Dear Friends! There are many who are shocked by the disregard of due process and laws by the Trump Cabalinet. Last weekend there were many demonstrations where people showed their opposition to his policies while Trump golfed. He might not even be aware of the numerous peaceful protests around the country. I was thinking of designing an easier way to have the protest to be counted. America is not particularly accurate when votes are counted. You know that most votes do not matter thanks to the Electoral College. But we can count money very well. In America, money talks! The basic idea of TheTruthWithHumor voting system is that rather than wasting your money like Elon Musk on buying a Government with election donations of $280,000,000, you can make your opposition counted by simply shifting your purchases to a particular day of the week. Voting should be free. Please review the “Money Talks” Freedom Roulette weekly calendar. It associates Tuesday with support for Trade Wars and lawless action by the Trump Regime. “Tuesday” comes from Tiu, or Tiw, the Anglo-Saxon name for Tyr, the Norse god of war. The people of the United States who are against trade wars and care about liberty, the law, due process, and freedom of all speech can shift purchases to “Freedom Friday”. Old English Frīgedæg ‘day of Frigga’, named after the Germanic goddess Frigga, wife of the supreme god Odin and goddess of married love. Our motto: “Show your love for Liberty by spending your money on Fridays!” By comparing day-of-the-week sales statistics before and after “Liberation Day”, the day Trump chose to declare trade war on the whole world, we will be able to show that there are many people who care about Liberty and rather live in trade peace with our allies, friends, and neighbors. Voting should be easy and anonymous! Vote with your money. I like to invite retailers who also support a world in trade peace by offering Liberty Discounts on Fridays to all customers. We make voting as easy as shopping! Vote while you shop on Freedom Fridays! Every Dollar counts. Imagine a future Tuesday where sales collapse. Then we know we are united in our opposition and love of Liberty. Please share this forward. www.TheTruthWithHumor.com

You may remember Harry S. Truman who had a sign "The Buck Stops Here!" on his desk. He wanted to show that he was responsible for the actions of his administration. Today we find a caretaker behind that desk who does not care and only takes. Soon April 1st might be the only day in the year where the people can speak truth to power without inadvertently ending up on a deportation flight to Guantanamo Bay or a hellhole prison in South America.

Dear Friends, Today I like to share my thoughts about the TOXIC Agent Orange Home Remedy Treatment that the United States has elected to shower on itself in a desperate attempt to fight a serious bout of depression and voter unhappiness. At its core, Agent Orange was a powerful tool to provide transparency! Who could object to that? For those of you who are not familiar with Agent Orange, here is an AI-Googled summary of some TRUTHS. Please commit these truths to your memory as the US is currently purging history based on DEI-associated word lists. With words like “gay” for example! You might have learned in your history class that the first atomic bomb ever dropped on a densely populated city was delivered not by a mid-wife but by a Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber, named Enola Gay after the mother of the pilot. The parents of Enola must have named her “gay” for it’s meaning to be lighthearted and carefree. What a nice name! Well, in today’s America where the poorly educated are loved by our dear leader just the appearance of the word gay on a Superfortress photo can purge it from the National Memory with “smart” AI that can find words in historic digital images. I believe most of the National Memory has already been cut with a Musk Chain Saw, or it will soon be eliminated by firing squad with a Musk-ET. Sorry I digress. Back to Agent Orange. During the Vietnam War, Agent Orange was a herbicide and defoliant used by the U.S. military to clear vegetation and remove foliage that provided cover for enemy troops. • Purpose: The U.S. military used Agent Orange and other herbicides like Agent Blue and Agent White to: o Defoliate trees and other vegetation to remove enemy cover. o Destroy enemy crops and disrupt their food supply. o Clear vegetation around U.S. bases. Health Effects: • Cancer: Various types of cancer have been linked to Agent Orange exposure, such as Hodgkin's Lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, according to the Public Health VA. • Birth Defects: There is evidence that Agent Orange exposure can lead to birth defects in the children of exposed veterans, according to the VA. • Other Diseases: Other diseases associated with Agent Orange exposure include diabetes, chronic B-cell leukemia, respiratory cancer, lung cancer, and soft tissue sarcomas. • Dioxin Persistence: Dioxin, the contaminant found in Agent Orange, is a persistent pollutant that can remain in the environment and accumulate in the food chain. Take a minute here to pause, and let that sink in… Elon Musk would now appear with a sink at your front door. I hope they are not yet looking for you. Any truth teller is a target. So more than 50 years ago the military-industrial complex in America the Beautiful, aided and abetted by Dow Chemical and Monsanto was willing to poison their own soldiers and their enemy in a disagreement over what is better for