Between the battleship contracts and all of the shady Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) deals, why should this morbidly-obese draft-dodging silver-spooned golf cheating pedophile care about those of us in the hoi polloi?

"To be a Jew is to always side with the oppressed, never the oppressor."

And people that are justifiably angry about the Gaza genocide who want to destroy Israel because of the Likudnik crimes will harm innocent Jews who are against these outrages.

Jewish lawyers represent the Palestinians in court just as hard as our public defenders in the Legal Aid Society.

Wanting to destroy Israel would be like one sin heaped on top of another and a never-ending cycle of blood-thirsty vengeance and vendetta, just like we read in Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus.

Indeed, Doc Sarvis. My friend is a Cold Warrior who flew USAF missions during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He also shook hands with JFK, MLK, Jackie Robinson, and a galaxy of other plenipotentiaries.

"V.C." relates the same kind of stories to me and it's always a treat when he relates his firsthand eye- and ear- witness details.

In these past 63 years the US straggled away from a potential nuclear apocalypse to today's certain economic Armageddon.

Remarkable.

These trolls aren't Jews condemning antisemitism, but paid subversives.

They infect many progressive websites.

Phony liberals on these websites are artful AIPAC-ers and covert MIGAts.

Like mobsters, they come smiling and act all A Friendly on the blogs but they have one sinister agenda: Israel's primacy in the US body politic.

"Only AIPAC Democrats can win US elections or we'll suffer perennial Republican rule! Who cares if the IDF killed 72,825 Muslims with US weapons and money? My family's life here in the US is more important than those hijab-wearers in Gaza and the West Bank!"

Unlike Israel, Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the IAEA, UN, MI6, CIA, DIA, the Mossad, and USGS never recorded a nuclear weapons test emanating from Iran.

This illogical stance is pure Islamophobia which is bankrupting America financially and morally.

One economist wrote, when all is said and done, this illegal war against the people of Iran will cost Americans "trillions" of dollars.

Thanks Bibi and AIPAC. GFY!

@4 I am sad to read that, Dutch46.

Many Americans die with less than $1,500 in savings and some are completely impecunious.

Hi Doc Sarvis

I read Essence of Decision years ago about the Cuban Missile Crisis, which I'm sure you read or heard of.

After JFK made a televised speech about the potential of an "atomic war" with the USSR, people began buying nuclear fallout shelters and some built their own.

Ted Sorensen, the wordsmith behind JFK, made it all sound so patriotic, that JFK's approval rating increased after this speech about a potential apocalypse.

Time permitting later tonight, I'll post an OP with some factoids from "A Question of Character: A Life of JFK" by Thomas C. Reeves, as I did with Sinclair Lewis' 1927 tome Elmer Gantry.

Hi Doc Sarvis

1955 and 1956 were seminal years to learn about the inner workings of the Third Reich.

The Nazi underlings like you mentioned were finally released from Soviet gulags after serving their ten year sentences.

Their memoirs and interviews became a fount of personal information and Sir Anthony Hopkins jumped at the role of playing Der Fuhrer when one of those books became a made-for-TV film in the late 1970s or early 1980s.

Presently I am reading "A Question of Character: A Life of JFK" by Thomas C. Reeves.

In 1960, everybody knew a US invasion of Cuba was going to happen: newspapers, activists, DOD, Congress, and most importantly, Fidel Castro.

Under "Ike," Cuban ex-patriates were being trained by CIA in Guatemala ("Brigade 2506") and the "secret" was a sieve.

The only unknown was when the attack would take place and the precise location in Cuba.

The US was to provide no uniformed personnel or equipment, so CIA and USAF planes were disguised and the operation would therefore be a purely Cuban "counter-revolution."

The Bay of Pigs was unwisely chosen and Fidel's tremendous, well-motivated, and well-equipped army was ready for Brigade 2506.

The always victorious JFK had to suffer his first public black eye as POTUS and he furiously wanted to dismantle CIA, "casting it into the four winds."
