The Police State Isn't Coming, It's Already Here

“It is when power is wedded to chronic fear that it becomes formidable”.

- Eric Hoffer

Not that I care very much for John Rutherford of the Whitehead Institute, a notorious right-wing think tank but as the old adage goes – even a broken clock is right twice a day. In his latest piece entitled ” ‘Boston Strong’: Marching in Lockstep with the Police State. Rutherford, who backed that ugly tramp Paula Jones in her lawsuit against the horndog in chief Bill Clinton cuts through the flag-swaddled dreck to call a spade a spade. Boston was placed under MARTIAL LAW last Friday, a day that will prove to be as dark as any in this nation’s history when all is said and done with. The Rubicon was officially crossed on April 19, 2013 and the only thing that is more disturbing than the massive show of paramilitary power in Beantown is the degree that it has been accepted, just another feature of “The New Normal”. 

I will now excerpt from Whitehead’s piece  -

 

Whatever the threat to so-called security—whether it’s rumored weapons of mass destruction, school shootings, or alleged acts of terrorism—it doesn’t take much for the American people to march in lockstep with the government’s dictates, even if it means submitting to martial law, having their homes searched, and being stripped of one’s constitutional rights at a moment’s notice.

As journalist Andrew O’Hehir observes in Salon:

In America after 9/11, we made a deal with the devil, or with Dick Cheney, which is much the same thing. We agreed to give up most of our enumerated rights and civil liberties (except for the sacrosanct Second Amendment, of course) in exchange for a lot of hyper-patriotic tough talk, the promise of “security” and the freedom to go on sitting on our asses and consuming whatever the hell we wanted to. Don’t look the other way and tell me that you signed a petition or voted for John Kerry or whatever. The fact is that whatever dignified private opinions you and I may hold, we did not do enough to stop it, and our constitutional rights are now deemed to be partial or provisional rather than absolute, do not necessarily apply to everyone, and can be revoked by the government at any time.

Particularly disheartening is the fact that Americans, consumed with the need for vengeance, seem even less concerned about protecting the rights of others, especially if those “others” happen to be of a different skin color or nationality. The public response to the manhunt, capture and subsequent treatment of brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is merely the latest example of America’s xenophobic mindset, which was also a driving force behind the roundup and detention of hundreds of Arab, South Asian and Muslim men following 9/11, internment camps that housed more than 18,000 people of Japanese ancestry during World War II, and the arrest and deportation of thousands of “radical” noncitizens during America’s first Red Scare.

To be a Muslim in America today it to be “Juden” in 1930’s era Germany, already the persecution machine is ramping up. It may not exactly be September 11,  2001 but it’ll do.

It is astonishing to witness the degree that unquestioning American lemmings so easily acquiesce to the rapidly tightening of the iron fist of state. This is what happens when a society is conditioned to live in fear. There was a time not so long ago where being forced to take off one’s shoes at an airport and being aggressively frisked by government goons would have elicited outrage. This is no longer the land in which we dwell, the sate and those who profit from it have seized on the September 11^th 2001 events to justify any and all foreign aggression and the stripping of rights here at home. No perceived offense is too small to add more paramiltary equipment and training to local police forces, already augmented by the Homeland Security Gestapo. The bad assed bogeyman Osama bin Laden may now be sleeping with the fishes but leave it to the Neocon embeds, Dick Cheney’s stay behind network and the ever complicit state media to ensure that there will be new arch villians and “monsters” to arm the police against, now it is the brothers Tsarnaev who serve as our Emanuel Goldstein. As I sit here sipping my morning cup o’ joe there are forces desperately looking for any sort of ginned up linkage between the Chechens who set off their dastardly shrapnel bomb at the Boston Marathon and overseas groups, like the Manichean devil Al Qaeda. It is very, very essential for the America that we now exist in to keep the already cowardly public in a state of constant fear. I recall a book that I once read entitled American Terminator that examined the role of Hollywood movies as an essential propaganda tool for shaping and reinforcing the basis for a mythical American exceptionalism and its desire for empire. The following passage is from that book which I strongly recommend to everybody with an interest in just how celluloid serves as a delivery device that is very useful in the indoctrination process.

Fear is essential: ‘Be afraid, be very afraid’ is the American condition.

