This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

You are going to be shocked. Shocked! I’ll tell you! Prepare yourself. It seems all immigrants aren’t created equal. Some are more equal than others. If you’re picking vegetables or cutting grass in the hot sun, you can take a hike back to wherever you came from. But if you’re good at troubleshooting programs or writing computer code, come on in. Where have you been? You know in this country people with that particular skill can earn a fine living. Almost the same amount as a room full of college students from overseas earns.

The court jester and official officer of offal Elon, says, “Ship them all back, except the ones I can exploit.” Did someone say Heinrich Himmler? But perhaps, Elon has met his Waterloo. I got such a kick out of reading this. Laura Loomer was described as a “Right Wing Influencer.” Well sure, that’s sort of a job description. Only her Right Wing influencing extends exclusively to ONE Right Winger. She’s the King’s official fluffer and she helps to get the King UP in the morning. The court mistress and sycophant to the King.

Do you see the sides forming here? Factions rising? Them and us. (Scorecards! Get your scorecards!) The good guys who are really bad guys but who are trustworthy enough to be considered good guys. (Something rotten in Denmark?) Backstabbing in the court of the large orange idiot, fighting for the crumbs off the table and fighting for influence. History tells us the gatekeeper to the King has the inside track. So don’t discount the value of penile service. The King surrounds himself with like-minded thieves, what do you suppose is going to happen? This is the honeymoon, and the problems are already beginning to show.

The King’s goily doesn’t like the King’s bestie. The fungus known as Vivek calls Elon’s Department of Redundancy Department, a vanity project. Have you met Laura? Fighting for the eyes and ears of the King. “Watch me daddy! Watch me! Give me daddy! Give me! Don’t give it to them, give it to me! Like the Third Reich, the ringleaders didn’t care about the Fuhrer or even about Germany. They were fighting for their own crooked slice of the pie.

Herman Goering in a morphine stupor or Pete Hegseth in an alcohol fueled haze. Himmler offering to sell prisoners to the Red Cross to line his pockets to fund his escape. Or Elon looking to exploit the untermunchin in his factories. Untermunchin who can’t ask for a raise and can’t join a union. They can’t complain at all or it’s “Back on the bus.” Don’t think of it as a watch tower, think of it as a security pinnacle. There for your protection. Now, get back to work before I have to protect you. “Name? “Still Joad.”

Deport all the construction workers and farm workers but leave my corporate indentured servants alone! Sure, they take jobs from Americans, but they also make me money! UCLA Berkley advised foreign students to be back in the country by January 20^th or who the fuck knows what might happen. Hell’s a poppin! No Discount coupons will be honored at this time.

Come January 20^th the opening bell is going to ring, and they will commence to tearing each other to pieces. Elon doesn’t like Vivek and Vivek doesn’t like Elon. Nikki Haley complains about Vivek, and Elon complains about RFK Jr. Meanwhile Laura keeps the King amused. Idle hands being the devils play things! Like an iceberg we only see the one-third above the ooze line. Cabinet meetings with metal detectors and security guards.

Bring back “The West Wing.” Drama! Subterfuge! Crime! One part soap opera, one part documentary! Doctor OZ promoting drugs he has financial interests in. While RFK promotes moonbeams and pomegranate therapy. If you ride a bicycle naked under a full moon while eating a pomegranate you can’t get sick. One department wants to sell faux drugs while another department says you don’t need them.

One department gears up to deport millions while another department plots to cut their workforce. Budgets will be slashed and rehashed and slashed again like sabers. Each criminal fighting for their individual share of the loot. Each worried some other mouse will encroach on their authority and steal some of their cheese. Deport his workers! I keep mine locked up in cheap hotels! Most of this is just a show for the simians and weed benders anyway. But these things can take on a life of their own when powered by greed and cruelty.

Don’t deport my workers! That’s unfair! I should be allowed to exploit agricultural workers just like he is to exploit college kids. Those tomatoes won’t put themselves in the can, you know.

The German Fuhrer would read a report saying there weren’t enough airplanes. Der Fuhrer would then issue a decree, “Build more airplanes!” Then he would read a report about a shortage of tanks. The Fuhrer would decree, “Never mind what I said last week. We need more tanks! Then more submarines and then more anti-aircraft guns.  Der Fuhrer was subject to the flattery and influence of his cabinet ministers each fighting with the others for spoils and influence. A crooked road can sometimes be made straight, not so a crooked man.

“Monsters are variations from the accepted normal to a greater or a less degree. As a child may be born without an arm, so one may be born without kindness or the potential of conscience. A man who loses his arms in an accident has a great struggle to adjust himself to the lack, but one born without arms suffers only from people who find him strange. Having never had arms, he cannot miss them. To a monster the norm must seem monstrous since everyone is normal to himself. To the inner monster it must be even more obscure since he has no visible thing to compare with others. To a criminal, honesty is foolish. You must not forget that a monster is only a variation, and that to a monster the norm is monstrous.” ― John Steinbeck
