Dr. Anthony Fauci, TRAITOR Trump, and 1 Million Dead Innocent Victims Of Covid 19

 

I have Dr.Anthony Fauci's recent memoir, "On Call: A Doctor's Journey in Public Service", on my desk right now and actually did something I rarely do and didn't read from the front to the back. I actually began with the section on Covid and Fauci is totally honest in what he has to say about TRAITOR Trump. It is very enlightening. I should also say, in the spirit of full disclosure, that I spent many days at NIH in the mid to late 1990's, two to three trips a year, a week at a time because my wife was a patient there. I met people at all levels of NIH from food service, maintenance, and grounds keeping up to one director of one of the institutes. Everything about NIH is personal to me. I never met anyone there I never liked and respected. Many of the greatest medical and scientific minds in the world work there and Dr. Fauci was one of them. He could have left 20-25 years ago for a multi-million dollar salary with a drug company and stayed because he was committed to making the world a better place. He tells a story in the book about receiving a white powder in an envelope at his desk in the middle of Covid and what he and his family had to go through because of it even though it was nothing. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Dr. Fauci received that, and many other pieces of hate mail and attempts at intimidation, because of the words and deeds of TRAITOR Trump. My knowledge of NIH and the people who make it one of the greatest medical and scientific institutions in the world on a daily basis was one of the most productive learning experiences in my life, a life in which I have consistently moved from one learning experience to another in an attempt to make myself a better, better educated human being who might be worthy of making some contribution, however insignificant, to make the the world a better place. 

So, with that preface, let's now examine what I learned from reading that section of Dr. Fauci's memoir, that 66 page story about his efforts to help the world win the war against our most recent plague, Covid 19, and his deeply personal disclosures about how TRAITOR Trump impeded that effort on a daily basis which complicated the lives of every employee of NIH and endangered the lives of every citizen of the United States and, ultimately, the world. Dr. Fauci begins his section on Covid 19 with a description of events which occurred in a meeting at the White House on January 29, 2020, at a time when Covid infections in the US had just passed the 7,700 mark and 170 victims had already died. He describes how TRAITOR Trump, whom he consistently refers to with the totally undeserved honorific "President Trump", came into the meeting and began to butter him up, as has always been TRAITOR Trump's way until he decides to move on to sooner or later denigrating anyone he has previously flattered. But, in the spirit of what has always been Dr. Fauci's absolute honesty, he moves on to say that "...he shocked me on day one of his presidency with his disregard of facts such as the size of the crowd at his inauguration. His apocalyptic inaugural speech had also taken me aback, as had his aggressive disrespect for the press." (Fauci, page 346) 

It is also very pertinent to know that meeting in which Dr. Fauci first met TRAITOR Trump took place on January 29, 2020, because NPR reported on May 2, 2020, that TRAITOR Trump was told in intelligence briefings on January 23 & 28, 2020, that

"...the coronavirus was potentially going to 'spread globally,' " the official said of the first briefing, which came two days after the first case of the virus was reported in the United States...Five days after that initial briefing, the president was briefed again, according to the official. This time, he was told the virus "was spreading outside of China, but that deaths from the disease were happening only in China," the official said. (NPR, May 2, 2020, https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/05/02/849619486/trump-received-intelligence-briefings-on-coronavirus-twice-in-january)

Just the day before the meeting in which Dr. Fauci met TRAITOR Trump for the first time, TRAITOR Trump had been told that Covid 19 was likely to "spread globally".  At that January 29, 2020, meeting he was also told that 170 US victims had already died.  Obviously, information about Covid 19 was moving and changing rapidly, but what any well run White House is supposed to be best at is gathering, analyzing, and making decisions regarding fast moving crises of any kind.  From January 20, 2017 to January 20, 2021, the White House was anything but well run which has been reported on by every ethical news agency in the world thousands of times.  Dr. Fauci then reports that on February 25, 2020, Nancy Messonier, the head of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said in a conference call with reporters that "...a pandemic in the United States was no longer a matter of if but when and that we should prepare to do things like close schools and work remotely...The media erupted.  The stock market plummeted, and President Trump was furious." (Fauci, Page 358) 

At that point, TRAITOR Trump had a choice to make about Covid 19, and he had two options: 1) he could and should have chosen to listen to the best scientific minds in America and begin to do what they were telling him, or, 2) he could just ignore the scientists, do nothing effective about Covid 19 in a vain and murderous manner which was intended to protect an economy which his tax cuts for the rich was already destroying.  His choice to do that later resulted in the unnecessary deaths of more than a million innocent American victims.  Yes, we would have been likely to have a relatively mild epidemic of Covid 19 no matter what the official response was.  But, it is highly unlikely that we would have had more than a million deaths if the response had been competently directed from the White House and left in the hands of the scientists throughout the decision making process.  It is highly likely that the great majority of the victims would have survived.  