To live in America is to be beset by fear, anxiety and insecurity, to be surrounded by potential harm, enemies and evil intent. And the wolf is always at the door. A nation of optimists is the more usual self-representation of America. Repetitively, Hollywood films conclude with a resolution, a rescue, and the winners ride off into the sunset or snuggle into a warm embrace that reassures us they will live happily ever after. The formulaic ending, however, is necessary because the plot, the narrative, is founded on and propelled by fear and anxiety, the dark essential underpinning of the American condition. For America fear is an original, natural condition, the inescapable birth rite (and birth right), the inherited condition of a fragile existence that must constantly be defended. Without fear there is no America; constant recourse to fear is the motivating force that determines its actions and reactions.

That was until 9/11 and the brain freezing FEAR of potential terrorism in the USA became the ultimate talisman of the state.  Herman Goering had it absolutely correct when he famously said:

“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country”

And as Whitehead puts it

As the events in Boston have made clear, it does indeed work the same in every country. The same propaganda and police state tactics that worked for Adolf Hitler 80 years ago continue to be employed with great success in a post-9/11 America.

And the public of course always buys it, quivering, sniveling, pissing in their pants and practically screaming “please….take my freedom away”. Already, the Boston lockdown has provided cover for the TSA (an un-American entity that should be shredded into a million pieces and cast to the winds so counter to the concept of freedom that it is) to revoke the recently granted permission to carry miniature pocket knives onto airplanes. Really, just how fucking stupid are Americans if they believe that something so small as this can be used to actually highjack a plane? Americans watch too much television and too many movies, a decade and a half ago if a potential hijacker would have pulled out a mini-swiss army knife he would have been laughed off the plane. But the official state conspiracy theory of September 11, 2001 has become gospel that a group of losers who were allegedly well enough trained to take over jet airplanes with nothing but a box cutter and then to utilize their simulator flight training to pull off precision military daredevil piloting that even the most crackerjack pilots in the world would have trouble with has worked. It has worked out so well that any questioning of said official conspiracy theory is treated as a great apostasy and will have one immediately shunned by those whose worldview has been shaped by such lurid dramas as “Homeland” and “24”, but I am not going to go there this morning.

My oh my how the black vans will roll…

When Martial Law Came to Boston

Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave.

-Roy Batty

As it has been with every other aspect of the fascism that has come to this land, a sad, permanently damaged and ultimately to be damned by the judgement of history place of fear and loathing the roll out of martial law to American soil, in Boston on Friday was wrapped in the flag.The heinous and barbaric act of sheer inhumanity that precipitated it was Monday's bomb detonations at the Boston Marathon where a despicable act of criminality was perpetrated by scum. Nobody who plans and then carries out such a malicious act of cruelty is deserving of anything less than being made subject to the full fury of the law. Those were innocent people whose lives were forever ruined by those monstrous little Chechen bastards and their shrapnel bombs. People who were happy, trained at length for their race and for them it was to be a day of personal triumph and accomplishment and they were deprived of it, some will never run again. It was an act that defines the very essence of all that is diseased and wrong with the human condition and will forever live in infamy. That being said, the overreaction of authorities in rolling out a de facto state of martial law will prove to be far more damaging to this already reeling nation than anything that the brothers Tsarnaev did on that lamentable day of blood, horror and sorrow. 

Just as those events of September 11, 2001 set into motion a series of actions that led to two ruinous and nationally bankrupting wars, the evisceration of American civil liberties, the unleashing of an out of control and ever expanding surveillance apparatus that has no accountability, the codifying of torture, a terminally damaged political system and a myriad of other indignities so too shall Black Friday, April 19, 2013. It was on this day that the streets of Boston and the surrounding suburbs brought to mind scenes from a certain European place in the middle of the last century, armored troops marching through civilian streets and the local citizenry stripped of their rights of freedom, prisoners within their own homes. Paramilitary forces which only in Orwellian newspeak terms can be called "police" with a straight face descended in legions with their armored vehicles, shining black body armor and of course their ever more deadly military weaponry. The city was "locked down" as the 19 year old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, badly wounded in the earlier shootout that killed his older brother was hunted down like the rabid dog that he is. The citizenry cowered as the storm troopers banged on doors, without warrants of course but such trivial matters cannot be bothered with in our dystopian police state. As Bryant so famously put it to Deckard in the movie Blade Runner - "If you're not cop you're little people" and when the scent of blood vengeance is is in the air and the jackboots are kicking at the door there really are only two options.

