To be a truly human being, trying to make sense out of this 21^st century’s tumultuous, topsy-turfy moment in time; in the midst of MAGA King Trump’s New World Disorder, and yet another Gilded Age for the ultra-rich; is a bizarre, almost-too-unreal-to-be-believed, Kafkaesque experience.

For that same human being, who continues to bear witness to so much excessive wealth, hoarded by so few, while so many others remain threatened with total economic collapse, and still others must endure the worst possible human deprivations imaginable; entrapped, as they are, in violent, bloody wars, from which there is no escape; that daily threaten to turn into even more full-blown world wars; represent so many other, almost-too-unreal-to-be believed, Kafkaesque moments.

Each grim moment, like so many other grim sides to the 21^st century era, that, when compared and contrasted with yet other previous woeful eras in human history, epitomize and symbolize the same fores at work in the world today. When taken together, they could be said to collectively symbolize: When The Sun King Louis XIV, and his son Louis XV’ Palace at Versailles, Became as if One with MAGA King Trump’s Flying Palace in the White House.

For the 21st century’s raucous era now might best be symbolized by the Qatar Royal Family’s lavish 400 million dollar ‘gift’ to MAGA King Donald Trump’s America of a gold-gilded Boeing 747-8 ‘Flying Palace’; complete with: gold-lined walls, gold-gilded furniture and countless golden bells and whistles. A generous, neighbourly gift by Qatar’s Royal Family; as royal kings and queens have been doing to themselves and between one another for countless centuries.

.

.

Ostensibly, the ‘Flying Golden Palace’ was given to both America and Trump, gratis, with no known strings attached, just to replace their aging, 40-year-old Air Force One. However, it already has been made crystal clear that once ‘MAGA King’ Trump leaves his office, throne, pulpit, or however else one might prefer to refer to his role in the White House, it’s already clear that, once Trump permanently leaves his desk in the West wing of the White House, the gift by Qatar’s Royal Family of a Flying Golden Palace will be duly transferred over to Trump to use in perpetuity as part of the Trump Library and Trump Foundation. How’s that for “pulling strings?

Whatever other unknown grandiose strings, far exceeding in value and importance that of the Flying Palace, that may also still be attached to Qatar’s golden gift, remains an unknown to the world and, at this point, can only ever be imagined.

It’s as if the 21^st century’s Gilded Era has now become as it were, a seamless throwback in time to when kings and queens once everywhere: ruled with an iron glove; did a perpetual kumbaya dance together; forever lauding themselves and one another with all manner of countless goodies and riches.

Yet the death knells continue to toll for the demise of what Truth, Peace & Democracy once symbolized in the world; the excesses in the reign of the MAGA King becoming ever more arrogantly-manifest; impacting ever greater upon the entire design and purpose of the human world.

Meanwhile, Planet Earth simply continues to spin ever-faster, around ever more enormous amounts of ruthless power, wealth and control of the masses; with all the kings, queens and lessors exercising their every whim over humanity and all forms of life upon Planet Earth.

Otherwise, everything, no doubt, will just continue as before until, finally, the whole world probably goes kaboom!
