Ice on the Moon

Trump appointing Krishnan to an AI advisory post generated some objections and it has blown up into a massive betrayal of MAGA. At last report Trump supports Elon, who is banning the MAGA influencers. Could it possibly end with Trump not becoming president? God….please have mercy on us and save America from Trumpism.

“Megyn Kelly asked about highly-skilled immigration. The H-1B program is neither high-skilled nor immigration: these are temporary foreign workers, imported from abroad, for the explicit purpose of substituting for American workers at lower pay. I remain totally committed to eliminating rampant, widespread H-1B abuse and ending outrageous practices such as those that occurred at Disney in Florida when Americans were forced to train their foreign replacements. I will end forever the use of the H-1B as a cheap labor program, and institute an absolute requirement to hire American workers first for every visa and immigration program. No exceptions.” Donald J. Trump.

“I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump said by phone, referring to the H-1B program, which permits companies to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations.”

“I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program,” added Trump, who restricted access to foreign worker visas in his first administration and has been critical of the program in the past.”

This kind of racist igniter can have consequences far beyond what anyone would predict.

Elon just exposed his grift and the lazy Americans are going to come at him in a way he cannot possibly comprehend. At some point all his billions will not save him. Or….Mammon will prove to be the true god of this world. Trump will eventually resign for medical reasons and Vance, who is owned by Thiel, will co-rule with Musk. This Triumvirate will further dismantle America and turn it into the techno-feudal oligarchy the tech-bro accelerationists have written about for years. That was likely the plan well before the election.

What Musk is essentially saying is that as an immigrant he came here with other immigrants to do what stupid Americans could not and now he owns the country. What he is not saying is what he really needs is smart people he does not have to pay well or worry about them quitting when he abuses them. The millions of working-class citizens who were duped into voting MAGA can go and…well, he said it. The leopards are eating the faces of the Trumpists.

Bannon 5:25 “We (America) are not going to be some anarcho-libertarian – run by big-tech oligarchs-” He and Michael Flynn are ex-military officers and extremely dangerous.

This kind of chaos is a warning flag that a REAL civil war could very easily be in our future. As stated in a famous mini-series that ended badly, “Chaos isn’t a pit, chaos is a ladder.” The white supremacists want extreme chaos they can use to ignite the same firestorm of fascism that burned down the German government and handed power to Hitler.

The issue is as simple as the millions of Trumpists that voted for him because of the brown people they see everywhere they go. “- there is clear evidence that companies are using H-1B visas not to supplement, but to replace qualified Americans with cheaper foreign labor.”

Musk owns Trump and Thiel owns Vance and likely made an agreement with Trump to pay him a billion or so to resign at some point. Trump will likely tell Musk to pay him more to stay in office than what Thiel will pay to retire him. Mammon is the god of this world. Anybody who thinks Trump is somehow going to fire the richest person that has ever lived is betting on a very long shot. If it does happen it is in some ways even scarier. People like Hitler and Stalin and Mao simply got rid of all the people who put them into power and thought they could control them. Steve Schmidt recently commented on our utterly transactional gerontocracy in congress and how unlikely it is to stop Trump from taking power as a dictator and that he will exercise as much power as he can get away with on the first day.

It is going to be wild.

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.