The media breathlessly hyped this mega-story, you would think that it was O.J. redux or at the very least another breaking news alert about Oscar Pistorious. As the old news maxim goes - when it bleeds, it leads and the bloodier the better for the carrion ensconced in their electronic nests. But this was over the top, way over the top. The freshly severed limbs of the bombing victims had yet to be fully treated when the news cycle suddenly swung into action to cover the search for the alleged perpetrators. By the time that the FBI had released the photos of the brothers the hunt was on and indeed the media found it to be good sporting fun, and very, very lucrative to the bottom line. There were times on Friday that I thought that I was watching the sequel to "The Running Man" with the way that the internet news site headlines changed the prey was being closed in on while the audience was transfixed. The one that I found particularly chilling (and more than a bit nauseating) I believe was on CNN or some other state propaganda organ and was in a huge screaming font WHERE IS HE? as Friday afternoon turned to evening. The sports websites and blogs were even in on the action, not surprising as this was the greatest game in the country for those two or so blessed days after the suspects were set upon by the black clad militarized goon squads. As of today, not one of the cowardly bitches and bastards has called the Boston response martial law, and those who have are mocked, scorned and attacked as crazies.


Typically it didn't take long for  the usual vermin, the authoritarian Republicans to drop their silly post-election image makeover and slither out from under their rocks to play. The porcine Long Island bigot Peter King was practically calling for all Muslims to be made to wear crescent badges sewn to their clothing and herded into ghettos. Not that it bothered the insane swine when his beloved Irish Republican Army was blowing civilians including children to bits while he proudly supported them back in the 80's. Then of course there was the ubiquitous Lindsey Graham, once again venturing out of his closet to pontificate from the Sunday morning media masturbatory fests where narcissistic beltway celebrities playact as though they are really journalists rather than the sycophants and toadies that they are and always have been. Senator Graham, soon to be joined by the dyspeptic old fool John McCain will call for military tribunals and the expansion of Gitmo and it is inevitable that this latest outrageous act of violence will serve as the basis for a national 'conversation' on the use of armed drones across the fruited plain. McCain especially is a veteran media whore, the doddering and drooling buffoon has been comfortable in front of the cameras ever since he made those Commie propaganda videos to curry favor with this Vietnamese captors and his mania for revenge will soon use the Boston bombings to call for yet another war, likely Iran this time. If they have not done so already there will soon be linkages in the slimier realms for the right-wing Koched up media and blogosphere tying the bombing to Obama, likely by invoking the bogeyman Bill Ayers. Some things never change.I have already seen several stories using the bombing by the brothers Tsarnaev in order to exploit the anti-immigrant bigots that are the party base, I suspect it is only a matter of time until Rush or Glenn or Sean or Ann or any of the other turds is out there promulgating some hogwash about a linkage to gay marriage. Not to worry though, there will be plenty of company from ever feckless Democrats, quislings whose cynicism never fails to surprise when it comes to reigning in an out of control armed to the teeth national asylum.

After the killing of Tamerlan and the capture of Dzhokhar, who is being held in the state of legal limbo that now has replaced due process in this rotten land of incipient fascism it was like Christmas morning and the day after a Patriots Super Bowl win all wrapped into one. There were celebratory affairs at Red Sox and Bruins games as well as throughout the nation at sporting events, it was like another hit of that mythical narcotic post-9/11 national unity that the Neocons have long found to be far, far better than sex, a red, white and blue orgasm screamed out to the tune of the Star Spangled Banner. Obama, whose lamentable time in office has all by chiseled the Bush-Cheney abomination into stone even showed up in Beantown to make one of his fine speeches. This time unlike Sandy Hook Elementary, when another terrorist named Adam Lanza blew the guts and brains out and the limbs off of twenty small childrenchildren there WILL be action. You see, in the down the rabbit hole existential hell of the "new normal" in America any mass killing that feeds the beast and expands the police state. This is especially so if it can be used as additional justification to sell even more guns is a dead bang certainty to go over in a true bipartisan manner with the rats in the halls of our contemptible Congress. While not even watered down background checks on gun purchases with massive public support can become law a further weaponizing of the state after the Boston tragedy is certain to not only result in an immediate ratcheting down of civil liberties in the name of "safety". The rancid buzzard that is Wayne LaPierre, fresh off of the feasting on the corpses of the Sandy Hook victims to sell more guns will likely be pushing the meme that if all of the runners and spectators at the Boston Marathon had just had more guns then none of this would have ever happened.

