The world view in Robert Ludlum's novels:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ludlum

"His depictions of terrorism in books such as The Holcroft Covenant and The Matarese Circle reflected the theory that terrorists, rather than being merely isolated bands of ideologically or politically motivated extremists, are actually pawns of governments or private organizations who are using them to facilitate the establishment of authoritarian rule. "

_________
So the terrorists are aligning and colluding. Apartheid boy is supporting neo-Nazis. Predictable and expected. On budget, on time.

Elon is so certain that he won the election for TSF. His ego is taking credit for the decades of support that the GOP received from Vladimir Putin. I think this will offend Vlad who has not only money, but an ecosystem of intelligence operatives at his bidding. Elon will fall out of a window - and I will smile when I get that news.

Musk has been talking on the phone a lot with Putin recently. But I can't find reporting of the last time Musk was physically in Moscow. I'm betting he doesn't go there in the next year or two, or fly one of his corporate jets anywhere near Russian airspace.

He knows Musk only furthers that decay. The populace of the world is a mess that can be dealt with in time. Putin is now aiming at control of our military regime. He wants to remove the civilian control of our military, to fully unleash our Fascist DNA. This democracy is exhaling it's death rattles while the brain cells die.

The Republican Party and AfD are politically aligned. There is a global fascist political movement. Le Pen's National Rally, Farage's Reform Party, Orban's Fidesz: they are all part of this.

It's not surprising to me.

I'm in Louisiana.

Louisiana is a fascist theocracy.
So is Texas.
So is Oklahoma.
So is Arkansas.
So is Mississippi.
So is Alabama.
So is Georgia.
So is Florida.

Mike Johnson's residence is less than twenty-miles from the childhood home in which I reside.

I've been screaming about the rise of theocratic fascism for thirty years.

Fascist depravity is now paraded as patriotic glory.
Fuck all that.

Evil plays the long game. The Maga Republicans have sold their souls if they ever had one. They are the remnants of Neanderthals. We will need to be strong for the coming storm. I just had a good conversation with a republican coworker, I said I worried about staying in NATO and I believed in the right for Ukraine to defend itself from invaders. He agreed. So hopefully people start pulling their heads out of their ass.

33. The AfD is a dysfunctional troll-party, just like the US Republicans:
Fri Dec 20, 2024, 11:10 AM
Friday

A few months ago, the AfD came out as the strongest party in the state-elections of the german state of Thuringia. As such, they were awarded the privilege to get the first try at forming a government, to be ratified by a parliamentary vote.

By chance, the speaker-pro-tempore also happened to be an AfD-member. He violated the House-rules by refusing to acknowledge an attempt by a Representative to ask for a motion. There was a huge scandal and a court had to step in and the whole affair was ruined with political scandal.

EXCEPT...........

The speaker-pro-tempore later accidently admitted in an interview with a right-wing outlet that their plan had been all along to manufacture a scandal that would need to be settled in court, to generate publicity for the AfD party on social-media.

Outraged, the other parties voted to change the House-rules and banded together to form a coalition-government that excluded the AfD.



In short: The AfD sabotaged their own chance to actually govern a state for their very first time, because clicks&views are more important to them.

There is no reason to modify his post, it's wrong when they do it and when we do it. I think he is a uniquely dangerous person to our country, all the more reason to maintain our high standards of integrity.
