Enserfment refers to the virtual enslavement of workers to select business owners and industrialists beneath the umbrella of a vast system of patronage headed by a leader invested with absolute power in relation to all persons and property–one to whom there should be no difference between the two in their treatment–within his domain.

Free men would never stand for it; easily led and subjugated men would–and will.

With America boarded, commanded by a wealthy criminal, disarmed from the top, and prepared for plundering, Americans may have only their agitating protest for power, a not insignificant power but perhaps a power the same criminal mentality in high office may choose to ignore with impunity and thereby dismiss as merely a bothersome noise.

To produce enserfment: break the country’s economy as well as confidence in it; reduce the middle class; shrink government support for basic standards of living as well as modern healthcare. Who among the patronized wealthy should care about those impoverished and without means for even their own basic dignity and independence? And who among those reduced in means as well as access to education and defense against illness–or aid with established conditions–will have the capability, cognizance, desire, and energy to defend the democracy that had in fact become The Great Society, i.e., a national culture and government strong and stable and methodically given to improvements beneath the remit of the nation’s secular democratic republic?

Donald Trump’s reactionary clique would do away with basic defenses against the potential ravishing of the nation’s human and natural complement by private interests. For example, both Jeff Bezos (e.g., https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/15/business/economy/amazon-labor-nlrb.html) and Elon Musk (e.g., https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/03/business/spacex-elon-musk-nlrb-workers.html) have sought to neutralize the venerable National Labor Relations Board defending workers from each titan’s own unconscionable greed and venality.

For an example of the same illness in a different dimension, here’s coverage of the Trump Administration’s assault on the natural beauty and environmental health of the nation: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/may/01/trump-air-climate-pollution-regulation-100-days.

Donald’s Gulag

A second Trump administration threatens to accelerate mass incarceration, further dehumanize people in our criminal legal system, engage in a death penalty “killing spree,” and reverse many reforms gained over the last two decades.

Trump’s proposals are dangerous on two levels. First, with respect to the federal system, Trump will seek to double down on the failed policies of the past: encouraging brutal policing practices, pursuing extreme sentences, and expanding the use of the death penalty. Second, Trump’s racist and extremist rhetoric may embolden states that have previously embraced reform to return to failed crime policies, fueling mass incarceration and widening racial inequality – https://www.aclu.org/trump-on-the-criminal-legal-system.

Before reporters entered the room, Trump even suggested to Bukele he should build more prisons because the mega-prison isn’t “big enough” to hold “the homegrowns” he wants to send from the U.S.

“We’re studying the laws right now,” Trump said, after earlier saying they “always have to obey the law.”

He made a similar comment about sending Americans to foreign prisons in February, saying back then as well that the laws would be need to be checked – https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-send-us-citizens-foreign-prisons-legal-experts/story?id=120834167.

With President Trump, an American felon has arrived in power as a political force. We may keep in mind that he faces at least three additional felony-level trials should he ever lose power: election interference in relation to January 6, 2021; classified documents abuse for the haul he tried to hide at Mar-A-Lago; attempted election fixing for his “perfect phone call” begging for a fraudulent win in Georgia. As an American President who perhaps has his position confused with that of a mafia don, he’s bound to have some enemies he believes deserve prison for disliking him vocally. Why should he differ from any other fascist contemporary in power or personality to be dredged out of the more repugnant patches of history?

As it stands, anyone Donald Trump says is a criminal may be treated as one given his own arrogant, ignorant, and impudent lawlessness.

Sovietization

The boot in the face, the knock on the door, the secret police — the tropes of dystopian literature have arrived in corrosive small displays.

The “fake news” proves real and Trump-approved news as delusional as its judge; the Republican Party (for cowards, criminals, sycophants, and traitors) has shown the nation the independence of the rubber-stamping Soviet Duma; the agencies most devoted to fighting crime and securing the homeland have been handed over to clowns unqualified for public service by their defects in character, education, and experience. Bottom line: the longer Trump remains in power, the greater his opportunities for exploiting the capabilities of the Federal government for his own financial and political gain. Add in “emotional gain”, i.e., “Narcissistic Supply” and the illusion — to be sustained by himself for himself — of unlimited public adoration and validation. After all, he’s making America great again and information contrary to that must be diminished. The tools of the Soviet to be embraced by Trump-Putin:

  • Agitprop, Disinformation, Mass Perceptual Control
  • Dictatorship (Confined-Exclusive Political Control)
  • Enserfment and Mass Incarceration
  • Neutralized Critical Press
  • Political Mafia
  • Political Repression
  • Psychiatric Abuse; Punitive Psychiatry
  • Punitive Surveillance State
  • Secret Political Police
  • Totalitarianism

The “leadership” of the worst of all political worlds must convince or force its population to believe it lives in the best of all possible worlds. There are ways for “power” to do that, and they are all on display in America, China, Hungary, North Korea, and Russia, i.e., the states in which the leading thug and related associates strive to control the image of the “great leader” and “greatest state” by controlling the elements in government and in media that contribute to it.

