GIDEON LEVY: What brings a young Israeli, someone serving in a combat unit, to torture a man by tying him to a pole? Did he wrong them somehow? He's their age, after all. Did they think about his life or his dreams? About his past, present and future? LINK ~ archive.ph/CtJZB

HANNAH ARENDT: “The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth, and truth be defamed as lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world...is being destroyed.” ― from 'Truth and Politics' (1967)
HANNAH ARENDT: “Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.” ― from 'The Origins of Totalitarianism' (1951)
ARENDT: "The outstanding negative quality of the totalitarian elite is that it never stops to think about the world as it really is... Its most cherished virtue, correspondingly, is loyalty to the Leader, who, like a talisman, assures the ultimate victory of lie and fiction over truth and reality."

The makers of that absurd 'Melania' documentary should make a new documentary about Donald Trump's glorious renovation of the Reflecting Pool! I'm certain Jeff Bezos and Amazon Prime would gladly pay for the making of such a documentary.
