If there’s one thing I know about fascism, I’m willing to say it’s…

If there's one thing I know about fascism, I'm willing to say it's really very mundane to anyone not caught in its web of deceit, grandiosity of morbidity. Most people, under any circumstances, can cower beneath the rubble of a failing society. It didn't take much intelligence for me or anyone else back in my youthful days to foretell the future.

There was Cuba, Vietnam, and the Middle East. There was Nicaragua, Angola, Algiers, Soviet Union, Formosa, North Korea. After fifty years or more, there's the Middle East, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico, immigrants, NATO, Turkey, china, Greenland, Ukraine, Iraq, Afghanistan, mini and many wars of vengeance, wars of democracy, wars of choice, wars of self-defense.

American logic has become so adverse to truth that even high minded progressive and anti- governmental mental types don't know they're contributing to their own critique of their own ideas. For example, a recent well written substack essay of this current war with Iran, the logic thrown into the middle of a long breakdown of how the us and Israel have for decades masterminded confusion and fighting and propaganda, the writer succumbed to the typical apology that she was basically no friend of Iran because they just recently massacred thousands of protestors, but everything she had said up to that point would be worthy of more of the death threats within her own country, so I'm wondering to what advantage is itto mention the exception to the rule just for the sake of some "fairness". It could be boiled down, I guess, that in the end we progressives will swallow the pill, "No matter how the war goes, no matter how brutal we are to another nation of brutal leaders, we will rest on, "least we got rid of the senior ayatollah, eh?"

A few years ago I contributed a small amount of money to amnesty international. Since then I get constant donation requests from them, telling me what a big and great job they're doing and what they need for that goal. They aren't the only ones. Campaign contribution requests, substack, media, subscriptions, even Cuba, which I've visited several times ( just one of supposed dictatorships where I saw no more dictatorial social measures than what I see or hear about in this ill natured sociopathic led country I was born and raised in).

Back to amnesty international. One day I realized that they promote American and western jurisprudence as superior to anywhere else simply, I presume, because that's where the money is. It's the same with the United Nations, many other charitable and support for equality and justice promoting organizations. It's all because Americans are the most guilty and gullible of any people in the world. America is the most incarcerated system in the world, yet amnesty has the balls to point their finger at the main American targeted nations, such as Cuba, Russia, Venezuela, Mexico. Of course, Americans (and amnesty) believe that everyone thrown into jail or the improvised detention centers ( whether it be in Manzanar, Guantanamo, black sites, alligator Alcatraz, and the dozens of immigration facilities popping up like, well, poppies) are all necessary incarcerations. If they didn't think that, they'd never get any money, so they point at other nations, which, mind you, are doing the same thing as America. It's all the same. Every nation has crime, prisoners of conscience and no nation is better or worse than another. Just don't go blowing Americas horn. Right now the ICC has Netanyahu, Putin, Maduro, and many others ( though not enough) but not Trump, Hegseth on their list of war criminals. Why not Trump? Why not Trump on the list of fascist dictators right here in America? It's unbelievable that we will never see Trump come to justice. Sure, we may see him leave office but when he does, he'll leave holding his bag of riches, like Santa Claus in reverse, or like Robin Hood, rob the poor, give to himself.

And, like pro Israeli, maga, any anyone else who dances in the street when the ayatollahs, the duly elected (until proven otherwise) representatives such as maduro, Kennedy, Allende, etc are removed or murdered, and even the targeted popular figures like MLK, Crazy Horse, Malcolm, Che, etc, I, myself, will celebrate when my idiot and fascist president meets his maker.

The truth of the matter is America has already fallen, the question remains who or what is going to be fallen on, toppled with it.

I'm going to say what few others will say. If the world's public didn't react to Gaza, it will not react to a total destruction of Iran, not even if the end is use of a nuclear weapon, which at this stage, looks like a possibility. We, meaning the supposed world conscious public, are not thinking of replacing any of this ragged system from which these disasters are born.

All the political manchinations stemming from our failed constitution to thwart the emergence of a powerful leader or party becoming fascist have been destroyed. Plus, these same Age of Reason principles, developed after the last world war stand as insignificant on the world stage as a dormouse.

America has always imagined itself as the Lone Ranger, Superman, or God, rugged individualism, and all that, while the rest of the so called "free" world imagines itself like a child protected from the rain by big mamas umbrella, its Star Wars without the stars, space although it is science fiction. Don't forget it's pretty sterile out there amongst the mentality of billionaires, who are simply managing their money. I'm so glad the stock market is holding up fairly well and oil so far is what they might call "tolerable". It'll be worth it as long as we can come up from the bomb shelters of our own minds, and think about the future. Oh, sure.

And here's what the future holds. Israel, Saudi Arabia, Russia, china, North Korea, Mexico, Greenland, Antarctica, small, irritating wars everywhere, drugs (our own addictions), intolerance, religious persecution, revenge.

Welcome.

It's hard for these reasonable people to believe that we're all locked in, locked out here, along with the birds and beasts of burden.

I've often said America was never great so it can't or won't be great again and there are others who say similar things but in the middle of this logic, they throw in something about the constitution, or liberty and justice for all, or everyone is created equal, or some other inane belief that people use to measure the "good" America from the bad America, the one where the constitution only serves the rich, or where liberty, justice, equality for all has never happened anywhere, anytime, and is not real.

It may still be debatable, though the odds are going up, that we've crossed the line of no return. In America, some of the public still believe the upcoming election will change things, maybe not too much, but to them who believe and are completely inured to small change, like panhandlers, there is still hope, and hope is the rope on which we'll be hung.

Progressives point their fingers at the loud split in America first maga but have no proof whatsoever that these tittering tweeters would resign themselves to vote for the weakest blue dog minded democrat.

Blue dog democrats have hounded any progressive agenda for decades and, somehow, true progressives, as few as they are, are reluctant to just say goodbye to the Party of Small Change and ally themselves with the other small parties for the sake of survival.

Iran may have killed protesters but it never over the last twenty five years, killed tens of thousands of human beings, scattered hundreds of thousands of people across the world, unleashed indiscriminate warfare on several nations just because it could.

Progressives stop. The protests in Iran were merely another incentive for a forty year old murder contemplated by nationalistic, sadistic serial warmongers. The fact protesters were killed didn't make the slightest difference to whoever was sitting in the board rooms of deceit and lies and decided to take advantage.

I'm truly sorry that the Jews have become the scapegoats for their own brand of fascism, like Americans have. The Jews will probably rue the day and Americans will too hjust become like they've always been, mass killers of themselves and anyone else who gets in their way.

And finally, Americans should look no further, especially not beyond their borders, than their own civil war, where millions were killed or wounded over who was going to pick cotton, and it's still not resolved to this day.

Trump is establishing a scenario of making sure he will wield power through wealth and money over established and toothless institutions of the state. His Board of Piece will be outside of the jurisdiction of both domestic and international law, and possibly become the institution that runs a lot of what happens.

Remember, money runs the world, and buys a lot of power. Of course, he has to stay alive first, and being eighty, overweight and an addict doesn't bode well for his future nor ours, but will his illegitimate legacy carry on without him, his legacy being the mostly third world, third rate countries who paid a billion dollars to serve him, not a good man among them.

Pax.