Dr. Fauci then moves on in the book to discussion of how the Covid 19 Task Force which was being headed by Vice President Mike Pence was operated.  "Vice presidents are always publicly loyal to the president.  But, in my opinion, Vice President Pence sometimes overdid it.  During Task Force meetings, he often said some version of "There are a lot of smart people around here, but we all know that the smartest person in the building is upstairs.  He was of course talking about the man sitting behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office." (Fauci, Page 359)

We all know what price Mike Pence paid for that misplaced loyalty on January 6, 2021.  Dr. Fauci then goes on to describe a telephone call he received from TRAITOR Trump a few days later: 

"What I did do during our twenty minute conversation about Covid 19 was to lay out the facts.  I encouraged him not to underplay the seriousness of the situation.  "That almost always comes back to bite you, Mr. President," I said.  "If you are totally honest about what is happening with Covid, the country will respect you for it."  (Fauci, Page 359) 

We all know that didn't happen, don't we?  At no time in his life, has TRAITOR Trump ever been totally honest with anyone about anything anytime anywhere.  The misrepresentation of a deadly disease and its potential destruction of the country and the world had only just begun.  TRAITOR Trump was now in his favorite and most beloved arena, the creation and propagation of lies, prevarications, fabrications, misrepresentations, and delusions which would become more and more bizarre as the bodies piled up, refrigerated trucks became morgues, and the country began to watch our loved ones dying.  Dr. Fauci then discusses some of the bizarre ways in which TRAITOR Trump responded to a situation in which he proved on a daily basis that he was unfit to be in the position which Russia's election tampering had placed him.  On page 365 of the book, Dr Fauci says

"And so with the ghastly reality setting in that COVID was not going to go away, Trump began to grab for an elixir that was going to cure this disease.  Along came hydroxychloroquine...The fact was, however, there were no clinical studies proving that this antimalarial drug would help people.  And it might hurt them.  The president seemed unable to grasp that anecdotes of how hydroxychloroquine might have helped some people with COVID did not translate into solid medical advice.  This is when I realized that sooner or later I would have to refute him publicly."  (Fauci, Pages 365-366) 

Farther along in page 366, Dr. Fauci then discusses the way TRAITOR Trump has always attacked and denigrated members of the press corps. 

"...even when I did not know the journalists the president insulted, I was still taken aback by his behavior.  I was also concerned that my very presence at the lectern or sitting against the wall of the press room would be interpreted as acceptance on my part of his behavior."(Fauci, Page 366)

Those two sentences clearly demonstrate the differences between a consummate professional scientist like Dr. Anthony Fauci and a blustering, aggressive, argumentative, and ignorant individual like TRAITOR Trump especially when such an individual is in a position for which they have always been horribly unqualified and never actually attained in a legal manner.   After that discussion of TRAITOR Trump's abuses of many of the best, most professional journalists alive, Dr. Fauci goes on to become more direct in his assessments of the horrible failures of TRAITOR Trump in the remainder of the COVID section of the book.  He then moves on to a time late in the fall of 2020, as the presidential election campaign was in full swing and says

"By this time, the virus had infected more than 9 million Americans and killed 230,000.  New daily cases were hitting record highs.  But out on the campaign trail, Donald Trump insisted, "We're turning the corner.  We're turning the corner.  We're rounding...the curve.  We will vanquish  the virus."  (Fauci, Page 406)

Thank God, the American people realized what was  happening.  They knew the country was dying, one COVID case, one beloved relative at a time.  President Biden was elected on November 3, 2020, and sworn into office on January 20, 2021.  To misquote former President Gerald Ford "Our long national nightmare was over."  Now in 2024, we are once again facing the most important and most dangerous election in our nation's history.  We have a choice to actually, for the first time, to elect TRAITOR Trump to the highest office in the land, and create God only knows what future disasters which could well make the COVID epidemic look like only a warmup.  TRAITOR Trump has already proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is unfit to hold any position of public trust at any level.  God Help Us, if we make that fatal mistake and allow him near the White House again. 

