It was only a week ago today that the destruction of America began and what a hell of a week it’s been. From the many moves this administration has put into effect in just the last week, it is obvious to me that the tRump plan is not to govern – the plan is to rule. Trump has openly admired authoritarian figures, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Viktor Orban, and his plan is to become a ranking member of that club. These calculated moves are right in line with the authoritarian playbook written by Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Putin, Jong Un, et al. The playbook shows that the plan starts with small, incremental steps leading up to the Coup de grace. Wear the citizens down with continual lies and misinformation; label the press as “the enemy of the people”; create fears that immigrants are ruining the country; spew allegations that the country’s democratic system is corrupt and rigged; get rid of watch dog oversight protections or fill those positions with lap dogs; put people into positions of power who are loyalists to the King or totally incompetent; stack the courts with loyalists; go after your political opponents via your Justice Department; and finally use the power of pardon to create your own paramilitary for protection and to suppress dissent. This all starts off with a “soft launch” and gradually erodes the country as these corrupt practices become normalized. Do you see similarities to what is happening in Merica right now? ‘Week One ‘ we have seen 1,600 Trump loyalists pardoned for crimes they committed on Insurrection Day 2021. They now owe the “big guy.” ICE has become the new Gestapo as they have started rounding up undocumented immigrants and begun the deportation process, having been given the ‘green light’ to also enter schools and churches to seek out their prey. About seventeen Inspectors General, the watch dogs, were fired on Friday night with a two sentence email, which was basically “you are terminated. Thanks for your service.” This action was done unlawfully, as Congress was not given the 30 day notice required by law, but who knows if it will be litigated. Birthright citizenship was ‘scrapped,’ but as I wrote about in my last post, was temporarily blocked by a federal judge. Two incompetents were confirmed for key cabinet positions who will not run their departments independently, but instead follow the whims of their boss. In the midst of a new dangerous virus, the Bird Flu, with the risk rising that it could become a human pandemic, Trump pulls the US out of the World Health Organization. Smooth move Ex-Lax. RFK better get confirmed soon to take care of this situation before eggs become $12.99 per dozen. Anyhoo, we need to continue to pay attention to this playbook and counter the oligarchs, MAGA’s, and other dictators with our own plan. If not, the man sent by God to save us, is going to destroy us.
Today happens to be Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day to remember the 6 million Jew’s that Herr Musk’s idol sent to Auschwitz. Remember, history repeats itself.
I’m sorry I can’t bring any more happiness to you to begin this week, so I will bid you adieu and go read the next chapter in the biography of Adolf Hitler. Stay safe and remember that popcorn day is still coming. Ziggyman
