We Are All Navalny Now
Maybe it Was the Fellatio?
Alexei Navalny, chose to go back to Russia, knowing that he would be imprisoned and be murdered. He did not make this choice out of ego or self-importance. He did so because he believed in the Russia of the Future. He chose to do this after being poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent. The character it takes to be that true to your passionate belief that your country is more important than your life is something with which we all need to pay attention.
I guess we need to ask, when does the first (next) Kent State massacre happen in the United States and who is at the other end of the guns? The U.S. military? The National Guard? The Proud Boys? The Three Percenters?
Imagine yourself having the courage of a Navalny. You will need that next year when the firehose of disinformation and scatological nature of fascism rears its ugly head in the USA. The people behind Project 2025 are racehorses hopped up on steroids and they are ready to jam their Christofascist agenda up your ass. Slathered on top of this shitshow will be the vomit of lies coming from Orange Jesus, the guy wants to fuck his own daughter and gave a blow job to a microphone.
The 4th Estate, assuming we have one, will continue to fail the country. In their whore-like lust for clicks and eyeballs they sold the USA down the river with their ‘both sides’ bullshit that legitimized a syphilitic, deranged, sociopathic and malignant narcissist.
Leopards Eating Faces
This meme arose from round one of Mango Mussolini, to the good old days when there were checks and balances. Imagine the level of face eating that is about to happen in the USA. It isn’t just the people who voted for T***p, the entire Face Eating frenzy is mostly the extreme far-right QAnon types who have turned on each other and started calling their own baby killers and pedophiles. They are the: “Leopards Eating Faces Party.”
70+ million people are about to get their faces eaten, along with the rest of us that preferred sanity, and the results are already showing. “Though inauguration day is two months away, the leaders of consumer giants such as BMW, Ikea, Airbus, and Ralph Lauren were asked about the plans by the press and on earnings calls this week.” –Business Insider
This is how fascism works. If you do not swear full allegiance to the Dear Leader, they come at you hard and fast. Loyalty is the ticket. Shine up your jack boots and press that brown shirt. What is coming next year is going to make your head spin. Remember “There will be so much winning?” 2025 is going to be so much heartache, so much vulgarity, so much violence, so much insanity.
The Envy of the World: You Break it, You Buy it.
On October 19th, The Economist posted a Special Report entitled, The American Economy: The Envy of the World. (note: paywall) Donold is going to be handed what economists call a “Goldilocks Economy.” The USA has had the fastest and strongest growth of any nation post-Covid, unemployment at a 50-year low, inflation back to where it was at the beginning of the pandemic, and a roaring stock market.
What do we know about markets and fascism?
“The state comes before the individual. Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary defines fascism as “a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized, autocratic government.”” --FEE
As Timothy Snyder tells us: Autocracy will bring poverty. Remember Elon Musk saying: Get ready for “temporary hardship?” More like an economic clusterfuck.
Remember a year ago when Argentina elected a clownish man with goofy hair who promised to “fix” things as he paraded around the country with a chainsaw?
“Compared to 2023, the poverty index jumped by over 11 percentage points and indigence by over 6. More than half of the country’s population — 52.9% — now lives below the poverty line, with 18.1% experiencing extreme poverty. A staggering 66.1% of children in Argentina are living in poverty, highlighting a generation at risk.” –Courthouse News
Now imagine one of the world’s richest and most ensconced human with a chainsaw in his hand. Do you think the oligarchs give two flying fucks about the plebeians? Add to this the fact that he is a man-child with some obvious emotional issues and drug habits…this should be smooth sailing indeed. Buckle up Murica, you’re about to get Musk-Fucked.
“Musk’s plans for slashing federal spending would be similarly calamitous. He has offered few details about his vision for downsizing Uncle Sam, but recently suggested that the federal government’s $6.75 trillion budget should be cut by at least $2 trillion. Austerity on that scale would disrupt myriad government services on which Democrats and Republicans rely, while threatening to throw the US economy into severe recession. And there is little basis for believing that an economic paradise would rise from such ruins.” --Vox
“He has offered few details…?” Kinda sounds like Anne Applebaum’s recipe for fascism: Simple solutions to complex problems. “She explains how authoritarians woo followers by offering seemingly simple solutions to complex problems, guarantees for basic services and security, and by exploiting us versus them narratives.” -- Twilight of Democracy: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism
It is So Strange the Way Things Turn
“Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be last to go
It is so strange the way things turn”
--Peter Gabriel: Don’t Give Up
As I pointed out previously, this is the time to be informed by some of the world’s most expert voices on what the USA is about to experience. Like the sage advice from historian Timothy Snyder.
“Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.”
Just as in Argentina, the MAGAts are going to have a huge wakeup call. The question is, can you, can we be Good Samaritans when these people are struggling? This goes back to the old parable of the two Sannyasi (monks) in India that meet the old woman by the riverside. The story can be read here. Note: In this version she is a young woman.
Are we able to build rapport and have genuine love for people who have been brainwashed into the Cult of MAGA? “What is Project 2025? What are you talking about?” This comes down to the “Man in the Mirror” logic of human interaction. What is your rapport with yourself? That is the starting place.
It is essential that we take care of ourselves first and foremost. Mom used to ask: “Who do you put the mask on first?” Referring to the oxygen masks on a plane. That’s right, it is YOU. Just like any other discipline, we need a daily love, muscle flexing to build the strength required to lend a helping and loving hand to the person whose previously contorted mind has gleefully wanted to simply see other people hurt. My guess is this will be most difficult for women. Conscientious women who watched their sisters froth at the mouth about the immigrants, the gays, the blacks, the trans, the libtards, the frazzledrip, Pizzagate baby-eating lizard people.
I recently had a conversation with a dear friend that surrounded “music” and music being a calling from Spirit. Wayne Dyer created tracks with James Twyman that incorporate what is called the Moses Code. Dr. Dyer offers that these are divine sounds, ‘the sound of God.’ I recommend listening to the: I Am/Wishes Fulfilled Meditation. In addition, a number of “frequency” recordings can also have an impact. 963Hz has been called the Frequency of God. Try it out. Namaste.
