Welcome to The Village Oak Tree

I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill.

Thank you for joining me again this week.

I’m going to keep on with more doings from around the world this week. Rather than a bunch of news headlines, I have a couple of videos to share this week, not that I’m going to play them for you. They would take up far too much time but I will link them in my commentary on Substack and Medium for anyone who wants to watch them. I will show you the headlines though.

What they tell us, is how bad things are getting all around the world. The political landscape is rapidly changing everywhere and not for the good. Even in Russia, the political landscape is starting to turn the other way now, regarding the war in Ukraine. Big changes are coming for all of us soon, no matter where we live on this planet.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit while I bring you more stories from the world outside of your village.

The United States is at a crossroads in its history. There is a major fight going on for control and its soul.

I have a couple of news stories from around the world about corruption and greed in the highest places, the state of the EU, and some intel from the war in Ukraine. Plus a report on the shadow fleet vexing world leaders as they try to control the flow of oil to their advantage.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit while I bring you more stories from the world outside of your village.

All around the world this week, there’s some kind of commotion going on to pull our eyes to the next big thing. What they all amount to, is a world coming apart because of one man. Donald J. Trump.

I found some more news stories that show us a glimpse of what the rest of the world is doing to get around Trump’s United States so their people can try and live decent lives.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit while I attempt once again, to show how the world is pushing the U.S. aside and carrying on without them more and more.

G'Day to you all. It's another week of chaos from Trump's United States for the Gulf states as the on again, off again straits of Hormuz issue continues.

This week, I'm returning to the middle east with some news stories I picked out for just that occasion. I have a lot going on at home myself this week, so I'm going to keep this rather short today.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit as I try to paint a small picture of what's going on and what affect that's having and going to have on us at home going forward.

Today, I want to talk about how the United States is quickly becoming a failed empire this week, using some news stories I found from around the world. It seems that the other nations of the world have had enough of Trump and his United States and are taking their business elsewhere.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit as I offer up some more thoughts on current economic world affairs once again.

In keeping with my overall theme of economic factors that affect all of us in one fashion or another, as I told everyone last week, we’re going to talk about health care systems around the world today. Especially the systems in the U.S.

As a U.S. military veteran, I’m also going to talk about the U.S. Veterans Administration’s free health care for veterans as well. It’s free but at a cost for the veterans, and I don’t mean out of pocket monetary expenses.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let me tell you about some of my experiences with the VA through the years and I will try and offer some comparison between some of more common health care systems available to people around the world.

I want to conclude my current climate change series with a look at what a dystopian future landscape might look like within the next twenty five years or so. I will offer some publicly sourced pictures from the internet and some of my own taken during my travels around the world to show everyone tuning in what to expect once the climate hits 3C mean average global temps.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit while I talk about a very real possible future landscape right out of one of those dystopian future movies some of us have seen in years past.

In the YouTube video and written article on Substack and Medium.com, I show some personal photos from my travels in the deserts around the Persian Gulf and a short video clip from an old Mad Maxx movie from the early 1070's. Unfortunately, I can't show them here. What I can offer are links to them for anyone interested in seeing them.

I’m staying with the climate change topic some more as I think it’s becoming very important, even though everyone in the world is busy watching the wars in the middle east.

As I said last week, some of that dust and debris from all of those bombs ends up in the upper atmosphere where the winds scatter across continents. But that’s small potatoes compared to all of the emissions from burning fossil fuels over the last couple of centuries. All of which is causing more cataclysmic climate issues than concrete bomb dust will ever do.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit while I talk about rising water levels, wildfires, droughts and so much more.

I’m going to revisit climate change again this week. We talked about it a couple of weeks ago but that was before Trump and Netanyahu decided to start bombing Iran and creating a global oil and soon, a global food crisis. The world won’t really see the effects of this until harvest season later this year but it will ripple forward through next winter and into 2027.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit as I lay out what’s coming, as far as the warming climate is concerned, for this year and beyond.

I want to talk about this latest thing in some of the news media from last week about mixing Christian nationalism with warfighting in this war/not war with Iran.

There has been a lot of pushback from all sides, even from the middle east, as Trump unilaterally declared war on Iran, at the behest of the Israelis a week and a half ago.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit as I tell you a couple of my own personal military stories regarding religion in the ranks and some other related news.