 

 

The Upcoming Second Insurrection!

The attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, was an Insurrection, Domestic Terrorism, Sedition, and Treason.  It was fomented, led, and caused by TRAITOR Trump because, for the second time, he had lost an American election after having been installed in the White House by virtue of Russia having stolen enough votes in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania to tilt the electoral vote count in their favor.  They failed in their attempt to do that in 2020, and TRAITOR Trump incited the attack on the US Capitol in order to try to stop the constitutionally mandated count of electoral votes which is the final step in the certification of an election in the United States.  January 6, 2021, was an attack against the United States by enemies of the United States, and incited by the second worst living enemy of the United States, TRAITOR Trump, in support of the absolute worst living enemy of the United States, Vladimir Putin, who owns and controls TRAITOR  Trump.  When the 2024 presidential election is over, the votes are counted, and the electoral counts are referred to the congress for certification proving that TRAITOR Trump has actually lost his third consecutive election in America, he will already have done the work of inciting that Second Insurrection, and he is actually engaged in setting the stage for it on a daily basis today since he knows full well that he cannot legally win an election in the United States.  TRAITOR Trump has already stated on May 2, 2024, that he will not commit to accept the results of the upcoming presidential election unless he is declared the winner.  TRAITOR Trump has already worked with the Right Wing Radical Repugnican Election Board in Georgia to have them institute a set of new rules for counting the votes which will allow them to bring about the unlawful counting of votes, the manipulation of the vote count, and the illegal declaration that TRAITOR Trump has won the election in Georgia.  He will also attempt to commit other acts of election sabotage in swing states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada.  He is now faced with the likelihood that he will also lose North Carolina since his hand picked candidate for governor in that state has been caught on an internet pornography website describing himself as "a black Nazi".  Their little ship of dreams is sinking fast in North Carolina.  When the November 5th election is over, the votes are counted, and the truth is out, TRAITOR Trump will once again incite an Insurrection against the legally constituted government of the United States of America. 

So, the question becomes what do we do to avoid the theft of another US election by TRAITOR Trump and his allies, both Russian Hackers and American Fascists?  First and foremost, every American must go to the polls and vote for Kamala Harris for president of the United States.  Secondly, between now and the election, we must confront the ignorance and TREASON of TRAITOR Trump and all his supporters every time we hear it no matter whom we hear it from or where we hear it.  We must get others registered as Democrats until the last day to register in the state in which these unregistered voters live.  We must then get those newly registered voters to the polls and be certain that they are voting for Kamala Harris for President.  And, when TRAITOR Trump begins his Second Insurrection, we must work with the legally  constituted government of the United States to hold TRAITOR Trump and every one of his supporters responsible for their crimes in any such Second Insurrection.  We must not allow any questionable acts in support of his Second Insurrection by TRAITOR Trump or any of his supporters to go unconfronted by the legal authorities of the United States of America.  When this Second Insurrection begins, we must demand that President Biden immediately order the arrest of TRAITOR Trump and any of his allies who engage in this Second Insurrection.  We must demand that they receive a constitutionally mandated and protected SPEEDY TRIAL, conviction, sentencing, and imprisonment for their crimes.  When such a Second Insurrection has been dealt with in this manner, it will be clearly understood for many years in America that such an insurrection by TRAITORS, Insurrectionists, Domestic Terrorists, and Enemies of The United States will not be tolerated, minimized, or swept under the rug.  IT WILL BE GREAT! 

Will This Be Our Last Real Independence Day?

