Oh Tell, Baltimore.


The Fuel that Drove the long Drive to Kill Pussyboy! Kill! Kill!

His furious face reveals Capitalism in its true colors, and in its maturity of repulsive hatefulness while it simultaneously projects such depths of evil and conceit that there seems to be no possibility of communication between him and ordinary humans. Intoxicated by the success of following his base's instincts, he sees himself as a knight-errant in the modern world, but with consummate hypocrisy ... As an acting (heavy emphasis on the "acting") christian, his main belief is that he can get away with anything, from adultery to crime ... and he can.

SEND THEM BACK! SEND THEM BACK!
(I mean that in the nicest way).

Yet even so, while seeing the malignancy he displays as unmistakably as a cancerous tumor, risking all, facing annihilation, we the persecuted flee into the arms of your embruted American humanity: hoping to be embraced by the outspread wings of America; only to have its true face revealed to us. It's bones are brass; American humanity hates us, scorns us, disowns and denies us, its features iron. In running from the hungry blood-hound we've encountered the devouring wolf - from a corrupt and selfish tyranny - to a hollow and hypocritical sanctuary.

In the state of Maryland- in the City of Baltimore - where at one time slavery, wrapped in its own congenial, midnight darkness, was free to develop all it malign and shocking characteristics; where it could be indecent without shame, cruel without shuddering, and murderous without apprehension or fear of exposure, we can see the reflections of its past in the words of our president.

In its isolation, seclusion and self-reliant independence, the US stands resembling what the baronial domains were during the middle ages in Europe. Grim, cold, and unapproachable by all genial influences from outside communities, here it stands, abjuring all that relates to humanity and morals.

We are all victims of the same overshadowing evil.

This immense wealth; this gilded splendor; this profusion of luxury; this exemption from toil; this life of ease; this sea of plenty; aye, what of it all? Should these pearly gates of happiness and sweet content be flung open to such upstarts as immigrants? Far from it. The poor huddled masses on hard ground sleeps while soundly the voluptuary reclines on his isotonic mattress and downy pillow. Yet lurking beneath all their privilege lie invisible spirits of evil, ready to feed the self-deluded gormandizers with aches, pains, fierce temper, uncontrolled rampages, dyspepsia, rheumatism, lumbago and gout. 

But our Fearless leader chooses to focus on deriding Life in Baltimore.

This natural wickedness of his heart has not been removed, but only reinforced, by his profession of religion. In Baltimore, as in the rest of the White Supremacist South, professedly christian slaveholders, echoed now by the modern professedly christian immigrant bashers backing up every word of the President with the largest percentage of "Christian" supporters than any before him, had once upon a time, amidst all his prayers and hymns, shamelessly and boastfully compelled in their own homes undisguised and unmitigated fornication as a means of increasing their human stock. While this fact would be met with disgust and shame Now, in the south, "in the day", such niceties were laughed at,  smart and praiseworthy was such a man and no more condemned there for buying a woman and forcing her to devote her life to dishonor than buying a cow for breeding stock from her.

The Tyrant's voice:

They would make bets on a slave to see who could drink more whiskey and so to induce a rivalry among them for  the mastery in this degradation. The scenes, brought about in this way, were often scandalous and loathsome in the extreme. Whole multitudes might be found stretched out in brutal drunkenness, at once helpless and disgusting. A dose of vicious and revolting dissipation, artfully labeled with the name of LIBERTY. When the holidays were over, they all staggered up from their filth and wallowing, took a deep breath , and went away to various fields to work. 

This religion of the south that once enshrined slavery as white man's burden, is still, as reflected by its  unstinting admiration for the profanity and race-baiting of their hero, a mere covering for the most horrid crimes; the justifier of the most appalling barbarity; a sanctifier of the most hateful frauds; and a secure shelter, under which the darkest, foulest, grossest, and most  infernal abominations fester  and flourish.

In Baltimore, during the administration of our Current Leader's favorite President, Andrew Jackson,  the fact of being the slave of a religious slaveholder, was the greatest calamity that could befall one. For of all slaveholders, religious slaveholders were the worst, the vilest, meanest, and basest of their class; the most extreme in their malice and violence. They firmly believed the good slave must be whipped to be kept good. And the bad slave must be whipped to be made good. The scarred backs of slave women were the most immediate witness against them.

