A dictator doesn’t have to make war. He’s reminding the subjects of his omnipotence by making them hungry, poor, homeless, ill & worse. Don’t forget Epstein. He’s protecting himself & rich perps.

Damn! He was one of the best to do it! Angie Stone passed earlier this year, in March, and they had a child together too! They have now lost two parents in less than a year! RIP.

Or, to put it another way, as long as white Americans take refuge in their whiteness— for so long as they are unable to walk out of this most monstrous of traps-they will allow millions of people to be slaughtered in their name, and will be manipulated into and surrender themselves to what they will think of-and justify—as a racial war.
