Admiral Alvin Halsey resigned his post as the Pentagon’s Southern Commander after a fraught meeting with Pete Hegseth involving the US military’s unconstitutional attacks on Venezuelan fishing boats. Since then, the Trump administration has shown ever increasing signs of wanting to wage war on Venezuela.
Picture and think this through: Seagoing US vessels, leaving US ports, carrying cargo far more deadly than cocaine e.g., weapons bound for genocide-crazed Israel.
Imagine: If a foreign power began attacking said vessels claiming they were engaged in transporting deadly substances. The rage for blood vengeance would deafen the ears and numb the collective soul of the nation.
To wit, the US, via the MAGA-Reich, is perpetuating a murderous rampage on innocuous fishing boats in the Caribbean waters off the shores of Venezuela. The soul-dead Big Liars of the Trump, “the Peace President” regime insist they are entitled, by the guiding Almighty hand (caucasoid, of course) of the Sky Daddy to kill, sans consequence, to wage war, without congressional consultation and consent, and simply violate any law, domestic or international, at their Third Reich-adjacent caprice.
The beneficiaries and operatives of US imperialism believe it is their birthright to impose their blood-drenching will (in the service of their kleptocratic value system) upon the nations of the Southern hemisphere of the Americas (as well as on a global basis).
The only difference here is: the open display of bloodlust evinced by Trumpian psychopathy.
In the Nixon tapes, Richard Nixon and his three piece suit clad goon squad can be heard positing the so-called War On Drugs, in their bigotry rancid minds, was, in reality, a war they were waging on hippies, leftist radicals, Black people and other US citizens of color.
To wit, fascism is imperialism turned homeward. At present, military patrols lumber through domestic cities as the dogs of war are unloosed on weaker nations abroad, all as the worst among us pretend that not only things are normal but the hand of God — reigning over the US’ fifty-first state i.e., White supremacist Heaven — is guiding Trump’s et. al. acts of fascist/imperialist aggression.
Steve Bannon, in an interview with The Economist,
“Well he’s gonna get a third term. Trump is gonna be president in ‘28 and people ought to just get accommodated with that. At the appropriate time we’ll lay out what the plan is, but there’s a plan and President Trump will be the president in ‘28. […] “…He’s an instrument. He’s very imperfect. He’s not churchy, not particularly religious, but he’s an instrument of divine will, and you can tell this of how we’ve, how he’s pulled this off. We need him for at least one more term, right, and he’ll get that in 28.”
“[H]e’s an instrument of divine will.”
You heard it: Bannon, White’s Supremacist Heaven’s prophet on this sin-sullied earth, has foretold the future. Watching from his eternal throne room, MAGA red hat-crowned God has ordained the Third Coming of Jesus J. Trump.
The Celestial Autopen’s writing is on the wall of left-tard Babylon.
What divine punishment will befall those who do not heed the Word the Lord Of MAGA Eternity? Will the Potomac run red with blood as it did in Pharaoh’s kingdom? Will a plague of boils disfigure the pampered epidermises of Woke Hollywood? Will a rain of righteous frogs fall from Heaven to dispatch to Hell the demoniac legions of Antifa frogs of Portland?
History has revealed, whenever a nation’s rulers and assorted minions proclaim they are acting as vessels of God’s will they, in fact, are possessed by the mode of mind and modus operandi of a death cult.
We are, at present, not being confronted by the moral and spiritual equivalence evinced by followers of the First Century mystic/renegade rabbi/challenger of prevailing orthodoxy Jesus of Nazareth; we are subject to the blood-lusting rule of devotees of Moloch.
“Moloch the incomprehensible prison! Moloch the crossbone soulless jailhouse and Congress of sorrows! Moloch whose buildings are judgement! Moloch the vast stone of war! Moloch the stunned governments!”
“They broke their backs lifting Moloch to Heaven! Pavements, trees, radios, tons! lifting the city to Heaven which exists and is everywhere about us!”
