Newtonian Bombing

Back in 1940, Arthur "Bomber" Harris observed that:

“The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everybody else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put that rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now, they are going to reap the whirlwind."

Now re-read that quote and substitue a few words.

"The MAGA entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to inflict trauma on everybody else, and nobody was going to inflict trauma on them. In Washington, Georgia, Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania and Kentucky, they put that rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now, they are going to reap the whirlwind." 

Right.

The whirlwind is coming, and where you stand may depend on where you sit.

Where a lot of Americans sit is within a 100 feet of the more than 400 million guns and a billion rounds of ammunition in private hands.

Those are real numbers, and speak to why the Second Amendment was created

America was founded in opposition to kings, and we have a history of killing fascists.

Angry Americans outnumber oligarchs. The oligarchs can be — and will be — overwhelmed.

Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel, RFK Jr., Tom Homan, Russell Vought, JD Vance and the rest of them are hell-bent on burning down the lives of millions of people who are just one paycheck away from having no reason to not make the supreme sacrifice.

They’re killing cancer research, defunding grandma’s  nursing home care, and tossing hundreds of thousands of families onto the unemployment lines.  

They’re preparing to tell US troops to fire on American demonstrators, even as they scrap vaccine and vital public health programs. 

   

The battle ahead is very much an existential battle, not only for American democracy, but for millions of American lives as jobs are scrapped, services cut, environmental protections torn down, and bank deposit protections are removed. 

Medicaid, Medicare, OSHA, veterans benefits, and Social Security are being shoved into Elon Musk’s self-described “chipper” so that he and his merry band of billionaire “bros” can continue to be subsidized by taxpayers even as their companies pay no taxes.

Last week Elon Musk said he wanted every federal worker to send him “five bullets” telling him what they did, and that failure to comply would be taken as voluntary resignation.

Right.  

Elon Musk wants bullets?  

He’s *asking* for a hail of bullets?

Trust me… they’re coming, and my bet is they will not all be on paper.

Yes Elon, the trauma is coming, and you are not exempt.

In America, most of us still believe that the best Hitler is a dead Hitler.

They think that in London, Paris, Toronto, Mexico City, Hamburg, and Rome as well.  

The world is rapidly organizing in opposition to American fascism, and job one is to stop buying American farm goods, tractors, and weapons.  

In Sweden, the dock workers will not unload Teslas, and the mechanics say they will not work on them.

The Europeans have already said they will dump Musk’s US-government funded Starlink system and replace it with their own IRIS program of over 300 satellites to serve Europe alone. 

Mexico has its own death-blow in the wings; a low-cost electric vehicle called Olinia, which I predict will sell like hotcakes in the US and around the world.

And have no illusions:  the trauma ahead for the US is generational.  

No one will trust American intelligence again. 

No one will take America’s promises as anything more than thin paper covering a pile of dog shit.  

Foreign markets and suppliers that shift to Brazil, China, Canada, or Australia are not going to come back to the US soon.

In 30 days, Trump and Musk and MAGA have destroyed a reputation that America built over 125 years.

And these fools think Trauma will not come for them?

I assure you it will.
