Sieg-Heil Trump - Elon Musk

A day after theocracy replaced democracy in America. Elon Musk, the world's richest man, thrilled the inaugural audience by twice sieg heiling after his speech. Joy enraptures the true believers, while the fallen moan their present fate.

There is a need for concern.

Trump won the election by more than a million votes, as Democratic voters abandoned Kamela Harris for her vague message, support of the Hamas genocide, and the fact that most American males will not vote for a woman.

It was no landslide, except in the Electoral College, a unique institution dating back to slavery days and slanted for the GOP thank to an aggressive campaign to gerrymand the congressional districts in their favor of a return to God.

Elon Musk responded to criticism by the media. "Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired."

Most of my Jewish friends voted for Trump, provong that some German Jews vote for Hitler.

A photgrapher friend texted that he couldn't beleive how much the religous right hates transgender people.

I wasn't. I had lived in the 1960s. By 1968 I was twisted, more a sexual adventurer than a queer, but I never accepted gay-bashing. Just recently a longtime Jewish friend of mine was arguing with his twelve year-old daugther that he didn't hate gays.

"I have gay friends."

"But you said if he touched you, you would punch him." She was more than mad. It wasn't my place to interfere with a discourse betwen a parent and a child, but I knew him well and said, "First, I know you almost fifty years. I've never seen you throw a punch. Secondly I do hate gays. I don't mind you lying to yourself or me, but don't lie to your daughter. It will bite you in your ass. Lastly don't fuck with a trannie. They will fuck you up."

The infamous John Spacely according to Wikipedia

feld LA to the East Village where his drug addiction got to the point where he was unable to work. He then returned to his life of hustling, focusing on the St. Mark's Place, where he became a popular street personality. Around this time, he got in an altercation with a drag queen, who along with some others attacked Spacely with chains, injuring his eye. After this incident, Spacely most often wore an eye patch over his damaged eye, because he did not have enough money to have the surgery needed to correct the eye.

"Never fuck with a drag queen."

Elon Musk should take heed.

He is a big guy, but a drag queen will beat a man senseless with her high heel. I've seen Kathoeys do it in Thailand. I cheered them on. Sie gesund, transfroys. ie Yiddish for trans woman.

Willa Cather’s WHEN I KNEW CRANE

An amazing passage from Willa Cather’s WHEN I KNEW CRANE about he meeting him several times in Omaha 1894.

Men will sometimes reveal themselves to children, or to people whom they think never to see again, more completely than they ever do to their confreres. From the wise we hold back alike our folly and our wisdom, and for the recipients of our deeper confidences we seldom select our equals. The soul has no message for the friends with whom we dine every week. It is silenced by custom and convention, and we play only in the shallows. It selects its listeners willfully, and seemingly delights to waste its best upon the chance wayfarer who meets us in the highway at a fated hour. There are moments too, when the tides run high or very low, when self-revelation is necessary to every man, if it be only to his valet or his gardener. At such a moment, I was with Mr. Crane.

The hope for revelation came unexpectedly enough. It was on the last night he spent in Lincoln. I had come back from the theatre and was in the Journal office writing a notice of the play. It was eleven o’clock when Crane came in. He had expected his money to arrive on the night mail and it had not done so, and he was out of sorts and deeply despondent. He sat down on the ledge of the open window that faced on the street, and when I had finished my notice I went over and took a chair beside him. Quite without invitation on my part, Crane began to talk, began to curse his trade from the first throb of creative desire in a boy to the finished work of the master. The night was oppressively warm; one of those dry winds that are the curse of that country was blowing up from Kansas. The white, western moonlight threw sharp, blue shadows below us. The streets were silent at that hour, and we could hear the gurgle of the fountain in the Post Office square across the street, and the twang of banjos from the lower verandah of the Hotel Lincoln, where the colored waiters were serenading the guests. The drop lights in the office were dull under their green shades, and the telegraph sounder clicked faintly in the next room. In all his long tirade, Crane never raised his voice; he spoke slowly and monotonously and even calmly, but I have never known so bitter a heart in any man as he revealed to me that night. It was an arraignment of the wages of life, an invocation to the ministers of hate.

ps I was there 100%. Great writing is not a mini-series.

