The cities are quickly being turned into military armed camps.

The scary part is this is only the beginning.  Fade to Black.  The Darkness is upon us.

Trump is committed to destruction.  He is right out there with his commitment to destroying America, and I re-post a video he just published to show it. 

Like deer in headlights most people are blinded and frozen in place by Trumps unbridled narcissism.  People like Trump are so bent they are incomprehensible to an average man. 

The resulting confusion prevents people from knowing the enemy.



Project 2020 is a thing.  The Fourth Reich rises, and it is American.

Although it is sometimes said History Rhymes, in Trumpolini's case I think it's more accurate to say it's being PLAGIARIZED.  At least Hitler was a good speaker.  Fucking Trump can't even write a grammatically correct tweet.

American ICE is Sturmabteilung Lite.

Political intimidation, violently confronting opponents, protecting rallies, to ensure the Republican Party's rise to power.

The description rhymes with 1930.

Marx said, one thing he knew for sure was that he is not a Marxist.  Jesus knew he was not a Christian too.  Jesus had different values.  Jesus died on a cross.  He did not wear one around his neck.

Chris Hedges says that he is not a Marxist.  When I heard that the first thing that went through my mind was -- "don't be so chickenshit" --, which instantly made no sense.  Chris takes risks.  Lots of them.  Listening to him more, I get it over my nonsense and agree.

Marx new to base his analysis in real material conditions, but he was an idealist in his own way.

The state can't wither away,  it must exist in an appropriate form of power, existing to restrain inappropriate bourgeois power.  Men like Donald Trump will always come along with their elite bourgeois perversions of state power.  They must be restrained.

If the state withers away, evil fills the vacuum.  This is what happened in America.  The state withered away by discarding its social function, transmuting itself into an arm of rich and powerful business interests shrinking to an elite core.  Now evil fills the vacuum.  The state is a tool of class rule, but it is also an essential protector against anarchy and individual predation.  Angry people forget this, and only see one side of the coin.  The very abuses of power that Marx sought to eliminate demands an enduring, organized political power.

How long before we start getting open firefights in the cities with Nat Guard troops?  This is of course what Trumpolini wants, he's deliberately trying to provoke violence as an excuse to grab more power.  Straight out of the Nazi playbook.  Add in the impending goobermint shutdown and you have all the ingredients for total chaos in place.

Will we even make it to the midterm elections?

Is it possible to make a difference?  I don't know, but I try anyway.

I have a new article under the globe.  'Lazarus Rises' Click on the globe to read it. 

When my website was separate from the Diner I would have re-posted it here.  But since my original website is now inside the Diner there is no point of that.  Just  click on the globe.

I'm pretty surprised they haven't made the sale of "Burner Phones" illegal.  Maybe because spies use them all the time?

In other newz, now when you travel to Europe, everybody has their fingerprints scanned when they go through customs.  I wouldn't be surprised if pretty soon they scan your fingerprints as soon as your parents register you for school.

Next up, you get chipped at birth.

The SIM Swarm: How a 100,000-Card Farm Exposes Critical Flaws in Mobile Security

The recent U.S. Secret Service takedown of a massive telecommunications network, boasting 300 SIM servers and over 100,000 SIM cards, reveals a sophisticated threat landscape evolving beyond simple phishing. This "SIM swarm" infrastructure represents a scalable weapon for espionage, denial-of-service attacks, and widespread social engineering, fundamentally undermining the trust we place in mobile networks as a secure authentication factor.
