Forget Freedom, forget the First Amendment, forget the Free Press, as long as business is good, who cares what they do in Washington?
If that’s not your attitude, you need to change it. You’ll never change the greed that feeds that raging torment of lost souls in Congress — the White House doesn’t count, because it’s Satan’s Shrine, the SOURCE of all the raging torment.
Gosh, are you wondering why you should bother?
Frankly, that’s been my position right from the start. After having spent your life blasting away at that 30 year mortgage — if banks will even LEND to you — and putting aside some money for your retirement to add to the social security checks, which don’t cover much of anything, guess what?
Social Security is closing down.
Oh, well, it wasn’t that much, anyway — all it did was keep some bread on the table, and we don’t need bread … we’ve got tons and tons of cake mix.
People — I’m using the term loosely — in Congress barely know you’re alive. To them, you’re just a vote or money, meaning a lobbyist with cash money in your pocket.
This is the time to unload and get ready to rock and roll, SELL ANYTHING THAT ISN’T NAILED DOWN, to prevent “Rear-View Mirror Syndrome” when you look back at the huge pile of stuff you had to leave behind when you became an American Immigrant.
With that in mind, I’ve put up six totally beautiful Grabhorn Press 1943 reissues of the Gauguin woodcuts — I don’t have the complete portfolio, but if I did, it would go up at Sotheby’s, not on eBay, believe me, and you wouldn’t believe what an intact one of those will bring. Continue reading →
I remember Woodie Guthrie’s guitar. It was emblazoned with a clumsy handpainted scrawl that said “this guitar kills fascists”. There’s a video, “Power of Song”, in which Pete Seeger shows how to bring about change, real change, by empowering the people.
I can’t say whether there was voter fraud in the last election — I think it might very well be the last — but I can say with certainty that no one has even considered counting the VOODOO VOTE. Voodoo practitioners are uncounted — just try to take a survey and see what happens to you.
By my rough estimate, there are approximately 259 MILLION people out there who have their backs up against the wall, facing forced exile from friends, family and supportive jobs, which means, there goes the rest of the family right with them.
Have you ever found yourself wondering what to do in order to protect yourself, your family, your home, your business, your social security, your medical benefits and coverage and your personal freedoms FROM YOUR OWN FUCKING PRESIDENT???
Okay, so what’s that got to do with anything?
Well, I’ll tell you. People feel helpless. Just helpless. They’re faced with the biggest, richest bully they’ve ever seen in their lives, and he has banker friends who can help him finance his own “Blackwater” private army if he takes it into his mangled head to overthrow himself, as Nero and Caligula did Back in The Day.
Magic, both black and white, is always popular among the poor and disenfranchised, because what else have you got, to give you enough hope to carry on? All ordinary avenues of expression and family and home and job protection is unavailable to you — you’re just a working stiff, with no real voice. There is no popular vote, just the machine.
The thing is, there are some highly experienced voodoo queens out there, along with a large number of wannabe Harry Potters with the Official Harry Potter Magic Wand & Sorcery Kit — which really does exist, you can find it on eBay — not to mention all the spellcasters from a wide variety of cultures and backgrounds, even off-world in a few cases.
There are sorcerers, wizards, shamans, all sorts of magic-users in this world, and there’s no reason to suppose that they won’t use it, when deprived of a voting voice by the Electoral College, whatever the fuck THAT’S supposed to be.
My point is that they are threatened by the Trump Administration. Every weirdo in America is under direct threat from the Fourth Reich.
So, if I were the kind of magic-user that took offense and felt aggrieved and under attack from the New Washington (see SlimeWars for what this really means, forecast with names, dates and places over 45 years ago at its first publication), I’d probably use my most bizarre magical spells to protect myself and my family and friends and lifestyle and freedoms.
I wouldn’t want to see things like these on the Psychic Wizard Market:
TRUMPLESTILSKIN MENTAL ITCHING POWDER — This works intermittently, in sporadic randomly timed unguessable and indeterminate time patterns, to make any Trump itch uncontrollably, for just a few seconds at a time.
TRUMPLESTILSKIN MENTAL WHOOPEE CUSHION — Whenever you activate this spell, all Trumps will emit an odorless, harmless fart sound from their rear end.
TRUMPLESTILSKIN MENTAL HOT-FOOT — Gives any and all Trumps the definite mental sensation of having a hot-foot administered to them. Great for parties and other public gatherings.
TRUMPLESTILSKIN MENTAL JOY-BUZZER — When activated, this paranormal quantum effect gives Trumps the sensation of having their right palm tickled for just a second or two.
