...I don't think I've stumbled onto anything profound here...the expansion and growth of Fascism in America in particular has been going on for some and has been noted by many others...it's just the first time it became so damn obvious to me...ok, I'm slow.

From Citizen's United where the Supreme Court handed over our politics to the rich, to the gutting of the Voting Rights Act so the unwashed are blocked from voting, to the ever increasing price-tag for "elections" or even to run for office, this country is being handed over, legally, to the aristocrats of money...even the police receiving license to kill unarmed but "dangerous" people...and the kinds of advanced military weapons they have on hand...all of this is Fascism 101 "new and improved". Police kill unarmed people who they say "attacked me"...that excuse will serve just as well when people take to the streets in protest and demands and so will be "attacking me", the rich.

The growth in the use of euphisms is almost becoming a new language...sort of like when the Assyrians chucked Akkadian for a better Aramaic.....increasingly our politicos speak this new eupho-aramaic....Venezuela is now a "security threat" to the United States....Venezuela!!! for fuck's sake....name one thing they've done, or could do, that would threaten this fearful nation...one thing.

This from a country whose president has the legal right to order the murder of ANYONE, ANYWHERE for reasons NO ONE CAN KNOW...or find out, or challenge...from THIS country!!!! But Venezuela is the threat. To his everlasting credit president Maduro said it...said it is the UNITED STATES which is the threat to everyone on the planet...and our BEHAVIOR, not our fine words about ourselves, proves this.

We SOUND great! So does the soap and jam we're sold...all of it SOUNDS great on teevee, until you read the actual list of ingredients that's in the damn stuff, or what it costs our environment to make it....our sense of self is likewise the stuff of commercial jingles....the diagrams of the aspirin entering the mouth and the little hammer in the head stopping....we BELIEVE this stuff,....we must or manufacturers wouldn't be spending the billions and billions they spend on these cartoons...cartoons from which we decide actual behavior....same with the cartoon nation we're presented with by other commercial agents...we actually buy into it because it's soft and gooey and sweet and comfy to believe such stuff...while in reality our police are getting ready to gun down the rest of us when we "attack" them, someday.
