It seems like it took forever. Finally laying to rest the notion I…

It seems like it took forever. Finally laying to rest the notion I had something to do to the conversation. I couldn't imagine the final chapter, the one where everybody died or only the bad ones, glorifying good over and over again.

This is the story of how that happened.

It was 2025.

My life seemed over enough to be able to translate it into some sort of meaning.

The hostages were being released, thus finally giving clarity to evil.

I never believed in evil until now, I mean not overnight but like it being captured in a cage I could understand. I did want to see the horrors gone, for them who suffered them, certainly not for me, where they resided inside like a bullet laced with yellow phosphorus that just kept boring through flesh and bone but would never leave.

That's when I started asking everyone, I knew who had lived, is it worth it?

If god is judge jury executioner, i can accept that, there's nothing i can do about it except it, wait my turn but why do i have to listen to the charlatans who say, we have to listen to what they say first.

Life is simple. We all die so live life to the fullest good and ignore what these usurpers say is important.

You dont need a fast car, nor a three thousand sq ft house to sleep and shit in, unless you have ten kids and living the 1950's life of Cold War dreams nor more furniture you dont use, nor fast food nor conveniences nor guns nor even so much pride.

You just need to feed your head healthy knowledge, feed your soul with whatever peace and quiet you can drill for and your body with what it comes from and with and teach your children about life the way it really can be without ambition and a greed driven personality embedded like an alien computer chip.

Since no one can really tell the future, and if they could, it would so ridiculous anyway, if they were really honest, I thought it would be interesting to write a history of the world, so I did-Dinosar City, A History of the World. I wanted to add -Past, Present, and Future

Dinosar City trivializes all the social upheaval of yesterday, the meaninglessness of today, whenever today showed up, even though there is only NOW in my world's view.

Long ago as well as today, that's what makes it relevant, as well as good entertainment. Writers must be dangerous, dangerous and funny. And the future is what makes everything funny.

It's become almost cliche comparing the 2025 plan to the surrealism of Orwell's 1984.

Doublespeak

It's true, we don't have all that dark bleakness of the black and white movie version which doesn't speak to nor relate to the real colors of the modern real life fascist version. We can laugh at the antics of the monkey men who believe they control everything and still look out to the blue gray sky, where a few pink cirrus clouds in the early morn are gathering and not too far away the news blares inside my mind with the question, Can Trump get the Nobel peace prize in a couple of days for doing absolutely nothing for peace in the wars that mean something? I certainly believe he cannot and doesn't and move on to the next ludicrousity like a toboggan ride down the face of mt Rushmore. Ironically though, the so-called peace prize, like he usually does, went to a woman opposition leader in Venezuela, who wants Trump, who she admires, to go to war against her countrymen, to topple the one she calls dictator, so she herself can have power and nominate Trump again next year.

Screenwriters can't make this up.

Apparently though, Russell Vought can, he says he writes most of the executive orders because as anyone should know, Trump has never taken a moment to think about anything except himself.

Until Vietnam.

Vietnam became the elephant in the room in more ways than one in the sixties. People lost faith in the government to control the country and the vultures started circling then, and have been circling since.

It all started long ago when humans created a supreme being out of their fearful imagination and at some point realized that someone, such as themselves were needed to take responsibility for that creation because there were some things that the creature they created was either reluctant to do or unwilling to do, all the things the creators wanted them to do or, more likely, was incapable of doing whatever the creators wanted him to do, after all the creature was just a made up thing.

So along came Jones. Many kinds of joneses, like gunfighters, in any soon to be ghost town, they came around looking to be god's handyman or looking for any gods they could test 'em out, take em out, or replace em out. They had one thing in common, they all believed the imaginative god made by them, a self-appointed instrument of HIS wishes.

There were so many of them, it is hard not to accidentally bump into one, and sooner or later, people die and since gods are immune to lawsuits or civil repercussions, or justice by human hands, the people bowed and supplicated themselves, without realizing the creators of all that nonsense were flesh and blood, like themselves. When 200 million cannot agree on whether or not the institutions they have gathered around themselves, held on to, repeatedly lofted to the highest standards, and who have elected someone, they think will give them the freedom to make an extra buck or kick some ass like a can down the street, then something has gone really wrong.

