It just dawned on me Philip. Is the human race worth saving and preserving? Really.

Yes we who care will do down with the ship, but think of it, all the religious fanatacism, ideological insanity, power and greed hunger, the autocracies, the fascists, the totalitarians, the oil company executives the investors, the billionaires who have brought this upon themselves, they are the instruments of their own demise.

We humans had our chance and we fucked it up.

Musk is in a hurry to get to Mars,only the dumb as bag of rocks fuck, doesn't realize that man cannot colonize, much less terraform Mars. The limitation is it's .38 earth gravity.

It's inability to hold water to it's surface, except as ice at the poles and subsurface, and thus inability to grow food, especially carbohydrates and protein.

Musk is an autistic asshole, who lives in his own mind, a mind fashioned by NAZI sci fi literature.

Lest we forget Musk’s “Neurolink” venture that seeks to put microchips into people’s brains.

This from a 2022 Harper’s Mag Index:

Portion of monkeys implanted with Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain chips between 2017 and 2020 that have died : 7/10

The neuro link is as stupid as his Occupy Mars obsession. Neither will ever happen. Maybe he can convince some stupid wealthy, or get Trump's regime to pass a law that legalizes involuntary implants in prisoners.

Elon's Dad a NAZI sympathizer was a fan of Wernher von Braun, and hi1953 book "Mars Project" by famous rocket scientist Werner Von Braun says the leader of Mars shall be called "Elon"

There‘s a darkly funny anecdote from “Operation Paper Clip“ by Annie Jacobson where she writes about Von Braun‘s linkage to Nazi slave labor and war crimes and his coming to America to advance our rocket technology.

In any case Von Braun is holding this major press conference to announce his effort to launch a rocket that will go into earth orbit. A reporter rose and asked if Von Braun could assure the viewing audience that the rocket would not hit London.

Operation Paperclip, is a bete noir to many on the left, especially those of the Jewish persuasion.

I don't feel the same, Were it not for von Braun and the rest of the scientists, we would be under the Soviet Heel.

No thank you. and besides I doubt that von Braun and his scientists were real NAZI's, in the ideological sense. In a totalitarian society one must belong to the party to get a job, or get ahead. Scientists, except social scientists and political scientists, but the physical scientists are generally non political. Even in America there are scientists that don't pay attention to politics ore even current affairs. My son and granddaughter are both scientists and politics is the last thing on their mind.

I had a break through with my son over Christmas, we usually don't talk politics, but he did say this is 1933.

I guess showing up for work every day to make the weapons that would destroy London and bring victory for Hitler was just another day at the office. You know science, there is no moral consideration, just the work…

When the shooting starts, moral considerations go out the window.

In WWI on Xmas even both the French/ritish trenches and Germans stopped sang Carols together and even met on no mans land to play soccer, until their officers told them to get back into the trenches and fight.

When Curt LeMay and Bomber Harris learned that there was going to be a war crimes tribunal, and that Goring was going to be tried for bombing cities, they both expected to be tried as well, Curt LeMay, even expressed concern, needless to say the victors are never guilty. Though what Harris and LeMay did to Germany and Japan, made German bombing look like firecrackers.

Dresden, the subject of Slaughter House Five, was an open sity, it didn't even have any anti aircraft protection and it was firebombed, first dynamite bombs to create shells, then incendiary bombs to create firestorms and fire hurricanes.

Was von Braun a die hard NAZI or was he just like his counterparts in England and America, doing what he was hired to do, and in fact had no choice.

Things are not so simple Cracker. When your country goes to war and it is a total war, one has no choice either go to prison or go to work.

On Dec 8, 1941 even the Silver Shirts, the American NAZI's dropped their swatiskas and line up at the recruting station or answered the draft call.

Maybe we can go subterranean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGxjIBEZvx0

The problem with going subterranean is that humans require great quantities of carbs and proteins, and they require sunlight, we also require manufacturing and that means industry if for nothing else than to replace and repair the parts that we need to run our subterranean society.

Now we have really tread into HG Wells territory, the Morlocks (Murdochs) and the Eloi.

Apparently, he was named for a character in a novel written by Von Braun. In his onlt novel Von Braun has the Mars colony as appraently a Nazi Fourth Reich underground society.

What is disheartening is the number of Democrats that are ready to jump ship and work with Trump and the Republicans.

Here is an excerpt from Jim Stewardsons Mind War https://www.mind-war.com/p/bidens-alternate-reality

"The truth of the matter is that we are at war and the President was never honest about it. His administration presided over the the end of the American Experiment as we knew it. He will be seen in history as our Paul von Hindenburg — who handed over power in a “peaceful transition” to Hitler.

That said, I have not, and will never give up on my country. Perhaps, in the end, the kleptocratic kakistocracy being installed and the horrors this regime will execute are the only thing that will snap us out of it. Perhaps what will emerge from the wreckage will be better. But that will not happen on its own.

We must protest, resist, and sabotage every attempt at seizing more power. We must stop being afraid to get in their face as they try to defraud us out of our rights, labor and resources. We must stop being afraid to call Russia the enemy, a terrorist state that must be defeated, not a legitimate nation.

Unfortunately neither “history” or “power” will be “in our hands” after Monday. The power of our military, our economic might and the labor of the people will be handed over to a transnational crime syndicate who wants to remake the planet."
