No Awareness of the Real Situation [1]

So, how goes your nightmare so far? The King issues 200 edicts hot off the billionaire’s Wet dream Wish list press and the Courts only object to one. That friends is ultimate power. Der Fuehrer won’t be allowed to call the Kaiser “Mr. Fancy Pants.” But everything else is okay.

You can sell anything in America, even horror, if you put enough sugar on it. Just perusing the low lights avoiding the lowest and most obvious venues. American media is happy about the deportations. “It’s good that you done that Anthony. It’s real good.” Blind to history and blind to themselves. They see not where they come from nor where that are headed only the heat of the moment.

During the early days of the Nazi regime, as their own peculiar deportations were beginning. The Nazi produced propaganda films of deportees in clean camps doing crafts, happy and healthy. To allay the German people’s fear and to put them to sleep. “Don’t worry about the camps; everything is fine. Everybody is happy. Everybody is always happy on the trail of tears. Hey look! Czechoslovakia!”

They create a monster which will only grow in size and fury. Machines need to eat, and machines designed to remove people from the population NEED some warm bodies to continue. They will find them somewhere, especially in an Administration savvy enough to plan first day mega media arrest spectaculars. This is all for the camera’s boys. We caught one gang member and one sex offender and several others with warrants. You arrest the most heinous first. Who could possibly disagree? Of course, criminals, gangbangers and creepies need to be deported. (Normalized yet?)

The cameras will soon fade away as the arrests become more and more common. (papers please) Then the arrest of criminal grandmas and future criminals under four feet tall can begin. The machine will work like a bulldozer not like tweezers. The machine will ask, how many migrants can be deported versus dollars spent? Machine’s work on statistics and natural avarice.

You see, my boss has this apple. And if I polish it up for him real nice, maybe he will promote me. Even though the box car is small you can always fit in a few more. My boss likes it when I do that. It makes the numbers look impressive. When the goal is numbers for the press, you’ll get numbers.

Happy healthy Japanese families living joyous lives in tar paper shacks freezing in the desert behind barbed wire. God Bless America! God Bless John Wayne and Mickey Mouse too!

There are stories though they be somewhat hard to find in American media these days of unexcused absences from work. Mass no shows for the pickings. All the news that fits the agenda! Nobody wants to read that. “It’s good that you did that Anthony, it was real good. Just like Joe Stalin or the Nazis. It was real good you did that Anthony.” I’ll wager in the years to come the budget to deport people just grows and grows. These things have a habit of growing and growing. Godzilla started out as a house pet.

It is hard to watch knowing where we are headed. Store your rare books somewhere safe in a deep dry cave. Fill your basements with handguns and hard liquor. Someday it might be the only currency of value. You can always trade with handguns and hard liquor. Move your money overseas. Or better still, take it there yourself. Someplace nice and not potentially a nuclear target.

The Russian response to the King’s edict is in. “Oh yeah? How dare you speak to us like that!” Other than that, it goes well. Four years ago, the King demanded NATO bring their defense spending to 2.5% percent of GDP. Yesterday the King raised his demand to 5% of GDP. Money for nothing or does the King have future plans? Just blowing smoke maybe? After Russia, who else would they fight? Potential Greenland peace keeping force maybe?

The media was embedded in the deportation arrests just like in Afghanistan. The helicopters are running down the criminal Montag. Yes, they’ve located him! There he is, the criminal Montag! What they will do to someone else’s children today, they will do to yours someday. The King wants to end birthright citizenship so he could even deport you if the urge were to strike him.

If you wrote unflattering articles about him or something. Fortunately, we have a free press working for wages. They’ll always stand up and do the right thing regardless of mortgage or financial obligations. They don’t give a shit if the boss’s apple gets a little dusty or tarnished. They don’t want your stinking raise or promotion; they just want to tell the truth. “It’s good you did that Anthony. It’s real good you did that.”

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn
