Millions Dead

We worldly moderns know the ultimate results of both
corporate capitalism and totalitarian communism.
Can we compare now, and agree on anarchy?
Consider China, for example, in the early 21st century.
They have been developing into a superpower
at an insane, fatalistic rate: 10 per cent per annum.
The government has coerced the people
into suffering under oppression toward a perfect society -
Chinese communism. Everyone works in factories
and content themselves to have camera cell phones
and personal TVs. “Yes please. We want more
consumer products. More! We’ll do anything. More!”
No, sorry folks, it doesn’t exactly work that way.
You think these human beings won’t wake up one day
and not notice that they don’t have souls anymore?
Wouldn’t you do a little digging to find if something
had been robbed from you? Of course you would,
rich men. Yea – we didn’t know we had to exercise avarice
in order to have the right to live in freedom, lives full
of love and never worry. Trauma scars.
A guy loses his parents. You expect him to be submissive
when he becomes an adult? They died of cancer in their forties
because of the industrial waste stream that seeps
into the city’s water and air supply. And I am doing it too…
Yea right. Sure I’ll stand by as my fellow villager
is beaten to death in the custody of the police.
On the opposite pole, we have America. Think about it
circa 1950s, the decade during which my parents were born.
(I am of the ‘80s). America had won the war.
Through the ‘40s they pulled themselves out of the Depression,
the result of the 1920s, which was an era much similar
to the one we were in during the 2000s. (But all that is
forgotten stuff. No one is alive from then. My own remaining
grandparents are dying. My immediate parents are getting there.
And so am I, I have to add. I am dying myself.)
In the ‘50s, every American had a car. And any blue collar
honest worker could support a home and a family.
Life was rosy, as depicted by the burgeoning ad industry.
Where to begin? So many stories branch from then…
Should I reveal my own history? Of Catholic Irish people
from in and around New York City? No, I am irrelevant.
The point is the illusion. The jobs offered in the Dream
were in the service of the war machine. Korea was a preamble.
Vietnam was the first massively violent endeavor
that the United States engaged their troops in.
How many millions died? Three or four, including
and especially peasant Vietnamese. Ok, so war works,
the new president was explained on his first day in office
by those who were really in power. Not that he didn’t know.
To become president you can’t be a complete idiot.
But he did not know to what extent the maxim was true.
The offshoot of that fiasco was Cambodia, an event which would
rival the holocaust in notoriety if the Cambodian contingency
were as close to and ingratiated in American culture
as the European Jews are. About a third of the population
was wiped out. That is our nationality. Uncle Sam shits
upon a throne of skulls. Our next adventure was Latin America,
a secret war which no one knew about because none of our
own were killed, or extremely few. But millions dead in Nicaragua,
Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Colombia, Brazil, Chile, Argentina,
because of us; as well as Mexico because of the drug trade.
Indian blood is on our hands – the government we held in power.
The ‘90s were an era equivalent to the ‘70s in terms of benignity.
And then, as everyone knows quite well from having seen on TV,
or seeing the filmed images of afterward, came – Boom Tower I –
September 11 – Boom Tower II – 2001. The latest war
has been most interesting in manifesting different methods
by which the leaders of major world powers wield their influence
and corrupt the possibilities of peace. America attacks its own.
George HW Bush was an investor in the Bin Laden Co.
It’s a fact. And so, I ask to whoever may be in charge,
the Great Oz, you pathetic, balding charlatan, do you honestly
think we could be so stupid as to continue buying this?
We do not want consumer products in exchange for souls.
America today (winter solstice, 2011) is shaking off the mantle.
The red white and blue flaps with palpable wind into tatters.
Its greatness was always illusionary. The death agents
and thought police do not exist for the American people.
The country can be taken over with little if any civil war.
Every serious revolutionary should know that to overthrow
a sovereign, you must as a first step infiltrate its military.
The CIA’s tactics in South America have taught us that.
Let’s apply the lesson. Let’s move into the White House.
(I get the Roosevelt Room!) It will be all too easy.
Do you think the young 20-year-old soldiers on Facebook
want to return to the Middle East? How about we tell them,
“Listen son, there is no war… Yo brother, why not fight for good!”
Sure some generals will be upset at losing their mansions
in Washington DC. Let the old men cry. They’ll get over it
soon enough if they don’t commit suicide like Romans
for the old, fallen order. China, however, is another story.
The Burners could take over the States, but it won’t make
a difference overseas, in any case, because that is what
the Chinese have been expecting. As soon as we declare
our nation to be one of libertarian pacifists, they are going
to point nuclear missiles at us and hold our people hostage,
demanding that we labor for the great Communist Party.
Their mind control system is far superior to ours.
Do you have any idea what their people endure
to benefit the ongoing development of the Land of Make-Believe?
The grotesque anomaly to grow out of the China predicament
is the prison nation of North Korea. It is an extreme example
of what China is actually like: people who, when the leader dies,
are paraded in front of cameras and commanded to cry on cue.
