Mass Murder Inc

 

 

Mass Murder Inc.

 

 

 

 

Early in the 20th century a gang of New York based American Italians and Jews, most of them the offspring of immigrants, initiated a criminal organization called Murder Inc. They were paid to kill people, which they did for a great deal of money and became the stuff of criminal legends. These two groups, eastern European Jews and southern European Italians, were overwhelmingly working class people of no criminal intent or experience, but they encountered bigotry to such an extent that legislation was passed limiting their numbers allowed to enter the country with accompanying identification of them by social leaders as humanoid scum not worthy of living in our supposed suburb of heaven. One can only imagine the screaming liberal identity group anger and booming therapy business were such to occur now about any group of immigrants though many are still treated dreadfully. Immigrant encounters with economic hardship sometimes brings out criminal elements many find necessary to survive. But that minority descent into murder as a financial pursuit and even the Italian Mafia that followed would eventually seem like a corner grocery store when placed up against the incredible global homicide business machine developed by the nation.

 

Sometime later in that century the United States became the most tremendous mass murderer in history, beginning with the massive bloodbath of world war two and continuing up to the present moment. The profits available via weapons of military and political domination enabled American capitalism to rule the world. President Eisenhower warned, upon leaving office in the 1950s, that we were in danger of being owned and operated by a military industrial complex that would bring violence on a scale previously beyond imagination. Even he would be shocked at the incredible human butchers and war marketeers we have become.

 

The slaughters we have conducted since the end of WW2 in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Europe have killed millions, all in alleged pursuit of peace, love and democracy but far more truthfully in pursuit of world domination and making tremendous amounts of profits out of the process.

 

At present we perpetuate a proxy war in which we arm Ukrainians to kill allegedly invading Russians who are actually defending their nation from an American armed and organized attempt at further destruction of a competitive world power. The status of the police state control of public thought is approaching what might make the ruling powers of old Nazi Germany blush if not vomit. Americans remain blissfully unaware of the trillions that we spend on the mass murder business and how we have dominated the world with violence all the while publicly extolling our seeking of peace on earth and good will to all unless they disobey in which case we destroy their nations and murder their people. Slowly but surely the world is beginning to turn away from western imperial domination emanating from the USA but the American public needs to catch up before we start a nuclear war.

 

As we edge closer to economic collapse our bi-partisan bi-polar bi-species bi-gendered bi-genital bi-human congress has saved retired America from financial ruin by agreeing to send out social insecurity checks for at least a few more more months while assuring that Mass Murder Inc. receives even more billions of working class tax payer dollars than usual. We can be sure that the imperial threat to humanity will not only continue but get much worse until the still remaining lap dogs of the Nato west join the rest of humanity and work to create a global democracy that ends the dictatorship of the minority rich capitalists and the bloodbath it conducts on humanity and nature.

 

The American majority still convinced it lives in a democracy despite all material evidence indicating there is more evidence that Santa Claus is a disabled Polish-American gay Jew of color needs to turn off anti-social media that speaks for ruling minorities and begin adhering to truly majority global attempts at warning us against the threat of nuclear war in the short term and the longer term political economic assault on nature that threatens all of humanity’s future. While we hear buzz words about allegedly fighting what marketers have product labeled as climate change, the problem grows more serious under market forces creating new blights on nature with supposed safer products in pursuit of the private profits that are the roots of social destruction.

 

 According to the Institute for European Environmental Policy, more than half the CO2 emissions since the 18th century start of the industrial revolution have happened in the last 30 years! Progress? “Green” economics? Meanwhile our anti-social corporate media is assaulting the public mind with intellectual sewage claiming that Trump should go to jail and thus solve all our crumbling political economic problems. His followers are all called un-educated Christian fascists by semi-educated anti-Christian fascists but both groups are seen and treated as identity groups called dumb and dumber by the minority owners who pay their political and media servants to keep them/us squabbling amongst ourselves about who is responsible for the leaking ship of state that is making the titanic look like the safest boat that ever sailed. The longer we accept the socially hemorrhaging status of our nation, which is

the logical outcome of generations of leadership from Mass Murder Inc. the shorter the remaining history of not only the USA but the planet itself.

