Today the unbearable images are haunting us (or should say some of us for universal empathy is not a universal genetic marker of human beings.

There are the images of children of Gaza begging for food at the risk of being shot at like terrified rabbits
-
There are the scant images of the treatment and the report f children in Russia : the child trafficking, human thefts, enslavements, imprisonments, rapes, sexual violence, psychological brutalities, torture and murder of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian children by Moscow. Horrifying accounts tell of Russian soldiers placing children on tanks to protect their vehicles when moving. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/02/ukrainian-children-used-as-human-shields-near-kyiv-say-witness-reports

And of course there is the image of the president of the United States of America participating to a sordid children trafficking.
The most distressing aspect of the situation of the United States is the “abandonment of children” has been gradually building up over decades. Donald Trump is one of the new techno barbarians roaming the planet.
Allow me to make the case and publish one of my many unpublished. This one was titled “Attila the Second”.
Ten years ago, the target for Donald Trump was Greta Thunberg who made the cover page of the Times Magazine personality of the year. His son wrote an open letter to the magazine on the subject: How dare you do this? (Translate : How dare you not consecrate my father who was on the short list of 2019.)
Trump in his usual rabid way, takes the opportunity to make fun of the young woman who has Asperger's, a form of autism (like Einstein probably). The press covering the big political circus concluded that Donald Trump was jealous, furious at not having covered the Times this year. Which was not false.
Donald Trump always wanted to make the personality page of the year to the point where he or one of his relatives had created a fake issue of the magazine consecrating him man of the year. He framed it and displayed it in one of his many clubs and hotels. He ended up succeeding in 2016 not to crown the genius he thinks he is but because it is the magazine's tradition to appoint the newly elected American President of the most powerful country.
But he is devoured by jealousy like a capricious child which makes the bread and butter material of American satirical broadcasts. But let's stop laughing for a moment. We are not dealing with a child, but with the President of the United States of America, the Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful army in the world. It is not pedopsychiatrists who evaluated his mad dangerousness, but psychiatrists. The last report dated 2017 brought together under the direction of Bandy X Lee, from Yale University 27 psychiatrists, psychologists and other specialists in deviances and perversions under the title of The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump.
As for psychoanalysts, we have long since stopped smiling at the symbolism so obvious of the towers he wants to cover the world with. It is more than building a real estate empire on a big scale. He wants his towers to be the highest in the world, the symbol of his unlimited volonté de puissance. When the World Trade Center collapsed on September 11, 2001, his reaction was symptomatic: He did not hide his pleasure. His hotel, the Trump Tower in the heart of Manhattan, was now the tallest tower.
It was not just in Manhattan. In 1986, the Ambassador of the Soviet Union, Yuri Dubinin, met Trump in New York, congratulating him on his real estate exploits and invited him to discuss building a tower in Moscow. Trump went there in July 1987. There is not much else on the public record to describe his visit, other than Trump's own memory in The Art of the Deal that the Soviet authorities were eager for him to build an hotel on the spot, a magnificent tower, the tallest monument in red square and bearing his name lit up at the top of whoever claims to be the master of the world.
It is a boon for Vladimir Putin who was putting his pawns on the chessboard that leads to the presidency he will hold in 2000. After a series of financial reversals and his blatant abuse of bankruptcy laws, Trump had realized that it was impossible to borrow funds from American banks and became heavily dependent on unconventional sources of capital. Russian money has proven its salvation. From 2003 to 2017, nationals of the former USSR made 86 full cash purchases - a red flag of money laundering potential - of Trump properties, totaling $ 109 million. In 2010, Deutsche Bank's wealth management division also loaned him hundreds of millions of dollars during the same period that it laundered billions of dollars in Russian currency. "The Russians constitute a relatively disproportionate sample of many of our assets," said Donald Jr. in 2008. "We don't rely on American banks. We have all the funds we need outside of Russia, boasted his son Eric Trump in 2014. If we want to understand the mad foreign policy of the coming real estate agent, it is enough to follow the megalomaniac's tours.
Megalomaniac, obsessive, paranoid, Donald Trump, says the psychiatrists' report seems to be a pure id without restraint (legal or otherwise) He does not read, accepts no expertise, no restrictions. He speaks only of himself, only for himself and only in him. He tolerates no other attention, obsessed with any attack on the image he has of him and which he returns as a boomerang.
