Oh, For the Good Old Days

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Throughout history, tyrannical despots have been deposed by force. Great power is the ultimate aphrodisiac, and for weak men, unavoidable. One man cannot be allowed to place his personal ambitions ahead of an entire nation.

IL DUCE

Benito Mussolini created the Italian Fascist Party. By April of 1945, it was apparent that his dream of re-creating his country into a modern day Rome would fail. The allies were coming, and his fate was clear.

Mussolini was Adolf Hitler’s primary ally. He was unaware that the Third Reich was negotiating a complete surrender. His Nazi friend could no longer protect the ruthless dictator.

On April 27, as he and his mistress attempted to escape by car, he was detained in Dongo, hidden in a small farmhouse overnight.

The following day, Mussolini and Petacci were removed from the house and driven to the small village of Giulino di Mezzegra on the shores of Lake Como. They were forced to stand in front of a brick wall and executed by machine gun fire.

THE FUHRER SURVIVES AND EVENTUALLY TAKES HIS OWN LIFE

[The most famous assassination attempt on the life of Adolf Hitler took place on July 20th 1944 at the Wolfsschanze or Wolf’s Lair headquarters near Rastenburg, East Prussia.]

One of his officers placed a briefcase, which contained a bomb, next to Hitler’s desk . When it exploded, it destroyed the conference rooms and killed three officers. Hitler was spared. His solid oak desk became a shield and Project Valkyrie had failed.

However, on April 30, 1945, with defeat his only option, Hitler and his mistress entered a bunker near his headquarters in Berlin. He and Eva Braun swallowed cyanide, and he shot himself in the head, ending his dream of a 1,000-year Reich.

REFUSING TO ACCEPT THE UNITARIAN RULE OF JULIUS CAESAR, HIS OWN SENTORS ASSASSINATE HIM ON THE IDES OF MARCH, 44 B.C.

Nothing proves the old adage, “power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely” more than the assassination of the most powerful Roman Emperor, Julius Caesar inside his palace on March 15, 44 B.C.

As he separated himself from the Roman Senate, removing them from participating in decisions related to Rome’s future, they were left with a single choice. He bled to death after receiving 23 stab wounds.

HITLER’S CLONE CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO DESTROY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS’ DREAMS

In the 21^st century, the future of the creation of our Founding Fathers is under attack by one old, obese, mentally deficient fascist and his Nazi Party. As of this day, March 21, 2026, Trump has been your illegitimate president for four long years between 2017 and 2021, and now from January 20, 2025, until today.

He failed to accomplish anything of a positive nature for our nation’s people during his first term, and has become its destroyer today. What he is responsible for is placing our nation in a near depression, and for the lives of more than one million people. Healthcare experts claim that his delay and refusal to lead a fight against the deadly Covid-19 virus, could have saved at least 100,000 lives.

Unfortunately, our military leaders who sit on their fat asses in the Pentagon, support his fascist agenda, and have become enemies of the people. Unlike the Roman Senate, who did what they believed was the right thing, our incompetent generals and admirals are committing war crimes and violate the UCMJ.

Politicians and Trump’s Nazi Party continue their attempts to portray the attempted coup on January 6, 2021 in a manner which protects their Fuhrer. However, if you watched all three hours of the darkest day in history, as did my wife and I, you know the truth.

What I and my wife saw cannot be misunderstood.

A sitting president ordered his Neo-Nazi army to break into the Capitol Building and halt the certification of the Electoral College vote. He also ordered them to kill Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence.

For three hours, a violent mob composed of traitors to my country, committed acts of violence and attempted murder.

Now for the part I will never understand.

When the insurrection ended, Trump was allowed to remain inside the White House.

The fact that Trump was not immediately removed from the confines of our nation’s most sacred public housing edifice, is a crime in itself. It proves that the United States has the most corrupt government in the world.

One other disturbing fact and an unanswered question.

Why did our military not come to the aid of our legislative branch. They did nothing for three hours. I assume that they watched the tragic and preventable events on television. This was an act of treason and domestic terrorism, and their inaction spoke volumes about the state of our nation in the 21^st century.

What I did understand is why the Pentagon has lost every war since WWII.

And it will fail once again in Iran
