ICE IN THE SOUL

ICE IN THE SOUL

Wearing masks to keep themselves hid

So no one can blame them for the things that they did.

Harassment and terror the tools of the trade

Deployed by the state to shake down and raid.

Sent to the blue states to stir everything up

Trump’s own militia – with the devil they sup

Recruits from the Proud Boys, purveyors of hate

Under the pretext of making America great

Blood on the seat, blood on the snow

Lies in the air from those in the know

First it was Good, then it was Pretti

Executions in the heart of the city

Life ended with bullets from the hands of a goon

Lies from the White House but soon changed their tune

The truth was recorded on many a phone

Lies seen through cutting straight to the bone

Faceless and mindless full of great hate

Zombies of fascism deployed by the state

Executioners, killers let off the halter

Eager and obedient, they never falter

Heartless and cruel as a glacial device

The thumbscrews of Nazis, the workings of ICE.

Opher – 29.1.2026

I felt I had to write something. I really could not believe what I was witnessing on the streets of what is supposedly a free democratic country.

Trump has divided the country and whipped it up into such hatred that it teeters on the edge of civil war. The battle lines are drawn. His rhetoric is accusatory and divisive. He is free with his labels and hateful with his language – quick to blame others and laud himself.

ICE has become his private militia deployed to wreak revenge upon those who did not support him or his brand of extreme fascism.

This conman is piling billions into his vaults while giving more power to the wealthy and religious fanatics.

It’s like watching a child play with immense power that he doesn’t understand – tariffs, threats, war.

He thrives on chaos, undermining experts, science, the media and the world order. He shits on allies and cosies up to enemies. Out of the fear and chaos he can gain wealth, power and satisfaction – gloating and preening on a stage, not seeing that others see him as a disgustingly bad smell.

Never have we witnessed such crass behaviour, such bad taste, such odious behaviour. He is destroying the glue that held us together for personal gain or emotional catharsis – like a child destroying his own toys.

He pardons murderers and crooks and has set loose an army of mindless, rabid goons to upset and enrage his ‘enemies’.

But life is precious. We should cherish every moment. I detect that he and his sycophantic extremists actually enjoyed the executions of Renee and Alex and the fury it unleashed.

Dictators and despots are all held in place by the cruel sadists that masquerade in uniforms. Whether it’s the Stasi, Gestapo, Morality police or ICE. They’ve propped up totalitarian regimes in Germany, Russia, Iran, Afghanistan, South America and now the USA.

A curse for the torturers and executioners who enable evil. A curse upon the despots.

Who would have believed that the USA could get so bad!

Murder is condoned by evil people.

Should Humans be Preserved or Eradicated?

If an alien race was weighing up the good and bad in mankind with a view to preservation or extermination what might they be weighing up?

What have I not considered?

What would your verdict be?

When Narcissism melds with arrogance, ignorance and stupidity!

Add in a garnish of greed, mendacity and pure nastiness!

Chief Deplorable!

It takes a really nasty piece of work to have the means to make a real difference but instead, not just to turn your back on the poor, needy, dying and desperate, but to actively go out of your way to create even more misery and death.

He’s hoarding money for his juvenile little projects while gleefully cutting aid and reducing payments to the poor and needy. He seems to be enjoying cynically laying people off and throwing them on the scrapheap. That’s either sociopathic behaviour in which he doesn’t care about the result and impact of what he is doing and not doing, or it’s psychopathic behaviour in that he’s actually getting pleasure out of hurting people!

What a bastard!

While Zuckerberg, Bezos and the rest of the world’s elite are culpable Musk must surely be the most deplorable man on the planet! I spit on the sick, selfish, greedy fuck!

Only Bill Gates seems to be coming out of this elite club with any honour or credibility!

Evil is incremental

Evil is incremental

Evil comes in increments

                Hate arrives step by step.

It never sleeps

Empathy is narcotised

                Compassion slowly dies

Sanity weeps.

Yes.

Evil comes in increments

                Hate arrives step by step.

It never sleeps

Opher – 7.4.2025

I watched this after seeing Simon Sharma in programme on the holocaust interviewing a survivor of the concentration camps. The survivor said it wasn’t the Germans. It could have happened anywhere. The hate doesn’t happen all at once; evil comes step by step.

The comparison with what is happening in the USA at the moment was salutary to me. I see MAGA taking exactly the same route, the hate, the racial purity, the scapegoating. Step by step. ICE and concentration camps. Blame, stereotyping and hate. Step by step.

The Nazification of the USA is proceeding. Project 2025 is its model.

Yesterday was chilling. To see Trump sitting in the White House with the war criminal Netanyahu who he should be arresting for war crimes instead of cosying up to. He was sanctioning genocide!

Is this was the USA has descended to? How much worse does it get?

Befriending Totalitarian Dictators!

Hypocrisy Sucks!!

Don’t do as I Do: Do as I Say!!

Religious indoctrination = Child Abuse??

Planting fear into the minds of children with concepts of hell and satan is worse than beating them in my opinion.

No child should be exposed to religion until they are old enough to reason. In my opinion it’s worse than heroin.

Sucking Up to Tyrants

Musk, Bananas and Evil Psychology
