TrumpKrieg: What Can You Get For The Plutocrat Who Has Everything?
Did you think this wasn’t going to happen? We are the frogs and this pot has been simmering for years. Are you feeling the heat yet?
Laughing at the Coup d’Etat
We can learn from those who went before.
History repeats, first as tragedy, then as farce.
Is this going farce enough yet? If it is, it’s not very funny. Maybe it will get less tragic and more funny if we all start laughing at the Emperor with no clothes. They hate that. Ha ha ha. Ho ho ho. He he he. It’s catchy in a great way.
There is one certainty - he is not immortal. At some point even Orange colored beasts lie down and do not rise up again. Can I have a praise Jesus and an Amen!
Now, that’s funny. Ha ha ha. Ho ho ho. He he he.
My other new joke: I told this one as a test run to an actual Sister (a nun) on Sunday after mass. So it’s definitely kosher.
Q: Why is Donald Trump upset?
A: Because he’s only AN antichrist and not THE antichrist.
Ahh! poor indefinite article Donald.
Every little bit helps folks. Do your bit. Ha ha ha. Ho ho ho. He he he.
The White Rose
“We are your bad conscience. The White Rose will not leave you in peace!”
The White Rose (Local Resistance)
Home brewed truth and group resistance to an oppressive regime.
“The White Rose (German) a non-violent, intellectual resistance group in Nazi Germany was led by five students and one professor at the University of Munich: Willi Graf, Kurt Huber, Christoph Probst, Alexander Schmorell, Hans Scholl and Sophie Scholl. The group conducted an anonymous leaflet and graffiti campaign that called for active opposition to the Nazi regime. Their activities started in Munich on 27 June 1942; they ended with the arrest of the core group by the Gestapo on 18 February 1943. They, as well as other members and supporters of the group who carried on distributing the pamphlets, faced show trials by the Nazi People's Court (Volksgerichtshof); many of them were imprisoned and executed.” -WIKIPEDIA
They were amazing kids, all committed to good. They posted letters containing pamphlets spreading the truth about what atrocities the Nazis committed and denouncing them. They were rumbled at school by a MAGA NAZI janitor and reported to the Gestapo. Capital punishment was administered using a guillotine to cut these fine young religious and rebellious libtards off at the stem.
‘til the White Rose Blooms again - I should learn that song. Originally sung by Nana Mouskuri
Nazis didn't want to have a great revolt — "Second Warsaw" — nor small revolts, and their passion was to have the extermination machine working smoothly without resistance. -
Attributed to Adolf Eichmann
THE KASTNER TRAIN (Hungary)
The Kastner train was a bit like Schindler’s list, just not as good. Moral squishiness ensued.
The following pattern will probably be the route that official party line Democrats may eventually follow - save themselves first, then offer safety to the richest of the remaining, to buy themselves out. Throw in a few polloi of the hoi for appearances sake and then keep going. They certainly look no credible threat after playing economically right-wing and corporate forward for the last several decades. They are too old, wealthy and out of practice to fight and over time they abandoned and weakened traditional muscular allies like unions. So we don’t want to be waiting for anyone with a right wing D to be arriving anytime soon to save us. It’s every man against his conscience. Of course yes, there are a few lefties but there’s mostly millionaires involved in our political system.
“Rudolf Israel Kastner was a Hungarian-who became known for having helped a group of Jews escape from occupied Europe during the Holocaust on the Kastner train.
That the most efficient means of paralyzing the resistance wheel or the escape of a victim is to conceal from him the plot of the coming murder ...
That he, Kasztner, in order to carry out the rescue plan for the few prominents, fulfilled knowingly and without good faith the stated desire of the Nazis, (keeping quiet about it) thus expediting the work of exterminating the masses.” -WIKIPEDIA
The implication from the Hungarian Kastner Train deal with the devil is ‘don’t tell the rest of the people or passengers what their fate is’. In the Hungarian case - it was the extinction of most for the saving of some. Rescue or escape for the relative few, meant selling most of the others out. Kastner knew of the Auschwitz Report and refused to warn the majority of Hungarians boarding the ‘trains to destruction’ of their fate. This was in order to save his ‘blood for goods’ deal and transfer his small allotment of people (children, rich, villagers and rabbis) that were included on his list to Switzerland.
I can interpret it in hindsight more kindly as a kind of Noah’s Arc tale though, he brought a small ship of people to safety. One could say he was trying to save some people from a worse fate even if he was a very imperfect instrument. He was accused later of selling his soul to the devil by negotiating with Nazis. That is not the real point for this article, the thing is the secrets he kept from those who really needed to hear the truth. Kastner kept what he knew to himself and didn’t warn the young or allow others a chance to flee.
