Author’s Note: The Priest has adult language so be warned

Welcome to The Village Oak Tree

I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill.

Thank you for joining me again this week.

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.

Warning: this week’s chapter of The Priest has very adult language in it.

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.
