The well known Nazi sympathizer and current secretary of war, DUI hire Pete Kegsbreath, is either a Nazi or cosplaying at one with this intentional misspelling. It is absolutely wild how many full-on Nazis and Nazi sympathizers there are running the US government now. This is the result of right wing politics being so right wing that the left in America is center-right and the right is fascist and authoritarian now.

Are they aware that the full name of Nazi has the word socialism in it? Or are they just glomming on to the anti-semitic, anti-intellectual, anti-immigrant part? Of course the flip side is the super Christian, white supremacy part, which they also seem to love.

According to Christian dogma, the “Good Samaritan” is spending their lifetime in burning fire, while Hitler and Goebbels are enjoying an eternity in heaven with the angels. That’s right. Because what grants entry into heaven is belief in Christ, not works. Sure, some theologians or apologists will claim otherwise, but absent any known conversion by the “Good Samaritan” and a known disavowal by Hitler and Goebbels, that’s what their religion says.

That means that American Protestantism, and Christianity in general, is not a moral group; they are merely a membership group. “Deathbed conversions” means that you can be the most evil person possible for a lifetime, but if at the last moment you believe in Jesus, you will be rewarded with a blissful eternity. That is not a religion based on morality, it’s a religion based on membership. And as such, it should have no place in a moral life.

And a silent God can be made to say or support anything.

Another way to say this might be, “Absence of action is functionally the same as nonexistence.”

And yet this ghoul will probably not only not get suspended or fired, he will probably face no consequences whatsoever. A couple of days later he was forced to apologize for his actions, but probably only after being pressured to. This monster said what he really thought, and only apologized to try to avoid accountability, with no real change in his “views”. And I hasten to call them opinions, because killing people for the “crime” of being poor doesn’t seem to be an opinion, it seems like the attitude of a person and a “movement” that can only be described as a death cult. And these people claim to be Christians and hide behind the Bible! And even though the main charge in the Bible for Christian actions is to care for the poor. And in the same article, they mention that two children were killed and 17 other people, 14 of them children, in yet another mass shooting at a school.

The only conclusion is that their God is truly evil or that they only use God to justify their actions. I used to think that even though their practitioners cause irreparable harm, that there may be still some good in their intentions. But that seems to be just wishful thinking on my part — and that their “God” is simply a manifestation of their own desires. And dark desires they are.

It seems like a only a weak God would need to his followers to also become salespeople, i.e. evangelize. If your God had any influence in the world, they could just zap people into belief. If the religion was real, people would just realize which one was the right God. No need to put Bibles in hotels. No need to go door to door selling it. No reason to stand on the streetcorners with signs. No need to encourage people to go to church on their Facebook pages. Frankly, it feels insulting to them. It’s as if their God was saying, “I have no power in your world.” And I’ve said for a long time, a God that doesn’t interfere is no different than an absent God.

There has been quite an uproar over the non-release and coverup of the Epstein files by the current administration. But we are confused. Everyone has known that he is a serial sexual predator since 2015. And then there is Katie Johnson & Virginia Giuffre who directly accused him of rape in court during the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, in which she was convicted of child sex trafficking. What makes us normal people so upset is the number of people who voted for him knowing these facts. We don’t understand how you could know that and still vote for him. Why are they complaining now? You knew he was a predator, a child rapist, and pedophile. Why now? They KNEW this and ignored it. How can they now claim to be anti-child rape? Anti-pedophile? It doesn’t make sense to us, and probably never will.

I get it, Christian morality has a dilemma: you can’t seem to change your stances on moral issues because if you do, then you’re accused of relative morality. And if you don’t, then you’re accused of being irrelevant to any moral conversation because an all-knowing, omniscient God knows the future and should know that, for example, slavery would eventually be considered immoral in most circumstances.

But, I’m old enough to remember when American Christians:

• Led the calls for gun control after Columbine
• Believed fathering multiple children out of wedlock with multiple women, as well as being a known adulterer, was disqualifying for high office
• Were the main opposition to gambling,
• Believed one of their main activities as an organization was helping the poor

So it’s absolutely ludicrous to claim that their morals aren’t flexible and don’t change. Admittedly, they’ve always hated anything LGBT, but if they can change in their stance on gun control, and whatever else, then there’s no reason they can’t change their morals as it comes to basically anything.

