Dear President Donald Trump
Today, the 14th February is Valentine’s Day, when men and women share and celebrate their love for one-other.
In 1955 I met Val who I married in 1962 after I qualified as a Chartered Accountant. We have shared and celebrated our love for one-other for nearly 70 years.
As a child during WWII, our family home was bombed flat. At the end of the War on the 2/9/1945, I remember the Celebrations to end all Wars. There was a belief that there would be enduring PEACE.
In each subsequent year, on the Anniversary, at Memorials there is a minute’s silence and the words “Lest we forget” in recognition of all the men and women who sacrificed their lives and well-being in the defence of Freedom.
For subsequent Generations and Leaders, these Anniversaries are symbolic of WAR and not a commitment to PEACE.
In the intervening years the stand off between the Nuclear Powers of the USA/UK/etc and Russia/China/etc is described as the ‘Cold War’ when if PEACE was in the minds of the Leaders it should have been called the ‘Interim Peace’.
Today, the 14/2/2025 the People and Leaders of the World are further away from PEACE than in 1945 and “Lest we forget” are only words to be recited.
How is it that there is an International Space Station but NO International PEACE on Earth? Remember “Where there is a will there is a way”. Do you, as President, have the will for PEACE on Earth?
Since your inauguration on the 20/1/2025, your Presidency has funded and supplied bombs to War Criminals, Netanyahu and Zelensky, so that you are their Partner in their Wars and killing.
How is it that you and other Leaders engaged in War, openly speak of ‘God’ but cannot keep the Ten Commandments in-particular No.5 Thou shall not kill. and No.10 Thou shall not covet your neighbour’s goods. Your adherence to these two Commandments could bring World PEACE as a strength NOT a weakness.
There is no doubt that money has been used to facilitate evil agendas. However, 1 Timothy 6:10 makes it clear that money is not the root of all evil–the love of it is.
In America nothing happens unless money changes hands. The same applies to American’s international relationships.
Money matters most when there is DEBT to be repaid. America has DEBT of $US36 Trillion. When you understand that this DEBT is due to your EXISTING TAXES on incomes, profits and goods and services that have ‘Made in America’ uncompetitive against ‘Made in China and BRICS’ you should understand and commit to the research and implementation of 2% LIBERTY TAX, This single TAX takes these EXISTING TAXES off the prices of American goods and services and only adds a single 2 cents in the dollar to cost and prices so that ‘Made in America’ can replace imports.
2% LIBERTY TAX gives your workforce of 168+million the incentive to create personal and National wealth to pay off DEBT and comply with No.10 Thou shall not covet your neighbour’s goods, as the way and the means to negotiate No.5 Thou shall not kill, with World Leaders to secure enduring World PEACE.
Kind regards
