I recently enjoyed the Ken Burns Biographical documentary of what some call our “Founding Scientist”, Benjamin Franklin thanks to the excellent productions of the Public Broadcasting Service, it was excellent and was researched competently in depth. Attributes sorely lacking in the current Regime’s “governance”. It reminded me of what the framers of the Constitution were particularly attempting to prevent, the replacement of our rule of law by a Tyranny of Men which they had just won a revolution fighting against. I’ve heard that the 10th Federalist paper studies this danger, in particular the deception of the people by a populist Demagogue like Donald the Chump, our “Felon in Chief” hypocrite of Mammon.
The brilliance of the Madisonian “Balance of Powers” between the three equipartitioned parts of the Government did not anticipate that two of the branches would collaborate with a tyrannical executive thru yielding their rights & powers to such. The obsequious Johnson House & mirror image prostituted Senate under the Maga majority has given up all sense of duty or responsibility to the American People in order to maintain their personal position, thereby serving the special interests of the excessively wealthy individuals and Corporations almost exclusively. The natural “backstop” that should come into play in such circumstance is; however, also completely compromised by the Racist Roberts Court majority who has turned our “Elections” into an auction for Billionaires thru the absurd Citizens (dis)United declaration that Corporations are citizens and that the influence of Mammon (Money) plays no part in a democratic Election and should therefor NOT be regulated in any meaningful way !!! The second part of the Roberts/UncleThomas/Alito anti-Constitutional Courts’ Treasons against the rule of law was, of course; their declaration that “the Wrong Side won the American Revolution”, i.e. that the Chief Executive is IMMUNE from almost any restraint on his Tyrannical exercise of power. This will surely be seen as the most Treasonous action since Benedict Arnold or Jefferson Davis when this era’s History is analyzed. The most recent step towards fascism by this (Shadow Docket Kangaroo) Court is castrating the Judiciary of this Nation thru lack of Universal Injunction power to restrain a criminal REGIME, leaving all final decisions to only be decided by the six extremist right-wing power addicted majority of their own singular panel. Which panel seems to be highly influenced by the super-rich who make excessive gifts which have NO oversight of ethical concerns whatsoever. By the way, I believe in this executive term, the proper description is a neo-fascist REGIME, not any constitutional Administration !
An example of the tyrannical abuse of power occurred immediately when the Felon-in-Chief (convicted on 34 Felony counts) pardoned hundreds of violent criminals who attacked the Capitol on January 6th 2021 - which he would have participated in if not restrained by his more coherent staff- after which 5 Police Officers died within a week along with hundreds of seriously injured some of whom will suffer for the rest of their lives. His infliction upon the “Government of the People” of a foreign Nazi simpleton who knows next to nothing about deep Science or Governmental realities has done extensive damage to this Nation and World, the truth of which will not be known for years, and whose theft of Citizen’s private information is completely opaque. Could not the minority true Americans in Congress delegate the National Security Agency - NSA - (or some patriots within such) to investigate exactly WHAT and HOW MUCH of our personal data has been extracted for sale to the Chinese or whomever Musk can prostitute his info to for the highest bidder (like all whores operate) ? Curious that Russian hackers know the Doge-Bags’ sign-in passwords for the National Labor Relations Board according to an npr/ CNN report from a few months ago. Also curious that the Chump has taken Putin’s side on EVERYTHING since becoming his money laundry-er decades ago. However, when he seemed to wake up to the fact that Vlad had been playing his “Useful Idiot” (KGB manual phrase) like a fiddle and complained about his lies, lies, lies that the Kremlin’s #1 puppet Tucker Carlson all of a sudden like seemed to turn against MAGA’s “dear Leader” for some “unknown” reason.
Amazing how so-called Evangelicals have been SO deceived by a serial Woman molester who’s been accused by 25 and probably guilty of another 25 who are too intimidated to come forward yet who was documented to have told over 30,000 LIES in his first term. Character Assassination on-line by the terabyte can brainwash the lazy minded, for sure. Any who actually seek The Truth however should recall from the scriptures that “WITHOUT (Scientifically truthful) VISION, THE PEOPLE PERISH “ as the innocent children & others who died in Texas because the G(reed) O(iled) P(arty) serve Mammon Corporations by ignoring Climate Change prophecies by Scientists for 40 years in order to maintain their profit margins at the absolute maximum ! For hip-hip-hypocrites a “Mighty Mammon is their God” $$$
Who needs an adequately staffed Weather Bureau anyway ? YOU DO, FOLKS !
And who can use the predictions of an adequately funded NOAA research Climate Calculation Division/University funded Research Programming competence ? YOU CAN, FOLKS !
