Political parody or truth?

God gathered all the kings and presidents of countries with claims. Everyone should share their pain and make one request of him. 

 God, I am the greatest president of America, at least according to the Western media. I can't afford to let Americans sleep peacefully. Imagine if the Indians decided to expel us from their lands. After all, the greediest people on the planet came here. That's why every American sleeps with a gun. I can't not be friends with Putin. With our ally Russia, we divided Europe at the time. Instead of us using them, they want to use us. I can't leave the Arabs alone. They can take the power of the petrodollar. This is our strongest factory. We just print paper labeled "dollar," and the whole world wants to own it. They give us their goods for that paper. Then we trick them into buying a bond. And so we're rich again. Everyone expects to become rich someday. And they don't focus on modernizing their country. I may criticize China, but without their supply of goods, we would lack even basic items such as flip-flops. That's why I only advertise weapons and nothing else. That's all these people are afraid of. God, make me the richest man on earth. And let some crazy president of another country not throw us a bomb that we sold him. Long live America. 

I am the master of the largest country. I do whatever I want. After all, most of the resources are in our country. All wars are for land and resources. I have to protect them at all costs. However, they label us as evil because other politicians face their own internal issues and disassociate themselves from me. In the end, everyone will pray to me again. They started making alliances against me. They think I want to obtain my old borders back. Back in the day, Churchill pushed this idea of dividing Europe on us. I would rather not carry many watermelons under my arm. I want them to serve me from afar, not to nag at me. I don't want to go bankrupt because of them. As long as there is plenty of vodka for my people, I don't want anything else.

  I am the strongest Jew on earth. I am looking for answers. The Egyptians persecuted us for what? The Romans persecuted us for what? The Inquisition persecuted us for what? Hitler persecuted us for what? Hopefully, it's not because of a few smart people like me. I have proven how fearless I am. Will what I have done stop them from persecuting us, or will it get worse? Will ordinary Jews suffer for me? Will they make me the messiah? Lord, make me the messiah.

God, forgive us. I am an Arab king. We are not guilty. We hide behind religion and use it as we please. Yes, we deny power and rights to women. Christians had their Martin Luther. But we do not have one. Ataturk succeeded but only in Asia Minor. It is beneficial that it did not spread elsewhere. The oil barons put us in these positions, and we do our job. The important thing is that we live in prosperity. Why worry about ordinary people? It is better for them to envy us than for us to envy some other Arab. Do not disturb our peace, Lord.

I lived to become a king. After all, I am the king of the British Commonwealth. Being the head of so many countries is not simple. I speak English; my family has spoken English for two hundred years. We have taught half the world to speak English. If I could, I would make our own royal religion. That way, it will be easier for people to communicate and pray. At least they will understand each other, and they will not be divided into different gods. The gods themselves are not different; rather, they sound different in various languages. Everyone who is in power adjusts it according to his own rules. We have the most prepared politicians, and they play with others as they want. They always do that; other politicians are to blame for our mistakes. Hopefully soon, I will not have to order my generals to draw new borders for the countries. God, let me live out my old age in peace.

God, I am a materialist. But I don't know what to do. Are those from the West so hungry? They come wanting gunpowder—we give it to them. They come wanting paper and thousands of other things. We even showed them how to use paper money. We have been discovering whatever we can think of for 5000 years. We somehow pass it on to other earthlings. They have no satiety. And they accuse us of stealing their technology. Nothing is stolen; our people there are inventing it themselves. They want a better climate, so we provide them with wind generators and solar panels. They want autonomous cars, so we manufacture them. Again dissatisfied. They accuse us of wanting to become hegemons. We have been hegemons for 5000 years, but we say nothing; we listen and watch. We have constructed a stone wall to ensure our safety. We can't stop them. We should build a laser wall. I will be angry, and I will not let anything out of China for a year. Let them learn to work somewhat. They have become very lazy. We are not interested in their excessive demands. If they want to provide us with the raw materials, we can and will do so. Now, we'll have to deliver millions of robots to them. To work for them. Soon interstellar ships will want us to build them to go back from where they came. Lord, let them not bother us. Because teasing the dragon by the tail is an unwise thing to do.

Lord, I am the president of the Indian people. The smartest, but the most corrupt. How can I unite them, as everyone believes in different gods? We can't become rich, but we teach many to be doctors, which the world needs. We are also the most creative, and we manage the best companies, but we do not help each other. At least violence doesn't force our religions upon us. But in reality we are the richest because we have the most children. Lord, somehow limit corruption in the country so that the way of life of the lowest caste can improve.

I am the president of Switzerland. Everyone envies us because we are very liberal. Everyone says we are the richest. Everyone says we are the best place to live. In most cases, this is true. But there is one thing that others do not know. We live well, but not peacefully. People from all over the world entrust us with their money. We are afraid that one day a greedy president will attack us and steal the gold that everyone has entrusted to us for safekeeping. May God protect us from such greedy presidents or kings.

