Existential

                                                     

 For those wondering about CYCLOP's  silence while the the leaders of the Anglo Saxon Democracies set about defying/destroying their nation's constitutional protections there is an explanation   reason   excuse.

Cyclops has been deeply embroiled in thought about a real existential threat to CIVILISATION in North London.

                                      Tottenham Hotspur in the space of 2 weeks

•                             Lost to Leicester having been 1 up and dominating
•                             Knocked out of Caraboa Cup by a team from ESSEX
•                             Four divisions below

•                             Former Arsenal forward scoring four of them,
•                             Lost 3-0 away at Brighton the following Saturday.
•                             Prior to that Brighton had scored 2 goals in 7 games                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Only redeeming feature Aurier got sent off against Villa and cannot play for 3 games.                                                                                                                                                                                        In this calendar year -9+ months

•                          Spurs have lost 17  games
•                         Have failed to win a single premiership away game 
•                         Have been unable to sell a group of international players who want to                             leave 
•                         And Spurs want to sell
•                         

                                                      Will Levy get the message ?   

•    The players--rightly --feel they are underpaid compared to their peers at Top clubs                     in UK,Spain,Italy,Germany and China.
•    Every one in the starting 14 would get at least I million pounds more a year elsewhere.  
•    Except for Aurier.
•    Sold Trippier for £14 million to Atletico Madrid  BEFORE getting a better replacement/
•    Bought Aurier for £ 23 million from  Paris St-Germain
•   What did he know that they did not?
•   Did he think PSG needed the money?
•   Trippier is a better crosser,shooter,dribbler and DEFENDER than Aurier.
•   Aurier can run faster--needs to because he is NEVER in the right place.
•   Will be lucky to unload aurier for free in January
•   Could not buy Trippier back for £60 million. 
•   Pochetino is still sulking about Real Madrid not making an offer for him
•   And signing a 5 year contract giving boss man Levy the whip hand

                                         Levy MUST go😒                                                                           He does not understand it is...

•        Not about the Balance Sheet

1.     Lost his overall majority because a single,sentient,sensible,sulking, insulted Tory joined    the Liberal Democrats,
2.     Doing so dramatically while BORIS was making his first Parliamentary Speech as PM.
3.     Threatening to defenestrate any Tory members who voted to prevent a "no deal" Brexit.
4.     Thus emboldening them to do just that.
5.     Then suspending them,thus ensuring their further independence
6.     And reducing his majority to -42
7.     Then losing a vote allowing him to "LEAVE THE EU" by October 15th 
8.    Finally BULLYING BORIS demanded parliament agree to an immediate election.
9.    Parliament said "bugger orf"
10.   BLUSTERING BORIS has managed to make Crass,Cretinous,Crazy,Clodhopper Corbyn appear to be a tactical genius

    ED:                               Enough with the alliteration already

    CYCLOPS:                   But B is such a good letter

    11. Now that takes a true ALCHEMIST👳

    12. Maybe Boris's lead to gold thing and billions for the NHS is true after all?

    13. Anyway the 21 Defenestrated Tories include 3 ex Chancellors,9 other ex Cabinet ministers        and Churchill's Grandson

    14. If these aren't Tory Grandees then words have no meaning.

     15 These 21 plus those Tories who defected before Boris cam to power would make a far                more credible Cabinet than the one he appointed.

     16.Must have consulted Jezza

GREENLAND --CROWD FUNDING APPEAL

Trump Is Said to Ask: Can We Buy Greenland? 

STATUS

Greenland is the largest Island in the world.

After Australia.

Which is defined as a Continent .           

It is an autonomous Danish territory.

Located between the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans.

The capital Nuuk is 344 miles CLOSER to NYC than to              Copenhagen

Nuuk is 2 hrs ahead of NYC

Nuuk is 4 hrs behind Copenhagen

Trump originally wanted to buy Iceland but was told by the Icelanders that Greenland was MUCH BIGGER and Green.           
                              That worked.

NORDIC & HEBREDIAN ROOTS

• Trump believes population is descended from Leif Eriksson.
• Discoverer of the Thirteen Colonies.
• Not  by the Italian Jew Columbus. 
• Trump Presidency has not proved to be strong on history or geography.
• Trump believes Ericson was his forebear and the GREATEST Explorer EVER.
• Readers may recall that in Trumpfski's "Art of the Deal" he claimed the family was Swedish.
• He now accepts that his grandfather came from Bavaria.
• Staff checked--Bavaria is in Germany.                         https://www.history.com/news/donald-trump-father-mother-ancestry 

• His mother’s parents are from the remote Scottish Outer Hebrides.
• The Hebrides are almost 1,000 miles closer to Greenland than is Copenhagen. [ED;ah ha]
• They lived in a Gaelic-speaking area.
• This,and his father's German, may account for Donald's difficulty with the English language.                                                                                                        POPULATION

• Iceland's Population is about 56,000.
• Same as Mar a Lago. 
• Mostly Innuit.
• Not same as Mar a Lago
• Steve Miller sees no problem deporting Innuit "immigrants" after the purchase.

