I’m really struggling to find the motivation to continue writing. The bottom line is I write to get my frustration with the government of my country “out.” I started this “blog” (if that’s what it is) back toward the end of the Bush/Cheney regime due to my frustration with their willingness to authorize TORTURE – not to mention the STUPIDITY of their LYING “we the people” into an illegal invasion of Iraq. As a member of the American High School “class” that came of age during the Viet Nam fiasco the invasion of Iraq was, to me, “Deja Vu all over again.” It’s like our leadership class has a difficult time processing history – seemingly being determined to relive previous fiascoes.

I’ve pointed out NUMEROUS times since Trump “won” the 2024 election that “we the people” were about to be forced to endure the Project 2025 “strategy” of “flooding the zone. Of course, my point in ALL those rants, was this is how Trump and the puppet masters (Project 2025 authors) would cause “we the people” to spend our time of political observance “chasing our tails.” That is, going around in circles as we fight back against Trump’s and his puppet master’s goal of turning the U.S. into a country with a FASCIST government.

Despite those who are political observers constantly finding issues where Trump and his sycophants have brazenly violated the constitution many of them took an OATH to defend, the “Trumpers” could care less. They don’t believe in our constitution – other than the parts of it which might support a slice of their agenda. Clearly, the percentage of Americans who’ve actually read the Project 2025 manifesto is minuscule. I watch, occasionally, MSNOW and I haven’t seen much evidence the “hosts” of their daily agenda have read the manifesto. Along with virtually every person involved in America’s so-called “liberal media,” for example, I constantly hear the word “authoritarianism” as they attempt to understand Trump and his masters – apparently fearful of actually using the term FASCISM.

I’m presently reading “Hitler’s First 100 Days” by Peter Fritzsche and the parallels between the “Third Reich” and Trump 2.0 are eerie. I won’t go into details, if you’re interested, there is a plethora of books out there which I submit would make it clear to you what I’m writing about here. (Including the book I just referenced) One obvious example would be the FACT Trump’s “ICE” thugs resemble Hitler’s “Brown Shirts” in multiple ways, including the color of their “garb.” Attempting to rule based on FEAR is nothing new according to history. The difference between the resistance in today’s world and that of “yesteryear” is the internet and the so-called “smart phones.” Americans would have been assured, for example, that Alex Pretti was a “radical left wing agitator” who was killed in self defense by the ICE murderers. Same for Rene Good. Without cell phones and their ability to make video recordings no one would know any difference. Americans understand you can’t believe a word coming out of Trump’s mouth. The assault on Minneapolis hasn’t removed the issue Trump wants to go away.

I, like MOST Americans, have been paying attention to the “Epstein files” and observing ALL the ways Trump is working to prevent Americans from discovering the extent of his involvement with Epstein over the space of 15 years or more. The evidence I’ve seen suggests their (Trump and Epstein) CLOSE relationship began at some point in the 1980’s – based on one of the accusations that Trump allegedly sexually assaulted a teenager – an alleged attack occurring in the mid 1980’s (that the DOJ is hiding – makes me wonder what they’re don’t want the public to see).

For all the people who are unable to “put 2+2 together” by making inferences based on the publicly available reporting on the internet they will have to wait for complete compliance with the Congressional bill supposedly forcing the DOJ to release ALL the files with the only redactions being to protect the identities of the survivors/victims. (Don’t hold your breath) In the files released on January 30th and prior Trump is mentioned something like 38,000 times in the space of 3 MILLION files which are full of redactions protecting perpetrators while exposing the identities – in some instances including home addresses, phone numbers, etc. – of the survivors/victims. When Jamie Raskin looked at the unredacted files he said Trump’s name comes up over one MILLION times. Yikes!

And, remember there are another 3 MILLION files the DOJ is refusing to release. Why could that be? Over a year ago people were predicting the files would be “scrubbed” of any information “incriminating” Trump (I agreed) and, well, here we are. What could Trump possibly do to get all the questions about Epstein pushed to the back of the journalistic pages? Why do you think Trump moved a massive amount of military POWER into the Middle East? Why do you think the U.S. has been moving her citizens out of the region over the past few weeks? OK, the answer is now obvious; Along with the Israeli’s (more likely because of the Israeli’s) Trump has ordered a coordinated attack of Iran. That SHOULD definitely get him a Nobel Peace Prize – especially when you consider his ordering “boat people” in the Caribbean to be murdered. This time it was 150 or so elementary school girls. Do I have Trump “derangement syndrome?” (looks probable!)

The question now becomes; Will this invasion of Iran result in a prolonged war causing the U.S. to verify it’s now totally “on board” with Vladimir Putin? I mean, what do Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump have in common with Putin? I would surmise they make a chummy group of FELONS who need to keep their nations embroiled in war so they can avoid facing accountability for their alleged CORRUPTION. Putin is the master, Trump is groveling while trying to gain Putin’s approval, and Netanyahu is putting off his own accountability that was imminent on the day HAMAS invaded back on October 7th two plus years ago. Netanyahu has been dreaming of this day for 40 years. One thing all THREE of these men have in common is their focus on “number one.” Despite occupying offices that would suggest a focus on public service, they each are expert at focusing on themselves. The lost lives are simply “the cost of doing business.”