I am the emperor of Japan. Everyone considers us the smartest and most creative. This statement refers to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. We really achieved a lot in a short time. We even became the richest. I think this is due to the mutation from the bombs. Thus far, everything has been satisfactory. But after the 80s, we started to fall into debt. And now we are the most indebted country. I think the bombs are to blame. There is another problem. Our population has started to live over a hundred years. I think it is due to the bombs. God help us. Others should not believe that it is peaceful here, that there are no earthquakes, and that we live a tranquil life. Longevity depends on this perception, which is why people are beginning to move here. Our island barely provides enough resources for our needs.

God, I am your favorite Korean. I have all sorts of titles. I know you treat me like the greatest man on earth. Europeans call themselves developed countries, but they are full of problems and obligations. Arabs brag that women don't recognize them as people. I don't recognize anyone but myself. Africa is rich in resources, yet widespread violence among its people has resulted in persistent poverty. Latin Americans and Africans differ in that Africans kill each other, but crime is rampant in both regions. Debt burdens the so-called rich and democratic Americans, who often sleep with guns under their pillows. The Russians and the Chinese consider themselves allies; however, they offer me no assistance whatsoever. But if some stupid president or king angers me, I will not forgive anyone. I will wipe them off the face of the earth. My request is. Currently, the daily ration of one of my slaves is 700 grams of corn or rice. If I make it 800 grams, won't they get rich and challenge my divine personhood?

God, I am the president of Turkey. I wanted to be part of Europe; they don't want us. I wanted to strengthen the Arab League, but they won't give us leadership because we are perceived as less religious and we have given women rights. I stopped terrorist attacks in our country; they hate me. I am trying to stop corruption; they accuse me of obstructing the opposition. Despite my efforts to act as a mediator between the West and the East, I face negative perceptions. I can't please anyone. God, how can I become good in the eyes of these people?

I am officially the strongest man in Europe. We are the most intelligent, and we are trying to unite. But nationalism is resurgent. After two thousand years of struggle, we had the opportunity to do something wonderful. Our population is decreasing. We need people to look after our elderly parents. However, we only welcome foreigners if they help us become champions and bring us medals; otherwise, we do not want them. We set standards for social life and morality, but we don't get along. However, if we part ways, it will not be long before we resume our conflicts and turn against one another once more. Soon, we will robotize jobs and create a basic income per person. We may have to nationalize factories so that the profits can go to these expenses. So are we going to become capitalist communism or social capitalism? Could you please provide some new terminology for this system to help us avoid any misunderstandings?

I am officially the most powerful person on earth. I head the United Nations. But most of the arrogant politicians prevent me from doing my job. The politicians of all countries complicate, rather than solve, people's problems. This is done to make the people believe that they require their assistance. They only transfer the problems from one party to another. This approach blurs the public's perspective, incites conflict among them, and allows politicians to profit at their expense. But in the past 20 years, life has changed a lot, and people see on social networks what is happening. One day, all the people will simply lynch the politicians. Half of the world still does not have clean water. Over a billion people still go to bed hungry. Politicians ignore these issues by funding projects that not only fail to benefit the people but also exploit them. They discuss new technologies that do not help people's needs but increase the cost of energy. These technologies need a lot of energy, which raises their price, and thus everything else becomes more expensive. Everyone spends money on initiatives that neither improve water quality nor increase food production. What is the effect of having many weapons and no food?

There are many narcissistic politicians who can set humanity back five thousand years or possibly worse. They only measure their narcissism by who is a military force or rich in gold, and so on. Help us, God, the voter, not to vote only for these simple heads who only promise meaningless things. 

Do politicians really work for the needs of society? Or do they use politics for their own benefit and to satisfy their egos? Why hasn't anything changed for so long?