To imagine that many in the south are still reminiscing about the civil war, loving the idea of slavery, not because they necessarily think it's a good economic model but because they get a thrill of believing someone is less than them, that is a nation of lazy, remorseless, sociopathic wild dogs rather than a coherent idealistic society based on founding principles of not only equality, justice, and democracy, but on principles of guaranteed equal freedom for all, equal justice for all, and democracy for all.

Of course, the problem is not everyone agrees what "for all" means because some insist some of us are either 4/5ths of a person, or part terrorist because we disagree with them, or, especially, some are not gods chosen people. How they know any of that is anybody's guess.

Nevertheless, now we are forced to take take back the power we lost but not stop there, we must not ever turn our backs on our freedom again, especially for the mundanity of profit, god, and fear.

It's hard to tell these days what people believe or, worse, why they believe what they believe. If you start with the most commonplace issue people might have, such as homelessness or inflation and move through the spectrum to international issues, such as internecine warfare and genocides, every person seems to have a lot of opinions but with little knowledge. Our governments, both local and federal are so complicated and corrupted around the use of monies and influence, it's a wonder anything at all gets done, which usually doesn't.

Money influences everything, mostly in a negative way. Yes, in today's world, governments must have money, contractors must be promised money, businesses must be at least profitable to keep the owners heads above water, families have to pay bills, and federal expenditures are, of course, necessary to maintain annual budgets. Simple enough. Everybody needs money, so who gets to decide where everybody's money goes or what it buys?

The feds just lowered the rate after months of presidential haggling and federal hemming and hawing about inflation, unemployment, trade deals, future issues. Why do we even care.? Or why not care? Because it doesn't have the slightest thing to do with us. All this sleight of hand by the president and his cohorts is merely designed to control all the elements of both our working and personal lives.

When it comes to money there's no freedom of speech and there's no 2nd amendment.

All the opinions, rants, eloquence of our language doesn't measure up to the fact we care about the things we don't have any control over, or, at least, don't think we have control over. It's "taxation without representation." I thought that's what America fought for back there in 1776.

People are now talking about, just like in the fifties, what's going to happen when the shit hits the fan, The right is ranting, the left is ranting. In between is the mass of humanity, blindfolded, heading to the cliff.

Conservatives recently passed another tax bill that inherently raises taxes for most people, except wealthy people, who traditionally haven't paid their fair share since the Reagan era. Nevertheless, whenever democrats get power, they attempt to get more money from the wealthy but do they, no, so they raise taxes on the unwealthy. Why can't they just lower back down the conservatives put on everybody?

It keeps going up and never down.

Why not? Because bringing in less money brings austerity measures and austerity is considered not a good thing because services and social benefits rather than big budget items, like defense, are what's cut.

If defense, homeland security, and war making expenses are not ever going to be cut, then higher taxes, less social services or benefits, higher interest rates, inflation to the basic consumer are going to reflect that.

Rather than so many opinions, we have to get real. If we're waiting around for equality and justice to be taken up by our gods and presidents, we have to stop waiting for our democratic principles to be taken up by our judicial oracles, stop waiting for our justice to come from the heavens, after we're penniless dead.

The individual, the society, and violence

Individuals have opinions. Society, which is composed of many individuals with many different opinions, has responsibilities to itself to maintain a certain level of safety, well being, organization, consistency (stability). In a free society, individuals should and should be able to express their opinions without punishment, isolation, or retribution. When society is threatened, either from within or without, to such an extent that the institutions established to maintain order, to maintain that certain level of safety, security, themselves turn to violence, then both revolutionary violence and fascistic violence occurs. Revolutionary violence is that violence which becomes necessary to defend the general idealistic principles by the people who are resisting the fascistic violence, which is destabilizing the society. Fascistic violence is that violence and rhetoric which divides, compromises any establishment of order and stability. Opinions do not initiate any of this violence, even though opinions can be lies, inaccurate, or truthful, none of which have anything to do with the destructive influences actively committing violence rather than just talking about it.

