When You Know Someone Can’t Be Trusted

If you hire someone you know is dishonest, you have no problem.   You know this helper steals so you watch her, and you keep an accurate record.  So when you can’t find something, you’ll say; “Odette, please find my perfume.. I don’t recall exactly where I left it…”

And Odette will know you know she stole it, and know you’ll take it out of her pay, and maybe fire her, so she finds it.

When you know Jimmy is a ‘galist’ (that is a man who has lots of girl friends) you never become one, and if he asks you out, you’ll nyam (eat) his pocket, because you know he’s trying to use you, so you use him.  He buys you dinner, takes you to the show, and then, at the end of the date you go off without even a kiss.

When you know Nanna doesn’t like to pay and will cheat you,  you have a lot of excuses why you can’t do anything for her, which eventually leads to her paying you upfront, in advance, more than you’d charge another person.

In short, all you need to know is that a person is dishonest and you’ve gotten full protection.

For centuries the major powers, whether the United Kingdom or the United States, will try to deceive the little countries, be they actual colonies or spheres of influence, or nations bullied by a more powerful nation.

For centuries the major powers will tell the 3rd and 4th world what they want them to believe, and truth or fiction is blurred.

A 3rd or 4th World nation might believe that the Big Power will help them, then wind up caught in ‘string’ loans, (that is, loans given to a nation which can only be used to buy products from that nation). The weaker nation might wind up having to ‘host’ an enclave of the Big Power on their soil.

Very often a 3rd or 4th World nation is fed lies and eats them, and only finds out years later that they’ve been tricked.

With a proven liar, as Donald Trump, who holds the position of President of the United States, the rest of the World is protected from being fooled.   We know he can’t be believed.  That nothing out of his mouth is true, save that he is racist, xenophobic, and sexist.

Knowing his complete lack of character, we can stay far from him, and the United States, and make our deals with other nations.  What we buy from America can be sourced elsewhere, and will be sourced elsewhere, because one can’t trust America.

The far left and most vocal libertarians have often warned of the dangerous nature of the United States.  They’ve pointed to various actions in which America did not keep a promise, or interfered in a manner which it had previously discarded.

Now, they can sit back, in silence, because everyone knows that Donald Trump is a liar.

The recent ‘Sweden’ lie has amused the world.

Firstly, this guy is President of the United States.  He’s supposed to know what he’s talking about.  He’s supposed to have advisors.  If he says something there is supposed to be proof.   Now we know.  He makes it up as he goes along.   So nothing he says can be taken as true, not even half true.

Secondly, he appoints a guy totally anti-Environmental Protection to be in charge of Environmental Protection.

That’s never happened before.   That’s like appointing an Imam to be a Priest in a Catholic Church.

He appointed a known racist to be Attorney General, so we know what will happen if segregation is re- instituted.

Those of us who know history can glance at the internment camps set up during World War II to house Japanese Americans, and would not be taken by surprise if similar camps are created for Muslims or those who came from the Seven nations.

No longer will someone stand up in Parliament and defend the United States.   Anything America says or does or suggest will be treated with the utmost suspicion.

So, in one way, the scales have dropped from all our eyes and we are no longer going to take America’s word on anything.