What Leadership Democrats Knew and didn’t warn us about.
Similarly, people on the inside of Democrats knew, they knew Biden was a dud, but they didn’t warn us or say anything either. So the majority of us are now left ‘up the junction’. And so here we are. Abandoned and betrayed by those we were obliged to place false hope in.
There has never been a better time to abandon the two false choices and flood any and every election with a new alliance with one single economic policy. Tax the rich until they squeal. Then tax them again. Spend the takings on the needs of all the people.
But the GOP jeez, they are definitely lining up some mean shit for the plebs. It’s way past mere ‘selling out’. They are lining up the trains and giving out the one way tickets. Palookaville next stop, everyone out!
Now here we are (metaphorically or literally) in the dark and cold and there’s guys with dogs and guns telling us to … empty out your pockets and hand over all your stuff to the rich guys… and walk over there… to processing.
Priest Holes: Anne Frank hides in an attic.
There may be some need to do hidey-seek stuff like that in years to come. You need resources to last the term though, and you can see most American MAGA’s are only too happy to do some finger pointing at their neighbors. Start building your priest holes, attic rooms and girding your loins for fight or flight.
The Natives Are Revolting: disobedience for our own good.
Does this US Corporate Coup and Fascist state want a revolt (so they can impose martial and emergency rules) or are they afraid of the unpopularity and chaos and need desperately to control the mind and thinking of the MAGA under-volkers? The underlings and supporters of the great leader need to be constantly fed with red meat from the screams of the libtards. But when will the sadistic appetite be whet? Have they been misled about who their enemy is?
The Shitestag Fire:
We are likely moving on toward a similar inciting incident like the Reichstag fire. I’m calling it in advance either the ShiteStag fire or Trumplenacht giving it a specific date (4/30/25) the date of the Hexensabbat (witches night) and to get the jump on the Marian and worker centric hope of May Day.
The quite predictable possible introduction of emergency powers and therefore suspension of some or all civil rights likely will be attempted on some found or invented pretext.
The Reichstag fire was needed by the Nazis to impose their will like an iron fist. They did not have a mandate for that, simply took over after a democratic election by a kind of forceful trickery. Once in, that was it. They promised to Make Germany Great Again. Aha, see the pattern.
Right now, back in ‘ol USA, civil and various judicial barriers are some sand in the wheels though of the similar. I hypothesize that, soon oh, very soon, some invented or apropos event will result in the unilateral imposition of a state of emergency on the United States of America. At least partial or full. Some patriotic reason would need to be offered. The press will come on board and a lot of corporately aligned nominal Democrats will even vote for it. Hilariously sad. It seems predictable, everything else is historically falling in line, so why not this happen as well?
I actually hope I am wrong but … please, please prove me stupid! And keep reading.
EDIT: The more obvious name for the incident fire could be the Shitestag fire but shure lookit.
The Reichstag Fire Decree
The Decree that made it all possible was instigated from an inside job. A false flag.
“The Reichstag fire was an arson attack on the Reichstag building, home of the German parliament in Berlin, on Monday, 27 February 1933, precisely four weeks after Adolf Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor of Germany. Marinus van der Lubbe, a Dutch council communist, was the (supposed) culprit; the Nazis attributed the fire to a group of Communist agitators, used it as a pretext to claim that Communists were plotting against the German government, and induced President Paul von Hindenburg to issue the Reichstag Fire Decree suspending civil liberties, and pursue a "ruthless confrontation" with the Communists. This made the fire pivotal in the establishment of Nazi Germany. - WIKIPEDIA
The Nazis had loaded up the building with gas tanks and inflammatory materials to spread the inferno to all the building, they knew beforehand what was to take place, and had weakened political people to just ram it through in a mood of hysteria.
Suspension of Civil Liberties and consolidation of power
“The declaration, known as the Reichstag Fire Decree, went far beyond the typical scope of martial law. Instead of just placing civil authorities under military control, Hitler’s law suspended nearly all civil liberties for German citizens: freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to assemble, etc. The Nazi military police, known as the Sturmabteilung or “storm troopers,” rounded up thousands of suspected communists, who were imprisoned without trial.”

BURNING HOT TAKE (As hot as the Reichstag on fire)
Oh my gosh, this is just a hot take, but what is the thing that would be enough of a fire-starter to be a pretext to suspend civil rights? What if Trump got the eternal chop in some way, from what the Fascists would then claim was ‘the deep state’. Biden did it! An invention, a story of course, but then that would be a real inciting incident. Code red for the tangerine narcissist. He should really watch his food (and his back).
