Nostradamus, the famous 16th-century astrologer, made several predictions that have been interpreted in various ways over the years. While he didn't specifically mention the downfall of wealthy people, he did make some general predictions about wealth and prosperity.

One interpretation of Nostradamus' predictions suggests that certain numbers can bring financial growth and prosperity. For example, the number 7 is considered a symbol of luck and abundance, while the number 8 represents infinite wealth1. Nostradamus also associated the number 4 with stability and practical success1.

Additionally, Nostradamus' vision encourages rethinking wealth and value in an era of rapid change, pushing global economies toward innovation or chaos2.

Perhaps the days of "Rich man in his castle, poor man at his gate" are coming to an end?

The American problem?

"Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right…and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean of the characters and conduct of their rulers."

John Adams 1735 - 1826 2nd Presidence of the USA.

Trump sence?
"Practical politics consists in ignoring facts"

J D Vance - His forgotten lesson on the office of USA Vice President?

"My country has in its wisdom contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived"

John Adams, USA Vice President - 19 December 1793

How any world leader can deal with a personality such as Trump is beyond me. His twisted personalty is motivated  it seems by personal wealth, and the needs of a TV personality cult. Truth is a flexible morality which he twists on an hourly basis. I think he would fail any job interview on the basis of integrity, trust  and having a criminal record. He would not be able to be trusted to deal with the tea club money and his interpersonal skills are dubious. However he would be a hit at the firms Christmas party as an idiot clown and the subject of ridicule over his sexual preferences.

Under his “leadership” he has bought contempt on himself and his country.

Perhaps the King will educate him on the history of Canada and remind him of the USA *colonial history with Great Britain. The US generation that saved the free world is no longer with us and its largely due to their efforts that the credibility of his nation rests.

Hopefully he is now just over half way through his legal term as President and my only hope is that before long, and before it is destroyed, the people and their elected representatives of the USA use the levers of legality to bring this rampant megalomaniac and his co-conspirators to order.

If they don’t someone may take the law and a weapon into their own hands and cause a second US civil war and open up an even wider global confrontation.

“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty.”

–President John F. Kennedy

Lets hope the current President quickly decides who is friend and foe and lets the world know!

 Can we do business with Trumps America?

Only time will tell but only if we use a long spoon?

Brings a new meaning to the saying “Shining city on a hill”

Originally applied to the city of Boston by early 17th century Puritans, it came to adopt broader use in political rhetoric in United States politics, that of a declaration of American exceptionalism, and referring to America acting as a "beacon of hope" for the world. You are the light of the world.

"Someone needs to trim the lamps wick"?

PMs visit to the White House.

With theUK PM about to set off to kiss the emperors ring what consolatory gifts will he be taking.?

What UK problems will he be aiming to solve?

Will it be the threat of tariffs?

Will it be a possible US withdrawal from NATO.

Will it be the threats to independent states by Russia AND the US?

Do the risks to UK credibility

with the US administration rest with commitment to increase NATO spending and what will be on offer?

Will the  PM remind the neocolonialist that he meets regularly with the head of state of a country that is under threat from an empire building USA?

How will the ethics of a legal mind deal with those of a convicted, lying, failed businessman who tries to  compensate with a Barnham style circus act on the world stage and rejects all but the most compliant advisers?

 

To be continued?        

The possibility of a two state solution is a problem caused as a result of the guilt felt by the Western powers resulting in a Jewish state being imposed on an Arab country rather than a European country namely Germany?

A changing world.

Over recent years UK politics have changed. I always thought Boris was a self centred blustering buffoon who  would have been a better success as a Benny Hill tribute act - so far I have been proved correct. However in today's world when 2nd comings are not uncommon who knows what lies in the future.

With the current change in USA politics and the argued case for the UKs need to increase military expenditure I caste my memory back to the days of the Cold War. The UK then had credible professional defence forces in terms of full time/national service/volunteer reserves. There was a civil defence/ROC/early warning network based on analog communications that were less prone to hacking and EMF damage.

It may be that there are still unknown networks and personal trained and ready to react to civil or wartime emergencies that are not in the public domain but I think this is unlikely?

Is it possible that much of the UK population is more concerned about getting a new tattoo or what's on Sky or Netflix than to worry about their security?

In the last week things have changed, the USA is heading towards isolationism and once again Dads army may seem more relevant?

Perhaps now, more than ever, it is time for all good men to come to the aid of our nation?

Is Trumps ambition for a Nobel peace prize a weakness or a strength?

An old Chinese curse is "May you live in interesting times" - welcome to my world.

After a significant interval of time and recent world wide developments I thought it was again  time  to record my thoughts on some of these developments. The people of the USA have decided to elect a guilty fellon as their President turning the world upside down. Black is now sometimes white and down maybe up depending on Presidential decree. After causing an insurrection on loosing his first term in office this wealthy orange man child has again won the highest elected office in one of the UKs many ex-colonies. He has surrounded himself with the worlds richest technocrats  and has set about to carry out his election promises to the American people. In addition many long standing international alliances have been thrown aside reminiscent of Nazi book burning. This once respected republic now seems intent on its own empire building ambitions in relation to Gaza, Canada and Greenland.

European countries have now rightly been forced to consider making significant contributions to their own defence as the old enemy of the Cold War becomes America’s new …? Russian invasion of an independent European state is declared by the US President as the fault of that nation for not giving up rather than calling out the preemptive attack by a Dictator led aggressor state.

We stand on a significant hing in history where all moral codes play second fiddle to personal and national greed.Where lies and false flag comments are used by American politicians and multimillionaires for personal gain. Using democratic methods as used in Nazi Germany a once proud nation is demonstrating how slippery is the slope from the moral high ground to a pit of dispair for ordinary citizens. It is likely that many hundreds of millions of innocent victims will be effected when these this particular pile of shit hits the fan?

The peace dividend has been squandered by the European nations of all political colours and it is now time to use new technologies and AI to re-equip our armed forces. New taxes will be required with a spin off of new jobs and engineering training opportunities. Drone development and laser weapons maybe cheaper than tanks and ships and ammunition stocks must be increased.

Maybe the hard lessons of the 1930s will have to be relearnt but now is not the time for caring people not to speak out and dig deeper into their pockets?
