gotta say: 3,994 visits yesterday

It’s only in fiction that good guys wear masks

Zorro snicker snacking with his vorpal sword

the Lone Ranger Hi Hoing! Silver and his kemosabe Tonto

Superman never wore a mask

but he was created by a Canadian

Superman’s alter ego was clerkish Clark Kent

no man of ICE was our Supe

Even the nazi brown shirts and SS goons

didn’t wear masks

they were proud of purifying their homeland

for “security”

Who wears a mask?

bank robbers, purse snatchers

the bad guys in the movies

the very bad guys in Trump’s New World Order fantasy

Wonderful!!!   The comparisons drawn are cogent, powerful.  

It is perfect for the new issue  for Feb. Of The Banished Poets Society.

We have even stirred the more formal poets this time.  Love from Katherine.

The Fascism Checklist

CHARLIE ANGUS / THE RESISTANCE JAN 10

READ IN APP

Fascist leaders move quickly to establish a paramilitary force loyal to the ideology of the regime, sidelining traditional police and law enforcement. They become a law unto themselves.

ICE is now the largest Federal agency, flush with money and operating free from oversight and accountability. Are we surprised that they are shooting civilians in the streets?

Call this for what it is - the face of American gangster fascism.