Need for an international military organization

I recently watched a clip. In the clip, a university professor questions his students about the definition and purpose of law. One student answers ‘to have order and discipline in the country,’ and another answers ‘to make the system work better.’ There were quite a few answers. When one student answered, ‘For justice.’ Then the professor interrupted her response and told the student to leave the hall and never return to his lectures. Everyone was silent. He said he was serious, and she really left the hall. Immediately thereafter, the professor turned to the audience and asked a question. ‘Was I fair with what I did?’. Some students still responded that the student had done nothing wrong and did not deserve the treatment she received. Then the professor said, ‘Then why didn’t any of you stand up to stop what happened in the hall? Why didn’t you immediately stand up for her? Because you were not affected, and when it didn’t concern you, you were silent. What is the probability that such an incident will happen to you tomorrow? Everyone was silent. Now it comes to my mind. For example, our neighbor's house is on fire, and I watch as the owners struggle to put out the fire and save what's left. I don't take any measures to help them. I hope that the fire doesn't spread to my property. But let's assume that the wind gets stronger, and by some chance, the fire spreads, and my house starts burning. What are the consequences? The consequences would be significant for both my neighbor and me. Let's increase the scope somewhat, assuming that the issue is a war in a neighboring country. With a small spark, it becomes horror. So it's beneficial for a person to think somewhat about their actions. No one is insured or immune from such events. I am uncertain about my role in a war, as there are always opposing perspectives. When two people fight, the third one either wins or, in most cases, loses. This is due to the constant presence of bystanders, each of whom draws different conclusions based on their unique perspective. But whether they are right in their assessment is controversial. Therefore, it is imperative to establish an international organization under the command of the United Nations organization with universal authorization to intervene in such cases. When the whole world is against you, you have no chance for injustices to happen. That's my opinion. But politicians for the last hundred years have been thinking of politics as a goal for wealth and power, not for making people's lives better. In the last 30–40 years, all countries have become more autocratic than democratic. The military industry now receives more emphasis than efforts to improve people's lives. Therefore, nothing new has emerged. History has not taught us anything and is repeating itself with different characters.

I allow myself to write a few quotes from Immanuel Kant

No state at war with another should allow itself to engage in such military actions as would make mutual confidence in future peace impossible, such as the use of assassins (percussores), poisoners (venefici), breach of capitulation, incitement to treason (perduellio) in the belligerent state, etc.”

Law should never be adapted to politics, but politics should always be adapted to law. All politics must kneel before law.

The law that lives within us is called conscience. Conscience itself is the bringing of our actions into conformity with this law.

Provide a man everything he wants, and he will immediately feel that the majority is not all.

If justice perishes, human life will no longer have any value.

Everyone is obliged to recognize the human dignity of every person

 

Politicians' Obsession is People's Suffering

I don't feel like writing about this topic at all, but the whole world is just commenting. A politician has instigated this chaos. His words, "Nothing personal, just business," in the interest of the truth, are my favorite. Since his election, he has overestimated his abilities. If it were a TV show, I'm sure it would be the most watched. But doing politics involves making choices for a better life for people. Let's start with his positive statements. He openly acknowledged topics that were considered taboo for ordinary people. He made shocking threats against other countries and those in close proximity. At the very least, he demonstrated that the words "democratic state" concealed nothing but manipulation. People have always been divided for as long as humanity can remember. Be it according to religions. Be it by skin color. Be it because of the different languages ​​they speak. Be it because of the different interpretations of communism and capitalism. “No man fights against freedom; humanity fights most against the freedom of others.” These words are from Marx. People from all over the world came to America in search of quick riches. Their ancestors came from various parts of the world. The Spanish conquest, as far as I know, destroyed much of the Mayan civilization. Currently, the local population of Indians is some of the poorest in the country. Let's examine the actions of this politician. A leading politician always has advisors. Such behavior is due to his inability to have a comprehensive understanding of all issues. His success depends on the advice of these people. In my first book, I have a story about what kind of friends a person should have. There, at the end of the short story, I prove that it is better to have one smart friend than a hundred friends. The same applies to the leading politician. At least one advisor with a unified perspective is more effective than ten advisors with conflicting views. This advantage is due to the fact that you are presented with a variety of perspectives. One pulls back, the other pushes forward. and the third in the skies. I don’t know if the president’s statements were his or his advisers’, but they were disastrous. First, he proposed the acquisition of Canada and Greenland. He revealed his aggressive ambitions. He accused Europe of robbing him and, at the same time, supported nationalist parties in certain countries. He demonstrated that Europe was on the right track and that its fragmentation was necessary to weaken it. He demonstrated his beliefs by encouraging each country in Europe to preserve its national identity and avoid identifying itself as European, as Americans are doing now. He declared a trade war on the entire world, imposing his opinion. This statement is consistent with his actions over the past few years. Buy weapons from me; otherwise, terrible things await you. Yes, over the years he oppressed Arab countries by controlling oil. He continues to do so. Because if they give up the dollar, financial power disappears.  However, the strategy against Russia is not effective. Why? Russia secured the status of a strong military power for the United States after World War II.  The main challenge for American presidents is managing relations with China and, in the near future, India. The vice president made a statement. “We borrow from peasants to buy goods from them.” It literally sounds insulting. However, I see it as self-deprecation. It's not only a matter of not having money but also not having any goods. Where is your wealth? When someone once asked me how rich I was, I chose to ask him how many children he had instead. He informed me that he has four children. I answered him that he is twice as rich as me. Then he asked me how to understand that a person is rich. I answered him. A person is rich when, in addition to himself, he helps others. The more people he has helped, the greater his wealth. Then I also mentioned to him people who have invented vaccines that have helped many people. I brought up the names of Mother Teresa; Buffett, who has generously donated over 100 billion dollars to charity; and Bill Gates, who actively combats diseases like malaria and tuberculosis in impoverished nations. Similar to large corporations whose services or products are in high demand, they generate profits based on this demand. We impose customs tariffs to achieve specific goals. Theoretically, it is possible to achieve some results over time. But at what cost?  Ordinary people will pay. I am not an economist or a financier, but I have consulted many people to increase their assets. I would only impose tariffs on American companies. Let them distribute and optimize their production. How can a company be considered American if it doesn't produce anything in America? If companies invest in America without paying taxes for the next 15 years, I would encourage them to do the same, ensuring that their trust remains intact. Each country should at least take 10 percent care of its farmers. What is the purpose of sitting down at a table with an expensive plate, fork, spoon, table, napkin, and only half a plate of food? Neither the TV nor the dishwasher will feed you. According to statistics, at least one billion people go to bed half-starved, half the world still does not have clean drinking water, and we set out to conquer Mars. The president's decision to withdraw from the Green Deal is the most significant mistake he has made. Recently, people have blamed China for air pollution, although they produce more solar panels and wind turbines than any other country. Some people want to support green energy, but they do not agree with the president's decision. Why? This is due to the fact that the power of oil, including the dollar, is diminished by green energy. But I doubt China wants its money to become a reserve currency. I have no words. I argue that climate change is the greatest threat to humanity, and it is undoubtedly the most significant problem. We are already starting to feel its effects. Because of the nonsense we read, we don't have much time to contemplate it. However, when we experience the pain firsthand, our understanding of it deepens. The second primary issue is the withdrawal from the human rights charter, which was done just to accept a person who is currently ordering others to kill. I am sure that if you ask ordinary Jews, they are against what their leader is doing. The average American does not endorse the actions and statements of their president. By withdrawing from these two important charters, he undermines the human right to life. Who would trust you? Even if world trade stops, it's equal to ten percent, and the world will somehow survive it. Instead of ten coffees, they'll drink nine, and there's no problem. However, such an arrangement is not ideal for the average American citizen.  Who will pay a high price? You can't just threaten. Instead, focus on doing something meaningful, as that will lead to wealth. You cannot be wealthier than an individual with ten children if you yourself have only two. As we know, all 10 children will eat two eggs each, and that's 20 eggs. Your two children will eat two each, a total of 4 eggs. The value of a fiat banknote is subjective and based on perception, not intrinsic worth. In the end, this person will always be richer than you. We must accept this reality, work together, and be glad to be alive today, as we may not wake up tomorrow. One of my books contains a quote. We can't bring back the past, but we can reward the future as we want. The average citizen decides who to vote for, and then we wonder how they spend our tax money and work against our interests.

