FAST FOOD AD 2025: Fifth Helping

Primo Levi’s  human “monsters” that stride about various pieces of the dirt of the earth flaunting their power and control over people via their willingness to kill and maim as many human beings as it is thought necessary to destroy in order to accomplish their goals.

Ghenghis Khan and Alexander, who is called for some reason, “the Great” instead of the Butcher, are but two examples of Primo Levi’s monsters. More modern examples would be Hitler, Churchill, Stalin, Mao, Kissinger, Pinochet, Blair, Bush, etc. Some contemporary specimens are Netanyahu, Trump, Biden, Putin, Zelenskyy, etc.  Each has become the monstrous moral equivalent of Joe “the animal” Barboza—except Barboza only had his fist, his revolver and his fish tank full of piranha to engage in hideous evil and only against one human being at a time. whereas Netanyahu etc. have access to instruments of merciless mass human destruction and also access to their millions of disciples living in the Barboza spirit who desire to be an extension in time and space of their monster master.

Staying with the present moment’s celebrity hatchet man, Benjamin Netanyahu, I have heard from Christians overwhelming condemnation of him. But, what I have not heard is any Christian or Christian Church loving him as Jesus loves, by praying for his eternal salvation and by praying for his total deliverance from the Joe “the animal” Barboza diabolical spirit toward the Palestinian people—a spirit that has been nurtured in “Bibi” daily since his infancy.

After all, returning good (Christlike love) for evil in the model of Jesus, as ultimately made visible by His choices while dying on the Cross, is an essential to living an authentic Christian life, as it is equally an essential to living a Christian life to do what one can to let God work through him or her to save all souls or any soul.
