Why the Right is cozying up to Osama Bin Laden's niece and Sammy "The Bull" Gravano
Yeah, it is as insidious as you think
First, I must preface by saying all this is my humble opinion; I am, however, basing it on trends and the current GOP/MAGA mindset. For example, if I ran into a cannibal who claimed they were going on a starvation diet, I would lay bets that Mutha was gonna eat someone again—soon.
Call it a hunch.
The political not-so-Right has been on a solid kick lately of amplifying the voices of questionable and even evil people devoid of honor to prop up their Project 2025 aspirations.
Yah know what dictatorships need?
Henchmen—lots and lots and o’ henchmen. And not very nice ones. Mean-spirited ones. Men and women are willing to lock up innocent people. Ready to lie and point fingers to keep their power or take what does not belong to them.
Willing to kill.
Some will be psychopaths and sociopaths; others will be obsequious flying monkey types seeking validation. Make no bones about it, though—they are going to be all in for their cause. You will also need legions of them.
Where do you find such folks?
You don’t. You create them.
The Grooming
Before Trump’s mad ascension to the political sphere, you would have found a mere handful of people who would have said aloud that they think violence should be used as a means to an end to further political goals.
in 2021, 4 in 10 Republicans believed political violence may be needed to protect America—that number is growing. We have Republican representatives singing songs with January 6th insurrectionists, and even Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has decided to blur the faces of criminals before releasing further January 6th footage.
To protect who exactly?
These would be the faces of men and women in the throes of political violence. Sounds like obstruction to me.
Will anything be done?
Nah.
Still, one has to ask: What America is The Right trying to protect?
It ain’t American democracy; in fact, their template is beginning to look more like a White supremacist-fueled dictatorship adjacent oligarchy alliance.
How do you devolve from a democracy to an empire run by fools?
That’s where the minions come in.
Osama bin Laden's niece defends 'Ultra MAGA movement' during appearance with Steve Bannon
Post 9/11, the Right wouldn’t even want to share a cab with anyone of Muslim, Israeli, or Arabic descent. Now, they are interviewing the very family members of the terrorist who spilled innocent American blood on our soil.
One asks why she is even given a platform at all. Allow Noor bin Laden to explain:
“…President Trump was such a huge thorn and is such a huge thorn and the entire Ultra MAGA movement is such a huge thorn to them," she explained. "And I think, judging by the intensification of the attack and the blatant, blatant farcical steal of the 2020 election and all the different efforts."
"You say we are the silent majority," bin Laden added. "We have reached a critical mass where enough of us are completely awake to what they are trying to do and we will not let this happen and I think they are worried." — Rawstory
All righty then.
I remember 9/11.
I remember people leaping from Twin Tower infernos to their deaths. Brave firefighters dying from respiratory diseases years later. Shared national and emotional trauma.
Now, here we stand, with the GOP allowing Osama bin Laden’s niece to tear down this country on Steve Bannon’s show—hypocrites!
If a Black man doesn’t stand for the flag, they are ready to castrate him —after finishing the nachos they purchased at the concession stand during the anthem, of course—but they are a-okay with the niece of the terrorist who stole American lives tearing the USA down brick-by-brick.
It is a by-any-means necessary, nihilistic strategy that has worked since the dawn of time: divide and conquer. It took down Spartacus (as per the TV show, which is mentioned here just as an example), and it will also take us down if we do not wake up to the knife the Republican side is brandishing.
John Gotti's Underboss: The Bidens Make Us Look Like Choir Boys (msn.com)
We come to the next exemplary American Citizen the like of Newsmax wants to hear from: John Gotti’s Underboss, Sammy “the Bull” Gravano. I keep mentioning cannibals because my recent articles about Dhamer have reminded me of how much of a waste of skin the man was, fan club be damned.
Today, Dhamer would be a front-runner in current American politics, and I am not saying this in a tongue-in-cheek way—the question is, why?
Why should we give two shits what Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano has to say about Hunter Biden?
Because for the right, it isn’t about what Gravano says but what he did. Sammy the Bull Gravano killed 19 people. People he knew. Relatives and friends.
In cold blood—for power and position. For Gotti.
If the GOP manages to tear the Constitution in two, well—the faithful may have to do the same. Kill a wife. A husband. A child— a friend. For the greater good of Gawd and Country. In the name of the American Emperor.
In the name of the United Ethnostates.
What Gravano says is not the thing. The thing is what he symbolizes, what he represents. MAGA’s grooming has taken the darkest, most grim of turns. Watch for them to up this ante to the absurd as the election nears and get ready to vote like our lives depend on it—at this juncture, I don’t think it is a question anymore of where we are.
"Kill a wife. A husband. A child— a friend..." a sister. I just broke with my brother. It hurts so much. But his unwillingness to reach out to our younger brother, to tell him that he's sorry that things have come to this + to apologize for the role he has played in being a major Holocaust denier, has made it impossible for me to be in a relationship with him. My younger brother lives in E. Lansing, MI. He is married to a Jewish woman and has three grown children and three grandchildren. The synagogue which they attend was, horrifyingly, found to be a target for a neo-Nazi killer in the area: he'd chosen the date and time, and had a huge stockpile of weapons including AK-47's with ammo. My older brother refused to discuss the issue, and said that I don't understand anything. I know that his goal is to have a "white America". Why he has remained close to me, married to an Asian and with a biracial daughter, I don't know. But I can't do it any more. I told him that I love him, but I can't be in contact any more. (Tears)
Two-thirds of America want to war with each other and the other third is convinced they're doomed.
Pretty gloomy in the US these days.
