AN
OVERRIPE FRUIT
I
have lived through some terrible times.
I was a child during the Second
World War and remember the Gold Star flags displayed by families that lost sons
to the slaughter of war.
I remember the
U.S. being the only nation to ever attack a civilian population with two
nuclear weapons.
I was a teenager
during the Korean War.
I lived in the
south during segregation and was a young man during the ugliness of integration.
I vividly remember the assassination of
President Kennedy.
I served during the Vietnam War where American
politicians cost the lives of 58,479 military young men and women while
accomplishing nothing,
and the memory of the Twin Tower is fresh.
and the memory of the Twin Tower is fresh.
During
all this time I never doubted the strength of the United States to recover and
move on.
This past week has been disgusting as U.S.
President Donald Trump undermined NATO, denigrated the European Union and sided
with Russia against U.S. intelligence agencies.
We
have passed the point where investigations are connecting Trump with colluding
with a hostile power (Russia) in order to influence the election and elect himself
President of the United States. Now it
seems we have crossed the Rubicon.
The
blinders are off. Trump is Putin’s
bitch. His actions of the past two years
have crossed over to treason.
I suspicion that Trump's business empire is totally financed by Russian oligarchs with the approval of Vladimir Putin. To cross Putin would bring down his financial empire. With all of Trump’s bravado he acts humble and submissive in the presence of Vladimir Putin and defers to Russian interest in deference to the United States.

In
1954 Vladimir Lenin predicted:
“First,
we will take Eastern Europe, then the masses of Asia, then we will encircle the
United States which will be the last bastion of capitalism. We will not have to attack. It will fall like an overripe fruit into our hands.”
Nakita
Khrushchev in the 1960's bragged:
“You
Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t
accept Communism outright: but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of Socialism
until you finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We won’t have to fight you; we’ll so weaken
your economy, until you fall like overripe fruit into our hands.”
Just
think of what has happened over the past two years. Trump has removed us from the Word Trade
Organization. He is inflicting tariffs
that will drive the U.S. economy into an inflation. He has broken ties with the European Union
and has weakened our relationship with NATO partners. He is now openly aligning himself with
Vladimir Putin and siding with the Russian military and GRE over our own
intelligence networks. He, along with
the Republican party, are manipulating our courts. He
and Republican legislators are aggressively attacking the FBI, CIA and NSA. He has held secret meetings with Russian
ambassadors and now the Russian Head of State.
Lenin and Khrushchev seem to have visualized the outcome but mistaken the method. Who would have ever thought that Russia would be able to elect their own operative to the Presidency of the United States?
It is treason
the Ol'Buzzard
He has committed blatant treason and all Congress does is wag their fingers at him and say don't do it again. Really? Back in the 50's and 60's he would have been hung at the gallows.
ReplyDeleteThe red-headed Russian spy they just arrested should soon help explain the GOP. They have all taken Russian money via the NRA. Anything to get elected. I don't see America winning this one easily. The Trumpanzees will take to the streets and start killing if Mueller starts indicting Trump and family. TRump will fire Mueller, pardon everyone including himself. The Blue Wave will be blunted by GOP shenanigans and Trump will be reelected in 2020. You have seen your last free and fair election.
ReplyDeleteThis is what I fear. The Republicans have no bottom and the Democrats have no balls.