This is a sickening time in history to be an American, our forebears would be ashamed. There is no longer such a thing as social justice as the ultra-wealthy and well-connected burrow themselves into government to ensure that the shrinking and increasingly desperate taxpayer can be shaken down to subsidize Wall Street gambling. The founding fathers, the ones who are constantly invoked by the selectively fascist shock troops of the so-called Tea Party would be aghast that that fine Constitution that they put together has been gutted as America becomes a more palatable to the eye banana republic but the ones who would be the most ashamed would be our World War II veterans. They sacrificed all to fight fascism but it is now a rising and malevolent force that only grows stronger, like a city killing hurricane.

And the fascism was on display for all to see on Friday in the streets of Boston, how much longer until it comes to YOUR city?

From Their Cold, Dead Hands

I guess the question is, how paranoid do you want to be? How many guns does it take to make you feel safe?

-Stephen King

 We live in a sick society. We are saturated in violence, at once a byproduct of our bloody, not to be talked about real national history as well as the electronic brain washer that is the television. How many, just think about this for awhile now... how many simulated murders does the average American child witness courtesy of the tee vee by the time he/she reaches adolescence? America has always been an overly violent country, our official history, written by the victors as always and then gussied up and given a red, white and blue coat of shellacking before being spoonfed to the lemmings while God Bless America plays in the background  is rife with murder. We can of course start with the butchering of the original indigenous inhabitants in the name of greed but given the name of Manifest Destiny, a nice little nugget of propaganda before the Edward Bernays, Joseph Goebbels, Frank Luntz century. So really, when a heinous mass slaughter by a heavily armed lunatic, say in an Aurora Colorado movie theater during the debut of a new Batman movie or at Virginia Tech, Columbine and even despite it's horrific pre-Christmas timing in Newtown Connecticut one eventually becomes numb and cynical. Really, in a society that reveres gun violence, treats it as a religion actually is it ever a surprise when it does happen?

And while there is always a temporary national 'discussion' over gun control (it's way too late for that now) the inevitable happens. The murder industry dispatches their squadrons of lobbyists to cajole, bribe and intimidate our cowardly feckless political whores and the firearms and ammo manufacturers mount the inevitable public relations assaults on the body strewn beachhead of common sense to ensure that profits will never suffer. And as always the insane right-wingers are whupped into a frenzy by the fear pimps and morally bankrupt payroll propagandists the likes of Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin and their ilk exhort the paranoids and freaks to go out and buy more guns and ammo as the murder industry locks in their gains after the are convinced that the big gun confiscation is coming.

Then there are the worst of the worst, takethe maniacal, unhinged ghoul that is Wayne LaPierre, Grand Poobah of the National Rifle Association (NRA). Wayne is the top pimp for the gun industry and is doing his damned level best to shrilly muster the support of the paranoid Boobus Americanus who has watched too many Clint Eastwood movies and whose knowledge of history has been strained through John Wayne's dirty undershorts into stockpiling guns and ammo. You see, the Kenyan in the WHITE House is coming to take the guns away, you see, it was all a U.N. communist plot, time to rouse the rabble, circle the wagons and get ready for the jack-booted big gubmint thugs soon to be landing in the very front yards of god fearin' good Americans in those sleek, silent big black helicopters. LaPierre, a man devoid either dignity or a soul recently used the national horror of the Sandy Hook massacre, a slaughter under the Christmas lights of innocent six and seven year children by a mentally ill freak with access to his equally deranged armed to the teeth survivalist mother's gun collection to shill for even more guns. He is a vulture picking the flesh from the bones of murdered children and a vile pederast who molests them while they lie in their sad little graves, lives of promise stolen away by more greed and a predilection for national fascism by a diseased fifth column that has existed for far too long.

