The ICEtapo Is Fascism Here And Now And Not Stopped By The Goddamned Bill Of Rights

 

ICEstapo arresting a Native American, slamming her head on the ground and when they give their excuse (probably because they found out she was Native American an not Latina) saying she was "twerking illegally."   And that's only the start of this short list of Republican-fascist secret-police crimes documented by Meidas Touch that American law, the Constitution, the goddamned Bill of Rights isn't stopping them from doing under the Roberts' Republican-fascist Court and the lower courts and Trump II Do"J" defiance of what courts might order to stop such crap.

Remember all of this the next time someone scolds you for pointing out that fascism is here and now as it has always been here and now for People of Color.   Just watch,  Trump is going to pardon the cold blooded cop murderer Derrick Chauvin, probably using his pardon of Diddy as a cover.  You just know Trump wants the cops murdering People of Color as does, clearly, the Republican Party and the American free press which will cover for him.  

If by some miracle Democrats regain power we have to make sure that they don't chicken out of addressing this like Obama and the Do"J" under Merrick Garland did and the Democratic Caucus leadership did when they had the chance to really deNazify the system.   As I mentioned that is my biggest nightmare, that Democrats will get the same kind of chance Obama got in 2009 and they will blow it like he did. 

Hate Mail

SOMEONE WHO OBJECTS to one of the things I recently posted about Israel's genocide in Gaza has asked me:

Free Palestinians in the West Bank and (now) Gaza from Israeli occupation and so-called leaders who are either genocidal terrorists or corrupt AF? 

You have got to be kidding me.  That would be opposed to the current Israeli occupation and genocide and Lebensraum and - I suppose I have to get used to the repugnant phrase now being standard "ethnic cleansing" - by the Likude and other Israeli-fascist coalition under the longest "serving" Israeli PM WHO HAS FOR YEARS BEEN AVOIDING CRIMINAL TRIAL FOR CORRUPTION IN ISRAEL THROUGH WAGING WAR AGAINST PALESTINIANS AND OTHERS, PROVOKING WARS FOR THE UNITED STATES AND OTHERS TO FIGHT WITH IRAQ AND NOW IRAN, ETC.   And those domestic crimes pale in significance to his and other members of his governments actual present criminal indictments in international court for crimes against humanity, war crimes, many more indictments that should be brought against many more Israeli politicians, terrorists encouraged by the government, "settlers," the Israeli military and terrorist-intelligence services, etc.  NONE OF WHICH IS DONE ON BEHALF OF EVEN THOSE PALESTINIANS WHO ARE ISRAELI 'CITIZENS.' OF A SORT, THAT IS UNTIL THEIR HOMES ARE DESTROYED AND APPROPRIATED EITHER "LEGALLY" BY THE OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT OR THROUGH MURDER AND TERROR BY THE "SETTLERS" WHO FORM A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE SUPPORT OF THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT,. . .  I could go on. 

I've got a question for you.  Two, in fact.  Given the genocide in Gaza, the terrorism, murder and theft of property, driving the survivors out in the West Bank, WOULDN'T PALESTINIANS  HAVE TO BE BE INSANE TO NOT PREFER THEIR OWN DESPOTS WHO WOULD, AT LEAST,  NOT DO THAT TO THEM OVER ISRAEL'S ETHNO-DEMOCRACY WHICH PERMITS THAT AND, IN FACT, HAS HAD IT AS POLICY FOR PRETTY MUCH ITS ENTIRE EXISTENCE?   Wouldn't any non-Palestinian who sees the status quo you prefer be guilty of choosing genocide for them out of some "principle" that they would never, ever, choose for themselves or their loved ones to be subjected to?   

If I supported that I'd be the equivalent of an American supporter of any other criminal regime who has done that during my lifetime or in history - and I include many a state government and the federal government of the United States, in history and during my lifetime in that statement.   I will not be that kind of a person or "democrat."  

To elaborate, considering all the above and your statement that opposes any Palestinian state,  no doubt ready to see the status quo stand till the last Palestinian is either expelled, forced out or murdered,  do you ever listen to yourself?   The most charitable interpretation of your own definition of the issues involved in the matter of Israel was that its establishment was a massive mistake that ignored every aspect of the predictable* consequences that you, yourself, admit constitutes the status quo.   And you don't have to get to anything like the worst-case scenario that Zionists, those who went to Israel, those who have merely visited as tourists, those many, many who have never been there and have no intention of putting their own asses on the line to maintain the situation, ARE ENTIRELY IN FAVOR OF EVERY CRIME COMMITTED TO PRODUCE THAT STATUS QUO.   And I am fully prepared to believe that the large majority of those Zionists are not Jewish at all but are gentiles, INCLUDING MANY SUCH AS THE "CHRISTIAN-EVANGELICAL-ZIONISTS" WHO ARE CLASSIC ANTI-SEMITES**.