 

 

Given the increasingly insane and bloody moves by what passes for leadership of something called the free world, at least according to its owners and their lackeys, it’s almost impossible to overstate or underrate present fictional reality. A nation presently engaged in a proxy war sacrificing thousands of Ukrainian and Russian lives in pursuit of further domination of Europe in keeping with its role since the second word war also increases its warrior position surrounding China in its alleged love and admiration for Taiwan – an actual part of China – while bellowing about the warlike posture of the Chinese. We surround that nation, as well as Russia, with masses of military while screeching about the threat they represent to all that Americans supposedly hold dear which may be high fashion and low morals. An individual acting like this nation would be placed in a straitjacket by a health care worker or more likely shot dead by a police officer as that group frequently is forced into action dealing with homicidal madness that is the most important national byproduct of Mass Murder Inc., the most incredible killing machine in the history of humanity.

 

But not to worry. Consciousness Control and Mind Management are not just cramming our heads with mental proctologist’s latest discoveries. Now we’re to be thrilled, excited, ecstatic and orgasmic over the ex-president being charged with crimes that could set him up to be the first president re-elected from prison while further driving Americans into ever narrower identity groups that make broader democracy impossible. If we continue to act as people without truly social lives and remain subject to a homicidal thought control environment, we’ll continue not noticing foul air on both coasts of America as a result of fires not set by enemy invaders but by our political economy. But of course we must prepare for the monstrous problem represented by China, a capitalist economy but run by communists and a head of state who represents the following ideas in this quote that should strike fear into the hearts and minds of all Americans who believe that rape is a form of love, homeless people deserve to freeze out in the cold and if you cant afford health care you should just drop dead.

 

In 2018, Chinese premiere Xi Jinping outlined plans to create a social society of equality by the year 2035, but warned:

 

 “We won’t get there unless we replace money worship with traditional morality and leave no one behind, weed out political corruption, implement social justice and equitability and provide everyone with their own homes, good wages, a beautiful environment, safe streets, fine schools, guaranteed incomes, free health care, and enough time for art and contemplation.”

The present bumbling bipartisan residing at the white house called him a dictator in a breathlessly clear example that he is as mentally as physically unbalanced and while filling out his term seated he might also keep his mouth shut.

 

The minority rich owners and controllers of Mass Murder Inc. cannot stand by and allow such dreadful thinking as expressed by Xi to persevere. The world must see to it, under the leadership of freedom loving Americans, that China be stopped!

The  truly AI -Artificial Intelligence - created American foreign policy with educated leadership bearing graduate degrees in global homicide and doctoral degrees in universal mass murder will see to it that China is not allowed to prevail. If we let them. And by finally performing as a truly democratic people we can join China and the rest of humanity in creating the material reality Xi speaks of for all humanity.

Malcolm X - Happy Birthday!

He thought like a prosecutor and walked like a Prince.

As a boy he dreamed of being a lawyer, but a teacher told him it "was no realistic goal for a nigger." So he got his education in the Roxbury ghetto, the streets of Harlem, and Federal prison. Asked what his alma mater was, he once answered: "Books!"

Taught to be humble and submissive, his eyes burned defiance. Told to moderate his politics, he retorted that "an extreme illness cannot be cured by a moderate medicine," and demanded revolution "by any means necessary." Advised to imitate "responsible" civil rights leaders, he brought huge black audiences roaring to their feat icily recounting the racist brutality of which they were the constant victims.

No adversary could take him in debate. What looked like loopholes in his arguments were actually hangman's knots, noted writer James Baldwin, as his strangled critics quickly discovered when they foolishly rushed for the openings.

Accused of fomenting violence and hate, Malcolm was as gentle as a lamb with those he sought to liberate. When a young black man insisted his U.S. birth made him an American, Malcolm smiled affectionately and chided him in his softest voice:  "Now brother, if a cat has kittens in the oven, does that make them biscuits?"