Recently there have been some bugs put up the ass of LaPierre and the other fiends. Prolific author Stephen King came out with a wonderful little tract of an e-book simply entitled "Guns". King makes his case against the multimillion dollars of NRA/murder industry agitprop and predictably caught hell from the dirty cowards and their mindless, over-armed and always hostile as they are stupid minions. King, being a man who has made a pretty damned nice living off of selling violent stories attacks LaPierre's blaming of the mass shootings on a culture of violence, movies, mayhem and video games. I disagree with King here, the cultural aspects of violence ARE a result of media but a dumbed down, jacked up on Jesus juice, fucked over by parasitical predatory capitalism populace exposed to that garbage should not be allowed to easily and legally stock up on assault weapons. But that is beside the point because King's money paragraph is right here -

Men (it's always men) who go postal and take out as many innocents as they can may be crazy, but that doesn't mean they're stupid. The don't arrive at the scenes of their proposed slaughters armed with single-shot .22s or old-style six-round revolvers of hte sort Jimmy Cagney was waving around at the end of Public Enemy; they bring heavy artillery to the gig. Some back down, but when they don't carnage follows, the kind that gives cops and EMTs nightmares for years afterward. One only wishes Wayne LaPierre and his NRA board of directors could be drafted to some of these scenes, where they would be required to put on booties and rubber gloves and help clean up the blood, the brains and the chunks of intestine still containing the poor wads of half-digested food that were some innocent bystander's last meal. 

Wow. Do you think that would get their attention? LaPierre, a craven coward can grab a mop and clean up the mess that the product that he shills for creates when in the wrong hands, and he can bring along that mangy, putrid, draft-dodging, baby daddy has been shock rocker Ted fucking Nugent to clean up his vomit. 

Right-Wing Lynch Mob Closes in on Obama

Barack Obama is toast, the full fury of the establishment is about to be brought down upon him as it ensures that he won't even make it until November in one piece. The latest and probably most serious threat to his lamentable presidency is the squealing of the Republican pigs for an inquisition on national security leaks alleged to have come from the White House to bolster his election chances. This is of course total bullshit and the accusers were nowhere to be found when Valerie Plame's cover was blown by the Bushreich and that scumbag Israeli fifth columnist Scooter Libby. The memory of the television mesmerized lemming flock is not long enough to recall that foul and treasonous affair, it might as well have happened in 1663 instead of 2003. This one will surely resonate though and the attacks are likely designed to offset Obama's playing the I killed the big, bad bogeyman Osama bin Laden card in the campaign. The human excrement that is the right-wing has already made hay out of delegitimizing Obama's presidency to the mouth-breathing meatheads and morons by spreading the ludicrous birth certificate propaganda, convinced chuckleheads throughout the land that the footstool for Wall Street is a socialist or commie and to some of the more demented members of the god gang that Obama is actually the Antichrist himself.

This is going to be ugly too, especially with Israeli/Pentagon stooge John McCain sliming out of his dirty hole once again to whore himself out to the media and wail for an investigation. Look for the remaining three members of the maverick circle jerk caucus, Joe Lieberman, Lindsay Graham and newly minted butt-boy Marco Rubio to join in the attack. Rubio is a real douchebag too and the Republican fascist party has big plans on marketing that greasy little turd to the growing Hispanic demographic, a smiling Ricky Ricardo type who croons sweet salsa songs while his party sends out the I.C.E. goon squads and backs a Nazi Germany style "papers please" campaign to harass and humiliate anyone with brown skin. Rubio, like the Skeletor looking criminal Governor P. Rick Scott rode the tsunami of racist demagogy into power in Florida, the diseased penis of America and will figure prominently in the coming restoration of the party to total and I mean total control. McCain has always had a burr up his puckering asshole towards Obama after being bitch slapped by the black man back in 2008 when he got his ass kicked in the general election. Never mind that his neocon inspired choice of the wild  and loony Alaskan dingbat Sarah Palin conjured up images of Hitler and Hindenberg and the pit bull with lipstick would have access to the nuclear launch codes which scared the bejesus out of millions it was easier to just blame it on the black dude and Chicago politics. McCain sure didn't get his panties in a wad when Karl Rove chopped off his balls back in 2000 in South Carolina but Rove, who belongs in a federal prison for his role in the Plame outing is white.

