This episode of Londinium Chronicles was broadcast live yesterday on YouTube, X, and here on Substack.
Join us this Sunday at 6PM EST on Substack for another live broadcast.
The Imperator has been busy posturing in a way that is impossible for me to read right now. The most recent posturing by the Imperator is a series of images suggested by artificial intelligence: one with the Imperator kissing a golden crucifix, the head of Jesus.
Another is the Imperator leading a band of revolutionary soldiers, a torn flag above him saying “onward.”
Another is the Imperator, half of his face and then half of George Washington’s face, and it’s developed so that they look like the same person.
Another is the Imperator sitting at a table looking at his 12-year-old self when he was in a private military academy.
And finally, a picture that looks genuine of the emperor getting out of a golf cart, looking every bit 80 years old and exhausted.
These are confusing images, but I present them now because this is the way the Imperator in the 21st century chooses to communicate to his supporters. According to the polling in the 21st century, his support is very small. In fact, only Richard Nixon at this time in his presidency had lower support, and Richard Nixon was within days of resigning the presidency.
So we’re looking at unknown territory for pollsters. The interpretation is that even the MAGA are doubting the emperor—some percentage of MAGA, right. I set all this up because Germanicus is going to help us understand what the incredible shrinking Trump presidency means to the rest of the planet, given a competition for refined petroleum products. Refined. I’m emphasizing this isn’t about a barrel of oil. This is about the refineries being able to turn out the aviation fuel we need, the gasoline fuel we need, and the diesel fuel Europe needs. They’re running at full capacity, but they’re not keeping up.
