Had to put this alternative universe take on upcoming events:
Consider this a warning to keep in the back of your minds as you discuss who is cuter, Antonio Bandaras or Prosecutor Fitzgerald?
I put it into poem form to be even more annoying:
- Bush advocates for the American plutocracy
Built on privateered WWII plunder.
His family position and wealth
Came entirely from dealing with the Axis.
The House of Saud are the massively wealthy
Benefactors of WWII resource plunder despite alliance
With fascists.
Germany, Asia, Africa and Europe were looted
And most of the Fascist controlled Capital
And the Fascists
Moved to the US and the Americas
And bought Senate seats, CIA directorships
And Presidencies.
Family Bush and House Saud are best friends
Literally kissing
And holding hands
Yet they are the heads of quasi-theocratic regimes
That are amazingly both allies and rivals
Depending on who you talk to.
The Producer requires the Consumer to Exist
And Vice Versa
Yet their empires are being redrawn
Dividing up the world unconquered by the cold war
In a show battle of proxy opposing forces
The Clone Wars
So that one may claim it all in the end.
The Defense needs the Attack to Exist
And Vice Versa
The US and SA are the two countries in all the world
That few countries dare turn against
At the same time.
Either you are with us or against us.
But what if they are the same thing?
Are there are no other choices?
That is the real question, now that
Bush is being sacrificed
To keep the fire he started lit.
How will they write the end of this myth
Of one Nation
Consuming the Other –
When all they are really doing is consumating
They eloped long ago, unabashedly
Literally kissing and holding hands
The rice at their wedding
Charred Bones and gold teeth and plunder
Remember these from the Memory Hole?
France was picked out by the right
As an enemy of the US
John Bolton was a real Freedom Fry
The UN was an unnecessary joke
But what ho?
Now France, John Bolton and the UN are providing legitimacy to a new War against Syria.
Is this not strangely symmetrical?
The only reason to go to war in a
Foreign country is to seek some economic benefit.
‘Preemption’ was a side bet.
The original benefit sought is still being reaped
Despite the lack of success on the ground
In fact, the inefficiency of the War
And Reconstruction
Means higher profits
For preferred stakeholders of War Mongers
Bush and Halliburton and Saud and Bin Laden Group
Carlyle and Blackwater
A war against Syria
or in Kashmir
or anywhere
will benefit the exact same people and agendas
Even if the ‘other’ side sells it to us.
Even if your Best Friend sells it to you
Want to know who the next ‘neo-cons’ you should watch out for are?
Shouldn’t you?
Are they wearing Blue ties or Red?
If there is War in Syria,
There will not be a draft
Despite our military being stretched further.
There will instead be a call
For the employ of private defense,
Intelligence and security corporations.
When this happens, sometime before 2012,
Fascism will finally have won WWII.
But now we are filling our heads with
Wet dreams of Mr. Fitzgerald’s file cabinets
A man hand picked by John Ashcroft.
What is really happening in the Big Game
While we sup on scapegoat meat?
Where has the other news gone?
Under the Corpse of Scooter Libby
( Scooter Libby will fight to put off jail
Only to be Pardoned in ’08 )
Protecting Cheney and Rove and the President
A job well done.
And in the mean time: WAR.
When is a man like Bush most likely to go to war?
When he seems least likely.
You know more War will come knocking
Even if we stop looking for it.
We don’t have to poke any more eyes
They are all bleeding
From Abu Ghraib and Lies and Death and Hunger
And Lies
Drums are beating in the distance
At home, everyone is still thinking small.
In WWII, we spent the equivalent of $14 Trillion dollars.
Bush has spent only a small fraction
Of what is to come
To light this fire that will consume Asia.
The Us doesn’t even have to be fighting
For prefered stakeholders to profit.
Even without Bush
We will outspend WWII in the same duration
Just you wait.
Even Kool-Aid capitalists know it is an unsustainable system on a global scale.
These men just want to control what comes
Next when the shit hits the fan.
They are choosing to preserve the system
That they control
Over the people they rule.
Too many people anyway, they guess.
Markets are working.
Logical, no?
This is how the Devil works.
Especially when we lose focus.
Even if the ‘pendulum’ of American politics
Swings as far left as you hope,
You must remember the lure of Fascism
To Progressives
If only you are willing to think Nation
Over Humanity.
And right now much of Humanity is on fire.
And doesn’t much care who is cuter:
Antonio Bandaras or Prosecutor Fitzgerald
