The weight of the world is on Merrick Garland and the January 6th Committee's shoulders, at stake is the survival of Democracy itself.
I'm not trying to overstate or exaggerate what is at stake for not just America, and Canada, but the world itself, the shining beacon on the hill is at risk of being extinguished by the rise of White Christian Fascists, a society of religious zealots who ordain that the new America will be their way or the highway for all others who don't assimilate.
Fueled by Donald Trump's vile hatred and overt racism these religious zealots are prepared to destroy the US Constitution and remove all persons who don't fall in line...
Germany in the 1930s....The people, the Jewish people, gypsies, people of colour, all persons who did not have provable German bloodlines became expendable, disposable, had no human value, mere vermin to be eradicated....
These vermin labeled citizens of Germany thought that this Hitler fueled ideology was temporary, would run it's course and that sanity would prevail, neighboring countries' citizens never believed they were at risk, of not only being conquered, but of being turned to ashes, or enslaved to a life of disposable labour to the master race....
There were many German people with morals and decency who thought Hitler's way would never come to pass, but it did, and at a speed that shocked the world....Decent German people, not all but most fell in line and became believers of the Third Reich...
90 years later.....History repeats and persons like Tokyo Rose and Joseph Goebbels reappear to spread their messages of assimilation or die..
Russia committing daily war crimes in Ukraine as they attempt to takeover the country lock stock and by the barrel of a gun, sane countries and people of morality admonish Russia, righteous governments are supplying munitions and firepower to help repel Russia's advances and...
And one-time centrists like Jimmy Dore(Former personality on the Young Turks) applaud Russia's crimes against humanity and call for Ukraine to cede...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFknfmuwXPI
Tucker Carlson and Fox news, Americas most watched infotainment network....Tucker Carlson has called for Ukraine to cede their country to Russia....Treasonous words that literally say to Ukraine..
You are going to die if you don't assimilate and cede everything..
And even worse, hate preachers like Dillon Awes of Stedfast Baptist Church..
"On Sunday, Christian hate-preacher Dillon Awes said that the government should execute every gay person. All of them.

I fear for the safety of the world and Canada for this is not an American problem this is a world problem,....Because if the USA falls into a distorted Fascist Theocracy we will not be safe in Canada, American rightwing elected officials like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers have seriously and publicly stated that the US should invade Canada and remove the "Radical Communist tyrannical leader Justin Trudeau"....And no top GOP elected leader has called out or reprimanded these insane voices...And to be clear, if this Fascist Theocracy gets ahold of America's three branches of Government its only a matter of time before these distorted "Master Race" people will call for the takeover of Canada for it's land and resources.....And there would be nothing we here in Canada could do to stop it...And nobody, no country would come to our rescue..
As of right now....There are 40 million Americans who not only agree with these Fascist Theocracy pushers but would gladly contribute to the end game, and, there are another 50 million Americans, like the German population of the 1930s who would blindly follow their lead...
America at present is lost.....
Georgia primary....Kandiss Taylor, a rightwing fringe lunatic....Her campaign slogan, which garnered her over 40,000 votes on May 22nd is/was...
"Jesus, Guns, Babies"......in that order...This woman is certifiable...
Check out her rally.....And, near the end...Rightwing nutter Stew Peters goes ballistic with lies fueled by hatred of all others.

The world holds it's collective breath....Will the US fall into a distorted Fascist Theocracy led by Donald Trump or do saner heads prevail?
Many so-called Christian preachers are calling all Democrats "demonic, evil" and worse...These hate preachers with massive audiences, all combined there are near 100 million followers of this hatred..

