  1. It is known that Trump has a special admiration for senior advisor Steven Miller. It's hardly a secret that Mr Miller is a friend of Dorothy which leads to all kinds of speculation. He has been described as the most pro-gay president. What is well known is that Trump displays a peculiar type of intra rejection (self-contempt). I've already covered his extraordinary habit of projection, traits related to his inferior and rejected self, we might cite these as refusals to acknowledge aspects of himself. We call attention to his so called nobility and his superiority. As far as we can trace back his ancestors were born of lowly stock, peasants and draft dodgers. Among his family several members are mentally retarded, one feeble minded. There is little genetic superiority to cry about, yet he openly supports the white supremacist movement. We shouldn't ignore that Trump is enormously talented. His talent: * He fully appreciates the need to gain the support of the masses by any means necessary. And he is very, very good at this. * Recognition of the inestimable value of winning the support of the youth. * An acute identification and perverse understanding of the deepest longings of the average American and the ability to give a passionate uplifting response to these longings. * An extraordinary ability to rouse the most primitive, ideal sentiments in man - to arouse the most basest instincts and yet cloak them with nobility and thereby justifying all actions as a means to a goal. This is only a start and I'll get onto it, there are at least a dozen more. The general point is don't underestimate him. It's not particularly ethical to use my training like this. There's an overwhelming need for people to gain insight into his character, what motivates him. That overrides all else; excepting the banjo of course.
  2. Hey Cav, just thought I'd give you a hand with your banjo practise. Still no word on this, I expect you are studying the banjo with some gusto. Hey you do it man.
  3. I am an American citizen. You can't just repeatedly say I'm not. It's rather childish to keep harping on the same point, when I've explained multiple times. Also classic projection - you my friend have mental issues, I've shown concern about this in a very recent post. I don't consider myself American because I don't. I'm a man of the world. The reason I'm unwilling to explain myself to you is that you are a cheap person. I mean cheap in the same sense as contemptible - however cheap just seems to fit the bill better. Now one thing I can confidently say is that you will be a virtuoso on the banjo. So let's let all this water under the bridge and fix a date for the duel. I suspect you've taken time off posting to practise.
  4. I love it. I'm all but tying my hands behind my back, providing you with talking points and *I* am way over my ahhh, brain capacity. Not quite how I would have put it. Do you know where you are? Or who you are even? You are mysteriously silent on the banjo duel. Are you feverishly practising? I hope so because this banjo has your name on it. It will be a banjo duel to end all duels.
  5. This may cause you further mental breakdown. I am a US citizen. Is Melania Trump a US citizen? I ask this in concern for you - are you quite alright? You don't appear to be. I mean you seem to be rather upset out of all proportion to anything I've really said. Mind that playing the banjo can also be therapeutic. Can we fix a date?
  6. Also Cav, if you've got nothing to say for yourself, please lay off the rampant posting of videos with no comment. It's fairly obnoxious. Or at least provide a short synopsis of why you feel the video is important. If you put so much effort into practising the banjo I wouldn't feel so much of a need to handicap myself. But go Cav, lift yourself up, you can do it man. You're struggling, so let me provide some pointers. You should keep reiterating that Trump is a self made man. An Ann Randian type figure that shrugged off the weight of the world to restore dignity and prosperity to the ailing USA. He came from nothing and selflessly took the mantle where he's being unfairly criticized by people jealous of his success. Well that should be enough to keep you going for a bit at least. We'll got onto the subtleties in a bit. In the meantime, don't forget the banjo, I'm a coming for ya.
  7. Well I'm not American. I was born in Australia. But I didn't even grow up there. I do have an American passport which I explained was sponsored by the work I do. I can vote, buy real estate, corrupt politicians - whatever I damn well like as a US citizen. Which is why I feel it a duty to push back against cretins like you. Now I hope you've been practising your banjo, because I'm pretty damn good boy.
