America the Evil

 I am a Boomer whose life started with the start of the American "empire" and world wide Pax Americana.  And despite a checkered history over these 82 years I lived in what I could think of as America the Good.  And now that is gone.  (But I trust America the Good will rise up again)

America the Evil has a long history - slaughter of the Native American nations, slavery, Jim Crow South, McCarthyism attacks on liberals.  And there were mistakes, which include our wars in Viet Nam and Iraq.

But America has entered a new level of evil - Trump, MAGA, Oligarch cruelty, white Christian nationalist attempt to create an American theocracy.

Without Trump, the others would be there but have much less power.  

Trump's entire reason for living, other than benefit himself and his ego, seems to be to destroy all that he hates, and he hates a lot.  He has destroyed our alliances, withdrawn from NATO, is attacking the rule of law, has destroyed Congress's independence, has destroyed the Republican Party, is trying to destroy the judiciary, is destroying America's elite and scientific universities which is destroying America's excellence in science, is destroying vaccine research and production which is destroying America's leadership in medical research and expertise.  I am sure I am leaving out lots, but this is enough for now.

But the most horrendous, the most unfathomable, the most depraved that is coming to light is the filth being revealed in the Epstein Files.  And, worse yet, Trump's overt actions and demands that the filth be covered up by his slaves running the Department of Justice and FBI.  Why? Because of his obvious guilt that will be revealed in these nauseating files.  

But the rest of the world is not going to be stopped by Trump's administration.  The rest of the world is already arresting some of the depraved that are so far revealed in the files.

In the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s the world was confronted with and forced to see the unimaginable cruelties and depravities of the Nazis leading up to and including WWII,  including the torture and extermination camps of Jews and others.

Now, America is being seen in much the same light as the horrors of pedophilia, torture, and perhaps murder are showing up in the Epstein files.  Indeed, how many in Trump's administration are also in the Epstein files?  The Epstein class was world-wide, but what is being shown is American centered.  And it is sickening.  I know many Americans are deliberately avoiding seeing the details, but the details are there, and more will come, and they will be more and more shocking and sickening. It takes courage to look, but as citizens we must look, we must see, we must react.

America needs to do a lot of work to stop being seen as America the Evil.  I expect that America will be more and more nauseated by what we see and at least some of the MAGA cult will finally have accept who Trump really is and turn on him - like a pack of hyenas.

Q was right

 It looks like Q was "right".  Except it said that the pedophiles and baby killers were left wing elite predators.  Maybe some were, but the top predator was Epstein's best friend for a dozen years, Donald J Trump.  And he has his government slaves stopping any investigations into him and his Epstein class predators. The criminals were a wide cross section of billionaires, oligarchs, elites in all fields. Here are just a few of the things being revealed so far in the Epstein files.

British Prince Andrew was deeply involved in the pedophilia.  Today he was arrested in England.  Rot in prison please.

The DOJ removed three interviews of a Trump victim accusing him of assault.  FBI also interviewed the woman four times and found her testimony to be credible.  She received a "settlement."

A young teenager girl was threatened to have her child killed if she talked.  She had a child when she was 11.

There is evidence that Epstein grew a flower that would drug a child into a stupor and perhaps erase short term memory - Trumpet plants

Claims that the bodies of two foreign girls who died of strangulation during "rough sex"  were buried on Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico.  The New Mexico legislature unanimously voted to launch an "Epstein Truth Committee" starting at the Zorro Ranch.

Pam Bondi of Florida, now Trump's Attorney General covering up predator crimes, is thought to be a woman who provided teenage girls to Trump the way Ghislane Maxwell provided girls to Epstein and his "friends".

The DOJ released files with massive redactions of the predators' names but "accidentally" released the names of the predators' victims.  This puts a target on their backs and tells them to shut up, or else...

There is a very creepy dentists "office" in Epstein's island.  Why?  The claim is to pull the teeth of the children so they wouldn't be able to bite.

There is a video of a young Mexican teenage girl who is hysterical and screaming "They ate humans!" She has disappeared.  I hope that means she escaped and has successfully hidden, but...

There is a video of a young teenage pregnant girl is a cage struggling to get out.

Katie Johnson has testified that she was tied to a bed by Donald Trump who then raped her.  She was 13 years old.

The United Nations is considering declaring the crimes revealed in the Epstein Files to be crimes against humanity.

And this is only a small sample of what has been allowed to be seen so far, and it is a safe bet that what is still being hidden is much, much worse, especially for the Pedo in Chief.

I am pretty sure that my neighbors trapped inside the media bubbles of Fox News, Breitbart, OAN, Epoch Times, and the rest of the revolutionary right-wing bubble are not aware of any of this.  They are trained to call all of this "fake news'", or just be totally unaware.

