Orwell warns, “. . . don’t let it happen . . .”

We did let it happen. The Federal government is “nearly” 100% composed of every sort of vile human being ever to walk the earth. Liars, thieves, child molesters, murderers, rapists, cowards and on and on.

The current unelected President is signing executive orders as fast as his arthritic hand can manipulate a pen to paper. The legislative branch of swine are hiding behind their new concertina wire topped fence with thousands of armed guards passing legislation to further remove the rights of the people. Approximately 100 million of these people are at the end of their patience. Possibly even a greater number.

The Federal gov is a totally illegitimate group of thugs. We know this is true. The gov goons know we know now. Zero gov investigation of election “irregularities”. Irregularities? How ’bout massive international fraud.

Why the unending attacks on Donald J. Trump? The criminals are behind the fenced area of DC and outside all over the land we call USA.

There is no law, friends.

FICUS is signing nothing. Someone else is. Twitching marionettes and sock puppets are too weak to hold a bic.

The problem with Orwell’s warning is that today there is no longer a “We.”

Reading tonight how Ted Cruz is shitting on Trump. You see, his election fraud complaint is all unsubstantiated and unproven, we are supposed to believe.

See: my rant before about the fukking voting machines. Vote fraud is both plausible, and probable; Cruz can shove it up his lawyerly ass.

Oh, it was “never proven in court.” Like I am supposed to eat that dung like a geek eats his puss.

I’ve got something unsubstantiated: Covid. That is mathematics: where are the dead in the streets in the millions? How about Marxism? How’s that go, Einstein? Proven evil in dozens of countries around the world. Track record of success: zero wins.

Anyway, words don’t work on these DC morons anymore. If you are a Republican in DC, you are dead to me. I know ye not.

Orwell speaks from the grave and I wish it was all fiction. GD the writers, anyway. Ripping off the bandage.

Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020

Once by the Pacific

The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.
The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.
You could not tell, and yet it looked as if
The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
The cliff in being backed by continent;
It looked as if a night of dark intent
Was coming, and not only a night, an age.
Someone had better be prepared for rage.
There would be more than ocean-water broken
Before God’s last Put out the light was spoken.

— Robert Frost

At the Sulzberger’s Summer Home

Bright blooms of flame spattered shadows on that tide
Whose strangling fingers clawed into our lands,
And scraped out slots, fresh graves upon our sands.

A far-off signal flared and sputtering fell,
Its bloom of sparks erupting deep in slate,
But, like our last edition, this signal came too late.

The drumming bursts of broken cannons
Stomped along the edges of our gilded cage,
And faded like the lies we smeared on our front page,

Faded until all we heard of want or wish or war
Were the screams of our grandchildren slain
Beyond our gilded sand, upon our once fruited plain.

— Van der Leun

Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
