52nd State of Trump

On New Year's Day according to ABC News, President Maduro of Venezuela said in a TV interview that Venezuela was open to negotiating an agreement with the United States to combat drug trafficking. U.S. Southern Command enacted plans to abduct the President Maduro and his wife. US Southern Command had been building up forces in the Caribbean over the last year, conducting missile attacks on fast boats purported to be drug traffickers. Over a hundred had been killed by drones and missiles and survivors were also killed to wrap up the deadly mission. Maduro declined to comment on the recent CIA-led strike and reiterated that the U.S. wanted to force a government change in Venezuela and gain access to its vast oil reserves. In December Peter Hesgeth axed the previous commander, Adm. Alvin Holsey, who had expressed his misgivings about the air strikes on these boats.

On January 3, 2026 #47 gave the green light to SouthCom and the the recently appointed Lt. Gen. Francis L. Donovan sent over one-fifty air vehicles to strike Bolivar military installations. According to the operation involved the Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor, Lockheed Martin F-35A/C Lightning II, Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, Boeing EA-18G Growler, Grumman E-2D Hawkeye, Rockwell B-1B Lancer, Boeing CH-47F Chinook, Sikorsky CH-53K King Stallion, Bell UH-1Y Venom, Bell AH-1Z Viper, Boeing AH-64E Apache, Sikorsky UH-60M Black Hawk, refueling tankers, electronic-warfare (EW) planes, other support aircraft, and numerous unmanned aerial vehicles including the Lockheed Martin RQ-170 Sentinel. Trump said the United States "had a fighter jet for every possible situation."

Why not use it all? Glutton 47 pressed the red button on the crisis room in FLA and smiled smelling the can of Diet Coke, as if it was the most the expensive wine on the planet and thought, "Diet Coke smells like victory."

Trump watched with Secretary of War lurching over his shoulder in Mar-e-Lago, the White House South. During a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida 47 said to his sycophantic press corps, "We will run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition. "We will run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition." and that this attack was not only for Venezuela drug involvement, but to recapture the oil facilities seized from the US oil companies. Venezuela has the world's # 1 oil reserves. I'll let you guess who will pay for this venture.

Not 47.

Not the billionaires.

Not the fundamentalist churches.

Not the oil companies.

And not the Sacklers, whose drug dealings killed over a million Americans. We the people is who.

Resistance might seem futile, but even the Brits were thrown out of most of Ireland after 800 years and three attempts of exterminating the Irish race. Free Palestine.

ps As President Maduro was escorted to his arraignment by DEA agents, he wished the press and everyone else and Happy 2026.

ps the US military reported eighty or so dead civilians as collateral damage. Another job badly done. But who in the Trump regime gives a shit about anyone other than their greedy themselves.

Jean Rostand's quote “Kill one man, and you are a murderer. Kill millions of men, and you are a conqueror. Kill them all, and you are a god."

Thoughts of a Biologist ― Jean Rostand

pps to paraphrase Rostand, "Kill one person you get sent to prison. Kill several and you are sent to mental hospital. Kill a few millions and you visit your Swiss chalet."

THE FUTURE IS NOT OURS TO SEE

A crack hotel underneath the Broadway El in Brooklyn sported a TRUMP 2020 banner throughout last year's electoral process. No one sprayed grafitti over the walls and no one protested about the Orange-man's attempt to get votes in Bushwick. I was never able to find the Trump HQ in that neighborhood, but thankfully Trump lost, despite of the spectacular vote of the religious right of all colors and nationalities.

Now the poster is gone.

Trump has been investigated for treason about the January 6 seizure of the US Capitol Building by his followers. The Justice Department have most recently discovered that the cell phones of all the Secret Service have erased all data from the day in question.

ie - destruction of evidence.

Trump once said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it.

I never doubted that, since the rich are never guilty of anything.

Still it would be nice to see Trump wrestled to the ground in a chokehold.

We can only dream.

Big Pharma Bust

Opium has been a blessing and bane for people suffering from pain for over 5000 years.

