The Nerd Reich": Author Gil Durán on Big Tech Fascism, Peter Thiel, JD Vance & the War on Democracy...
Laozi: 'When you let go of what you are, you become what you might be' When fascism came to America it came clutching a bible and waving the flag. On January 20, 2025. Israel in the present time is a state engaging in state terrorism against the Palestinian population of Gaza. The Zionist genocide of Palestinians is ungodly, un-Christian, and in every way horrific evil. For Evangelical Christians, Christian Nationalists and MAGA who apparently know nothing of Jesus of Nazareth's position on wealth : Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. "A ll worldly pursuits have but one unavoidable and inevitable end, which is sorrow; acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings in destruction; meetings in separation; births in death. Knowing this, one should, from the very first, renounce acquisitions and storing-up, and building, and meeting; and, faithful to the com...
Cenk says trumpers are lunatics... yeah, I think that is an accurate description.
ReplyDeleteYup. I'd say he hit the nail squarely on its head.

It was the best of times when the first US president, George Washington confessed “I cannot tell a lie.” and towards the end of his life uttered, “still I hope I will always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles – the character of an honest man.”
It was the worst of times when the latest president, elected by a minority, was incabible of telling the truth..to the extent that if subjected to a lie detector it would self-destruct. He would accuse the lie

A sad and dangerous day that we are presently living in.
Sorry for being off topic, but I just heard that dirty trickster and Trump BFF, Roger Stone, has been slapped with an all-encompassing gag order by the judge overseeing his case and who Stone placed, in a Tweet, a crosshair image next to her head. Stone has never been held to account for his slimey behavior until now. He can think about what's ahead for him while he's in jail. Good for Judge Berman-Jackson.
