The Village Oak Tree

The Village Oak Tree is where the Irish storyteller comes to your digital village to bring you stories from the outside world. Join me every Wednesday as I try my best to find topics that are not plastered all over the main stream news pages everywhere you look. I research news from around the world, that despite not being in all over the front pages, may be important to regular people nonetheless. To wrap things up, I try to add a little imagination to your visit with a short story that might make

2024/07/03

My two friends and I get together and have a roundtable discussion about the major current events in the news feeds from last week. Things like the cluster bomb that, supposedly, was accidently knocked off course and killed several people, including five children on a beach in Sevastopol, Crimea. The Julian Assange drama and what that may mean for journalists around the world. The big one, the disastrous U.S. presidential debate and what that could mean for the citizens of the U.S., plus several

I am starting to make more and more videos and podcast audio files regarding the failing government of the United States. I have been writing about it and posting videos for a few months now and I will be sharing them here with anyone who cares to listen around the world. The U.S. is in big trouble as everyone but the Americans will tell you if asked. As you the audience, what little there is is here, can see in your news in your country, the U.S. is fading fast and I am one of many, many people who

No great loss as I explain.The rest of this short video is my way of stating the quiet part out loud. We are all tired of the corruption in the U.S. government, the lies they are telling us and about the coming recession and how bad it may get.Then I also tell everyone about how the cat 3 hurricane in the Caribbean right now, headed for the Gulf of Mexico.

In this episode, I interview a disabled veteran of the wars in Afghanistan, wounded by a suicide bomber in Kandahar, Afghanistan several years ago now. I asked him about his journey through the military medical system and crossover to the Veterans Administration, and his journey into his current vocation as a public speaker as an inspiration to other veterans, wounded our otherwise.

This episode is another in the series about the end of the United States empire. This week, I offer a prelude short story about what can happen if you try to become a god. Then I get into some of the top stories of the weekend. The cluster bombs that killed innocent Russian vacationers in Sevastopol, Crimea Russia, Israel's refusal to the ceasefire, and the hubris in their thinking that they can take on Hamas and Hezbollah at the same time, with the US backing them up, of course. I also talk about

I have another discussion amongst friends today, this time with an addition to the commentary team. Not only do I have my friend Mitch back again, (I think this is going to be a very regular thing), I have our new friend, Ms. Frances Chiu, a very astute political analyst and noted Bernie Sanders fan. We mostly focus on U.S. politics in our first get together and deal with some minor IT technical issues on the part of Ms. Chiu. But that is what makes this show unique in that we all have internet

I have for everyone a discussion between longtime friends about the things that matter most to average Americans right now. From broken air conditioners to politics. We spend an hour today in a discussion that is more like two friends hanging out, much like any other front yard talk between neighbors and friends. Mitch expressed how much he enjoyed our talk together in this our first talk together and we are planning on doing this again soon. He is an immigrant, and I am a U.S. born citizen of Irish

So, until they join us (hopefully next week), I'll present another commentary on the United States' empire and its gradual decline into history's dust. This week's commentary

2024/05/15

This little over half hour commentary is part of the continuing series of the failing empire of the United Staes. In this segment today, I read a satirical article that describes how commercial the U.S. has become. I read a transcript of the first amendment of the U.S. constitution and offer details on how bad the U.S. looks on the global theatre. The U.S. has made a lot of bad decisions in the last sixty-five years and things don't look good going forward.

2024/05/08

I have an hour long interview with a young man who wrote a book debunking the Christian Bible and to a degree, the Jewish Torah, the old testament chapters to be more precise. We talk about his book and theology as it applies to the Christians around the world in all of their variations of this religious faith. We delve into some ancient history and an encouragement for students of Christian theology to read this book as it is an eye opener. It is short but very informative.

Now that my Mea Culpa is out of the way, let me tell you what happened and a little about this week's show. I had originally planned to have an interview with someone about his book that debunks the bible but at the last minute (after a couple of previous tries), he postponed and that set of a domino effect on the rest of the week's schedule.

Commentary on The Empire of the United States

The Village Oak Tree ·

2024/04/24

Today, I offer you my commentary on the state of the American empire. How it is fading away into the history books, like the empires of old. The Romans, Persians, Ottomans and so on. The U.S. has dug itself a deep grave and, with this latest business of supporting the genocide in Gaza, is now preparing itself for a funeral. Unless the voters can effect some major changes in November, the U.S. will go down in the history books as another faded empire.

I am bringing more agitation towards the western world over their treatment of the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank again. I bash the United States in particular but I also bash the U.K. and the EU for sucking up to the U.S. and enabling Israel to continue with their ethnic cleansing.I decided to talk about this after the events in the news last week over all the furor when the IDF killed those food aid workers. It took the deliberate targeting and murder of these seven people for Biden and

In this week's show, I interview Russell K. Jack, who wrote "Is MAGA a Terrorist Movement?" We talk about his background and why he wrote the book. Also, I ask him about portions of the book as it applies to U.S. voters ahead of November's elections. Come in out of the rain and watch the show to get an idea of what's going on and what, as a voter, you can do to prevent an autocratic takeover of the United States government in 2025.

The MAGA Slow Revolution

2024/03/13

My editorial is all about the MAGA revolution taking place right under the American noses. Quite a few people are all in it, without really knowing what they're into. it will be too late by the time they find out. No do over's sorry. This is not a video game where you can log in and go again. Listen to what I have to say and decide for yourself. What kind of government do you want to live under? Fascism or a theocratic oligarchy? You need to make up your mind by November 2024.
