Catch a Bloody Knife

The US military will no longer report on the hunger strikers it holds at the concentration camp in Guantanamo. Tick, tock and open up a fresh barrel of ugliness, let us become intoxicated on money liquor and madness. A police officer murders an unarmed bible college honor student; the chief offers the officer has an extensive background in law enforcement, having worked eight different jobs in nine years. The dead shed tears for the living as the living don't know they're dead yet.

The occupation forces in Afghanistan report the 16 transport planes purchased by the US tax payer at a cost of $500 million for the Afghan Air force are a total loss. Nearly half have been cannibalized for parts and sit in the weeds, while the culprits sit in soft clover. Misdemeanors in the rape of the innocents, murdering babies in the United States of Wal-mart and before the spring comes, malnutrition for American children will become as common as dandelions. A working single mother with two small children, earning just a bit over minimum wage, never but never, working forty hours per week is entitled to $50 a week in food stamps.

In answer to the expected, anticipated, and gleeful joy at the prospect of starving American children, the Department of Homeland Degradation is spending $80 million for added security measures anticipating food riots. Spending eighty million tax dollars to protect the government from you its citizens! Defense Secretary, Chuck Hagel warns (warns) the Pakistani government, it risks losing aid after Pakistani human beings, block supply routes protesting the slaughter of their brothers, sisters, husbands, wives and children by US drone attacks. This is the mindset of their criminal madness. Money is more important, it's the money Uber Allis philosophy, and if you dare disrupt the schedule of the Gestapo of the skies, we'll take our revenge in coin.

Only once before in modern human history has a world power begun a ten-year aggressive military campaign, cloaked as defensive war. Murder is the order of the day, blood is the uniform. Shame our badge, eternal its duration. Here is a morsel worthy of a good long savor; on November 1st a CIA drone strike killed the leader of the Pakistani Taliban. The CIA is an intelligence agency, not military, but murders with impunity. No trials, no courtrooms or pesky laws of human decency to slow the process. American Fascism rolls on seeking to rule the world from 30,000 feet with a gun in one hand and checkbook in the other.

Except that those of us who feel this shame, who mark its burgeoning and relevant existence among us, are not the ones in power, the ones doing the fascist, evil deeds that warrant this shame. Those power mongers feel justified -- achieving absolute hegemony is their right, "proven" by Darwin's "survival of the fittest."

And, what they do to the Hoi Polloi -- or in spite of us -- is simply paternalism: they are mentally and emotionally stronger (read "better than&quot the vast unwashed masses.

How dare we suggest that their hubris is, or should be, a source of shame?

"Because man is by nature evil, he therefore needs dominion. But dominion can be established, that is, men can be unified only in a unity against - against other men." - Carl Schmitt paraphrased by Leo Strauss.
