THE TRUTH IS NIGH

We've been reading about how President Trump has done nothing but destroy our alliances with the other countries that once stood against evil but now embrace it and I can honestly say I've gotten really tired of the people that don't understand that America has no real friends at all and the only people who play with us on our team are the ones who are out for something they think they can only get from US. They're right but also very shallow. That's the way it is and the world needs all kinds. But the Truth has just shaken out its colors and declared jihad against the forces of evil and darkness and called upon those who claim to be our allies to actually stand up and be counted. I don't doubt where we will find them come morning.

No one has given the Islamic Republic of Iran a greater opportunity to make a Deal than me. TRAGICALLY, for them, they have failed to take it. Therefore, today, I am announcing the MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION EVER TAKEN AGAINST ANY COUNTRY! This will be Economic Warfare and Isolation on an unprecedented scale. Their navy is gone, their air force is destroyed, their military factories are now rubble, their currency is worthless, and their country is hanging by a thread. Today, I am also announcing that ANY country that allows its financial institutions, businesses, airports, or government entities to provide any type of lifeline to Iran will itself face TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences. Oil smuggling, swap lines, cash transfers, exchange houses, ship registries, front companies — It all needs to stop NOW. You know who you are. This will be an ECONOMIC D-DAY, and we need all of our Allies to stand with the United States of America to isolate, and defeat, the Iran threat. These maniacs are on the ropes, and these HISTORIC MEASURES will cripple them and their ability to project terror worldwide. IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. President DONALD J. TRUMP

 Iran has allies because there are a score of countries that will use any tool and any weapon to leave a mark on America and they really have no compunction about crawling into bed with the mullahs, shariah and the jihadis. They can't abide any of them but they only really care about doing an injury to America and a few about doing a personal injury to Trump. Oh yeah, the media everywhere is all in on Iran's side. Any and all enemies of President Trump are their biggest allies and bosom buddies.

But now is when the rest of the world gets to see what the West is made of. I won't be surprised because I don't actually expect any ruler in Europe to stand with Trump on this and I expect every ruler and figurehead there to denounce him and his sanctions. I am expecting a little better from South and Central America and even from a tiny handful of countries in Asia.

I don't think any of them are taking the Long View and seeing what endless Jihad means to the West in a time when there are literally no warrior kings to stand for the West and only an endless torrent of petty rulers, silly women and oceans of foul jurists who will strangle any and all efforts to enter the lists on America's side. That's Okay. Huntingdon called it when he wrote and published, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of the World Order and Mark Steyn nailed it when he wrote and published,  America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It.

Those familiar with history will probably agree that this has happened as recently as 1492. The Black Death just about ended feudalism in the most important ways you can imagine and it was followed by the doubling of the size of the whole world. Some might say that was the Industrial Revolution but I'm willing to talk about it over coffee. Last time it didn't pan out well for the Stone Age. This time around it may not work out for the children of the Industrial Revolution.

 The picture is from the Cabrillo Monument at the very end of Point Loma in San Diego. It captures the essence of a world gone now for just over a century. I'm afraid that God did not survive in Europe after 1919.

It says, "They died in the service of God and his Majesty and to give light to those who sat in darkness and also to acquire the wealth which most men covet." The words are inscribed over a map of the whole new world that Columbus and his men discovered and reported back to Spain.