Grown up LITTLE RASCALS

Children of the 1950s and 1960s were raised by the Bowery Boys, Three Stooges, and the Little Rascals. These show offered a different slant on life than Mickey Mouse. Our parents hated them. We watched them religiously every Saturday morning. The helped lead us into Revolution.

Seeing this photo of the Cast of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest Posing at Oregon State Hospital, Salem, 1974 I thought of those innocent Saturday mornings and how the inmates have taken over the assylum. Trump never watched the Three Stooges.

In 1975, while photographing on the set of the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Mary Ellen Mark met several women who lived on Ward 81 of the film’s location, the Oregon State Hospital in Salem

ps I doubt no Maga fanatic has read Ken Kesey's ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST. They like many Americans are non-literate.

Moneyless Americans

Americans don't have money. They have credit card debt. - James Steele - Fugitive

Americans are $1.8 trillion dollars in debt to banks. If there are lucky. The average credit card interest rate in America is 24.26% after the fourth straight monthly decrease in the wake of recent Federal Reserve rate cuts. Mostly spend on what they don't need or accumulating interest rates. Deconsume, children, and otherwise wait for International Write-Off Day. Realize you own nothing, but your debt which averages $6000 per Americans. Young, old, and dead.

I have no credit cards. I haven't for sixteen years. I have nothing to show for that time, except well-fed families in Thailand. Cash is freedom. Fuck cryto-currency. Just another scam by the wealthy scum.

GOOD DAYS FOR US ALL

I was born on May 29 1952 at Boston's Richardson House. My mother's labor had taken hours and she had always claimed that she had gone down to the Valley of Death to deliver me. I was born healthy, so my first day on Earth was a good one.

Many followed. Too many to come, but shared good days for the Grand Collective are much fewer.

In the 1950s the launch of Sputnik.

Man's first ascent to Space.

We were meant to be frightened by the success of the Soviet Empire, but my father brought us out to the backyard of our house on Falmouth Foresides, Maine and pointed out a speck of light traversing the night sky.

"This is a great moment."

The Maine native wasn't a Commie. He was an electrical engineer and loved Progress.

The next great days for humanity were the election of JFK in 1960 and the Berlin Airlift but that dark decade descended into tragedy with Kennedy's assassination followed by the murders of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King as well as the Viet-Nam War and the USSR crushing the Prague Uprising.

The 1960s was a time of despair until NASA reached the Moon and Woodstock lifted our hearts to a future of peace and love. Rock and Rock, freedom,and the power of peace.

The Age of Aquarium was cut short by Altamont.

We were a horror, but we didn't give up on our dreams, despite the Forces' of Evil relentless assault on Humanity.

We glorified Disco and Dancing during the Sexual Revolution. Richard Nixon was impeached by Congress. Punk liberated the Soviet Union. A black man, Barack Obama, was elected President and the Boston Red Sox finally broke the Babe Ruth Ruth Curse in 2004.

These events brought us together.

Too few, but as with the rescue of the Thai soccer players from the caves south of Mai Sai in 2018 we were one and we will be one again.

The Definition of Subexistence - 2024

Tuesday Donald Trump will be sworn into the Orange Messiah's third term in the White House. His election has devastated Democrats who lost ten million votes since 2020. They have been asking themselves how MAGA regained control of America.

Gaza.

While the general population backed Israel's right to defend their pseudo-nation for the October 7 attacks, a good percentage of young people and Arab- Americans rejected the arming of the IDF to wage a holocaust against the Palestinian people. Over 100,000 men, women, and children, mostly non-Hamas. Joe Biden has always supported Zion right and mostly wrong.