This one is going to get the traction that all of the pigfuckery of the party of Reince Priebus (geez,the Third Reich would even make him tone that name down) and Karl Rove could never get the bogus Solyndra faux scandal to stick to the wall and with McCain and the rest of the swine pimping it to an eager to please their corporate bosses media it will stick to the Teflon coated shit salesman Obama too. Granted it's not the prized sex scandal because if there is one thing even the most buttfuck stupid of Americans understands it is the grave matter of someone putting Mr. Wiggly into the dirty place. Just ask John Edwards about that one, I have no idea why these idiots keep falling for the honey traps that are set for them by the garbage on the right but fall they do and are then publicly crucified for their inability to keep their dicks in their pants while demons like George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney are free to live as dignitaries and cash in on book deals and speaking gigs despite being murderous war criminals. Hey, is this a great country or what?

And with the human (and I use that word extremely loosely) oil slick that is Darrell Issa who is about as slippery as a greased hamster at Bohemian Grove ratcheting up the pressure on dirty Eric Holder, a man whose sordid past should have disqualified him from so much as cleaning the floors and toilets at the Justice Department he will do as all rats do and roll over on his boss. DOJ is a teeming sewer of some of the biggest turds in this country and has been for a damned long time now, a haven for crooked lowlifes and bottom feeders the likes of Edwin Meese, Alberto 'Torquemada' Gonzalez, Janet Reno, Michael Mukasey and John Ashcroft are the most prominent but among career officials the rot runs deeply and the place is like a snakepit without a bottom. That however is a story for another time, you can bet that Holder will squeal like the proverbial pig dipped in hot oil as the notorious partisan hack Issa and his cronies dangle the contempt and other charges over his wretched head.

Not that I am any fan of Obama's, far from it, but it could get much worse. Ad especially ominous omen is the ongoing Project Mockingbird Washington Post celebration of Watergate and with Manchurian McCain practically jumping through flaming hoops and blowing a pea across the floor to attract the contemptible for profit media to push for a tribunal on what is going to soon be labeled in typical idiotic fashion LEAKGATE. McCain is great at these things, just ask the communist Viet Cong who easily got the "maverick" to make anti-American propaganda films while his fellow prisoners at the Hanoi Hilton got the shit stomped out of them, were starved and heinously tortured while the admiral's son cut deals with the enemy.

Despite all of his failings Obama has seriously put a burr up the ass of the establishment and they are going to bring down hell upon his head like the alternate ending of Apocalypse Now when the air cav destroyed Colonel Kurtz's compound. In 2012 blowing the president's head off in public is far too crude, they have other more sophisticated methods of assassination now.

Just my two cents

American Scum: Republicans Bask in the Scent of Fresh Blood

On Tuesday it all exploded for the Democrats, just like one of those hapless frogs that George W. Bush reputedly liked to stuff lit firecrackers up their asses and hurl in the air as a child, getting a chubby as he watched them explode into smoking balls of green and red bits. Or more appropriately like a flaming bag of dogshit parked on their doorstep on Obama’s inauguration day that has now been stomped on. In what amounts to total victory for the fascist right Americanized version of Golden Dawn the once disgraced criminal entity that is the Republican party broke the back of the left. With the rotten, cheese-eating vermin that is Wisconsin governor Scott Walker smacking down the recall and Republican scum throughout the land revitalized and backed by the bottomless coffers of the second generation Stalinists Charles and David Koch the machine is now fully set on kill and the bund halls and megachurches are rousing the rabble this very morning. The smell of fear and desperation oozes from Barack Hussein Obama’s every pore as the lynching parties salivate over the bloodletting of the next several months until he is metaphorically dragged from the WHITE House on the end of a rope behind a Ford F150 by a horde of mean-assed, juiced up rednecks looking to finally take their country back.

