Ice on the Moon

They think President Musk is on their side. Actually, Elon is an absolute Mammon worshiper, a Market Fundamentalist. U.S. version of Islamic Fundamentalism. Just like Chris Hedges warned us years ago. It is here.

White Christian Nationalism is going to be bought and paid for because Trump’s god is money. Elon has the money, Putin has the money, and the prosperity gospel has now replaced the “Left Behind” gang.

The encomium of America is approaching on the 20th of January. The end of 248 years of democracy that changed the world. Fear of the other, of change, played a critical part in our destruction. The Reagan Revolution was 1st stage cancer and now we are in hospice waiting for the end.

Real resources vs financial resources. Indeed, “-we confuse the world as we symbolize it, with the world as it is.”

War, slavery, money, democracy, and Christianity. We seem to have eliminated all of these from history except the one that is now effectively the god of this world.

Christmas is not really about radical economic reform. Close….but not really. If money is the god of your world, then, yes, you can frame Christianity in prosperity gospel terms. Or you can place your faith in whatever context you like. Even Russian Cosmism, with resurrection as the “common task” to be accomplished by humankind, which was the original transhumanist movement at the beginning of the 20th century. Over a century ago. It has only been twenty centuries since Christianity began. Five centuries before Christianity, twenty-five centuries ago, western democracy began. Over twice as long ago, over seventy centuries ago, there were lists of goods and services traded and other accounting records being kept. Money. Before all of this there was prehistoric slavery and war. Slavery was finally abolished in the west with the American Civil War 159 years ago. War as humankind has known it effectively ended 79 years ago with the first nuclear weapon test.

Market Fundamentalism is money as the god of this world with nothing else having any meaning. Not truth or justice or oppression or suffering or the future or the past. Only the present account balance. And that will be the extinction of humankind, the eternal end of all our children’s children if nothing is done to change what has happened.

Those of us who only care about the moment they live in, what they can individually own, they have no worries. The rest of us are collectively damned by them.

Every bad word except genocidal and that is likely next. These Oligarchs are no longer even trying to hide their power out of fear of the populace moving to limit this in self-defense. The billionaires are going for absolute power because of modern technology and the belief that people are too afraid of being incarcerated to do anything about it. They believe they have won and are now beginning to simply display what they are doing.

That 50 trillion dollars was what would have paid wages to a home-owner with a stay at home mom/dad, universal healthcare, free tuition, and a carbon free power grid. Instead, we have mega-ranches and fleets of private jets and yachts and these greedy monsters slowly but surely turning us into wage slaves who essentially work for nothing.

Those millions of Trumpist voters don’t know anything about this. They don’t watch Rachel. They would not believe any fake news about Trump anyway. What to call my new nation? Mumpistan? The Oligarchic Republic of Mumpistan?

Market Fundamentalism is a religion that does not recognize truth as being of any importance and is just a tool for profit. Untruth being the better tool for profit-making. Musk and his billionaire buddies do not care about the U.S. or anybody but only how many billions they can amass. Money is their god. Human lives mean nothing. Only wealth has any meaning. People do not get it.

About 200 million people in this country do all the work and thus generate all the wealth. About 2 million want all that wealth and want the other 198 million to work for food and shelter and thank them for that. Truth.

All this drama is about the rich stealing as much as they can get away with. Distracting the people with chaos and confusing political games. While they steal the very last pennies. Musk has made, literally, billions of dollars since Trump was elected and will not stop till he hits a wall. Except…for the richest man in the world there are not really any walls.

Musk is an accelerationist…he and his techbro billionaire buddies want to burn it all down and then step in and make themselves techno-feudal overlords. It is true. They want to end everything and start over fully knowing it would cause immense suffering and chaos and inevitably many deaths. How many? Perhaps millions or even billions of dead. They will be safe in their bunkers and on their private islands. This is real and they have written about it and openly stated what they want with infinite arrogance. They believe we get what we deserve if we let them.

Everything has become stranger than fiction. You could NOT write a book about what is actually happening in the world right now. And all of us just seem to be going with it.

When neoliberalism impoverishes the 99 percent as it inevitably does, it proceeds to fascism to protect the wealthy. The fascists logically and eventually go after the useless eaters who cannot generate profit. And it will end with showers and ovens.

Imagine a company where the workers are all shareholders. Where you have to be a worker to be a shareholder. This absolutely terrifies the super-wealthy. Imagine owning the apartment you live in because renting is illegal. This absolutely terrifies the super-wealthy. Imagine a limit on personal wealth that is voted on by the entire population. This absolutely terrifies the super-wealthy.

The super-wealthy have slowly but surely dismantled almost all attempts to tax and regulate them over the last century and here we are with the richest person on Earth now dictating orders to the U.S. Congress. That richest person also being a fascist.

Aware.

Are you aware of the astronomical economic inequality in Americ that finds a few thousand owning almost everything while millions live paycheck to paycheck? This greed is often rebranded in propaganda as “Freedom.”

Are you aware that wealth concentrates ever upwards to fewer people and these few individuals invest in never being required to redistribute any of that wealth back downward? This taxation and regulation is often rebranded in propaganda as “Theft.”

Are you aware that the original ancient Greek democracies were formed to limit the power of the wealthy so they could not inevitably impoverish and enslave everyone? This collective self-defense is often rebranded in propaganda as “Communism.”

The wealthy have succeeded in rebranding the term “woke” just as they have succeeding in manipulating the populace for over a century with propaganda.

Be AWARE…..and beware of the danger We the People face right now.

Divide et impera.

Billionaires cannot stop till they own everything and everyone….making 99 out of a 100 of us wage slaves who work to essentially pay every penny we make for a room to sleep in and enough food to keep from starving.

Musk owns the republican party and threatens the democrats. America is over. We now live in an Oligarchy.
