He Who Shall Not Be Named: Our Shadow President
We have much more important topics to discuss than what constitutes a Nazi salute.
Oh, man, am I sick of this man-child.
For those of you just joining us, my previous writings on our new oligarch overlord:
I read the Walter Isaacson biography of this guy over the holidays. I didn't really want to, but it had been picked as that month's Book Club selection. Ultimately, it was good that I got through those 600 pages, and I do recommend it to others. Isaacson’s a wonderful writer, and I plan to read his Leonardo da Vinci book next, when I’m ready for another biography.
The book makes it abundantly clear that the reason for the bizarre behavior and childishness of our new Shadow President is entirely straightforward: He was traumatized as a child by his abusive father and the violent, white-supremacist culture he experienced growing up in South Africa. He has PTSD, and he has a far, far worse case than what I've endured since 2021.
However, PTSD is only the medical, scientific description of what really happens when people experience life-changing trauma.
The mystical/occult description of what happens is that violence to the body and terror to the mind open up the soul for a much more intense, closer communion with the spiritual realm.
This manifests in different ways. In its most positive sense, the individual can simply grow more aware of everyone's spirits and can commune with universal wisdom. You can learn to invoke angelic spirits and unify with aspects of the divine. It brings you closer to God, like being in a state of prayer all the time.
To the mystic seeking God, the spiritual realm is like a grocery store. You just reach in and grab whatever quality of the divine you need at that moment to heal from the infinite cruelties of physical consciousness.
But it also goes the other way. Being more spiritually open also invites the attack of "dark spirits," "ghosts," or simply demons. There's a pretty wide variety out there, and it's difficult to identify them, since they shape their forms in so many ways. They intentionally want to deceive and trick us. They do this because they’re hungry, and they need to literally chew the life force out of our souls. They're like ticks or lice or the federal government. (Just kidding.)
So what has happened with the Shadow President is that latter, negative outcome. All the trauma he has experienced has opened him up wide for demonic possessions. And that's what's happened his whole life: just one dark spirit after another climbing aboard. And his video game addiction has just fueled it even more; hours and hours spent fantasizing about war and murder and domination.
And now these cruel beasts have bought a presidency at a bargain-basement price.
Or rather: the Axis of Genocide—Russia-China-Iran—has bought the presidency.
He Who Shall Not Be Named—as I shall refer to him now, since his name has become the grossest obscenity in my view—is entirely dependent on China in order to maintain his so-called wealth.
As soon as China decides it would be in its interest to do anything negative to Tesla, then the Shadow President loses his status of "wealthiest man in the world." Any serious disruption to Tesla's production and/or cultural image, and he returns down to the status of "just another arrogant billionaire with a loud mouth."
Thus: China owns him. He is their beast on a leash. This is plain as day, and people on the far left and far right, like Steve Bannon and Laura Loomer, know it just as well as conventional liberals and moderate conservatives in the political mainstream.
The Shadow President is going to guide the Reality TV President to perpetually move more and more in favor of China, as well as in any other direction which will expand his business influences.
This is an obscenity. An influence agent loyal to hostile, rogue regimes has now infiltrated the top of the Executive Branch.
So, no, I am not going to write his name anymore. Sally and I re-watched the “Harry Potter” movies over the holidays, too, and made the mistake of checking out the Fantastic Beasts trilogy afterwards. Big mistake! The “Star Wars” prequels didn't work, and these are even more painful. J.K. Rowling may be a very powerful witch, but she’s excruciating to endure as a screenwriter.
So given that he is the world's leading source of authoritarian advocacy and an apologist of genocidal slave states, it's going to be "He Who Shall Not Be Named" and "Shadow President."
So you all want to argue about whether he made a “Sieg Heil” salute or not?
You want to debate whether or not he is actually a Nazi?
Grow the fuck up, seriously. Russia, China, Iran, North Korea—these countries are ruled by evil men who are inflicting untold numbers of cruelties and injustices against the people they claim to govern. And the "wealthiest man in the world" is aligned with them. And he's now managed to maneuver the most powerful government in human history into alignment with them, as well.
Maybe that’s a much more important discussion to have, rather than the difference between a "Sieg Heil" salute or a "Roman salute" or to “debate” over internet comment threads whatever he actually believes in that head soaked in South African white supremacy and adolescent science fiction novels.
Traumatized men with demons chewing on their souls are running the world: enslaving people, waging imperial wars of conquest, supporting terrorists, and enabling criminal gangs.
And this is largely the way it's always been. This is the way civilization has operated since about 3500 BC or so.
You think the world is different now, that humanity has somehow "evolved" just because you can order pizza from this little rectangular thing you hold in your hands?
You're still a slave running in the sun in Babylon.
So it's He Who Shall Not Be Named, the Shadow President, in loyal service to his masters Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Ali Khamenei.
Don't laugh—this isn't a joke. This is how the world is operating now. All that's different is that a couple of these demon-possessed creatures have some very funny spirits animating them from the inside.
Just don't let them distract you from seeing the people suffering in the world's authoritarian regimes.
I feel like it's absolutely wild that China was able to get so much influence compared to the first Trump administration. Trump's right hand man has vested interests in kowtowing to the CCP and it's authoritarianism.
The most dangerous thing about Musk is that he truly believes he knows best, but he is irratic and often wrong. When he gets caught being wrong, he throws a tantrum and gets his feelings hurt...like Trump.
It's just not the kind of person you want to be as powerful as he has become. Trump and Musk are going to break something. I am not sure what, but they will.
I loved the descriptions of the dark spirits taking him over after trauma. I’ve heard this said before - I think by Eckhart Tolle - that trauma goes two ways, and I agree.
I need to read up more on his links with China but this bit puzzles me though - especially given Trump’s anti China rhetoric and the tariffs.
I was seeing things as Trump cosying up with Russia but quite the reverse with China. In fact I worry that there could be a war with China over Taiwan. Taiwan seems more vulnerable than ever and it makes all these chips. My husband is a programmer and has emphasised that this is where they’re all made for any hardware now. If China took Taiwan over it would certainly become the AI long.
Do you still think Taiwan is even more at risk now and do you think Trump feels differently towards China to He Who Shall Not be Named ?