I am a person who believes that Nazism and any ideology which has a history of genocidal violence not only should be, in fact, totally suppressed but so  removed from the possibility of having any role in the human future.   I believe its suppression is a moral imperative and any legal theories or system which permits its perpetuation and chance of succeeding, again, into the future is a clearly and insanely illegitimate and criminal legal theory.   I hold that American style "civil liberties" that holds Nazism is to always have that chance into the future is criminally negligent.  It is, on its face,  insane to allow Nazism any possible chance to do what it holds as its basis of existence ever again out of some daffy notion of equality among ideologies.   I hold the same about many other ideologies with a similar history,  such as the white supremacy, America's indigenous form of fascism which still stains the United States, its Constitution, its legal system and our history from the start and till today.   Its permission out of "civil liberties" is directly responsible for its current resurgence to control our present and future.  For that I loathe the "civil liberties" industry.    I certainly hold the same view of Zionism is as valid as my stand that Nazism should be vigorously, legally suppressed.   I find it impossible to ignore the reality of those who ignore the most public genocide in human history,  matching those by the various governments in the former Yugoslavia and topping them, demanding that Western governments support it and succeeding in that.   I resent Israel for drawing my country into its own crimes,  I especially resent it for drawing my political party and the man who would have stood as the best U.S. President since Lyndon Johnson into supporting it.  

Argue against those arguments on an honest and rational basis and I might,  I MIGHT post your comment.  

*  That is literally predictable in that those consequences of the establishment of a modern Israeli state on Palestine were predicted decades before Israel was declared a state.

**  I have, for the past number of years, adopted the non-hyphenated spelling that Deborah Lipstadt insisted on out of my former respect for her.    Given her involvement in the IHRA coercive and dishonest defining of entirely normal kinds of criticism of the criminal state of Israel as "anti-semitism" and coercing governments and institutions around the world to adopt that dishonest and I now hold criminal cover up to use as a weapon against those legitimate critics,  any respect that shielded her against a normal level of criticism of an academic who has been part of that is gone,  gone to the extent that I have reviewed the criticism of her academic work that Norman Finkelstein has made of it and think much of his criticism is valid.   Given that, I'm reluctant to follow her spelling advice.    Given her academic specialty, it is remarkable to me that she can support a genocide happening in public, gleefully videoed and published immediately online by the genocidalists who are far more public in their genocide than almost any in the past.   She has forfeited any respect I may have once had for her largely due, I will admit it, to her exposure of David Irving.  

I Never Get Tired Of The Whining Of The FAFO Crybabies Here's an Alabama Contractor Who's Getting What He Wanted Done To Others Being Done To Him

 

Surprised To Still Be Here For What Is It, About Eighteen Hours?

THANKS TO THE TEMPORARY fix the commission pampered electric monopoly here has made to the phone pole down the road, the one that got wrecked a week ago, I can still go online.   I told my sister that they'd fix it on the hottest day of the year so I couldn't use a fan for the day, apparently that hasn't come yet.   Maybe today? 

I will start again on the long post I had going, an answer to someone who didn't like me dissing liberal democracy which,  I hold, is a form of government only lesser as the rule of gangsterism than the fascism our liberal democracy is devolving into - as so many another liberal democracy is or has so devolved.  Maybe I'll get to post it this time. 

One I'm researching right now but finding it hard - one that tries to track the links between Epstein-Maxwell and the new atheist fad among the high and sciency in the 00s and beyond - is in the works.  Among other things I found was a quote by Epstein that said all he was interested in was "Science and pussy."   No doubt that's one of the things that led him and Maxwell to finance that hotbed of the new atheist fad the "Scienceblogs."  But that was small potatoes compared to the many, many scientists, some of the biggest names in science, who had both a financial and social relationship to the leading socialites of straight (so far as we know so far) pedophile pandering and rape.   The scientists, science departments and major private universities (I haven't seen much in the way of land-grant schools named as being part of it) intersects broadly with the big names of organized atheism of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.   I'm finding it hard to research because I suspect what has been published so far is the tip of the same frozen shitberg of the Epstein-Maxwell pedophile client list of those in politics, the law and other areas of interest.   Considering how many scientists Epstein-Maxwell (they worked as a tag team of kidnapping and trafficking children and should ALWAYS be joined when that topic is discussed) threw parties for, partied with, flew to the locations where he supplied children to be raped I suspect the Venn diagram would show that intersection with the new atheist fad to be even more considerable than the one that intersects Harvard-Yale, etc. Law grad and those who Epstein-Maxwell supplied, very probably videotaped committing moral atrocities and crimes and very likely profited from blackmailing or selling their info to those who would then blackmail them.  

