When fascists lay out their plans, you better believe them
It centers around White-male supremacy rather than exterminating Jews. Yet, because Jews invented equality and democracy (not Rome), soon they will go after the Jews too. Believe me.
It’s updated Nazism. But Nazism no less.
Nazism aimed for German world rule. Neo-Nazism wants boundless profits for the elites—part of Hitler’s plans too, but just to get the rich aboard.
This is too gruesome to be true? Must it be fake news? It was so shrewd. First to launch many fake news projects: QAnon. Then to call honest reporters fake news. And then to bring a plan so awful that most people will dismiss it as fake. Freedom of the press will not be part of their plans.
This totally dwarfs the just released elitist and bigoted 2024 Republican Party platform, which Trump won’t keep anyway, in size, scope, and level of evil. It also negates and nullifies its smaller, toothless sister document.
But don’t scare people! Inform them, and include a message of hope. “In WW II, it took five years to defeat Hitler. It left 50M people dead and the material and emotional damage was unbelievable. But we did it. Its sequel can be bloodless. Don’t vote for Trump. Don’t believe his decent face or words. Believe his gross, violent, and insulting words. Believe the Trump Supreme Court that just gave him total immunity. He has hijacked the GOP and innocent working class. Don’t blame them. Just prevent King Trump.”
The Supreme Court and the GOP may be corrupted, but the FBI, the police, and the military are not. On Day One, that Trump wants to be dictator, he and his VP will get a visit and be taken away to the farthest cell in the Pentagon, never to be seen again. Violent rioters will be arrested.
To be clear, not every US billionaire, reactionary, conservative, or bigot is a Neo-Nazi. Most of them are too stupid or dishonest to perceive the danger.
The Supreme Court gave the President legal immunity. Biden must use this to arrest the authors of Project 2025 and ban Trump from the media, social media, and take his name off the ballot. Who is decent for the indecent is indecent for the decent. Lock him up today. To stop, paralyze, and exclude anti-democrats or supremacists from democracy is never anti-democratic!
So many pro-democracy people must go wrong before there can be a White-male supremacist dictator in the White House.
This is not about the billionaires taking almost all the money—that they do already. This is about them overthrowing democracy in the USA, and seeking allyship with other dictators, just like Trump did in his first four years: loving Putin, Xi, Kim, etc., to end all democracy worldwide.
Your simple vote can stop this. You don’t need to love the Democrats to stop him. Just save democracy so that you will have a vote in four years. You must vote Democrats even if a handicapped Biden is still on the ticket. You even elect a dishonest, anti-Israel alternative to Trump. Israel has had such before in the White House. We’ll manage. Don’t worry. Bibi will deal with Chezbollah and Iran, the Houthis and all the rest before January 20.
It’s the height of stupidity (and liberalism) to claim that you must enable anti-democrats in the name of democracy. No tolerance for the intolerant!
One of the reasons dictators have no respect for democracy is because it doesn’t respect itself. If it’s not worthy of self-defense, why want it?
And the US needs besides four more years of a Democratic president also to have sizable majorities in the House and in the Senate to undo Trump’s structural damage to the GOP, democracy, equality, science, and truth.
The 900+ pages have many plans on how to end democracy and equality.
You don’t have to read it all to oppose it. Trump is for it without reading it.
We need Stephen Spielberg to make The Great Dictator 2, with Oprah in orangeface playing King Donald J. Trump. See here Chaplin’s classic.
About the Author
MM is a prolific and creative writer and thinker, previously a daily blog contributor to the TOI. He often makes his readers laugh, mad, or assume he's nuts—close to perfect blogging. He's proud that his analytical short comments are removed both from left-wing and right-wing news sites. None of his content is generated by the new bore on the block, AI. *
As a frontier thinker, he sees things many don't yet. He's half a prophet. Half. Let's not exaggerate. Or not at all because he doesn't claim G^d talks to him. He gives him good ideas—that's all. MM doesn't believe that people observe and think in a vacuum. He, therefore, wanted a broad bio that readers interested can track a bit what (lack of) backgrounds, experiences, and educations contribute to his visions. *
This year, he will prioritize getting his unpublished books published rather than just blog posts. Next year, he hopes to focus on activism against human extinction. To find less-recent posts on a subject XXX among his over 2000 archived ones, go to the right-top corner of a Times of Israel page, click on the search icon and search "zuiden, XXX". One can find a second, wilder blog, to which one may subscribe too, here: https://mmvanzuiden.wordpress.com/ or by clicking on the globe icon next to his picture on top. *
Like most of his readers, he believes in being friendly, respectful, and loyal. However, if you think those are his absolute top priorities, you might end up disappointed. His first loyalty is to the truth. He will try to stay within the limits of democratic and Jewish law, but he won't lie to support opinions or people when don't deserve that. (Yet, we all make honest mistakes, which is just fine and does not justify losing support.) He admits that he sometimes exaggerates to make a point, which could have him come across as nasty, while in actuality, he's quite a lovely person to interact with. He holds - how Dutch - that a strong opinion doesn't imply intolerance of other views. *
Sometimes he's misunderstood because his wide and diverse field of vision seldomly fits any specialist's box. But that's exactly what some love about him. He has written a lot about Psychology (including Sexuality and Abuse), Medicine (including physical immortality), Science (including basic statistics), Politics (Israel, the US, and the Netherlands, Activism - more than leftwing or rightwing, he hopes to highlight reality), Oppression and Liberation (intersectionally, for young people, the elderly, non-Whites, women, workers, Jews, LGBTQIA+, foreigners and anyone else who's dehumanized or exploited), Integrity, Philosophy, Jews (Judaism, Zionism, Holocaust and Jewish Liberation), the Climate Crisis, Ecology and Veganism, Affairs from the news, or the Torah Portion of the Week, or new insights that suddenly befell him. *
Chronologically, his most influential teachers are his parents, Nico (natan) van Zuiden and Betty (beisye) Nieweg, Wim Kan, Mozart, Harvey Jackins, Marshal Rosenberg, Reb Shlomo Carlebach, and, lehavdil bein chayim lechayim, Rabbi Dr. Natan Lopes Cardozo, Rav Zev Leff, and Rav Meir Lubin. This short list doesn't mean to disrespect others who taught him a lot or a little. One of his rabbis calls him Mr. Innovation [Ish haChidushim]. Yet, his originalities seem to root deeply in traditional Judaism, though they may grow in unexpected directions. In fact, he claims he's modernizing nothing. Rather, mainly basing himself on the basic Hebrew Torah text, he tries to rediscover classical Jewish thought almost lost in thousands of years of stifling Gentile domination and Jewish assimilation. (He pleads for a close reading of the Torah instead of going by rough assumptions of what it would probably mean and before fleeing to Commentaries.) This, in all aspects of life, but prominently in the areas of Free Will, Activism, Homosexuality for men, and Redemption. *
He hopes that his words will inspire and inform, and disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed. He aims to bring a fresh perspective rather than harp on the obvious and familiar. When he can, he loves to write encyclopedic overviews. He doesn't expect his readers to agree. Rather, original minds should be disputed. In short, his main political positions are among others: anti-Trumpism, for Zionism, Intersectionality, non-violence, anti those who abuse democratic liberties, anti the fake ME peace process, for original-Orthodoxy, pro-Science, pro-Free Will, anti-blaming-the-victim, and for down-to-earth, classical optimism, and happiness. Read his blog on how he attempts to bridge any tensions between those ideas or fields. *
He is a fetal survivor of the pharmaceutical industry (https://diethylstilbestrol.co.uk/studies/des-and-psychological-health/), born in 1953 to his parents who were Dutch-Jewish Holocaust survivors who met in the largest concentration camp in the Netherlands, Westerbork. He grew up a humble listener. It took him decades to become a speaker too, and decades more to admit to being a genius. But his humility was his to keep. And so was his honesty. Bullies and con artists almost instantaneously envy and hate him. He hopes to bring new things and not just preach to the choir. *
He holds a BA in medicine (University of Amsterdam) – is half a doctor. He practices Re-evaluation Co-counseling since 1977, is not an official teacher anymore, and became a friendly, powerful therapist. He became a social activist, became religious, made Aliyah, and raised three wonderful kids. Previously, for decades, he was known to the Jerusalem Post readers as a frequent letter writer. For a couple of years, he was active in hasbara to the Dutch-speaking public. He wrote an unpublished tome about Jewish Free Will. He's a strict vegan since 2008. He's an Orthodox Jew but not a rabbi. *
His writing has been made possible by an allowance for second-generation Holocaust survivors from the Netherlands. It has been his dream since he was 38 to try to make a difference by teaching through writing. He had three times 9-out-of-10 for Dutch at his high school finals but is spending his days communicating in English and Hebrew - how ironic. G-d must have a fine sense of humor. In case you wonder - yes, he is a bit dyslectic. If you're a native English speaker and wonder why you should read from people whose English is only their second language, consider the advantage of having an original peek outside of your cultural bubble. *