     

• Greenland has high rates of suicide, alcoholism and unemployment.
• Trump may believe it's in Kentucky.
• The Island relies on Denmark for two thirds of its budget revenue.
• Mick Mulvaney anticipates no problem .
• Either cleanse the Innuit or slap tariffs on Denmark.
• The Danes will pay for the [sea] wall.

BUSINESS CASE

• Trump interested in Greenland so he can build a Trump Hotel and Casino away from prying eyes.
• Putin told him it would be better than a Trump Tower Moscow.
• Planning joint venture with Oleg Deripaska,friend of Moscow Mitch.
• There's that Kentuckky connection again.

 NATURAL RESOURCES

• Natural resources include coal, zinc, copper,ice, and iron ore.
• None of this is economically viable.
• White House "economist" Peter Nabarro has recommended the deal.
• After China surrenders on those tariffs.
• And currency manipulation.
• After Christmas Gift Season.

GRAND PLAN

Trumpfski's plan is to buy/steal/take/have Greenland.

• Appoint himself a Norse god or King.
• Doesn't like the name Thor.
• King Canute sounds nice and fits with his understanding of science and economics.
• The "Island" designation will be changed to "Continent".
• Trumpfski may promote himself to Emperor.
• The name Bokassa has a ring to it.
• Lewendowski asked if Abyssinia could be thrown in as a package deal.

  TITLES

• The erudite and cosmopolitan Mnuchin has suggested the title El Douche.
• Believing Trumpfski has the chin for it. 
• Mnuchin also believes Chancellor would be a better title for himself as "Keeper of the Purse".
• He has a Scottish Wife.
• Ivanka will be El Douche's consort as Melania is busy in New York.
• Jared will be in charge of forging a peace treaty amongst the Viking States.
• Donald Jnr. and Eric will hunt Lions on the continent's Savannah.
• Their grasp of Geography and Science rivals that of Dad

          There are of course issues of price and the financing.
     
PRICE

• Trumpfski is expected to drive a hard bargain with the Danes.
• He will berate them.
• Threaten with Tariffs and
• Bolts of Lightning.
• Walk away from the table.
• Renege on the first agreement.
• Renege on the second agreement.
• Finally forcing them to take twenty per cent more than they originally asked.                                                                                                                                                                FINANCING
• Most observers expect Deutche Bank to provide the financing.
• It may be that this bank will have been liquidated before the purchase can be made.
• Just in case,CYCLOPS here announces a crowd funding program.
• A $1,000 from every family in America should achieve the objective.
• CYCLOPS has graciously volunteered to use his personal royal accounts to facilitate matters for the ruler of this great new continent

 BACKSTOP

Failing that the people of Virginia will volunteer to swap.
We will become citizens of Denmark .
While the Greenland Norse become subjects of Trumpsilvania.

CONDITIONS of SALE

In any event the conditions of sale will include but not limited to:

•  An immediate Trumpfski resignation of the US presidency.
•  Transfer of the newly royal family, accolytes, partners, 
•  Moscow Mitch,collaborators,chattels
• Donors,lobbyists,cohorts,Moscow Mitch[don't forget] and 
• Assorted "friends" to the new Kingdom.
• Southern Evangelicals will have "a right of return". 
• To Trumpsilvania NOT the USA.
• This right will survive the RAPTURE.
• An irrevocable deed of sale. even unto the seventh generation.
• Enforceable "Hold Harmless" the American and Danish Peoples clause  and 
• Normal protections pursuant to such Ambitions and Delusions

Biden falling into 3-way tie with Warren and Sanders ?

  Poll shows Biden falling into 3-way tie with Warren and Sanders          CBS 8/27/19

      

                  This Monmouth Poll created Democrat consternation         

And glee amongst Republican "strategists

                                                                                                         

   Both emotions proved premature:                                          Biden back on top, enjoying wide leads in two new polls politico 08/28/2019  

 Polls published on Wednesday show Joseph R. Biden Jr. with a significant national lead  NYTIMES              

average

28.9 Biden +11.8

17.1 Sanders

16.5 Warren

7.0 Harris

But the hiccup of the Monmouth Poll may presage a real threat to the Biden candidacy.

King Cyclops has therefore agreed to reveal the psephology behind the Royal Court's predictions,prognoses,punditry and probabilities.

