It may take a year or two, but Trump will be gone and the GOP will pay the price for allowing fascism and totalitarianism to blossom and flourish in the USA. Trump, with the sycophantic, opportunistic, cooperation of the GOP has empowered all the most obnoxious elements of American society from the KKK and a multitude of previously marginalised white supremacist groups to the conspiracy theorists, flat earthers and religious fanatics of the hard right and the Neo-Nazis and fascists of Project 2025. This unholy bunch of QAnon lunatics coalesced as MAGA and were united by their hatred of blacks, browns and liberals.
Trump has reached the heights through division and chaos. He deliberately undermined the established order, experts, science, institutions, media and law and order in order to project himself as the only truth and saviour of the world. He personally prospered enormously (wealth and power) out of this unholy alliance.
But he is an old ailing man. He never was either intelligent or learned. He doesn’t read or understand. And he is rapidly declining. His power is waning with his abilities. Soon he will die, be impeached, be locked up for his multitude of crimes, or simply ousted. Soon MAGA will rupture and the GOP will be unelectable for decades. Soon sanity will return.
When Trump is gone and MAGA becomes the rump of illiterate scum it is based around, sanity will return, science and experts will once again be seen as the basis of reason, the media will be freed, institutions (though imperfect) will be valued and stability brought back. Law and order will ensue.
Then there will be a period of accountability. Those in charge, like Kristi Noem and JD Vance, will be brought before the courts. The thugs and goons of ICE and MAGA will be dragged before the courts and tried for their crimes against humanity.
This new swamp will be drained.
Soon Renee Good and Alex Pretti and many more will receive justice and be lauded as the heroes they are!
Soon – justice will be done and we’ll emerge from the dark days of this fascist nightmare. Soon. Soon. Soon.
Empty Words
Killing people
What gives you the right?
Tools
Of the regime.
Willing goons.
Vicious thugs.
Desensitised.
Bullets and pliers,
Electricity
And hate.
Killing for profit.
Killing for fun.
Killing to order.
Killing’s never done.
Massacre
And torture
Threats
And fear.
Every despot needs an army.
Without thugs
They are helpless,
Useless,
Pathetic.
Just empty words.
You, who serve,
With boot and gun;
Who legitimise
The tyrant
Against your own people,
Are the true traitorous scum.
You turn
Empty words
Into blood and death.

I watch the vicious crack-down on the people of Iran – the rape and torture. It’s the same the world over – from Pinochet in Chile to Botha in South Africa – The East German Stasi and Nazi – Khomeini just another tyrant! But all these tyrants have one thing in common – they employ thugs to do their dirty work! Without the torturing, massacring thugs they would have no power.
And what of these mindless goons who carry out the orders of these powerful men? What motivates them? Money? Power? Pleasure?
They put aside their morality and take up arms against the very people they are part of. Do they feel superior? Do they feel justified?
Have they merely been desensitised?
Fela Kuti called them Zombies!
They are worse than that! There are no words to describe the level these torturers and murderers have stooped to!
Scum!!
This is based on the Christine Keeler affair, my experience as a juror, a witness at two trials, and the experiences of friends and a relative.
Justice is a lottery, a spectacle, a performance – there to create an illusion.
Someone may go down for a pint of milk while others remain untried after embezzling millions.
The Courtroom Farce
The courtroom and the judiciary –
An adversarial system,
A circus,
That does not bother itself
With establishing the truth.
It is only about winning.
The guilty are made innocent
While the innocent are sacrificed
In a system that is all for show.
In this lottery
Money talks.
As briefs find loopholes
And people are just chips
In the casino of learned words,
As we gamble
With the truth.
They talk of level playing fields,
That nobody is above the law,
And retribution falls on the mightiest,
But justice
Is but a game.
The charade is played out behind closed doors.
The spectacle is the tip
Of an iceberg
Under which it reeks
Of bribes, threats and corruption.
The biggest crooks
Rarely see the inside of a court,
Unless they are forced
By an unfortunate set of circumstances,
Or those who pull the strings
Want a show.
The odds are stacked.