  8. Yeah, thanks Coss, I expected as much. I thought it must be a genetic thing - the rise again of the eugenic wars! I mean it is an incredibly flattering thing to be targeted like this, but also incredibly creepy. Now that you mention it I've had these kind of proposals in the past. A Thai mother gave me a photo of her teenage daughter, her phone number and even made a forced phone call while I was there. She said I could have her for 'free'. When I showed the photo to my wife she was furious tearing it up and throwing it in the bin, even stamping her foot, saying she knew her from school, but it allowed my wife's mother and I to bond because we both were nearly paralysed with laughter at her over the top reaction. I don't seem to age much. I'm Scandinavian in origin and a fairly striking one. If you saw me at an AA meeting you'd be asking asking yourself - what the hell has this man been abusing - wood? I once had a doctor tell me quite candidly, 'Don't take this the wrong way, but you should have been dead twenty years ago'. Owing to my mammoth alcohol intake. I'll drink a pint of scotch with my steak and eggs for breakfast. And that's just to start the day going. Can you believe Prince William is only 37 for christ's sake. He looks fifty at least, and that's after living in the very lap of luxury his entire life. The royals try to buy in a brood mare, but Princess Di was even more inbred then the rest of 'em. It's why I like the bastard Harry - ever wonder why he doesn't look a thing like William? Hmmm.
  9. Do you know those cymbal smashing toga wearing mishaps that clog up the streets and cook the most amazing vegetarian food? I met her on the corner in the city. I was studying medicine at the time. She pressed this book into my chest and pleaded with me to read it. What the hell? She was a good looking girl, but she was so anemic and pale and she was clinging on to my arm. I paid her $10 for her book which I threw in a rubbish bin at the first opportunity, but I kept her phone number - I don't know why. We talked a lot on the phone, mostly about how she wanted me to become a hare krishna. I was of course rather intrigued by this. Why did this poorly girl wish to influence me? It didn't make sense. That's when I decided enough was enough, she clearly needed iron, but more importantly she required a new outlook on life. I introduced her to some friends and she never looked back. She practically raped me, I kept asking her to leave me alone. Along came her girlfriends from the temple. It was an orgy. All these girls on the bed, I couldn't get any peace. I still mind the time I was talking to my boss and a worker came in and said holy hell was that girl you were with your girlfriend? Man she was fucking hot. Looking back the boss was incredibly impressed by this. It made me wonder though, maybe I did take her for granted. You see it's difficult - I'll always see that weak anemic girl thrusting her only hope of a book into my chest, and correcting her balance by clinging on to my arm. I didn't love her, I felt sorry for her. I preferred Thailand, it just seemed more honourable somehow. I'm a extremely curious person. I can mimic people perfectly. A challenge if you will. I pick up language like you wouldn't believe. I'm hyper aware, I'm the quiet man who sits there but takes in absolutely everything. I did find love against all the odds. My wife is my match. She can speak multiple languages. More to the point she often corrects me, in brutal Thai. I in turn get her running from the room by mimicking her Mother. We both laugh and make up. She's an equal, she owns a large part of Isaan, and I own a lot of Australia. The Hare Krishna girl texted me today. What should I do?
  10. Hey Cav, come back! I promise I'll take it easy on you - getting schooled isn't something I imagine you wish to repeat. You're not watching Deliverance are you? You might want to practise the banjo though. LOL.
  11. Don't be so down hearted. Your comments about the youth, well they can be mobilised. They just need a leader. Also, once Trump is gone either by 'suicide', or house arrest, you'd be very surprised just how quickly this febrile atmosphere will evaporate. I'm kind of preempting a post I'm working on so I'll say no more. There is so much potential in America. I am a citizen sponsored for work reasons. So yeah I've got a vote, but more - I've got a vision for America. All this disrepair, the state of decline - it can all be turned around; we can take a broom and start tidying this place up, it's not hopeless like you suggest, most Americans are on board. We can get engineers to assess the nation's infrastructure and triage it. We can set about making this place a better to place to live. It's not as hopeless as you suggest, it's all eminently possible. Don't worry, it's all in hand. When I said I could have written the playbook, for once I wasn't joking. It *is* going to be an exciting twenty years, so stick around.