It was a triumph of money over the mindless as Wisconsinites frontal lobes were broiled like so much beer sodden bratwurst by waves of propaganda delivered to them through their television life support devices. With the Walker victory having proven that northern types are just as easily duped into voting against their own economic self-interests as their less sophisticated peckerwood counterparts south of the Mason-Dixon Line there will be upwards of a billion dollars spent on propaganda until November 6^th. That is of course a lowball estimate because thanks to the RATS (Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Scalia) and Citizens United there will be no limit to what can be spent to install the feckless and slimy used car salesman Willard ‘Mitt’ Romney as Obama’s replacement and the complete destruction of the country that the Bushreich wasn’t able to finish will resume. The fat cats, banksters, theocrats, warmongers and high-rolling, tax chiseling plutocrats will be partying like it was January 20, 1981 again. They will storm into Washington like a conquering army, drop a fumigation tent over 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to rid the air of Negro and rename the place Reagangrad. The economic strip-mining can then shift into overdrive and the for profit prison gulags filled to capacity. Mobs of militarized police will be sent forth to gas, beat and disappear any Occupy movement types and drunk on victory teabaggers will prowl the streets of Reagangrad looking for Code Pink activists to bludgeon and sodomize. It will be morning in American anew.

Walker and his minions hit the Sunday morning bloviation circuit to escalate the war on the last vestiges of labor. Indiana governor Mitch ‘son of a bitch’ Daniels pontificated from the Roger Ailes terrorist television network to call for the elimination of public sector unions. Strange or more appropriately hypocritical how the police worshipping right-wing filth salivate over stripping their beloved blue boys of their collective bargaining rights but fully emboldened by their stomping of those damnable teachers the scumbaggers are full of piss and vinegar now. The hated New Deal is about to be rolled back and social Darwinist Ayn Rand freaks like Paul Ryan won’t have to put granny before a death panel, she won’t live that long once shorn of Medicare. Romney will of course take aim at the Holy Grail in delivering to the degenerate hustlers on Wall Street all Social Security funds that they can then gamble with, can you say DOW 80,000? It will be all thanks to the television lobotomized sheep who in the words of the brilliant social critic George Carlin who “continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don't give a fuck about them.” As for the “social conservatives” (politically correct term for ignorant hateful bigots) one can understand their motivation, the Republican fascists cynically and fully understand the powerful allure of using God to manipulate the mindless and have for the past three and a half decades used them as shock troops. Marx had it right about religion being the opiate of the masses but in his day before the advent of technology he was unable to see television becoming their black tar heroin. By mid-October the lies and hatemongering of the Republican fascist party will probably even be inserted into fucking Doritos commercials in some diabolical subliminal form.

The current savior of the week, Governor Walker himself appeared on CBS’s Face The Nation and Rick Santorum on Press the Meat. The message being pounded out that the unions are enemies of society and must be banned, cut out like a cancer along with that dangerous Islamist Commie Obama. Stomping out the gays can wait, like their role model Hitler the fascist Republicans fully understand that in order to rise to the pinnacle of power that the cooperation of big business is necessary. The Nazis were terrorizing and murdering labor unionists, socialists and the hated liberals long before they gassed the first Jew at Auschwitz. Obama will be peeled like a ripe melon over his dismal record on the economy and were it a genuine flogging it would be justified. He cut deals with the criminal scum that destroyed the economy and in their gratitude they then brought in Mitch McConnell back in early 2009 and repaid the favor by ensuring that Obama would not be able to change his mind. His administration was packed with weasels, traitors and guardians of the status quo, embedded to ensure that his tenure would be brief and when it was over the public could be counted upon to go into “blame it on the nigger” mode in restoring control over the spoils system to the same bastards who blew it all up in the first place. Geithner and Bernanke have been in the bag for the banksters and fellow mole, the longtime fixer Eric Holder has just directed his look the other way Justice Department to open what promises to be a very ugly and damaging probe into White House leaks on national security to bolster Obama’s reelection chances. The Republicans are engorged with the scent of blood and going in for the kill, the public incapable of either long term memory or the ability to question where all of the pigs were when Valerie Plame’s cover was blown and the Bushreich routinely rigged the multi-colored terror alert system by leaking ginned up information on plots for political gain.

What happened in Wisconsin last week wasn’t only the precision flicking of the foot so as to have the jackboot pulverize the trachea of labor once and for all. It was the war cry of the berserkers and hell hath no fury like scorned authoritarians.Walker, at least until he is indicted or the dogs called off by the waiting in the wings Romney administration is a hero to the America haters today and he digs it. He will finish off the job in the land of cheese and then hit the hustings to raise money and stump for Romney. There is no shame in the man, as Hunter S. Thompson once said of another piece of fascist garbage - “He knew he was scum, but it didn’t bother him"

Just my two cents
