Before I begin today's Consideration I want to spend a few moments on Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan's REGIME CHANGE Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump which I finished reading a day ago . I had expected it to contain Psychological Insights into trump and his 'Inner Circle', better regarded as his Cult . I had hoped {and I HATE ---> HOPE} that they had consulted Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Anthropologists and Sociologists and provided their Clinical Assessments of trump : his mental faculties, his derangements, his delusions, his "Malignant Narcissism" and "IT" 's Effects . Nope, wasn't there . Instead they used Description . They describe the existing Conditions surrounding trump, which include his Cult "Figures" . These "Figures", {and I use Figures instead of Characters because characters has a 'shade' of romance to it} have their own 'agenda' that they sought and presently seek to advance through trump's 'Reign of Terror' . It is safe to say that these figures are but facets of trump Malignia* { Malignant Narcissistic Tendencies}, in other words, THEY have "the same Mind" as trump . Not only do they shield him from Reality ( the TRUTH of Reality) but they reinforce The Utmost WORST of Human Depravity . All lack even an iota of Moral and Ethical Decency, In this, they are INHUMAN .

"The Pulse of BEING"
From William James :
"All men know it at those rare moments when the soul sobers herself, and leaves off her chattering and protesting about this formula or that . In the silence of our theories we then seem to listen, and to hear something like the pulse of BEING beat : and it is borne upon us that the mere turning of character, the dumb willingness to suffer and to serve the universe, is more than all theories about it put together . The most any theory about it can do is to bring us to that . Certain it is that the acutest theories, intellectual power, the most elaborate education, are a sheer mockery when, as too often happens, they feed mean motives and a nervous will . And it is equally certain that a resolute moral energy, no matter how inarticulate or unequipped with learning its owner may be, extorts from us a respect we should never pay were we not satisfied that the essential root of human personality lay there ."

"Father Knows Best"
We're not gonna 'fix' trump with even more Demon Energy THAT would be IMPOSSIBLE , so what CAN neutralize trump and the Demons that reside within him ? We just wrote, "You CAN'T fight fire with fire" so what IS ---> Possible ? "Enter stage RIGHT and with FLOURISH" one James Talarico . When I learned that Talarico was a Presbyter my first thought was of Gabriel Byrne and his portrayal of "Father Kiernan" in the 1999 Film "Stigmata" . Recall that Father Kiernan was convinced that "Frankie", portrayed by my Girl Patricia Arquette, was POSSESSED by DEMON ENERGY . Father Kiernan's Mission was to SAVE Frankie and in so doing the ENTIRE CATHOLIC CHURCH from ---> DEMONIC FORCES . You can see it rite* ?
When the Fight is on Earth it's Newsom versus trump, i.e., Moses versus Pharoah but in the Heavenly Realm its Talarico versus trump, i.e., Father Kiernan versus Satan .
When Satan was cast out EVIL was given SUPERNATURAL AGENCY . "IT" was "allowed" to enter OUR Realm where it reeked HAVOC manifested as HORROR and CRUELTY . The WAR is ETERNAL , is now and forever will be . That's the Way "IT" is . "IT" is LIFE .
Tare Forward and Keep the Faith
"Possession defines Ownership"
Elsewhere I have depicted trump as a "Diabolical GENIUS", I stand by that depiction but supplement it as follows : Trump reads at a 4th grade level, two levels worse than the American Reading Level which is 6th grade . Plus, he's IGNORANT to such a degree that most of US can only shake our heads in Bewilderment and Incomprehension . So,,,,, what accounts for this fucking GENIUS ? We have observed that trump "acts like a man possessed". I hazard trump IS POSSESSED by DEMONIC Forces, and that THESE FORCES are responsible for trump being "a PLAGUER of mortal men" as Homer has stipulated AND it is THESE FORCES that are at "GENIUS LEVEL" . BECAUSE TRUMP IS SO FUCKING STUPID HE WAS A PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR DEMONS' ENERGIES. The KGB currently considers trump "A USEFUL IDIOT" . 2 words ; PERFECT .
Trump Rules LIKE A MAN POSSESSED ---- it don't get no better .
De-man
When trump disgusted*, "This place is a dump" (referring to the White House) and decided to move to Mar a Lago to spend much of his time THERE all I could see was the Emperor Constantine moving the capitol of the Roman Empire to Byzantium [later to be renamed, Constantinople] . Thing is~~~ I liked Constantine because of what he did for Christianity and the WORLD for that matter . When Justinian came to Power he, too, Changed the World by his OBSESSION to remake Roman Law and to (get this) MODERNINZE "IT" . He WASN'T "All Demon All the Time" . When I read Procopius my Mind changed because of the direct conflict of Interests, that is, viewing Justinian as "The Great Law-Giver" to DEMON ENTITY . Recall that I tagged trump as >Inhuman< and qualified THAT by labeling him ANIMAL, a one devoid of HUMANITY . I never liked my own shit, tagging him as an ANIMAL was NOT ENOUGH and it disparaged The Great Spirit who gave birth the our brothers and sisters the "Four Legged and the Two Legged" which is blatantly SINFUL . Tagging trump with DEMON is SOOOOOOOO much more suitable to me, despite knowingly defying Academic Protocol . So be it . Demon it is .
"Plaguers of mortal men" ...
There are two passages that are illuminative : Procopius writes ;
"It is said that Justinian's own mother told some of her close friends that he was not the son of her husband Sabbatius or of any man at all . For when she was about to conceive she was visited by a demon, who was invisible but gave her a distinct impression that he was really with her like mn in bodily contact with a woman, Then he vanished like dream ."
It gets better :
"In view of this I, like most of my contemporaries, never once felt that these two were human beings : they were a pair of blood thirsty demons and what poet's (Homer and Aeschylus) call 'plaguers of mortal men' . For they plotted together to find the easiest and swiftest means of destroying all races of men and all their works, assume human shape became man-demons, and in this way convulsed the world. "
"But wait, there's more" :
"For the actions of demons are unmistakably different from those of human beings . In the long course of time there have doubtless been many men who by chance or by nature have inspired the utmost fear, and by their unaided efforts have ruined cities or countries or whatever it might be; but to bring destruction on all mankind and calamities around the whole world has been beyond the power of any but these two, who were, it is true, aided in their endeavors by chance, which collaborated in the ruin of mankind ... "
You can see it rite ? I don't know how this can be missed .
The [NOT SO] SECRET HISTORY
I'm in the process of reading REGIME CHANGE -- Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump written by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan . It's written in an Ancient Style , meaning, each chapter is "about" a specific individual and his or her relationship to trump . As a History-man I see echoes of Plutarch as well as Procopius penman of The Secret History . The SECRET HISTORY I have is the Penguin Classic, translated by G.A. Williamson and what follows is on the back cover :
"Having dutifully written the official war history of Justinian's reign, Procopius turned round and revealed in The Secret History the other faces of the leading men and women of Byzantium in the 6th century . Justinian, the great law-giver, appears as a hateful tyrant, wedded to an ex- prostitute, Theodora ; and Belisarius, the brilliant general whose secretary Procopius had been, is seen as the pliable dupe of his wife Antonia, a woman as corrupt and scheming as Theodora herself . In all, the vicious side of a splendid city is exposed by Procopius with a candor which is revolting ."
Please be patient with me as I unpack what I need from this Treasure Chest .
