Regime change needed in Vermont

The governor is no nice guy. He demonstrates implacable hostility by tormenting thousands of Vermonters with F-35 jets

Governor Phil Scott may have a nice-guy reputation but he is no nice guy. Directing the state’s 115-decibel F-35 jets at 3,000 working-class families in Winooski, Burlington, Williston, and the Chamberlin School neighborhood of South Burlington, is not the best nice-guy behavior. It’s more like beating Vermonters over the head with a crowbar multiple times a day.

Possibly having such a nice-guy reputation helps him get away with it. But reputation aside, Vermont is actually ruled by a fanatical governor who directs the Vermont Air National Guard to assault cities full of the state’s own citizens. He methodically uses his office to demolish the health, safety, welfare, and security of thousands of Vermont families in the F-35 flight path in obsequious subservience to the war machine.

But it’s not just the physical pain and injury he inflicts with impunity:

• The newspaper, Defense News reported on April 10, 2022 that “NATO planners put the F-35 front and center in European nuclear deterrence.” The article highlights the F-35's “operational advantages” for delivering B-61 nuclear bombs to enemy targets.

• Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said on April 25 that the US was funding and supplying Ukraine in part because “we want to see Russia weakened.”

• Calling Russian attention to their base at the Burlington Airport in the Chamberlin School neighborhood, the Vermont Air National Guard flew 8 of those F-35 jets across the ocean in May to do three months of “air policing” of Russia’s borders in Eastern Europe.

So, if they were not already, Russian strategic planners were put on notice to target their nuclear missiles at all F-35 bases, including the 20 F-35s based with the Vermont Air National Guard.

Now the Scott terror regime plays roulette with the lives of thousands of Vermonters by keeping the F-35 jets at the airport in one of the most densely populated cities in the state instead of properly moving them to a location remote from any populated area. Moreover, Scott is using those thousands of Vermonters as human shields for the F-35. All on top of the vicious 115-decibel daily violent assaults he inflicts.

No nice guy is he.

Write or call your public servants and demand an immediate halt to F-35 training in cities.