  12. I applaud your passion, but also your awareness. You may wish to review my decline of the USA thread over in the board bar. The reason allies no longer trust America is that you're seen as unreliable. This isn't just Trump it's more a general thing. Not looking out for your own people is reviled in most places in the world. Since we are on a Thai forum, lets use a Thai example. I developed a fever and a painful tropical boil behind my ear. My wife took me to the local clinic and over about two weeks, every day it was lanced and bandaged up and I was given antibiotics, analgesics, gauze pads etc. And never once was I asked to pay one single satang. The very first thing Trump attempted to do was remove the very small foothold that Obama had managed to gain on health care. He didn't manage to do it - but if you work in the health industry - this reverberated around the world. It wasn't that it was incredibly callous, ripping people from dialysis machines, it wasn't even that it was cruel - it was the cold calculation behind it - that's what shocked the rest of the world. The richest country on earth and yet you are willing to do this to your own people? I'm not overly sentimental, but that just blew me away.
  13. Of course I could have easily written the playbook you are using. In fact I mind writing something like that in a blackout and burnt it when I sobered up. Just think of what I could do if I chose to? I don't make any excuse for being extremely competent. Why should I? If you fear me - well you should. Because I rely on science and truth. Good luck trying to disprove that. There's a deeper reason to why you should fear me. I play a mean banjo, I propose a duel.
  14. Trump's overriding preoccupation is with craving for *superiority coming out of unbearable feelings of inferiority*. This is expressed through wounded narcism. There was a pattern of failure in his early life: * He failed to meet the expectations of his father, a man he worshiped * He failed to record any type of academic success, despite being bankrolled and virtually guaranteed it. * His sexual inferiority, unable to have a meaningful relationship with a woman owing to his hatred of his own mother. * His very own father rejected him, leading to a desire for supra filiation. He was literally an outsider looking in, all those people carousing, having the time of their lives, he had wealth, all the opportunity, but watching people enjoying themselves when he was incredibly miserable, it just couldn't be borne. I'll get onto what will be the denouement, I think you'll be surprised. Yes we know the man is sick. But it's important to analyse this. You might think that this doesn't matter - but we need to shine light on this. If you don't agree with me - well speak up!
  15. I think I've got the gist of what you said, although I did have to parse it. Not that it's any of your business, but I am an American citizen. Partly why I feel a duty to reply to people like you.
  16. Ahhhhh, so now your onto the 'stealing valour' part of the playbook. Do you ever have an original idea for your self? I know it must be difficult, much easier to follow a playbook that was created by people more clever than yourself. And where is the valour? I don't see it. Invading poor countries for whimsical reasons isn't particularly heroic or courageous. Getting your arse (sorry your ass) kicked by people that are barely out of the medieval stage is embarrassing. If my 'ramblings' are BS then go and shoot them down - because you are unable to are you not? How dare you dial up the playbook, and accuse me of stolen valour? I had hoped your were playing devil's advocate. This isn't even a fair game - you can't even put together a comprehensible sentence. How about this - I'll handicap myself by getting myself by sculling two pints of whiskey with a rum chaser. Well I was going to anyway, still an excuse near to hand is welcome, lol. Now bear in mind this is the 'USA thread'. So welcome, and stay on point.
  17. Also don't worry too much, being schooled by Panadol is the least of your problems.
  18. I presume this is aimed at me. Sorry if I'm mistaken. There is unfortunately as you say a plethora of people that claim to be somehow medically qualified. I myself having worked in the UK and Australia am addressed by the title of Mr - just like you. This is owing to my work as a surgeon - it's a long story. I don't claim to be a hero or anything like that. It's a job. But it is a job where people die and unfortunately I'm not inoculated against that. But I'm strong, strong enough to care. I do take extended leave. I've made more than enough money to easily travel the world for the rest of my life in luxury. I'm sorry because this is going to sound incredibly arrogant - I keep working because I feel it would be a waste to do otherwise. I started out to help people, and that hasn't changed. It will never change. Reading what you have to say, I wonder what your motivations are? You seem to be putting yourself to a task that is unconscionable. A travail, an agony that is torturous. I genuinely feel sorry for you. To be a fool is hard enough. But to be a fool's fool so to speak is rabid madness.
