Today’s Muse (not amusing) by Michel

The danger of misinformation. The danger of promoting hate based on race, misogynism, homophobia, anti-Semitism.

Please review what happened in the 1930’s and the 1940’s were these hateful propaganda machines were instituted by the Nazi regime, i.e. with the Völkischer Beobachter (please look at the referenced links below).  This was an instrument of propaganda to keep their hateful message alive.  Are we there already with Breitbart?

Stephen Bannon, the Executive Chairman of Breitbart News has now become the Chief Strategist for President-Elect Trump.  If you take the time to look at the equivalencies you should BE FRIGHTENED.

Of course, the deniers will say I am going too far.  I would like to tell them one of my favorite sayings and that is “you cannot be a little bit pregnant”.  Pregnancy starts with one egg fertilized and then divides itself into a full human being or animal.

Last but not least, my final Muse, please review the Bertolt Brecht play called the Resistible Ascension of Arturo Oui.

The last sentence of this play, which shows how a being a right wing movement morphed into the most hateful regime on earth, came to be and how they were destroyed.

Unfortunately, at the end of the play an actor comes and says the following “Don’t rest well, the animal who gave birth to this monster is still very fecund”
