With a look at the Ultimate Swindler of the day – Orange Jesus

9 out of 10

 

 

The Swindle is a fabulous film directed by the unforgettable Federico Fellini, the one who gave audiences La Dolce Vita https://realini.blogspot.com/2017/03/note-on-la-dolce-vita-written-and.html and quite a few other masterpieces, that are included on the New York Times’ best movies list and on other prestigious publications

 

A group of three men have no shame in exploiting the gullible, poor, ignorant, as Augusto Rocco aka Broderick Crawford says ‘he can sell ice to the eskimo’, only his talent to convince people is not used in legitimate ways, by charming them into buying vacuum cleaners say, but to give him money for his frauds

Which brings me to the present day Confidence Man  https://realini.blogspot.com/2023/09/confidence-man-making-of-donald-trump.html the one that has been sentenced for fraud recently, and he has to pay over half a billion dollars (part of it for defamation and other wrongs) money that he does not have, in spite of being such a braggadocio

 

This Orange Jesus (that is what republican leaders had taken to calling the con man) is a million times worse than what we see in this film, because he had managed to fool over seventy million people (and that is just America for you, he has fans all over the place, including at our sauna Downtown, God damn it)

Orange Jesus is infamous for his way of swindling out of paying for, well, anything, and in the latest court case, they have proved how he inflated the price for the assets, claiming his own flat was three times bigger than in reality, and when it came to paying taxes, he would of course pretend the opposite, that he has nothing

 

Which in his twisted, crazy mind makes him ‘smart’, that is what he pretended in the debate with Hilary Clinton (one million times better than this idiot) when she told him he does not pay taxes, he showed off his ‘smartness’, and at the same time (well, some time later) he said that he ‘encourages Russia to do whatever the hell it wants’

For those who are ‘delinquent’ aka they did not pay (tell me, why should this clown avoid paying his dues, and others be made to do it) which is not the way it works, as Seth Meyers explained https://realini.blogspot.com/2018/02/a-closer-look-by-seth-meyers.html on his superb A Closer Look Show

He acts as if he is a Mafia boss, which Orange Jesus is, in some ways, the GOP used to be a respectable beano, but it is now a lousy outfit, led by the likes of Marjorie Taylor Green and her idiotic claims (such as the Jewish space lasers that cause forest fires) and that other Bobert apparition, with the sexual inuendo on the first date, in public…

 

It is a disgrace, no longer a model for those of us who used to live in the wild, in the aspiring democracies, looking at what this party does is disgusting- they have had some interviews where the members of the cult were saying about Russia ‘it is not our enemy’, and when told that Putin has killed so many…

The answer was ‘it is not my problem’, we could see this on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, and there are millions of those morons, who have selected the Ultimate Swindler as their Messiah, a crazy fool, with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, who compared himself with Alexey Navalny recently, which is again so abominable

 

Alexey Navalny https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2024/02/oscar-winner-navalny.html is now a martyr, killed by the tyrant that Orange Jesus admires, after he had been sent to a penal colony, at the Arctic Circle, because he had dared to talk against corruption, the fear that has been imposed on the Russian people…

The would-be czar had tried military grade poison gas, Novichok, and after he returned from treatment, from a coma, the leader of the opposition was arrested, sentenced on trumped up charges, and then eliminated, which is the way of this merciless, horrible despot, and what we have as reaction from Orange Jesus…nothing!

 

Orange Jesus does not blame Putin, did not even mention him, instead, he compares his troubles with the justice system, caused by the insurrection he had provoked, trying to be a tyrant himself, and annul the elections, then the boxes with documents he took and placed in the toilet, on a stage and all over and more…

The idiot showed the war plans to attack Iran (in case it is needed) and talked about nuclear submarines, and traitor as he is, instead of rotting in jail, he is given a pass by…the Supreme Court – true, it is just those ghouls he picked and the others that are calamitous, say the guy who takes exorbitant gifts from billionaires

 

When they had to take decisions that helped Trump, those Kavanaghs and the like they jumped to his defense, just like in the latest example of a fraudulent scheme, he claims to have ‘immunity’, and one judge has asked about Orange Jesus ordering the execution of a political opponent, if it is all right for the ghoul to do it

And the answer is yes, he can, he will not be punished, unless he is impeached by the senate (and we all know how that went the last two times), in other words, this swindler will start from next year, if he is elected, and he has a good chance, to sell arms – you want missiles for Ukraine, you have to give a billion to Orange Jesus, in his personal account, why not, he is immune and willing to profit, it is a mad scenario, but then so is what is happening over there

 

Now for my standard closing of the note with a question, and invitation – maybe you have a good idea on how we could make more than a million dollars with this http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/02/unique-in-world.html?q=unique+in+the+world – as it is, this is a unique technique, which we could promote, sell, open the Oscars show with or something and then make lots of money together, if you have the how, I have the product, I just do not know how to get the befits from it, other than the exercise per se

 

 There is also the small matter of working for AT&T – this huge company asked me to be its Representative for Romania and Bulgaria, on the Calling Card side, which meant sailing into the Black Sea wo meet the US Navy ships, travelling to Sofia, a lot of activity, using my mother’s two bedrooms flat as office and warehouse, all for the grand total of $250, raised after a lot of persuasion to the staggering $400…with retirement ahead, there are no benefits, nothing…it is a longer story, but if you can help get the mastodont to pay some dues, or have an idea how it can happen, let me know

 

As for my role in the Revolution that killed Ceausescu, a smaller Mao, there it is http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/03/realini-in-newsweek-participant-in.html

 

Some favorite quotes from To The Hermitage and other works

 

‘Fiction is infinitely preferable to real life...As long as you avoid the books of Kafka or Beckett, the everlasting plot of fiction has fewer futile experiences than the careless plot of reality...Fiction's people are fuller, deeper, cleverer, more moving than those in real life…Its actions are more intricate, illuminating, noble, profound…There are many more dramas, climaxes, romantic fulfillment, twists, turns, gratified resolutions…Unlike reality, all of this you can experience without leaving the house or even getting out of bed…What's more, books are a form of intelligent human greatness, as stories are a higher order of sense…As random life is to destiny, so stories are to great authors, who provided us with some of the highest pleasures and the most wonderful mystifications we can find…Few stories are greater than Anna Karenina, that wise epic by an often foolish author…’

 

‚Parturiunt montes, nascetur ridiculus mus’

 

“From Monty Python - The Meaning of Life...Well, it's nothing very special...Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.”
