Quixotic Tales

After I had used my Nazi Dachau crematorium photo to make a point on Facebook, a young woman wrote, “I have never seen this photo. But I will never forget it.”

Personally, I hate to use the photo of the Nazi Dachau prison crematorium, but I lived through WWII, my brother liberated the Dachau Concentration camp as an America soldier in combat there, and I am convinced the American People NEED TO REMEMBER. I’m quite old, the young don’t remember; I feel obligated to remind them.

Webster Dictionary definition of fascism: “A political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race and stands for a centralized autocratic often militaristic government.”

Personally, I see my President Trump as an oligarch, vying to make “his” America great again, hating, lying, and demanding, demanding, demanding! It makes me vomit!

First they came:

“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

“Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

“Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

“Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

“First they came … is a famous statement and provocative poem written by Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) about the cowardice of German intellectuals following the Nazis’ rise to power and subsequent purging of their chosen targets, group after group.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came_…

Today, I’m reading that Ivanka Trump, my President’s daughter, will become a government employee who will work for me for free? How many employees will she have working for her, doing her work; I would not expect someone of her wealth and power doing their own laundry!

IVANKA

If you were an employer, seriously, would you be suspect of someone who wants to works for you for free, and perhaps be concerned about an unpaid employee’s motives; government employees purportedly work for me, the taxpayer and personally, I question Ivanka’s motives for working for free and, of course, I am suspect of any of Papa Trumps motives because he is such a proven liar!

As a taxpayer, and Ivanka’s employer, I’m wondering exactly what MY RESPONSIBILITIES ARE FOR HER WORKING FREE OF CHARGE; AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR IVANKA’S MISTAKES, IF SHE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCIDENTLY CREATING A NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST?

Ivanka already has continuous Secret Service protection at great expense, whether at home or skiing in Colorado! If Ivanka costs the taxpayer, for her to ski, how much pray tell, is it going to cost the taxpayers to have Ivanka work for the tax payers, free?

Personally, as one of the “People”, I feel “up to my ass in Trumps” already, who are more of pain in my ass, rather than productive.

MY ASS

Each day the news gets worse; how long can the news continue to get worse and America survives?

Personally, I don’t believe a college education is a necessity to succeed in life, it is possible to learn from special personal experience; however, when I saw three commentators of “national prime time TV news media” interpreting the Constitution and History for the audience, which I acknowledged to be wrong, I decided to see what university they graduated from, for who was to blame. The three nationally known commentators were: Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and Dave Beck at his prime. All three were from the Fox News Network of Rupert Murdoch.

Sean Hannity speaks at the 2015 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center at National Harbor MD on February 27, 2015. Sean Hannity hosts ‘Hannity’ on the Fox News Channel and ”The Sean Hannity Show’ radio talk show. (Photo by Jeff Malet)

So I researched it and none had a degree from any university nor did they even attend university for more than one or a part of one semester; they all lacked the knowledge to interpret the Constitution, Law, and History! They all three did have a high school education, and they often complained about public schools and public school education standards.

To me this was outrageous, but more than that it was producing an ignorant audience of millions of Americans who vote in national elections, and elect candidates like Donald J. Trump, who has consistently and obviously lied his entire short political career, starting with his claim that President Obama was not American but a citizen of Kenya and President Obama was a Muslim and not a Christian, to his latest lie that President Obama had him and Trump Towers “Wire Tapped”!

Today in America, 6 corporate conglomerates own 90% of ALL PRIME TIME NEWS MEDIA; THE PRIME TIME NEWS MEDIDA PROFITS COME FROM CORPORATE CONGLOMERATE ADVERTISING AND PERSONALLY I FIND THE NEWS MEDIA EDITS NEWS FOR THE BENEFIT OF CORPORATE AMERICA. AND, WITH “CITIZENS UNITED” AND THE CORPORATE OWNED PRESS, I FIND CORPORATE AMERICA BUYING POLITICAL CANDIDATES AND ELECTIONS, AND THE NEWS IS EDITED TO BENEFIT CORPORATE AMERICA!