So, astonishingly, it looks like Q was right.  The world (is) being run by pedophile baby killers.  But, what they have not yet been able to come to terms with is that the filth is inside their "team', and one of the worst abusers is the same person that they worship - Donald J Trump. 

Give them time.  Not all of them, but some of them will finally have their eyes opened. And that will be the end of the Pedo in Chief.  And a whole lot of others in America and around the world.  The rest of the world is already acting against these criminals - England, Norway, India.  

It will become an avalanche.  And it will bury many.  Or so I hope and expect.  

Bur now is a bad time to be Iran.

Nukes?

 What do you think?  We are actually getting child rape and torture pictures, videos, what will he do?  And what about murder?  Are there really buried bodies on his golf course?  Can local police get a warrant for a search?  No reason for LA police or judges to want to protect this jackass that let LA burn…

So how does he distract? What’s maybe the only story bigger than this?  Nukes? Iran gets nuked?  

What? Surely he wouldn’t go that low! Surely...

Are you kidding? He kills people.

It's about obedience, stupid...

Why do fascists lie obviously?  It is an exercise in submission. The tyrant lies and the lie becomes a litmus test for the submissive to submit.  Trump lies and says he won the 2020 election. So, if you want to be in the Trump Cult you say that Trump won the 2020 election.  If you want to be in the Trump Cabinet or in the Trump Administration you say that Trump won in 2020.  If you want to be in the Trump Government bureaucracy you say that Trump won in 2020. If you want to be in the Trump evangelical churches you say that Trump won in 2020.

If you want to stay in the Trump Administration you say that the ICE gestapo bastard that shot Renee Good through the side window as she was slowly driving past him was protecting his own life.  If you want to be in the Trump military leadership you say that black, brown, red, yellow, and women officers are unqualified DEI appointments and need to be gotten rid of.

If you want to be in the Trump MAGA party say that the economy is the best that America has ever had.  And say that the whole world respects America now more than they ever did.  And say that Trump is the healthiest president of all time. If you want to be a good member of MAGA you say that ICE is doing a wonderful job of getting rid of the "worst of the worst criminals" and are doing a great job.  Etc etc etc. 

Tell the lie and make your subservients agree to the lie and make them repeat the lie.  That's how you know that they will obey you, and do what you tell them, no matter how illegal or how stupid it is.

It's about obedience, stupid.

Obesity - Reagan, deregulation, Shareholder Capitalism, Tobacco companies

 PBS has a new show, Horizons, that discusses science, technology, health. The first show, January 15, 2026, available on the free PBS Horizons App, discussed the obesity in the country.  Some really important reasons for the explosion of obesity in the U.S. since the early '80s were made.  And, of course, that time marked the start of the obesity crisis in America.

First, Reagan deregulated the food industry.  Oh boy! The food industry could just focus on profits and market share without those pesky regulations.  

Second, Shareholder Capitalism became the operating principle of the Reagan deregulated capitalist world.  So, this means that the main objective was profits, increase of stock performance, and food quality and nourishment become secondary at best.

Third, with the collapse of demand for cigarettes, the Tobacco giants needed a new way to make enormous amounts of money, so they bought the food companies.  And what did the Tobacco giants do?  why they did the same things they did to sell cigarettes: they shaped the eating experience to increase food sales.  That is to say, they changed food from being nourishing to be eaten until one is full enough, to become food that creates hunger, food that creates cravings, food that satisfies briefly but demands another hit to stave off the cravings for the chemically altered drugs disguised as food.  

So, America became obese.  

What to do?  Eat real food, not processed food.  We have known this for decades, but it is a lifesaving strategy.  When you go to a supermarket only buy the food on the outer edges of the store - produce (fruits and vegetables), dairy, and meat.  Most of the make-believe food in the freezers and cans are addictive drugs stuffed into what looks like food.

And cook your food.  Not just warm up the hyper processes meals that are so convenient.

The show gave some credit to the government's MAHA efforts to have people eat real food but had less than enthusiasm for RFK Jrs new nutrition pyramid which can be summarized as eat lots of real food and mostly meat, which is different than Michael Pollan's advice to eat real food, not too much, mostly grains and produce.  

The tobacco giant's business model is to addict people, make people ill and kill them early. You've got to keep those shareholders happy, doncha know?

Trump is Hoover 2.0?

Herbert Hoover was blamed for the Great Depression, for good reason, and he destroyed the Republican Party for two generations.  FDR replaced him in 1932 and there wasn't a Republican president again until Reagan in 1980.  I know, Eisenhower was president in 1952 but it was never clear which party he would choose until he declared, so he was just a U.S. president without the baggage of the Republican Party, and indeed he accepted much of the FDR Federalization of the government.