Donald Trump appears to be laying the groundwork for a deeply authoritarian and criminal American government by abusing his power to engage in the kind of nepotism that encourages loyalty unto himself and related blind and unconscionable sycophancy. While he’s finding the American Federal Government’s defensive capabilities present, he’s only in his first year of leading American democracy to ruin.

Realpolitik

In the process of faking American leadership, Donald Trump has — as suggested above — run into real American official and popular resistance. Trump’s tariff drive and trade war against all balanced, open, and stable markets has not been smooth while efforts in other dimensions lurch around like pinballs against administrative and judicial bumpers. Trump, as he has promised with elections, prefers rigged machines.

Against Trump’s chaotic know-nothing recklessness, the American system stands but unsteadily with its confused institutions, their powers in Trumpian antibodies, and Trump’s own driven narcissistic delusions and related stupidity.

Epigram

Hillel the Elder

"That which is distasteful to thee do not do to another. That is the whole of Torah. The rest is commentary. Now go and study."

"If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am not for others, what am I? If not now, when?"

"Whosoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world. And whosoever that saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world."

Oriana Fallaci
"Whether it comes from a despotic sovereign or an elected president, from a murderous general or a beloved leader, I see power as an inhuman and hateful phenomenon...I have always looked on disobedience toward the oppressive as the only way to use the miracle of having been born."

Talmud 7:16 as Quoted by Rishon Rishon in 2004
Qohelet Raba, 7:16

אכזרי סוף שנעשה אכזרי במקום רחמן

Kol mi shena`asa rahaman bimqom akhzari Sof shena`asa akhzari bimqom rahaman

All who are made to be compassionate in the place of the cruel In the end are made to be cruel in the place of the compassionate.

More colloquially translated: "Those who are kind to the cruel, in the end will be cruel to the kind."

Abraham Isaac Kook

"The purely righteous do not complain about evil, rather they add justice.They do not complain about heresy, rather they add faith.They do not complain about ignorance, rather they add wisdom." From the pages of Arpilei Tohar.

Heinrich Heine
"Where books are burned, in the end people will be burned." -- From Almansor: A Tragedy (1823).

Simon Wiesenthal
Remark Made in the Ballroom of the Imperial Hotel, Vienna, Austria on the occasion of His 90th Birthday: "The Nazis are no more, but we are still here, singing and dancing."

Maimonides
"Truth does not become more true if the whole world were to accept it; nor does it become less true if the whole world were to reject it."

"The risk of a wrong decision is preferable to the terror of indecision."

Douglas Adams
"Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?" Epigram appearing in the dedication of Richard Dawkins' The GOD Delusion.

Thucydides
"The Nation that makes a great distinction between its scholars and its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools."

Milan Kundera
"The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting."

Malala Yousafzai
“The terrorists thought that they would change our aims and stop our ambitions but nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born.”

Tanit Nima Tinat
"Who could die of love?"

What I Have Said About the Jews

My people, not that I speak for them, I nonetheless describe as a "global ethnic commune with its heart in Jerusalem and soul in the Land of Israel."

We have never given up on God, nor have we ever given up on one another.

Many things we have given up, but no one misses, say, animal sacrifice, and as many things we have kept, so we have still to welcome our Sabbath on Friday at sunset and to rest all of Saturday until three stars appear in the sky.

Most of all, through 5,773 years, wherever life has taken us, through the greatest triumphs and the most awful tragedies, we have preserved our tribal identity and soul, and so shall we continue eternally.

Anti-Semitism / Anti-Zionism = Signal of Fascism

I may suggest that anti-Zionism / anti-Semitism are signal (a little bit) of fascist urges, and the Left -- I'm an old liberal: I know my heart -- has been vulnerable to manipulation by what appears to me as a "Red Brown Green Alliance" driven by a handful of powerful autocrats intent on sustaining a medieval worldview in service to their own glorification. (And there I will stop).
One hopes for knowledge to allay fear; one hopes for love to overmatch hate.

Too often, the security found in the parroting of a loyal lie outweighs the integrity to be earned in confronting and voicing an uncomfortable truth.

Those who make their followers believe absurdities may also make them commit atrocities.

Positively Orwellian: Comment Responding to Claim that the Arab Assault on Israel in 1948 Had Not Intended Annihilation

“Revisionism” is the most contemptible path that power takes to abet theft and hide shame by attempting to alter public perception of past events.

On Press Freedom, Commentary, and Journalism

In the free world, talent -- editors, graphic artists, researchers, writers -- gravitate toward the organizations that suit their interests and values. The result: high integrity and highly reliable reportage and both responsible and thoughtful reasoning.

This is not to suggest that partisan presses don't exist or that propaganda doesn't exist in the west, but any reader possessed of critical thinking ability and genuine independence -- not bought, not programmed -- is certainly free to evaluate the works of earnest reporters and scholars.
