Daniel 5:25-28 21st Century King James Version
25 And this is the writing that was written: Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.
26 This is the interpretation of the thing. Mene: God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
27 Tekel: Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
28 Peres: Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.” (Mexicans and Canadians)
Donald Trump has declared economic war on everyone Canada, Denmark, Mexico, you name it. He has made himself into our Putin.
By turning his back on the weak and the powerless he has brought upon America its end.
25 years ago I became one of a number of people (some former employees of the man doing it) being slandered around Toronto with anonymous flyers designed to incite hatred against us. I turned the other cheek repeatedly and watched as people who could and should have spoken out stayed silent.
Nonetheless by refusing to engage my adversary blow for blow I used and continue to use his attacks the way a boxer uses sparring partners to make himself fit for the ring.
Not only that I have come to a deeper understanding of the power of love to overcome.
This is a moment pregnant with the potential for Canada, Denmark, Mexico (you name it) to become stronger by using our opponent’s force against him so that he wears himself out.
We will come out of this the better for the trial we are now set to endure while America under Trump is becoming lesser moment by moment.
It really does not matter who becomes Prime Minister altho in a fight I will always back an Irish man because we Irish have had centuries of practice.
Ed Keenan, of THE TORONTO STAR, coming through my door, said, “Reg Hartt you are the only person in Toronto who stands up.”
When Ed said that I realized he was saying neither himself nor anyone at THE STAR despite their much talking actually stands up.
Nonetheless, I am not the only person in this city who stands up though our numbers are few.
A few years back THE TORONTO SUN and THE TORONTO STAR reported I had been arrested and charged for child porn. They chose to ignore the publication ban.
After hiring and firing three lawyers I trusted everything I had learned from the ideas I embraced from Jane Jacobs, The I Ching, The New Testament and Rochdale College.
One lawyer on the eve of trial said, “I don’t know what to do. You could fall on your sword,” revealing I had a traitor for a general.
The last one’s office tried to terrify me into pleading guilty (I have a witness). I had been warned he was a shyster, a dumptruck.
Despite the plethora of anonymous flyers posted after the fact stating I am guilty the Crown told the court the police had found no evidence. The charges were withdrawn.The Crown declared to the Court my innocence.
When I told the Judge my lawyers were dump trucks he said, “They all are.”
I have bathed in the fires of purgatory.
The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed.
“The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men and women into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions and sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time.”—C. S. Lewis.
I am what each of us is called to be.
“To say ‘I and the Father are One is blasphemy. Unless we have the courage to blaspheme we are dead,” stated Joseph Campbell.
Adds Canada’s Dr. Norman Bethune: “A great artist lets himself go. He is natural. He swims easily in the stream of his own temperament. He listens to himself, he respects himself. He has a deeper fund of strength to draw from than that arising from rational and logical knowledge…. The function of the artist is to disturb. His duty is to arouse the sleeper to shake the complacent killers of the world. He reminds the world of its dark ancestry, shows the world its present and points the way to its new birth. He is at once the product and the preceptor of his time….In a world terrified of change, he preaches revolution – the principle of life. He is an agitator, a disturber of the peace, quick, impatient, positive, restless and disquieting. He is the creative spirit of life working in the soul of men.”

From this moment on America is growing less while we grow more.
Trump wants Canada to become America. Canada must invite America to become part of Canada. Mexico must invite Southern America to become part of Mexico.
Power based on force will always collapse because the strain of carrying the weight of force depletes those who use it.
Charlie Chaplin said, “We only want power when we want to harm. For everything else love will do.”
I’m with Charlie.
Tomorrow belongs to us.

In other words the Messiah will come when we grow up.–Reg Hartt
