The clocks stopped at one seventeen. There was a long shear of bright light, then a series of low concussions. By day the dead impaled on spikes along the road. I think it's October but I can't be sure. I haven't kept a calendar for five years. Each day is more gray than the one before. It is cold and growing colder as the world slowly dies. No animals have survived and all the crops are long gone. Soon all the trees in the world will fall. The roads are peopled by refugees towing carts and gangs carrying weapons, looking for fuel and food. Within a year there was fire on the ridges and deranged chanting. There has been cannibalism. Cannibalism is the great fear. Mostly I worry about food. Always food. Food and the cold and our shoes. Sometimes I tell the boy old stories of courage and justice - difficult as they are to remember. All I know is the child is my warrant and if he is not the word of God, then God never spoke. ~The Man, from Cormac McCarthy's The Road (Film Version.)...
My black face fades,
hiding inside the black granite.
I said I wouldn't
dammit: No tears.
I'm stone. I'm flesh.
My clouded reflection eyes me
like a bird of prey, the profile of night slanted against morning.
I turn this way—the stone lets me go.
I turn that way—I'm inside
the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
again, depending on the light
to make a difference.
I go down the 58,022 names,
half-expecting to find
my own in letters like smoke.
I touch the name Andrew Johnson; I see the booby trap's white flash.
Names shimmer on a woman's blouse
but when she walks away
the names stay on the wall.
Brushstrokes flash, a red bird's
wings cutting across my stare.
The sky. A plane in the sky.
A white vet's image floats
closer to me, then his pale eyes
look through mine. I'm a window.
He's lost his right arm
inside the stone. In the black mirror
a woman’s trying to erase names:
No, she's brushing a boy's hair.
~Facing It, by Yusef Komunyakaa, US Army Veteran
I saw this yesterday.
Seems like a lot of people would rather legalize or tolerate sexual abuse than hold people in Power accountable for it, and this seems to be a Bipartisan problem even if it's worse on the Republican side of things..
Sorry, but to quote Syril Karn from the Andor Star Wars series, I believe we have laws for a reason and it's only been a principle of Western law since the 13th Century that laws should also apply to rulers.
It's become a problem that America is overrun with goddamned narcissists who make ideology or politics their entire goddamned "Identity" and it's that shit right there that's gonna kill us.
Some places, it'll be the Fall of the Soviet Union, which is great if you're in a place like Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania, but not so great if you're in Azerbaijan or Turkmenistan.
Trump and MAGA have gone from making the Epstein List a centerpiece of their ideology to denying the entire thing ever existed. I'm assuming that's simply because Trump was Client #1 for this perverted bullshit. Of course, as far as MAGA is concerned, We've always been at war with East Asia, or some shit like that.
Anything but America.
Anything but "Love Thy Neighbor."
Anything to support the fleshpot lifestyles of nobilities we're by definition not supposed to have.
I couldn't do it. Hell, I wouldn't do it.
There's something wrong with These Fucking People.
Sorry, but you either believe in things or you don't.
You either have the basic self-respect to say "I won't do that"
or you don't.
To me, if it's the case that you don't have such, and your ego is so dependent on attention from others that you...a human being...would eat dog food to get the adulation of morons?? You're a lost soul and I can't help you.
More to the point, after over a decade of this bullshit I've no desire to try.
I'm sick of the hedonism and unfaithfulness (to anything and everything from belief systems to oaths to partners) of too many of these fucking people most especially those who claim the loudest to be Christians and "Conservatives" and shit like that.
You got to want to be saved.
And they don't.
Acting like nothing that you do is wrong...simply because you're the one who's doing it...strikes me as an express elevator to Hell.
It's not superiority or supremacy. These people couldn't be any less of either if they tried. That shit is just basic goddamned narcissism.
And there's too much of that shit going around.
And I'm going to warn you now, these fucking people know they're going to lose. Hell, they're destroying themselves.
Worse...I think a lot of these assholes basically know they're going to die and go to Hell.
But #1 They Do Not Care.
And #2 They WANT to see who they can drag down with them. They believe in nothing but their own narcissism and both think they're small, particularly petty gods, and think the World is going to End when they do.
And the cruelty really is the only fucking point of all this. It's nothing but goddamned Blood-sport to please the debased idiot mob and if you don't think...should these motherfuckers get a chunk of the former United States for themselves...that they would throw people into Gladiator Pits (and worse) you have another thing fucking coming.
That's what this "Alligator Alcatraz" bullshit even is.
20 years ago, American law said you couldn't treat a fucking captured Jihadi terrorist the way migrant Latino farm workers who only want a better life are fucking being treated by the Trump administration!
I want you to stop and think about that for a second.
Because the real truth is these evil insane miserable sons of bitches hate anybody who isn't an evil insane miserable son of a bitch just like them.
I couldn't do it. I
wouldn't do it.
And if we don't stop these evil, insane motherfuckers, this shit will never stop until every single person in the world has had to fight or submit, either of which gives these freaks the narcissistic fuel they're looking for.
If you fight, you may die, but at least you'll be or die free.
If you submit, you bring upon yourself an eternity of experimentation by fucking stupid evil madmen.
And that is all they want or understand.
They are going to try to say it's not the Mark Of The Beast when they do it.
Soon.
You either believe in freedom or you don't.
You either believe in the Lord's Word, in Allah Almighty, in the Creator, the God of the Infinite Universe, Fate, Jesus, some ultimate ideal of Reason, in YHWH...it doesn't matter what you call it...or you believe in Donald Trump and this blatantly, transparently false worldly system.
One of these things is simply not like the other one.
And it's going to come down to a fight.
These fucking freaks are desperate to turn this Cold civil war into a Hot one.
For no better reason than they want to murder people.
There's no middle of the road here.
You're going to have to make your choice.
Слава Україна!
Lunatic dreams create a nightmare reality for the sane. ~Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht, upon killing the mad Primus Myndo Waterly, from the Battletech Novel Lost Destiny.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
If any man have an ear, let him hear.
He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity: he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he speaks as a dragon.
And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
And he doeth great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
And deceive them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
And he caused all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. ~Revelation 13, KJV