His extreme power lust through money supported by his megalomania makes him divide the world into two categories: losers and parasites to which nothing should be given. The losers hate him and plot all the time to deprive him from his absolute due. He is the best and wants to be revered as such. The explanation is as simple as that.
So simple that, as John Kenneth Galbraith sighed over economic evidence that such crude hypotheses were reluctant to accept, "It is repulsive to the mind." When it comes to such an important subject, a deeper mystery seems to be the only decent answer. ”
First degree of abandonment
Among the parasites are disabled and poor children or both. The crippled, sick offspring are always the first to fall [3] and were indeed targeted by other semi delirious or fully insane leaders . In the United States, the ground was prepared for a quarter of a century by means of intensive propaganda which marked out the rise to power of a man who for some is a 'chosen God [4] ..
To illustrate this point, let's start with the talk shows. When Obama came to power in 2008, rage rose a notch among the “Fifty-three (53) million listeners of 91% of radio talk shows that were conservative: 2,570 hours of conservative speech were scheduled every day from the week to compare with the 254 hours of so-called "progressive" programs. Funding was (for three decades) and is of course still provided by the same donations that funded the Tea Party, hundreds of millions of dollars.
That year, Rush Limbaugh found some twenty million listeners daily at no less than 650 stations. Since then, the genre has diversified as a result of the arrival on the national airwaves of new programs whose hosts have developed a discourse of their own on the basis of a common ideological foundation. Thus, at the turn of the 2000s, Laura Ingraham, Michael Savage and Sean Hannity joined Rush Limbaugh in the ranking of the most listened to radio talk show hosts, all categories combined, and rose to the top five places in the ranking. fall 2009. They all attack what they call the parasites of the state: the sick, the welfare recipients, the civil servants (including nurses, teachers firefighters, experts of all kinds) and sick children .
In July 2008 one of the stars, Michael Sauvage, accused. Autism is a racket intended to rake in subsidies. He said it loud and clear: "Poor families have found a new way to parasitize the government. "
He returned to the attack later: "Now the disease of the day is autism," yells the Joker into his microphone. "Do you know what autism is for you?" Well, I’ll tell you. In 99% of cases, the child is so spoiled that we are not put back in their place. That's autism. What am I told that these kids scream or stay silent? Don't they have a father to tell them, "Stop your circus. It won't get you anywhere in life. Stop playing smart. Stand straight. Become a man. And stop standing on your behind shouting and yelling, you idiot ”. "
Let's move quickly on the Fox News funded by one of the richest men in the world, Harold Murdoch. He made Donald Trump cynically for he did nothing to hide what he thought of him : a total idiot . But the shrewd business men who made his fortune on false news felt that Donald Trump had a real talent for selling snake oil using the old tricks of advertisement : repetition and agitation of the whole gamut of deep emotions, namely fear and hatred, children and men first in line. Denunciation of the parasitic child broke out in 2018, when the photograph of a crying little Honduran girl, three years old at the most, while her mother was searched by the police at the American border, quickly went around the world with the speed that the web allows.
Ann Coulter, in an interview given to Fox accuses the children of being begging actors (and therefore parasites). "Do not give in, Mr. President," she yells, "Mr. President, do not be fooled by these child actors groaning and crying on all networks 24/7". And adds: "I am so nervous when I think that you are watching these television channels which only distort false information. "
Let Ann Coulter be reassured: Donald Trump only looks at the Fox and as usual, he doubled the bet. Children are imprisoned at the Mexican border in deplorable if not inhuman conditions. International press reports young children locked up in enclosures, parents panicked at the idea of not seeing their sons and daughters again The testimony of a former shelter employee speaks of "prison-like facilities" and state "of children who were fleeing, shouting, throwing furniture and trying to commit suicide". The Associated Press describes an "old warehouse" where hundreds of children are waiting in "cages". These stories underscore the unbearable cruelty of this project, less motivated by the requirements of the law (the decision to accuse all migrants of "illegal entry" and to subject them to a criminal process is discretionary) than to the stated purpose from President Trump to reduce immigration from crappy countries. [5].
