This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

The great Herbert George Wells called it the shape of things to come. Simple enough to figure out by adding past performance to future probabilities. Rocket bombs will be everywhere! But this is history’s version of 99 bottles of beer on the wall. It is really just a matter of time, so drink up. Bluff and bluster only goes so far. The simians cheer the tire burnout competition! Noise and smoke without ever getting anywhere.

The King declares an air catastrophe to be caused by DEI. No words of comfort yet for the grieving families. They’ve done a real good job of keeping orange King Kong in his cage so far. They’ve learned from their mistakes last time, letting him run his yap to whoever would listen. This time, filters are in place and minders. Let the mountain come to Muhammad. Ronald Reagan National Airport never should have been opened. Don’t ever fly in or out of Reagan National. Just a day or two in DC and you’ll know why. Too much traffic in too small of a space.

A C-17 military cargo plane with about 80 deportees was filmed leaving for Central America. ICE has its own fleet of passenger jets designed for the task. But chose a big military jet instead because this is all about making with the visuals! Taking a sledge hammer to an ant mound. Mach Schau! Mach Schau! See? They’ve learned how to stage manage. The King makes pronouncements to the penny stinkers from his electronic balcony. And they all just take it for granted it’s really the King’s word.  

This is to be an Administration of “Official Statements” of 500 words or less. We don’t explain, we just do. The devil knows his time is short, and his touch grows cold already. The King’s pronouncement of halting aide programs generated about 25 million phone calls from panicked Americans to Congress. It doesn’t take too many jump scares like that to change an affiliation. The Administration decided to let Congress explain it. It’s not a mistake if you don’t own up to it. The King make a mistake? Nonsense!

But this is only the beginning of the nightmare. The murky beginnings of REM sleep where the intelligent make their exit stage right. Historically, this is where Hindenburg dies, which makes the Fuehrer the new Chancellor. The King is showing us his strength for all to see. He throws lightning bolts. “You will submit or else! Or you shall feel the cold wind of my wrath upon your face!” Pax Americana baby! What is Congress doing? What did the Reichstag do? Not much, they hadn’t been told what to do yet. The King will call you if he needs you.

So, the shape of things to come would tell you there will be a world crisis coming. Military or civilian, like a fighter plane shot down or a Reichstag catching fire. Maybe another terrorist attack but the Administration needs an emotional (Animal shelter) sad event to distract the simpletons while they pick their pockets and loot their Constitution.

The King first questioned continued aid to Ukraine during the campaign but is now fully onboard. Thank goodness, though goodness had nothing to do with it. Privy to inside information the King would be crazy as hell to support his pal Vladimir now, what with so many spoils to loot. Never was it a question of right or wrong, but only a question of MINE or wrong.

But there will be a metaphorical September 1^st, 1939. It is unavoidable with unstable human nature. Casinos get rich off of it. The holy belief that you or whoever are smarter and can beat the odds forever. That you can bluster and bullshit your way into paradise. You can roll those sevens anytime you want. But a good hunter moves with stealth and not with a bull horn. Which makes you question how much of this is real and how much is just for show?

 How many “Illegals” on a C-17 do you need to see on the news before becoming too paranoid to show up for work in the morning? How many times do you need to see it? The message is Run if you know what’s good for you! There was a time like this in Germany when Jews could trade all their money and property for exit visas. A time in America, when you could get a good deal on a Japanese owned hardware or grocery store complete with fully furnished house and an automobile.

ICE has made a series of high-profile raids which prompts the question. “Gee, Mrs. Butterworth, what took you so long?” Criminals openly operating an unlicensed night club, drug supermarket and gang headquarters needed the King’s, okay to raid? Somehow, Mr. Biden didn’t want to disturb gang headquarters? “Hooray for Hollywood! Where any office boy or young mechanic can cause a panic,”

So, either technology quickly develops a way for fruits and vegetables to pick, sort and load themselves onto a truck or prices are going up. Has anyone mentioned the other end to you? After farm workers pick the crops, the crop goes to a warehouse where it is all sorted and loaded onto trucks by the same farm working people. But they soon won’t work there, not for long.

Right now, the Administration has a backlog of migrants to ship, but they will soon run short. They’ll need to keep the pipeline filled and the cameras rolling. They will have to root them out and hunt them down, one by one, if necessary and find them. (Film at Eleven!) Papers please! It seems you have an unpaid parking ticket Mr. Murphy, come along with me for further questioning. “But I’m not Hispanic! I’m a citizen!” Murphy, that’s what they all say!  

The Nazi SS started out only as Der Fuehrer’s bodyguard with about 200 people. But these things tend to take on a life of their own sometimes. Especially when being used for propaganda purposes in Authoritarian governments. Empty seats on the airplane don’t look good on the six o’clock news Renfield! You had better fill them somehow! Or I’ll find somebody who will!
