74 years ago this week, on 11/9/38, the horrifying event occurred that the Nazi Party called Krystallnacht. It could be said that the events of that night represented the official start of Adolf Hitler’s “endless war” against the Jews, but the methods used to justify that war were not an aberration.

Rather, the Night of the Shattering Glass, which saw the plate glass windows of a thousand Jewish businesses shattered (with most Jewish synagogues going up in flames and the first batch of 26,000 Jewish men heading for the concentration camps) was simply another example of an all-too-common historical reality that has been going on ever since the first tyrant orchestrated the first false flag operation that gave him a reason to declare, with flags waving behind, the first “retaliatory” war against a feared or hated scapegoat/enemy. And then, through cunning propaganda tactics, that tyrant plausibly denied responsibility for the coming violence because the enemy was, after all, the one who drew “first blood”.

On Saturday evening, on a quiet residential street in Bexley, Ohio, a crowd began gathering along the sidewalk in the cold. Word had spread that the wealthy home owner was hosting a fundraiser for Senator John Husted. Neighbors and other area constituents gathered to protest the Senator’s decision to mingle with donors at a fundraiser while he remains inaccessible to everyday Ohioans. Senator Husted has yet to open a single in-state office and voters cannot get through on his one DC telephone number. 

Social media is awash with liberal progressive WOKE people decrying Trump's decision to end the American Empire's proxy war against Russia. I certainly understand why liberal progressive WOKE people despise Trump, as I am one of them. However, once upon a time, Democrats were the antiwar party. Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden ended that masquerade. It appears that many antiwar liberals crossed over to the pro-war side. This is understandable to some extent, as the Empire's propaganda machine has been demonizing Putin and Russia for my entire life, as well as convincing the electorate that war is sometimes necessary.

In 1962, President John F Kennedy negotiated an end to the Cuban Missile Crisis, an event that had American children learning how to survive a nuclear blast, by hiding under their desks, while their parents absorbed the feeling of helplessness. The threat was very real, as America learned much later that nuclear tipped missiles were already in Cuba, and that ground level commanders were authorized to use them.