According to M J Brownstein's "A Brief History of Opiates the Sumerians called the plant hul gil or the "joy plant, although the Egyptian priests reserved its use for the nobility and religious classes. After the collapse of the Roman Empire Europe was cut off from opium and Muslim traders cargoed the black tar to China, addicting an ancient culture to 'ma' or 马. Nothing was more profitable over the centuries of China Trade.

The world of the golden triangle.

And nothing earns more in today's economy.

In the last decade Big Pharma trafficked in opioids through the synthetic Oxycodone.

The Insys executives courted doctors to prescribe the pills for the smallest of ills. They bribed politicians to pass the drug through the FDA tests. It was declared harmless and millions of Americans have been addicted to the fentanyl-based pill and are ODing ata rate of 100 a day.

Last week at the Jets game Mickey crashed and burned in the top row. His friend said he was okay. Foam bubbled from his mouth. His breathing slowed to a sallow gasp. I called security. His friend left him.

"He gets like this all the time."

I tried it once for a sore knee.

I slept like a dead man.

It's bad stuff and this week Insys' billionaire chief executive was arrested in Arizona on RICO charges.

There is no mention of bail, but his companies have contributed to the deaths of over 300,000 Americans. More than any terrorist in ISIS. Killing people is not a crime for capitalism as long as there is profit.

ps finally an American president declares the opioid epidemic a problem.

Only twenty years after Purdue Pharma releasing the drug onto the marketplace to earn $31 billion in profits.

Their CEO is Craig Landau.

Another murderer.

Purdue Pharma paid $600 million in fines. The three top executives served 400 hours in public service. Craig Landau paid $31 million in penalties.

No one went to jail.

Not John Spaceley.

He liked China White.

Steve McQueen Wanted Dead Or Alive

Steve McQueen achieved national recognition for his role as Josh Randall in the TV western WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE. The King of Cool parlayed his anti-hero persona in this series to win a lead in THE GREAT ESCAPE, which catapulted his name into the bright lights of Hollywood.

His portrayal of a rebel sold well to the youth of America, however McQueen was a staunch republican, who strongly supported the war in Vietnam.

His conservative politics clashed with his riotous behavior leading to a 1972 arrest for driving while intoxicated in Anchorage, Alaska. McQueen was supposedly drinking on 4th Avenue, the city's toughest neighborhood and decided to do donuts in his rented Oldsmobile for the crowd of drunks, miners, hunters, and whores. The police stopped his antics and he responded to their request for a sobriety test by somersaulting down the street.

His audience applauded his exploits. They booed the police for arresting the entertainment. McQueen spent the night in jail.

It took a lot of get arrested for DWI back in 1972.

In the morning he paid bail and flew to California.

An arrest for Steve McQueen remained open until his death.

The star of BULLITT was a happy arrestee and flashed the peace sign for his mug shot, proving once more the veracity of Tom Wolfe's quote.

"A liberal is a conservative who has been arrested."

How true. How true.

Where's Ralph

Last Saturday I went down to Ralph's Meats on Lafayette. The Fort Greene institution had its metal shutters down and a police poster announced that the deli was closed until further notice pursuant to gun and drug charges stemming from a 2012 arrest. I was hoping that the DA might have seen irregularities in the case, but this latest event shows that the City will attempt to prosecute the Mayor of Fort Greene. Personally I hope it never gets to trial, because Ralph is good people.