Do I hope for the best for the people of Iran? Yes, whatever that might be because there are a plethora of factions in Iran and I wonder how they might pull together and form some kind of government that they all can agree to. Do I believe Trump has any idea how this might come about? Absolutely NOT. Trump’s justifications are simply a bunch of LIES (what else is new) – his explanations continue changing by the day. The reality is this is the second time in my lifetime (Iraq was the first) the United States has invaded a sovereign nation. Supposedly our military has been formed as a deterrent NOT to be used for aggressive invasions of sovereign nations. (OK, it’s the third time – with Viet Nam being the first – therefore Iraq was the second. What is clear, our leaders haven’t learned a damned thing from any of this)

It’s pretty hard for Americans to be criticizing Putin for his ILLEGAL invasion of Ukraine when Trump is on his second ILLEGAL invasion of a sovereign nation in the past month or so. I was angry with Trump’s abandonment of Ukraine via his groveling up to Putin, but, now, I feel for the Ukrainians because help coming from the U.S. seems unlikely while we’re “bomb, bomb, bombing Iran.” (Not to mention, Trump claimed he’s now “running Venezuela.”) With Russia bogged down in Ukraine and, NOW, the U.S. bogged down in Iran (and, theoretically, Venezuela) How do the people of Taiwan feel?

I mean there have been reports of China’s plan to “annex” Taiwan for years, but they apparently didn’t want to get in a war with the U.S. Well, things change don’t they? What do you think Trump is going to do if China invades Taiwan and claims it as a Chinese territory – like Putin in Ukraine? It seems to me Taiwan is the next victim of the “big three” world powers. It almost looks to me as if Trump is laying the groundwork for China to take over Taiwan with nary a whimper coming from our so-called “Department of War” under the incredible leadership of Pete Hegseth. The way this is all playing out is very sad to me and the Trump administration is coming across as an embarrassment. European leaders had better pick up the pace of supporting Ukraine. Putin’s “dream” goes well past the Ukrainians. He wants to reconstitute the former Soviet Union.

However, I believe one of the main goals of Trump and his puppet masters is being accomplished by declaring war on Iran. Only time will tell, but my guess is Epstein is headed for the back pages as I suggested above. Not only has Trump (and, of course, Netanyahu – who I believe dragged Trump into this fiasco) likely miscalculated the Iranian response to this attack (so far, six members of our military are dead) I believe his appointment of incompetent people to head up our institutions is likely to come back to “haunt” us. For example, just last week Kash Patel (the beer guzzling head of the FBI) Fired about a dozen members of the FBI’s counter terrorism group focused on Iran. Does anyone out there think Iran may be planning some kind of attack here on U.S. soil? We assassinated their “supreme leader,” what do you believe they may be thinking as “retribution?” (one of Trump’s favorite words)

Does it make you feel safe knowing that Trump is at the helm as America goes into another Middle East war? Maybe we’ll see “TACO Trump” in action and when he realizes how this will affect the Stock Market and inflation (energy prices already spiking) he’ll try to back out – find a way to leave “with honor.” Seems a long shot to me – there’s already been enough damage to cause the Iranians to be REALLY mad! Not only was their “Supreme leader” killed, but apparently several dozen of this close associates. But, that’s not all – a GIRLS elementary school was bombed – killing about 150 mostly children from the ages of 7 – 12. My guess is there are MANY Iranians seeking revenge.

Trump has shown what an ignoramus he is by his messages on his Twitter copy of a social media app – wearing a baseball cap and dressed very casually – one of the messages posted at 2:00 AM on Saturday where he said something like, “There could be casualties, they say that happens in wars” – those aren’t his exact words but, “come on man” he’s the so-called president – although he is a 34 times FELON and he’s proving (once again) he’s willing to CHEAT in order to get his way. He’s likely setting the stage for an attempt at canceling the next election. In the book I’m reading which I mentioned above the Nazi’s made it clear, once they were in POWER, there would be no more elections – there was no need for elections in the future. (They were actually thinking of the next 1000 years). I shudder at all the parallels with Trump’s regime – I understand Trump doesn’t read, but, it’s hard to think all the parallels are just coincidence. And, remember (f)Elon Musk threw a couple Sieg Heils at Trump’s inauguration with nary a whimper from the Trump supporters – not to mention our “liberal media” hasn’t mentioned it hardly at all – certainly not recently. Stay tuned……

Final Thought: The Oligarch class in America is slowly putting a noose around our “liberal media.” Musk with Xwitter, Zuckerberg with Meta (includes Facebook, Instagram, and What’s app), Bezos with the Washington Post (which he very well may destroy), Larry Ellison and Rupert Murdoch taking control of TikTok, Ellison now is in control of CBS, it’s parent company Paramount and, now, CNN via taking over Warner Brothers (which includes HBO among others) plus there’s Sinclair which likely operates the local news where you live. These are all right wing media outlets. And, it’s becoming suffocating.

There’s also Peter Thiel who heads up Palantir – the company leading the way on “snooping” on “we the people.” (And, other nation’s people around the globe) Like Musk, Thiel is an immigrant who has become a “naturalized” U.S. citizen. Now, I haven’t seen Thiel throwing Sieg Heils but he was born in Germany and he spent most of his early youth living in a German section of South Africa that supported the Nazi’s. He has openly stated a disdain for “democracy” and, all these oligarchs seem to look at our constitution as an irritant. They are a large part of the “engine” pushing the Project 2025 agenda. There are of course many more BILLIONAIRES connected to Trump – I hope they’re all “outed” once this national nightmare ends so they can receive their “just rewards.” To me, the irony of all this is the people who voted for Trump 2.0 continue(d) to believe Trump would “drain the swamp” when, in reality, Trump is the head of the swamp.

One more thing: Trump’s hanging banners of his image from various buildings in Washington DC is one of the parallels to Hitler and the Nazi takeover of Germany in 1933. Just sayin….

I have to add: Speaking of Oligarchs and their money I hope the next president (after Trump) tears down the (now) $400 MILLION (and rising) ball room and rebuilds the East Wing of the “White House.” First, getting permits, of course.
