The comparison of WWI hero Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg*, who for years as President of the Weimar Republic was ineffective in stopping Adolf H*tler's rise to power, to the 2020-2024 Democratic Party and their inability to stop Dummkopf Trumpf, has not been lost to historians.

From 21 Jan 2021 to 19 Jan 2025, USAG Merrick Garland sat on the explosive and damaging Jeffrey Epstein files.

His first mission on 21 January 2021 should have been ordering the DOJ to redact those files for use by SC Jack Smith and other agencies to expose Trumpf as a sexual predator.

Trumpf would have spent four years fighting off SC Jack Smith's multi-prong prosecution, in addition to Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and NYSAG Letitia James, as well as civil lawsuits from Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell victims.

The geriatric sexual predator lost his case against E. Jean Carroll, a woman he sexually attacked decades ago.

In the court of public opinion, at minimum Trumpf would have lost supporters disgusted by pedophilia and human sex trafficking. They may have stayed home on Tuesday 5 Nov 2024 because Republicans would not have voted for Kamala Harris. Similarly, many progressives stayed home that day because of the Gaza genocide. These antiwar people did not vote for Jill Stein who received a meager 628,000 votes.

*In recent years, numerous German local bodies have derecognized Hindenburg. In February 2020, Hindenburg's Berlin honorary citizenship had also been revoked. The decision was passed by Berlin's left-wing coalition of Social Democrats, The Left and Greens.[Source: Wikipedia]

Iran is a perfect example of the "Law of Unintended Consequences."

Through CIA (Teddy Roosevelt's son Kermit), the US installed the Peacock Throne in 1953.

For 26 years this brutal satrapy detained and tortured dissidents with the CIA and Mossad trained SAVAK.

The result was the slow and steady elimination of the intelligentsia and academics, the moderates of Iran.

After the notorious Shah was overthrown, there were no moderate leaders to fill the leadership void.*

Senor military officers who did not flee Iran would have been seen as part of the ancien regime, so they ruled themselves out.

The one group of educated people with a network and who had considerable moral authority were the religious leaders, like Ayatollah Khomeini.

Hence the theocracy took hold in Iran.

Tehran immediately opposed two regimes: Israel and Suid-Afrika for their apartheid policies, not the US.

When Israel invaded southern Lebanon in 1982, the Shia Muslims were getting clobbered and their Amal militia was ineffective.

Iran began helping their co-religionists in southern Lebanon because nobody else in the world was.

That was the genesis of Lebanese Hezbollah.

*Napoleon filled the void after the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. He rallied the citizenry who were now being attacked by the UK, Prussia, and other countries that wanted to reinstall the Bourbons. Lenin, Trotsky and finally Stalin did the same in post-Czarist Russia.

The UK is doing more than the US to rein in our evil oligarch overlords.

Encroyable.

ICE is pulling schitt like this all over in Minnesota:

And the ICE thug points a Taser at the other person in the car.

This is unreal.

If the US is still around in 2028, the next non-Republican administration better dismantle DHS and ICE immediately.

Other Western democracies that suffered terrorism did not establish all-powerful organizations like DHS and ICE.

For years the British dealt with IRA terrorism and insurgencies in their overseas possessions (e.g. the Mau-Maus in Kenya, the Malay insurgency) and the French did not create any new intelligence organs to deal with grievance guerrillas.

9/11 was an excuse to make America a police state by creating DHS and ICE and many people fell for it. Worse, no administration since 2002 defanged or dismantled DHS and ICE.

So here we are today.

#35 Hi Effeteposer: Thanks for the lead on Robert Johnson. I will check out the sheet music.

For the audiences attending Elizabethan plays, music wasn't as important as seeing "action" and hearing witty lines.

To help set the mood or a timeframe for a scene in classical theater, the Chorus would appear:

"Behold and witness the fortunes and misfortunes of two great families in Spain, each undone by their own hand in time of plague and war."

In today's film and theater this is done by music.

The Elizabethan actors of the Globe Theater and other playhouses were all accomplished acrobats and fencers, as well as melee weapon combatants. Stage battles had to look realistic to the audience. Any one of them was more dangerous than any common conscripted foot soldier of the English Army. In fact, playwright Ben Jonson relished going to war and participating in brawls or duels.

Theater special effects were superbly done and audiences would see limbs flying off and blood splattering everywhere.

Thanks to the Israeli Mossad, who didn't give a darn about their sources and assets in Iran, 700 Iranians were easily rounded up for espionage by the experienced Iranian counterintelligence agencies for helping Israel. Six were executed within days of capture.

This is the opposite of Ukraine and their SBU who take care of assets captured by the Russians.

I hope these useful idiots who helped Israel thought their lives were worth it.

"Thanks for nothing, Israel!"

And there's antisemite MAGA who is raising money for Jonathan Ross.

*** Off-Duty IDF Soldier Kills Palestinian in Road Rage Incident ***

9 Jan 2026, Washington DC (AP/Evan Vucci)

'US President Dummkopf Trumpf said there is no room in his MAGA movement or the Republican Party for antisemites.'