  19. I must admit, I've had a hell of a lot of fun from this thread. I'm listening to the Rocky IV soundtrack as I write this. 'There's no easy way out!, I'm like a stranger in a no name town. Where's the shortcut? God the realisation that this guy lingered in torment but he was ultimately deterred because he didn't want to make her angry. Or 'Burning Heart', two worlds collide. 'In the warrior's code there's no surrender' - it's the paradox that kills! These lyrics are gold. This is Americana. What America doesn't understand is that this flag waving patriotism is kind of insulting to the rest of the world - like in your face kind of rude. We tolerate it much like we tolerate an uncouth person by pretending we don't notice their trespass. I was completely taken aback when Trump made his address to the UN, much like he'd do a rally campaign in Kansas City Missouri. The German delegation openly laughed in his face. This *was* a historical moment. The President of the USA being openly mocked by a UN assembly. There is no taking that back. It's an irrevocable stain on the US, your leader is now open to international mockery. And it is now widely recognized that he doesn't care - in fact if he wasn't seen as so unreliable by the rest of the world, they'd happily wind him around their little finger.
  20. Trump isn't unprecedented, far from it. In fact the parallels with Reagan are rather disturbing in how similar they are. Reagan was a bald faced pathological liar, a raving bloodthirsty megalomaniac. The invasion of the sovereign country Grenada was simply gob-smacking. The whole world was shocked and the US was denounced. He pioneered the whole not going to congress to ask permission to make war. A blood thirsty maniac he funded the contra in Nicaragua by selling arms to Iran which was under an embargo. He was literally frothing at the mouth, introduced the so called 'war on drugs'. It's widely known he was in an advanced state of dementia by the 3rd year of his first term. He was often confused and bewildered and had to be carefully stage managed in his public appearances. Does any of this sound familiar to you? Or take George W Bush. Cheney, Rove and crew somehow managed to prop this guy up - as Matt Tabbai says - it was the equivalent of getting a donkey to play the Waldstein sonata. It really is breathtaking when you think about it. ' If you could somehow run simulations where Bush was repeatedly shipwrecked on a desert island with 20 other adults chosen at random, he would be the last person listened to by the group every single time. He knew absolutely nothing about anything. He wouldn’t have been able to make fire, find water, build shelter or raise morale. It would have taken him days to get over the shock of no room service.' Asked by a child what his favourite book was when growing up, Bush replied, 'I can't remember any specific books'. Wait a second here - he doesn't read? Or like any politician have enough wits about him to even name a children's book? Who the hell is this guy - a fucking moron? And isn't this familiar? There is half - serious speculation that Trump can't actually read. But yeah none of this is new. And it's true, you can't blame Trump for everything, he's just from a long line of succession of idiots. Like a Kabuki, you have to wonder what's going on behind the curtain.
  21. Regarding the South let's just say we'll agree to disagree. If as you say that cotton and tobacco, or sugar cane was so important, why couldn't it be run with paid labour? Which the rest of the world had moved on to largely. It was the agitators and trouble makers that didn't want their super profits garnished. These were the people that should have been hanged. The Southern leadership were parasites and they could easily have been swept away and replaced by Northern leadership. The South wasn't a foreign country like Japan or Germany. The first thing you do when you take over is you remove the executive - and this was definitively not done. Instead Jim Crow was allowed to flourish and the loophole in the 13th amendment saying you could enslave criminals was widely abused. Just another version of slavery. Black people getting arrested for 'vagrancy' and if anything it got worse then before. On the chain gang your estimated life span was between 6 to 9 months. Whilst I admire your confidence in the youth and I agree with your sentiments, I've often thought the same thing. I grew up in a wealthy country and with one of the best education systems in the world. I attained my dream of my chosen profession. I own a very nice house in a leafy suburb and if I chose to do so, I'd never have to work another day of my life. But kids these days are so downtrodden they don't even see the point in voting. Yes they want all the things you list - in fact most Americans want what you list - I think 75% of Americans in one poll said they wanted Universal Healthcare. Something seen as so complicated and impossible. The youth aren't stupid, they can virtually throw a stone over the Canadian border and they've got it - why can't we? they ask themselves. In fact the youth are so depressed that even owning a house in a nice leafy suburb is just an unattainable dream. Working two or three poorly paid jobs to make rent is their concern, with a handful of pennies to buy overpriced food, most likely the fast food kind. It's tempting to give up on America. When I travel through Europe I admire the efficiency, the great care put into designing infrastructure, the brilliant public transport. When I land in JFK as the taxi takes me into the city I can't help but start redesigning the entire place, the very potential it has. It would be so easy to remove a lot of the ugliness, to rejuvenate the place, to get some work crews to clean up the god damned rubble and do something about this depressing mess. There is so much low hanging fruit that a genuine leader could snatch to improve the place.