Taboo in The Tiki Theater

Yesterday TV funny man Fred Willard for lewd behavior at the Tiki Theater by an undercover LAPD officer at 8:45pm. At first I thought the arrest had occurred at the Tiki Cineplex, which is featuring Ice Age: Continental Drift, Ted, The Amazing Spider-Man, Brave, Magic Mike, and Savages on its multi-screens, although none of those movies are possible of rising an erection, so further research discovered the location of the Tiki Theater in Hollywood. At one time scores of XXX theaters and porno parlors lined the streets of Hollywood. Police harassment, political pressure, religious outrage, and more importantly the advent of online sex sites shut down the Babylon of the west and The Tiki has survived on Santa Monica Boulevard as LA's last XXX straight porno theater as well as the last with a turnstile entrance. Online reviews of the Tiki are hilarious; For a $10 admission, an elderly Korean man pushes a paper raffle ticket under a bulletproof glass screen that looks like it's been slathered in Vaseline. A sign next to it reads NO WEAPONS, NO DRUGS, NO SEX OF ANY KIND (that means you too, dog fuckers). You click through a well worn turnstile and try hard not to touch any surface as you make your way through heavy, black velvet curtains into 900 square ft room with 30 theater style folding chairs. A quarter of the audience is wearing hooded sweaters and smoking crack, another quarter is jerking off, the rest are jerking each other off, cruising for a jerk off or doing something so vile you probably wouldn't want to see it. Let's assume they're hiding murder weapons or making a list of items to add to their next rape kit. Appropriately enough, the bathroom is in the theater to the right of the screen so if you are looking for some uh, privacy - the Tiki is sensitive to your needs. If group masturbation isn't exactly your thing, you'll be relieved to know that there's a well worn stall about 50 paces from your seat. You sit through a half-hour of amateur porn until the moans and groans from the audience work your last nerve. You quickly exit the theater and immediately head to the nearest bar where you try and drink away the memory of the last hour. And in case you were wondering the name of the movie I saw was POONTANG CLAN. harleyguy88 on July 12, 2010 at 4:26 pm this place is truly filthy and run down. when i was there it was scummy and dark. i could see by the flickering screen crackheads scrounging around the floors for pieces of coke. they would light up and smoke whatever they would find. this continued the entire time. it stank of dirty butthole in here, big time. also worth mentioning a guest appearance from the neighborhood “lady of the night”, walking in and looking like joe namath in drag who serviced almost everyone in the theater, including my throbbing man meat. hey, whatever, a hole’s a hole and all discretion and good judgement leave you once you step foot in this den of base and disgusting human behavor. seriously the nastiest place in los angeles, not for the faint of heart. beware. One reviewer actually witnessed the arrest; 7/19/2012 I really have experienced better. But before I give my sincere firsthand experience I have to talk about all the commotion that was going on while I was there last night. I was at the Tiki taking in the midnight movie and while I was getting comfortable with myself there was this bickering and some cops popped out and arrested this old man. Judging from these comments Willard's lawyer was not wrong in telling the press the following; “With all due respect to the individual officer, our belief is that Fred did nothing in any violation of any law. We will be working vigorously to clear his name in this matter". Hopefully justice will be done.

MIstaken Identity

Mexico's war on drugs has claimed over 55,000 lives in the past six years of President Calderon's rule. The police and army have been corrupted by traffickers shipping cocaine and marijuana to the USA. Last week officials claimed to have arrested the son of a notorious drug lord. The DEA were quick to congratulate the successful capture and the news media crowed about yet another turning point in the war on drugs only to later discover that the arrestee was a car salesman with no connection to the Sinoloa drug cartel. Thankfully he doesn't seem to have been beaten into admitting that he was who the drug officials wanted him to me, but someone may have already been paid $5 million for the information leading to this fake arrest. Opps. President Obama remains firmly committed to battling the drug lords of America down to the last joint sold in a medical marijuana store, but Uruguay has decided to sell marijuana from state stores to curtail the rise in murders between drug gangs. The government seeks to register all reefer smokers, but if marijuana is legal, then it should be legal to grow it for self-use. Costa Rica and Guatemala are also considered the decriminalization of drugs. Police are in favor of the legislation. The Church is worried about the souls of pot smokers. The Senate will have to decide on the controversial measure in the months to come. Hopefully they will come out for full legalization. The War of Drugs has been lost. It's time for someone to admit 'mission unaccomplished'.

I Fought The Law

On August 23, 1973 accidental actor Mark Frechette was arrested for bank robbery a few blocks away from Mel Lyman's commune in Boston. Boston police responded to the silent alarm and shot dead of his accomplices.. Mark threw his gun on the floor. It was unloaded. Bail was set at $2500. He didn't go to jail without a fight, but back then as now no one fought the law and won, unless you had money, and Frechette couldn't make the bail of $2500, since he had given his entire salary for ZABRISKI POINT to Mel Lyman. Those were the days.