 

Today is July 3, 2024, and the United States is  facing the most grave danger of being destroyed as a nation at least since Pearl Harbor.  What is even worse about this impending disaster is that the grave danger is within our own borders, centered in the 6 justices on the US Supreme Court who voted to give a convicted felon, Russian Agent, TRAITOR, serial sex offender, tax cheat, career criminal, pathological liar, and idiot a free pass on having incited the greatest insurrection in the history of our nation, having stolen and attempted to retain hundreds of classified documents which are clearly the property of the US government and no one else.  It is also centered in and led by that very same convicted felon, Russian Agent, TRAITOR, serial sex offender, tax cheat, career criminal, pathological liar, and idiot.  We are living the prediction of Nikita Kruschev when he said " We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within."  That dire prediction from the former Russian leader is being personified in the Russian Agent this country allowed to live illegally in the White House for 4 years after having committed TREASON with Vladimir Putin and Russia.  Just a few days ago one of this country's greatest historians and writers, Timothy Snyder posted a list of "50 Reasons..." why TRAITOR Trump owes a debt to Putin and Russia.  And, according to Snyder, every one of those fifty acts is documented in the public record.  That list of events which Snyder has provided includes occasions on both sides when money has changed hands between TRAITOR Trump and Russian people, probable intelligence agents, and entities, occasions when TRAITOR Trump has done political favors for Russia including the time shortly after he was allowed to enter the White House that he turned and brought the Russian Ambassador and a Russian (Translation: FSB, Russian Intelligence Agents) into the Oval Office. Those Russian agents were the only videographers and sound technicians in the Oval Office during that visit.  What do you think they were doing?  It also includes the deal for useless real estate in Florida for which a Russian paid nearly $100Million dollars, an amount vastly greater than the land's worth. There is also a great deal of credible intelligence that TRAITOR Trump has laundered an untold amount of Russian money through his companies.  Many Russian citizens also have bought units in the many condominium buildings he has built.  Timothy Snyder has been warning the US and our citizens about TRAITOR Trump for several years and his excellent little book, "On Tyranny", is one of the best examples of his many warnings.  But that book and read it closely!  It is small but it is a very important book in today's world.

Over the years since that horrible day in June 2015, when TRAITOR Trump came riding down that gold elevator at Trump Tower spouting the outrageous idea that he was fit to be the leader of the free world, I have written extensively on this blog about the grave danger he and those around him present to the country.  I know that a few people have listened to me and, hopefully, hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of others have listened to the American heroes and heroines like Timothy Snyder, President Biden, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, and all the other members of the January 6th Select Committee.  But we are still faced with the horrible possibility  that the same TRAITOR who has constantly exposed himself to be exactly what all of us have been saying he is, was, always has been, and always will be might actually manage with the help of Russia and other enemies of America to once again occupy the White House even after the Supreme Court has proven they are owned by the same enemies of the country which own him and that they will never make an effort to stop him, hold him responsible for his thousands of crimes, and will actually assist him in his efforts to destroy America for his Russian owners.  We cannot allow that tragedy to occur to the greatest country in the world. He must be stopped both at the ballot box and in the courts of the nation. He must be held responsible for his crimes.  He must be convicted, sentenced, and imprisoned or the nation will not survive.  The greatest democracy in the world will have fulfilled the prediction of Nikita Kruschev that they will destroy us without firing a shot, that they will take us from within.  We must vote, we must educate other voters, we must take them to the polls if they cannot drive, we must carry our lap tops to their homes and help them register and vote if they cannot leave home.  We must hold him responsible for every destructive action he and his followers have taken to destroy this nation.  We must ensure that democracy is restored to and never again endangered by traitors and agents of other countries.

My New Baseball Cap!

 

Today's blog post will be short and sweet.  I wore my new baseball cap to town today, actually two towns, West Liberty and Morehead in Kentucky.  I wore it in our local pharmacy, our local chain gas station, and through the drive through at Dairy Queen.  Then I traveled to Morehead and wore it as I walked at the local cemetery where I met two other men walking, to the local Wal Mart, and through the drive through at McDonald's.  I even went to the sporting goods counter at Wal Mart and bought two boxes of .22 long rifle ammunition.  I engaged several people in brief conversations and no one said a word about my new baseball cap which took me somewhat by surprise.  I had thought that surely someone at the sporting goods counter might decide to express their mistaken opinion about it.  I was actually disappointed to tell you the truth.  I love to confront ignorance and I never even got the opportunity.  Maybe next time because I will be wearing it whenever I go in public at least until November 5, 2024.  

The 78 Most Dangerous Days In America...