Violence itself is composed of, not just physical violence, but also property, enforcement, and what I call esoteric violence, like threats, bullying, and displays of threatened power.

To say there is never a reason for revolutionary violence is to deny historical facts in which resistance of all types, including violence, are the only solutions that overcome violence perpetuated by the powerful, by either government or fiefdom, by gangster or vigilante. Passivism is not a defense against fascistic violence because in a world of little justice, there is never recompense for fascistic violence.

I say this with the understanding that Christian faith in gods' mercy and life after death is at the heart of every liberal's reaction to the types of violence we've witnessed lately, and many of us have witnessed for three quarters of a century.

Let me say something about what I believe is revolutionary violence, acceptable. Justice for those who are responsible for crimes against humanity is violence to those who commit crimes against humanity. Equality is violence toward those who do not want equality. If the society was just, if the society was equal, we would not be here today. Outside of the wars we love to hate, in America, all those who did not bring the banks, the wealthy, the corrupt, the treason to justice are themselves as responsible for where we are now. To recommend justice and equality will bring violence down on those responsible. Is vengeance always violence or is it justice?

Why shouldn't we not just ask, but demand, our government do what it's supposed to do? It would be simple wouldn't it?

Just vote the fuckers away. This is where all those individuals with opinions come in, every one got one. Does society want Obama put into prison because they think a black man shouldn't have been president and ruined the country? Of course not. But did it want Obama to basically excuse the mortgage companies for their greed and treat mortgages as too big to fail? Of course not. Here's another.

Did society really want, after learning that the government lied about the reasons to go to war with Iraq, want the liars and treasonous politicians, including the president to go unpunished, much less, ignored?

So let's go to the present where a completely dishonest man, a rapist, an ignoramus about the world except for the golden rooms he lives in, becomes, through the so called democratic process, an American president, completely, with congresses permission, destroys any semblance to the real democratic process contained in the constitution, that even with its faults makes more sense than listening and believing and allowing a complete totalitarian egomaniac to run and ruin the society even further than it has been in recent times. Yes. If we aren't going to commit esoteric violence by demanding and resisting this tyranny, then, though unwanted, I would rather have another kind of chaos than the type we have now.

It’s not that we disagree, it’s what we want done about it. Let’s…

It's not that we disagree, it's what we want done about it. Let's take the example of an anti abortionist feminist and a freedom of choice feminist. What's the difference?

An anti-abortion feminist (one who believes in gender, after all aren't we all created equal in gods' eyes? (An equality of spirit at least). Maybe not, but why not? Those who believe we are god's creation, and i suppose those who want to believe we are gods creation yet continue to divide up what they mean by it so it will fit into their individual belief that we are god's creation. For example, the critical question of most agnostics and atheists or non-believers is, why is the life abroad or next door, somehow different, hanged in the tree or bombed in their home or forced to give up their life, different than the fetus in the womb? Innocence is the difference, the anti abortionist might say in their defense. But isn't innocence contained in the children of the hanged, the murdered, the bombed, the forsaken by war?

Religions have histories, don't they? Why else would those monks, priests, scholars, rabbis make sure their faith is set, sometimes literally, in stone and language. Where did some get the idea that we are all equal in gods eyes then reverse themselves with in order to be saved, one must be baptized, thus setting off down the excuse road for genocide?

At some point in religious history, humanity was divided up into believers and non-believers, and non-believers became the punching bag for what really ails us humans, a universal absurdity, once you define good and bad based on something as unexceptional as a universal human trait, such as skin, culture, tradition, class, or even another belief, you've taken the road whereby your faith, trust in your own belief and faith or hope, is completely baseless.

It's just another irreconcilable jumble of self-centered hocus pocus.

The divisions created by religious intolerance were later transferred to the secular with the intention of god and country being allies. For the passivity of god's cry for vengeance seems to slow for the impatient believer, kind of like climate change. Believers like action when it comes to sin, crime and punishment. Time is not quick enough, so an entire elaborate and somewhat diabolical system of sin and punishments was created.

