very good one. He is not going to take an impetuous man of dubious talent to the top ever, just the opposite. Starting low this festering Bannon Trump combo is on course for a major change in direction from that of some of America’s better leaders of the past, straight down if the nation’s superior elements fail to rally against such a free-fall.

But, alas, as most of America’s rotten eggs are at long last in a single basket (the Republican Party) giving them unprecedented clout, the chances for avoiding irretrievable calamity for the American dream are pretty remote. We are, instead, well into nightmare territory at this juncture as one of nature’s horrendous offsets revs into high gear.
