Human history is a crime scene, and the perps have been, more often than not, men in uniform, often agents of the law, deployed by the political class to carry out their criminal intent. A defining refrain of Adolf Hitler was: “law and order.” Law enforcement entailed the enforcement of authoritarian ideology on the German public. To wit, we are witnessing the MAGA Reich’s ICE jackboot lowered on Minnesota where Trump has sent 13.6% of all ICE agents to Minneapolis, a city that represents .13% of the population of the United States.

The uniformed criminal, Jonathan Ross, committed state-sanctioned murder on Renee Nicole Good. The murderer is the recipient of government protection. Trump administration official dissemblers even have gone so far as to disseminate the photographically debunked fiction that he sustained internal injuries by being struck by the murder victim’s vehicle. A lie that authoritarian suck-ups will continue to parrot despite its repudiated status (as well as enhance his economic well-being by fattening the proceeds flowing into his GoFundMe account(. Said authoritarian ambulatory head wounds (of the psychical kind) who insist the political class be “tough on crime” act as the enablers of official criminality. Moreover, they are often heavily armed and will kill you to prove the righteousness of their system of belief.

In 1920s Italy and Germany, the capitalist class underwrote the activities of Black and Brownshirt fascist thugs before they gained power. The late, fallen hyper-authoritarian Charlie Kirk and his Turning Point USA klavern was/and remains funded by the billionaire class. Donald Trump was mentored in his criminal grift by the fascist enforcer Roy Cohn. The Island of Manhattan was gained by colonialists in a real estate swindle. Trump aims to extend the shakedown operation to Gaza, Greenland, and beyond.

René Magritte – The Menaced Assassin (1927)

Authoritarians promise safety and security only to make safe their own criminal activity thereby securing obscene amounts of ill-gotten wealth for themselves.

Donald Trump regards the Gaza genocide as an opportunity for real estate transactions. Trump has ordered the slaughter at sea of innocent Venezuelan fishermen, kidnapped the nations president and his wife, and he has contrived a shakedown scheme to steal the nation’s oil reserves. He sends fascist Brownshirt adjacent thugs, seething with sadistic intent, into urban streets and innocent people die at their hands.

Are you sleeping more peacefully at night, MAGA loyalist?

How are you feeling about your bloated, cusp of senility man-toddler about now, MAGA denizens? Have your grocery and utility bills and general cost of living been lowered because brown people are being rounded up,........