 

The full title to this blog post is actuallyThe 78 Most Dangerous Days In American History Since Pearl Harbor and we are currently in the middle of those 78 days which means that I should have posted this piece on November 4, 2020, as soon it was apparent to all rational Americans that Joe Biden was the winner of the election held the day before.  I had actually been predicting the serious levels of danger to America which would arise after a Biden win as early as July or August in 2020 as soon as the majority of polls began to show that Joe Biden was amassing an insurmountable lead in public opinion.  To anyone with any level of psychological or psychiatric training, it has always been apparent that TRAITOR Trump was a very dangerous, criminal, and totally self-serving person.  So the question for those of us with such knowledge immediately became how will this man who is a malignant narcissist at best and an antisocial personality disordered individual at worst respond to the loss of the power which he had gained by virtue of his TREASON with Russia and Vladimir Putin.  It has always been readily apparent to all such trained people that TRAITOR Trump would respond as he always does to differences of opinion with his own mistaken beliefs that he would become increasingly more dangerous, more unhinged, and begin a steadily escalating series of attacks on anyone he believed had been responsible for his defeat and on America, American Democracy, and the entire free world as he draws nearer and nearer to the day on January 20, 2021, when he will be removed from the scene of his four year crime spree and be in imminent danger of federal prosecution for those crimes up to and including TREASON with Russia and Vladimir Putin.  

 

 

On a daily basis since November 3, 2020, we have seen TRAITOR Trump commit a series of steadily worsening acts against all the targets of his self-serving and virulent ire.  He has steadily refused to acknowledge his defeat, refused to concede the election (actually his second lost election),  daily used his favorite tool of stochastic terrorism to further incite the menagerie of Right Wing Radicals who blindly support him, attacked state officials in every state which Joe Biden won, and induced his lawyers to file a long string of unjustified and unsuccessful law suits against those states and those officials.  He has also issued a steady stream of highly questionable and likely unconstitutional executive orders to alter and damage the American government, encouraged the head of the General Services Administration who is known to be one of his loyal minions, to refuse to acknowledge Joe Biden as the president elect and to give him and his incoming administration access to the federal government, fired numerous federal officials who would not blindly support his fantasy that he had actually won an American election, and ceased to do anything except play golf at government expense and work to support his effort to cling to the power which he and Vladimir Putin stole four years ago.  

 

 

As I said above, as much as five or six months ago, I began to predict a series of dangerous actions I could foresee TRAITOR Trump taking after he was defeated in an American election for the second time.  That list of potential threats to America included 1) a long series of highly questionable and likely unconstitutional executive orders which we have been seeing carried out; 2) a series of pardons of his key conspirators which has begun with the pardon of Former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn who is one of the direct connections between TRAITOR Trump and Vladimir Putin, the discussion of an attempt to even pardon his children and himself, and discussion of possible pardons for several more of his co-conspirators; 3) further stochastic terrorism and incitement of the Radical Right which he has been doing on a daily basis since November 3,2020; 4) further efforts to destroy the government and weaken various agencies whose missions are in conflict with his criminal interests and this has been occurring with the firing of several federal employees who have disagreed with TRAITOR Trump and this has resulted in the firing of the head of election security who refused to support his claims of election fraud; 5) further looting of the federal treasury which we cannot prove has been ongoing until Joe Biden is actually inaugurated and investigations of TRAITOR Trump's crimes can begin.  Nearly all of these crimes which I foresaw are happening on a daily basis since the election on November 3, 2020, and they will continue and actually escalate until the inauguration of Joe Biden on January 20, 2021.  These are the 78 most dangerous days in American History since Pearl Harbor and, at this point, we have no idea how much further damage will be done between now and inauguration day. 

 

 

If all this disaster should end today, this country will still suffer from the TREASON of TRAITOR Trump for decades to come.  The damage to the federal judiciary, especially the US Supreme Court, will last for as much as a half century based on the age of the appointees TRAITOR Trump and his co-conspirators have been able to place in judicial positions.  Numerous federal agencies such as the State Department have been deeply damaged with an exodus of experienced employees and the unwarranted firings of others.  We cannot rule out the possibility that TRAITOR Trump can still manage to start an unjustified war somewhere in the world, most likely against Iran.  We cannot rule rule out further outright TREASON with Vladimir Putin and Russia including the passing on of voluminous state secrets, identities of American intelligence agents and non-citizen intelligence assets around the world which could result in the deaths and neutralization of numerous agents, double agents, and cooperationg foreign citizens.   We cannot bet that America will ever be safe again because for four years we have allowed a Russian Agent and American TRAITOR to claim to be the President of The United States. 

A Second Interesting Encounter With A Second Physician!

