When Will The American Public Find The Courage To Take Our Country Back?

From the "Red Scares" of the Cold War Era to the "Green Scares" post-9/11, fear has been the most potent tool in the hands of the anti-democratic Corporatocracy that rules this craven nation.

The Smear Campaign Against 1/5th Of The World's Population Continues Apace

FBI Director Comey admits that the alleged perps of the San Bernadino homicides made no social media posts supporting IS.

Surprised? If so, you haven't been paying attention. This tactic has become standard operating procedure in the White Supremacist Police State. "Leak" scapegoating falsehoods to the media while you have everyone's attention and then, later, when interest wanes, issue a correction or disclaimer. The damage is done. If you are ever confronted with evidence to the contrary, pull a Ronnie Reagan "Mistakes were made" mea culpa with no consequences attached.

We will never really know what went down in San Bernadino because, conveniently, the alleged attackers were killed by the police--unlike, say, Planned Parenthood shooter Robert Dear (angry white Christian male). Once dead, they are unable to defend themselves and they and, indeed, their co-religionists the world over, can be defamed at will.

Is this a great country or what?

The "T" Is Silent

I really wish people in the media would learn how to pronounce the Donald's last name correctly. It should be obvious to everyone by now that the "T" is silent.

The Donald

White America's "trump card."

One sentence in this Op/Ed requires editing (as follows): "On the one hand, Trump’s rise represents [delete: the best of] American democracy, which allows any [add: very wealthy and/or politically connected] person to run for public office and permits all views [add: deemed acceptable by the ruling elite] to be aired in the court of public opinion." Full disclosure is always best.

Angry White Men

Gun culture and mass shootings are expressions of the deep insecurities that afflict middle class white males who see their historic socio-economic and cultural privileges slipping from their grasp. But it is the massive transfer of wealth from the middle class to a much smaller privileged few that is actually disenfranchising the Angry White Man. Ironically, that massive transfer of wealth has been engineered by the political elites (Republican and Democrat alike) for whom the American middle class has voted in election after election since at least the 1970s.

Though middle class white males have no one to blame but themselves for their present predicament, some choose to vent their anger and frustration through acts of violence against the poor and people of color, or against the various smoke-screen diversions (like Planned Parenthood) upon which the elites (who are actually robbing them blind) have consistently laid the blame. Or even against random targets--for pulling the trigger delivers a sense of pleasurable control that they cannot find in their homes, their jobs, their churches, or the political process.

The situation is as pathetic as it is dire.

The Runaway Train Called America

Dear Fellow Subjects of the Empire:

Ask yourselves: What is going on in these United States?

IN THE PAST TWO DECADES, MASS SHOOTINGS HAVE BECOME A REGULAR FACT OF LIFE IN THIS COUNTRY.

College campuses, high schools, elementary schools, movie theaters, shopping malls, churches, and office buildings have all been sites of gun and bomb-related tragedies.

As you are no doubt aware, in the past couple of months, the city of Colorado Springs alone has had three active shooter cases.

And you are worried about ISIS?

You should be angry that your government created the conditions in the Middle East that led to the emergence of a criminal organization like ISIS.

YOU SHOULD BE OUTRAGED THAT THE ARCHITECTS OF THOSE CONDITIONS (BUSH, RICE, CHENEY, RUMSFELD, ET AL.) OPERATED IN YOUR NAME AND MANY OF THEM HAVE PROFITED HANDSOMELY FROM THEIR ACTIVITIES AND NONE OF THEM--NOT ONE--HAS BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE IN A COURT OF LAW OR EVEN THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION FOR THEIR NEFARIOUS DEEDS.

Meanwhile, the runaway train called America continues to barrel down the tracks towards oblivion...

Now, I know for a fact that many of you believe in a god, or claim to.

What kind of a god are we talking about here?

A god of war, a god of lies, a god of mass murder and mayhem for profit?

Let me ask you something with all due respect: Have you completely lost your minds?


Or have you so stupefied yourselves on drugs and alcohol, on ice cream and bacon-fat, on fried bread and virtual reality war games to the point where you don't know which end is up anymore?

Perhaps that is why you go on "pro-life" shooting sprees. Of course, it doesn't really matter how you attempt to justify your actions. All that really matters is that, with a gun, you can exercise real power over others. Because you know that, when you pull the trigger, something real is finally going to happen for you.

Disneyanity, the American religion of self-delusion, is, at bottom, pure nihilism...

Nothing but fairy dust...
