It is now conclusively proven\u00a0 – Trump is a terrorist.\u00a0 This weekend broadcast that for the world to see.\u00a0 He is the Hitler of this ‘Alt-Right’ movement.<\/p>\n
We now also know where the Nazi’s went when they were thrown out of Germany.\u00a0 Their heirs and progeny are carrying on their mission in the United States.<\/p>\n
What an optic for the young people in this country.\u00a0 When those from about 15 years of age and under see what is happening day to day what is it they see?\u00a0 What lessons are our children learning?\u00a0 Well – for starters – when they were born and came to even a small awareness of being a part of these United States, they saw the country with a president who was African American and he governed with elegance, style and caring.<\/p>\n
And then came an election when Barack Obama could no longer run for president, having served two terms, a new president was elected and this time he is white.\u00a0 Our children see and are learning that maybe a white man for president of these United States is not such a good thing.\u00a0 He is crude – limited in intelligence – substitutes an evil shrewdness for that lack – brings to power with him in his administration the neo-Nazi’s, the racists, the white nationalists, etc.\u00a0 And they destroy the country that has been built with the blood sweat and tears of many.\u00a0 Mostly, he is a man walking in Roy Cohn’s shoes and finding that even the shoes of his mentor are too big for him.<\/p>\n
The terror, the Crystal Nacht re-enactment, the Nazi’s reborn and demonstrating their furiousness at the justice, equality, caring that has come into these United States since they last tried to rule the world rejoice about one thing – they celebrate their father- Donald Trump – who has given them new life\u00a0 and the space to cultivate and spread their evil across the United States and eventually across the world.\u00a0 Is that why his Congress has only a 15% approval rating?\u00a0 Because they are his choir – closest to his throne and bent on keeping him in power so they can benefit from the crumbs thrown their way?<\/p>\n
This father of the reborn Nazi’s, White Nationalists, KKK and others of the same ilk is in his death throes knowing his time in power is very limited and knowing very well that he will unceremoniously\u00a0 be removed for his prior sins in a very short time, is leaving office with as much “fire and fury” as he and his can muster.\u00a0 He is leaving office with a massive coming together of those who supported his election to the presidency as he and his underlings could muster.\u00a0 He is treating the rest of us to a bit of theatre\u00a0 such as the world has never seen before.<\/p>\n
In other places around the world, his cousins, who tried to stage such a Nazi comeback, have been rebuffed by their citizens.\u00a0 In these United States, however, that has not been true.\u00a0 We have welcomed and lifted up the neo-Nazi’s in the name of the Republic.\u00a0 We have been very slow to reject and move out someone with his followers who have been and are still threatening the power and justice of these United States.\u00a0 Somehow, many seem to believe their white privilege will be maintained by this group and if they just keep quiet they will also benefit and live to take over as the saner side.<\/p>\n
The slogans being thrown around this weekend in Charlottesville are interesting and probably quite true.\u00a0 The identifier slogan _Blood and Soil_ hanging out there to make sure you recognize who they are and from whence they have come – their history and ancestors.<\/p>\n
Another which rang quite true – “No Jew will replace” – with variations on that slogan was one we heard chanted frequently.\u00a0 Also quite true.\u00a0 They have totally closed the door to make sure Jesus, a Jew, would not be able to come anyplace near where they are standing and holding ground. Even Donald Trump has dropped the act of pretending to be a follower of Jesus.<\/p>\n
It has become quite clear that while the KKK tried to imitate and thereby gain entrance into parts of a believing and faith filled group such as Christians when they started with their mis-use and abuse of the symbol of the cross, this time around they have apparently thrown out the cross and come out into the sunshine and fresh air with their filth.\u00a0 They apparently don’t realize that fresh air and sunshine is exactly what will destroy them and their followers.\u00a0 “No Jews..” is a very accurate statement for them to make.\u00a0 Jesus was many things, but by birth and life and his teachings he was most definitely a Jew.<\/p>\n
This has been a week-end that will go down in history.\u00a0 With the interpretation of historians 20 years from now we can only guess how the United States will fare under their pen.<\/p>\n
What led to this?<\/p>\n
One striking thing is the reason the Nazi group and its followers gave for organizing this week-end.\u00a0 To prevent the removal of a Confederate Memorial Statue.<\/p>\n
Take a look at Germany after the war and how it conducted itself trying to restore its country and its people back to some kind of normalcy – which means respect for others – equality – justice.<\/p>\n
One thing they did not do was to allow statues, memorials, and other remembrances of the Holocaust to happen.\u00a0 You will not find bronze statues of Hitler and his Lieutenants anyplace in Germany.\u00a0 You also could not find copies of “Mein Kampf”.\u00a0 They did everything they could to wipe the slate and start down another path.\u00a0 The memorials you will find, the ceremonies of which you could be a part are for the victims, not the perpetrators of that Holocaust.\u00a0 Our memorials, statues and ceremonies are for the perpetrators of slavery, for those who benefitted.\u00a0 If you are in the African American community you will find memorials to the victims, but in very few other places will you find such.<\/p>\n
What did the United States do after the ‘Holocaust’ of slavery – which went on a lot longer and destroyed and killed many millions more people.\u00a0 We have statues and memorials and ceremonies and Confederate flags and everything we could find to keep alive the feelings and story and everything else of those who benefitted from slavery and brought so many to their deaths.\u00a0 By those statues we constantly glorify the fight and stance taken by those who attempted to maintain slavery in these United States.\u00a0 We want to keep a story alive about their valiant efforts, their life giving for this cause of maintaining the enslavement of other human beings.<\/p>\n
Whenever, today, we threaten to remove one of those statues and\/or memorials or take down one of those flags from our Capital Buildings and\/or grounds the earth moves and shakes and becomes a horrendous place to be within a radius of whatever statue is so threatened.\u00a0 We want to remember and celebrate that time in United States history.\u00a0 We do not want to wipe it out – we want to bring it back.\u00a0 “Make America Great Again” – goes one of our most recent slogans.\u00a0 Make America a slaveholding country again.\u00a0 Make America a country which uses and abuses others to gain wealth, privilege and strength so we can move more decisively against more and more people to bring them into our fold to use and abuse.<\/p>\n
Isn’t that where the immigration controversy comes from?\u00a0 The Trump’s have their products made in another country.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because they, like others who do the same, can make slaves of and abuse those who are destitute making them work for a living at slave wages.\u00a0 Isn’t that a real life example of what the demonstration by the “Alt-Right” this weekend is really all about?\u00a0 The threat that America may lose the ability to pay $1 for a product and selling it for $100.\u00a0 Keep the world under our thumb and we can abuse its people and use them to create the billions of dollars of wealth that is being accumulated by a few – almost exclusively all white, all male and all northern europeans – well, except for those being used to disprove the rule.<\/p>\n
And at the same time immigrants we are keeping out of this country and those we are throwing out are all – really? – brown.\u00a0 And brown people now make up over 40% of our citizenry.\u00a0 What happens if we don’t stop immigration – we will be a country ‘flipped’.\u00a0 And then what?<\/p>\n
May God forgive us all.\u00a0 Those who act – those who allow themselves to be acted upon – those who watch and keep themselves clean and away from the fray so they can live to benefit from it all.<\/p>\n