humanity, capitalism or communism. In my view it has been proven today that both of these systems appear to sooner or later converge to oligarchy, corruption, and unhappiness for the average man or woman, or any gay person in the carefree sense. For your ongoing education here is a quick side note on Monsanto: They make your Round-Up and the Round-Up resistant corn that you digest daily in many forms of your highly processed American diet. They were acquired in 2018 by the German firm Bayer which grew out of the I.G. Farben company (1925-1945) that supplied Cyclone B, the poison gas that the Nazi’s used in the gas chambers of their Concentration Camps. I find it “funny” in a very sick sense how so many of the toxic businesses in the world are connected by their capitalistic roots. There must be a source of evil that makes toxins flourish. Please use your computer to do some research on decades of birth defects that the mothers in Vietnam had to face thanks to American exceptionalism. What happened with the weapons of mass destruction that Saddam Hussein supposedly had? Where any of the “adults in the rooms of power” held accountable for starting a devastating war under false pretenses? Is it any surprise that the powerless countries in the world are in disbelieve when they see Russia and the US waving the magic veto wand at the UN that removes any accountability for their misdeeds? Rules are made for suckers if they are not symmetric! I like to close with a thought: A good case can be made that a lot of the people in power in Washington today are gay! Not in the carefree sense of Enola, but in the sense that they act FREE OF CARE! I hope you remember how Melania Trump was walking around in 2018 with a jacket emblazoned with the message: “I really don’t care, do you?” This is the fundamental QUESTION TO ALL of US today! Do we still care? About the climate that our children and all people in the world will have to survive because we love to drive our 15MPG SUVs. About the toxins and forever chemicals that we constantly dump into the environment. About the microplastics that are accumulating in food chains and brains. How much individual thinking is still done in the country where Freedom of Thought is not even mentioned in the Constitution and more and more neurons are plasticized. We know they/them only care about money and how to use pronouns and fear to divide us. It is time for us, the people who care, to think about a better national and global system than the corrupt machine that Elon Musk and his free-of-care sidekick are now obliterating. It is time to go back to the drawing board. Every vote should count! All lives on Earth matter! All humans and their future children are stakeholders on Earth. And if you feel you are so special that you don’t care about CO2 in the atmosphere, I would like to suggest a little scientific experiment. Take a large plastic bag. Place it over your head so that you are not longer exposed to the dirty air that the others emit. Close tight around the neck. Breath deep and relax. While your body is happily emitting and recirculating the waste CO2 that your metabolism creates, think about the future of a world with a lot more CO2. Please have a trusted helper close by who can end the experiment before the experiment ends you. Your life matters to me, too. And then take your Starship and fly to Mars! What should our priorities be at this Fork in the Road moment for humanity? 1. Stop stupid wars. They kill people, destroy the environment, and leave a lot of toxicity behind. For many decades. We should have learned the lessons of WWI, WWII, the Korea War, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine, Gaza… Escalation of violence does not lead to peace, prosperity, and happiness. The definition of insanity is to try the same failing recipe over and over. Do we really need to try the failed trickle-down tax cut experiment AGAIN? 2. Focus a lot of our ingenuity and energy on transforming the global society on a sustainable path with respect to the limited natural resources. We need to relearn to respect Earth and each other. China is showing us what is possible. Let sunshine in your life and let it power our lives! Save clean energy in sustainable batteries. Drill-baby-drill is as smart as the plastic bag experiment! It is the wrong way! The rich nations must take responsibility for the future of our Earth. We need to deploy our wealth to fight climate change and not to create a global Crypto Coin Casino. 3. Once we have plenty of sustainable, clean, and cheap energy available we can dedicate it to powering the power-hungry Artificial Intelligence systems that can help our own poor decision-making processes. Just by looking at our leaders we can see that the executive function in many heads is already severely compromised. There appear to be too many people who carry their heads only to prevent rain from falling into their open necks. Remember you have the Freedom of Thought even if Constitution 1.0 did not mention it. Your head is round so that your thoughts can turn their direction. It is time to turn this ship around. We are all on this Earth together! Think bigger than MAGA. MEGA! Make Earth Great Again! www.TheTruthWithHumor.com

