The slow excruciating death of a once great nation.

On August 28, 1963, 25,000 Americans marched on Washington to advocate for the civil and economic rights of African Americans. On 14th June 2025 nearly 12 million people took to towns and cities across America to protest against a man who has become the poster child for cruelty. It’s not that the people don’t speak out. It’s simply that politicians refuse to listen.

I had to take a breath yesterday for two reasons. I’ve been doing this now every day for six years because I believe that amidst these desperate, deeply concerning times, the values that I learned to love about America having worked and travelled there so many times over the years remain, and have not been lost.

The visceral hate on display following the victory of Zohran Mamdani in New York is palpable and has made me feel physically sick. Who would have thought that advocating for the people instead of corporate interests would make a man public enemy number one, to the point of where a federal legislator is calling for his denaturalisation and deportation. Ladies and gentlemen, segregation never went anywhere, it simply hides in the shadows. I genuinely fear for his safety moving forward.

I watched the Pentagon briefing with Pete Hegseth veins extended in his neck, as he attacked the press in a way that was a first for me. I have never seen anything quite like it. It was deeply disturbing and very dangerous.

It goes to the very core of how a narcissistic sociopath has infected the soul of a nation like a malignant cancer that is eating America alive. This is a man that is not just dangerous, but truly evil. It is chilling and at the same time unspeakably terrifying. America is being held hostage by what I can only describe as an international crime boss prepared to do ANYTHING in his quest for absolute power.

It is my honest belief that if he was faced with the choice of losing power or committing genocide on immigrants in the US, he would volunteer to turn on the gas taps, that’s who he is and the world should be absolutely terrified, because faced with even being questioned on just the truth of events, he’s prepared to risk the security of millions as vengeance for having the audacity to question a pathological liar.

If as seems likely, Iran moved its enriched Uranium prior to the attack, which Trump has dismissed despite numerous experts suggesting was highly likely, there is now no consideration of a renewed threat. He’s prepared to dismiss any threat so he can double down on claims he made before even initial battle damage assessments could be made.

Do people understand how grossly irresponsible this is on the part of the most powerful man on earth? It does not make America safer, it is just another layer of illusion in a tapestry of lies he has woven since taking office in January.

It makes NOBODY safer, it simply creates the illusion of safety. Just like the illusion of a thriving economy. It’s all lies being reinforced by a bunch of enablers and sycophants.

Trump has normalised the state abduction of civilians by masked men in unmarked vehicles unprepared to identify themselves. Many of these men aren’t law enforcement officers, they are thugs employed by the state for the sole purpose of intimidation.

They are not searching for the dangerous criminals they promised to seek and deport. Instead, they are going for soft targets, turning up at asylum court hearings having been advised that those attending hearings are being stripped of their right to remain at the hearings, thus changing their status, making them eligible to be deported.

They are turning up to nurseries, schools farms to terrorise people whose only crime is to not be white. It is cruelty personified and his base is cheering, as children are traumatised and zip tied, women are assaulted as immigrants are hunted for sport by a bunch of racist thugs employed for the specific purpose of traumatising the immigrant population as a deterrent.

It doesn’t stop there as they are taken to for profit detention centres where they are often put to work for a dollar a day, left without food or water for extended period as their human rights are trampled on for fun, to the point where some are now dying in custody. Slavery never died it just put on a new suit.

Democracy is on life support as the guard-rails are stressed to the point of structural failure. The courts are under assault as the Supreme Court struggles to maintain any sense of legitimacy. Republican legislators cower in a corner whimpering ‘Please don’t hurt us’, while being unable to hold Town Halls in their own states for fear of being faced with angry constituents. At the same time, Democratic establishment figures decided on June 14 to attend the wedding of Alex Soros at the Hamptons while 12 million people took to the streets of the nation to do what they seem unprepared to do. They decided instead to drown their alleged representation of the people in an ocean of champagne and opulence. As Shakespeare wrote “There is something rotten in the state of Denmark’. there is none so blind as those who will not see.

I’m not American, I’m just a guy on the outside looking in, but I have to tell you America is rotting from the inside out while Democrats say ‘What can we do?”.John Lewis and MLK are turning in their graves as humanity, moral integrity and truth wither on the vine, as trust in politicians evaporates at the sight of Democrats circling the wagons around a flogged same old same old horse that’s been dead for years that they are nose blind to.

The world is witnessing the destruction of a once force for good in real time, as they look on in horror. The truth hurts, but it has to be said and someone has to be prepared to say it. You’re welcome.