About a week ago, I posted on this blog about an interesting encounter I had with a physician who works as a department chair in a major American hospital.  Amazingly, I had a second such encounter with a second physician who is also a department chair at a major American hospital.  I was having a very interesting and satisfying week.  The first encounter occurred on Monday, September 14, 2020.  The second encounter occurred on Thursday, September 17, 2020.  The circumstances which led to both encounters taking the tack they did were nearly identical.  I had meetings scheduled with both doctors and was still reading the same book, John Bolton's "The Room Where It Happened", on both occasions.  I had expected to be required to wait at various times on both days and was trying desperately to finish reading Bolton's book so I could be free of it.  I had begun the book several weeks ago and had actually completed at least two other books while I was trying to complete the onerous task of reading it.  I had actually described it to the first doctor as being similar to taking 21 day rabies shots which used to be administered in the abdominal muscles each day for three whole weeks.  I had carried the book into both meetings and laid it down on the table next to me with the spine upright and facing the chair in which the doctors sat.  In my first post, linked above, the doctor had seen the book and immediately asked me what I thought of it and also stated that he had read about 80 pages of it and become so disgusted with it that he had laid it down for good.  Then we entered into about a ten minute conversation solely about our identical views of the book, John Bolton, and TRAITOR Trump.  

As I said above, for the second meeting I laid the book down on the table next to me with the visible spine facing the doctor's chair just as I had in the first encounter.  The second doctor immediately also asked me what I thought of the book.  I also told this doctor exactly what I thought of Bolton, his book, TRAITOR Trump, and the entire band of co-conspirators who assist him.  The second doctor also immediately agreed with my views but stated that he had known all along that he did not need to read the book and had never chosen to start it.  Our conversation lasted probably fifteen minutes on the subject of our identical political views, and the doctor stated his fears that American Democracy itself is in danger from TRAITOR Trump, a statement with which I totally agree.  At the end of this fifteen minute conversation, we went on to other matters.  But when we had concluded our discussion of the real subject of our meeting, this second doctor returned to the subject of politics and their fears for the country if Joe Biden is not elected president.  We talked politics again for about five more minutes and as we were heading out the door, the doctor stated, "I would literally vote for anyone before I would vote for..." to which I responded "I would vote for the town drunk of West Liberty (my hometown)" to which the doctor responded "I would also vote for the town drunk of West Liberty".  Then they initiated an elbow bump and we went down the hall in opposite directions smiling and laughing.  

While I was very pleased to encounter two very well respected doctors in America today who are willing to discuss their opposition to TRAITOR Trump openly while on duty, I am also deeply disgusted that it is necessary for any of us to have to feel the myriad emotions of disgust, distrust, fear, acrimony, and loathing which are fully appropriate toward TRAITOR Trump and those who support and enable him all  way from the most illiterate and mislead member of some small, dangerous right wing radical hate group to Vladimir Putin and his hackers in Russia.  America, American Democracy, and American style democracy are all in danger world wide if Joe Biden does not win this election.  We have been in the hands of the world's worst TRAITOR for nearly four years and we must bring this tyranny to an end on November 3, 2020.  But never forget that when Joe Biden wins this election on November 3, 2020, the most dangerous 78 days in America since Pearl Harbor will have begun.  After the election loss, TRAITOR Trump and his co-conspirators will wage a never ending war, both day and night to destroy America before Inauguration Day on January 20, 2020.  There will be a plethora of unconstitutional executive orders, further widespread looting of the federal treasury, generalized attempts to damage and destroy all regulatory agencies in the federal government, massive witness tampering and intimidation, and outright unmitigated TREASON on every front literally until the doors of the White House and all other branches of goverment are closed to these TRAITORS forever with the inauguration of President Joe Biden.  

America, We Must Turn This Into Democratic Votes!