All very complicated though, because even though a lot of us city dwellers so want him gone (he is kinda super evil). Paradoxically we then also kind of need to have him around - the mad annoying orange bastard. Why? Cause he is at least linked to a mandate of dubious sorts, he represents some voters; the other real eviller guys who took him out are completely un-mandated and have an evil plan, that’s even worse! We know what the Germans did with their plans and solutions!
Is that even possible? Yes, of course. Mini-him, the corporate vice-choice would legally slide right-in to the vacant seat and continue the corporate coup with the second un-elected beast at his side. Boom! That’s the real coup within the coup.
The lesser of two evils game is getting really advanced, if DJT is a plausible candidate inclusion for the - he is not even the worst choice category!
Ha ha ha. Ho ho ho. He he he.
MAGA left at the altar
Poor buggly MAGA would be dumped at the altar, thrown over for the hunky Billionaires or for some kind of ‘we got rid of him’ so lets go back to normal- whitewash. MAGA would go bat-shit! They are unaware that Don doesn’t need MAGA now he is President and the MuskRat Corporates definitely don’t want their blue collar sthick around the place either. Maybe a MAGA counter-reaction would facilitate the emergency powers. Then apply even more thumbscrews to all the citizenry, now with no civic guardrails and no need to serve the Dons MAGA hinterland. Like Don said ‘no more elections’. He just didn’t imagine that could then happen without him! Oh my sides.
His Mationalist movement would be decapitated (Don gone) and voiceless in grief. MAGA is already an impediment to the current Corporate coup, the take over of the commonweal, the publicly owned government. So that needy-for-attention orange toddler needs be pushed aside, ousted. Especially now that the Billionaires occupy nearly all the seats and it’s only their hands on the levers of power.
He is currently useful to deliver MAGA lip service and tasty morsels of public cruelty by the one and only WWF style improv president in order to keep them entertained (and so distracted).
Capo Don might have a few more miles on the clock though, or some tricks up his sleeve. We will see if he can still be of use to the powers that be. He certainly is good at distracting and distorting. And lying, boy he really has a gift in that area. The greatest.
He might even see this Oligarchical threat coming for him and have all these Billionaire incel boys arrested for sedition, treason and all of that sort of Democracy thing. Breaking into government offices and stealing citizens data seems a pretty solidly underpinned and popular legal case. That would be bad ass - ‘a push Elon closer to the window’ - Putin-like move right there. The laughter is everywhere, you just need to look for it. Ha ha ha. Ho ho ho. He he he.
Trumplenacht: night of the long shites.
And if the Billionaires do the coup within a coup, or Don goes happily on without MAGA, the MuskyState can then (or later) arrest all the loudest MAGA cause loyalists … but on what charge?
What is the charge - eating a succulent Chinese meal?
Being a Maga-communist! Oh that would be f-funny.
Ha ha ha. Ho ho ho. He he he.
Ernst Rohm: the brownest nose … shirt… in all of Nazidom.
Or do an Ernst Rohm on the Maga boys to Macho Men pose. The Nazis saw Rohm and the original SA group as a threat to their power grab, even though he was a full on loyal Brown shirt. It’s then a hint, and more; an instruction to show utter loyalty, because if he can get it, then anyone can get the dump in Trumpland. The replay theme in today’s farce is that the original NAZI S.A. guys get stabbed in the back - and in today’s podcast murdered Ernst and the SA being cast in our tale by the ever jilted MAGA.
Poor MAGA muppets, they get so played in this hot take! What do you think? Will Donnie last the term or like any great mafioso boss get taken down by his own side? That’s not ketchup, sir. That is a blistering hot crazy stain on the wall.
The Rose Street Protest (or why Nazis hate women and flowers)
“We acted from the heart, and look what happened. If you had to calculate whether you would do any good by protesting, you wouldn't have gone. But we acted from the heart. We wanted to show that we weren't willing to let them go. What one is capable of doing when there is danger can never be repeated. I'm not a fighter by nature. Only when I have to be. I did what was given me to do.”
Public protest: Why did this particular wife (female/mother) led protest bother Hitler, his cronies and make this small but significant change possible? What can we learn? Community, the value of grit and hope perhaps.
The Rosenstrasse protest is considered to be a significant event in German history as it is the only mass public demonstration by Germans in the Third Reich against the deportation of Jews. The protest on Rosenstraße ("Roses street") took place in Berlin during February and March 1943. This demonstration was initiated and sustained by the non-Jewish wives and relatives of Jewish men and Mischlinge, (those of mixed Jewish and Aryan heritage). Their husbands had been targeted for deportation, based on the racial policy of Nazi Germany, and detained in the Jewish community house on Rosenstrasse. The protests, which occurred over the course of seven days, continued until the men being held were released by the Gestapo. The protest by the women of the Rosenstrasse led to the release of approximately 1,800 Berlin Jews.