I say publish it all, anyone who partied with that pair should be exposed and, at this point, let them prove their association with them was innocent.   I'm tired of the Napoleonic rules for the least among us while the "innocent till not only proven guilty  then pardoned by Epstein-Maxwell's best buddy" for the rest of them,  you know, the ones who get big name lawyers (including those in the E-M orbit) to get them sweetheart deals.   From now on, as far as I'm concerned, the biggest and brightest stars get to prove their innocence,  Republican-fascist, merely Republican (corrupt) or those with a "D" after their names.  At this point there have been so many likely entirely innocent Democrats named by the fascists that it is a disservice to the truly innocent to not publish ALL OF THE EVIDENCE.   What are they going to do?   Bring those prosecutions that they, so far, have not?   Including for the four years that Harvard product Merrick Garland had to do what he so obviously was loathe to do,  go after the rich and powerful.   

Publish it so the innocent won't be further slandered.   I will point out what I pointed out the week before last, WHAT EVER IS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN UNDER THE BILL OF RIGHTS, THE U.S. CONSTITUTION IS WHAT IS REALLY CONSTITUTIONAL, and a lot of it is utterly corrupt and entirely unequal, profiting the rich, the white the male and the connected,  you know, the same ones who run the big name universities and law schools.   The founding father types. 

Surprised I'm Not Being Accused Of Celebrating Tom Lehrer's Death

USUALLY WHEN A TOM LEHRER,  or a list of many others is mentioned anywhere the usual jackass lies to say that I dissed them when I never did.   That said, I heard what Lehrer had to say before 1975, found it funny and didn't much need to hear it again after that, something apparently he and I agreed on because it was about that time he stopped working in music, writing his wittily cynical songs and performing them very well.  That's the thing about a joke, you hear it once or a few times then its store of substance is gone for you.   I can respect someone whose well of inspiration lasts through a very long life and I especially can respect someone whose well runs out AND THEY STOP GOING TO THE SAME TEAT THAT ONCE GAVE GOOD MILK BUT WHICH HAS DRIED UP.   I recalled reading him answering someone on that point and it was, typically, witty and wise.

If an idea came to me, I'd write, and if it didn't I wouldn't—and, gradually, the second option prevailed over the first. Occasionally people ask 'If you enjoyed it'—and I did—'why don't you do it again?' I reply, 'I enjoyed high school but I certainly wouldn't want to do that again.

Considering the guy who generally takes these occasions to lie about what I said and the milieu in which he says it - frequenting the Baby Blue Blog like so many others is like perpetually sentencing yourself to the nightmare of repeating jr. high - I'll let Mr. Lehrer have that last word put so perfectly.   

He died at 97,  I read, most likely of something like natural causes.  THAT isn't a tragedy.   Marvin Gaye being shot to death by his deranged father when he was far less than half that age,  THAT'S A TRAGEDY.  

UPDATE:  Stupy posted a comment I'm tempted to post containing exactly the kind of lie about what I say above to prove what I was talking about.   I can only imagine what Lehrer would make of him, he pinned down so many specimens of the failure of American education and kulcha.  One of the things he said was that he detested the kulcha and anti-intellectual aspects of the 60s era "counter culture,"  what I call "kulcha,"  which he said contributed to his abandonment of his career in musical satire.   The post-literate, post-truth Stupy is a prime example of that. 

The Roberts Court And The Media Will Be All In With The Trump Deal With Ghislaine Maxwell

as is the entire Republican-fascist caucus in the House and many in the Senate, and the entire Republican-fascist party who have not only NOT rejected Trump but HAVE NOT pulled him down from the presidency and exposed his pedophile crimes with his former best boy friend, Jeffrey Epstein.   I wonder if Ghislaine Maxwell was in on a threesome of  Trump, Maxwell, Epstein raping a minor.   Is there a video of it?  I wouldn't bet against there being one WHICH SHE HAS A COPY OF. 

We are on the verge of watching American Satyricon enter into a whole new phase with the Roberts Court, Mike "KKKristian" Johnson, white-evangelicals, "trad-Catholics" etc. all in on it this time.   Ghislaine Maxwell is going to tell Trump authored lies in exchange for a pardon from him, a degenerate who is certainly making a deal to suppress information as to his own felonies in raping children. 

We need a number of Constitutional amendments, one of those is a drastic revision of the idiotically broad presidential pardon powers our idiot - and likely as criminal- founders put in that disaster ridden document.  

I Won't Go Into Details But

an accidental event has kept me off-line since early Wednesday or so.  Not a health issue or fire or anything like that.  Corporate indulgence by the courts and regulators is part of it,  we got better service from our electric company seventy years ago back when the grid here was hardly a grid and it was probably run on phone calls and handwritten messages and the service was far cheaper than now.  Quite literally, that has everything to do with it.   

I will probably be posting lightly if at all for a few days to come.
