*** “As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we must all be most aware of change in the air – however slight – lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.” [Supreme Court Justice William Douglas]

1]. History has many examples of government persecuting its own people: 1970s Cambodia, 1970s Chile, 1980s America, 1940s-50s America, Nazi Germany, 2001-09 America…….More on these below.

We are now witnessing a new, radical, attempt to USE government power against ordinary people, and for, a privilege3d few by “state capture.” This is the latest stage in a decades-long scheme, well documented statistically. Read: Kurt Andersen’s “Evil Geniuses,” Nancy MacLean’s. “Democracy In Chains,” Sarah Chayes’ “On Corruption In America,” and Senator Sheldon Whitehouses”s “The Scheme.”

If YOU care about America, then YOU must ask questions about what has occurred January 20, 2025 to today. Is the Musk-Trump KAKISTOCRACY doing ALL the damage to American government by themselves? WHO/WHAT is the POWER behind the “Trump” administration? WHO/WHAT is behind the “DOGE” organization? WHO/WHAT funded work that created ‘PROJECT 2025″?????

WHY is virtually EVERY U.S. government agency witnessing mass firings and defunding one that actually works FOR the lower 95%??? An agency that holds corporations & the rich accountable??? An agency that would collect taxes from the rich and corporations??? WHY do multiple authors of ‘PROJECT 2025″ hold important government positions?

WHY are certain Americans being ‘ERASED”? We’ve seen this before – 1970s Cambodia, 1970s Chile, Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, Communist China, Putin’s Russia, 1940s-50s America, 1692 Salem Witchcraft Trials, European pograms, European Religious Wars, 120,000 innocent Japanese-Americans imprisoned in WW II, Jim Crow segregation, women denied the vote, anti-homosexual laws……….

It still bothers me that Richard Nixon escaped that equal treatment….If Nixon had had the character of President Eisenhower, or any other honest president, this scandal [Watergate]. would never have happened….I hope no political party will ever stoop so low as to embrace the likes of Richard Nixon.” Judger John J. Sirica}

2] ‘…You cannot remove photographs related to Women’s History Month without also removing the women. The Defense Department’s DEI initiative does not merely eliminate programs. It erases people. .. the purge extends well beyond the Pentagon…The New York Times published an extensive list of words that various federal agencies have instructed their staff to limit or avoid…The way we tell stories about America’s past is the way we shape the story of America’s present..” [Monica Hesse: “The DEI purge has gotten weird.”; Washington Post Weekly; 3/16/25]

*** “If all records told the same tale – then the lie passed into history and became truth. “Who controls the past,” ran the Party slogan, “controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.”…”Reality control,” they called it..”
[George Orwell, “1984”]

3] Below SOME examples of Trump-Musk KAKISTOCRACY cruelty and destructiveness against Americans:
– “Trump’s shutdown of CDC information imperils nation’s health” [2/20/25]
– “Scientists worry about global air monitoring shutdown”. [3/6/26]
– “Mass Firing of Federal Staff May Imperil Food Supply, Cattle, and Pets”. [3/2/25]
– “The Great Dismantling: Trump’s Coming Attack on America’s Economic Backbone”. [12/1/24]
– “Neutering the CFPB: A Banker Speaks Out” [3/15/25]: “..sow chaos..only helps predatory lenders..”
– “Another 1,000 weather jobs to be cut” [3/12/25]: “…agency eradication”
– “Undoing years of Climate Policy in a few weeks”. [3/2/25]
– “Erosion of IRS puts its mission in peril”. [3/11/25]
– “White House firing FAA radar, navigation workers”. [2/18/25]
“Report: Trump would drain Social Security”. [10/27/24]
– “Trump Policies Threaten To Drive Up Inflation”. [2/6/25]

4] A review of past examples of where the Musk-Trump KAKISTOCRACY could be dragging America:
– 1970s Cambodia: Khmer Rouge “true believers” murdered about 3 million in their “re-education” program. Watching “The Killing fields” may help.
– 1940-50s America: the HUAC- Joe McCarthy era: tens of thousands accused of being “communists”; friends and colleagues asked to inform on “traitors”; “loyalty” tests. Watch “Trumbo.”
– 1970s Chile: a military junta took power; imprisoned opponents; restricted media; banned political parties; tens of thousands were “disappeared.”
– 1980s America: the “Iran-Contra Affair” could have led to impeachment; Poindexter & North interpreted the Constitution to carry out secret operations in defiance of law. “Kill the Messenger” details how far Reagan “true believers” were willing to go to suppress truth.
– 1930s-40s Nazi Germany: cult-like faith in Der Fuhrer; media controlled; non-Aryan group blamed for ALL troubles; language bent [Jews were “collected”]. Watch “Alone in Berlin.” Read “Seduced by Hitler, “In The Garden of Beasts,” “The Nightmare Years.”
– 2001-09 America: “Our ” government lied America into a war, tripled national debt, lax regulation of financial “geniuses” led to 2008 Crash. Multiple books written about lies of “our” president. Watch “Fair Game” to see how far Bush “true believers” were willing to go. Read “Robbing Us Blind” [Brouwer]

*** “People may start out with an initial prejudice against tyrants, b ut when tyrants or would-be tyrants teat them to adrenaline-releasing propaganda about the wickedness of their enemies – particularly of enemies weak enough to be persecuted – they are ready to follow [the tyrants] with enthusiasm.” [Aldous Huxley]

5] The Musk-Trump KAKISTOCRACY’s “DOGE” is a FRAUD. Its basic premises either wrong or twisted. YOUR federal government is UNDERSTAFFED. The IRS is woefully understaffed so much it can’t audit billionaire’s tax returns to recover the $1 trillion a year in certified taxes. Republican tax cuts, 1981-2017, have driven a national debt that was LESS than $1 trillion for 1789-1980 America to over $30 trillion.
The 2017 Trump tax cut is responsible for 25% of YOUR national debt. IF Musk-Trump really want to “save taxpayer money – THE #1 target should be ending the 2017 trump tax cuts!!!!!!!!! #2 is ending ALL the current loopholes benefiting the rich. We now have a record number of billionaires
As reported on 2/17/25 PBS “Newshour” – the U.S. population has increased by 68% in the last 50 years – your federal workforce is roughly at the same levels of thre 1970s in relation to that population increase!

