proto-neo-postfuturist-fascism
“The terror which the president directs towards people in the rest of the world will soon have the potential to be directed against every American citizen. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was recently passed by both the Senate and the House. This bill, which authorizes military spending, also has a provision which will permit the president to place any American citizen under indefinite military detention and to do so without charge or trial. The Democratically controlled Senate voted overwhelmingly, 93 to 7, in favor of this effort to end any semblance of democracy. If Bush had attempted such an openly tyrannical measure, Democrats might have called it fascism, but they will do no such thing as long as their party is in power. That too is a hallmark of tyranny and despotism. Any true opposition to the power structure is silenced and marginalized, and allegedly different interests support the same ends.”

“World horrors, I don’t want to see
So my mind shuts off everything around me
and I trance –
Make my own reality”
-Doug Wimbish (CinemaSonics)
the same
planetary parasites
remain in place
only now with a tick’s insight
and a chameleon’s face
under mountains
of human sacrifice
the same old stories
no longer suffice
how much evidence
do you need
to see such bold-faced arrogance
heartlessness and greed?
oceans of distraction
food for the warring corporate factions –
faceless, race-less, graceless auto-drones
programed to own earth, air, water, flesh and bone
true Mothers, true Fathers
ravaged in frustration and disgust
are assembling as Spirits
collected in the Ancient, Cosmic Dust
