STUPID, RECKLESS, DELUSIONAL FOLLY

Mayor Rudolph William Louis Giuliani, born May 28 1944 was once a respectable member of American society. After successfully fighting mafia bosses in The City of New York, he was elected as mayor of New York City in 1993 and reelected in 1997. Following his generally efficient response, while he was mayor, to the catastrophic emergency of September 11, 2001. Not only did he receive an honorary knighthood from The Queen of England. He also gained a place of honor among America’s pantheon of heroes and even became affectionately known as America’s Mayor. For a brief period of time during 2017 at the height of the Mueller Investigation. He gained special notoriety for his efforts to defend and provide a legal hedge around then sitting president Donald J. Trump.

Mayor Juliani is the grandson of Italian immigrants and was born in the New York City borough of Brooklyn to Harold and Helen Giuliani. In 1951 his family moved to Garden City, Long Island where he attended a local parochial school. Although he ran for president in 2008. He dropped out after disappointing showings in the first few primaries. He married twice. His first marriage to Regina Peruggi was annulled in 1982 after he learned they were second cousins. He married Donna Hanover in 1984. Although criminal activity was decreasing during the second half of Mayor Dinkins’s tenure. That downward trend gathered momentum under Giuliani. Under his leadership, violent crime in the New York Metropolis was halved and murders decreased by an impressive 67 percent. (Paraphrased from History.com)

A believer in the so-called “broken windows” theory, which holds that minor signs of disorder can lead to an increase in serious infractions, Giuliani also cracked down on graffiti, public urination, X-rated theaters, sidewalk vending, subway turnstile jumping and even jaywalking. Moreover, he implemented a computer-based crime measurement system called CompStat that was later replicated by police departments nationwide. (History.com: Rudy Giuliani November 26, 2019).

Giuliani was educated at Manhattan College (A.B., 1965) and New York University (J.D., 1968). Beginning in 1970, he worked for the U.S. government, holding positions in the office of the U.S. attorney and in the Department of Justice. From 1977 to 1981 he practiced law privately, but in 1981 he returned to the Justice Department as associate attorney general. In 1983 he was appointed U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. Early in his political career, Giuliani became affiliated with the Republican Party. After being narrowly defeated in 1989, he won election as mayor in 1993, the first Republican to hold the position in two decades. He promised to reform the city’s finances and to crack down on crime, and he was credited with success in both areas. (BRITANNICA: Rudy Giuliani).

With such an excellent academic profile. With an impressive list of professional achievements along with accompanying fame and notoriety. It’s difficult to fathom how New York’s former illustrious Mayor could have participated in actions that were not only crazy and shady in many instances. But in several others were most likely criminal.

The hair coloring melting down the sides of his face while he declared long-dead Venezuelan caudillo Hugo Chavez caused President Donald Trump’s election defeat made one thing clear — Rudy Giuliani is no longer “America’s Mayor.” The accolade Giuliani earned for his calm fortitude in leading New York City after the September 11, 2001 attacks has dissolved in a series of increasingly bizarre claims that Democrats, the media, and yes, the late Venezuelan dictator, had robbed Trump of reelection.

The former president had no solid empirical reason to believe that he was actually defrauded of victory. In the 2020 presidential general election. However, he trumpeted those lies far and wide and prominent, educated, successful people such as Mayor Giuliani embraced them and did all they could to propagate them. Despite the fact that appropriately qualified and experienced individuals such as Mr. Cristopher Krebs warned: “That the 2020 Election was the safest in U.S. history.” Furthermore, the sitting Attorney General, Mr. William Barr advised the country, “That there was no fraud that could have affected the outcome of the 2020 election.”

But this was not the only piece of malfeasance in which Mr. Guiliani was involved. There are now important legal questions and even a full-scale criminal investigation by The Department of Justice. Regarding all of his activities in Ukraine.

Federal investigators on Wednesday seized cellphones and computers from Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City who became President Donald J. Trump’s personal lawyer, stepping up a criminal investigation into Mr. Giuliani’s dealings in Ukraine, three people with knowledge of the investigation said. F.B.I. agents executed search warrants around 6 a.m. at Mr. Giuliani’s apartment on Madison Avenue and his Park Avenue office in Manhattan, carting away the electronic devices, Mr. Giuliani confirmed in a statement. The execution of search warrants is an extraordinary action for prosecutors to take against a lawyer, let alone a lawyer for a former president. The move marked a major development in the long-running investigation into Mr. Giuliani, which examines some of the same people and conduct that were at the center of Mr. Trump’s first impeachment trial. (The New York Times, Updated May 4, 2021).

As if all of the above issues did not constitute a full plate of problems for ‘America’s Mayor.’ It is presently being alleged that Mayor Giuliani is the author of the plot to use fake electors to subvert the duly certified electors appointed by each state and sent to Congress.

Trump campaign officials, led by Rudy Giuliani, oversaw efforts in December 2020 to put forward illegitimate electors from seven states that Trump lost, according to three sources with direct knowledge of the scheme. The sources said members of former President Donald Trump’s campaign team were far more involved than previously known in the plan, a core tenet of the broader plot to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory when Congress counted the electoral votes on January 6. Giuliani and his allies coordinated the nuts-and-bolts of the process on a state-by-state level, the sources told CNN. One source said there were multiple planning calls between Trump campaign officials and GOP state operatives, and that Giuliani participated in at least one call. The source also said the Trump campaign lined up supporters to fill elector slots, secured meeting rooms in statehouses for the fake electors to meet on December 14, 2020, and circulated drafts of fake certificates that were ultimately sent to the National Archives.

As fallible human beings, we are well aware of the fact that people will screw up and make mistakes from time to time. But how is it even possible that someone with Mayor Giuliani’s education, judgment, and experience would repeatedly, like a recurring decimal, fall prey to so many egregious and criminal blunders? Even a high school student would have enough common sense to stay far from the gaping chasms that ensnared Rudolph William Louis Giuliani. Is it any surprise therefore that we are repeatedly warned in scripture to, “Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life…” (Deuteronomy 4:9 NKJV).

Having successfully prosecuted many notorious felons and sent them to prison. Our Mayor should have learned firsthand over a period of many years that as The Master Himself asserted,

“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14. (NKJV).

These are eternal principles. They are not subject to change, or alteration, and they stand as immovable as the Rock of Gibraltar with the passage of time. However, this is not all that The immortal Son of the infinite God contended. He also claimed,

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” Matthew 24:35. (NKJV).

Accordingly, all that he stated should be studied, contemplated on a daily basis, treasured, and implemented in our daily lives. Because like the constellations of the heavens they endure from age to age and from generation to generation. The All-Mighty Son of The eternal God also underlined His teachings with a solemn promise,

“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” Matthew 7:24-27 (NKJV).

You attended Church school, Mayor Giuliani. I’m absolutely certain that you were taught these sacred principles of TRUTH. What happened to you, sir, did you forget them? Because all of your actions during the course of the last five years are typical of a man who is the victim of stupid, reckless, delusional folly.