Post-Fox Tucker Carlson Speaks, And Says Something

 "Good evening, it's Tucker Carlson. One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country, kind and decent people, people who really care about what's true. And a bunch of hilarious people also. A lot of those, it's got to be the majority of the population, even now.  So that's heartening. The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are. They're completely irrelevant. They mean nothing. In five years we won't even remember that we had them. Trust me as someone who's participated. And yet at the same time - and this is the amazing thing - the undeniably big topics, the ones that will define our future, get virtually no discussion at all. War, civil liberties, emerging science, demographic change, corporate power, natural resources. When was the last time you heard a legitimate debate about any of those issues? It's been a long time. Debates like that are not permitted in American media. Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them, and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it. Suddenly, the United States looks very much like a one-party state. That's a depressing realization, but it's not permanent. Our current orthodoxies won't last. They're brain dead. Nobody actually believes them. Hardly anyone's life is improved by them. This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue, and so it won't. The people in charge know this, that's why they're hysterical and aggressive. They're afraid. They've given up persuasion; they're resorting to force. But it won't work. When honest people say what's true, calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who've been trying to silence them, shrink, and they become weaker. That's the iron law of the universe. True things prevail. Where can you still find Americans saying true things? There aren't many places left, but there are some, and that's enough. As long as you can hear the words, there is hope. See you soon."

Kamala Harris Speaks, And Says . . . ?

"So, I think it's very important, as you have heard from so many incredible leaders, for us at every moment in time, and certainly this one, to see the moment in time in which we exist in our present. And to be able to contextualize it, to understand where we exist in the history, and in the moment as it relates not only to the past but the future."

Capitalism is Democratic the way Rape is Romance

 

 

 

Capitalism is Democratic the Way Rape is Romance

 

“Whenever I see he/him or she/her I think fuck/you. You must be living an awfully precious life if, amid the pervasive despair of an economy in free fall, your uppermost concern is clinging to your pronouns."

Norman Finkelstein

 

 

The present mental state of the American public is almost as bad as the ruling military idiocy which is pushing us closer to a nuclear confrontation as we conduct a proxy war against Russia using Ukrainian lives while we supply the weapons. In the face of this and a recent United Nations report calling for more urgency than ever in dealing with the environmental breakdown of nature under assault by capitalist market madness, Americans are under an attack on sanity more deadly than ever for not dealing with material circumstances but rather a set of alleged problems which make fairy tales sound like intellectually sound reports on material reality.

 

Herds of otherwise thoughtful people are moved to become an intellectual lynch mob as consciousness control and mind management organizes a frenzy of demands to televise the Trump court fiascos, suppress speech found painful by privileged folks totally protected from physical pain, and other aspects of personality and character disorders among a socially tortured people suffering political and economic deprivation under the rule of morally depraved leadership whose power comes from amassing incredible wealth and having its political servant class accept  and teach that as democracy. Suppression of thought and rape of language labels a market process as electoral choice and a political system threatening more people with less information than ever before is dubbed “our democracy”.

 

You know, the one in which Julian Assange is driven closer to death by hordes of former reporters who have become storm troopers in the army of propaganda purveyors who were once at least an occasional source of fairly unbiased news reporting. As banking and finance show signs of near collapse and most of the world moves further from dependence on the American dollar that is fast becoming as sound as digital or counterfeit currency, and the murderous war budget continues to grow in killing Russians by sacrificing Ukrainians lives along with American dollars, an assortment of allegedly life or death struggles over races other than human, genders other than male and female, and other themes and variations of fantasy fiction which act as  programmed mental blockades for the public, as we sink closer to mental and physical doom that threatens far more than only our nation.

 

The breaking down of a global system of imperialism shows itself in a variety of ways that remain invisible, unheard, unseen and never analyzed in the main stream of consciousness control and mind management that fading ruling powers are using in more desperate fashion than any previous assault on American mental health. The daily poisoning of national capacity to think has become a raging epidemic to make the corona virus seem almost simple by comparison, though it came from the same source: capital private profit marketing under the guise of freedom and democracy that guarantees Americans the right to buy a weapon in order to protect themselves from the most frightening creatures in the universe: other Americans.

 

 We are warned against fictional problems with Chinese “spy” balloons and Chinese “spy” police while murdering one another, frequently in groups ranging from children and their teachers to shoppers at a mall or worshippers at a proposed religious haven and spending hundreds of billions to menace and murder all over the world as a form of protection for what people who make religious fanatics seem thoughtful call “our” democracy”.

