The six turds on the Supreme Court has just ratified the establishment of a police state. The Court has ruled that racial profiling is legal, that merely speaking Spanish or having skin pigmentation a shade darker than lily white is sufficient to warrant apprehension and arrest.
We have seen, in recent months, check points pop up on the streets of this country. We have witnessed the introduction of U.S. Military into the streets of our cities. We have seen people, many U.S. Citizens pulled from cars, and taken off the streets by masked armed men with no identifications and no search warrants. We have seen teams of ICE agents raid homes and business, churches and public gatherings dressed like an army of occupation, as if America were Faluja. We have seen all this with no due process as people simply “disappear”. No one knows where they have been taken, nor for how long, or if they will ever return.
The United States has become, overnight, a police state with nary a whisper of protest. The fascists have come to power.
Twenty or so years ago as I was working my third job at a rail plant in Winder, Georgia, a colleague would rave about what he was hearing on hate radio from Alex Jones. “You got to listen to this”, he would opine. I listen, for about ten minutes.
Jones was ranting on about a supposed “concentration camp” near Gaylord Michigan, under construction, he said. I pointed out that he was paranoid, that the camp in question was a National Guard training facility and the fences were there to keep people from wandering into a military training base. The base had been there for at least 40 years. Nothing new here. Jones was paranoid delusional.
But now, when the building of such camps are openly financed and announced, where is the outrage? Where is Jones when we need him? Silence, acquiescence, capitulation. So much for the freedom warrior turned political whore.
All of this from the fetid mind of Reich Dorkshiner Steven Miller who, ironically following the template of fascist regimes south of the boarder (1), has instituted a veritable reign of terror across the entire country. People are being accosted in the streets, stopped a check points, arrested at court hearings, at places of work as well as places of worship. Nowhere is safe.
The country is about to pay a fearful price for this loss of freedom. Over 40 percent of our farm labor force is undocumented. Crops are left rotting as the labor to harvest them has been driven, by this terror, from the fields. As the nation begins to suffer from spiking grocery prices as well as a general inflation brought on by the breathless ignorance of our once and present Caesar, Americans will discover that the pain of fascist incompetence will spare no one, least of all what is left of the American middle class. When it is “our Ox” that is being gored, when it is “we” they now come for, then the ensuing revolt, perhaps revolution. We cannot depend upon our institutions, our political parties nor, it transpires, our elections to save us.
Impeach and Imprison
