“Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides.”

Andre Malraux

Who would the author of this quote, if he were alive today, name as examples of it?

Anyone who knows about Hitler’s descent into catastrophic madness in the last 12 months of WW2 - saying the German people deserved to die because of insufficient fealty to him - should be prepared to thwart Trump’s increasingly…erratic…behavior.

“Herein lies a riddle: How can a people so gifted by God become so seduced by naked power, so greedy for money, so addicted to power, so slavish before mediocre and treacherous leadership, so paranoid, deluded, lunatic?”

Phillip Berrigan

“The great enemy of freedom is the alignment of political power with wealth. This alignment destroys the commonwealth- that is, the natural wealth of localities and the local economies of household, neighborhood, and community - and so destroys democracy…”

Wendell Berry
Christian pacifist farmer

“Dictatorships are never as strong as they think they are, and people are never as weak as they think they are.”

Gene Sharp - author of “The Politics of Non-Violent Action” and other works used by the Czech resistance to Soviet tyranny in 1968

Where are the Epstein Files?

Hitler, when learning of the Danish King Christian’s wearing a yellow star on his uniform in solidarity with the Jewish citizens of his country:
“Denmark is the canary with the eagle’s claws.”
Are you listening, are you paying attention, DJT?

“What I want to bring out is how a pebble cast into a pond causes ripples that spread in all directions. And each one of our thoughts, words and deeds is like that.”

Dorothy Day
Catholic Worker and a Saint,
but not yet canonized.

My sympathies are for the hunted, not for the hunters.

“Every nation-state tends towards the imperial - that is the point. Through banks, armies, secret police, propaganda, courts and jails, treaties, taxes, laws and orders, myths of civil obedience, assumptions of civic virtue at the top.”

Daniel Berrigan, priest and Christian Anarchist

Nothing like having a president and cabinet who are continually behaving like a group of toddlers going through the “terrible twos”, and never mind who they hurt or kill or condemn to misery while they scream “It’s mine! Gimme gimme gimme!” and continue to shred what’s left of this country’s honor.

Lara Trump talking about the reimposition of mandatory military service is a complete joke. But I must admit I look forward to her volunteering for enlistment as a demonstration that she not only talks the talk, but also walks the walk.
Mind you, I’m not holding my breath…

The latest attempt to distract us from the nauseating contents of the Epstein files:
Covert operations in Greenland, attempting to subvert that nation’s sovereignty as a genuine democracy and force its citizens to grovel at the feet of the tinpot dictator and his Russian controllers.

Watched the 18 minute diatribe by the fools gold whackadoodle yesterday. Utter fantasy, trying to persuade everyone of his non-existent brilliance before the invasion of Venezuela, an operation encouraged by his Central and South American lapdogs. Regime change idiocy- not that he grasps that.

For Pistol Pete and all the lickspittles who mindlessly follow his illegal demands:

A saying by American parachute infantry during WW2:

“You may think you’re hot snot over Tokyo, but you’re cold shit in the Ardennes.”

Commentators keep telling us that Trump is enacting global strategies concerning Europe and their enemies.
Trump has become a mouthpiece for Vance, Miller, Musk and others who actually create their perverted fever dreams and then manipulate him into presenting them to the world while they laugh.

The new National Security Policy paper published by the Trump administration shows that the power behind the fool’s golden throne is Stephen Miller, puppeteer and sociopathic Christo-fascist. A thoroughly loathsome bellend.

“The buck stops here.” President Truman’s remark made into a sign he had on the resolute desk in the Oval Office.
Under the demented whacka doodle now squatting there, it means something entirely different.

Quoting a genuine liberator of Venezuela:
“The United States appear destined by Providence to plague America with misery in the name of liberty.”
Simon Bolivar

Stalinists.
Hitlerites.
And now the latest addition to this partial list of blindly devoted lemmings to a demented dictator:
Trumplicans.

The Epstein distraction wheel is slowing down…and it looks like the pointer is going to stop on “Invade Venezuela”.

What’s the next distraction aimed at everyone calling for the full and complete release of all Epstein tapes and files?
Spin the wheel:
Invasion of Venezuela?
Of Columbia?
Destruction of the rest of the White House?
Place your bets. (But only in approved bitcoin.)

Enough of all of this obscene nonsense. Time to play ruthless hardball. Bullies understand nothing else.

The saying “America is going off the rails” doesn’t begin to describe what has happened.
The train has left the tracks completely because the engineer doesn’t know how to get to the destination or make the engine work, babbling nonsense while pulling levers as though working a slot machine.

On the old peasant’s diet now and for the immediate future until (if ever) SNAP is reinstated: water, lots of potatoes with a little bit of butter, carrots, the very occasional egg, with chewing gum as a snack.

Interesting parallel between Hitler’s obsession with wrecking Berlin’s capital buildings and replacing them with absurdly grotesque and outsized versions, proclaiming they would last 1,000 years, and Trump’s destruction of the White House and addition of a arch celebrating his grotesque ego.

To the men and women proclaiming their faith while employed in ICE: when you die and stand before God to be judged, what will you say about what you did, and how will you justify it?
More importantly, what to you think God will answer in return?

Why does Stephen Miller look like the love child of a xenomorph and Vladimir Putin?

“Leadership means firmness, not harshness or bullying; understanding, not weakness; justice, not irresponsible freedom; humaneness, not intolerance; generosity, not selfishness, pride, not egotism.”

Omar Bradley, General of the Army

Are you listening, Hegseth?
