Bad People and Monsters

Back in he day I chose to spend my life working to prevent a Communist takeover of the United States. I was upset by Kruschev's statement that they would take over the USA without firing a shot.

In that effort over the years I became aware of bad people and monsters. For me, a bad person is one who harms another person physically or emotionally when the bad person wants something and takes it from another person without any permission. If the bad person enjoys the act of causing pain, then I think we can call that person a sadist.

Bad people become monsters when they harm other people on a grand scale and not on an individual scale. Monsters are bad people with access to power over large numbers of people who then harm the people over whom they have power and enjoy inflicting pain on others. Monsters have included Stalin, Hitler, Mao Tse Tung, Ghengis Khan and others.

I think Putin is a monster who enjoys hurting the people over whom he has power. He has killed hundreds of political opponents in Russia and elsewhere. His agents throw out of windows people who don't do what he demands. A person who objected to his criminal acts in St. Petersburg was shot by a sniper while driving to work. He has assassinated Russians who left the country and continued to criticize him using very lethal chemical and nuclear poisons. His troops in Ukraine instil terror by raping children while their parents are forced to watch, then the troops kill the children while their parents watch. 

Trump is a bad person who works for and wants to emulate Putin. The Radical GOP politicians and operatives who help trump is his quest are bad people helping the monster wannabes. The wannabes will be disappointed when he throws them under the bus after they have completed their task.

Putin maintains his power in Russia by killing or imprisoning his opponents. Trump will try to do the same in the United States.

The only act I have seen that can stop a monster is for the general population to demand a new government in such overwhelming numbers that the government cannot function in the capital city.

The bravest man I am aware of in history was Alexey Navalny. He was a Russian dissident who stood up to Putin loudly and persistently while surviving assassination attempts, torture and harsh prison until he finally died. His widow and his foundation continue his work today as the Anti-Corruption Foundation International. 

They have concluded that the only way to resists a monster is to fight it at every level without cessation. Here's their take:

'Here’s the best advice we can give you: never make a deal with Vladimir Putin. Especially if you’re a world leader.

At FBK, we’ve spent 15 years fighting Vladimir Putin and studying his methods—how he builds relationships, wields power, and bends the rules to serve his interests. 

We’ve seen talented journalists strike deals with him, only to become his propaganda mouthpieces. We’ve seen ambitious politicians try to outmanoeuvre him, only to end up as part of his loyal entourage. We’ve watched him violate international laws without hesitation, eliminate political opponents, and crush dissent on a massive scale.

When Alexei Navalny challenged him, Putin first tried to poison him. Then he locked him away in a remote Arctic prison. And then he killed him.

Putin calculates every move. He doesn’t see politics as a space for negotiation or compromise—he sees it as a game of brute force. If a law or treaty stands in his way, he simply ignores it or rewrites it. Then he lies about it, manipulates the facts, and fabricates evidence to justify his actions.

The world should think of Putin the way it thinks of a mafia boss. Yes, he’s rich and powerful, but he’s not rational in the way you’d expect. 

He’s driven by resentment, paranoia, and a deep sense of personal grievance. He’s said it himself—he believes the West has humiliated him, failed to treat him as an equal. That’s why he sees every agreement not as a step toward peace, but as an opportunity for revenge and domination.

You don’t negotiate with people like that. You fight them. The only way to deal with Putin is the way you deal with organized crime—cut off his money, go after his enablers, and systematically dismantle his network.

Who are the best allies in this fight? The millions of Russians who have suffered under his rule for years.

We’ve been fighting Putin for 15 years. Join us! '

We CAN sue Them All

I'm not an attorney but I think we have a valid reason to personally sue ALL the DOGE and other folks who have changed the rules of government programs against the Constitution and harmed millions of Americans. Maybe if we bring lawsuits against all the people - not just the top people, but ALL the people - who are guilty, then we can discourage their further unlawful actions. 

Federal officials who act within the law have something called 'qualified immunity' for any liability resulting from their actions as government officials, provided they act within the law, but if they acted illegally, then they lose that immunity and can be sued personally.

In my humble opinion, many social security and other agency employees and DOGE operatives have acted illegally and their actions have harmed millions of people. 

Here's a start: 

Here's what chatgpt says: 

' In general, it is very difficult to sue a U.S. federal official personally in civil court for actions taken in their official capacity due to a legal principle called "qualified immunity." This principle protects government officials, including federal employees, from being sued personally unless they violated "clearly established" law that a reasonable person in their position would have known was unlawful.

However, there are some situations where a federal official may be held personally liable:

If the official acted outside the scope of their official duties: If the official’s actions were not related to their official responsibilities (e.g., acting in a purely personal capacity), they may not be protected by qualified immunity.

If the official's conduct was willful or egregiously unlawful: If their actions were so clearly illegal that any reasonable person would have known they were violating the law, qualified immunity might not apply.

If there is a specific statute that allows for personal liability: There are some exceptions where federal officials can be personally sued, such as in cases involving civil rights violations under laws like 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (though this usually applies to state, not federal, officials).

If you believe a federal official has harmed you through illegal conduct, you may be able to pursue a civil rights lawsuit or other legal actions, but it’s important to note that suing a federal official personally is challenging and requires strong legal grounds.

For DOGE employees or any employees of a private company, personal liability depends on whether the actions were within their employment scope, whether they engaged in illegal or intentional misconduct, and whether they breached specific duties. If you were harmed by an employee's actions, you may be able to pursue a claim against the company, and in certain cases, you might also be able to bring a lawsuit directly against the employee.'
