The US surpassed 200,000 deaths from the Corona virus, the highest national total in the world by far.\u00a0 The country mourns the passing of Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, while Trump and the Republican Senate rush to replace her with a conservative before the election. Trump made a McCarthyite call for \u201cPatriotic Education\u201d and attacked the late renowned historian Howard Zinn, author of <em>A People\u2019s History of the United States.<\/em> If there is any book that all Americans need to read it is this book. Zinn said that \u201cbeing honest about history of our country is the best way to combat propaganda.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Trump is all about Propaganda! He\u2019s been a liar and Conman his entire life!<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It appears that Trump wants to use the cover of \u201cPatriotic Education\u201d to eliminate the racist history of the U.S. \u2013 t he truth about slavery, imperialism and genocide. (And the illegal US overthrow of Hawaii too.) It appears that Trump doesn\u2019t want us, or our children, to know the truth. Trump\u2019s vision for America is clearly one of white supremacy, ultra nationalism and authoritarianism.<\/p>\n<p>Trump continues to make baseless claims that mail-in ballots are prone to fraud and tampering. He suggests he could sign a presidential executive order prohibiting Joe Biden from being president. On Sept. 21 Trump\u2019s Justice Dept. declared Democratic cities such as New York City, Portland, and Seattle \u201canarchist jurisdictions.\u201d Classic divide and conquer. What will follow is anyone\u2019s guess. Will Trump refuse to leave office? Is overt fascism on the horizon?\u00a0 We have been warned\u2026.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201cThe truth was erased. The erasure was forgotten.