  22. At the end of the civil war they should of hanged all the South's leaders - there should have been a massive purge, confiscating property and punishing anyone severely who dared disobey the rule of law. The British were masters at this - they would have tracked down the trouble makers with dizzying speed and left the fear of God in the people who remained. Instead they treated the South leadership with kid gloves. Granted them all kinds of concessions. Hell as recently as last year people were still debating about whether to remove Confederate statues from public parks. It is an example of what a failure it was that they were built in the first place. To address your first question the answer is propaganda and demagoguery. Trump pushes all the right buttons. Like or not, America is a deeply racist society. When manufacturing was moved offshore or to Mexico a lot of good ole boys were put out to pasture - and that has stuck in their craw ever since. Just look at Detroit, the former heartland of the automotive industry, motor city. In 2013 the city filed for bankruptcy owing about 20 billion dollars. The factories were left to rust - there was no effort to retool them for another industry, such as high speed rail which America desperately needs - the leadership and more importantly the will just didn't exist. The disenfranchised cast around for blame and they see immigrants coming and working hard (jobs they would never do of course) and they moan about having their jobs stolen. Along comes a con man promising them he's going to restore their pride, their lucrative jobs, build a game of thrones style wall to keep the nasty immigrants out, and make America great again. All lies of course, what became of the wall? Why hasn't Mexico paid for it? Where is all this new industry? What happened to all this massive infrastructure spending? Expect to see more incidences of crumbling infrastructure that hasn't been maintained, like the New Orleans levees, or the recent Oroville dam crisis which resulted in evacuating 180,000 people and fortunately could have been a lot worse. All this infrastructure isn't being inspected let alone maintained. America is spending hand over fist on their military, and the stupid fucking wall, when they can't afford to even maintain a bridge. It boggles the mind. I'll get onto how he survives where others fall, it will make an interesting post of its own.
  23. Without going into the sentiments and drives of the man that is the President of the USA, there is a clear clash between his conscious and unconscious life. As a rule you don't set out to demonstrate the rather discerning details of a person's ego. But Trump has displayed a clear *orienting thema* . In Trump's case it is not expedient to make a distinction between the major configurations of overt drives and sentiments and the orienting thema - he is explicit in word and deed and thus is consistent and is of a relatively consistent and obvious type. By far the most common form of defense mechanism is that of projection. This works in the service of self esteem, in blinding him to his inferiority. It is simply unprecedented, how often it is used and the intensity of it. It operates so promptly and consistently, indeed by paying close attention to the objects that Trump scorns and condemns one gets a fairly accurate and comprehensive view of his own id. Perhaps most perplexing is that he has consciously adopted and furthered what was no doubt a purely unconscious mechanism. He has many pathologies: * Insult as stimulus * Compulsive criminality * Contempt for himself - something he is largely unconscious of and more conspicuously are his superiority feelings. It is a characteristic of the proud counteractive personality that his energies are not engaged unless he has been insulted or injured - or imagined to have been belittled in some way. Berating and snubbing a 15 year old girl is a fairly extreme example of this. I will further this analysis in further posts - Yes I'm a highly qualified doctor; I'm also a highly competent judge of character.
