Morning Comrades!
Time to let off some steam. I’ve tried my best ( and mostly succeeded ) to keep my cool in the face of ever increasing absurdity, class war, fascism, religious fanatics and fuck knows what else and well, today is the day that it’s time to let off some steam. A few warnings, if you don’t appreciate a good rant and swearing, time to log off and see you next week.
On that note, I absolutely forgot it is Easter and a long public holiday. I am going to skip Monday’s email as I have family matters to attend to and honestly, everyone needs a break from this joint, I’ll be back with the usual program on Wednesday and I’ll leave everyone to get through the insanity of Easter stories.
Oh, and another note, the drop for Doctors without Borders is live until Monday also. Link is below.
A few stories of total derangement that caught my attention in the last 24hrs, and 24hrs alone(!!) that are: US Foreign Policy, the NYPD, religious fanatics and transphobes in the US government, the FUCKING RACISTS in Westminster and of course everyone’s favourite fuck boy, Elon Musk / twitter and co - so let’s get into it. There are heaps of hot shots to accompany these stories but due to email size limitations, I will keep these at one per hot take and share the rest over on Telegram and IG on Friday.
The Empires Foreign Policy
Not only are we absolutely at the total “masks off” point in history but we are witnessing brazen thuggery at the hands of the US government. The proxy war that the US is waging in Ukraine with NATO and Russia to get at China is unleashing an avalanche of fuckery that is hard to keep up with. Up until a few years ago you really had to dig through a ton of seemingly questionable sources to find what the US/CIA/NATO/WTO were up to and try and piece together the pieces. Usually, that ended up with you being branded a conspiracy nutjob but these days, shit, you’d be called that if you actually swallow the western media narrative of global events. In a manner of weeks the above alphabet soup of deranged fascists have attacked and staged coups at anyone that wasn’t 100% behind solidifying the global grip the western capitalists had on the world. First a coup in Pakistan, then forcing the EU into a further dependence on the US energy supplies via Saudia Arabia / Qatar / the US, then attacking India for not siding with the US in the UN, planned state visits in Taiwan to utilizing the powder keg that is Sri Lanka via the IMF to open threats against Nicaragua - it’s been a couple of weeks for the State Department in D.C - I gotta say. It appears to be akin to a teenager’s tantrum when they fucked up and no one wants to play with them, if it wasn’t at the hands of a genocidal, nuclear power that has time and time again shown their total disregard to human life, both abroad and at home. I honestly cannot in my lifetime remember this level of international “disturbance”, especially, publicly, but here we are. It’s more than overtime to take away this spoiled brats toys if you ask me.
The mf’ing NYPD
I mean, c’mon, seriously? This is what, one of the world’s highest budgeted and militarized police force on the planet, with a bigger budget than the fucking Ukrainian Army and then this?? Again, no way am I belittling the insanity that took place, but am rather making the case, once again, to abolish that fascist monstrosity. Of course, the exact opposite is going to happen but how anyone with a sane mind can argue with the continued existence of this criminal gang that solely exists to protect the property of billionaires to keep NYC clean for further investment is beyond me. At this point and if I understand it correctly, the suspect of the subway shooting not only dropped his car key and credit cards at the crime scene, none of the surveillance cameras at that station worked ( ahem ), no cops helped anyone at the point, train drivers and passengers did, but then suspect chilled at a McDonalds and then some random dude called Zach caught the dude? I mean, you couldn’t make this shit up if you wanted, but sure, spend 10 BILLION TAX DOLLARS on criminal fascist gangs that were busy breaking up homeless encampments at the time. I wish I could show you how hard I am shaking my head.
Boris “Fuck Face” Johnson
To be entirely clear, there is nothing “funny” or “comical” about Boris Johnsons, he is a calculating, intelligent racist and fascist- to start. I wouldn’t have enough space here or elsewhere to compile a list of all his fuckery but you know, it seems like he has a deal with someone somewhere to grab headlines for even more notorious shit than anyone else on the daily basis. Of course, it’s all deflection from the increasing pressure on, well everything that is Johnson, but today’s stoop went just well below the “shit, I did not Nazi that coming”.
Yup, you read that right, the UK government now wants to send “refugees” to a “processing” facility…in Rwanda. Right. I’ll leave it to my buddies at the UNHCR to put it into nicer words than I have the stomach for.
Religious Fanatics in the US Government
Alabama joins the lists of states in the US that I consider to be on the far-right to the above. Holy shit balls of Jesus Snake Kissing Nutjobs is going on over there? To explain, the Alabama governor just the other day signed into law two anti-transgender bills. One criminalizes medical care for trans youth and another requires students to use bathrooms that match birth certificates.
Right. Can someone slap the collective Kool-Aide out of these lunatics please and remind me why I am struggling to not compare these fanatics to the Taliban? The fucked up thing is that these laws aren’t unique to states like Alabama, Texas or Florida. Right now, there are over 300 anti-LGBTQ+ bills in state legislatures that specifically aim to legalise harm against children and minorities for political power and money. Holy. Fucking. Shit. Margaret Atwood wrote the above as a warning, not as a US version of Mein Kampf.
Fuccboi Nr. 1
I mean, seriously, fuck this mid-tier shit posting imposter for all he is worth and if it was up to me, I would launch this apartheid-billionaire cesspool into space, tied to one of his playmobile toy cars on Bezos’ dick shaped rockets. Even if you wanted to ignore all his fraudulent BS in regards to paypal, tesla and space x - c’mon, there are easier ways that get a hold of your ex-wife’s DM’s to Chelsea Manning. Of course, this is just another stoop in genuine Lex Luther-like sinister insanity - remember a few months ago when he challenged the UN Food Program to give him a detailed list of how they would end world hunger with 6 Billion USD and if so he would pay it? Well, they did and of course this lunatic didn’t and will not pay, but casually drops the possibility to buy twitter for 41Billion, for what? Protecting Free Speech? The reddit karma he couldn’t get because he is a genuinely a mid-level copy and paste shit poster? The FUCK?! Imagine waking up every day with the ability to, for example, end world hunger, work with the UN to make that happen and go, “nah fuck that, I wanna see why Grimes wrote and because Meme Lord”- again, I wish I could show you how hard I am bashing my had against the fucking wall here. For what it’s worth, I am sure this is just another PR gig but it does just ultimately underline the reality that the concentration of this level of wealth will always mean harm. Just No.
That’s it for this week. I am gonna go and grab a drink or ten, shake my fists at the heavens and come back to this a little calmer, actually, no promises, next week. Thanks for tuning in, yours, pissed off and still unwilling to compromise,
V.
