Many boomers remember Lyndon Johnson’s famous Daisy Ad in his 1964 presidential campaign against Barry Goldwater.  In it, Johnson used a child counting (or miscounting) flower leaves as a nuclear bomb blows up behind her. It was intended to portray the dangers of a nuclear war if Barry Goldwater were elected. Among other things, Goldwater had advocated the use of nuclear weapons in Viet Nam, if necessary.  A similar ad might be righteously used now.  If Kamala Harris is elected, given that she is a wholly run subsidiary of the same people who control the current senile President, Joe Biden --the people who are playing with nuclear war with Russia-- nuclear war becomes inevitable.  That is the starkest contrast you can make with Donald Trump, who is opposed to all this madness.

John F. Kennedy defied the shadow intelligence and military industrial complex during the Cuban Missile Crisis and, by that singular act of courage, coupled with his secret back-channel relationship with Nikita Khrushchev, avoided an almost certain nuclear war back then.  That is because Kennedy understood the unique personal role the Constitution gives an American president in matters of war and peace.  The Constitution does not empower a collective, like those running policy for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.  Our founders understood that allowing a committee to decide such matters invariably destroyed Republics under conditions of crisis throughout history.  It allows for a dilution and coverups of responsibility for murderous acts and destroys the accountability the People expect from the unique individual American presidency.

Since the deliberate installation of the present senile President of the United States, the British oligarchy has had a virtual puppet in the White House who has dutifully marched the United States into a war in Ukraine with the declared aim of overthrowing Vladimir Putin and reabsorbing Russia into the Empire.  Rather than Biden, Kamala was sent in the first days of that war to drum up allied support for its onset.  Similarly, Biden blew up the Abraham Accords of Trump which had created the beginning conditions for peace in the Middle East.  Now, Israel, a nuclear power, is threatened with destruction based on playing ancient British games of religious war. 

As NATO moves to expand the war past a destroyed Ukraine into Russia proper, what will be Russia’s response?  The Neo-Con, Neo-Lib war mongers running both Kamala and Joe Biden now talk openly about crossing Russia’s established redlines for the use of nuclear weapons.  Russia has responded by announcing that they are revising their nuclear doctrine.  In the Middle East, perhaps 150,000 Palestinians have died, or are injured, and the rest face extermination.  Will Iran or other nations in the Middle East be triggered into a war with Israel?  If Israel begins to lose that war, will the U.S. intervene or, barring that and faced with the possible extinction of the Israeli state, will Israel use its nuclear weapons preemptively?  

The election of Kamala Harris ensures that there is no U.S. president capable of John F. Kennedy’s act of courage in moving to establish peace despite the insane inclinations of the Tory military industrial establishment.  Donald Trump, on the other hand, recognizes that we are very close to the ultimate extinction of mankind and has pledged to stop this insane march of madness.

There is no greater compelling reason for why Donald Trump must become President.  It matters not how much you dislike, or even hate Donald Trump.  If you want a President that is the President, who can act to avert nuclear war, you have no other option.
