This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

George Orwell said the destruction of language is a beautiful thing. CBS News says the Republican “Murder the poor so the rich can have more tax act” COULD add trillions to the deficit. That in itself is the most outrageous timid statement ever made by an American media outlet. No wonder the CBS CEO abruptly quit her job. It’s like saying the Holocaust could affect attendance at the Synagogue. It is absolutely outrageous.

The Republican plan to murder the poor so that the rich can have even more. IT WILL MOST CERTAINLY add trillions to the deficit. THAT IS THE POINT! It will add trillions to the deficit, and it will bring down the US economy. But bank robbers don’t care much about the bank’s future. Their only goal is to make your money, their money.

Republicans, Democrats and dribbling morons know what this bill will do. They just simply don’t care! Clearly, this bill will murder people as certainly as Zyklon B in Dachau, and the Republicans and Democrats don’t care. I don’t know which is worse; Republican mass murderers or weak-kneed Democrats who sit silently on the sidelines and watch it all happen. Both are equally guilty. But garsh, we voted against it!

Just think, Congress once fought on the floor of the Capitol over states rights and the coming Civil War. They came to blows over it, because they were serious about it. While American families will soon mourn their dead children and grandparents. Republicans and Democrats will sip champagne together and eat fine food you and I could never afford. Live in fine houses and not have to wait in line at the airport. They are Special and privileged, while YOU and your family are not.

The other night the Dictator held a banquet for the Kennedy Center. All of the leadership were there with the Trump Dictator and his chief of staff. They mingled and exchanged smiles and pleasantries, like it was just another day. Like a Fascist dictator hadn’t just taken over. Like they were still free people and in charge of something, when nothing could be any further from the truth. “Oh well, I still have this great job.” Oh well, millions of Americans may die unnecessarily, but I voted against it as hard as I could. How is that any different from the German Reichstag?

Their plan is to bring down the economy and rebuild it in their own Fascist image. Depressions don’t affect billionaires. Fed X, instead of a Post Office. Space X, instead of NASA. No department of education, no consumer protection, no Unions and no Medicaid and no Social Security either. A Fascist Republic. By the rich and For the rich. A Revolution going on right before your eyes! And Democrats are silent. The other day Moody’s lowered the credit rating of the United States. And Congress and Wall Street couldn’t have cared less. They see a rosy future for themselves and don’t give a tinker’s damn about you or the lives of your children.

They hide from challenging the Dictatorship. “When the forces of oppression come to maintain themselves in power against established law; peace is considered already broken.” – Che Guevara

Close your eyes and imagine the worst disaster to ever befall the United States. Imagine a brutal Nazi Dictatorship with camps, murder and an unaccountable secret police. Now, open your eyes. See? No difference. Orwell, we have arrived! Maybe, if we just close our eyes, it won’t be so bad. The murder the poor tax act, will close hospitals across the country. If you or a loved one had a heart attack you’re just that much further from help. The golden hour becomes the golden hour passed by and just one more revolution of the hands of the clock.

Because I say these things without any sugar coating, I make myself perpetually unemployed. If I would just couch my speech in nice soft terms and say, “could or might,” that would be acceptable, for now. One outlet told me I couldn’t use the word NAZI or the word Fuck. Lenny Bruce said, “If you can’t say fuck. You can’t say fuck the government.” This page is sanitized for our protection. If they allowed words like Fuck and Nazis it could affect their internet standing and ergo their ad rates. You know what I say? I say FUCK the NAZIS! Maybe I’ll die broke and alone, but that is a better fate than dying as a miserable, lowly Quisling.

I’ll say Fuck these mass murderers of the infirm. I’ll say Fuck those bastards who would starve children to buy another new Mercedes or take their family on a skiing vacation. I’ll say Fuck those bastards who would destroy America to satisfy their own greed. Fuck those lowly sons of bitches who shrink from their oaths to protect us. Whether they wear Judicial robes, Congressional pins or military insignia. If they aren’t going to do their jobs when the crisis comes, eat shit and die. Their mothers should be ashamed of their wombs to have given birth to such lowly miserable children as this.

The phony courts said the Dictator can revoke temporary protected status of Venezuelans. Why? Because Fascist regimes need villains, real or imagined. They are the Jews in this modern take on this ersatz Third Reich of ours.  Their destruction is only a distraction for blood thirsty and feeble minded. See? The Fuhrer is solving the Venezuelan question.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.  —Martin Niemöller

Don’t kid yourself, it is not going away without making it go away. To do nothing is to tacitly allow and agree with mass murder and the rape of our American ideals and founding principles. Many have pondered the question, “What would I have done if I had been in NAZI Germany?” Well, we are about to find out. I’ve said it before, someday history will record the world’s most despicable and depraved dictators as follows. Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Trump. Depending of course on if some days will still exist.

“And that — that brings me to the second mode of civil disobedience. There’s a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart that you can’t take part! You can’t even passively take part! And you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus — and you’ve got to make it stop! And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it — that unless you’re free the machine will be prevented from working at all!!” – Mario Savio
