Please, Can We Get a Regime Change Here?

By DIANE GEE

"Hated the world over,
but in utter terror of crossing them."

It is becoming impossible to have a real conversation around here. Being an out-where-the-buses-don’t-run, fringe leftist has always made conversations difficult.  The neo-cons think we are crazy.  The liberals think we are delusional purists.  The centrists don’t think at all… wait, that’s not fair.  The centrists mostly think that our system is as fixed as gravity, a universal truth that cannot be changed, so any activism is tilting at windmills; hand me the remote, let me get a beer and chill already.

But now? I see former peace activists mass-reproducing the Red Scare propaganda with McCarthy-esque fervor, while cheering every protest in even nominally socialist countries to let the rich back in to run things. I see the Snowden supporters clamoring for the head of Assange, calling Wikileaks publications “weaponized truth” that harms us!  Facebook even has a tool to self-check if any of the evil Russkies have infiltrated your feed.  What the actual bloody hell, America? 

If Moolah was Mullahs

[dropcap]L[/dropcap]et me tell you about Nambia, folks.  It's not just a country some Cheeto made up, it’s a code word.  It’s a real place, just a secret name.

Their Mullahs, you see, run the joint with the most severe dictators on the planet.  They are evil despots.  They grab a couple local Imams every few years, and after making them do barbaric blood rituals to pledge their fealty to the Imams, make their people choose between them. The people despise them, but choose anyway, mostly based on the color of the banners they wave.  The people of Nambia may not know much, but they know what color they like.

The last Supreme leader they chose was so bloodthirsty he bombed more countries than the last 3 combined, including some of his own citizens. The new one is verifiably insane, constantly whipping out his nuke button and flailing it around in other countries faces like a flasher with advanced syphilis on meth.

It's not just the Supreme leaders that are evil, either, their entire Councils are made up of pedophiles, rapists, thieves and embezzlers. The people have no choice in this, they are given one of two hand chosen Councilors to choose between.  It’s a win/win for the evil, dictating Mullahs.

The Mullahs created laws that their peasants have to tithe to them, with the promise that their mandatory pay-share with the Mullahs will be used to help the peasants, but it was a sick, cheap trick.  You see, the Mullahs own all the Banks, all the Weapons Factories, and all the Prisons and they take the peasant’s money and use it to buy things for themselves, making them richer.

It is a barbaric regime, I tell you. They have 2.3 million of their citizens locked up for reasons real or imagined.  Their police force is armed with military weaponry, including tanks and drones that they use on their people. In fact, 100 times more of their citizens were killed by their paramilitary police, than by enemies of the nation, nearly 1200 were shit in the streets without arrest, charges or a trial.  To put it plainly?  The Mullahs see their own people as enemies of the state, incarcerating more than 3 times the rest of the advanced countries added together.  They use inmates for forced, mostly unpaid labor, sometimes giving them a dollar a day to circumvent world judgment about slave labor.  It is a Prison population, and needs saving.

Nambia is a Spy Nation, too.  We aren’t talking about the little cameras covering every inch of every street and business, nor the tapped phones, or internet data collection they use on their population – they spy on the world.

The Mullah’s operatives infiltrate every speck of the globe, creating chaos wherever they go.  It pretty much follows a formula:  destabilize a region by arming terrorists or so-called freedom fighters, install a Mullah-friendly regime, and then force their people to work for them.

If that doesn’t succeed, they create a narrative how evil another country is, and decry their human rights violations, while being among the worst violators themselves and without declaration of a War, or the approval of their nation, just carpet bomb that country.  Somehow, the Nambians never rise up against it. The rest of the world is too frightened by the Mullahs to stop them. The Mullahs send their Supreme Leader to negotiate their terms, and those terms must include something horrifying, because the world always complies.  They are the penultimate terrorists if you think about it. 

Hated the world over, but in utter terror of crossing them.

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he population of Nambia is becoming economically desperate.  While they have more empty homes than homeless people, they refuse them shelter.  One in four of their children don’t have enough to eat. They lack jobs, and the jobs they do have pay so little they cannot make ends meet.  If they protest, they use rubber bullets on them, gas them, and have sound and microwave cannons used on them.  If they protest that violence against them, they are shot dead.

Often, out of desperation, they turn to crime themselves to feed their families, forming gangs for protection, and turn against one another.  The Mullahs manipulate this to keep them divided economically, racially, by region or religion.  It also gives them ample reason to fill their gulags with more prisoners for profit.

There is systemic racism in Nambia.  People of color are arrested at 5 times the rate of whites, killed by the police at 3 times the rate of white.  They are segregated in slums for the most part, not hired by Mullah industries, and their public services are non-existent compared with white neighborhoods.