Is Humanity hitting the Tower of Babel 2.0 cataclysm? Dear Friends, In these turbulent days I am thinking a lot about how stories from the ancient past connect with the amazing technological achievements and societal dysfunction that we observe today. The Tower of Babel story, found in the Bible's Book of Genesis, tells of how, after the Great Flood, people speaking a single language gathered in the land of Shinar and decided to build a massive tower reaching to the heavens, aiming to make a name for themselves; however, God, seeing their pride, confused their languages so they could no longer understand each other, causing them to disperse across the earth and leaving the tower unfinished; the name "Babel" itself is derived from the Hebrew word for "confusion.". (Source Google Search) What would a person from the days of Genesis think if they could time-travel into our world today? They would surely be amazed by the unbelievable recovery from God’s spell and the achievements that humans have been able to create as a group, collaborating over the global dispersion and language and cultural barriers that God created to limit us in our strive for the heavens. It only took a few thousand years to get to this point. A mere blip on the timescale of Earth that is measured in millions of years. The history of technological innovation is short on that scale. It has been accelerating at an unbelievable pace by the collaboration of an exponentially growing number of people with valuable educations that compete fairly to create better systems and technologies. Just looking at my lifetime we went from a transatlantic phone call that cost many $$ per minute to a nominal charge of one cent, which is essentially free. We can communicate 24x7 with our flat-rate broadband connections all over the world with all our friends. We have satellite networks like Starlink that extend connectivity all over the world. Diseases that used to be deadly for many have been almost eliminated by vaccinations. I am not even going to try to write down a comprehensive list of all the amazing technologies and innovations that we use every day without even an inkling of awareness. I think most of us are taking these technologies as God-given and don’t even appreciate any of this any longer. Until they fail. Think about what you did during your last power outage... How are we using these amazing capabilities? Soldiers from Russia are ordered by a despotic leader to attack their former fellow citizens with missiles, planes, drones and artillery. Ukrainian soldiers are fighting back courageously with support of Starlink and intelligence from the heavens. Hundreds of $Billions are wasted on wars that would be better spend to accelerate Humanity on a path to sustainability to prevent the climate catastrophe. Our unbelievable communication resources are wasted on spreading lies and propaganda to sow discord that separates families and ends friendships. Amazing computer capacity is created to run a global-scale Crypto scam that is looking for ever more suckers who are made to believe that they too can all get rich quick like the creators and true investors of this Crypto casino. I fear that we are now approaching the Tower of Babel cataclysm 2.0. Elon Musk, who has been an amazingly creative technological innovation warrior, is taking the chain saw to the Federal Government in a reform attempt where a scalpel would be the appropriate tool to cut out the small nodules of cancer that should be removed. It is a truly tragic story of epic proportions that reminds me of the cautionary tale of Icarus. Godspeed Elon! You have many golden parashoots. Unfortunately, the many people who you are disrespecting in the DOGE circus joke-show, while the feverish and delusional crowd cheers you forward with your chain saw, do not have the financial freedom that would allow them to glide to safety as easily as you will when your wings finally melt. In our oligarchic society, where tax cuts for the filthy-rich weigh down the country with debt, it appears that only rescue parachutes have upward mobility. Let that sink in! It is time for all of us to ask: “Have you no sense of decency, sir?” For how many of us does this line from congressional television in 1954 still ring a bell? I was not around but learned it from history. People forget their history and the important lessons that it holds at their own peril. Divided we fall. Be afraid of the people who make a wonderful living by splitting us up and who love the poorly educated who become easy marks for their organized scams. Humanity could be on an amazing, accelerating path of gaining knowledge if we follow the principles of science and truth in a world in peace that is guided by the Golden Rule. And this does not mean that the One with the Gold rules! Interestingly, the US Constitution does not explicitly guarantee us the Freedom of Thought! Was that an oversight? Do we need an afterthought here? The Founding Fathers probably thought that it is obvious that this Freedom cannot be taken from them. But it appears that many of us today, both on the left and right, have given up the Freedom of Thought, and outsourcing our own executive function to the groupthink that is manipulated by poor leaders who are filthy and rich and want to become even richer. Their greed has no limits and respects no borders. Any small country without its own nukes is a fair target for unfair shakedowns. MIGHT makes RIGHT. A veto trumps accountability for the powerful Nations with cushy permanent seats on the UN security Council. Laws and rules are for the small and weak. I believe we need the Constitution 2.0 where the Founding Mothers can include Freedom of Thought in the foundation of a reformed Republic. A healthy place free of toxicity where One Voter has One Vote! Isn’t it amazing that such a simple concept of “One Voter=One Vote” can be revolutionary? What