But religion is about control and power. And there are no limits when your only goal is power, not morality. As an atheist, my morals do change based on information, like with slavery. We realize in the modern world that slavery is wrong, but the Bible was written before society came to that conclusion, and so must contort itself by saying things like “Christianity is what allowed people to find slavery unacceptable”, an incredibly weak argument that glosses over the hundreds of verses which detail how to be a good slaveowner.

Things have changed. And only one of us is willing to admit it. So can you really trust them?

Watching conservatives is like watching drug addicts. As more and more conservative “influencers” and “news stations” come out as being paid by Russia, you start to realize what is really happening–the conservatives are addicted to “conservative news”, a thing which does not exist. But now that Fox News is so dominant in red areas in the US, and they’ve been shoveling this down their throats for years, the people don’t want the truth anymore.

Anytime a conservative tries to tell their constituents something that is true but that they don’t like, they boo. Example one: There’s no invasion at the southern border. “What do you mean the border crisis is invented? No it’s not!” Then they fall into cognitive dissonance. Example two: Women who aren’t “sluts” still need comprehensive reproductive care, and you are killing women if you support this. “If they don’t want to get pregnant, don’t have sex!!”

And it’s completely obvious they’re brainwashed, because between Biden announcing his withdrawal and Kamala being chosen as the nominee, the man on the street interviews have gone terribly. Because the right hasn’t coalesced around an attack angle, the only thing they see when asked why they don’t support Kamala is that they don’t like her laugh, the exact thing that is filling the vacuum on the airwaves of Fox.

And they’re confused now, because racist and sexist attacks won’t work, and every criticism that Biden received now applies to Trump and only Trump. And his latest appearances show that he is completely unfit and unprepared to be the leader of the free world, as his word salad continues to get more tossed. And he is showing something that Republicans have been showing for years…the fact that they won’t answer a question.

The reason they don’t answer questions any more is because the answers refer policies that are widely unpopular. And rather than embracing that underdog status they just waffle and obfuscate and try to avoid accountability. When asked what the government can do to lower the number of mass shootings, especially in schools, JD Vance called for better security but then metaphorically threw his hands in the air and said that mass shootings are “a fact of life“. Uh no they are not. Just ask the other countries that have gun ownership but no school shootings, or very few.

But this is their policy: more guns and easier access to guns instead of reasonable gun control. Therefore, according to them, we can’t save those kids. The evil is too strong I guess. And when shootings are so often caused by easy access to high-powered war weapons (the Georgia shooting involved a 14-year-old whose father had given him an AR-style weapon for Christmas and who also had previously praised the Parkland shooting), this position is of course, widely unpopular. And why they don’t want to talk about their positions on almost anything, because they are awful.

But they don’t dare tell their voters that.

An indictment was handed down today against two Russians, backed by the Russian government and state media, who were funding a rightwing propaganda machine (and who knows how many others) in the US. They were paying Tim Pool and other lowlifes $100k per video episode to upload Russian propaganda to their YouTube and other social media platforms. The indictment apparently claims it was “unwitting” but I don’t know how dumb you have to be to not know, especially as noted in the indictment that they said the money came from “the Russians.” But this is no surprise, my question is how much of rightwing media and politicians are actually not compromised? Many elected officials have been saying the exact same things that these traitors have been, especially the further into the MAGA underworld you go.

But as despicable as these shills are, the whole movement is a danger because of the things I talked about earlier this year, and it’s proving to be true. When politics becomes your religion, and your fellow citizens become the enemy, people become more and more desperate to have those beliefs reinforced, especially in the face of evidence to the contrary. So they become easier and easier to manipulate simply by repeating their talking points. And whether it’s greed or genuine belief, the outcome is the same…selling out Americans to further Russia’s interests, all while claiming to be patriots.
