Fear of the Father?

 

On not listening to Donald Trump’s 

State of the Union Address, 2026

He comes through his whirlwind

of hate

like a force to be reckoned with.

 

His belt like a child-eating snake

curling its lip into the sneer

of power.

 

i run the length of our

collective poverty

to escape the blows

 

i hide beneath tables

that never ever saw

a book open

 

or a pen poised

or a clean sheet

of pure white paper. [Contd.].

...4

a man who will beat his children

with brutality

is just one more tyrant among many

 

like

this fascist

of the airwaves

 

the one who never managed to find

a refuge from the belt

or the snarling sneer and

 

so was

forced to become President

of All and Everything

 

and Nothing...[contd]

O Lord of the Fascist underbelly

the morning after the storm cleared all

the leaves from the trees and a million

starving refugees were washed down

the gutters into a soulless sea.

 

O, Lord of the men & women in

the Business of Banks and Billionaires

with their poisoned currency.

 

O Lord of Corruption,

this lord of Chaos and Deceit

now “weaponised”...

 

Oh, listen, listen carefully, 

because 60 million Mercenary Millionaires

fear the Scourge of Democracy

(confronting the Terror of their Technology)

…but not the screams of dying children

in all the Gaza’s of our worst nightmares.

FOR THE PRESENT?

“Fascism in power is a compound, a powerful amalgam of different but marriageable conservative, national-socialist and radical Right ingredients, bonded together by common enemies and common passions for a regenerated, energized, and purified nation at whatever cost to free institutions and the rule of law. The precise proportions of the mixture are the result of processes: choices, alliances, compromises, rivalries. Fascism in action looks much more like a network of relationships than a fixed essence.”

Excerpt From: Robert Paxton –“What is Fascism” (PDF)

And

“In a column that appeared online on Jan. 11, 2021, Paxton wrote that the invasion of the Capitol “removes my objection to the fascist label.”

Trump’s “open encouragement of civic violence to overturn an election crosses a red line,” he went on. “The label now seems not just acceptable but necessary.”

Robert Paxton: “It’s the real thing. It really is.”(in his 2021 Newsweek column)

Is It Fascism? A Leading Historian Changes His Mind.

“Robert Paxton thought the label was overused. But now he’s alarmed by what he sees in global politics — including Trumpism.” Elisabeth Zerofsky – October, 2024

 This Fascist Inside of Me

Global Rights

This fascist inside of me

wakes at dawn

in the deep-dumb-darkness

of their double-digit

 

to crawl through the needle’s-eye,

to listen loudly to this poison i drink,

each news-cycle, in

a world already lost.

 

This fascist i can no longer love,

burnt twice in an inquisition of

power and poverty,

bent and torn on words dressed

 

like these well-dressed business-men

who pimp our most expensive prostitutes:

the men in power and the women

who greet each day with a faith

filled with both fear and venom.

 

This fascist among fascists,

this white supremacist of the soul!

this sex-crazed body-snatcher

who torments even my sleep

with dreams of our history in flames

and with words bitter like

poison.

 

Now, let it be said,

is the Time of Monsters,

uprising, today, all around us…

 

…the ones who slept snugly

while Berlin burned

and the rats commandeered

the sinking ship.

 

2

This is the time where Nature must sleep

waiting for the sperm of the Great-Ape

to dry and sink to sand and dust,

to disappear forever in the death of deserts.

 

Now is a time of permanent war.

 

And all that is different is

this solitary white male,

brain engorged with the blood

of dead penises

 

and with no blood left

to be siphoned from the poor

now He will turn

his shrill-sharpened teeth

on his own

 

this monster – who eats

even its own children – on its deadly way

down.

 

3

Once we were asked

who are these criminals, you speak of?

 

But, look, already they are fading

into the forgetfulness of the fire

 

for we have buried our own

hearts and minds

in the loneliness of this belonging,

burned our own homelands,

broken everything down

to the boneless bone.

 

and all that is left now

is their fascist inside of me,

 

the One i can no longer love

this fascist among a multitude of fascists

patrolling these welcome-less walls

 

as our mindless ghettos

burn fiercely

and with much hatred,

to the ground. 

[8 October – 14 November, 2025]

This beast inside of me

born and bred where culture

becomes the craft of the coloniser

and where nature must soon sleep

our very own insatiable sleep.

 

This beast inside of me

reared on the savage bone,

broken on the rusty wheel

of a history

disembodied of heart and

with a mind nearly mindless

 

this beast that was empire-born

and brutal-bred

in blood and bewilderment

waking with a snarl

a century's most poisonous ideology

with mask and truncheon and murder

 

now telling me

who i could be, one-day,

a rising star of the swastika, another

celebrity of chaos and cruelty

and catastrophe.                                    

 

This beast inside of me

with its desperate belonging,

in a world surely deranged by

the normality of its excess,

with its paper excrement called Money

and its morbid cunning,

its death cult of Corporation & Congress

knowing nothing of its own dialectic,

its dangerous and sudden demise

now scheduled, and on time

-  just like our own.

Update on Palantir, Etc (23 October, 2025)

The Rise of the Thielverse & the Surveillance State | The Chris Hedges Report - "A Coup D'état by Inches"

"There were many, including some liberals, who mistakenly believed the Trump administration would dismantle the Deep State. In fact, as the investigative reporter Whitney Webb has documented, Trump is closely allied with the most authoritarian figures in Silicon Valley, such as Peter Thiel, who envision a world where our habits, proclivities, opinions, and movements are minutely recorded and tracked. These Trump allies do not intend to free us from the tyranny of intelligence agencies, militarized police, the largest prison system in the world, predatory corporations, or the end of mass surveillance. They will not restore the rule of law to hold the powerful and the wealthy accountable. Nor will they slash the bloated and unaccountable spending, some $1 trillion by the Pentagon. They are rapidly purging the civil service as well as law enforcement and the military not to eradicate the Deep State but ensure that those in charge of state machinery are exclusively loyal to the whims and dictates of the Trump White House. What is being targeted is not the Deep State but the laws, resolutions, regulations, protocols and rules and the government civil servants who enforce them which hinder absolute dictatorial control. Compromise, limited power, checks and balances, and accountability are slated to be abolished. Those who believe that the government is designed to serve the common good rather than the dictates of a tiny cabal of billionaires will be forced out. The deep state will be reconstituted to serve the leadership cult." Chris Hedges