As for myself, I consider myself over-educated, except for teaching; and I spent my life teaching in the public schools; the public schools have always been approved of in America, as a necessity, because an educated population and educated voters were considered essential for a democracy to succeed.

As a public school teacher, it was my responsibility to convince students a knowledge of the Constitution and law was necessary for them to vote intelligently. So, now I’m old and retired as a public school teacher; but today my greatest fear is my President of the United States lies consistently to the People and some TV commentators and newspaper reporters are misinforming voters that the lies are not lies. It would appear that those lies will finally eliminate the American democracy that I have been fortunate to enjoy most of my life!

As a public school teacher, I was required by law to be impartial in teaching and by law forbidden to indoctrinate public schools students; and that is why America also had private schools, private schools specifically indoctrinate students (ordinarily in religious beliefs) and that is why some parents send kids to private schools.

Today, some politicians are trying to eliminate public schools, privatize education, and allow political movements to use private schools to indoctrinate students in political matters, using “Charter Schools” and vouchers, allowing parents to indoctrinate students in politics at taxpayer expense.

Please look for the real meaning of educational reform. And when making political decisions, find which sources can be trusted for news and find those sources that cannot be trusted.

America does not need members of Congress representing Gerrymandered districts; neither does America need members of Congress elected by land mass and inequities.

America needs a government elected by its People.

!

America does not need government elected by White Supremacist States and racial equality States, what America needs to do is make White Supremacy, the KKK, Fascism, and acts of inequality, against the law and make racists and fascist ineligible for political office.

In 1953, under President Eisenhower, America made Communism illegal, but they did not make the Nazi Party, the KKK, fascism, or racism illegal; in America today Nazis, the KKK, fascism, racism, is perfectly legal, practiced, and allowed in our government: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Control_Act_of_1954

If America is to be a democracy we need to amend the Constitution to allow for direct elections. For important issues, America needs a National Poplar vote.

America needs to make fascism, racism, and religious inequality illegal, provide no lifetime terms of office, and provide for changing government and reelection when the people agree we need reelections, instead of being limited to “terms”.

America today is no longer 50 individual states as they were in 1787; and, America should not be Red States, Blue States, Industrial States, Farm States, Big States, Small States. America today is one people, and should have one law, and one government, and have State Governments limited to applying and enforcing one Federal Law.

America needs to stop dividing itself.

For those states who want to secede, remember that we unify as a people for defending our liberty and sharing each State’s needs. Instead of seceding, “love thy neighbor”.

There should be only one America, with Liberty and justice for all!

God bless America

Of course I believe the Russians are using trump, and they could possibly be blackmailing trump with sexual material, and Trump’s run for the Presidency was all about pride and greed with nothing to do with the people and America.

!

Trump was able to “use” Labor because the Democratic Party abandoned Labor for the support of Wall Street and Wall Street Money Support.

And otherwise, Trump would never have won even the Electoral College, if he had not been able to take advantage of the Democrats abandonment of Labor and Trump’s promise to eliminate NAFTA and TPP and the taking away of American jobs.

If you do not believe Trump could be subject to sexual blackmail because of his sexual behavior then you don’t believe he would “grab women by their Pussy” with his little hands.

Both political Parties have become corrupt.

America needs to change the Constitution to become a United People of America instead of a United States; the States have no place in our Federal Government except in administering Federal Law. America has diverse people but does not need “diverse States and State laws”, because we are all Americans.

The Electoral College is archaic and the reason we have only a “2 party system”, and that and divisiveness has corrupted our government. America needs cooperation among multiple parties, direct elections, equal representation, and for important issues a National Poplar Vote; direct elections are possible because of new technology.

If the writers of the Constitution were alive today, with the technology and society we have, they would agree we need to make these changes that is why they provided for Amendments.

America also needs to be able to change the government immediately when necessary by, vote of the People; the People cannot afford to wait 2,4, or 6 years. Government is too important than to have to wait 4 years to change Presidents or a lifetime to replace members of the Supreme Court. Constitutional “impeachment” changes only individuals and not government.

Americans need to learn from “OUR” present total 2016 debacle.

God bless America
