Trump/Putin/Osama Bin Laden

Some Reflection…….

Where is this world going? Didn’t we learn anything from World War II? The United Nations was allegedly created to avoid the repeat of atrocities. Humans never learn. Look at atrocities committed in Africa, Asia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Ruanda, and Syria now.

In the Art of War, Sun Tsu clearly indicates to inflame the passions which create the excuse for war. Our new administration seems enamored with dictators whether it is Erdogan (Turkey) or Vladimir Putin. Vladimir is projecting himself as the protector of the White Christian race. The old right in the United States wanted the same thing, i.e. us, i.e. white, against the rest of the world. This is following the playbook of Osama Bin Laden making us enemies of all Islam, so Islam can unite itself and strike back at the infidels.

I believe, President Obama was right to try to not fall into that dangerous escalation. This is why he has tried not to get engaged too much in the Middle East and named all of Islam as terrorists.

Can you imagine one and a half billion people united against the rest of whites? They will have access to atomic bombs in Pakistan and rogue states like North Korea, not to mention Iran. This is an apocalyptic scenario. I do hope that the sane republican and democrats will stop this suicidal plan.

Also do not forget that the Muslim World dying for a cause is the ultimate reward in paradise. They would really welcome the end of the world. Do not fall for this scenario.

Please write to your senators like Marc Rubio, Lindsay Graham, John McCain and the more adult part of the Republican Party to stop this march to Armageddon.

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”