The man unaccustomed to slaveholding, would be astonished to observe how many floggable offenses there were in the slaveholders' catalogue of crimes and how easy it was to commit any one of them, even when the slave least intended it. A slaveholder, bent on finding faults could hatch up a dozen a day, if he chose to do so and each one of these had punishable description. A mere look, word, or motion, a mistake, accident, or want of power, were all matters for which a slave could be whipped at any time. Does a slave look dissatisfied with his condition? It is said, that he has the devil in him, and it must be whipped out. Does he answer loudly when spoken to by his master, with an air 
of self consciousness? Then must he be taken down a peg or two by the lash, well laid on. Does he forget to pull off  his hat, when approaching a white person? Then he must, or may be, whipped for his bad manners! Does he dare venture to vindicate his conduct, when harshly or unjustly accused? Then he is guilty of impudence, one of the greatest crimes in the societal catalogue of southern society.

... The feeling was very bitter in Baltimore and all colored people, free and slave, suffered all manner of insult and wrong. Baltimore, where it was feared that training slaves to be mechanics would allow the slavemaster to dispense altogether with the services of the poor white worker.

To strike a white man was death; the whole sentiment of Baltimore was murderous "Kill him kill him kill the damned nigger, he struck a white person."

Such was the character of the men and the murderous spirit of the times in Baltimore, at the time of President Andrew Jackson. Andrew Jackson, he who President Plump, who holds fellowship with such holders and traffickers in human flesh as Jeffrey Epstein, has proclaimed is his favorite past President. 

Like greed today, then it was necessary to deny that slavery was a sin.

Thus was the Evangelical alliance formed. This was an attempt by slaveholders to form a union so as to weave a world-wide garment with which to clothe evangelical slaveholders.  Today this garment is better known as the hood and robes of the KKK.

Washington DC had two slave prisons.

White Supremacists' toolbox: While under British rule, the colonies ie England, used starvation, the bloody whip, the chain, the gag, the thumb-screw, cat-hauling (Look that one up for a truly gruesome description), the cat-o'-nine-tails, the dungeon, the bloodhound, all brought to the English colonies from the death camps of the West Indies plantations.

Our countrywomen in chains,

The whip on woman's shrinking flesh,

Our soil yet reddening with the stains

Caught from her scourgings warm and fresh.

–The Liberator, June 2, 1837

 .... for the slave must be brutalized to keep her a slave.

I am afraid you do not understand the awful character of these lashes (and the person inflicting them). You must bring it before your mind. A human being in a perfect state of nudity tied hand and foot to a stake, and a strong coward of a man standing behind with a heavy rope, knotted at the end, each blow cutting into his flesh, and leaving the warm blood dripping to the feet.

It was for these trifles a slave may be whipped, cropped, or branded in the cheek with the letter "R" or otherwise punished: 

 If 7 slaves are found in any road without a white person, 20 lashes apiece, for visiting a plantation without a written pass: 10 lashes; for letting loose boat from where it is made fast 39 lashes for the first offense, for the 2'nd, an ear shall be cut off from his head.

In the single state of Va, then, as now, home of the Capital, there were 71 crimes for which a colored person may be executed (3 such crimes for whites). 

If a colored woman, in the defense of her virtue, in defense of her own person, should shield herself from the brutal attacks of her tyrannical master, or make the slightest resistance, she could be killed on the spot. No law whatever will bring the guilty man to justice for the crime.

Slavery's defenders, from High Church to base humans sounded the same reasons then we hear today for refusing asylum to refugees from Capitalism's onslaught on their homelands:

 While America is printing tracts and bibles it is sending missionaries abroad to convert the heathen; expending money in various ways for the promotion of the gospel in foreign lands, even as refugees not only are forgotten, uncared for/about, but is trampled under foot while every church in the country remains silent. Every Minister of God supporting the sweeping up of human beings as debris to be sloughed off into the dustbin.

What reasons have we to promote White Supremacy in America? Why we have a sordid history of slavery as part of the religion of the land.  You can add an amendment to the Constitution, but  religions are free to preach whatever form of White is Right they deem profitable in this land where the Elmer Gantrification of religion goes uncommented on. Is it surprising that the pulpits of the south that once stood up as the great defenders of the cursed institution of slavery, remain mum in the face of the sufferings of innocents outside their purview? Ministers of religion come forward and torture the hallowed pages of inspired wisdom to sanction the bloody deed. Their current silence reflects the fact that they were once the foremost, the strongest defenders of the curious institution.