In Nambia, only the wealthy can have education or health care. The poor often die of simple infection.  They forced Nambians to pay into a gambling scheme where they have to pay companies a percentage of their paycheck for health care, but have something called a deductible that no one can afford. But pay they must, or Nambia will take their money anyway – seize properties, garnish pay, or take their tax returns. If the choice is food or paying these companies, they must pay these companies.  And the companies most often refuse to pay for medical bills even after the deductible is met. Medical debt is the number one reason Nambians go bankrupt.  Fact.

Public education in Nambia is in its death throes.  Schools are decaying, lacking books and sometimes even toilet paper.  Mullah-owned “charter” schools that are pay-to-go are replacing them; again mandatory payment.  You must go to school, and if your only option is charter, you have to pay, or be jailed for not sending your child.

Higher education comes with crippling debt at high interest rates, often more than a lifetime’s earnings once graduated, making it next to impossible for all but the top 5% earners to send their children.

Although the technology is there for clean energy, and they have vast lands in Nambia, they refuse to use ample sunlight, prairies full of constant winds, or their enormous shorelines to produce power. Instead, they are pumping the filthiest of tar sand oil through pristine watersheds, are drilling in their oceans and bays, and tearing mountains apart for coal.  One of their appointed Councilors even made a public statement saying clean air was bad for children. Can you imagine that?  An “elected” Nambian leader calling for dirtier air?

Nambia claims a free press, to be sure it is not “state” owned.  6 corporations, all members of the Mullah Class own 90% of the media.  15 individuals own every single newspaper, television station and radio station in the country. This clearly is not a free press.  They propagandize the people with a barrage of misinformation and mind-numbing drivel, intentionally dumbing them down, or working them up to meet their goals.  The news is so scripted from town to town; you will see every reporter use the exact same words to describe any event. Worse, Nambia is now cracking down on Internet freedoms, blocking news from other countries that do not propagate the Nambian slant.  They have made recent changes to slow down certain web sites and promote Mullah friendly, if not Mullah owned sites.  Soon it will be all Mullah, all the time, despite the Nambians protesting the change in strong terms.

It is an evil country, I tell you.  Despot dictators.  No free elections. Extreme unemployment. Poverty. Pollution. Bands of Paramilitary Police shooting people. No free press. No health care.  School only for the Elites. Leaders that advocate assaulting women.  Deeply Racist. Disenfranchised, hopeless people. Class War, Class Divide, the reeks and the wrecks. Kings and their puppets. Everyone else is the enemy.

It is NOT a Democracy in Nambia.

Nambia is spreading like a virus throughout the world, trying to take it over for the Mullahs that own it.  It is a terrorist state.

We need a Nambian Regime Change. And you know who Nambia really is.  Don’t you?

Can We Talk?

I doubt my little semi-satirical story will change any minds, but there it is.  The numbers are rounded for simplicity, not embellishment, so please no nitpicking. The 1% (and I don’t care if the term is 'passe’ or not) really do have think tanks, vetting of candidates, and run this country like a shadow government.

You see, every single thing the US accuses other nations of is something we are even guiltier of ourselves. We interfere in every election everywhere, when we can. Our people are fighting austerity and poverty. We have nukes and a lunatic at the wheel. Our elections are so money driven that we have no real choice – we basically get pawn A or pawn B, both of whom are funded by the same people. Our populace barely bothers to vote anymore, because we hate the lizards. (HHGTTG*) We are un-or-underemployed. We are being foreclosed upon. We have crippling debt.  We are spied upon.

If I hear, “those poor people” one more time, I am going to go Linda Blair.  It is not our appointed place to let our 1% interfere for their own gain. Most color revolutions are US created, and we should not be so doing.  Real protests are something their own people should solve.  Of course, if only we could have real protests here!

If I hear “Russian influence” one more time, I’m going to go postal. Against every accord ever, we have surrounded them with bases, and constantly threaten them. They are not threatening us, so who cares? We have opinions about every election everywhere. They are allowed their opinions, and reading their opinions isn’t treasonous, it is called freedom of the press.

People refuse to follow the money.  BRIC nations, oil, gas and pipelines drive all of the animus our 1% has towards any nation on any day. Free trade outside our dollar is the next reason.  Socialism to any degree is the third.

It is NEVER about “human rights.” Were it, Wahhibist Saudi Arabia, who funds and supplies ISIS is the world’s worst human rights violators, would be our enemy.  You cannot bomb people to save them.

The US “left” has become the right, and the US “right” has become batshit crazy.

I get that people under socio-economic stressors want easy answers, a cause d’jour, and a scapegoat. The conversation stops there.  They can no longer hear. And this, my friends is how Fascism is born.

Will someone please come topple this shit, and install freedom? We need a reboot. Desperately.
