In a 1962 letter, as a last-ditch effort for clemency, Holocaust organizer Adolf Eichmann wrote that he and other low-level officers were “forced to serve as mere instruments,” shifting the responsibility for the deaths of millions of Jews to his superiors. The “just following orders” defense, made famous in the post-WWII Nuremberg trials, featured heavily in Eichmann’s court hearings. But that same year Stanley Milgram, a Yale University psychologist, conducted a series of famous experiments that tested whether “ordinary” folks would inflict harm on another person after following orders from an authoritative figure. Shockingly, the results suggested any human was capable of a heart of darkness. (PBS News Hour)
Trump has demanded of the Republicans in Congress: Former President Trump is stepping up his war with Senate Republicans by calling for primary challenges next year against GOP incumbents who do not support investigating President Biden’s family finances. (The Hill) “Congress should refuse to authorize a single additional shipment of our depleted weapons stockpiles … to Ukraine until the FBI, DOJ and IRS hand over every scrap of evidence they have on the Biden Crime Family’s corrupt business dealings,” Trump said at the rally. He added that any Republican lawmakers who didn’t join the effort should face primary challenges, a tactic he used last year to unseat Republicans who voted to impeach him for inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.

A Dictator, an Authoritarian, a Despot, demanding allegiance, intimidating, blackmailing, imposing his IMMORALITY, MADNESS, and SELF-SERVING, MACHINATIONS upon a seemingly willing group of ARMY-LIKE ANTS, to save HIS SOUL, while dismantling their own rotted and ruinous lack of conscience and self. The Republicans call History Critical, because in fact, the facts demonstrate critical moments of human existence where men and women became monsters. Willingly, (remember one only follows orders for their own assumed SELF-PRESERVATION), these Republican Politicians place personal profession, over people, wealthy donors place their own profits over people, racists, and bigots, place their own hate over the goodwill for all other Americans.
BE AWARE AMERICA, BE ALERT AMERICA, AND BE AFRAID AMERICA!