For nearly two weeks, we have seen some of the largest and generally most peaceful protests all over America in support of what I consider to be basic human rights for all members of American society including, African Americans, LGBTQI people, immigrants, and all minority groups in general.  We have seen several police officers charged with serious crimes up to and including murder involving blatant abuses of power in incidents which generally involved African America subjects but two officers have been charged with second degree assault in an incident involving their pushing and seriously injuring a 75 year old white man. We have also seen the current TREAONOUS occupant of the White House order potentially lethal force to be used against peaceful demonstrators so that he could use a church for a photo op without permission from  and against the wishes of the bishop who oversees it.  We have also seen TRAITOR Trump call for the use of active duty military against American citizens which, to my knowledge, has not been done since the Battle of Blair Mountain in Logan County West Virginia in 1921.  We have also seen the White House ringed with two miles of heavy duty, high wall fencing and razor wire.  In response to all these incidents, we have also seen nearly every city in America, no matter the size, staging peaceful protests in support of human rights and in response to the increasingly more tyrannical outbursts of TRAITOR Trump when he wasn't hiding in the concrete bunker below the White House.  There have even been demonstrations in tiny towns in some of the most conservative states in America.  All of this is great and has been productive of criminal charges against a few rogue police officers; some cities have seriously changed police policies regarding handling arrests and confrontations with citizens; several police chiefs and police forces have interacted very peacefully and positively with demonstrators;  and many public officials have spoken out against inhumane treatment of citizens by police officers. 

But all of this will have been in vain if the end result is anything less than a massive increase in voter registrations for the Democratic party, and unless those registrations are translated into votes in November 2020 which result in the winning of both the White House and Senate for Democrats.  Every demonstration in America should also be utilized as a point of entry to register as many Democratic voters as possible.  Every demonstration should have a designated group of people who are assisting unregistered citizens to register as Democrats and that group of people should also use the demonstrations to educated those unregistered citizens about the entire electoral process.  Every church and civic organization in America should also be working to register Democratic voters.  Every registered Democrat should we working individually to register as many voters as possible.  We should be holding events directed at teenagers to register them as soon as possible as Democrats and educating them about the electoral process.  We must win the White House, the US Senate, and as many governorships and other offices as possible in the next election and every other  election to follow.  Only if we have political control of both the White House and the state houses from sea to shining sea can we ensure that the progress which has been made in the last two weeks.  As an example, in Kentucky we were able to elect Andy Beshear to the governor's office in 2019 and yet allowed the rest of the statewide ticket with the exception of the lieutenant governor  to be won by Republicans.  That is unforgivable and has saddled Governor Beshear with an attorney general and a secretary of state who have both worked consistently to resist progress, disenfranchise voters, and impede progress in all areas of living in the state.  We cannot allow that to happen to Joe Biden when we elect him.  We cannot allow that to happen in another state house in America.  We must register every voter we can and we must ensure that they vote in all future elections for the entire Democratic ticket.  If we do not, everything that has happened for progress in the past two weeks will have been for naught. 

“Why, this far into the twenty-first century, are we once again talking about Fascism?  One reason, frankly, is Donald Trump.  If we think of Fascism as a wound from the past that had almost healed, putting Trump in the White House was like ripping off the bandage and picking at the scab.”  Madeleine Albright, “Fascism A Warning”, p. 5-6. 

Fascism In America, On Full Display

“Why, this far into the twenty-first century, are we once again talking about Fascism?  One reason, frankly, is Donald Trump.  If we think of Fascism as a wound from the past that had almost healed, putting Trump in the White House was like ripping off the bandage and picking at the scab.”  Madeleine Albright, “Fascism A Warning”, p. 5-6. 

The quotation above from former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's excellent book, "Fascism A Warning" is is one of several quotes which have been on my official e-mail signature since about December 2018 when I read the book and reviewed it at the link above.  I recommend the book highly and suggest that everyone in America should read it.  Over the last year, and most especially in the last month, we have seen that quotation proven absolutely true.  It is a chilling warning which I knew from reading Albright's book, along with several others which I have written about on this blog.  On a daily basis since the Corona Virus outbreak began in America and the absolute ignorance and lack of any appropriate actions to prevent it by the TRAITOR Donald Trump have become apparent, he has steadily become more abrasive, abusive, tyrannical, and fascistic in his actions and his efforts to suppress constitutionally guaranteed free press, free speech, and the right to peaceful protest.  His criminality, ignorance, and willingness to commit any crime have been steadily increasing in their illegality and outright evil.  This is exactly what Secretary Albright was warning us about in her book.  