Actions Versus Words

In essence, everyone speaks, but most people listen to and comment on the words of politicians.  During the years for which there are at least some writings, the words of politicians, kings, and emperors were always directed at someone or against the enemy. Even modern politicians from small countries often attribute the obstacles to their people's development to others. Politicians from powerful countries consistently aim to win elections by targeting other powerful nations. However, they often fail to translate their promises of improving citizens' welfare into concrete actions. In today's world, where information spreads quickly and we often question the inane statements made by political candidates, we still choose to elect them again. Their popularity is due to our familiarity with them, which often leads us to distrust the unknown or unfamiliar. I only know that for as long as the world can remember, almost nothing has changed in the political sector and the promises of politicians. However, there have always been visionary people who take advantage of politics and make quick money. Nearly everyone worldwide is currently focusing on the election of the new American president. Everyone comments from their perspective. If a person sympathizes with the president, they defend him despite all the shortcomings of his administration. If the person does not favor him, they find flaws in all of his words, make grimaces, and criticize those who support him. I lack the necessary qualifications to evaluate him.  But I know with this new president, the whole world won't be bored. He loves demonstrations and loud words. As he claims, every American will become wealthy, and their debts will vanish. Additionally, the lives of the Indians and Americans living on reservations will transform into a fantastical realm. Every town and village is already well-organized.  I'm sure that some well-wishers who supported him, no wonder, begging for money to search for new horizons on Mars, will get money. After all, everyone holds a unique perspective. We can't blame them for everything. There is one more thing I can add. It always, or more often, happens that those who have the highest expectations are disappointed. Direct assistance invariably elicits opposition from people's emotions. The only thing I cannot accept is that all American politicians forget that their roots are from the whole world.

What is Politics? Quotes from Personalities

For people, it is a method of solving problems in a democratic way. But I can mention what a man told me in 1989. For as long as the world can remember, it was getting better, but it didn't get better. Take care of yourself. My opinion aligns with those who have claimed for 3,000 years that politics remains unchanged. I'm just going to quote a few people in general about politics.
