Theodor Seuss Geisel aka Dr. Seuss' Antifa Political Cartoons from 1941
Political cartoon by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel) published in the newspaper PM on February, 1941 Relatives? Naw... Just three fellers going along for the ride! America First, Nazis, Fascists, Communists Political cartoon by Dr. Seuss, published in the left-leaning New York newspaper PM in 1941, which satirizes the isolationist "America First" movement before the U.S. entered World War II. The cartoon depicts a figure labeled "America First" joined by a single, continuous beard to a figure wearing a Nazi swastika. It suggests that the "America First" isolationists were inextricably linked with Nazi ideology, despite their claims of being unrelated. The text below the image describes them as "The Lads with the Siamese Beard! Unrelated by blood, they are joined in a manner that mystifies the mightiest minds in the land!". The "America First" committee advocated for an "impregnable defense for America" and argued that American democracy could only be preserved by staying out of the European war. Political cartoon by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel) titled "The Great U. S. Sideshow," published in the newspaper PM on February 13, 1941. It criticizes the United States' isolationist policy and "America First" movement before its entry into World War II. The cartoon warns against the dangers of American isolationism and the policy of appeasement toward Nazi Germany and Japan during World War II. Symbolism: The figure labeled "Appeaser" has his pants down, revealing he has "no guts," while a character resembling Uncle Sam (left) directs the audience's attention to him. The image is a political cartoon by Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, from 1941. The cartoon, titled "And the Wolf Said," criticizes American isolationism and the "America First" movement during World War II. It depicts a woman wearing a shirt that says "AMERICA FIRST" reading a book titled "ADOLF the WOLF" to two children. The text at the top quotes the woman as saying, "... and the Wolf chewed up the children and spit out their bones. But those were Foreign Children and it really didn't matter".

Musk's people infiltrated the GSA technology arm early on and demanded root-level access to computer systems, trying to circumvent normal security procedures. Here's one example where they pushed so hard they forced someone to resign rather than give in.

Why did they do this?
