FOR MR. JOHN PODESTA

PERSONAL
 
Dear Mr. Podesta:

May I submit that the most recent political developments in your 
country have not only surprised but also worried me mainly due
to the fact that, although out of curiosity and apprehension, I have 
often found myself watching CNN news (which are now more 
partisanship than news), I have only seen one person, an
African-American commentator denouncing the new brand of fascism 
that has appeared and is clearly prospering in the United States.  

I have somewhat felt some apprehension after hearing the most clearly 
brutal fascist statement last week because I live in the same continent, 
and my country has been under enormous influence of U.S. interests 
and was invaded by the full U.S. military power twenty-five years ago. 
The commentator who denounced the neofascism did not expand his 
remarks but I did notice that when one of the candidates asked Mr. Trump 
if he would order U.S. armed forces to kill families, including non-belligerent 
women, he replied affirmatively, and when he was asked if he believed 
that the U.S. military would commit such crimes as those condemned in 
Nuremberg after one million U.S. soldiers lost their lives to defeat Nazism, 
he did not evade the question saying that he would not give such orders, 
in lieu of his usual evasions he replied that they would obey if he ordered them. 

Such an answer may not be taken lightly, but nobody seems to have 
noticed it and nobody has mentioned it.

As to my previous message concerning a question about your legislation 
on taxes and tax returns, upon checking the email I had already sent, I 
noticed that the information that appears in the Internet had disappeared, 
so I attach it below because Mr. Trump is spending millions now in his 
campaign, because he would have to show his tax returns to donors if 
he had any considerable ones, because he did declare that he would 
eliminate the IRS after being elected President, because it is the President 
who appoints the IRS top officials and no government official would 
dare as much as auditing the President.  

The Internet text is attached.  I think that it should be distributed among all 
those Americans who have learned how to read and it is written in very 
clear simple language.

I would now appreciate a reply only stating at least that you received this 
message. I am simply a Panamanian Yalie who is 83 years old and already 
concerned thinking about the possibility of having myself to deal with 
murderous fascism before I die.  I suppose that for having to face something 
like Bertolt Brecht’s Fear and Misery of the Third Reich one would have 
to live on the designated side of the wall.
 
Yours sincerely,
 
D. Fabrega
