Propaganda

Propaganda It is a cold day, no more sitting on the terrace watching ships sailing by and dreaming of the old days. With little to do, I watched on Netflix about the making of the Nazi party. Time was hard in Germany people were looking for a saviour Hitler and his henchmen came. Sig Heil. Peoples’ stupidity never amazes me, believed the propaganda the promises of a better time. Millions followed him, this man without charisma, but he promised to make the country great and the people unthinkably followed to the bitter end. 71, million people in the USA voted for Trump his lies didn´t matter people preferred lies even when confronted with the truth they still believe he could lead them into a great America. Now we have Biden. The new president has promised many sane things, yet he is regarded as weak He lacks the panache of the liar. And he, being a member of the political establishment, is not able to cut the head of the snake because he is a part of what is wrong with America. Only groundbreaking revolution of what ails the USA, but it must come from the people and not highjacked by oratory charlatan, can remedy this sickness of the soul. No single person is a god; we have to turn to the Christian faith, with all its fault finding the compass to rectitude.
