If we were only French! When the gov't does crazy things, the French simply call out "To the barricades" and shut the country down. For however long it takes.
But no, apparently we're Germans, and most of us will happily assist or at least stand by, while a good portion of us are killed off or put into concentration camps, and that's before our leaders get around to declaring war on most of the world, and killing off even more of us.
And make no mistake, Hitler was far from any kind of patriot. Instead he was a believer in some kind of weird neo-Darwinism and in the end (near the end he wanted Paris burned to the ground, fortunately the general put in charge of this refused to carry out his orders) wanted Germany utterly destroyed because the Germans, whom he professed to care so much about, were "weak".
We're headed the same way; following Hitler's playbook eerily closely.
Well, at least I have some regular checks coming soon with my address on them and thus proper to pay one of the libraries with if I do my passport through them, which might be easier than trying the post office.
And in selling the flutes, I've turned some things I'm not taking to Israel with, into money and money is useful especially in wartime. Officially when one moves to Israel through Nefesh B'Nefesh, one is allowed something like a shipping container of stuff that's shipped for free. Realistically, I assume I'll be able to carry something between a bag in each hand and just the clothes on my back.
What cracks me up is, having had the poor judgement to actually talk to some street scum, they're overwhelmingly pro-Dump. What makes that hilarious is that, to the Neo-Darwinists, they are "weak" and may be some of the first into the camps.
Watching everyone - the media most notably - falling into line and taking the crazy rantings of a senile, drugged-up, probably syphilis-riddled, old man is really jarring. If your next door neighbor started ranting about annexing Canada and Greenland, buying "Gaza" (not sure how that would happen) and al the other crazy shit the Dump says, you'd look around nervously and probably call Adult Protective Services. But instead his crazy babbling is being taken completely seriously and being acted on faithfully.
The most striking example is the draining off of huge water reserves here in California. It would not be hard at all to let out a little water and lie about it but no, utterly faithfully the water was drained off.
There's a 50% chance of rain today/tonight plus the next two days will be rain days so I was sure to pack all the things that had sold so hopefully anything else that sells won't have to be sent until Friday when the rain's supposed to let up.