And 100+ other hate preachers...
These hate preachers have anointed Donald Trump as a Messiah, their Messiah.
Can you imagine, Trump, a racist, a hater, an adulterer 100 times over, a criminal, a habitual liar, a conman being hailed as a "Messiah"
Donald Trump.......Evil personified .....A man since being unelected has spread hatred, chaos and stoked fear of everything to his cult members and the White Nationalists, White Christians have placed Trump on a pedestal as their savior....
Even though each and everyone of his cult, each and every hate preacher know Trump is flawed, knows he lies through his teeth, knows he's a cad that has no morals, no decency, none, no respect of family, marriage and who has never been religious, Trump has never read the bible, never served the country, only served himself...
But, none of that matters to the Christian hate preachers....Trump is a tool to help them towards their end-game, indoctrination of all to Christian beliefs, a white country, with closed borders....One step away from gas chambers for all those who disagree, or to those who won't fall in line..
The US Constitution be damned....These zealots want no separation of church and state...They want the bible, they want that fictional fucked bible to rule over mankind...and those who disagree be damned..
That's the fight Merrick Garland and the January 6th commission are undertaking, at stake is the fate of the world..
The US Supreme court, filled with Supreme court justices that lied about Roe versus Wade...Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginni Thomas engaged in helping Trump trying to overthrow the government...Justices Amy Barrett, Kavanaugh, and others who lied to get the nomination and confirmation....A woman now has no control over her body, LBGTQ and others under this Fascist Theocracy revival will be next...executed..,
Everything is on the line with these hearings..
Perplexed...Why wasn't Trump arrested days after his failed coup attempt...That has bothered me, more than enough evidence to convict him 10 times over..
Even Republican elected leaders immediately after January 6th coup attempt called Trump out, called him the catalyst...But...Trump's cult, Christians, preachers and the brainwashed haters didn't, and for the sake of power 90% of all Republicans reembraced Trump and Trumpism..
Therein lies the problem Merrick Garland and DOJ face.
Arrest Trump right after the coup attempt and lock Trump up....They didn't because they feared making Donald J Trump a Martyr.
And in thinking about it....They made the right decision.
The weight of the world, and survival of all free and Democratic societies are on the line for Merrick Garland and the January 6th Commission...
They must use facts, passion and solemn words to destroy Trumpism.
The people, Americans, Christians too, they all must be shown concise details of the plot to end Democracy in America...
Then we must hope, and even pray that the people, that the majority walk away from Donald Trump and Trumpism freely, of their own accord.....And if they don't?
It's Game Over for Democracy.....and our Canadian Government better start building nuclear arms and have them at the ready for the inevitable invasion from the USA...
__________________________
updated June 11th 2022....For those that think i'm overstating the risk of the USA falling out of Democracy......Just look at what happened to Afghanistan...
Here is a picture of how ladies in Afghanistan dressed in the 1950s..Before the theocratic religious zealots(Taliban) took over....Afghanistan was very progressive..until the religious freaks took over.

US Senator Barry W Goldwater's warning from 1981....He made this statement on the Senate floor.
"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”

A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as being the second-largest source of popular fake stories spread on Facebook that year,[6] and a June 2018 Poynter analysis identified NewsPunch as being debunked over 80 times in 2017 and 2018 by Poynter-accredited factcheckers such as Snopes, FactCheck.org, PolitiFact, and the Associated Press.[7]
The European Union's East StratCom Task Force has criticized NewsPunch for spreading Russian propaganda, a charge Adl-Tabatabai denies.[3]

THE JAN. 6 HEARINGS
It’s been 17 months since rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol in violent protest of the results of the presidential election.
A special House select committee has interviewed hundreds of witnesses – including Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump – and watched thousands of hours of video footage from that fateful day. Tonight, at 8 p.m., we will get our first glimpse at what they’ve found.
In a rare primetime session, which some people are comparing to the Watergate hearings, committee members — seven Democrats and Republican Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger — and will lay out their case. All of the major broadcast and cable networks plan to carry it live — except Fox News, which is instead opting for regular programming from hosts Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity.
That chaotic day in January 2021 exposed the fraying of our American democracy and shined a light on myriad extremists and hate groups – some with antisemitic overtones (here’s the guide we published back then). In the crowd was a man in a “Camp Auschwitz” sweatshirt (who pleaded guilty a year later to illegally entering the Capitol) and a neo-Nazi who nearly beat someone to death for declining to give a “seig heil” salute.

Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, warned in a recent Forward OpEd and in his new book, “It Could Happen Here,” that Jan. 6 could happen again. “Perhaps instead of combusting all at once, our nation will fall into violence more gradually,” Greenblatt argues, pointing to the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. “The good news is that decent, upstanding Americans far outnumber the haters and insurgents.” Read the essay ➤
Through the collective damage – both physical and psychic – emerged glimmers of hope. A group of Hasidim from New York headed south after the riots in a pickup truck stocked with $10,000 worth of energy drinks, chocolate bars and toiletries, and handed them out to the soldiers deployed to protect the inauguration and federal buildings.
Aron Wieder, who was part of that mission, noted that his four grandparents were rescued by the U.S. Army during the liberation of the Dora-Mittelbau concentration camp in 1945. “I will never miss an opportunity to say thank you to you guys and what you are standing for,” he recalled telling the troops. Read the story ➤
Also: Is antisemitism on the docket? Where are the Jewish rioters now? Those and other questions answered in this analysis of the Jewish angles to the hearings.
Are we even living in anything that could be remotely called a democracy?
When asked this very same question, Peter Thiel (PayPal Founder, Sullivan&Cromwell, Bilderberg Steering Committee Member, Palantir) said the following:
"My updated version on it would be that — I made the case that I thought democracy and capitalism weren’t quite compatible — the updated version I would give is it’s not at all clear that we’re living in anything resembling a democracy. We’re living in a representative republic, but then that’s modified through a judicial system. Of course, that’s been largely superseded by these very unelected agencies of one sort or another, which really drive most of the decision-making. I think calling our society a democracy, whatever may be good or bad about democracy, is very, very deeply misleading. We’re not a republic. We’re not a constitutional republic. We are actually a state that’s dominated by these very unelected, technocratic agencies.
The very difficult political question is, “How can you get an advanced, technological society to function in any way that’s more republican or more democratic at all?
"I'm not at all sure how that is, but I think the challenge is that a lot of these agencies have become deeply sclerotic, deeply nonfunctioning, even though the alternatives to them, politically, often seem to be even worse. The Federal Reserve — lots of things they do, I don’t like, but then once you get people in Congress involved in dictating Fed policy, that always seems even worse."
@ 8:56 pm.......Well, call it what you want.......It's still better than any of the alternatives.
All politicians suck, beholden to big money, cronyism and self dealing..
But....We can vote them out.
Yea, it's not much, but better than the alternatives.
Cheers
I thought the hearings went great...laid out many facts....can't wait for round 2
And yes, hardcore maggots will never admit the truth, even though in their minds they know the truth, know Trump is an unhinged liar.
The hearing, thus far used Republicans' own words to destroy Trump's false narrative..
The hearings are aimed at the 30% of Americans who are identified as unaffiliated/independents.
These are the people with brains...unlike hardcore rightwingers, and leftwingers....
Independents are the ones who decide elections
Myself...I go back n forth...Try to vote for the most sane..
I've voted Harper(once)...Campbell(once)....Horgan(once)...Greens(once)...Trudeau(once)
That's the difference.....People who are one party lapdogs are mere mindless sheep...Those that can't admit when their party choice fucked up and or are bad government are the real losers.....
Policy debates aside.....There are no alternative truths/facts....Truth is truth...And in this case...Trump is deranged, a racist, an overall asshole who in one term nearly ended Democracy as we know it..
Cheers
Eyes Wide Open
Nice discussion.
Judy Rudoren writing at the Forward spills the beans about the narrative being a movie. Hollywood director hard at work. As an added bonus Judy "sees" Liz Cheney's mug via "the radio." Now that is someone acting with the strength of her convictions:
She writes: "My first taste of last night's Congressional hearing on the Jan. 6 insurrection came the old-fashioned way, via radio, as my daughter and I returned home from our weekly volunteer shift at the Manna Food Pantry. The signature Mississippi drawl of Rep. Bennie Thompson, the Democrat who chairs the special investigative committee, filled up the car with its gravity and intention. My daughter, who is finishing ninth grade, said he sounded as if he were narrating a movie — "To Kill a Mockingbird" came to her mind.
"In a way, he was. Over the next two hours, Thompson and his partner, Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, hosted an expertly curated multimedia experience unlike any Congressional hearing in history. With revelatory clips from the committee's interviews with Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump and Bill Barr; never-before-seen and brilliantly edited footage of the rioters; and a wrenching live interview with a Capitol police officer injured in the melee, the hearing instantly brought back that dark day for our democracy and made a devastating case for a conspiracy of culpability rooted in the Oval Office.
"But in some ways the most powerful images of the night were the expressions on Cheney's face."
Go away troll....Stick to licking Alex Jones' rear end.
To my resident troll.....Trump derangement syndrome is not what i'm about..But to be clear, what's going on in the USA politically is the most worrying of all. To be clear, if the USA falls and turns into a Fascist theocracy Canada will be consumed.. That is why these hearings are so important. As for those that say editing and theatrics by the J6 committee paint the wrong picture of that day is bullshit.. Trump used campaign style attack ads on big screens during whitehouse press conferences...Trump used the power of the whitehouse to promote bullshit.. 30,000 + documented lies from Trump in 4 years.... However, evangelicals and racists didn't care....Trump was a means to their end. Wild salmon near gone, old growth forests being slashed down...our weather, 50+ years I didn't have to breathe forest fire smoke, not once...now..5 years in a row inhaling ashes.. Those are important topics....However, unless the USA gets back on the right track, or at least a sane track...We can't save our environment once US tanks roll across the border and we get consumed. Trump...he won't be reelected, that I know...Trump and his people need to be put-down...The Fascist theocracy needs to be put down.. Because...Ron Desantis who'll be the 2024 GOP nominee is worse than Trump, policy wise... Lastly....I'll write hard-hitting stories when they matter....as of now..BC has no government worth voting for, not the NDP Liberal light, not the BC Lib/con party...Andrew Weaver destroyed the Green Party's momentum when he went on bended knee and kissed Horgan's arse....Weaver had the power to bring Horgan down over a brutal Site C decision, or on LNG boondoggle, Horgan would have caved to remain in power....Green party withered away after that.
Good Day