world are we accepting to live in? Why should a modern country waste $Billions on stupid election advertisements and significant civic courage and effort to count votes, if its citizens do not even care to have each vote count? The Constitution 1.0 promised to establish domestic Tranquility in its preamble. Constitution 2.0 should preserve this desirable goal and extend it to the global village. I would love to have Freedom from Fear included. For school children there should not be a need to go through combat training of how to attack a deranged shooter with an AR15 that can shoot 20 rounds in 15 seconds who might appear at a moment’s notice in their classroom. I would love to live in an advanced society where I can exercise the Freedom to not wear arms because there is a well-trained militia that does, the Police. US small arms manufactures are making obscene profits by manufacturing unethical, dumb guns that kill 40,000 people a year in the US. That is equivalent to two 747 planes of precious human beings falling out of the sky every week. I am sure we would have more than “Thoughts and Prayers” for a technology problem where Boing sells 747s and two of them fall out of the sky every week to kill 40,000 of our loved ones every year. If we can have self-driving cars, we surely can ask for smart guns that end the American Carnage. The dumb guns are smuggled to Mexico to arm cartels with powerful rifles, even armor piercing sniper rifles, where Mexican police officers are simply outgunned in their battle to maintain tranquility for our friends in Mexico. Mexican politicians who want to work against cartels are simply executed on their streets. In return for the deadly guns the cartels smuggle deadly fentanyl and other drugs back to the US and make good money by selling bad drugs to our children. Soon they will be able to feed the illicit proceeds into Crypto ATMs in our local grocery store and then withdraw them cleanly laundered anywhere in the world. The paradise for the criminals who love Crypto is being created as we speak. How about including Freedom from Crooks in Constitution 2.0? There could be a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that ensures that mainstream media do not describe purchasing of value-free Crypto coins as “investing” and instead refers to it properly as "gambling". Such an agency could also prevent value-free Crypto meme coins to be hawked on Crypto exchanges, or more appropriate Casinos, to make filthy rich Crooks even richer. Constitution 2.0 should ensure Freedom from Fear Of Missing Out . For that it should take away the Freedom of Crooks to create FOMO and scare people who are busy with their lives to send them their life savings. People deserve real protection in return for the taxes they pay. How about including the Freedom from Crooks in Government? Transparency in Government is more than having a King who has no clothes. I have a Dream! Dream with me! The World’s children deserve a future FULL of HOPE and FREE from FEAR. Please share this dream with your loved ones. www.TheTruthWithHumor.com

Dear Friends, after more than 25 years in the corporate world, I do have an appreciation for the value of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). It makes it unlawful to bribe foreign officials to promote a business. We want that businesses succeed based on the quality of the products and not based on the size of the bribes paid to the decision makers. Now that I am a small business owner and the Trump Administration has announced on 2/10/2025 that they have paused to enforce the FCPA for 180 days, with a potential 180-day extension by the Attorney General, I am asking myself and You if this is an opportunity to accelerate to grow my business faster. Kind of like lighting the candle on both ends. I feel that failing to enforce the FCPA is a corrupt act. It feels like they are trying to fight corruption with CORRUPTION! We know that fighting fire with fire does work, at least sometimes. The backfire can create a firebreak ahead of an approaching fire if the winds are favorable by exhausting the fuel. If the winds are a storm like in the recent Eaton and Pacific Palisades fires setting a backfire will – well, backfire. Corruption feels different from fire. I think this will lead to a corruptions’ arms race where more and more of the resources that could be used to make the products better are wasted on bribes. What do my corporate lawyer friends think about the wisdom of starting corruption while enforcement is paused? The pause is not like a corrupt Presidential Pardon which is permanent and cannot be undone even if it is corrupt. See the recent pardons of violent attackers of Congress. I am afraid that I will still be breaking the law and later may see extortion by the law enforcers. I am thinking about the NY Mayor Adams case here as well. I find it interesting that 30% of the representatives in the House have law degrees, and 51% of Senators, and nobody as far as I have seen has any concerns with the Freedom of Corruption that is created by presidential fiat. I thought Congress is the business that builds the laws, and the executive branch is executing them. Maybe the executive function in the executive branch is not functioning well any longer and understands the execution of the law like putting it on an electric chair? Words can be ambiguous. Who really knows what the meaning of “is” is? Maybe a lawyer? Unless someone can make a good case that corruption is our future I will stick with Nancy Reagan’s advice on drugs. JUST SAY NO!