We use the following equation.                                               PrBN=100% -∑{Ttw + ꝺTp  } + Bd - Rc+ Pe - DM - V s  - {ث + בּשּ }

Where:

•   PrBN  = Probability of Biden Nomination 
•  Ttw     = Trump tweet density ; 
•  ꝺTp     = delta Trump approval/disapproval 
•  Bd       = Biden Decency 
•  Rc       = Republican Courage Index;  
•  TPri     =Trump Popular Revulsion Index; 
•  DM     =Democratic Mess Quotient ;
•  Vs       = Voter Suppression Effectiveness
•   ث        =Muslim turnout 
• בּשּ        = Jewish Angst                                                                                                                                                                        The interpretations of the equation results results are of course heavily reliant on the wry wit,wisdom and insights of HRHKC                                                                                   The mathematically inclined might notice the "Biden Warning" revealed by the equation:                                                                
•  The more the electorate concludes that Trump is what he is.
• That not only must he be defeated,humiliated and then indicted.
• The clearer it becomes that at least half a dozen of the Democratic aspirants can comfortably beat him next year.
• If ,that is,he is even on the ballot.
• Therefore Biden's chief electoral asset --that he can beat Trump--is increasingly devalued.
• Any stumble or hint of losing the pace can lead to a rapid defection to others 
• Who the polls  show can also beat Trump.                                               Herein lies the Biden Achiles Heel 
  
                                                                                                       It may increasingly feel to Democratic activists that ANYONE can beat Trump.                                                                                            The sirens will sing.                                                                      Beware the Rocks me Hearties.                                                    Sanders vs Trump in 2020 ?                                                               🙋 Warren Please                                                          If Biden falls and Harris continues to lose traction .                          Then CYCLOPS will look to the B team:                                  Butticieg or Booker for late runs down the middle.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

Tlaib,Trumpski,Netanyahu and AIPAC

  Well never has CYCLOPS post achieved such an                   immediate and satisfying response.

1."AIPAC splits with Trump and Netanyahu, backs visit by Omar and Tlaib to Israel"
    "We disagree with Reps. Omar and Tlaib's support for the anti-Israel and anti-peace BDS movement, along with Rep. Tlaib's calls for a one-state solution. 
We also believe every member of Congress should be able to visit and experience our democratic ally Israel firsthand,"                  AIPAC 
2. Head of the American Jewish Committee, David Harris, t siding with AIPAC  said                 "Israel did not choose wisely" in this decision.
3.Republican Sen. Marco Rubio  disagrees "100%" with Omar and Tlaib on Israel  "but denying them entry into the country is a mistake."
4. "AIPAC and other Jewish groups join prominent lawmakers in criticizing Israel’s                   decision to ban Tlaib and Omar" “the first instinct of Israeli officials to let them into the country was [the] right one.”

Including almost all US Jewish Organisations

• AIPAC (See above.)
• The Jewish Federations of North America 
• The Simon Wiesenthal Center
• The American Jewish Committee
• The Anti-Defamation League
• Jewish Democratic Council of America
• Israel Policy Forum
• J Street                                                                          And elected officials of Jewish Origins and Not

  In Israel itself?                                                                                           "Israeli Decision on Omar and Tlaib Inflames Politics in Two Countries"     NYTIMES
                          https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/16/world/middleeast/israel-rashida-tlaib.html?module=inline   
Today , Israel said that congresswomen Rashida Tlaib, could enter on humanitarian grounds so that she could see her 90-year-old grandmother, after she promised to “not promote boycotts” during her stay.

This is a second shift in position of  Benjamin Netanyahu:   

1.The Israeli Interior Ministry initially approved a planned official visit by Ms. Tlaib, of Michigan, and another Democratic lawmaker, Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. 

2.But after a public objection by President Trump, it blocked them, citing their support for the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.

3. Friday, Israel said Rashida Tlaib, could enter on humanitarian grounds to see her 90-year-old BUBBA,----after she promised to “not promote boycotts” during her stay.
Proving how politically inept are  both the Israeli's and Tlaib.

Tlaib then reversed herself: 
                                                                                                                 Refuses Israel's 'oppressive conditions' for West Bank visit-reuters 
                      Tweeting:   “I can’t allow the State of Israel to take away that light by humiliating me & use my love for my sity{BUBBA} to bow down to their oppressive & racist policies,”                              “Silencing me & treating me like a criminal is not what she wants for me. It would kill a piece of me. I have decided that visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in—fighting against racism, oppression & injustice,”                                                                                                                                                     
  Joining Trumpfski in proving that Tweeting is not the smartest way to pursue a political cause.
                   Some Gratuitous advice to Rep.Tlaib:  

•  You have been gifted a golden political platform by the desperate bigots Trump and Netanyahu---one very smart the other deranged,you choose.
• Use it for the Palestinians not your sense of personal grievance or for showmanship.
• Trust not this temporary adulation.
• Call the heads of AIPAC,the American Jewish Committee and The Anti-Defamation League for PRIVATE one on one meetings.
• Do not grandstand after these meetings.
• Seek common ground--on a Palestinian homeland there is overwhelming sympathy among American Jews.
• Not least in your own Democratic Caucus.
• Resist making enemies for no purpose other than personal narcissism.                                                                                                                                                                               There is a moment here.                                                             Will Tlaib seize it?                                                               The record is not encouraging.
