Notably: In the preface to The Origins of Totalitarianism, Hannah Arendt wrote: “Whatever the causes for American ascendancy to world power, the deliberate pursuit of a foreign policy leading to it or any claim to global rule are not among them. And the same is probably true for the country’s recent and still tentative steps in the direction of imperialist power politics for which its form of government is less fitted than that of any other country.” She wrote those words in 1967. The book had originally been published in 1951. Would she write those words today after, say, reading these lines in the March 5 New York Times: “Once Mr. Khamenei’s name began to circulate as the favored candidate to succeed his father, the United States said he would not be acceptable and could be eliminated. ‘They are wasting their time,’ President Trump told Axios on Thursday, adding that the former supreme leader’s son is ‘a lightweight’ and an ‘unacceptable’ choice. ‘I have to be involved in the appointment, like with Delcy in Venezuela,’ Mr. Trump said, referring to Delcy Rodríguez, the Venezuelan vice president who became interim leader after Washington captured the country’s leader.” We are in an era of post-imperialism as the United States, Russia and China carve out their three spheres, replicating Orwell’s Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia, with the same newspeak, conflicts and ideological fabrications.

The German, I am profoundly convinced after mingling with him now for many years, is incapable of organizing Europe. His lack of balance, his bullying sadism when he is on top, his constitutional inability to grasp even faintly what is in the minds and hearts of other peoples, his instinctive feeling that relations between two peoples can only be on the basis of master and slave and never on the basis of let-live equality — these characteristics of the German make him and his nation unfit for the leadership in Europe they have always sought and make it certain that, however he may try, he will in the long run fail.
–From William Shirer’s Berlin Diary (1941).

As the mid-term ellectons grow closer, Democrates hate voter ID. There only hope is illegals voting. NJ,s Mikie Sherrill stated yesterday 6,600 non citizens were registered to vote. Here we go again…. Another jackass governor, tryed to rig the elections! She says she knew nothing, Like all Democrates soon as they get caught they go brain dead! Its time to pass the voter ID. 3/4 of America wants it, because we all know illegals are voting. Sherrill has only been gov for short time, but she’s as crooked as the day is long, & she got caught! Once again TRUMP is right. We need fair elections, with only Americans voting! Who,s country is this? Cheaters never win & winners don’t cheat! Pass the save America act now. Do it for your freedoms as Americans, do it to save your kids!

The Trojan horse’s ass should be tattooed, Democratic Socialists of America and the entrance should be to D.C.
I’m am perplexed by the silence from the Flagler Live community about the DSA platform. The juvenile and impossible task of implementing the points are not the issue, but rather sowing the seeds of misinformation and disinformation to the no/low informed people and churning up unrest.
This is more than a fringe radical bunch of screwballs because people like Bernie Sanders and AOC are fanning the flames of unrest. This could be a controlled burn that could easily spiral out of control
Key points
Abolish Presidency, Senate, and Supreme Court
Close all prisons. Release all those incarcerated
100% amnesty for all illegals. No deportation is warranted or legal. None
Open borders
Defund police and dissolve ICE
Rent control. You don’t even need to work
32 hour work week, no pay cut
No bills to worry about
Take control of key industries and end private enterprise and for profit businesses
To Skibum or anyone else who thinks I’m heading down the path of McCarthyism.
Nope. Just hoping those who are so focused on the dangers of MAGA, keeps one eye open for the DSA.