TRUMPLESTILSKIN MENTAL FLY-IN-PLASTIC-ICECUBE — Not a copy, this is the original mental fly in the plastic ice cube, made even funnier by the fact that it’s strictly mental, and no one else in the room can see it.
TRUMPLESTILSKIN FAKE VOMIT — I’ve been asked politely to please not describe this effect in detail.
TRUMPLESTILSKIN DOGGIE-DOO — A Plastic Poo Pyramid that emits a foul odor and a smoky, greenish haze that will fool your friends.
TRUMPLESTILSKIN HAIRPIECE — Not a copy, this is the Real Thing. Not only is it wearable, it’s alive!
TRUMPLESTILSKIN GORILLA MASK — Don’t just bust your seams. Now you can LOOK exactly like the Raging Gorilla that’s inside you, just bursting to get out! Have your way every time! Overwhelm! Break their shit!
TRUMPLESTILSKIN BRAIN TEASER — Just joking — there’s no sign of a brain.
Don’t want to hear about Trump’s latest outrage? Don’t really give a shit whether he’s insane or not? Want a little peace of mind and privacy? Don’t give up the ghost, there’s hope. I bring the TRUMP-FREE ZONE effects modules. BLOCK TRUMPISM with my TFZ — Trump-Free Zone — devices.
I don’t hate Trump, although I have every reason to. He’s about to destroy my personal freedoms, my healthcare benefits, my retirement, my real estate values, my stocks and bonds, and my family’s freedom from fear and oppression, but that’s HIS problem, not mine. I can live with it, but most folks will find domination by the rich to be unbearably oppressive. What’s more, by his own personal example, he’s made Nazi Propaganda a national sport, so what can you DO about it?
I know it’s a shock to suddenly find yourself living in an upside-down world in which America is OFFICIALLY racist, but there IS something you CAN DO about it right now, and none of it involves getting rid of Trump — that will happen on its own. It will fall off all by itself after a while.
Up until now, Trump has just been a somewhat shady public figure, but now he’s out in the open, and he’s in charge, which means that BILLIONS of people will soon learn to FEAR Trump, if they don’t actually hate him.
He doesn’t care what you think about him, just so long as every waking moment of your life is consumed with TRUMP.
Americans have aligned themselves with the ideals espoused by Donald Trump, and therefore expose themselves and America in general as a racist state, and according to all the shootings and beatings, they like it there.
Like it or not, you’re now lumped in with a bunch of white supremacists and upper class bastards who care nothing for the misery they cause on the poor and disenfranchised, and have especial dislike for those unable to defend themselves, always the mark of a coward, and understandably, you’re ashamed to admit that you’re an American.
Americans voted Trump into power, so clearly he embodies their American Ideal of White Supremacy and Isolationism. You’re an American. Try going overseas now, and see what that buys you.
Totally dispassionately, in full objective professional assessment, he’s a ravenous beast who needs to be fed with human flesh, but as politicians go, he’s pretty much the average political shmuck, but with a difference — he’s a whalloping, raging NPD — Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
That means he needs a LOT of attention, praise and respect, none of which he’ll get, in the end.
He’s a bully with a BIG stick, the U.S. Military and the Intelligence Community, neither of which he trusts. Trust Issues are a big thing with NPDs, and eventually that’s what will trip him up — he doesn’t trust his closest advisors.
Trump doesn’t actually have a plan. It’s always a new day, always a new idea. He can’t sit still, doesn’t know the meaning of the word “serenity” and has no respite from the hell of his own personal Angst.
He works on the fly, improvising at all times, trusting no one’s judgment but his own, using every opening, every advantage, to create action of any kind. It doesn’t much matter what happens, as long as he’s at the center of it. He gets results through the lavish use of Overwhelm and Rage, as you’ve seen.
His primary weapon is to turn others against others, engendering fear and distrust, his own personal symptoms of his terrible need to satisfy the lusts of his NPD brain.
He hates Mexicans, this we already know, and now the Mexicans know it, too. When he reads this blog — and he will, because he’s not only an NPD, but an OCD — suffering from an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder — I’ll be top on his revenge list, and like every NPD, you can be sure he has one, and if your name appears on the Impeachment Referendum list, he’ll say you’re an Illegal, which in his mind is the same as saying you’re Hispanic.
He aligns himself perfectly with the Neo-Nazis in his views of other races and religions, and plays the HATE card pretty much all the time. The NPD’s favorite game is to divide others and watch them fight it out, then he wades in and takes the victory, the glory and, of course, the money, and most importantly, the ATTENTION — and that’s the key right there.
