Pondering the imponderable
What happened at Auschwitz was not incidental or accidental. This must be known —for all time — as a fact that cannot be disputed. The future of humanity is utterly dependent on understanding what happened, how it happened, and why it happened.
Tucker Carson has revealed himself as something hideous and dangerous. He is a major player in America’s fascist movement led by Donald Trump.
During the last 10 years the American media has demanded that the American people ignore what is plainly in front of them in the name of “balance.” Fox News remains a partner in good standing for The New York Times and Washington Post. Access reporters deny and shade the truth with purposeful omissions that distort reality as much as anything that comes out of Trump’s mouth. All the while, no matter what, the extremism continues to spread because challenging it means challenging a convention that holds what is happening here can’t happen here because everybody hung out together at the White House Correspondents’ dinner.
Fascism thrives when democracy is weak. Fascism takes root in an instant when it can sink its teeth into power. Fascism takes root when the lie can be the truth, and what the leader says is always true.
JD Vance and Donald Trump are in bed with Tucker Carlson and his pack of Nazis.
I hope you will read about Auschwitz:
Auschwitz: what is its meaning?
What is the meaning of this place? At some level, Auschwitz is imponderable. It simply overwhelms. My guide was Pawel, who was a radio journalist before coming to Auschwitz 16 years ago, to help humanity remember what happened here. I had been to Auschwitz once before in 2005, as part of the American delegation led by Vice President Cheney, which includ…
I’d like you to ponder the imponderable today, but more than anything, I want you to understand that any person who says what happened there didn’t is an enemy of humanity.
On one of the pages on Substack, I saw a link to Senator Rand Paul’s page. I click on it and the first three items were mostly praise for the following people: Tucker Carlson, J.D. Vance, and Alex Jones.
If we want to see where our problems arise from, we might start by looking at who Americans send to represent them. We have met the enemy and found it is us.
Thank you Steve. If Americans think Auschwitz can’t happen here, they are wrong. Another Trump presidency will promote fascism and people will lose their lives. There is absolutely no excuse for the “both sides “ media. The people in charge of newspapers, TV networks etc. know what Trump and the 2025 people plan to do. They hide behind their “both sides” pretense and bide their time. The NY Times has no excuses. Everyone in the NY/NJ area has seen Trump. We saw the Covid body bags. We remember the attack on our Capitol. We know about the bone spurs and his disdain for veterans. The Times trashed Joe Biden and is hard on Kamala Harris. There’s no “north star” for the media. Unfortunately, if Trump wins, we will all go down along with the MSM.
