Nothing causes falls and broken bones like a thin layer of snow on an icy surface.
Reports of fake news, truth flakes, swirl around us. The election circus is over. The presidential burlesque begins, with rumors, speculations, blah blabla and talk of fake news. It’s a show, Dorothy. The whole thing is fake.
Nothing dances center stage on the mainstream media (msm) unless the powers-that-be want it to be there.
The msm defends and promotes the prevailing order which obeys the dictates of money. That’s the bottom line. The money-oriented trajectory of the ruling order determines all political projects regardless of the different administrators. If nature need be ravished and humanity sacrificed, so be it.
The communications falling like snowflakes hide the dangers under foot. The fake-news ”revelation” implies that the news in general isn’t fake while applying makeup to the new chief administrator. The show must go on.
If we step back and take a look at what is happening instead of listening to what they’re saying, we see a battle among the victims hiding the intrigues of the rulers. The citizens are more divided and antagonistic toward one another than ever before. The laughter of the rulers can’t be heard as they rearrange their vaults to accommodate even more money that impending tax breaks are about to bring. The people fight among themselves instead of uniting against the rulers who will continue to impoverish and endanger them all. And the world at large.
Fake news? How about no news? During an entire year of election coverage Israel (USA’s de facto 51st State) demolished, on an average of one a day, a Palestinian home to make room for an Israeli settler. No reason, no justification, no moral, no excuse. We are not talking about makeshift or temporary homes, but solid constructions housing ordinary people. How can a crime such as this go on day after day for a year while both fake and real news fail to mention it? Not only fail to mention it, but the candidates restate time and again their unflinching support for the regime responsible for this savagery. Now that the election is over and the burlesque show takes over the Zionists have begun tearing down entire villages in the south … while fake and real news seem not to notice.
This is but one of 1000s of examples of real no-news. The whole thing is fake. Nothing that exposes the vicious predatory nature of the ruling order gets into the msm. Except as a little notice exceptionally or despite the efforts of the rulers.
Watch out for the snowflakes! They can hide the icy dangers below.

Medieval Conservaties = medcons
The election circus is over. The Trump show takes over. Monsters replace the clowns, but the same word-jugglers, analists (sic) and trollsperts continue to spread speculations, gossip and prognosis as though they were saying something. What is the Trumpster going to do? They may as well ask what happens when you add 1 + 1. We know what is going to happen.
Local Trumpsters, medcons (medieval conservatives), have come to power in several cities and states. They all do the exact same thing with variations. They cut taxes and restraints on the rich and cut social services and benefits for the poor. Every time. Or, to put it in the vernacular, they enrich the rich and fuck everyone else.
Medcon Snyder promised that a ”shared sacrifice” (in Michigan) would stimulate the economy. He raised the taxes on pensions, lowered them for corporations and forced poisoned water on 100 000 people in the city of Flint. Drinking sludge laced with lead was the sacrifice of the poor people in Flint. The fat cats had to worry about the supply of champagne.
When the medcons took over in North Carolina (2010) promising to allow the people to ”keep more of their hard-earned money” full spectrum war was conducted on public services while the squeeze on millionaires pushed them into new Porsches. The cuts to medical services would result in 455 to 1145 deaths a year according to a study by health experts at Harvard university.
Instead of more examples of medcon politics enriching the already rich and impoverishing the already struggling, allow me to summerize:
Trump, the highest ranking medcon official, is going to do to the USA what medcon Snyder did to Flint. To start with.

I would like to submit my nomination for the stupidest statement of 2016.
On Nov. 9, in reference to Trump’s election victory, Paul Craig Roberts titled his blog with this, my nomination:
The Working Class Won The Election
I’m eager to hear any nomination that can exceed that one in stupidity. Should we envision working class people giddy with success over their billionaire buddy at the wheel of the ship of state? Can we expect their mirth to sour somewhat when Trump’s billionaire buddies (and himself) find themselves at the receiving end of tax cuts, paid for with cuts to social services? Oh, come on, do you really expect him to improve the condition of the working class at the expense of his own class? There comes a point when gullibility reaches criminal proportions.
A runner up to the working-class-victory headline could be the stupidity that followed it.
The US presidential election is historic, because the American people were able to defeat the oligarchs.
Have you seen a field of defeated oligarchs littering the ground with $100 notes oozing out of their pockets? Roberts means of course the Democrat election oligarchs, the oligarchs behind and around him are not subject to negative terms. And don’t hold your breath waiting for him to use the more accurate word Plutocrat.
In any case, those are my nominations. Do you have any?

We are a long way from home
and poorly equipped.
The way is long, crooked, difficult
and dangerous.
Were it not for our magic weapon
we wouldn’t have a chance.
You don’t know about the magic weapon, do you?
Of course you don’t
even though you’ve been carrying it all the time.
The weapon isn’t really magic,
but it’s more potent
than your imagination.
And it’s not really a weapon,
but reaches beyond your dreams.
How can you possess this mighty power
and not know it?
Because the people who want to hide it from you
don’t really hide it
but see to it
that you don’t look for it.
They divert your attention.
They speak of every kind of energy
but yours.
They speak of oil, coal, fusion,
waterfalls, windmills, fire,
electricity, solar cells,
machines, robots, rockets,
computers, nanotech
and on and on and on
about every form and shape of energy
—power—
but yours,
your intelligent energy.
You are a form of intelligent energy.
Nothing compares to it.
Nothing.
No power
—energy—
has its strength or potential.
Nothing.
Look at you!
Can you stretch your hands
?
wiggle your fingers
?
stand and walk
?
see, hear, taste, feel, smell?
You are a complete form of intelligent energy.
You can do anything everyone can do.
That’s enough
to do
what needs to be done
to find our way home
if
IF
you unlock the magic weapon
and release its power.
You own the power of life.
The power that has covered the earth
with soil so deep and rich
it can hold mighty forests
with birds that can sing
smiles on your heart,
with flying seeds,
dancing leaves
and proud flowers
dispensing beauty
pregnant with promises
of sweet and generous fruits.
This power lives within you
waiting to obey your intelligence.
The power of life
—the child of the sun—
knows all the secrets
and provides all you need to know
to discover anything you have to know
to do what needs to be done.
You own the power of life.
Listen to it!
Talk to it!
Trust it!
Obey it!
Command it!
You are a part of life
and entitled to all the privileges
and all the benefits
and all the power it possesses.
Now
let’s go home,
together.