Trump is destroying the U.S. economy, the U.S. dollar, the U.S. rule of law, the U.S. alliances, the U.S. world leadership, and U.S. goodness.  It will take at least two generations to undo the damage done by him, and Stephen Miller, and Russel Vought, and Pete Hegseth, and RFK Jr, and Tulsi Gabbard, and and and and ....

Trump and MAGA ended their pretenses long ago and have come out in bold public declarations that they are proudly white supremacist, Christian theocratic, plutocratic billionaire elitist, child rapist, above the law zealots.  And they think all they have to do to stay in power is to turn the U.S. into to a terrified police state run by the violent force of brutal, immune masked and highly armed thugs.

Bullshit.  Although it is deeply saddening to me to see that about 35 -40% of Americans are hard core MAGA cult racists and thugs, the great strength of America is synergy - the whole of multiple races and personalities and cultures and values is greater that the sum of its parts.  The synergy of the whole of America is much more powerful than the domination of one small part of America - white Christian theocratic men.  

Trump will fail.  MAGA will fail.  We are not Germany of the 1930s or Italy of the 1920s nor Hungary or Russia today. The Soul and Spirit of America is waking up, looking around, and saying What the Hell?

They are following their training

Polite commentators are saying that ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and US Customs and Border Protection are "making mistakes" because they are "poorly trained".  They say they are not properly trained in police practices of crowd control, de-escalation, constitutional protections and limits, probable cause, etc.  

Nonsense.

They have been fully trained, and they are following their training.  You have to understand what they are trained to do, and what they are doing, on purpose.  They are trained to escalate, not de-escalate. They are trained to incite the crowds, not calm the crowds.  They are not there to "enforce" immigration laws or deport the "worst of the worst".  That is the cover story.

What are they trained to do?  What are they doing?  They are creating a MAGA Gestapo to terrorize the country.  Attacking and throwing men women and children to the ground and brutalizing them. Doing it for the cameras to show on MAGA Cult media to excite their cult to relish the violence (and call it "law and order").  To excite their cult to be violent. 

They are being violent to incite a violent response so the Pedo in Chief can declare Martial Law, or at least put masked US Gestapo menacing thugs and poling places in brown and black communities, and try to cheat the mid term elections which he knows he will loose in a landslide, be impeached and convicted, and face criminal trials.

What they are doing is getting the country used to violent masked, fully armored, using military weapons racists roaming the streets, smashing glass, breaking down doors, pulling people from cars and homes and workplaces.  

They are the KKK of today. They are the Nazis of today.  They are the Gestapo of today.  And we are supposed to be afraid, very afraid, turn away, keep our heads down, don't make trouble, don't see, pretend it's not happening.

Just like the Germans did in the '30s and the Italians did in the '20s and '30s.

But this is America in the 2020's.  We look, we see, we witness, we record, we say no.  We don't submit in advance. We don't submit at all.

We know the game plan. We say no.

Russian Honey Trap

 Accusations that Trump, Epstein, maybe others, raped and then murdered young teenage girls and boys has to be the most horrible of the charges revealed in the Epstein files. I hope local police properly search properties mentioned to have buried bodies.

Of course there are multiple charges of rape of young teen girls and boys. And Trump and Epstein are the most often documented names in the files. But there are many powerful names, including the execrable Elon Musk and habitual sex addict, Bill Clinton. 

But, to me, the most important charge is that the Epstein system of debauchery was a giant Russian KGB “honey trap” - that is, it lured weak, sexually deviant and obsessive men into sex acts that were despicable, or at least scandalous, and recorded them or documented them, and then blackmailed powerful political and business and influential men to obey Russia, or else. 

And so, Russia conquered America by trapping one of the weakest and most deviant Americans, Donald J Trump, and had an astonishing stroke of planning and luck when he became president of the U.S. 

So, it has long been obvious that Putin controls Trump, Putin demands that Trump destroy NATO, Putin demands that Trump destroy American alliances and military and economic ties, and sink the Pax Americana that inspired democracy and thwarted Soviet and then Russian imperial conquest since WWII. 

The more specifics that we see the more disturbed and depressed I become. Trump’s deviance and mental illnesses has been obvious from the start to even the mildest scrutiny over the last ten years. What is so hard to live with are the millions of our neighbors who refused to see the obvious, or saw it and didn’t care, or saw it and celebrated a kindred spirit of debauchery, greed, bigotry, and corruption. 

77 million people voted for this criminal in 2024, and who he was was not a mystery. He campaigns on his sins.  Say it out loud, he’s a monster and he’s proud.
