1 Donald Trump's 'Celebrity Apprentice' High Profiles Bush-Obama National Security Abdications viz. Chinada Medievalism and Services the Canadian Lawyer s International Persona The Canadian s treatise title, The Last Democratic Fiefdom, was chosen because from all that had been academically analyzed and observed and experienced over a quarter century there is no doubt that many characteristics of medieval Europe are and continue to be present in how the country is governed. Explaining to public sector edification recipients beginning in late 2007 what Canada was in non-transparent political, judicial, law enforcement and corporate environments began with this description: The purpose of the March 2004 created title was to underscore that while Canada appears to its citizens and the rest of the world to be a mature and attractive democratic country, that is only true for those whose lives and interests don t intersect with the domestic and foreign policies, agendas and objectives of nation s most politically powerful and economically affluent. Where they do there is only serious, blatant and protracted abuses of political power, no respect for human rights and no institutions in which accountability is attainable. A fiefdom is a medieval state of governance in which the rulers are absolute and who perceive the entire country and everything in it as belonging to them alone as of right. Power and wealth are only for a small parasitic elite and are the exclusive domain of the eliteconnected. Privilege and upward mobility are determined solely by birth and the closest of kinship ties. Patronage is an important component because it not only extends the degree to which governors can govern, but also keeps otherwise potential rivals placated with benefits, advantages and rewards. And, the ruling elite treats citizens as mere chattels; who are enslaved, indentured to serfdom into that which benefits them and the state; having not only no concern for the dignity of the human being, but also occasionally taking delight and feeding their sense of absolute power by inflicting pain, suffering and death. When circulating his research to those outside the territorial boundaries of Chinada, he introduced it with this: The title to the treatise The Last Democratic Fiefdom is a result of what was discovered and experienced about how the country s system

2 of government evolved over two centuries. The title intentionally incorporates an oxymoron since Europe s medieval paradigm of governance is the opposite of what a modern democratic state is. It also argues how this most evolved member of the Commonwealth ought to be the only remaining mature State to have shed its precolonial heritage. Canada may look parliamentary on the outside, but on the inside it s technically a totalitarian state, i.e., total control of all federal and provincial departments and agencies by a small tight-knit elite and where the police are its enforcers and judicial, administrative and media accountability don t exist whatsoever at the intersection of consolidated political power, plundered wealth and the secret alliance with the Beijing leadership. Donald Trump and his co-producer on the series, Mark Burnette, chose a medieval theme for one of the tasks assigned to the 2012 contestants; broadcast on February 26 th. This sought to high profile that which both the Bush and Obama administrations ignored in favor of pursuing unlawful and improprietous policies and practices not caring that this devolved ideology would spread across the planet as Beijing became more imperialistically successful. One of the contestants was attired in prison certainty and quantum which again juxtaposed what the Canadian is entitled to and what is going to happen to his enslavers, experimenters, torturers and deprivers. And another one wore a quantum colored jousting outfit with a dragon crest, which represented China s leadership and its liability to him for what they did over a two plus decade period.

4 During the boardroom scene Mr. Trump is surprised at the project manager s choice for those who ought to be in the multi-billionaire s line of fire when considering who to expel from the competition. The answer to Why? is Because they are such phenomenal actors and such big stars I m not sure every challenge we do will use those features; and other people seem to be ah, have talents I don t know about yet and may be more versatile. Edited in during the answer is a back-row contestant executing an embellished Powell M. one that indicates the coalition is going to decimate the Chinada High Command. The motive for this is to highlight how the Canadian has so proven himself over the years to be a competent partner that there should be no surprise when he continues to be during future stages of reform and accountability.

6 The week before during the program s season opener the Canadian s international persona was serviced in a manner that s been observed throughout the years. During the boardroom scene Mr. Trump asks: Who is your biggest star? Who is the one that really attracted the crowds? Cause you have a number of them that are all big, all iconic. At iconic one of the contestants executes a Clooney M..
