Cook, Hickey contrast Hitler, Trump

After Orson Welles' 1938 radio broadcast of War of the Worlds Adolf Hitler cited the ensuing panic as "evidence of the decadence and corrupt condition of democracy" then modeled his final solution on the Native American Genocide. 

Today, Republican is not just another word for Earth hater; it's another word for Nazi. 

Steve Hickey is from Kansas City, Missouri and is a Republican former South Dakota legislator and Sioux Falls pastor now teaching at Alaska Christian College. He and this interested party agree on some things like executive clemency for Leonard Peltier and reconciliation with the tribal nations trapped in South Dakota through land repatriation.

Dr. Edith Cook is an educator who was an assistant professor at Dakota Wesleyan University, lives in Saratoga, Wyoming and writes a weekly column for the Cheyenne Post.

Then Trump became part of the ‘80s debt craze: going bankrupt, and defaulting on payments for his Atlantic City Taj Mahal Casino. By 1992, Trump’s efforts collapsed under the weight of unserviceable debt, “a victim of his own prodigality as the recession deepened.” [Cook: Comparing Reagan and Trump]

In 1993, Trump henchman, Roger Stone constructed ad copy and radio scripts depicting the Mohawk Nation as violent criminals and drug dealers so Donald Trump could erect a casino. Then, after losing a lawsuit to the Tribe Trump declared war on Native America and in 2020 he used the Hitlerian model and launched a biological weapon on tribal communities. 

Now Republicans like Steve Hickey suffer from a disease that influences their eschatologies because they worship a supernatural extraterrestrial as the ‘son of god’ and believe It is coming to Earth to rule under a one-world government.

Like Trump, Hitler was duly elected by the people, in spite of a criminal record—he actually did time for a coup he attempted in Munich, but the voters didn’t care, or didn’t mind. Beginning in 1933—the year of Hitler’s ascent to the chancellorship—a new “Nazi Religion” infused German churches. It demanded that all pastors sign an oath of allegiance to the Führer, to National Socialism, and to the German state, the “Reich.” Hitler ‘s rise to power seemed the answer. Dietrich Bonhoeffer would have been a man for our times, had he lived in our space. As it is, his courage must remind us to stand tall and call upon our resources to cope with the days ahead. [Cook: Watching Hitler]

Hickey is also a scholar who studies Dietrich Bonhoeffer and calls him a martyr but he is also a Trump apologist. 

After deleting his social media accounts in 2021 Hickey is reporting at his resurrected Faceberg page that he is in the hospital with five blood clots in his lungs following a double lung transplant.

Dying in a bunker by his own hand can't come soon enough for DonOld Trump.

Under lighting a subject is often used in horror movies, and photos, to make someone look unsettling and evil.

Think of how you hold a flashlight under your face to tell a spooky story… this portrait is heavily under lit.

When Trump pardons 1,000 convicted insurrectionist he will be forming his army whose allegiance only to him. Clockwork Orange 2.0. The Proud Boys arrived at the Washington Monument at 10am I followed them towards the Capitol then went back to the Ellipse to hear Trump speak. pic.twitter.com/1dhJzf4k9b
