This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

It was the most outrageous bald-faced lie I’d heard from the media since, since well, since the day before yesterday. A complete media inversion of events which would have made Dr. Goebbels proud of his young acolyte. The reporters marched out of the Pentagon, refusing to be lied and ministered to. But you and I are different somehow. Lying to us, the general public, is just business as usual.

Did you know China is trying to take over the world? According to the mainstream media, the administration and the billionaires, it’s true! Those dirty rotten Chinese are trying to take over the whole world by limiting the export of rare earth minerals! Can you believe it? The gall of those people! Where do they get off? First, they won’t buy our soybeans and now this! Those people are just looking for trouble, I guess, aren’t they?

But it got me to thinking about how we need a statement of principles and an open declaration of intent in conjunction with “No King’s.” All authoritarian, dystopic regimes and juntas always corrode and crumble, eventually. We need to be clear there will be no pardons or plea deals. We demand absolute unconditional surrender! There will be a Nuremberg and there will be a Spandau prison. There will be de-Nazification. Those responsible in the junta for issuing and those who follow illegal orders will be prosecuted without mercy.

Who started this trade war, anyway? China? Who placed the insane tariffs on Chinese products? Who told China we were going to place tariffs on cooking oil? Who punishes manufacturers for using ships built in China? It’s like punishing Domino’s Pizza for every employee driving a Toyota. But our free and oh, so fair media look dead into the camera and smile and say, “Look what China is doing to you!” China is only responding in kind to the madness of Donald Trump.

Never content and always tone deaf, the dictator moves to prop up Argentina. Let Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska, go to the devil, but we must save Argentina! Oh my, my, yes. Never mind the travails of American families trying to survive unemployed from the hacks of the dictator. Fuck Them! Let’s save Argentina. And the big orange turd warns, if you don’t vote for my guy, I’ll cut you off without one fucking red cent! I wonder what a deal like that goes for these days? Are they bulldozing a suburb of Buenos Aries to make room for the new Trump hotel and casino?  

This is Trump town, baby! Gas, grass or ass, nobody rides for free! Argentina was so grateful for the 20-billion-dollar bailout they removed their farm export tariffs and undercut American farmers…again. Now! How do you like the color of this lie? The Trump Junta proposes a ten-billion-dollar farm bailout but then, after a few days, it drifts towards 12 billion. And the amount will keep on drifting and spiraling. That ten or twelve billion figure is only a mirage to placate you and make you, the public think the problem is easily solvable and under control, when it’s not. It’s a lie for public consumption and not for the farmers.

Do you see how they message you? Don’t worry! It’s completely under control. Problem solved! I’ve got a ten-billion-dollar bailout right here in my hip pocket. “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.”

For the farmers, it amounts to a “Let them eat cake” moment. Fuck you! And the John Deere you rode in on! We can get you that bailout next year, maybe. But first, we have this new set of rules you must follow! Then tell your congressman and senator they must agree to play ball, or else. It will be too little and it will be too late. It will be too partisan but it won’t be too much.

This isn’t a government, it’s an illegal cabal, a clique. They only serve to serve themselves. What did Tom Holman do with that $50,000 anyway? Where are the Epstein files? Why won’t 86 proof Pete Hegseth show us all his white supremist tats? Give him a prison yard and a weight bench and take off his shirt and he’d fit right in with all the other skinheads. And yet, people are shocked to find out young Republicans are Nazis. Well, news flash, so are the old ones!

When Pam Blondie smarts off to congress, she smarting off to you! That’s the representative for you in the government she insults. Who the hell does she think she is? Who does skinhead Hegseth or light fingers Tom Holman think they are? They had better hope their cabal can last forever because we have prisons and we have gallows, and we have patience, and they have but one miserable life.

These Republican criminals know what they are doing. This is no accident! They planned it and they announced it beforehand. But I wonder if they ever considered the potential cost to their own life and livelihood? The fault dear Brutus was in not prosecuting Trump and his mafia criminals for January 6^th. Those in congress who let them go free are directly responsible for the events of today. By ignoring their crimes, they empowered them to try again.

They should be held criminally and mortally responsible. They didn’t start the fire, but they stopped the fire department from putting it out. Making them accessories before the fact. They have assisted in highjacking our government and attempting to destroy our democracy. The punishment must be so severe as to give pause to anyone ever thinking about it trying it again.

What was I thinking? We already have a declaration.  https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration-transcript

“You do not become a ”dissident” just because you decide one day to take up this most unusual career. You are thrown into it by your personal sense of responsibility, combined with a complex set of external circumstances. You are cast out of the existing structures and placed in a position of conflict with them. It begins as an attempt to do your work well and ends with being branded an enemy of society.”
― Vaclav Havel

There will be Nuremberg trials someday for these crimes and a Spandau prison too.