But guess what? Once religion went down that rabbit hole, (the age of discovery Columbus sailed the ocean blue) began to realize the world was filled with non-believers, pantheists, and colors which, according to the swiftly theorizing religious and monarchical new diviners of sin and punishment, needed to be brought, by whatever means necessary, into gods domain.

How was this done? By force, mainly. How else do you communicate to someone that they need to bend their knee to your god you have made up for your convenience in order to suit your greed and need for sacrifice? Isn't it better to sacrifice the innocent in order for others to be saved? Make them kneel, show them the gold, show them the musket, make them, through your crazy pantomime, where is the rest of it? the conqueror asks to the kneeling supplicant.

 What kind of consciousness? Non language, dreamworld type of consciousness, consciousness rooted in evolution or possibly creation. The fact that because something doesn't have language, it still exists. I can accept that as a condition of mercy to the unborn. I think very few women aren't affected by an abortion. Life for women is far more personal than for men.

Giving the antiabortionist feminist credit is easy. Yet, their premise of a "living" fetus, goes further, becoming controlling because what difference does it make whether or not you, as an antiabortionist feminist, have a child and another has an abortion. If there are no societal penalties for either one choice or another, there is still equilibrium and only disagreement.

But, if you are an anti-abortionist because you believe that Life (human) is god's gift and it is a sin and your government should be the protector of that life in legal terms, then you have simply turned profundity to mundanity, 

Men have created through time many authoritarian systems. A few women have taken the opportunity to use these authoritarian systems to assume power and themselves maintaining power through authoritarianism. BUT, rarely, few women have invented an authoritarianism on their own, only what has been bequeathed from established paternal, patriarchal society.

Let me just say right out and I don't mean to be patronizing but I firmly believe in the equality of men and women, so, since I'm not a type of historian interested in the minutia of historical idiosyncroncies, that is where one can find some exception to the rule.

It looks like to me, men have controlled the religions, the nations, and, it's also certainly true that women, where possible have had a natural influence over communities where authority by men has little importance. Let men have their rituals and dances, women their connection to a lifestream is kept intact and uninfluenced by all the masculine authority always trying to be in control, present time being a good example.

Okay, I read the twenty point peace plan produced by the trump screen…

Okay, I read the twenty point peace plan produced by the trump screen writers. Despite its origins, I recognized some truths in it that set examples of why it should happen but will ultimately be a disaster and why if it doesn't, it will also be a disaster.

First of all, there are truths exposed. It seems that prior to Oct 7th, 2023, Hamas was taking the stance of defending their Palestinian heritage from further military encroachment by Israel, which had been taking place since the Mandate. On Oct 7th, the waters were clearly muddied by the absence of what really happened, by both the invaders and the always prepared Israeli propaganda response. Meanwhile, Hamas retreated back to its tunnels and a defensive posture, making the attack seem as if it was merely an exercise in military strategy with no real significant purpose in furthering Palestinian prospects for statehood, if there is even such a thing. It only enraged the Zionists full time desire to complete their greater Israel plan, which they are nearly completing that project now.

Hamas is defeated as an organization, both militarily and diplomatically, while Israel has overreached the point of no return in its genocidal/ ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

If there is one thing the American left and progressive thinkers have too much of in this era we've entered into, is a belief in persevering hope for the hopeless, or helpless. 

Before I go too much further, I want to say that America is not great, and in my historical analysis, has never been great, so don't think I'm thinking we will be great again. But I also think, democracy and its ideals, have never been great either. To this day, communists on the left, have believed in a fantasy of socialistic governance, simply because the writers of the communist script, and the actors who initiated it, are believed to be the progenitors of the great social/communistic future. The rest of the left is scattered amongst all the imaginable supporters of makeover politics, make America more socialistic than it is, recognizing there are certain elements of socialism currently embedded, the obvious one being social security. Also, on the liberal side of the left are those, who most of the time control the mediocre view that if there's going to be any change, it'll be slow and ultimately, reversible, if the people are willing.