 

This cherished fantasy takes place in a population in which 8% are millionaires; multi-millionaires and billionaires while the overwhelming 92% majority are manipulated when not physically beaten into accepting such idiocy as “equality”.

 

The billions keep pouring into the proxy war in the Ukraine which murders Russians who are alleged to have invaded when the truth is their borders have been menaced by the U.S. and its Nato lap dogs since the end of the soviet union and communist rule which supposedly brought the world closer to peace. But not according to the ruling powers of minority wealth which expanded its war profiteering and actually further menaced the future with nuclear war as the aggressive minority which rules America asserted its deadly control more fully by making a sick joke of words like democracy, freedom and equality, while destroying every step in the direction nations took trying to achieve such things, most especially our own.

 

A population previously frightened by profitable pro or anti trans fat diets has become enamored of more profitable trans gender relations, further alienating many while pleasing others troubled by what may have once involved seeking counsel or joining a church or drinking alcohol or taking drugs or all four and more. We are already embroiled in a supposed democratic action which is to begin more than a year into the future when the two parties of capitalism will wage multi billion dollar marketing wars called a presidential election. At the present moment there is no alternative voice beyond the Green party, which is at a severe disadvantage in a supposed capitalist democracy. It does not have billions of dollars stashed with which to buy marketing time to see its program which calls for system change and not simply a cosmetic personnel change to reward one or another nice guy-girl-man-woman-shim from an identity group other than-different from others in the creation of ever more alienation and division among the people to strengthen our ruling minority and its front line servant demublicans and republicrats.

 

Our savage divisions under false race idiocy in denial of the fact that we are all members of the one and only human race have been joined by seemingly lesser but just as dangerous divisions alleging more than the two sexes involved in human evolution. A surge of separate but unequal identity groups has occurred as ruling power works harder than ever to divide humanity and thus make majority action democracy impossible. Unless disabled Polish American gay Jews of color are acknowledged progress is impossible and poor people can just drop dead on the streets until alleged bi-racial trans-sexual-tri-species-quad brained humans take their place alongside Batman, Captain Marvel, fairy godmothers, Founding Fathers and enchanted animals.

 

Considering the fact that the overwhelming 92% majority of us are carrying more than 31 trillion dollars in public debt, more than 16 billion in personal debt and have absolutely no chance under capitalist private profit political economics of seeing anything but further growth in that debt, we should move to at least share the pronoun “asshole” as at least one way of establishing our common membership in a class of humans reduced to mental slavery under the assault on our ability to think. But there is hope, and not only from the rapid awakening in the rest of the world that America is not some biblical ruler of the universe but from the awareness growing here despite all thought suppression that if we don’t do something about it humanity and most especially America will suffer even more greatly.

 

Still, minority control of our minds and worse our nuclear weapons and their desire and commitment to destroying Russia and China make it all the more important that struggles for one or another minority or one or another aspect of environmental destruction that do not confront capitalist private profit-public loss political economics as the root cause of our problems will make them far more difficult if not impossible to solve.

 

Making a profit by creating electric cars instead of gasoline-powered vehicles will benefit minority capital and some of its servants but we need to reduce the total environmentally destructive control of life that the private automobile has become. Not only does it pollute but private profit auto transit creates public loss by killing tens of thousands of us every year, while crippling even more along with fouling air and poisoning land. We need public transit that makes it possible for any of us to get anywhere in time for whatever we have to do and for it to be safe enough to guarantee an end to the sheer butchery of the overwhelmingly wasteful and murderous single occupant private auto transit system. And that will only be possible when we have democratic control of the economy through political democracy which is absolutely impossible under minority dominated private profit- public loss capitalism.

 

Whether we achieve that peacefully or not will depend on shattering the steel curtain covering material reality with a media strengthened view of reality that is a nightmare trending towards a disaster. We need to wake up from an induced slumber so that all of us, whether pigeonholed by our rulers as left or right, can come together, transform reality before it destroys us, and salvage our world and our race as unified “influencers” of a democratic revolution. What’s been called a “woke” state of mind has become a joke but we do need to “wake” from the idiotic trance social mind control has put us under. And anyway, “woke” is past tense. We need to “wake” to reality in the present or there may not be a past tense available to us, here or elsewhere.

