This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

In December of 1941, Britain lost two battleships to Japanese air attack in a single day. The war was going badly, and Parliament was in the mood to hold investigations and start cashiering people for their mistakes. Churchill went before Parliament and threw himself on the sword. If there weren’t enough tanks and planes or aircover, it was his fault, not the military.

It wasn’t that Churchill was trying to cover up incompetence but trying to save the military. If every junior officer feared investigation before giving an order. The military was doomed. People would cover their ass rather than do what they assumed was correct. With the torpedoes coming, I’ll call to get approval before turning the ship.

Joe Stalin famously said, “You are loyal comrade but are you loyal enough?” Stalin then proceeded to purge the military of all those highly trained and skilled officers whose political allegiance was possibly questionable. Replaced with politically trustworthy but militarily unskilled officers. It worked out well until Russia found itself invaded. A few of those independent thinkers might have saved a lot of lives.

The slum King’s secret police are preparing dossiers on past and current military officers for investigations into the retreat from Afghanistan. Charges including treason are on the table, but it has nothing to do with Afghanistan really. This is about trying to cow the military into silence. “We are holding private star chamber investigations into disloyalty and your name came up in conversation, comrade.”

But I was never in Afghanistan! “Exactly! And we lost! How do you feel about tropical breezes and a small cell in Cuba? Perhaps you would like to cooperate? You’ll never make full Colonel by going around making people angry. Let me explain, talking to the press is career ending. Leaking is a crime punishable by whatever we can get away with. The slum King is making a list and checking it twice. Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice!”

The slum King has the executive branch in his back pocket. The cowardly Congress are just so many chickens in a barnyard. The complicit corporate Court will sleep on deeply seeing nothing. Only the US military stands in the way of his complete control. So, we will make it clear to them. If you value your career and your freedom. SHUT UP! You didn’t see nothing see?

When the King sends the 82^nd Airborne out to round up the illegals he wants no back talk. Word is, from the King’s committee on racial oppression is the use of the word “Camp’s” is to be discouraged. The King wants to deport them using “Travel Plazas” or some other euphemism, only don’t say camps anymore. Only strong and courageous leaders of an independent military could say “No.” When Black Bart is trying to head them off at the pass.

It appears Catholic Bishops among others are suffering from buyers’ remorse. Warning the King, you’re not deporting our parishioners! Oh, hell no! They put money in our plate every week from their meager wages. We will defend them; their meager wages mean a lot to us. How quickly the Bishops have lost their moral enthusiasm for the King, when their bottom line is in danger. The King has no fear of the Catholic Church. Put a few Bishops in travel plazas and they’ll fall right into line.

The King chose Matt Gaetz to be his Attorney General for a very specific reason. This is payback, and an abject lesson, watch closely. Mr. Gaetz is despised by most of the House of Representatives. Not just by Democrats, but by Republicans and Independents as well. He’s a troublemaking putz. He’s Percy Wetmore from the “The Green Mile.” So, by the slum King choosing Gaetz is the King’s way of saying, “eat it raw! You’ll take it and you’ll like it!” I offered the job to Satan first, but he said “no!” I’ll pick any red nosed dumb assed, shit for brains Congressman I want, and you’ll like it! Just bob your head and say, “yes sir.”

It’s obvious after the King had trouble with Anthony Fauci the King would pick someone as a reasonable facsimile of a giant hand flipping us all the bird. The future Secretary of Health and Human Services is a vaccine denier who lives in a van down by the river.

The message is clear: the King prepares to clear the decks. He’s in a fighting mood and want to set things straight right off. I’m in charge and you will do as your told and shut up. The King picks children and neophytes to be his communication director and spokesman. Why? Obviously, because they don’t intend on talking very much to the press or the public. You could give that job to just about anybody. “I have here a statement and I won’t be taking any questions.”

The message couldn’t be any clearer. You won’t need a decoder ring. The King will do whatever he likes, and he is daring you and me to try and stop him.

“Let us not forget that violence does not and cannot exist by itself; it is invariably intertwined with the lie. They are linked in the most intimate, most organic and profound fashion: violence cannot conceal itself behind anything except lies and lies have nothing to maintain them save violence. Anyone who has once proclaimed violence as his method must inexorably choose the lie as his principle.”
