Reflections from the Heart of the Empire on the 84th Anniversary of World War II in Europe
84 years today, many Poles woke up to see something like this:
The Polish regime at the time was Fascistic, bellicose, and overconfident.
History often rhymes, and it is rhyming again in Warsaw
The national government that has provided the most immediate, useful support to working class American citizens on Maui has its capital in Budapest, not Washington.
Hungary shipped modular homes that can be assembled in as little as half an hour, and many have already arrived.
The same Hungary castigated in the liberal press as being lead by a right-wing populist, homophobic Putin-lover.
Lahaina, Hawaii now looks like this:
Oprah Winfrey recently went to Maui to celebrate her purchase of 4000 acres of land.
I predict a strong Hawaiian independence movement will appear in the next few months.
Bernie Sanders is a craven fraud who has done more damage to the process of creating a working class movement in America since Barack Obama. Confining such a thing to the oligarchical Democratic Party is the ideological equivalent of sending it to the gulags.
Krystal Ball and Kyle Kulinski are grifters who made the mistake of thinking that latching on to Marianne Williamson’s book tour disguised as a presidential campaign would increase their social media audience share and make them another fortune.
Oops.
Dennis Kucinich is still loyal to the Democratic Party, even after they worked with Republicans to gerrymander his congressional seat out of existence and insulted him for decades.
Cornel West says he is going to reach out to Trump voters in small towns and rural areas. He also says Donald Trump is a “neo-Fascist,” and that Joe Biden is a “milquetoast neoliberal.”
Cornel West needs better voter outreach than that.
Donald Trump is not a Fascist of any sort. He’s a carnival barker born into money whose only concern is his own self-image and aggrandizement.
Joe Biden is an actual Fascist because he is a corporatist, or one who believes that corporations and government should merge in order to rule society.
Benito Mussolini would be proud of the Democratic Party of 2023.
If Cato was alive today, he would end every speech by shouting, The Democratic Party must be destroyed!
Cato would be more correct about that than he was about Carthage.
And I am off to Pittsburgh for a couple of days to visit a college buddy of mine I haven’t seen since Reagan was President, an old Texan who has lived in both Russia and China. Maybe he can provide some interesting perspectives.
Thanks for reading and have a great weekend.
I love it! This is valuable information painting a picture we should all be studying carefully!
My hope is your friend will recover soon, and you can visit him then. It is always interesting to talk with people who have first-hand knowledge of a place, person, or event.
As far as Cornel West goes, there is no way he is going to be elected. The business community will not stand for it. His cover are his religious beliefs, meaning he is being directed by a higher being. That is how George W. Bush attained national recognition. Even Donald Trump attempted the same by just holding up a bible. West, with his religion in hand, will not sway the Evangelical Christianity for many reasons. Mainly having to do with economic class and top down power. West purpose is to be a (wishful) voice.
Others running for the Presidential Office seems to be in lock-step with corporate power or some other drawback. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is one of those in the “Other” category. His outlook on the Middle East is missing points to the extent of being convoluted. As for the Republicans, they want to all go into Mexico with a contingent of the Marines to take over the government and all mineral rights under the guise of, “The War on Drugs!” One is just sad, the other is sadly laughable.
As Donald Trump goes, is showing the clown he is by making a stupid face while getting a mugshot and putting it on a tee-shirt. It is true that Trump is being lawfare six ways to Sunday. One article and/or investigation of the corrupted Joe Biden, another trail date for Donald Trump. It is my hope the prediction by Tucker Carlson of Trump being assassinated does not come true. Upon an event of that nature, the U.S.A. and many other parts of the world will become ungovernable.
Speaking of assassinations, the Biden Administration blocking RFK from Secret Service protection while campaigning is truly chickensh*t. This shows exactly what kind person Biden really is.
Now speaking of Biden, he is doing his best to burn the world down to the ground, both locally and abroad. At the same time, while paying up to many (toxic) industries, Biden is pissing off a lot of people. The idea of Kamala Harris doing heavy lifting and the road trip of a campaign effort is a strategy of failure. Harris is the last person the U.S. Public want to hear from. My feeling is Biden's own legal problems and an inability to campaign will bring an end to his lifelong public service. But, Democrat's will not stop there, they have too much invested in the global dominance initiative under a complex bullsh*t narrative. If the narrative collapses, so does the power play. There maybe a last substitution of Biden for Gavin Newsom (or someone like him) in the works.