Little national Americans are not locked in cages but they are abandoned to violence. When it comes to the gun lobby protecting this lucrative market always pass children's lives.
The gun lobby (The all-powerful NRA) which dictates its will to Donald Trump protects a booming industry. In its report, IbisWorld discloses annual revenues from gun and ammunition stores. Their trade weighs 3.1 billion dollars and their profit reaches 478.4 million dollars. The market is not limited to the sale of weapons and ammunition. It is an ecosystem that extends throughout the country with jobs and all the services related to it. For 2016, the firearms industry trade association (NFFS) estimated the total economic weight of the arms business at $ 51.3 billion, or $ 8.4 billion more than in 2013. [6]
Result? The second leading cause of death among children in the United States is firearms. The "steadily increasing" shootings in American schools have claimed more lives in the past 18 years than in the 20th century, a recent study finds.
Published in the Journal of Child and Family Studies, this study counted the mass shootings - in which at least four people were killed or injured - as well as the number of children aged 5 to 18 killed in them since 1940. "An alarming trend is that the overwhelming majority of shooters in the 21st century were made up of adolescents, suggesting that it is now easier for them to access weapons and that they suffer more frequently from mental health or have less conflict resolution skills. ”Study finds that 60% of the mass shootings investigated by researchers were carried out in the 20th century by adolescents aged 11 to 18, compared to 77% since the 2000s. [7].
This explains that. The United States signed the International Convention on the Rights of the Child on February 16, 1995, five years after the first 60 signatory states. BUT, the only country in the world, they have not ratified it and therefore the provisions of the CRC are not legally binding in the United States. If some of the rights of the child it guarantees are flouted in the United States, citizens cannot protect themselves in court. Article 37 does not have the force of law. It stipulates that “No child shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Neither capital punishment nor life imprisonment without the possibility of release should be imposed for offenses committed by persons under the age of eighteen years. "
You should know that each state is free to organize its justice, as long as it does not break the constitutional rules. This is why some states apply the death penalty while others have abolished it. It is also for this that the age thresholds for capital punishment vary between states and can vary, in the same state, according to the times and the laws passed on this subject in the state.
But the judicial majority is a federal domain. It is currently sixteen, for the entire United States. It used to be lower…
On June 16, 1944, George Junius Stinnez was executed in South Carolina at the age of fourteen. He is the youngest person to have been executed in the United States in this century. More than fifty years later, there are American politicians and prosecutors asking for the death penalty to be reapplied to 14-year-old and even younger offenders. In 1996, more than a hundred years after the last execution of a juvenile offender in New Mexico, the governor of that state declared himself in favor of the death penalty for minors from the age of thirteen. The last execution of a delinquent minor in California dates back to 1923. In mid-98, a member of the Texas House of Representatives announced his intention to introduce a law fixing the age at eleven years of age. a child could be sentenced to death. The examination of his proposal was subsequently postponed. It seems unlikely that a state or federal court would allow an offender under the age of sixteen at the time of the offense to remain under sentence of death or to be executed, suggesting that it is rather the demagoguery that drives senior officials. [8] According to jurists, this mention of the death penalty and life imprisonment is undoubtedly at the root of this exceptionalism.
Which settles above all, the arms lobby which dictates more than ever its policies to the American president, a slogan which it repeats ad nauseam: Guns do not kill people, people kill people. (It’s not guns that kill people, it’s people who kill people). In other words, the state has no responsibility for the killings and no regulations will impede the market and the right to bear arms, which is also the second amendment to the American Constitution (based on the totally misunderstood philosophy of Thomas Hobbes). A mentally ill adolescent kills a child. He is responsible. He is liable to the death penalty.
The circle is becoming more and more vicious because children are less and less protected by the State which increasingly refuses them access to free care, psychiatric care in mind. Initiated in the 1960s, the movement to close psychiatric hospitals continued. In 1955, the United States had one psychiatric bed per 300 people. In 2010, the ratio was 1 in 7,100 Americans, and 4,000 beds were again deleted between 2010 and 2012. Originally, the idea was to treat patients closer to home, in an open environment. In practice, this often means giving them drugs or leaving them to fend for themselves. Sheriffs complain about losing whole days recovering the sick and not knowing what to do with them, other than putting them in jail. [9] This partly explains why the rate of incarceration in the United States is 5 to 10 times higher than in other democracies, which prisons under the pretext of economy are now privatized at an accelerated rate.
