Welcome to The Village Oak Tree

I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill.

Thank you for joining me.

Where to start. It seems that every week, there is so much going on in the news, especially in the U.S, that I struggle to know where to start.

This week, I am going to take us around the world a little bit to try and not talk about Trump so much.

Trump just sucks the oxygen out of the air every time he opens his mouth, which he does a lot of these days, and there’s a lot more going on than just himself.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit. I’ve gathered some news stories and articles from around the world that, once again, might surprise you or at least open your eyes a bit.

I the wake of the Charlie Kirk murder (I refuse to call it an assassination) and funeral, The United States has started becoming even more unraveled than before, if that’s even possible. It doesn’t help that they have a president who is actively helping to stoke those divisions as much as he can.

In a week of blatant media censorship from the white house, and outright lies during a state visit to England, this president is setting up a scenario for further violence. Which may be on purpose.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit. I gathered some news stories and articles that most people won’t normally read to emphasize what’s going on that should concern everyone.

The United States and thew world, is at a crossroads and things are starting to get violent everywhere. I've decided to move away from this idea of the U.S. states seceding as it doesn't make economic sense. But changes need to be made if the U.S. is going to survive.

The same can be said for Europe and the middle east. The world is on the cusp of another global conflict and unless the economic issues being raised by the people are addressed, a larger war will break out.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit as I take more of a look at what's changing in the U.S. and abroad.

This week, we take this internal cultural and political division in the U.S. a little further, with the prospect of a split up of the states in the U.S., what that might look like and why that might not be a good idea.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit as I offer a glimpse of what the U.S. might look like in the near future.

This week, We're continuing about the extreme divisions between the different people in the U.S., and Canada, and what the ultimate outcome of what that will look like eventually if things keep going as they are.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit as I talk about the huge cultural divisions in the U.S. and some parts of Canada.

Authors Note: Warning, there are some adult sexual references as regard to Donald Trump, and some adult language with regard to republican politicians in general here in Virginia. There is also an off-script monologue at the end about my interaction with a wannabe local state politician who paid me a visit this week, instead of my usual commercial break and reading of another chapter of The Priest by Michael Campi. If you’re from Virginia, I would advise you to listen all the way to the end. Even if you’re not, this may apply to your state as well in the near future.

This week, I'm going to continue talking about human nature, with a focus on the current authoritarian crisis in the United States and in Palestine. In this instance, the deliberate extermination of a people out of a sense of extreme tribalism.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit as I talk about tribalism today and how that's affecting the world at large.

This week, I'm continuing what I started last week. I'm going to talk some more about humans and their innate ability to destroy nearly everything they come in contact with. I'm starting off with an expanded version of a blog article I wrote back in late 2022 about tribalism. It didn't get much traction back then, and it may not today but it still needs to be said.

In this episode, I talk more about human nature, and what that portends for the future of the United States and its people, and the world at large.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit as I talk about tribalism and how that plays into empire building.

A couple of weeks ago, an online friend from northern California wrote a short blog article wondering what north America might look like if the Europeans had never arrived. There was much online speculation about that, and I got the idea to explore that a little bit more. I had asked my friend to collaborate with me on this but, apparently he became distracted with something else, like survival.

So today, I am bringing my take on this, along with some history I dug up from Wikipedia.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit as I present some history and some thoughts on what the Americas might look like without the Europeans.

This week, I want to ask what does a fascist United States looks like under Donald J. Trump? I offer a perspective that no one is talking about, that I think, based on his life so far, fits the narrative we're seeing to a tee. All I ask is that you listen with an open mind and think about this after I'm done today.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let's talk about what Donald Trump's version of fascism looks like.

Firstly, I want to let everyone know that the experiment of posting one of my fictional Irish stories was a bust. Only a couple people liked it, and I lost two free subscribers over it so I won't be doing that anymore. I'll just save them for my next book.

In the meantime, it's been a busy week across the world. As I promised last week, I'm going to talk about how fresh water across the world is disappearing due to misuse and how this is starting to affect geopolitics.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let's talk about the loss of fresh water across the world.
