Daniel 3:16-18 King James Version (KJV)
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. 17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. 18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
So, sadly the Pax Americana has run its course. It’s failing or breaking up or cracking around the edges, and that’s very bad because it metaphorically sits on a very big hole that unfortunately goes straight to hell and out of which come all the hellish things previously reported by witnesses of such things. Boghul, for instance.
Noam Chomsky, the leftwing nut who called the Republican Party the most dangerous organization the world has ever seen or something, is now calling their masters The Constituency. We shall see pretty soon whether this entity also rules the Supreme Court as they decide on Unions’ right to represent members regarding workplace grievances and the partisan gerrymandering practice in Wisconsin. (Hey, you can do your own research.) If SCOTUS rules unfavorably toward union power and democracy, then we’ll know for damn sure that we’re fucked every which way, since all three branches of US government will be under the thumb of The Constituency. Tweety will become a monster of great power protected by three demonic hosts, a situation worthy of Bill Blake.
Headlines seen around October 10, 2017, the day Tweety challenged Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to an IQ throwdown and a few days after, flanked by military men and their wives, he made the enigmatic ‘calm before the storm’ remark, (while, it may be noted, hundreds of thousands of Americans were in fact dealing with the calm after three devastating real storms):
Republican Senators and Representatives, Illegitimately Elected, Subvert or Ignore Parliamentary Procedures While Global Plutocrats Hoard their Wealth in Contradistinction to the Principle of Capital Reinvestment.
Government Falls Apart and the Economic System Cracks Up into a Feudal State.
Chris Hedges’ frightful jeremiads at Truthdig will give you the willies. Really, almost everybody with a tendency to think for themselves has figured it out already, and all I’m trying to add here is that we are indeed in a magnificent bloodsoaked opera, snuff film or Grand Guignol, and it isn’t original or unpredictable, blood will be spilled by the gallon and the screams at noon will come closer. Hell has already started to vomit its creatures into our daylight, as you know very well. You do know it.