“Life began

absorbing

every cell of living organisms
in every corner of the world.
Vibrate in harmony!
Unite!”

More than 90% of commentary about the election results comes across as pure silliness against the background of the USA is an empire. Unfortunately, the common understanding of empire doesn’t go deeper than big and powerful. If people knew the nature of empire, the rise of degenerate leaders would not surprise them. Decadent weirdoes typically stand on the bridge of an imperial ship. Even people with no knowledge of history have heard of Caligula and Nero, who, BTW, is said to have dipped Christians in oil and used them as candles in his garden. Rulers of the Roman Empire, as in all empires, were typically vicious tyrants. An empire breeds perverse tyrants as surely as serpents breed snakes.
An empire is a colossal enterprise of conquest, theft and control managed by a tiny group of the wealthiest and most powerful individuals. Always! Without exception. The conditions and circumstances vary, but not the essence of an empire as an enterprise of conquest run by little gang of power-perverted, greed-diseased, glorious thieves and murderers dressed in prestigious trappings. Always! Without exception.
The digitally wired empire of the day manages such extensive influence over the minds of the people that referring to the rulers as thieves and murders shocks the senses of the average citizen even though the claim is easily verified. We can read that less than 100 individuals own 50% of the world’s resources without reflecting on theft; as though the wealth was accumulated by hard work.
An army of hacks, pundits, journalists, agents and academics supplemented by a constant flow of cultural productions disperse the myth that the accumulation of wealth should be attributed to cleverness, implying, as a bonus, that the wealthy and successful are intelligent people. While cleverness forms a vital ingredient of many success stories, without the structural organization of the empire oiled by the blood of tens of millions of people, smarts can no more produce wealth than a camera without a lens can produce pictures.
Anyone referring to the illustrious rulers as murderers immediately becomes disqualified to render political comment. Such is the power of conventional imperial wisdom regardless of rivers of blood alongside the boots and under the bombs of the empire. Four million murders from Vietnam and Iraq alone should be enough. But it isn’t! So what’s the use of tallying the lives of Palestinians, Afghanis, Yemenis, Indonesians, Syrians, Libyans, Bosnians, Koreans and many other people? We don’t have to believe the figure stating 60 million deaths from American military violence since WWII. The four million first mentioned should be enough. Should!
The list of non-military deaths probably exceeds 60 million, but the numbers aren’t necessary to establish the deadly facts. We cannot point to any particular murderer for the deaths harvested yearly from environmental causes through our food, water and air, but obesity alone (100 million people) contributes to 100s of thousands of medical problems, sufferings and deaths. These afflictions are generated by the fuck-health-promote-profits structure of the empire. Who bears responsibility for the suicides of 8000 veterans a year mainly under the fuck-treatment-stuff-them-with-profitable-pills imperial standard? Who should be charged with the deaths caused by medical treatment (third most common cause of deaths after cancer and heart ailments)? Trigger-happy police gun down unarmed kids and get away with it. How can we expect to charge the smiling slime floating at the top of society with any crime, much less murder? Even when the chief executive acknowledges approval to drone-and-hellfire kill women and children time and time again the murders transform into a phrase of collateral damage and the empire marches on. Murder is not murder when done by imperial dignitaries unless they grab the victim’s throat in their teeth and rip out their jugular vein, which, of course, is not going to happen. They never even dirty their manicures.
We’re living in and under an empire, Dorothy. Choosing or complaining about which power-perverted, greed-diseased degenerate stands in the spotlight is like choosing between a wolf or a fox to guard the chickens. At a time when the empire may kill all of humanity in a climate catastrophe, nuclear war or both squabbling about the psychopath in chief qualifies as criminal foolishness.
Many things can be done, but engaging in the games of the rulers and playing by imperial rules is not one of them. The masters of the empire are the enemy not sporting opponents. Survival is no game. Do you smoke, drink sodas, frequent junk restaurants, subscribe to corporate publications or entertainment services, take part in their elections, shop where workers are underpaid, eat food containing palm oil, stand during the national anthem, fail to embrace humanity as your main identity… ? These are a few of the things supporting the empire. Without your support the empire can’t stand. With your support we all perish. That’s the real and only choice.

The priests of the media
dance on words
and pray
that the tears of anger, frustration and despair
will transform into a rain
of change
making everyone happy
with their obedience
to the prevailing order
as the cracks in the empire widen
releasing ever more
greed-diseased slime
into the cesspool
of the money-oriented domain.
The stench chokes the soul
as the rulers put
hammers and nails
into the hands of their administrators
to sacrifice humanity
on the cross
of wealth and power.
