Social norms



Bullets rain on a festival of thousands
Delivered by a madman with selfish anger
War creates madmen
Images and praise for revenging make madmen
Guns give madmen a chance for glory
Guns give sane men a chance to go mad

One war is over, but there is no such thing
Over is history that must be avenged
The only logic is to win at all costs
Forget the travesties against the old world
Forget the genocide pushing natives aside
Build a new nation with principle and pride

Speaking of principle, but mostly of pride
National rifle gunners, jump in to show kindness
And announce that civilians must not be automatic
But almost automatic is a must, be assured 
And if you still need that big chance for madness
Don't worry- silencers will be available to all

But this nation of greed is still a nation of laws
And fears we will mitigate with those who make laws
With unfettered freedoms and dollars galore
We'll lobby for justice and buy us some more
Rich can get richer and keep money flowing
Because buying Congress is costly for sure

We can learn from the others that God's on our side
And using His words we can all justify
That our cause is righteous, and must conquer all
For our way of life is the way to great peace
We are the truth , the way to the light 
So Christian soldiers arm Jesus with guns

Capitalism eats itself

Capitalism eats itself
Amazon buys whole foods
No need for cashiers
News declares consumers are winners
Cashiers have inability to consume
Let them eat cake
Rich remove support systems
Rich live on, poor die off
Crime explodes
Gated communities
New apartheid, new segregation
No new blood, boundaries secured
Rich automate production
Fake money is further faked
Two companies vie for crumbs
Wall Street and Banking are meaningless
Guns aplenty fire from every direction
Freedom reigns

A Reichstag fire ?

     Heather Richardson, Professor of History at Boston 

College, said this declaration of a Muslim ban coming from 

Bannon through the White House is "Shock Event" 

manipulation.   She said in her essay that historically these 

events have been used to get the masses arguing 

among themselves and so distract from the purpose of 

protests.   Historically, there are many such political 

maneuverings that have swayed opinion or just plain 

brought the public to heel, and bolstered Presidential 

approval ratings to boot.  

      Let's pretend that Bannon and company wanted to end 

all these protests that are making our new President so 

uncomfortable and they are feeling a loss of power and/or 

positions and they staged this shock event without even 

passing the declaration through their own party channels.

A really big "shock event", something like 9/11, could then 

be staged.  A "terrorist" major killing event could then set 

off all sorts of assault rifle revenge and confusion among 

arguing groups and liberals calling for calm and social 

media stories made up by varied vying groups.  This would 

result in a parade of puppets that make up this cabinet 

to decree martial law.  The protestors would lose their 

voices and their power and all would be ceded to the 

government The many would see this as reasonable and the 

few would come to understand this as how fascism 

comes to a democratic society.