Donald Trump made the promise: "I think we can do a lot of privatizations and private prisons. It seems to work much better. ” The day after his election, the two main companies in the sector, Corecivic (ex-Corrections Corporations of America) and GEO Group, saw their shares soar by 43% and 21% respectively. after being moribund for long months.
Since Reagan, adolescents and children have become prey to racketeering: schizophrenic adolescents wandering aimlessly in the streets with staring eyes, like lost dogs, young delinquents thrown out by their parents, unemployed, living on petty theft , and of course the newcomers: immigrant children of all ages. The detention centers for migrants are overwhelmingly managed by these same private companies, in particular Corecivic and GEO Group, under the supervision of the Federal Agency for Immigration and Customs (Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE).
It was a cash flow and the scandals were not long in coming. The aptly named Kids for Cash scandal involves a private Pennsylvania juvenile prison from the Mid-Atlantic Youth Services Corporation. The company was found guilty, in 2009, of having given $ 2.8 million in bribes to two judges, so that they condemned, over a period of almost ten years, 2000 children to prison terms for trivial offenses, some of which are not even criminal.
The imprisonment of immigrant children at the border has become a gold mine for shareholders. In the United States, the overwhelming majority of migrant detention centers are managed by these same private companies, notably Corecivic and GEO Group, under the supervision of the Federal Immigration and Customs Agency Enforcement, ICE). Currently, some 400,000 migrants are detained in the United States each year, according to various estimates, with a cost to the taxpayer and sources of income for businesses.
According to the research firm IBISWorld, this industry of detention of people awaiting deportation represents today 21% of a global market of private incarceration estimated at 5.3 billion dollars in the United States.
According to a UN study, more than 100,000 children are currently detained in connection with immigration to the United States, a total including children detained with their parents and minors detained separately, the UN said on Monday. "The total number of (children) detained is 103,000," Manfred Nowak, lead author of the United Nations Global Study on Children Deprived of Liberty, told AFP. He called this estimate "cautious", based on official figures as well as on "very reliable" additional sources.
None of these children, whether immigrant or American, can think of receiving an education that would allow them to rehabilitate themselves (for a crime that they did not commit in most cases). Under the leadership of Donald Trump, schools are increasingly privatized. This is a whole chapter to write.
What is left but suicide direct or through drugs. The children are abandoned. They know it. They take their own lives.
An article from the New York times documents the somber statistics with this comment.
We Americans are locked in political combat and focused on President Trump, but there is a cancer gnawing at the nation that predates Trump and is larger than him. Suicides are at their highest rate since World War II; one child in seven is living with a parent suffering from substance abuse; a baby is born every 15 minutes after prenatal exposure to opioids; America is slipping as a great power.[1]
Second degree of abandonment
There is even more serious. Donald Trump and his support team have a gospel diva: the very powerful Ayn Rand whose books have been and are best sellers which, advertising says, are rivaled only by the Bible.
Armed with a massive, intelligent ego and a simple and hard-hitting doctrine, "Long live selfishness", Ayn Rand has always fought the slightest intrusion of the government in market forces. Hence the title of a very detailed biography devoted to her (Jennifer Burns Goddess of the market). Hosted by Donald Trump and his troops, adored by both libertarians and shocking conservatives, her books are selling more than ever.
Whether in her never ending novels or in her philosophy textbooks, she violently attacks parasites. It was she who openly divided the world into two categories: that of entrepreneurial heroes whose moral vector is money and who are only disciplined by the market and the parasites created and maintained by none other than Satan ((the One of the Armageddon) protector of the state, its laws and its institutions. The enemy was designated by Donald Trump as the Democrats and all the whiners in the world begging for power and money, taking down with the them the courageous entrepreneur who live for himself and in himself. In Ayn Rand's novels, the sufferings of ordinary Americans - these "parasites", as she calls them serve as a counterpoint to the extraordinary pleasures (which she describes in bizarre sexual terms) of heroic captains of industry. [10]
She showered the parasites with insults. This philosopher, who claims to be the epitomy of objectivity, has tirelessly pilloried the enemies of entrepreneurs and growth inhibitors. She repeated endlessly the words "parasites", "looters", "beggars at the small week", "lice", "imitation of humans", "lie", or "zombies" to describe all those who do not create the wealth, but live (state officials, including teachers, firefighter or others) the sick, the retired, the list is long.
