RFK, Jr: The New Karl Brandt?

RFK, Jr has been very vocal of late concerning the unhappy plight of people with autism and the drain they place on society and their families. This redounds with Aktion T4, a private authorisation signed by Hitler in 1939 to authorise the involuntary euthanasia of children and adults with disabilities. Dr. Brandt and his associatesContinue reading “RFK, Jr: The New Karl Brandt?”

The Munich Irony

More than a few pundits have noted the ironic similarity of this week’s Munich conference between leaders of the European Union and JD Vance of the US, and the Munich conference of 1938. In 1938, Hitler, Neville Chamberlain, PM of Britain, Édouard Daladier of France and Mussolini decided the fate of the then Czechoslovakian state,Continue reading “The Munich Irony”

Surviving an Abusive Country?

Most of you who have read my blogs or novels will know that I spent many years working as a prison chaplain in the US during the late 70s and early 80s.

The Nightmare Begins

I worked in both men’s and women’s prisons, in the American South and the Midwest. I had a front-row seat to witness the gross injustice of the state and federal “justice system.” In fact, itContinue reading “Release All Felons from American Prisons”

The Demon in Democracy

Even the basic student of history knows that democracy has one internal flaw: It can be voted out of existence. In early 1933, Hitler’s National Socialists (Nazis) were legally and democratically elected. That was Germany’s last election for 16 years. During the interim, the nazis brought about the cataclysmic Second World War, including the destructionContinue reading “The Demon in Democracy”

The Mystery of Donald Trump and the Poisoned Blood!

Donald Trump’s Christmas gift to America–and the world–was the following: “They are poisoning the blood of our country,” Trump said about immigrants. “And I’m not talking about a specific group… they’re destroying our country. They’re coming in from every continent, and we have no idea, we have no idea who they are, what they represent.Continue reading “The Mystery of Donald Trump and the Poisoned Blood!”
