Doomsday averted – for now

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 8th day of November in the year of our Lord 2024. I will be talking about the most obvious topic in the world today and that is the presidential election. What does the overwhelming Trump victory over Kamala Harris and the entire woke agenda mean or at least what does it mean to me.

Doomsday averted

Doomsday averted—for now. What does that mean? It means that certain burdens the nation had been bearing for many years can now perhaps be lifted. There is at least hope they can be lifted. This election was about those burdens and the American people just do not want them anymore. Completely open borders with nations such as El Salvador, Venezuela, and Mexico emptying their prisons and insane asylums onto our border. Murderers and rapists invited into the country to prey on Americans with no accountability for their crimes.

Little boys and little girls sexually mutilated because of the parents’ mental illness or their school’s mental illness. Despite decades of legal effort to ensure girls have equal opportunity for school sports, they were totally disregarded while men who said they were women were invited into their locker rooms. Costly wars that threaten our future with no benefit to the American people at all. Crime rampant and out of control in our once beautiful cities. Businesses closing because in many places shoplifting and car theft are no longer even crimes. I could go on but those are at least some of the things that a large majority of voters rejected, but many on the left wail and ask why don’t the people want these things as we do.

He’s “Don” It Again

The headlines in the New York Post on Wednesday read like this, HE’S DON IT AGAIN. Yes he’s done it again this man Donald Trump has completed a historic comeback despite very long odds. His determination, perseverance in the face of such hatred, his strength is rare for anyone especially rare for a 78-year-old man. Viciously attacked from day one of his first term, I suppose because the woke army would not surrender easily. Two attempts to impeach him were political assassination attempts, then two literal assassination attempts, lawfare attacks from corrupt prosecutors, and an extremely corrupt Department of Justice aided by a corrupt FBI. Despite all those persecutions the American people seemed to see through them and stuck with him.

He was facing a long string of legal actions once he decided and announced that he would run again. His enemies mobilized the corrupt, state-owned media and the various government agencies, including the Department of Justice and the FBI in an effort to stop him, but nothing stopped him. His coalition included the reliable Republican base of white men and protestant Christians, but he made significant inroads into traditionally Democrat strongholds as well. Harris could not rely, as democrats always do, on the base of Black men and Hispanics as Trump made strong inroads into both. His efforts among Black Americans and Hispanic Americans apparently made the difference in many cities and states.

A conciliatory address

His remarks in his victory address were words of inclusion and healing. “This was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time. This is a magnificent victory for the American people, that will allow us to make America great again.” He added, “we are going to help our country heal.” I hope and pray that he is correct and the nation can heal. And I hope it can somehow get off the road to war, inflation, bankruptcy and insanity. Do Americans really want to continue the same path down the same direction that leads to more and more war. No, thank God, it appears they do not.

I have my doubts however, because democracy, usually thought of as the highest form of government, sometimes leads to tyranny. It leads to the tyranny of the majority and stamping out of individual rights. It leads to a search for equality which leads to mediocrity instead of excellence. Those are some of the reasons the founders feared democracy and instead built a republic. The Democrats who usually feel they are in the majority, often try to convince us of “our democracy” until sometimes we find ourselves saying it as well.

Doomsday could still approach: the tally of waste

This country has spent somewhere between 6 and 8 trillion on wars that no one seems able to define what they have to do with us. No one can explain why we are still fighting them and no one can find any way for us to get out of them. The title of today’s report reads doomsday averted—for now. By that I mean that we are still involved in wars that have nothing to do with us and could not happen without our aid and support.

Debt continues to pile up at the rate of more than 8 billion plus per day seven days per week. That means that each day more of your tax dollars, the fruits of your labor, must be paid to various creditors than was paid yesterday. Day after day the federal government must finance and refinance more and more debt. It is hard to see how Donald Trump or any other human can make this story end well. There are, however, some hopeful signs and that is one difference this election makes. A Kamala win would have given us no hope but with Trump and the team he has assembled around him, at least there is hope.

Must cut spending

For example, Dr. Ron Paul said recently in one of his Liberty Reports that Elon Musk asked him to help cut 2 trillion from federal spending. Dr. Paul said the last thing I need right now is another job, but I would be willing to help in any way I can. It will be very difficult to cut anything because only about 28% of federal spending is subject to cuts. The other 72% is already committed and already spent. In other words, the federal government is committed, long term, to spending about 2 trillion more each year than it can extract from us.

It is necessary to cut spending if inflation is to be curtailed and our fiscal train is to be kept on the rails a little longer. More spending means more dollars in circulation thus devaluing each one and causing prices to rise. I remain guardedly optimistic that some of the people in Trump’s administration that he has promised that he would allow to oppose deep state interests, will succeed.

