Instead of a “New Year’s Resolution” how about a return to the essence of who you are fundamentally., This means putting context to your character driven historically by commerce and responsibility sometimes artificially imposed. Seriously. I’m not talking about abdicating from roles. I’m talking about raising your bar for actualizing your uniqueness. The only way to make inroads is to discount absolutely the opinions of others. Nobody knows you like you know you. If you continue to live micro-cosmically with more attention on your dinner dishes and Black Friday Amazon discounts – those egocentric oligarchs may just stamp out the liberty and ambition of your descendants.

With the rise of Trump back into the Whitehouse, I’m flabbergasted by the lack of outrage on social media. You all fail to realize that with one mute voice, there is another and another and yet another. Then there is the establishment of a behavioral pattern and the evil doing deceivers start to drive the narrative in response to apathy. You start to even question your own power to form cerebral thought based on solid values built over decades.

The bad news online is that you must now protect yourself at every turn. This fact was going to transpire irrespective of the disappointing political backdrop. The good news is that strong security measures have been undertaken to protect you so long as you heed the measures. That is…double authentication along with virus and malware software. Additionally, you must now look at every stranger online or otherwise as a potential threat with an ulterior motive. You must make rules with respect to what you never do with someone you do not know.

Now back to the new year. I’m talking about letting your character shine through in a world requiring more lanes of navigation. This is an appeal to you that you and your thoughts matter and that your saviour sits within your four walls. Your uniqueness has value and we need to see it in 2026. An inward looking disposition is not going to cut it as we move forward. Our conscience must be harnessed for demanding accountability and change in absolute terms. Let the warmth of the holiday season carryover into civility and expression as 2026 takes hold.

I’ll speak in non-legal terms. It’s official -your country is a laughing stock now. It is corrupt and your legal system is in a failed state. No news headline today yet has referenced new impeachment proceedings. Your President is a bully and by concealing files with a cover up given that DJ Trump has had a well documented friendship with Jeffrey Epstein of which the bond has been characterized as one for the pursuit of “conquest over women”, one can now make a fair association between Epstein’s deeds and DJ absolute valid potential for participation in like crimes. Your President has boasted about grabbing women’s genitals, makes references to the good looks of his daughter, has apparently via microphone referenced his wife’s underwear drawer, and recently has referred to Africans as “garbage”. This kind of behavior is that of a deviant. He’s a pathological liar and it’s absolutely plausible that given his history of deviant behavior that he himself is all over the files and has paid off voluminous numbers of individuals in order to keep free from accountability. Just look at the members of the Republicans in office who can’t muster themselves to distant themselves from this a**hole. How does a man who has engaged in thousands of lawsuits – many of which amounted to the extortion of contractors find himself here? How does your country not find a way to kick his *ss out of your government?! Now, this man is sabre rattling by ordering and has ordered the expropriation of oil from Venezuela. Most of you cower at the thought of another Trump defamation suit when you should be demanding simple answers to simple questions daily. Incompetence and corruption must be dealt with swiftly and severely. Otherwise; the future will amount to absolute oppression.

You have things to do. You are busy but the more that you squelch dissent, the more risk you bring to the future of your children. It’s that simple. Prior to the internet, you spent time lining up in bank queues. Prior to rapid transit, you spent time at bus stops. Prior to email, you spent time hand writing envelopes. Prior to google maps, you spent time navigating. Prior to Amazon, you spent time in malls. Prior to cell phones, you lined up to purchased tickets. In other words, technology has served you with time efficiency but it has also come at a cost. I’ll let your imagination run with the costs. However; your voice is also going to need to start counting. 

AI expert, Yoshua Bengio, as one of the three reknown Godfathers of AI has exclaimed via “The Diary Of A CEO” that he himself missed the risks of AI deployment and only became concerned after the rolling out of ChatGPT. He admits to being dismissive and as human as anyone else by ignoring signs of harm.

Today, despite everything that been witnessed and chronicled with respect to U.S. President Trump’s character, he still holds this high office of responsibility. Investigative reporter Nicholas Confessore today admits on air at MS NOW that what brought Jeffrey Epstein and Trump together was “women and sexual conquests”.  Trump chided every opportunity to release his tax returns for scrutiny and now the Epstein file details have not yet been released with transparency.  This man as President of the U.S. is a proven liar and has referred to people from Africa as “garbage”. He has referred to protesters of confederate statue removals as “good people on both sides” despite the preponderance of KKK members standing proudly within. He practically befriended Putin and at one point during Russia’s war with Ukraine and rebuked the Ukraine President in the Oval office for being ungrateful of the U.S. for war support despite heaps of evidence to the contrary. He disrespected the military service of John McCain while he himself had made up an injury to dodge the Vietnam draft. The laundry list goes on with respect to the blight in this man’s character. Did you know that Wikipedia has referenced over 4,000 law suits for which Trump and / or his companies had been involved from the early 1973 until 2016 when he took office for the first time. The only plausible explanation as to why this man is still running the country is one that I leave to your imagination.   

Now….back to you. Every one of you has the power today to make your views known broadly and widely given the digital infrastructure before you. If you resist or hesitate due to fear from reprisals – you and your loved ones lose. Some voices speak more clearly. I bet your voice is one of those. Your sleep is more sound when your conscience is brought to the fore.