In a wide-ranging two-hour interview with The New York Times, whose full transcript was published on Sunday, Trumpf was asked about leading conservative figures who have espoused antisemitic views and their place in the Republican Party and Make America Great Again movement.

"I think we don't need them. I think we don't like them," Trumpf responded.'

~snip~

A few years ago, super-oligarch Larry Ellison donated millions of dollars to the IDF and at the 2025 White House Hannukah party, mega-oligarch Miriam Adelson pledged $250m to Dummkopf Trumpf to run for a third term. So, dirt poor Mississippi should have a brand new synagogue in no time.

Has anyone seen any reports of female ICE personnel conducting operations?

I haven't seen any.

Rednecks think the universe is held together by duct tape.

Years ago, the ten-week GS-1811 Criminal Investigator Training Program (CITP) at FLETC (and the old INS Immigration Agent series course) didn't emphasize traffic stops, even though we had a few days of it (how to approach a vehicle, remove an uncompliant suspect, but that was minimal). Deliberate raid training and house clearing was stressed, not ad hoc hasty traffic checkpoints.

In this madness, clever federal agents would employ the experts at traffic stops and DWI checkpoints-- the local police.

Local and state police are more trained and experienced and have the right tools: orange traffic cones, spotlights, and heavy patrol cars.

Once the local police have channelized vehicles into a single lane at a checkpoint, the federal agent would then ask the driver for proof of citizenship or residency. If cleared, the agent tells the the police officer who takes over with instructions for the driver.

"Please go straight on, Ma'am." And he visibly signals "OK" for all to see.

If not cleared, the agent tells the officer to pull them over.

"Please pull to the side here, Sir." And he visibly signals "86-er" for all to see.

These ad hoc teams of ICE agents who never worked together before or conducted rehearsals are why these stupid senseless tragedies happen. Plus the lack of quality personnel.

I'll try to remember the link issue for future posts.

Besides Shakespeare (and his contemporaries), Agatha Christie, Damon Runyan, and PG Wodehouse for fiction and literary pleasures; all re-readable, depending on your whims and fancies.

Michael Crichton wrote some avant-garde works, but I have yet to re-read any of his novels. Perhaps I'll re-visit The Terminal Man (1972) in a few months.

Some of Erle Stanley Gardner's Perry Mason mysteries are worth re-reading for the courtroom dialectics.

My wife gave me Stephen King's Pet Sematary for our anniversary because the author himself said he couldn't read it for one full year out of fright; and he wrote the novel himself. I'll be getting to that soon.

Here is the 1950 Romulus of pseudo-science that I mentioned.

Hah!

If I had time, I would re-watch the "In Search of...." TV series I posted, but that would mean less reading.

You may enjoy reading Immanuel Velikovsky's books.

*** More Federal Agents to be Deployed to Minneapolis to Terrorize Residents ***

"The diabolical Trumpf junta will deploy "hundreds more" federal agents to Minneapolis "today and tomorrow" to support the work of ICE agents in terrorizing the population, warned the inhuman Secretary of Homeland Security. This announcement comes days after an ICE goon shot and killed mother of three Renee Nicole Good in cold blood and S/DHS told Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) to 'grow up.'"

Maybe FIFA didn't understand what a Peace Prize is for.

And what a disaster FIFA 2026 is going to be (and the rest of the world).

This feels like we're high on the iceberg lookout posts on the Titanic, see this mammoth mountain of ice straight ahead of us, and whistling Dixie.

What a global body count we'll have at the end of the year.

*** Dummkopf Trumpf Admits He Wants US to Own Greenland as Property, Not for US National Security ***

"Dummkopf Trumpf says a military presence on Greenland is not sufficient, and he wants to have ownership of the Arctic island, citing the Russian and Chinese presence in the Arctic, which is an ineffective canard.

The White House Windbag whined that defenses on the massive island, which is controlled by Denmark, cannot defend itself.

"Greenland, basically, their defense is two dogsleds," Trumpf sniveled late Sunday on Air Force One. "In the meantime, you have Russian destroyers and submarines and [Chinese] destroyers and submarines all over the place."

The man who never worked a day in his life and evaded the draft during the Vietnam War is making no secret of his covetous desire to annex Greenland into the US to advance economic, not national security, interests.

The nefarious Trumpf junta says it wants to purchase the island, but the geriatric sexual predator who illegally abducted President Nicolas Maduro and killed over ~100 Venezuelans, has not ruled out military action, angering Danish officials and NATO members in Europe.

European leaders have urged the US to respect Greenland's sovereignty, and Denmark said the US has wide access to the island through its Pituffik Air Force Base.

"We have bases on Greenland," the greedy Dotard-in-Chief bleated Sunday. "You need ownership. You need title, as they say in the real estate business."

Ofcom has decided to open a formal investigation to establish whether X has failed to comply with its legal obligations under the Online Safety Act " in particular, to:

The world's richest man, good-for-nothing Felon Musk, has also been stoking racial tensions in the UK. The mega-oligarch posted pathetic apologies and weak defenses of X and Grok AI:

California firefighters never protected their property, police officers never kept them safe, street cleaners never took care of their neighborhoods, right?