Let there be no mistake. These words are not a resurgence of her Russian culture whose colorful vocabulary we have appreciated in the books of the Comtesse de Ségur. Rand goes far beyond insult by suggesting that this vermin deserves more than the knout: it deserves death. Few readers have been able to detect from its beginnings, the implacable hatred implicit in her writings. Whittaker Chambers tried it in an article which made a lot of noise in 1957, not only by its content but because. Chambers was a respected conservative Republican "In almost every page of Atlas's Revolt," he wrote, "you hear that voice crying," In the gas chamber - Go! ". [I]
And it is true, recognizes this journalist-writer, that Ayn Rand, in the scene where passengers are trapped in a train immobilized in a tunnel, seems to take pleasure in describing their asphyxiation as if, not sharing her ideas, they deserved their fate. She whispers: "It is said that disasters are due to pure chance and some will say that Comet passengers are neither guilty nor responsible for what happens to them. Then she coldly reads the count which condemns the inexcusable intellectual errors of the sixteen men and women prisoners of the train. “The man in seat 5 of car number 7 was a worker who believed he had a“ right ”to a job, whether his employer wanted to employ him or not. The woman in cabin 6 of car number 8 was a speaker who believed, as a customer, that she had "a right" to transportation whether rail staff wanted it or not. "
Whiteker Chambers was accused by the well-meaning press, which claims to be open to all ideas, of exaggeration if not of itself being prey to hatred. He received a beating from the sect that surrounded Ayn Rand, which poured insults on anyone who dared to express the slightest reservation about her. But he worried enough Allan Greenspan, the ex-president of the American Federal Reserve, a great disciple of the Goddess of the market. He wrote the same year a letter to the New York Times to clear up what he thought was a misunderstanding. . There is no hatred, he says, but destiny. “The Atlas Revolt is a celebration of life and happiness. Justice is relentless. Creators and the blunt end goal of reason lead to joy and self-realization. Parasites that persistently avoid this goal or reason will perish as it should. "
The sentence should have frozen the blood of analysts but we still believed too much in the ideology of progressive democracy to accept to take the words seriously. Ideologies are made for that: not having to think, questioning and especially not seeing dysfunctions. "It's very convenient," says Isaiah Berlin, "and not tiring. Ideology generally exempts individuals from all responsibility: it is enough for them to surrender to the forces of history, to the laws of progress, to be right. ”. [12]
Back to the long list of Any Rand parasites. Where is the child ? The child is not a producer and depends entirely on the care and protection of the State referred to in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It goes back to the Aristotle definition of human beings being the political animal, meaning becoming human through a culture which is not genetically inherited. It takes a village to raise a child
In the psychotic world of Ayn Rand and Donald Trump, it's very simple: the child does not exist. He is not there. The child is obliterated.
Ayn Rand, in the thousands of pages novels devoted to her heros, obliterates the child "In this regard", as François Flahaut pointed out very judiciously, "it is symptomatic that in the two great bestsellers of Ayn Rand, however so large, there is no room for a child character. It is that the mere existence of children, and therefore of the relationship between generations, would have been enough to ruin the model of individual that it exalts. "[13]
But it goes much more and here I am advancing on a path where little dares to venture: that of psychotics: the child exists, as tortured and source of enjoyment.
Let’s bring back the younger years of Ayn Rand already in search of her heroes She found one Ayn Rand William Hickman . Who was he ? A mobster, a thief, a serial killer who raped, tortured and dismembered a twelve-year-old girl. The autopsy report is not publishable.