On January 23, 2025, the White House published a fact sheet “ Executive Order to Establish United States Leadership in Digital Financial Technology ” In the fact sheet we find the following presidential promise: ELIMINATING REGULATORY OVERREACH ON DIGITAL ASSETS AND PROTECTING AMERICAN ECONOMIC LIBERTY: President Trump is fulfilling his promise to make the United States the “crypto capital of the planet.” I hope that you remember that Mr. Trump said on Feb 23, 2016, ‘ I love the poorly educated ’. This was in his victory speech after he won the Nevada Republican caucuses during his first presidential campaign. Mr. Trump’s supporters love him for being honest and straight forward. “ He tells it like it is! ” Here you see an example of his honesty and why he loves his supporters so much. And there is no doubt that he means what he says. He is now (February 2025) starting to dismantle the Federal Department of Education. Personally, I would feel offended when somebody tells me that he loves me and that he loves the poorly educated. Doesn’t that mean he thinks I am poorly educated?! Aside from the loving education that Mr. Trump loves to sell, - I hope you remember the settlements of the Trump University scam in November 2016 ($25,000,000 to settle claims of three lawsuits) - even the “lamestream media” like the Washington Post or New York Times are doing a terrible job at explaining to people the essence of the Crypto Industry. I cannot count how many articles I read where a journalist wrote that people invest in crypto when they purchase crypto coins. As an engineer educated in Germany, I like to share some insights that I gained with my cheap (indeed free) but valuable taxpayer-funded education and share it with those who may have gotten a not-so-cheap and less valuable education at Trump University or other questionable US for-profit educational institution. To understand the world, it is an excellent strategy to follow the money. Let’s apply this to Investing 101. We have some money. We give the money to a businessman and become shareholders or partners in his business. The businessman has a great product idea but no money. He will take some of the money as his salary, hire staff who also get a salary, buy machines, develop technology, and pay lawyers to protect the business and ideas. At this point our money has vanished into many recipients’ pockets and has provided financial fuel to launch products. The business sells the products and receives money. The money that flows back into the business for the goods that are sold is its revenue. If the business is successful, it will produce revenue that exceeds the ongoing expenses. In this case we say the business is profitable and the owners/shareholders can receive a share of the profits that are the difference between revenue and expenses. At this time I like to point out that there are many kinds of businesses. The world of business and ethics are connected. Bringing clean water to people’s homes is good for the people and society. Of course, the water should be sold at a fair price. Selling cigarettes might be a great business for shareholders and the government if taxes are collected, but it exploits the addiction of people and stinks. There are some institutions of higher education that allow sports betting businesses to gain access to their students’ bodies to pitch betting to them and get them hooked. I believe it would be beneficial for our society if the people who have money take the ethical implications of their investments into account when they make investment decisions. To understand the world of the Crypto industry and who the investors are in it, I would like to give you an example that most of you are familiar with. The gambling industry. Many of you have visited Las Vegas or similar places where gambling thrives. In Las Vegas, investors have built casinos and hotels where people can bring their money, stay, drink, gamble, and ultimately leave their money in Las Vegas. You may have heard the saying “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”. The place is truly amazing. Its glorious presence proves that your money did stay there the last time when you visited. Some people apparently have fun losing their money. Others get addicted to the risk of losing their last shirt. Most games that are played at casinos are engineered to ensure that the casino will never lose, at least in the statistical sense. In a few games the player can gain an advantage if he can count cards and then bet with knowledge of the improved probabilities. To protect their profit, casinos will monitor very closely what the gamblers are doing and will