Another relevant phrase from the Scriptures is to “BEWARE OF THOSE WHO MAKE LONG PRAYERS IN PUBLIC PLACES TO BE SEEN OF MEN, WHO IN SECRET COMMIT GRIEVOUS SINS, perhaps for 30 pieces of Silver. Another relevant classic quotation from President John Kennedy (I believe from a source in India) is a warning that THOSE WHO SEEK TO RIDE A TIGER TO POWER SOMETIMES END UP INSIDE IT ! The Maga hypocrite who claimed he would expose the evils of Jeffrey Epstein seems to have been “hoist by his own Petard” to quote another warning to hypocrites. (Petard is a sort of Bomb). Many are puzzled as to how the Chump has bungled his response to the Epstein (lack of) Revelations so badly. It seems clear that he has already achieved all he really wanted from political “success”: 1 he has escaped Justice to stay out of Jail where he has belonged for half a century, 2 he had his puppet Congress pass a Bill to rape the Treasury for the super-Rich (while further harming the Lord’s downtrodden), and because of these “accomplishments” he no longer NEEDS support of the Mega base whom he deceived regarding exposing the “evil Democrats” who are obviously the source of all ills, and his Alzheimer’s degradation is obviously making his third-rate abilities much diminished but finally, he is succumbing to the damnation of all Dictator/Tyrants = the MEGALOMANIA delusion that he actually BELIEVES the propaganda which spews out of his sick mind (ie he’s a competent Genius whom all the people “love”). This is, after all the fool who filed for Bankruptcy SIX TIMES (which means he canNOT learn from his mistakes) currently destroying the global economic system, driving up Inflation (if not Stagflation) who just wasted tens of millions on his Birthday parade to celebrate the fact that his Viet-Nam Draft dodging “Bone Spurs” healed (before they ever formed). Yes the fearless leader whose “stable” policies coined the term TACO will now lead the GOP/MAGA whores to demonstrate whether they follow his lead as RACOs and MACOs who “Chicken Out” when their constituents are screaming for exposure of the Epstein Files (which, of course do not implicate a life-long sexual predator in sexual predation of underaged, troubled girls his good friend molested for decades, y’think ??) One wonders how many Mega fans are experiencing “Buyers Remorse” by now. And how many more will after the destruction of our already flimsy social “safety net” kicks in, for real by next year.
One of the MOST fundamental rights that everyone enjoys in this country is one which I am exercising right now, that is of course the freedom of speech. I petition my government for redress of grievances whenever I observe troubles in the Country or World which I believe should be remedied for the good of myself, my family, my neighborhood, State, Country or indeed our entire Species of Human(e) Beings in this age of Nuclear Extinction possibilities if incompetence is allowed to destabilize Humanity’s precarious balance between the illusion of Sovereign Nations and the necessity of peaceful coexistence with All God’s Children (or fellow Homo sapiens inhabitants of this Planet) as one may perceive. Having studied the 3 major Monotheistic Religion’s scriptures as well I find issue with the current Israeli Government’s hypocrisy in ignoring the Mosaic Law restraint on vengeance to 1 life for 1 life by breaking such 55 fold over since the October 7 evil/stupid slaughter of innocent Israelis. I have, and have the right to express such concern publicly, AND any other inhabitant of this Country also has said right, however; the current Regime under Donald, the Chump does NOT respect said Constitutional Rights as demonstrated by the arrest of a Fulbright Scholar female and Graduate Student male recently documented in the news. Also a nearby neighbor of mine across the Potomac River in Maryland was deported to an inhumane Prison complex in El Salvador, illegally along with a few hundred other immigrants who have been documented to have NO criminal record for 2/3’s of those kidnapped in said manner - by payment to the fascist government of El Salvador of millions of dollars which Chump’s Regime LIED about for months. He abused a law which pertains only to INVASION by foreign GOVERNMENTS in his lies about what “justified” such criminal activity. One wonders in an alternative world where Justice actually obtained in this country these days whether our 34 count Felon-in-Chief might not be sent to CECOT by God’s true Just Justice ??? Also, having been a Human Rights Advocate since Jean Donovan/Ida Ford & 2 other Nuns were molested and murdered in El Salvador after which the “moral” Reagan did NOTHING to restrain the “escuadron de la muertes” (Death Squads) the current Salvadorean Government should be shamed out of office ! (El Diablo is honored and El Salvador is weeping, again, no duda). The attempted expulsion of the Columbia University Grad Student for “anti-semitic” activism is also insanely hypocritical by a Regime who sends it’s President of Vice and Nazi Musk to Germany to campaign for today’s Nazi Party in the elections this Spring !! Have they NO SHAME ???
De-naturalization of the Maga extremists should be considered given their anti-Constitutional Rule-of-Law activities demonstrate NO attachment to Constitutional Principles, I believe is a legal possibility !!! The parallels of Nazi-Yahoo and Donald “the Chump” have nothing to do with any moral dimension, they both; however DO destroy Democracy in Israel and America solely to keep their carcasses OUT OF JAIL , for sure, fer sure……………
