In his first address to the nation after two years, US President Donald Trump proved for one more time that he has absolutely no idea in what he’s talking about. The only arguments he managed to provide were lies and the only motion he attracted was the one of disgust. That, if you are NOT one of the thousands Fox News fanatics. If you were one of them, then Trump was something between the good old grandpa from western films and Santa Claus. An inspiration for a father who’s worrying for his children.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”
Joseph Goebbels said that and Joseph Goebbels was the number-one murderer in Hitler’s inner cycle; Minister of Propaganda for the Nazi state and one of the architects of the Holocaust. Returning to the quote, we often read or hear only this first sentence most of the time ignoring that Joseph Goebbels didn’t stop there:
“The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
And this is the reality USA lives today.
A reality that expects kids in primary schools, ten and twelve years-old to participate in active shooter …exercises hiding under their desk and listening the steps of their pretend killer coming closer. They even have a name for this; they call it the second amendment. People die from cancer or diabetes because they lack a humanitarian healthcare system and the state demands money for a wall. Kids, infants die under the state’s care and the homeland minister accuses the imprisoned by the same state parents.
Again, this is the reality USA lives today. With Donald Trump as president and all kinds of Trumpists around him. Matthew Whitaker, Alex Acosta, Betsy DeVos, Gina Haspel, Andrew R. Wheeler; these people are …what? The contemporary Hermann Göring, Heinrich Himmler, Joseph Goebbels, Albert Speer, Ernst Röhm, Hans Frank? And what about Kirstjen Nielsen? Will she meet with the international courts for intentional and serial violation of human rights, in the future?
These are the people who control and rule the lives of 326,766,750 Americans every day while threatening with their actions the rest of the 7.7 billions globally. And all of that based in lies.
