Trump, Attacking Harvard
IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING that Trump's attack on Harvard University is is a complete scam, a "hoax" if you will, in the sense that Trump's real reasons for launching it differ enormously from those given by the now fascist federal government's propaganda machine, Jjoseh Goebbels become Karoline Leavitt. Real reason number one is that Harvard is not only perhaps the greatest university in the world, but, like nearly all great universities, colleges, and educational institutions generally, a hub of progressive thinking and ideology. At Harvard, books are read, not banned, LGBTQ people are treated like human beings, and science is not rejected and replaced by religious fanaticism and conspiracy theories, as in mainstream conservative America. Go figure. Other reasons might include Trump's inability to qualify for Harvard as a student. The stated reason by our fascist overlordsis that Harvard fosters anti-Semitism, and is biased. Biased against extreme right wing conservatism, anti-Semitic because whenever a few sstudentsfrom the Middle East stage a peaceful protest against Israeli "activity" in Gaza, suddenly, the whole university is anti-semitic", according to the, tyrant, absolute fatuous nonsense which, like all such Trump lunacy, is warmly accepted by his MAGA mob, lapping it up like maggots clinging to bull manure. Defenders and promoters of Israel's Israeli Defense Force "operations" in Gaza stridently but falsely exclaim that no genocide is taking place. Technically, presently, perhaps not, but, as Davy Crockett once said about genocide and Indian removal, "Its a mite too close for comfort". If it isn't genocide, it certainly is a fine start headed in precisely that direction. Netanhayu, a tyrant of Putain-Trumpian proportions, has, amazingly, seemingly bouoght in to Trump's lunatic plan of removing all two point four million Gazans to various locations around the world, and developing the devastrated Gaza strip into a Riviera style resort mini-state, the mythical Nation of Trump. Rendering Harvard weak and impotent and relegating Palestine to the proverbial dust bin of history are both causes which enjoy, so it seems, the near complete support ofthe most dangerous violent gang in human history, MAGA 13. Whatever the plural of the word "axis" is,if there is one, we define them here as unholy internationalallience,like the famous Germany-Italy-Japan axis of World War Two, or the Iran-North Korea-Russia-China axis we allegedly have today, there is, arguably an axis of Putin-Trump, et al. Authoritarian, white Christian male right wing extremism, united in common cause internationally. We note that these "axi" or "axises" tend toward the dark side, and we, among the shrinking American sane, panic and wonder what to do about it. The final solution, so to speak, may require and involve a loose coalition of tne American judiciary, the American people, and the civilized world, what there is of it. In the nineteen thirties, German poet and playwright Bertolt Brecht, seeing what was coming, wrote: "In the earthquakes to come it is to be hoped I shan't allow bitterness to quench my cigar's glow". We seem to once again be a civilization poised on the abyss, looking down, undecided. From the darkness below we think we hear a faint whisper, perhaps from another German poet, with another warning...."If thou gaze long into the abyss, the abyss will gaze into thee...
