The $1,039 Billion Defeat
(I.C. NEWS IS FILING ITS DAILY REPORT EARLY TODAY BECAUSE WE ARE EXPECTING A BULLETIN STORY THIS AFTERNOON.)
In the Void of Homelessness, on a choppy sea, we look for enemy sails on the horizon. It won't be long now.
We wonder what have we not told you, Dear Reader, that you will need to know when the sea grows rough and the enemy bears down, finally hoisting its true colors, flying the Swastika where it once flew the Stars and Stripes and the Stars and Bars.
George W. Bush will destroy the world. That sums up the minimum of this news story I.C. News has gone through Hell and High Water to bring you. The maximum is this Earth will be dead by 2065.
(Well, there is more the maximum, but that concerns the immortal soul.)
America's mind is a duck's back, and like water the truth of Earth's coming death runs off it.
We know that, yet we send out another salvo: George W. Bush will destroy the world.
Time moves slowly at sea. A mile a minute does not exist out here.
The squawk box brings us the news, and we marvel at the American election. How bad things are is not discussed; the election focuses on choosing new wallpaper, and the house sits atop an emerging volcano.
Two wrong guys are in the running. Likeable, both; loveable, even; and both would not be bad on another planet in another time.
George W. Bush will destroy the world.
Once in my merchant sailor days I was standing alone at the bow of my great iron ship, the only place aboard out of range the sound and throb of the engine, feeling the glory of it, feeling the glory of being a sailor at sea; and dead ahead a seabird sat on the water, its attention immersed in gluttony for it had set itself down in the middle of a school of sardines; and my great iron ship charged closer and closer to it, as if it was aimed at it, but it was not, I the only sailor on board knowing the seabird was there and I not at the helm; and I watched the seabird as it ate and ate and ate, better, perhaps, than it had ever eaten before; and suddenly, now only 20 or 30 yards in front of my great iron ship, the seabird became aware of it, and panicked, and began flapping its wings rapidly, then more rapidly, then violently--on the same course as we--but its belly was too full of fish for its wings to lift their weight; and in a matter of seconds we would run over it; and at the last second the seabird looked back and up at me standing at the bow, its eyes panicked, saying, "Help me! Help me!"; my eyes saying, "I am sorry, but there is nothing I can do"; and the bird was run over by the great iron ship, and died beneath the waves unseen and unknown to all but God and I.
Now America, Dear Reader, is that seabird; and I am that same sailor, and the great iron ship is Time.
There is nothing America hates more for me to do to than point out flaws in America, but if I say nothing, America dies; and it is better to be hated by America than to hate myself for keeping my mouth shut.
I speak here not of flaws in the American people; the American people are people and people are flawed, and the human being is in possession of universal flaws. That is, all earthlings are the same on that score.
George W. Bush will destroy the world.
I speak here not of flaws in the Constitution of the United States of America. If the American government and economic system did not bristle against it, seek constantly to subvert it and distort it and weaken it--cheat it--it would be a near-perfect document well worth the blood it is soaked in.
The Constitution is like Christianity in that sense, were it lived as it was written peace, freedom and prosperity would reign from sea to shining sea.
George W. Bush will destroy the world.
No, I speak here of the American government and that bastard pretender of holier than thou purpose, American journalism, and the common flaw they share in that they both see themselves as superior to the American people.
That is step one; step two is in that superiority they give themselves the right to lie to the American people--to make the truth more palatable for the American people's childish little taste buds.
It is self-evident that no American elected to public office has the right to lie to the American people, not even "for their own good", as the liars' rationalization usually runs.
With the first public exposure of his countless lies, George W. Bush should have been impeached.
George W. Bush will destroy the world.
The American news media--left, right, and center--is a propaganda machine.
"Freedom of Press" is taken to mean "Freedom of the Owner of the Press"; and the best an American journalist can do is find an owner whose slant he or she wants to serve.
The reporter serves the paycheck, not the people.
This is why established journalism hates Internet journalism so much (though it rarely betrays that hatred) because the Internet journalist owns the press, the computer; and that is why the owners of journalism and the owners of the Internet have it set up so the plug can be pulled on any Internet journalists they do not like, and on all Internet journalists if it were to come to that.
This is common in Communist China and will become common in the United States of America if the march of Republican American Fascism continues.
The end result of this claimed right of the government and the news media to lie to and to propagandize the American people is the American people being turned into grazing consumers eating the world to death, devouring the human race to extinction, and fighting liars' wars for liars' reasons.
They have no choice, all the choices are made for them; they think they are free, but they do what they are told.
In the end, this is what defeats America. This is what causes the great iron ship of Time to run it over.
This is why so near the end, 40 years from the extinction of the human race, 60 years from the death of this Earth, we have two nice guys, two loveable oafs, competing for America's last-chance Presidency, not knowing the end of the world from the ends of their noses.