America is now at a crossroads in the life and future of the nation.  TRAITOR Trump must be removed from office and, sadly, it appears that he will not be removed before he can do further damage to the country, to the US Constitution, and to the basic freedoms which that Constitution guarantees.  His recent willingness to have peaceful protestors tear gassed in order to proceed down the street for a photo opportunity at a church the usage of which he had not sought or been given permission is an action worthy of many of the heroes of TRAITOR Trump: Adolph Hitler, Vladimir Putin, Benito Mussolini, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, and every other tin horn dictator whom this domestic and international terrorist admires.  The Bishop in whose diocese the aforementioned church is located is publicly outraged at his crime and has said so very publicly both in television interviews and in the print media.  Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde had this to say in an article from CNN: 

"I am outraged. The President did not pray when he came to St. John's, nor as you just articulated, did he acknowledge the agony of our country right now," Budde told CNN's Anderson Cooper on "AC360."

"And in particular, that of the people of color in our nation, who wonder if anyone ever -- anyone in public power will ever acknowledge their sacred words. And who are rightfully demanding an end to 400 years of systemic racism and white supremacy in our country. And I just want the world to know, that we in the diocese of Washington, following Jesus and his way of love ... we distance ourselves from the incendiary language of this President. We follow someone who lived a life of nonviolence and sacrificial love." (Paul LeBlanc, CNN, June 2, 2020)

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appeared to struggle mightily to prevent himself from saying openly  what he really thinks about TRAITOR Trump and his criminal actions when questioned by a reporter.  He paused for nearly half a minute before answering, and was described as having "... opened his mouth, then shut it — twice. He softly groaned.  Finally, in a scene on Tuesday that has now spread wildly around the internet, Mr. Trudeau said: “We all watch in horror and consternation what’s going on in the United States.” (Catherine Porter, New York Times, June 3, 2020)  It is significant that Prime Minister Trudeau also leads a country which is our closest neighbor and, until the insanity of TRAITOR Trump, one of our closest allies, and also a key member of the G7 economic coalition whose other most important member, German Chancellor Angela Merkel had just publicly forced TRAITOR Trump to cancel a meeting of the G7 which he had been scheduled to host in the United States.  Chancellor Merkel, who is arguably the most important world leader today, had handled her refusal in a highly diplomatic manner, without publicly blaming TRAITOR Trump's actions and deliberate inactions regarding the Cornona Virus for her refusal to attend the meeting.  It is also unstated in the media just how much consultation took place between Chancellor Merkel and the other leaders of the six foreign member nations.  But you can bet that since none of the other leaders made any public statements about their intentions to attend or not attend they had consulted and Merkel was issuing a statement with which they agreed.  

It is also significant that the Governor of North Carolina, Roy Cooper, had also just refused to bend to TRAITOR Trump's will and agree to rescind Covid 19 restrictions in the state so a Republican convention could be held with 50,000 attendees jammed into a coliseum in blatant disregard for a virus which has already killed more than 110,000 innocent American victims, most of whose lives could have been saved with strong, decisive, scientifically based interventions from the White  House in January and February 2020 after both the intelligence and scientific communities had warned TRAITOR Trump that the pandemic was coming and could destroy the country.  Governor Cooper had issued a statement that "...the people of North Carolina do not know what the status of COVID-19 will be in August, so planning for a scaled down convention with fewer people, social distancing and face coverings is a necessity.” (Ted Johnson, Deadline, June 2, 2020)  In his statement regarding Governor Cooper's insistence on protecting public health TRAITOR Trump attempted to make it appear that he had decided to withdraw the convention from North Carolina because Cooper had refused to cooperate with him.  But the decision was not his.  Governor Cooper was doing exactly what a real leader does in a crisis and protecting the people of his state, standing up to a rogue lunatic, and acting in the best interests of the entire nation.  

As we progress toward the November 3, 2020 election, and as the Corona Virus continues to kill innocent Americans, the insanity and criminality of TRAITOR Trump will become more and more apparent and dangerous.  We are headed into the the worst, most dangerous days for America since Pearl Harbor.  Those days will become even more dangerous as it becomes more and more apparent that Former Vice President Joe Biden will win the election unless Vladimir Putin and his hackers can pull off another miracle crime just as they did in 2016.  When Joe Biden wins the White House, we will enter 78 days between November 3, 2020, and Inauguration Day on January 20, 2021, in which the nation and the world will exist in rapidly increasing peril as this TRAITOR faces the fact that he will be removed from the scene of thousands of his crimes and will be investigated, prosecuted, convicted, and imprisoned for his TREASON.