All this has brought us to this moment, America on the verge, or the edge, of making the world Right again.

Here's some facts.

Whatever it was about the civil war yesterday, there is still some nostalgia about that time today, all though no one really understands, or can understand, what it is about it that needs to be relived.

That also applies to the revolutionary cause around which colonial threw off the imperial.

What about communism? It got off to a big start with promises of worker-controlled living over wealth-controlled work and living. But like America, which is hardly what the idealists of the past wanted it to be, neither Russia nor china and other socialist style nations represent the equality of a worker run state. The same applies to many of the countries, such as Cuba, that had relatively successful revolutions but have since become so internally strict to hold whatever remnants of the revolution together. Is it the failure of the ideals, whether it be America, England, Russia or Cuba, as examples, that the ideals fail, or maybe, even rise, then fall? I'll get to that in a minute.

Fascists, by their very nature, want to rule by military force or the threat of force. It's in their nature. And they are right to believe that force is a better way to rule because fear is the ideal upon which they live.

Idealists who believe that organization, reason, and the natural tendencies of cooperation, collaboration, and connectiveness, are by their very nature, pacifists.

The world is overpopulated. Most people live in nations that have little to do with their survival. Idealism, democracy, capitalism, socialism have little to do with the survival economies of the third world. Yet, every political system says they have those people in mind when they promote their own worthless ideals.

While fascists promote and use fear, another aspect of fascism is an international regulated, controlled monetary system which is used to make sure some nations get credit and most nations get undeveloped by sanction or obsolescence.

Even Russian, Chinese, western oligarchs use the international money system by the ownership in stock or capital investments. All these systems contribute to the strangulation of any progressive or even democratic ideals. We're beyond the pale.

We're living in a rigid, worldwide system of monetary values determined by the international I.e. worldwide competition by oligarchs and political leaders who have the militaries to back up these oligarchs, who themselves are contained by national ideological premises that don't really exist. A Russian oligarch is different than an American one in one way only, the political system of their home nation. In reality, wealth frees them somewhat from the structure in as much as the range of their wealth.

One message to anyone who believes they have something to offer is "practice what you preach," which, actually when I think about it, is a good way to understand what fascists and other so-called influencers are doing, by watching what these preachers are practicing?

There are no communes nor cooperatives functioning without a majority utilizing compromising capitalist involvement. In some ways, tech companies have experimented with "communal type working/living environments" which is a necessary component in transitioning the standard suffocating capitalist ideal of each according to their wants and desires. A little (or big) space, isolated from the people across the wall or yard or community seems to be what the middle class considers a perfect example of individual desire over social cohesiveness, which, also, has been delineated as the ideal of socialism, We all may want socialism but want to share it with privatized, profit oriented capital in control. 

Green energy is probably just as detrimental to the earthen environment as oil and gas. I say this because the real problem is not what resources produce the most carbon dioxide or plastic and lithium poisoning but relying on consumer based, profit oriented appetites of the voracious public can never solve our continuous roller coaster problems.

We have a system, or systems, of transportation that are reliant on a heavy use of detrimental resources as well, as vulnerable to disintegration, decay, and constant maintenance. After all, we do live on a planet where things rust, flood, burn, and where any change has a good chance of hurting something else.

And lastly, us human beings are so fallible, potentially susceptible to greed, murder, and unreasonable inbred hatred's that almost make fascism seem like a natural born killer of democratic principles, which it is.

Ever since the civil war, the right, embodied in either political…

There are some people in the world who don't want change, they don't want to know how to turn off the massive amounts of bullshit produced in our culture, or in any other culture. I can understand that. But life is about a lot more things than when someone is overwhelmed by white noise and can no longer reach out for I Love Lucy, Ed Sullivan, and Lawrence Welk, like my parents did, the solution isn't to try and make everybody like you, or be like you, the only person in the world in your church with common sense.

There are only a couple of good and evils that embody civil discourse throughout modern civilizations. One, the individual vs the social order and, two, slavery/genocide.

