35. We've seen it before - many many times. Hitler, Mussolini, Caligula, Nero

May 2019

They have their season and then they pass from existence. They do great evil and many suffered and died, and many will and have been destroyed by tRump as with the others. I believe this will get much, much worse before it's over. I would like to believe that we can survive this onslaught this time as others have in the past, but my hopes are dimmed. We've never seen what's happening now at a time that coincides with how greatly challenged existence on this planet is so perilously poised on its survival.

I am not a religious person, but I have read the Book of Revelation and other prophetic chapters of the Bible, and no time in history seems to be more similar to what is depicted within those pages as now. It seems as if there is an inimical force set loose with persons like tRump and other autocrats the spokespeople of its agenda with devoted acolytes.