Tides in the affairs of men and nation-states

Old friend and economist Bill Bonner doesn’t believe they will succeed because, well, I suppose it’s because Bill is a student of history. He believes the quote from Shakespeare “There are tides in the affairs of men”. He applies that quote to today’s world and concludes that those tides apply in politics as well, powerful currents that have a life of their own. These currents are not driven by what people want or what they think, instead, like an unrelenting river, they carve the valleys, shape the stones, and erode the shorelines of human thought.

This all leads, as Bill sees it, to this conclusion; “And now, in what direction does the water flow? Whatever it is, the president is elected to follow, not to lead. He drifts with the Primary Political Trend; he doesn’t create it.”

Has Trump learned from his doomsday mistakes?

Well Bill’s assessment is dead on what happened in the last Trump administration when he added more debt than any president in history. Will it be different this time? I believe it will, I pray that it will and those around Trump, Robert Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, among others give me reason to hope. I’ll tell you this, at least with Trump we know who the President is. We know that leadership is not in the hands of some unelected, unseen group of people that we don’t even know who they are. No committee will answer the 3am phone call for Donald Trump. Kamala Harris would have removed all hope from this country, but with Trump, we can at least hope that things will improve.

I haven’t said much about war to this point but it is the ultimate doomsday. The participation of the US in other peoples’ struggles and ambitions, which could not happen without U.S. help and encouragement, must stop. Trump has promised many times to stop the wars if elected and now he has been so we will see what happens. It is difficult and perhaps impossible to get the economy under control and headed upward unless the wars are brought under control and headed downward. War is the biggest and most dangerous threat to humanity today because it threatens human existence on a planetary scale. It pleases the globalist depopulation agenda but it does not please most sane people.

Yet more deployments to the Middle East

To prevent any hope of peace from developing, just last Saturday the department of defense announced a new round of expenses and commitments to the Middle East wars. US Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin has ordered the deployment of several additional Arleigh Burke-Class Guided-Missile Destroyers specializing in ballistic missile defense, as well as fighter squadrons, tanker aircraft and B-52 strategic bombers to the Middle East because, well, because tensions are continuing to mount. I suppose it doesn’t occur to any of these people that tensions mount because of US strategic forces deployed to the area, and their actions just pour gasoline on smoldering coals.

Quote from Air Force Major General Patrick Ryder:

Should Iran, its partners, or its proxies use this moment to target American personnel or interests in the region, the United States will take every measure necessary to defend our people.

So, the United States is defending itself and its “interests” from Iran. Its obvious isn’t it that the US is really in this Middle East war to defend Israel and its interests. Why is the U.S. committed to doing it is the question of the day and once again Donald Trump must do something about it but will he. If the world can just hold together for another 75 days until inauguration we will see.

Trump has a mandate to stop this

The American people then, have rejected all those things and have given Trump a mandate to fix them or end them. The news sites are full of stories about the total breakdown of the emotions of Democrats who don’t understand why this happened. They say you wanted cheaper burgers so you voted for fascism. That demonstrates a total lack of understanding of the problem. I don’t mind their weeping though and I will admit to some joy in their lamentations. I look at the weeping of Jocelyn Nungaray’s mother and they cannot compare. Jocelyn was a happy 12-year-old girl in Houston until she was kidnapped, gang raped, tortured, strangled and thrown in a river by five illegals invited in by Kamala and Joe so go ahead and cry. Their cries cannot equal the tears of Laken Riley’s parents since she was raped and murdered by an illegal invited in by Kamala and Joe.

Bernie Sanders is about the only Democrat I’ve heard who was close to being right in his assessment. He said the Democrat Party has abandoned working class people. Bernie is at least partially correct. But he should go one step further and say that the Democrat Party hates working class people. They are much more comfortable around their Hollywood celebrity friends and they seem uncomfortable among ordinary Americans. Many of those celebrity endorsements picked up by Kamala are on Diddy’s party list and with her defeat I imagine they are quite nervous.

Don’t hire the neocons

I’m not suggesting that Trump behave as a Ceasar or Mongol king driving his enemies before him and enjoying the lamentations of their women. That would make him just what the Democrat lies say he is. I am suggesting that he make this mandate a complete victory because it is perhaps the last chance to defeat the deep state and their globalist ambitions. The deciding question is who will serve in key positions in his administration. I hope and pray that no neocon names emerge. We cannot tolerate a repeat of 2016 but with Kennedy, Gabbard and Musk and the assurances he must have given them I believe it will be different this time.

I could do an entire Castle Report on the overwhelming evidence that now exists that Kennedy is right about the link between childhood vaccinations and autism as well as other chronic diseases. The evidence, long suppressed by the U.S. Government in conjunction with big Pharma, is now pouring out. Yes, the rats are running for their holes now that the lights are being turned on.

Finally, folks, almost everything government does is evil, stupid and the opposite of the right thing. The people have given Donald Trump a cutting torch and a mandate to use it. Time will tell if he knows how.

At least that’s the way I see it.

Until next time folks,

This is Darrell Castle.