The individual vs social order relates to nearly all our humanly representations of civil, social and criminal law. as defined by the standards of our tribe, community, political system. How we get to those standards is differentiated by what our beliefs are about how the world works. There has to be some sort of consensus or collaboration or cooperation to agree to disagree so we can get what work needs to be accomplished, done. 

Slavery/genocide, on the other hand, relates to a higher human standard for itself. Who is a part of the community, nation etc becomes an ethical question. How will people with different beliefs, religions, cultures fit into the generally accepted standard already institutionalized or agreed upon. 

The effects of racism, ethnic cleansing, levels of authoritarianism. The imbalance created by these two juggling concepts connects everyone to everything that happens within a society. Principles of equity, justice, and even charity are taught in the educational institutions and perhaps, religion, but, realistically, are not realized on the street where the mix of races, cultures, and beliefs nullify nearly all the hate coming from isolated, either by location or by lack of knowledge, and fearful people. 

People everywhere always tend toward cooperation, collaboration, rather than divisiveness.

Morality and how judgements are realized are determined more by lessons in the family, churches, and authoritarian institutions. When the unattainable lofty principles taught in a free and open forum of an educational model become undermined or understated by the precepts of morality preached by the above-mentioned authorities of government sanctioned religion or cultural demands, fascism prevails. Fascism, a word being thrown around willy nilly these days is losing its impact upon the analysis of political thought. Fascism, which simply defined, is an attempt to destroy traditional, entrenched, institutionalized, cultural, political, and economic statutes in order to destabilize processes of "democracy" which have developed out of a nations historical experience. What we don't talk about is what happens once those institutions are weakened or eradicated, those values are no longer relevant?

Theres no doubt that in the minds who create analysis and discussion, America has quickly moved from a sort of political stagnancy to a very real one-person rule. Call it dictator, monarchial, or CEO of the world. Oligarchy, another word no one can relate to.

This is different than some third world dictator or even the fascist movements of the 1930's and 40's. Why? Because this dictator, this one-person cult personality leader is wealthy. This dictatorship is managing the "business" side of America, hire and fire 'em, if they don't comply.  This business model of fascism is very different than the religio-cultural fascism of mid-twentieth fascist and military dictators. If there's one thing americans have no control over, it is their employer. America has built that firmly into the publics cultural and authoritarian bias. True dissent cannot happen because dissent is bound up in the nations management of economy, and that economical model is international in scope. Even democratic nations don't want to mess with the money side of this worldwide economy.

Ever since the civil war, the right-wing political spectrum, which is embodied in either political party here in the US, has always taken the opportunity to thwart justice, equality under the law, while the left is left with the chipping away of civil and social liberties or progressive ideals it manages to hang on to for sustenance.

Conservatism is all about money first and traditional religio-cultural traditions second. That's simple, isn't it? But making money is more about how well you survive under the circumstances of the environment you live in. It's more than a trade for value, work for food, rent, freedom. That can be quite a load of interactions as well could be a menagerie of disagreement or discussions or compromises. On the other hand, tradition is in the eyes of the beholder. Its obvious why slavery is a big draw for those who want their cake and eat it too. The people who do the work for you can be socially, culturally, religiously obliterated. Of course there is one problem, at least one. If you're the boss, your religion is based on christian love and values, your cultural values are square dancing and fiddling but your slave is an animist, singing and dancing, even under the duress you're putting on them, and music is drum, what exceptions to your religious and traditional beliefs are you going to make in order to punish, eliminate, or deny the differences, especially when you think your traditions came from your god and the slave doesn't have the same god?

Here's an idea. Since time immemorial, humans have been subjected to the whims of fickle nature. Sometimes there plenty, sometimes there's little. Moving around the world is as natural as anything can be. When agriculture came into human pre-history and later on, sometimes the crop wasn't good or there was drought, so people moved.

 They're willing to let a lot of things slide and ride in order to keep the economy going.

America is being run like an international corporation, and the money cult leaders are willing to destroy the economy if it will benefit them in the end.