shut down any successful schemes that violate the #1 rule that your money must stay in sin city. With the helpful analogy of the gambling industry, it is easy to see that the investors in the Crypto space are those people who provide the money to create the Crypto coins, the computer systems that are required for trading, and the exchanges who handle the transactions. The investors will also pay for advertisements to hire celebrities to pitch crypto at the Superbowl. And pay politicians many $1,000,000 to get favorable rules and laws to market their gambling product to the public without having to fear for repercussions for taking advantage of the poorly educated. The people who buy crypto coins are like the gamblers in casinos. Some of them may get lucky if they buy a coin early and sell it to another gambler before the coin’s valuation collapses. If we look at all the gamblers as a large family, we can observe that money flows to the creators of the Crypto Casino. When we look at the value of crypto mining to society, we find that it is a mechanism where the people who are made to believe that they can get rich quickly transfer their hard-earned cash to the crypto overlords. There is no benefit to society. If you love Mr. Trump, you might remember that he said in June 7/2021, “ Bitcoin, it just seems like a scam ”. Fast forward to 2025 where the Crypto “Industry” plowed $245 Million into the election cycle to promote pro-crypto lawmakers and support Mr. Trump. These donations ultimately were a successful investment to buy favorable US Government treatment for the Crypto scam. Three days before his inauguration Mr. Trump became an investor in his own crypto casino with the $Trump and $Melania meme coins where anybody who wants to curry favors with the educator in chief can openly give him $1,000,000 or even $1,000,000,000. IMHO these coins should be trading under the alias $Emoluments coins. If you hold Crypto coins you might want to get out before their valuation will drop to their value. You have the first mover advantage if you can get out some real money before reality sinks in. When you contemplate to go to the Crypto Casino of the world, please remember Nancy Reagan and drugs: “Just say No!” If you are a subscriber to a lamestream media business that combines “investing” and buying cryptocurrency in the same sentence without a “NOT” then I suggest you invest in your own future by cancelling the subscription to that corrupted entity.

Dear Friends, We live in a time where even the most outrageous statements and actions fail to raise concern with many people. Today is Presidents Day. On this occasion, I like to share an uplifting, explosive vision that I see in the future. You may have heard how President Trump said in a press conference with Israel’s Prime Minister, that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, but that they will never give it to him. I hope you remember that Alfred Nobel was the inventor of dynamite. It made him rich, and he created the Nobel Prizes as a recognition of outstanding achievements in science and culture. I used a picture from the Inventors Hall of Fame as the canvas for my picture today. For those of you who care to know we are in National Engineers Week that we celebrated from February 16 to February 22, 2025. For those who have studied the Trump Bible I like to remind you of the inspiring story of Saul of Tarsus, later known as Paul the Apostle. He was a zealous Pharisee who initially persecuted Christians. He experienced a dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus, becoming a key figure in spreading Christianity. Like the conversion from Saul to Paul, I see an opportunity where President Trump, the Orange Highlighter of Corruption, will travel on his road to Damascus. He will understand God’s will and that he was saved by God to show us the corrupt direction that leads to climate hell. Humanity stands at a Fork in the Road. As soon as Trump understands his manifest destiny and turns around, he can end the American Carnage, as promised in his first inaugural address in 2016 by unleashing Elon Musk to replace dumb guns with the smart Musk-ET. Trump will also be able to carefully trim the forest of international rules, laws, and corrupt veto power that prevent Justice. At the end of this amazing turnaround story from societal bankruptcy I see Trump being justly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He will share it with www.TheTruthWithHumor.com for valuable guidance that was provided for the turnaround. “ It does not matter if you turn right or left, as long as you turn 180 degrees you will end the American Carnage ”.

