FPOTUS and Rare Liberals Stoking the Schedule F Burn Pit – CounterPunch

Leadership, Policy and Metaphor for a Collapsing Empire

When the redacted search warrant, for the National Defense (and other) Information (NDI) top secret documents the Rump Klan stole from the white house in January 2021, identified the Former President of the United States as FPOTUS, I thought we had a new political label for dead meat for the ages.

Within a couple days the long New York Times Magazine feature piece on the Jones Day law firm identified Jones Day partner and former Detroit Emergency Manager Fascist (EMF) Kevyn Orr as a rare liberal in their rightwing dog pen.

Why bother to commentate when the clichd metaphors[i] stand up and spew their own garbage 24/7?

Answer: FPOTUS skipped out on his coup-in-progress with a plan Schedule F to purge hundreds of thousands of government civil service employees, replacing the federal governments nonpartisan official corps with MAGA death cultists.

News flash: Theres at least an even chance POTUS47, whether its Ivanka, Ron DeathSantis, or perhaps a corporate Dem reaching out to their supporters, may implement some kind of linguistically deodorized Schedule F and worse within 3 years. I respectfully conclude thats good enough cause to speak up!

Jones Days token Negro Rare Liberal reportedly drew the ethical line with his own bloodied hands in 2021 on Jones Days lucrative Gleichschaltung practice, transforming the federal government into FPOTUSs weaponized neo-nazi criminal enterprise. Kevyn-the-former-EMF-and-now-RL (QAmok Revolutionary Leader?) supposedly drew this red line at the bright line issue of voter suppression, which he declares is a bridge too far for Jones Days noble throat slitters to take on for billable hours!

Follow up reporting should note voter turnout rates in Detroit before that very same rare liberal EMFd us: voter turnout rates that plummeted almost down to single digits after he turned the restructured urban debt machine over to Mike Thuggin Duggan. Theres more than one scam to do purges, and call attention to the stench repackaged as roses, in their corporatized, racial capitalist world. Jones Day knows how, and is paid very well, to run them all. Every lucrative one.

My point is the Rare Liberals FPOTUS Resistance story in the Burn Pit of climate catastrophe, proxy war in Ukraine & the other ten thousand things in this falling debris is about as credible as the QAmok shaman. People dont vote in Detroit any more because they know the game is rigged. Not an excuse, a reality. Jones Day, FPOTUS & their erstwhile mainstream competitors leading the corporate wing of the Dems out of and back into the political wilderness according to election cycles, are only fooling themselves. Rearrange their faces and give them all another name. (Thanks, Bob) This is a collapsing empire, world, and ecology. They are responsible for this Burn Pit Society. Our responsibility to somehow turn away and lead others toward something better is manifest, literally a matter of survival.

To recap things said and occasionally heard in the last decade or so: All this FPOTUS death cult & Rare Liberal nonsense is just apologia for their failing Burn Pit system. Thats it. The sum and substance underlying all National Defense (& other relevant) Information today. All of it. Their empire is collapsing and theyre trying to cover it up and take out as much loot as possible, before the water & blood rise too high. What should we do?

If nothing else, because it hurts when I laugh and to calm my own severely traumatized nerves let me seek & offer the reader relief in the words of the poet:

The Buddhas Parable of the Burning Building

Guatama the Buddha taughtThe doctrine of greeds wheel to which we are bound, and advisedThat we shed all craving and thusUndesiring enter the nothingness that he called Nirvana.Then one day his pupils asked him:What is it like, this nothingness, Master? Every one of us wouldShed all craving, as you advise, but tell usWhether this nothingness which then we shall enterIs perhaps like being at one with all creation,When you lie in water, your body weightless, at noon,Unthinking almost, lazily lie in the water, or drowseHardly knowing now that you straighten the blanket,Going down fast whether this nothingness, then,Is a happy one of this kind, a pleasant nothingness, orWhether this nothingness of yours is more nothing, cold, senseless and void.Long the Buddha was silent, then said nonchalantly:There is no answer to your question.But in the evening, when they had gone,The Buddha still sat under the bread-fruit tree and to the others,To those who had not asked, addressed this parable:Lately I saw a house. It was burning. The flameLicked at its roof. I went up close and observedThat there were people still inside. I entered the doorway and calledOut to them that the roof was ablaze, so exhorting themTo leave at once. But those peopleSeemed in no hurry. One of them,While the heat was already scorching his eyebrows,Asked me what it was like outside, whether there wasAnother house for them, and more of this kind. Without answeringI went out again. These people here, I thought,Must burn to death before they stop asking questions.And truly friends,Whoever does not yet feel such heat in the floor that hell gladly

Exchange it for any other, rather than stay, to that manI have nothing to say. So Gautama the Buddha.But we too, no longer concerned with the art of submission,Rather with that of non-submission, and offeringVarious proposals of an earthly nature, and beseeching menTo shake off their human tormentors, we too believe that to thoseWho in face of the rising bomber squadrons of Capital go on asking too longHow we propose to do this, and how we envisage that,And what will become of theirsavings and Sunday trousers after a revolutionWe have nothing much to say.

Bertolt Brecht

Notes.

[i] To-wit & e.g., those that lie down with dogs and get fleas; impunity for throat-slitting; power from immense gaseous explosions; useful idiots; evil tools; big lies; alt civil wars; do your research; the storm; & etc.. If Merrick Garland, an old line GOP Independent Counsel, Kirkland & Ellis & however many other giant law firms are needed produce, file & serve a consolidated omnibus federal indictment of FPOTUS on a timely basis to follow up on the Mar-a-Lago NDI search & seizure, Ill report further from the conceptually restructured, upsized & evidence-based neighborhood of Nirvana. Until then, other legal entanglements of FPOTUS seem like what Lao Tzu called straw dogs, whatever that means! Rare liberals?