It doesnt really matter whether I'm completely right or not about the specifics, but, since we're moving in that direction, reversing who the cult leader is only demonstrates how little can be done. There are two primary examples of how this one works. The CEO's took the power of budgetary control away from Congress. This gave them the power over nearly all institutional monies, including military, without any pretense to a democratic process as outlined in our constitution. Once that was done, then nearly every decision, even whether to go to war or not, is left to them, their so-called managerial experience.

That's a mouthful. Fascism always exists within a framework of any nation's political history. The counterbalance to fascism are just ideals, principles, maintained by freedoms of opinions, facts, truths. There is little tangible there, unlike a government run on the profit system. That speaks to peoples pocketbooks. Meat and potatoes. It's always been true that between fascism and total freedom is some sort of democratic ideal Each side uses the levers of truth, lie, right and wrong, however they are decided upon, to control the democratic impulse in their favor. That's why democracy itself is neither good or evil. That's why Hitler can be "elected". No one can understand in hindsight, why anyone would have wanted such an evil man. But hindsight is not necessarily seeing. Making a living, survival, independence in America has always been dependent on how much money is necessary to survive. How much freedom, how much equality can any nation AFFORD to have? Only as much as the money people decide. These particular oligarchs are so wealthy and powerful, they could share, just like america in the fifties, they could be more beneficent, as they have in the past when politicians took their role more seriosly that they made the wealthy share. But no more. They would rather turn beachfront into rubble then build something else. It doesn't matter that the property isn't their's according to rules and standards of the past because now they can say we did the work to destroy what is there, so we can do what we want.

There were plenty of people in the thirties and forties, inside and outside Germany, who realized what was happening, wrote about it, organized around it, shouted out about it. Germanys run up to war and genocide was well documented by its progenitors, such as Hitler himself, and its detractors, who despite their resistant voices or reason never took hold. History is not a monolithic stream of events and complete silence is never a reality, even among a stronger fascist government. There are always voices, and it is imperative that those oppositions survive, to live and fight another day.

In a previous piece, I defined what I believe is a fascist and a dictator…

In a previous piece, I defined what I believe is a fascist and a dictator but for my purposes today, I should define it again since t-Rex has now outlawed ANTIFA a terrorist organization, which literally has no meaning at all because there is no anti-fascist organization called ANTIFA.

Even if we define terrorist in the typical way these authorities define terrorism, which seems to be any type of attempt to change by subterfuge-violence, assassination, bombings etc, or even free speech, actions we used to refer to as "revolutionary"- revolution, meaning the attempt to overthrow an existing national political structure by any means necessary, so to speak. That was before 9/11, after that, everything is defined as terrorism, so we got the patriot act where every precaution to protect any nations status quo, whether it be democratic or dictatorial, is acceptable, with the current terroristic administration being exempt.

Right now we are winding down the path of irrelevance with the new nuances of new and old terms but it is necessary, as always, to try and find our way back to the beginning so we won't be so lost next time. Actual terrorism before 9/11 was the sole prerogative of western nation secret government institutions designed to enact terror on our enemies, such as CIA, FBI, M15, KGB, etc.

Ironically, the term revolutionary does not exist or is never used to reflect opposition to any nation state's practices. In America, even in the constitutional and moral crisis we find ourselves in, journalists and those who use social media for their free speech political tirades, still do not define what is happening as revolutionary, in either Trumps national effective fascist movement or the public's attempt at resistance to it, mainly because on the one hand, we don't want to give credence to Trumps revolution by naming it for what it is nor do we want to assume there can be a resistance movement beyond just getting back to normal, whatever that was. The renormalization of American politics, such as voting, protesting, or other legitimatized action only denies the conditions that brought us to this dance.

So far I haven't delivered on my definitions. I'm not completely alone but I believe we are in the middle of or at the start, it doesn't make much difference, a fascist revolution. I don't think it will go away when Trump goes away or even, if democrats get control of congress, or maybe even the presidency. This started a long time ago, more precisely, when wealth began to dominate politics by corruption, legal fiat, and by world wide domination through war and economics. Honestly, it was by way more of a blind rampaging elephant until a couple of decades ago when there began to be a plan, and this year there is a plan called 2025, which is a total domination over and capitulation of and by the institutional framework which America is supposed to function over. It isn't going to happen overnight ( that is, tomorrow) but given the current status, three more years is enough. The courts are in, the military is in, certainly the governmental, constitutionally democratically institutional formulated constitution itself is in, all in.