She saw in his trial the indictment of the lonely man by a servile society, of a lone hero. Inspired by the news, she began to write a novel in which the hero is inspired by Hickman. She did not publish it, but her notes have just been published: "Her trial," she writes, "is the extraordinary image of a man, alone with his conscience, who respects nothing of what society holds sacred. . A man who is alone in front of his actions ... A strong man who holds society under his feet. He was not strong enough. But is it a crime? He was not able to serve because he could dominate ... He was superior and wanted to prove it ... and that is what society did not allow him to do. "
Let's go on. Hickman, she muses, "has a wonderful free, light conscience - not cluttered with a social instinct, a horde instinct. He does not understand the necessity, that is to say the importance of the other. The others do not exist for him and he does not understand that he should exist ”[14]. She is full of praise and wallows at his feet like a silly teen ager. In her novels these superiorly selfish men are handsome, they have gray eyes and matching hair.
When we analyze the speeches of Donald Trump we will understand that he who reads so little, if not at all has on his bedside table a novel by Ayn Rand [17]. He finds himself magnificent and identifies with Howard Roark hero of The Living Source (original title: The Fountainhead). Which speaks to itself, ignites, punctuating its declarations with the leitmotif “I want to declare”. He proclaims his independence and repeats that he is not a man who exists in function of others in a society of slaves; which allows him to add that he recognizes no obligation towards men other than that of respecting their independence, as he requires them to respect his own. “I don't need justification or sanction to be what I am,” he says. I am my own justification and my own sanction. "[15] [16]
What happens to the little girls?
It will be recalled in particular that Donald Trump often went to the worldly brothel of Jeffey Epstein specializing in very young girls if not little girls. We found Trump's name in Epstein's "little black book" where he kept all of his contacts and which was stolen by an Epstein employee in 2004. The book contained 14 phone numbers for Trump, including numbers emergency, car numbers, bodyguard numbers and Trump's butler.
When Jeffrey Epstein was incarcerated at the start of the year, Trump distanced himself as he does every time one of the criminals with whom he is associated has problems with the law. [18] The press more interested in Prince Andrew did not follow up, forgetting that in 2016, just before his inauguration, a civil lawsuit had been filed against Donald Trump by a complainant who remained anonymous. During an orgy in Jeffrey Epstein's house, he repeatedly raped her when she was 13 years old, in 1994, when she was tied to a bed, and he beat her while she begged him to stop. According to the testimony, Trump would have threatened her with physical reprisals against her and her family if she revealed the reality. [19] There is no need for the press to reopen the file. He will send his lawyers, vociferate the most humiliating insults he can find, howl at witch hunts, false information and will only prove to his fanatic troops that he is indeed the victim of a Democrats' plot that 'he accuses of being filled with hatred. It is an impregnable fortress. Like a boomerang, he twists the ball over and over, tweeting, convincing a crowd that he is being persecuted.
And it works.
He knows it and enjoys it. He brags about it during his presidential campaign: "I could be in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot someone, I would not lose a voter." Would a little girl make a difference? Nothing is less certain. Whoever has never seen a fanatic crowd cannot understand the hold people like Donald Trump has. I have been trying for years to draw the attention of Europeans to these surges of fanaticism in all American media, including the Internet, and to the fact that these are the media duly financed by the largest fortunes in the world. world that makes rain and good weather [20] [21] These media created the phenomenon Donald Trump
Europeans misunderstand. They should know that there is an abysmal class divide in the United States. A huge gap separates the bottom quarter from the top quarter, while in Western Europe even the least educated and least fortunate are almost as well informed as the most privileged. Nothing surprising when you know that the American media elite are committed to providing "quality information for a quality audience", leaving it to all others to cope with the needy or distorted content of newspapers on television or certain Internet sites [22] [23] It is a captive audience which is locked up in an echo chamber taking its information only from a source. There is vibrant research, creative America, producing detailed and prescient political and economic analyzes, and there is forgotten America (not necessarily poor, not necessarily uneducated) which believes in the flat earth, in creationism in conspiracies in particular of the Deep State (composed of the CIA and the FBI) that Donald Trump constantly denounces and which he wants to get rid of. It's America that only watches FOX, whose brain is washed by Hollywood films and series featuring bad officials and secret agents who plot against the state helped by supernatural powers. The very popular XFiles series helped promotting the genre.
TOTAL ABANDONMENT
In the long history of humanity, the perverse couple formed by Donald Trump and Ayn Rand are certainly not the first. If interested in this pathology of power one can do research on the couple Nicolae Elena Ceaușescu.