HOW GULLIBLE AND MISINFORMED ARE YOU?????

6]. The issue is very simple: cut billionaire taxes. [already too low]. – OR. – maintain current benefits and services to people like YOU. That is the bottom line. Period.

***. “We can either have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentration in the hands of a few. But we can’t have both.” [U.S, Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis]

*** “The governments of the past could be fairly characterized as devices for maintaining in perpetuity the place and position of certain privileges classes, without any ultimate protection for the rights of the people. The government of the United States is a device for maintaining in perpetuity the rights of the people, with the ultimate extinction of all privileged classes.” [ Republican President Calvin Coolidge, 1924 ]

1] “”We the People,” summons forth the still radically democratic idea that the government of the United States exists to serve the people, not the people serve the government. That is fundamental to the Framers’ original intent, as is the related idea that the government of the United states cannot tell us what to think or believe about politics, religion, science, literature, or anything else.” [Pulitzer Prize winning constitutional law scholar Leonard W. Levy: “Original Intent and The Framer’s Constitution” ]

SO – “government exists to serve the people” – as in education, regulating business, protecting the environment, public health, national parks, highways, infrastructure, scientific research, legal & judicial systems, law enforcement & public safety, protecting civil rights, protecting worker’s rights, social safety net, providing accurate information, programs for children……………..

SO – YOU tell me: what has the Musk-Trump KAKISTOCRACY done to carry out these duties and obligations? They CLAIM they’re promoting “government efficiency” – SO what, if anything they’ve done IN REALITY makes “our” government a better servant of the American people ???

SO – YOU tell me, how does mass firings and defundings of many of the above government services make YOUR life better? How does mass firings of national parks workers make YOUR next trip to one of “our” national parks better and safer/

SO- YOU tell me, how does mass firings and cuts in medical research, halting global health programs, decimating the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention make the health of YOU and YOUR children better?

SO – do YOU care if Trump-Musk KAKISTOCRACY privatizes access to accurate weather reports – meaning YOU will pay for what used to be free government weather reports?

SO – do YOU care if Musk-Trump privatize Social Security, totally privatize Medicare? SO, maybe YOUR retirement savings could be lost [like happened in the 2008 Crash]. SO, there’ll be NO restraints on prescription drug costs, hospital visits, doctor’s services????????????

SO – do YOU want to be 100% at the mercy of BIG BUSINESS??? That the U.S. government will do NOTHING to restrain their greed??? If Trump-Musk gut federal government powers, YOU WILL BE ROBBED.

SO – are YOU concerned about YOUR environment – as in pollution-free air; as in the cost of YOUR property insurance doubling, tripling, N.A.; as in clean water; as in toxic dumps??? If Musk-Trump reward their corporate donors/silent partners by gutting the EPA and other government agencies – YOUR future life, that of YOUR children will NOT be pleasant.

2] “…injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere..” [ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. – 1964 Nobel Peace Prize winner: “for his non-violent struggle for civil rights” }

SO – YOU tell me – should “our” government be protecting YOUR civil rights? YOUR civil rights that began with thew 1791 “Bill of Rights”? YOUR civil right to “be left alone”???

SO – YOU tell me – should “our” government be protecting YOUR rights as an employee? Or, should YOU be totally at the mercy of YOUR employer?????

SO – YOU’RE a white male – what do YOU care if women or people of color are mistreated??? YOU’RE a “Christian” – what do YOU care if other religions, or people not in any church, get persecuted???

3] “There can be no equal justice where the kind of trial a man gets depends on the amount of money he has.” { supreme Court Justice Hugo Black ]

SO – what do YOU care if some rich guy gets off scott-free? If 1,500 rioters trying to help a coup against YOUR government ALL get pardons? A corporation avoids punishment? If the federal courts are stacked with “true believers” who RE-WRITE the Constitution and other laws for favored people and groups?

4]. “Of all the costs imposed on our society by the top 1%, perhaps the greatest is this: the erosion of our sense of identity in which fair play, equality of opportunity, and a sense of community are so important….our democracy is being put at peril.” [ Nobel Prize winner Joe Stiglitz ]

SO – YOU tell me – how is the Trump-Musk KAKISTOCRACY doing in increasing YOUR sense of fair play, equal opportunity, and a sense of “we’re all in this together”??? Do YOU think there is ANY chance that YOU and YOUR children will be one of the “winners” from ANYTHING the Musk-trump KAKISTOCRACY is doing?

SO – YOU tell me – do YOU really believe Musk-Trump are doing all this chain-sawing of “our” government to benefit YOU? Are they doing what the Constitution’s Preamble REQUIRES: ‘..promote the general Welfare..”? Do YOU really trust what they’re doing? Are YOU aware DOGE is covering up their mistakes, refusing to provide details of their “big savings”?