Fascism. The use of propaganda, political, judicial, economic power to redirect the principles, values, and traditions of a constitutionally provisioned government as well as national cultural biases. This can be done by so called democratic processes as it was in 1930's by fascistic elements in Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Yugoslavia, Austria, Hungary and others. Economic conditions and cultural ethnic and religious traditions in the 30s provided backdrops for public acceptance of authoritarian changes.

Similarly, the decades following 9/11 have given the western nations carte blanche to emulate the threat of the 1930s fascist nations who also believed that their fear of being run over by the victors in world war 1 justified the eventual world war 2.

It's true that today things are different. America has taken the lead mainly because it was notoriously attacked, even though Europe and the western powers, were victims of the same religio fascist elements as America, turning the struggle not to revolutions but fascistic struggles between imperial nations, such as America, against victim nations, such as in the Middle East. Americas inability to maintain order, in fact, maintaining instead, aggression and even stronger imperial policies than before 2000, sank deeper into a fascistic model of control,domination, and divisiveness at the sacrifice of its own ideals, i.e. patriot act, homeland security, military strength over more pacific practices, and the fomenting of division between parties and the public over patriotism, nationalism and terrorism.

Today we've reaped the outcome of those divisions. We are in the middle of a religio-secular holy war. No one could have guessed that we'd believe that the normal hard working midwesterner voter could be so much different than the normal hard working Californian or New Yorker. The element of fascism that adheres to racism, anti-immigrant, anti-poor beliefs and who wants to return to a new southern strategy and tragedy is a strange breed for sure. The divisions in America have become so stratified, complex, and sadly, institutionalized by statute, religion, and tradition, that it's the perfect breeding ground for misinformation, lies, myths, rumors, and outright hate. It doesn't take much to realize we are in deep trouble.

Where does that leave us, the vast majority of us, who want to believe this is temporary, a blip in the democratic process, a misunderstanding that time will heal?None of that is real.

No one is going to thwart the genocide, even if you're one who denies it. No one is going to piece the passive congress back together because nearly every congress person has been corrupted in one way or another. No one is going to reverse the judicial entrenchment of a philosophy that does not include constitutional and regulatory adjustments or compromises between the law and law enforcement. No one is going to stop the flow of weapons around the world, supporting an aggressive international horror show that a few authoritarian nations, including America, support and will never retreat from.

Lastly, in those nations, the democratic process which has been so corrupted by bribery, divisive politics, manipulation (redistricting), lies and which, though once a pride of nation ( to be called democratic) has since gone the way of the Weimar Republic. Any tyrant posing as a representative can come in, rather than letting the right one in.

So, we in America are in a fascistic revolution. If we don't admit that, we can not counter it. We cannot let it pass, we cannot wait.

I'm not going to condone violence but if I can't condone violence in order to thwart real fascistic racism, real political violence from my government, or real genocide then I certainly can't condone any of the violence perpetuated in my nations name.

It's not a discussion we all have in our heads and come to the conclusion that passive resistance is the only choice. No, there should not be passive resistance. Any individual can make some sort of sacrifice. Sacrifice isn't passive. Use the thing fascist try to take away from you. Your mind, your freedom. You don't need a sledge hammer to drive a nail into a coffin.

There are and there will be others who are already forming resistance. Join them. But be ready to be called antifa. Be ready to be denied as revolutionary. Be ready to make some sort of sacrifice. Although I never watch Jimmy Kimmel, I like the response to his pause, not subscribing to Disney or Hulu, etc. it's what we have to do. Little things. Everybody doing little things.

With spear and poisoned dart,

An elephant was killed today,

By natives on the African plain.

They danced and sang,

Jumped up and down on it,

They cut it up into pieces and

carried the pieces away.

I am antifa. I am anti-fascist.
