Old man memories this morning.

Dyslexic bad punctuation rambling ahead.
1986 West Germany i caught light duty detail as a driver reason recovering from pneumonia and i was temporarily assigned to S-3.
As our infantry battalion was on a Grafenwohr Hohenfeldt rotation for like two months. And as a driver it was skate duty and at times I’d have to drive between training areas back to our home Kaserne Third armored A.O. perhaps one way a five hour drive.
Yet once we had to stay at these temporary quarters in Nuremberg First armored territory as something was wrong mechanically with this army green V.W. Van.
So I’m driving battalion Sergeant major on this trip and the next morning after chow were in this van and i asked Sergeant Major do you think we could go see the palace of justice he replied no problem corporal.

And on a cold snowy predawn morning a E-9 and me a E-4 stood and viewed the palace of justice for few minutes standing next to that van me thinking justice was served in courtroom 600.
This was maybe eight months after our battalion Dachau tour and on that tour there was not one man who didn’t shed a tear. Even our N.C.O.’s who fought in Vietnam.
Dachau where thousands perished murdered by forced labor starvation executions disease.

And recently my boy twenty has been doing family research in doing so he discovered we had a family member from our Slavic tribe . And we were designated Untermensch by the master race. My son discovered a relative of our survived BABICE a sub camp of Auschwitz’s.

And to this day we have scum who deny the holocaust ever happened even with overwhelming evidence. As humans we’re so cruel and evil it is a pre existing condition that we possess. From Gaza to Auschwitz’s Treblinka Sobibor in the east to Leopold genocide in the Congo.

Ordinary people who in their minds think that they are good and decent went along with evil mentioned above and we see it again now at this moment here in America.
Starving people who rely on SNAP rounding up immigrants and American citizens with their private army. Since the email Epstein dump the denial I’ve read online is off the charts.
MAGA King Saul sure looks like he was involved with Epstein into 2017. MAGA is the type of people that wanted to shoot up a pizzeria with no evidence because of a conspiracy theory pizza gate.
And now shown emails from Epstein estate total denial these are some wicked bible toting fuckers that could give one shit about children .
Just a ramble i have to remind myself you’re living in history at the moment hopefully with the email dumps this administration will be gone soon.

And then we can have justice for the child rape victims and those who terrorize the innocent by rounding them up and tossing them into camps.

And the video below ask yourself what the shit how young is to young. These people are defending pedophiles even in penitentiary rapist or pedophiles can’t walk among those with decent charges yet MAGA Republicans protect them. And by decent charges i mean bank robbery or stealing from the collection plate or narcotics sarcasm yet here we are.

A power-hungry fiend plays the racist card. Builds a cult, and cults thrive on lies. Germany had a failed economy. We had a robust economy, yet many believed in "The Biden Depression" and now, that grocery prices are going down.

They all play variations of the "That Book".

Trump has no beliefs, no religion, no values other than more and more money and power to get more money. Worse than a Judas.

I won't extend the analogy. I just hope our Fuhrer has a happier ending. That he dies laughing, thanks to the person he most detests. One who broke the barrier of unearned privilege and served the underserved who don't have family money to burn, and called him out for the scum he is, perhaps like Chaplin did, or our beloved Three Stooges, even Spike Jones.


Joke away. Send him to the land where jokes and humor are fun and not weapons. Where words are based in truth, reality, and compassion, rather than groupthink lies with no ties to reality or truth, instead of weapons used only to damage and incite.

"But Epstein's Emails"



We seem to be living out StarTrek and Twilight Zone episodes. I just hope we can get a happier ending to our updated versions of those episodes.

I'm talking about this: "Just a ramble i have to remind myself you’re living in history at the moment hopefully with the email dumps this administration will be gone soon."

I can't begin to tell you how much I hope this happens, and I agree that remembering we're living in history is a good idea in such strange times as these. I tend to forget that, so it's nice to be reminded.

As for Nuremberg, I immediately thought of the trials as soon as you mentioned being there. How cool that you got to see the Palace of Justice, however briefly. Thanks for sharing that memory with us!