U.S. Policy Has Always Been To "Win" Nuclear War - Ellsberg

 "The basic elements of American readiness for nuclear war remain today what they were almost sixty years ago: Thousands of nuclear weapons remain on hair-trigger alert, aimed mainly at Russian military targets including command and control, many in or near cities. The declared official rationale for such a system has always been primarily the supposed need to deter - or if necessary respond to - an aggressive Russian nuclear first strike against the United States. That widely believed public rationale is a deliberate deception. Deterring a surprise Soviet nuclear attack - or responding to such an attack - has never been the only or even the primary purpose of our nuclear plans and preparations. The nature, scale, and posture of our strategic nuclear forces has always been shaped by the requirements of quite different purposes: to attempt to limit the damage to the United States from Soviet or Russian retaliation to a U.S. first strike against the USSR or Russia. This capability is, in particular, intended to strengthen the credibility of U.S. threats to initiate limited nuclear attacks, or escalate them - U.S. threats of 'first use' - to prevail in regional, initially non-nuclear conflicts involving Soviet or Russian forces or their allies."

On A Rainy Night Where Cotton Was Still King

April 3, 1968 - Memphis

In town to help striking Memphis garbage workers, an exhausted and downcast Dr. King is already in his pajamas when the call comes in from Reverend Abernathy at Mason Temple, informing him that two thousand people have braved tornado warnings and a driving rain to hear him speak. "I really think you should come down," Abernathy pleads. "The people want to hear you, not me. This is your crowd." 

Dr. King gets dressed and goes out into the stormy night. 

In the blaze of lights at the podium he appears nervous. He tells his audience that if he were at God's side on the dawn of creation he would ask to see Moses liberating his people, Plato and Aristotle debating philosophy, Renaissance Europe, Luther tacking his 95 theses on the church door, Lincoln emancipating the slaves, and Roosevelt navigating his way to the New Deal. But he would not dally in any of these times or places, preferring to move on and experience just a few years in the second half of the twentieth century, when masses around the world rose up to say: We want to be free. 

Dr. King, abandoned by militants, vilified by the press, stalked by death and the FBI, is deeply grateful to share in the freedom struggles that heap his life with hardship. 

With the crowd shouting its approval, he bellows that he has been to the mountaintop and seen the Promised Land. Brushing aside prospects of premature death, he declares that longevity has its place, but that on this night he is not worried about any thing, not fearing any man.

A burning passion in his eyes, his voice rising to a shattering crescendo, he declares his last will and testament.

"Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!" 

 

April 4, 1968 - Death of a Prophet 

The bullet explodes into his face, severs his spine, and brings Dr. King crashing down, down down, on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel. 

Reverend Abernathy bolts to his side, calling out to those in the parking lot below. 

"Oh my God, Martin's been shot!"

Dr. King, a look of terror in his eyes, clutches uselessly at his throat. His head lies in an expanding pool of blood. Abernathy tries to comfort him. 

"This is Ralph, this is Ralph, don't be afraid."

Reverend King, still conscious, his magnificent voice silenced forever, cannot answer. His mouth quivers once and then Abernathy feels he is communicating through his eyes. 

In King's motel room, the Reverend Billy Kyle bangs his head against the wall again and again, screaming into the telephone for an operator. 

Dashing up sobbing from the parking lot, Andrew Young gropes for a pulse.

He screams: "Oh, my God, my God. it's all over."

American cities begin to burn.

 

Excerpt From The Speech That Got Dr. King Killed: 

"The peasants watched as we supported a ruthless dictatorship in South Vietnam which aligned itself with extortionist landlords and executed its political opponents. The peasants watched as we poisoned their water, bombed and machine-gunned their huts, annihilated their crops, and sent them wandering into the towns, where thousands of homeless children roamed the streets like animals, begging for food and selling their mothers and sisters to American soldiers. What do the peasants think as we test our latest weapons on them, as the Germans tested new medicines and tortures in Europe's concentration camps?

" . . . we have destroyed their land and crushed their only non-Communist revolutionary political force - the Unified Buddhist Church. We have corrupted their women and children and killed their men. What liberators!"

 

-----Dr. Martin Luther King, New York City, April 4, 1967