There was never any war between slavery and the religions of the south. The woman-whipping, the mind-darkening, the soul-destroying religion that existed in the southern states of America all were supported during Andrew Jackson's presidency. Slavery is a system of wrong, so blinding to all, so hardening to the heart, so corrupting to the morals, so deleterious to any actual religion, so sapping to all the principles of justice in its immediate vicinity, that the community surrounding it lacked the moral stamina necessary to its removal. Like Cowboy Capitalism, once it became unchallenged by any competing force, has now evolved into, it was a system of gigantic evil, so strong, so overwhelming in its power, that no one nation was equal to the task of its removal because the rich and powerful so easily bend the acts of government to their own selfish purposes.

In law, emigrants are treated more like these slaves of yesteryear: the slave had no wife, no children, no country, no home. He could own nothing, but what must belong to another. To eat the fruit of his own toil, to clothe his person with the work of his own hands was considered stealing. They toiled so that another could reap the fruit; were industrious that another could live in idleness; ate gruel that another could eat the bread of fine flour; labored in chains at  home, under a burning sun and  biting lash, that another could ride in ease and  splendor; lived in ignorance that another could be educated; was abused so that another could be exalted; rested his toil-worn limbs on the cold, damp ground so that another could repose on the softest pillow; was clad in tatters so that another could be arrayed in fine linen and was sheltered only by the wretched hovel so that we can dwell in McMansions we can afford only because they were built with the labor of lowly paid immigrants; and in this condition they are bound down as by an arm of iron.

The Fugitive slave act of 1859 whose functions ICE and the DEA now seems to have assumed, basically legitimated the kidnapping and selling (Collecting a bounty) of blacks as slaves throughout the nation.

Frederick Douglass in My Bondage and My Freedom from whom many of these descriptions of that Life in the Baltimore that was the basis for the resplendence it enjoys today, came from, was able to write about it despite the fact that teaching a slave to read was a crime, one punishable by severe fines and imprisonment, and in some instances, death itself.

This is the background of the White Supremacists; the heyday of their ascendancy that they so fervently wish to restore. White Supremacists who ignore the repeated annihilation by white people, of the inhabitants of the entire continent of white Europe, in world wars that embroiled the entire globe in their cataclysmic mass onslaughts, inflicted monumental sufferings on the Russians and attempted the final solution to the "problem" of the Jews.

Cowboy Capitalism's complete takeover of the world was the first step necessary in the longterm plan for mankind by proffering economics as a kind of escapism from political and ideological problems, its Mien Kampf written into its amoral "market" ideology of monetizing everything and denying value to any actual human aspirations if they cannot have a price tag slapped onto them. 

Before its shuddering collapse, Andrei Amalrik, author of, "Will the Soviet Union survive Until '84?" opined in his essay, "Three Western Approaches to the USSR", that the democratization of the USSR would be the best guarantee of the West's own security. He felt that,

"the idea of universal human rights should be the moral basis of the West. This doesn't mean offering asylum to a few dissidents,  or would-be emigrants, it is the whole problem of what values will gain the dominant position in the world order that is even now in the making."

As we now know, the US opted instead to debauch the entire concept of universal human rights and advocate Full Spectrum Domination (FSD) while undermining any authority the UN had and destroying the legitimacy of the ICC (International Criminal Court) so as to have no barrier to its illegal trampling around the globe for the resources it needed to effect its cherished FSD.

As with this weekend's El Paso massacre, the policies thus enacted redound onto the US citizenry, who is incapable of seeing these repercussions as blowback from a rabid lawlessness they have themselves engendered, preferring to see themselves as innocents in the face of the world's evil.

But when capital can cross borders willy-nilly, claiming the fruits of labor as their own property, to which deployment no restraints may be attached, even while Labor is forcefully turned back at the border and returned to the economic wasteland wrought by asset-stripping American hedge funds, banks, and MNC's, it is a Capital Crime, and should be punished as such. It is larceny on a grand scale and those who it most robs prefer to rail against the immigrant invasion rather than face the fact that the avatar of that policy is a billionaire who became one by robbing them of far more than anything their bugbear Hillary could ever have hoped to pilfer.

Such is the strength, not of hatred, but of love: Love of self, Love of ease, Love of money; but mostly of that aching, patriotic, atavistic Love of WAR that no other people on the globe embraces so fervently, accepts so nonchalantly, as Americans. ... if you doubt it, the Pentagon, the only house of worship Americans truly adore, can show you the receipts.
