This is Not Dictator's Day

 I awoke from yet another nightmare with an image forming: tiny figures smashing the supports under the huge building that houses us all.  The building itself appears undamaged.  But eventually it won't take much to bring it down.

King Chaos is an increasingly emboldened dictator, following the Hitler model perfectly.  Even with known and unknown individual acts of courage if not effectiveness, the bulwark of bureaucracy is quaking. The courts are starting to weaken.  Billionaires and megacorporations are stampeding into line, including Jeff Bezos' Amazon which offered tens of millions for Melania's "documentary" that no one else would even touch. By coincidence no doubt, Bezos' Washington Post has nixed a paid advertisement campaign to "Fire Musk." 

Virtually everything Chaos is doing is either illegal, un-Constitutional or corrupt, when it's not all three. 

Prince Chaos of Musk and his minions are soon to get their greedy eyes on personal data of millions of Americans kept in the data depths of Treasury and Social Security.  Some eager beavers fired Nuclear Security Administration staff overseeing the nuclear arsenal without knowing what they do.  They are now trying to hire them back, but they reportedly didn't keep contact information.  Weren't they going to pay these people?  What about their pensions?  All of this is monstrous.

At schools for the children of American military personnel at NATO headquarters in Belgium, teachers were frantically trying to obey new Defense department censorship by axing Black History month and anything vaguely to do with rainbows.  While stripping shelves of now forbidden books.  Says the New York Times report: "And teachers have been taking down their Black history month displays and nixing plans for women’s history month, after a Jan. 31 email from the acting under secretary for defense that said such celebrations “divide the force.” 

Another Times piece suggests there is apparently an under 30 generation for whom the "I was racist before it was cool" guy is a hero.  Orange is the new Green.

Another aspect familiar from a certain period of all too recent but also all too distant German history is the policy of imperialism emerging from the Chaos administration.  It's hard not to see Prince Chaos behind this, whispering about how we can use all those trace minerals to build more AI and rule the world somehow, or at least get to Mars (where do you think all the money will eventually go that they are supposedly saving from firing people and slashing medical care for the poor and the old--besides directly into the billionaires' pockets?)

The deathly irony of the white supremacist administration officially assuming power on the Martin Luther King Day holiday is now joined by the multiple instances of abuse of power and rank corruption made routine by the current occupant of the Oval Office, bringing a new degree of shame to the Presidency this day is supposed to celebrate.