— excerpts, Howl, Allen Ginsberg
They will, in the end, break their backs attempting to lift their ruling God Moloch to heaven — but not before they break the (already cracking up) US republic.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “There is no superior race. There is no ‘chosen people of God’. neither the United States nor Israel. The ‘chosen people of God is all of humanity.”
Chilean Poet Pablo Neruda limned in lines of verse the avarice-possessed worshipers of Moloch when the Yankee kleptocratic financial elite focused upon and set into motion their greedhead agendas towards the southern hemisphere of the Americas:
With the bloodthirsty flies
came the Fruit Company [i.e., any and all US corporate class fascists and their US government operatives],
amassed coffee and fruit [and oil]
in ships which put to sea like
overloaded trays with the treasures
from our sunken lands.
Meanwhile the Indians fall
into the sugared depths of the
harbors and are buried in the
morning mists;
a corpse rolls, a thing without
name, a discarded number,
a bunch of rotten fruit
thrown on the garbage heap.
— excerpt, “United Fruit Co.” by Pablo Neruda
The US imperialist installed authoritarian leadership was, in time, deposed in Chile, due to a widespread popular uprising that included nationwide general strikes.
Is a similar popular uprising possible in the US?
It would be a hard sell, due to the US citizenry-become-consumers internalization of the (false) value system concomitant to corporatism.
Reality revealed, as the MAGA-Reich’s boot of state is being lowered on the necks of marginalized outsider groups i.e., people bereft of representation, insofar as for the majority of the citizenry, the illusion of everyday normalcy continues unabated.
On a personal basis, my life story makes the inclination to normalize the abhorrent psychologically undoable. In the late 1930s, in Berlin Germany, the Gestapo entered the family home of my maternal grandparents and arrested my grandfather. He, the Jewish owner of a scrap metal business, was accused of crimes against the state.
Henrik Meyer was the treasure of an anti-Nazi resistance group. For the crime of dissent against fascism he was imprisoned in Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Later, my grandmother placed her two daughters, my mother and my aunt, on a Kindertransport bound for the UK. Thus whether it is Israel’s genocidal rampage through Gaza with the agenda of a Zionist version of Lebensraum1Lebensraum is a German term meaning “living space” that was used by the Nazis to justify their policy of territorial expansion and aggression, particularly eastward into Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. This concept was a central part of Nazi ideology and foreign policy, aimed at acquiring more land for German settlement by conquering and displacing the existing populations, whom the Nazis considered racially inferior. or Christian-nationalist deification of the rightwing propagandist Charlie Kirk or ICE fascistic thuggery perpetrated on those human beings labeled alien others — I feel outrage rising from ancestral memories stored in my very DNA.
Yet under authoritarian rule, life goes on as official cruelty is passed off as the rule of law Trump snarls, US urban areas are crime plagued hellscapes in which lawlessness threatens all that is good and decent. Therefore the only lawless permitted…is the caprice of his fascist shock-troops. Lawlessness should be an exclusive privilege of the state.
An ICE thug in Addison, Illinois, donning an American flag mask, smashes a woman’s car window with her terrorized children inside the vehicle.
All coming to pass as Steve Bannon and his fellow Christian-nationalist asylum inmates of the MAGA dayroom would have us believe the hand of The Lord is guiding the handcuffing of children and the rendering of detainees — innocent of any having committed any crime — to undisclosed “black sites” across the globe wherein they are confined to what are, in essence, no-exit death camps.
Spanish Prisoner, 1939, by Henry Moore.
Are you angry yet? Do you feel a sense of animus rising from your gut? Anger is libido. For the moment, do not attempt to push it away.
While rightist demagogues retail in displaced anger, on-target, sacred vehemence changes the world for the better.
In closing, I proffer this request: to consider, what is the fate of empire? And, finally, to ask yourself, what will be my part in the unfolding scene?
“Destiny is what you are supposed to do in life. Fate is what kicks you in the ass to make you do it.”
— apocryphal, but often attributed to novelist Henry Miller
