FEMA’s New Mission: Domestic Terrorism by Ken Klippenstein

The disaster response agency forgets the weather, embraces pre-crime

Read on Substack

There is going to be so much to abolish and rebuild after the fascists scurry off into their rat nests. I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone, including people who consider themselves "centrists", but especially those on the left, would want the same group of controlled opposition democrats who are just as responsible for all of this as the far right is, to be the ones in power to hold anyone accountable and deal with the global and domestic disasters that we've been a part of creating or caused for the past 25 years honestly.  When you realize how the far right and center-right are vastly outnumbered it makes sense why they believe the media must be controlled, those who do not fear them must be taught a lesson, and those who refuse to play the game must be eliminated or delegitimized in some fashion.  The thing is it isn't just the far right who support the fascism, just as in 1930s Germany, they can't do it without "The Centrists".  And just like in the 1930s, no fascist entity gets anywhere without the backing of generational- wealth greed and power addicts.  Any sense of allowing the people to decide, no matter how flimsy it was to begin with, is gone.  The good thing is that ego is the enemy of intelligence, logic, and reason, so these people are some of the dumbest on the planet.  However, since they can do so much harm so quickly with the money/power they've stolen, that is also a very bad thing. As we've seen over the past several years, they'll continue to think they live in the Terminator, or Blade Runner, or whatever dystopian fictional future they see themselves as the overlord of in their excessive greed psychosis, while the rest of us strategize in reality with one another, even those we disagree with on a great many things.  That's the one thing we have going for us.  These people are some of the dumbest people to ever walk the earth, even compared to the earliest bipedal hominids.  They will continue to do the most obviously stupid and heinous shit out in the open, thinking it won't catch up to them.  We just have to make sure that it does.

 Good summary of things happening in India from Democracy Now!.

 

I watch Arun to find out what's happening in more detail (the India Education Minister just resigned), but I have to admit at times, the larger consequences go completely over my head because I think I'm missing decades of context and minutia regarding the history of the political parties. The people I work for are from Kerala, the most left-leaning part of the country. They've only ever talked about Indian politics in a general way.  They're more worried about this country coming for them, their children, and their grandchild for being brown than what's happening over there.  It's always good to learn more from different perspectives, because this is all tied to the same global struggle.  Especially if they start bringing that shit over here to harass Indians and Indian-Americans (or anyone from South Asia because you know the dumb fascists in this country don't know or care about the differences in the TWO BILLION people from the region, which is 6X the population of the US, btw).

I love that Democracy Now! is considered mainstream "leftist" journalism.  It is just the "the news", there is no other trustworthy, reliable and easily accessible major daily media outlet in the US.  I am old enough to remember when no one knew what it was or wanted to give it any respect if they did.  By just existing and doing what it's been doing for three decades, it makes the corporate and legacy media look like the National Enquirer and TMZ. There are plenty of opinion and analysis outlets, some of which I love.  But DN! is just straight up journalism.  I hope more people/outlets try a more structured live schedule. I think Drop Site is trying to start doing that. It's the only way we get the older gen Xers and the leftist Boomers, they need routine.  It's part of the reason why there are so many boomer libs in the Majority Report community. It's why the right was killing the left with internet-based media up until recently (and the, ya know, obvious bots/paid trolls). You have to wonder, where the fuck are the wealthy leftist investors in media?  You know there must a couple out there.  I don't mean a lib lying to themselves and everyone else, I mean a leftist that was born into money or something.  Why do we not have a real news round-the-clock-network out there that has integrity and doesn't give a shit about appeasing the neo-libs, only telling the ugly truth?  We don't need cable anymore.  What is the fucking hold up?

I don't post enough funny shit anymore. Mostly 'cause this world doesn't rise up to the challenge it's facing.  This killed me.

Always cracks me up when people say they're thinking of moving to WY or MT.  Quietly, I think, you must be white.  Regardless, good luck with that. 

**Trigger Warning - public animal abuse ** [I ALWAYS root for the bull/calf/horse to make it your last show, I don't care who the fuck you are, you sadistic weirdo.]

 WY is a microcosm, in many different ways, for what's been happening all over the country for decades now. WY has been heading this way for more than 20 years, it's just in it's final phase.  Same shit that's been happening in the Bay Area for the past 30 years, NYC for the past 40, LA since its inception, or at least since the 70s. This is a product of the scam economy=peak capitalism-=late stage capitalism, it's doing what it's designed to do.  When Bush I said "it's a A New World Order" after 10 years of Reagan/Atwaterism and the completion of the Evangelical/Capitalism/private-wealthy-hedonism-worship take over of the right, this is what he meant. And the former CIA director is supposedly considered a moderate compared to today's outwardly fascist, anti-democracy, anti-indigenous/human rights, worker/immigrant hating, pro slavery/Jim Crown/segregationist, pre-suffrage-loving right. Not saying he was, just that's what the controlled media need you to think is an acceptable point of view. This guy. 

Once they can buy anything they want, they want everything.  

General Strike. Now.

If you have something to say, say it now before it's too late.

I'm only sad Graham is dead because I really wanted him to be investigated and tried for war crimes and exposed for his personal hypocrisy before he died.  I had no idea he was only 71, he looked like such shit the past few years I assumed he must have been around Trump's age.  One day we'll be able to easily quantify how many deaths people like this bloodthirsty misanthrope are directly and indirectly responsible for. This dude will have an extremely high body count.  When you watch how the corporate media talks about ghouls like him, the capitulation and complacency to the orders of the oligarchy by those who call themselves journalists becomes crystal clear, even to the average selectively dumb lib.

If you're interested in this topic, and every last one of us should be, you should also follow what's going on with the Karen Read case and the Mass State Police's white supremacist problem (not at all surprising, we have that here in KY, too).  When I find a good recent video/article, I'll post.  I will vote for anyone who has a concrete plan to do a full investigation of white supremacist/KKK/Nazi organizations within law reinforcement and military in this country.