But let’s stop here on what has become a voyeurism of the perversions of power. If it is true that the evil virtual couple formed by Donald Trump and Ayn Rand are not the first, they may well be the last, not because humanity will gradually come out of its follies but because humanity risks disappearing at least a good part of humanity, children first.
For entrepreneurs who want their hands free to sack the planet, any law protecting the environment, and therefore guaranteeing the survival of future generations, is a hindrance to growth: They see in ecologists, experts and other scientists, parasites who propagate false information for their own benefit. In a 60-minute interview, Donald Trump loudly proclaims, "Look, these scientists have a political agenda. There is no environmental crisis, he says, offering as the only proof his brilliant sixth sense which makes him smell all these crooks-beggars, scientists in mind. But here is the reason which guarantees him many votes. He says it frankly: I don't want to lose millions and millions of votes I don't want to be put in a bad position (not to be re-elected)
Ayn Rand appears more rational, but on the surface of the arguments. Before dying, she had the time to take on the defenders of ecology and the environment who asked the State to assume ownership of the exploitation of its resources. She sees it as a manipulation of governments, intended to reduce freedoms and to pour into emotion at the expense of reason. In Against Environmentalism, she considers that ecology is a return of the religious and the irrational, while only technical progress can improve the human condition. "Urban smog and polluted rivers," she writes, "are not good for men (although they are not as dangerous as fearmongers. It is a scientific and technological problem - not a political problem - and it will only be solved using technology. And even if smog were a risk to human life, it must always be remembered that life in its natural state, without technology, is a death sentence. ”1
But the conclusion is the same. Donald Trump is a president who has taken all the powers. He has systematically abolished the laws and regulations already in place to protect the planet. He has shut down all research on the greenhouse effect. When Donald Trump was asked when he got out of if he was not thinking about the children who will pay the price for his policies, he shrugged and said: this is their problem, I do not care. In twenty years I will be dead.
We will never repeat enough : money always takes precedence over the child. We use money and not the term capitalism, overused and politicized to the point of no longer meaning much. This international monetary exchange holds mafia exchanges, a theme to be developed if one wishes to analyze the international situation.
Laissez faire is laissez mourir : children first
But there is even more serious. In the background of Trump's speech, which resonates in other speeches in other countries that one should listen carefully, there is no much any longer denial of the environmental crisis to be replaced by an idea which smacks social Darwinism. The acceleration of global warming is on the verge of an unconscious desire for laissez-mourir. It can only help the rich countries to get rid of the teeming populations of parasitic children who cannot and will not care for.
All what will be needed is to refuse access to water, air and food. The towers of Donald Trump are paired with walls which draw the line
Denial is not climate denial. It is the denial that the elite of humanity is in danger like the masses. The wealthiest, those in Silicon Valley especially, think they will be able to immigrate to regions, distant countries on pure islands or on Mars. It was the same madness that, when atomic fear was in full swing, had underground shelters built for those who only believed in individual rescue.
The United States of America is abandoning the future.

[3] From October 1939, the health authorities began to encourage parents of disabled children to admit the youngest to one of the pediatric clinics designed for them spread throughout Germany and Austria. In reality, these clinics were nothing more than child murder services where medical personnel specially recruited for the program murdered their young patients by lethal drug overdose or by starving them to death. Medical staff and administrators only admire newborns and very young children in their clinics. Then the measures also concerned young people up to the age of 17. According to a conservative estimate, there are about 5000 disabled German children who died in the context of the "euthanasia" program during the war.

It does not report any mass shootings in the 1950s and 1960s, before a "steady increase" in school killings that began in 1979 when a mentally fragile 16-year-old girl killed in a primary school injured two adults and injured a third and eight students. The 1990s were a particularly tragic decade with 36 people killed in thirteen shootings. From 2000 to 2018, the study counted 66 deaths in 22 shootings, more than the 55 deaths in the 22 shootings that also occurred between 1940 and 1999. "In less than 18 years, we have already seen more deaths linked to shootings in schools that throughout the 20th century ”, https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2018/04/19/etats-unis-les-fusillades-dans-les-ecoles–en-augmentation-constante
