Jan 6, 2021: A 21st century Day of Infamy

It took nearly 41 years for the 20th Century Day of Infamy, December 7, 1941. But just over 20 for January 6, 2021, the 21st Century’s version.

The latter was infinitely worse. The 2,403 US military personnel killed shouldn’t have even been at Pearl Harbor. The US snatched Hawaii from the native Hawaiian natives in 1898, the first US move to become an imperial power. We had 2 reasons to commit that monstrous crime against Hawaii. We had to make Hawaii safe for Dole Pineapple and other rapacious US capitalists there. More importantly, Hawaii was the first leg of US entry into imperialism to compete with the UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, among others. Pearl Harbor was a perfect launching pad for US power in the Pacific.

But January 6, 2021 nearly destroyed the American democratic experiment after 245 years. Had the Trump traitors breached the House chamber, Congressional blood would have flowed, allowing the Traitor In Chief to declare martial law, overturn his election defeat and remain in ruthless power.

Only astounding law enforcement bravery in the face of unrelenting sedition prevented Trump’s diabolical plan from succeeding.

Day of Infamy? Pearl Harbor has nothing on Trump Sedition Day.