Ending American Carnage A powerful source has shared with me that Tesla will soon start to develop a smart gun. My source received numerous concerns from Tesla shareholders on the Private Prayer App. The shareholders worry that the stratospheric Price to Earnings ratio of Tesla, currently at around 177, will not be sustainable considering recent activities of their CEO that make the brand toxic. Emptying the rice bowls of little hungry children in Africa by destroying USAID does not create much sympathy with compassionate people and Christians who are no CINOs (Christian in name only). Sales numbers are dropping precipitously in many markets. My source understands the concerns of the shareholders and agrees to help. In normal times he prefers a hands-off management style, relying on humans’ intelligence to make good choices for themselves. But in light of recent, dark developments in the US he sees a great opportunity to create transformational change to reestablish domestic Tranquility as promised in the preamble of the US Constitution. To end the American Carnage, my source has told me that he will send a business proposal to Elon Musk on the encrypted Epiphany App. The game-, or better carnage-changing, technology will be a smart gun that Tesla can develop very quickly by combining existing video processing technologies from their cars and previous flame thrower projects. With fast image processing technologies and AI, the smart gun will not kill American school children when they scurry away from a dumb shooter that wants to use a gun to take retribution. It will also refuse to be discharged on a suicide attempt. My source will also send an Epiphany App message to President Trump who has shown himself concerned about American Carnage since his first inaugural speech and recently when a plane crashed in Washington. Since the President was saddened by the loss of 67 lives in the first major US plane crash for many years, my source believes that the loss of more than 40,000 lives every year from dumb guns, equivalent to two 747 Jumbo Jets crashing every week, will motivate Trump to declare a National Intelligence Emergency to outlaw Dumb Guns and exchange them for Tesla Smart guns. My source told me that he plans to pardon any unlawful or unconstitutional acts that President Trumps deems necessary for the rapid transformation to a US smart gun society. He is promising a get-out-of-purgatory-free Meme Coin. This quid pro quo can be justified and HIS decisions cannot be appealed to any higher authority. To tickle Elon’s itch with funny word plays, my source proposes to brand the smart gun as the Tesla Musk-ET. He knows that Musk will enjoy seeing his name combined with ET, the Extra-Terrestrial. The name will invoke memories of the musket, the guns from the 17th century when the Constitution was written. They were safer by the fact that it took 20 seconds or more to fire a single shot. That beautiful safety feature made America great. The Tesla Musk-ET will be a massive contribution to Make America Great Again! When asked what he thinks about Elon Musk, my source replied with a quote from the Book of the Highlander: "There Can Be Only One!" You will understand this on May 4th. Godspeed! www.TheTruthWithHumor.com

Dear Elon Musk, I have noticed recently that you have been dedicating your amazing engineering skills in ways that are not really making the world a substantially better place. Emptying the rice bowls of hungry kids in Africa is not saving a lot of lives. You are burying your talents. The landing of rockets was so much more impressive and thinking outside the box. Your Tesla shareholders might also be quite concerned that your recent activities have caused you to be seen as a quite toxic character. That might not be good for Tesla where the price-to-earnings ratio (PE) is high at 177. When we are looking at the money that Tesla earns per year it will take 177 years to that get the money back that an investor pays when he buys a TSLA share today. Who knows how the world will look in 177 years? And who can wait that long to get his money back? There have been even recent reports that the sales of Tesla are going down significantly in other countries that do not appreciate your political activities. With this background, I am thinking about an engineering challenge for you that is more worthy of your talents where you could leverage Tesla technology and save many lives. Every year there are more than 40,000 fatalities in the US from dumb guns. That is a death toll equivalent to more than one hundred 747 crashing every year. In a smart country somebody would be doing something about such an atrocious air safety record. And Congress is unable to do anything about it. Their universal application of thoughts and prayers has failed. I think we can agree that progress is the opposite of Congress, at least in its current low energy, low power form. Would you be able to end this American Carnage be developing a smart gun that will not discharge at innocent children in US classrooms or concert venues? As a branding idea, I like to suggest that you call this smart gun the “Tesla Musk-ET”. This is my word play combining your wonderful name with ET, the Extra Terrestrial. I think both are dear to your heart. We both love wordplays. Let that sink in! Imagine the stellar business opportunity that the replacement of hundreds of millions of dumb guns provides. There is enough profit there to align Tesla’s PE to the PE of regular businesses that do not have the X factor in their DNA. That would get Tesla on a sustainable financial path where somebody else take the helm without the stock valuation collapsing from the stratosphere back to Earth. I think it will be helpful to ask your friend President Trump to declare a National Emergency over the 40,000 US annual gun fatalities to make the exchange of dumb guns with Tesla Musk-ETs mandatory. Ignore Congress. We are tired of their Thoughts and Prayers non-solution. You are at a Fork in the road. You can continue to chase a few dollars of governmental inefficiency by emptying the rice bowls of poor children that are surviving on USAID. Or you can end the American Carnage where Donald Trump promised us that only he can fix it in 2016. We have been waiting. The carnage got worse. Now that you are on the team, I believe that even the impossible is possible. Godspeed, www.TheTruthWithHumor.com
