I do not feel safe in my own country.

For the first time in my 74 years, I do not feel safe in my own country. Even as a child, standing on the shore line of Ocean City, New Jersey, during war time (WWII), watching the gunfights out at sea at night, and examining the flotsam that washed ashore the next day, as frightening as that was, I still do not feel safe TODAY.

     Yes, I knew Nazi subs shelled Atlantic City during WWII. I heard that they landed spies on our coasts down south. Our FBI caught them, and they were eventually executed. 

      Today, now, under the current conditions in Washington, DC my country is not safe. I do not feel safe. What I know, see, watch, read, hear - I KNOW MY COUNTRY IS NOT SAFE for Americans.

      Why? C'mon........I do not trust the NSA, I do not trust the IRS. Not until they come clean with Darrell and his committee. We all know, if nothing happened, just blurt out the truth and get back to worth. I believe we have a geniune WATERGATE going on. How deep is this going to go??
      Actually, does anybody? Ever? Anyone in the White House? the president? For that matter, ANYTHING he says? The VP? Secretary of state whose credibility is paper thin? The Bobsey-twins who speak for the state department? The sailor in Chief who speaks with forked tongue for the Pentagon? The five-headed Ambassador to the UN who can't get her messages straight? 

      Oh, yeah, are we in a war, or not? Is it a non-war? If so, is it then ok to " lead from behind? If so, cause we're doin' a pretty good job of that, if you're counting heads, so to speak. I try to remember that just because He says something,................ doesn't mean it's so!!

       I wish Arthur Godfrey were still alive. He and his ukulele could do a lot of comedy on the above. I need a laugh.

Russia.........Ukraine.......1939......Hitler.......Poland

Nietzsche the dead German philosopher once said, " he who does not remember his history, is condemned to repeat it." 

    Wise words from a dead German.

     Or, as an American (me) is about to say, " here we go again."

     Top Guy at the Pentagon Dempsey said recently in a TV interview about the Russkie's amassing a jillion troops on the Russian border next door next door to Ukraine, " looks like they are going in. We haven't seen this since 1939." 

     That, dear friends was when Adolph unleashed the storm troopers on Poland, free to do 5 years' of god's work: raping women and young girls, bayoneting young babies for drill practice, and shooting old men for rifle targets. 

     It was the Russians, you may recall, who entered Berlin in 1945 and raped 10,000 helpless German women, their men having fled the city in a panic. None remained, leaving their women alone and helpless to the frothing red soldiers from the east. 

    Ten thousand rapes and we are told, you could hear the screams all night long. From which, it is written, a thousand women killed themselves by lunch time the next day. This is beyond a civilized society, even a civilized war. Not even 6  million dead in concentration camps, humanity ran amok, crazed peoples mad with vengeance, a blood libel coursing through the streams  of all Europe. 

    It seems that as in Ebola virus, only death will burn it all out, and death it was.

    Russia, hoping that all have forgotten the lessons of just 75 years ago, now plunges ahead with Insanity 2.0, either unaware, or unafraid of the repercussions. Certainly unafraid of America, neutered and sidelined by it's CEO, sitting on the sidelines, on the bench, staring out on the field, watching at the plays run, the playings being sacked, wishing for an answer, wondering about the outcome. 

    " You'll have to give me more time," he told the Russian President in front of a hot mike some time ago, " I'll have more flexibility after the elections."  

    One wonders now, what he meant.
