Decision time is fast approaching when we need to dig deep to uncover the inner warrior in each of us to with one voice scream ‘ENOUGH IS ENOUGH’.
I wish I could wave a magic wand and make it all stop, but I can’t. I can’t because America has reached the terminus after a decades long journey in the quest for greed and power.
The final stop has been reached and we must all exit the bus into the world the oligarchs and paid for politicians have delivered us to. A world in which the strongest survive and the weak fall by the wayside.
Along the way they have stolen from the poor to give to the rich. They have dispensed with any adherence to the rule of law or the constitution they have twisted like a pretzel to fit their Christian Nationalist vision for a new America stripped of empathy, moral integrity and hope, for all but the chosen few.
This is not the America that so many brave men and women fought and died for on distant shores to protect. This is a hollowed out husk of a nation once respected around the world as a protector of freedom and democracy.
Somewhere on this journey half the population became infected by a malignant parasite that has burrowed its way into the minds of former rational critical thinkers, to produce a zombie army prepared to sacrifice everything in service of a wannabe American Caesar.
In this new America there is no place for the poor the old and the vulnerable. There is certainly no place for dissent or human rights. Theirs is a society for the privileged few served by the many.
As you alight the bus, you will be met by the military and Immigration enforcement officers who will separate you out into immigrants, dissenters and the compliant. If you are in the latter group, you will find no social programs, living wage, environmental protections, access to reproductive services, affordable healthcare or child care just a sign that says “ARBEIT MACHT FREI” (work makes you free).
If you are not in the compliant group you will be exiled by the state to a country of its choosing.
This is a new world in which compliance is everything. A world in which news media reflects the will of the new Caesar and social media is merely a propaganda vehicle for the state narrative, As for elections, they are a thing of the past.
It’s like a dream where you fell off the cliff and woke up sweating and clammy with a start, to find the nightmare you had just endured is now your reality and the party you thought were coming to save you, preferred self preservation to the mess you now find yourself in.
Welcome to Trump’s Hunger Games. The only question that remains, is will you be part of the rebellion against the Capitol? Time is running out I’m afraid.
The clock is ticking. What will you do?
The master wordsmith and fellow Substack resident Matthew Cooke, recorded this profound message that provides a backdrop to my words. Please take a moment to let his words wash over your conscience. May these be the words that light a fire under the political warrior in you to organise a fight back, because if you ignore these warnings, there is no way back.
My deepest thanks to Matthew for his frank and honest monologue.
