“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity”
FEB 27, 2024
LLAW’s COMMENTS, Tuesday (02/27/2024)
I don’t often express or discuss my concerns about Trump these days after spending years before, during, and after debunking every sound, move, thievery, squirm, or insult to America and our people that he made and continues to make. This time around I have to believe he is nothing more than exactly what he always was — a dried up, lying, demented, belligerent, stupid, ignorant, big-time grifter, and worthless old man, who should be removed from our country to a deserted island in the middle of the Pacific ocean with one palm tree for shade, and that his only human contact with people will be limited to those sailors who are paid by humanitarian governments that he despised, including the USA, who deliver the necessities of life to him — food and water and a small portable Eskimo-like orange plastic shelter that he can push around the tree to remain in the shade on overly warm days. For the rest of his life.
The thing about the brief article pasted just below from the Daily Kos (from the categorized daily nuclear news tonight) is that the short and cogent point made by FreeBandit about how much his life has been virtually parallel to Hitler’s and that he attracts the same kind of overly hateful, uneducated but opinionated, rabble-riser types who despise any kind of social authority or care beyond their own limited concepts of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth of living, rather the idea of a considerate and empathetic humanitarian way of striving for a successful, peaceful, and gratifying life for all. It has been said that the only books that Trump actually read and studied were a couple of Hitler books — Mein Kampf and a book of Hitler’s speeches — and Trump’s demeanor seems to conspicuously resemble his idol’s inhumane concepts. He is typical fodder for igniting a nuclear war. ~llaw

I picked up an old Doonesbury anthology the other day, “Yuge”. Through the eyes of his characters, Trudeau follows the career of Donald Trump from a greed-head real estate mogul with a taste for the grotesque in the 1970s and ‘80s, through his preliminary dabbling in politics and “reality” television. It ends in 2015, when his transformation into the nightmare we are living began. What struck me as I read is how Trump was viewed as a joke for so long that his essential evil has never really sunk in. Even today, after all that has happened in the past eight years, the mainstream media still treats him (to a large extent) as an eccentric but viable candidate in a horse race.
What we need is a change in perspective. The Yellowstone supervolcano was not recognized as such until photographs from space allowed the contours of the giant caldera to be discerned. Only then could the evidence of massive eruptions over millions of years found scattered across North America be tied to a single source.
It is time that we recognize Donald Trump for what he is: a mass murderer. At his behest, aid to Ukraine has been put in limbo, while thousands die. Adviika has fallen after 10 years of war, for want of ammunition that the US could easily supply. One could, with some difficulty, blame the unnecessary deaths of so many due to COVID on Trump’s incompetence rather than malice. But now we have the deaths of thousands, both Ukrainians and Russians, resulting from his active interference.
It is quite possible that Adolph Hitler never killed anyone personally until he took his own life in that Berlin bunker. Yet we remember him as one of history’s most infamous mass murderers, because he created the conditions where others would kill in his name. Now Trump is complicit in attempted genocide, simply to serve his own ends.
Not long after the 2020 election, I wrote a letter to the Washington Post that ended:
“The current efforts by Trump to delegitimize the results of an election that was undertaken under difficult conditions by thousands of honest and diligent election workers, postal workers and millions of voters is obscene, and is made more so by the silence, or worse, the active collaboration of GOP members who almost certainly know better. Those cowards should remember that Hitler came to power by legitimate means, and only a costly world war, with millions of dead, finally ended his regime. It can’t happen here, of course. Right?”

A current Digest of major nuclear media headlines with automated links is listed below by nuclear Category (per above). If a category heading does not appear, it means there was no news reported from this category today. There are three Yellowstone Caldera bonus stories available tonight.