Black men fled the polls by the millions, believing Trump's claim that Afro-Americans have never had it better than under his rule. Latins obeyed the edict of their Fundamentalist pastors and voted for the Orange Messiah. Everyone suffered rising prices, except the very rich. Inflation is just another name for greed. Grocery bills doubled along with pharmacuticals. Joe never attacked his rich patrons and the American Dream of a two-car garage house in the suburbs with enough money to better the lives of your children evaporated for good.

We have sunken beneath subsistence to subexistence. We as a nation are on the edge of homelessness and starvation with $20 trillion having gone up in smoke thanks to the Pentagon's Endless Wars.

Subexistence.

People will bet on cryto-currency. Trump's faux coin had exploded in value to $12 billion since the election. Consumers no longer use money. The credit cards sucking 2-4% of value off each transaction. All the wealth belongs to billionaires. Elon Musk is halfway to a trillion. I carry more cash in my wallet. Yesterday his Space X Ship exploed over Florida. No one onboard. His wealth went up.

Subexistence.

When we can't pay for food poisoned by Big Agra and the water is fouled by fracking and the raping of the Earth for lithium to drive electric cars. We will have to learn from the homeless how low can we survived without anything. They do have answers for that. Don't worry, it's always darkest before the doom. Deconsume, children, it's just one weapon against the billionaires. And and one day the sun will shone again. Ray Charles says so from 1962.

Why Read At All - Florida Ban On Books - 2024

On September 11, 2024 Florida fired the New College of Florida's librarian after the release of photos of the dumpster of books. The state liberal art college had been taken over the previous year by allies of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis dedicated to the Nazi-styled cleansing of books offensive to Bible Thumpers. In early August library Dean Shannon Hausinger had asked a New College lawyer about the policy for weeding out books. The lawyer had answered that the process that had been started by her predecessor of removing books that no longer aligned with the college's mission or hadn't been checked out in years according to NPR. New College Board of Trustees member Christopher Rufo a neo-religionist described as "taking out the trash." Given the green light Dean Shannon Hausinger issued the purge order without any supervision; damaged books, out of date books et al.

ABC reported that The Social Equity Through Education Alliance had been alerted by a New College student who reported seeing what they believed was up to "thousands" of books being "shoved into a dumpster" behind the college's library.

"We basically tried to communicate to officials that there were educational nonprofits and shelters that were immediately willing to bring trucks and save all of the books … and officials refused," said Zander Moricz, executive director at SEE.

Moricz continued, "There were Bibles, there were stories of Black authors, of Latin authors, female stories, there were LGBTQ+ and queer stories, or trans stories, all thrown into a dumpster. It sends the message that New College of Florida wants to send stories of gender and diversity to the dump, and it was so heartbreaking and also very frustrating."

Dean Shannon Hausinger was fired on 9/11 for carrying out her superiors' orders.

I suspect the none of the offending Bibles were the King James Version. Known as Many Independent Fundamentalist Baptist churches as King James Onlyism.

My mention of this even is a year late, but a new survey by the Pew Research Center reported that 42% of college students stop reading after graduation . Amongst my friends only 10% read books dedicated their time to cat memes online, thus becoming nonliterate. I'm presently rereading CLADIUS THE GOD by Robert Graves. King Herod of Judah is his best friend, but has nothing to do with the Nailed God.

ps Ignorance is easier to achieve than enlightenment. - James Steele - Fugitive

Dean Shannon Hausinger was terminated on 9/11/2024. Funny how that date keeps showing up.

I hope MANCHILD IN A PROMISED LAND by Claude Brown or PIMP by Ice Slim weren't in the trash.

Their fragments remain in my mind.

"I said a fool was somebody stupid. Dad said I was right, but there was more to it than that. He said it takes a stupid person to keep looking for something that is never there." Claude Brown.
