This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

I know it is frustrating. I know that I’m frustrated. The media want to dance around the issue, and I understand. They don’t want to tell you the truth because it would be bad for their ratings. Imagine if you were an astronomer on some lonely hill with a telescope. You discovered an asteroid coming which will destroy the planet in two months. Are you going to make a big scene and get everybody really upset and crying when it’s inevitable anyway? Or just let them enjoy what time they have left in peace?

Reading headline after headline of what the Slum King may do after coronation. When all of the slum King’s bully boys are out claiming pissing grounds and making enemies. What happens when you’re new in town and you start bragging and telling everyone just how it’s going to be from now on? If you guessed, become unpopular ding, ding, ding!

If you’re coming to town with an axe in your hand and going to cut people’s jobs. You are cruising for a bruising. I would like to take this moment to apologize. I had prophesied Elon Musk would be one of the most unpopular men in America in ten years. But the old boy is the master of innovation and has managed the task in two . I wouldn’t be surprised if the next Transformers movie hasn’t got Teslas as the bad guys. But it can’t be good for sales.

Maybe Elon could wear Dracula fangs and kick small children to help improve his public image. He’s only just begun, and the sales drop will be precipitous. He’s only alienating those who buy his product. And the international sales should be approaching a nice round number like zero with smiling Musk and Donald Trump hand in hand. Cyanide mixed with arsenic washed down with battery acid. The Tesla will replace the Russian Lada as the world’s most spurned automobile. The homeless will sleep in Tesla’s stripped and abandoned along the motorway.

Already, Elon is becoming a meme. A comical puppet on a string pretending to be the ringmaster at the circus when he’s only the clown. The harlequin exaggeratingly leading the band. The proverbial fool and his money. A genius who backs a candidate who wants to do away with electric vehicle tax credits. But Elon has trained the alligator to be nice! He won’t eat me! He likes me! Sure, he’s eaten lots of others but I’m his friend! He even calls me “chum.” He won’t do that to Meeee!

Being a billionaire must be challenging what with flatterers always on the make for your money. But Elon will stake his fortune and livelihood on Donald Trump. OMG! How fucking stupid could you be? That makes that kid who traded the family cow for magic beans look like a MENSA candidate.

Did you notice? Space X caught their rocket on their special arm thingy. It worked out so well; they didn’t try it again on the next flight. In a private space program, every mission is always a success. Always sticking to the policy of “we meant to do that. We were just testing how far the rocket could spin completely out of control.”

It’s not what the King will or won’t do. It is that the King is a “wrecker!” (Stalinist Soviet term for one who intentionally destroys order) The plan is to destroy as much as possible of responsible representative government while at the same time enriching themselves at every opportunity. It is no longer about Republicans and Democrats. It’s about government and it’s destruction. Shaping the new world to suit the billionaire class while shaping you to suit the billionaire class. If you don’t think government is your friend, just wait until you don’t have one.

There is no way the media can come on the air at night and tell you; Look, you’re all fucked! They don’t want to modify or improve Obama Care. The inevitable goal is its destruction, ditto: Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. Goodbye EPA, Goodbye education department, goodbye labor union. If they can’t eliminate them completely, they will hobble them and put them on the road to destruction. Just like the Post Office. Why don’t you just go pay UPS or FedEx rates? What do we need with a Post Office for anyway?

Their plan is to take you out of the equation. To make government more efficient by doing away with things like school lunches. And all the other things that make you think maybe government isn’t so bad. And to replace them with the mindset “It’s none of your business.” We don’t keep statistics on hungry children anymore. You’re only 72, get a job!

Here’s the problem, but it is a good problem, sort of. The King and his minions have drawn a line in the sand. The King is on one side and all of Washington is on the other. Elon Musk is the National Director of perpetual powerless gum flapping and bureau of pointless threats. Congress decides where the money goes! Not some moron who doesn’t have enough good sense to stay away from Donald Trump.

The King may have anything he wishes. Only he must ask for it nicely and play the game according to Hoyle. The Congress will give most of what the King wants, but what they won’t do is give up their own power and make themselves unnecessary like the Supreme Court did. We can expect a battle royal for the next four years as the King tries to become Fuhrer and Congress tries to save themselves.

When Der Fuhrer seized control in Germany, he had the Socialist and Communist Parties declared illegal. This gave the Fuhrer full control of the legislature, so that he didn’t need the legislature anymore. There was no longer anyone left to say no to him. The one-party state.

“No class or group or party in Germany could escape its share of responsibility for the abandonment of the democratic Republic and the advent of Adolf Hitler. The cardinal error of the Germans who opposed Nazism was their failure to unite against it.”
― William L. Shirer

And who wants to go on TV and say that?

Authors note; I really think the Wright Brothers were amazing. A case of simple intelligence mastering a problem which had dogged humanity for all time. Or the Beatles, if you changed any one member, you’d have nothing. Pure magic and it would be fun to write about such things, but irresponsible. Wake up now or sleep forever.