The women stay out day after freezing day either in complete silence or chanting "give us our husbands back" for hours at a time.
“Despite the media blackout ordered by Goebbels, it was impossible for the state to arrest such a large number of people in Berlin over the course of one day without people noticing. Hundreds of women gathered outside of Rosenstrasse 2-4 and announced that they would not leave until their husbands had been released. Despite periodic threats of being shot on site if the women did not disperse their protest, the women would scatter briefly, and then return to Rosenstrasse 2–4 to continue protesting. Elsa Holzer, a protesting wife, later stated in an interview: "We expected that our husbands would return home and that they wouldn't be sent to the camps. … When my husband need my protection, I protected him ... And there was always a flood of people there. It wasn't organized or instigated. Everyone was simply there. Exactly like me. That's what is so wonderful about it."
DUCKS COUP: Attention for the Generals!
So we may get the Generals saving us yet from this Ducks Coup.
Some in the Wehermacht (the Regular Germany Army) tried to save the German people from even more suffering in the later stages of the second world war by planting a bomb near Hitler at a meeting in Prussia. It was the fifth attempt on him by the patriotic plotters. Sturdy well made German table legs and a guy called Heinz moving the briefcase saved the mini-mustached beast and blocked most of the blast.
This personal attack, in his safe place, made the drug crazed Hitler even more paranoid leading to more temper fits, delusions, micro-control and errors of judgement. Ahh the Battle of the Bulge - four days to the coast on no fuel, yoohoo! These great decisions (the greatest!) helped speed the end of WW2 on the Western front.
“The 20 July plot was a failed attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler, the chancellor and leader of Nazi Germany, and overthrow the Nazi regime on 20 July 1944. The plotters were part of the German resistance, mainly composed of Wehrmacht officers. The leader of the conspiracy, Claus von Stauffenberg, tried to kill Hitler by detonating an explosive hidden in a briefcase. However, due to the location of the bomb at the time of detonation, the blast only dealt Hitler minor injuries. The planners' subsequent coup attempt also failed and resulted in a purge of the Wehrmacht.“
“Some in the plot like Moltke was against killing Hitler; instead, he wanted him placed on trial. Moltke said, "we are all amateurs and would only bungle it". “
- WIKIPEDIA
The dragon, the beast and the second beast.
One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.
For the Christian Pharisee Nationalist crowd: just cause the guy you support is injured and recovers, does not mean God has saved him and as a result you are ok to make an idol from him. And, if he is giving you power, well why do you think that is and where is that power coming from?
The answer is in Matthew 4:9 - if you submit (to evil) you can have all the power. That’s the deal.
The Devil showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
“All this I will give You,” he said, “if You will only fall down and worship me.”
How are you treating your neighbor is the real question. Not so good, I’d say right now.
Today and now is an opportunity to show if a so called Christian (or anyone) can actually discern right from wrong. It’s the basic stuff.
It is a biblically apposite opportunity, to not worship the false and to demonstrate you are not misled by the temptation of the ‘will to power’. The temptation is whether to kiss up (worship) or not. Your choice.
The corporations are forming a line, like in picture below. But they have legal fiction - a personhood with no soul to lose, and they can afford to do that sort of thing. They only worried about paying tax and losing money. They get you to sell your soul to them!
A long line but a short plank.
What profit a man though, to gain the whole world and lose his own integrity?
Who can defeat the beast?
They worshiped the dragon for giving the beast such power, and they also worshiped the beast. “Who is as great as the beast?” they exclaimed. “Who is able to fight against him?”
Revelations 13:4
Who can fight against him? Seemingly no one. And who could be the second boasting beast that the first beast and dragon gave power to? Hmm, do you know, children?
Ho ho ho, the jokes on us. Ha ha ha. Ho ho ho. He he he.
So sick of winning!
Speaking of ‘so sick of winning’ though, the 1945 Germans had that exact same complaint. Ha ha ha. Ho ho ho. He he he.
And cut: It’s only a joke, isn’t it? He doesn’t mean that.

We know what a great safe place we are in and of course nothing like the above could ever happen in the - sure, it’s great already - don’t change a thing - AMERICA! Now with added gulfs (of misunderstanding).
Be of good cheer. Ha ha ha. Ho ho ho. He he he.
Well, that was a bundle of fun! I’m a historian! And now a podcaster.
