Sima Shakhsari stood in front of City Hall in downtown Minneapolis on Thursday addressing a crowd that had gathered carrying signs that read: “No U.S. War on Iran.” Before coming to the protest, Shakhsari had finally heard from their niece in northern Iran after a WhatsApp blockage had hampered communication for days.

During this period of uncertainty and instability, “monsters”, disruptive and destructive forces, emerge to fill the void. And in the case of Trump, the “monster” is a Knight Fool incompetent who wages wars against imaginary enemies. ; Continue reading TRUMP, AMERICAN DON QUIXOTE!!
