Warfare state of disunion
Ol’ Schmo mumbled, stumbled and stuttered—yet proved
King-clear/Malcolm-masterful… Perfect harmony with
War-profiteer merchants of death/fraternal orders of
police, benevolent associations of patrolmen, bleeding
budgets— Killing class sisters and brothers abroad and at
home!
Ol’ Schmo—boxer who took punches in bunches—
ate too much leather— bleated, “I’m a capitalist…“
But his Cloud 90 Minute/Psychedelic Shack speech
Omitted the redacted text: “and I’m waging class-war
on the 99% on behalf of my personhood paymasters!!
To be clear, the price-gouging parasites and fossil
fuel predators whose wealth is increasing
exponentially!”
Ol’ Schmo’s Cloud 90 Minute speech omitted redacted
text. 3 Monkey-like, Saw no Evil; Heard no evil; Spoke
no evil of white supremacist-nazi-soldier-cop
-confederates storming Capitalist Hill on War House
orders January 6!
Ol’ Schmo’s Cloud 90 Minute pomp and circumstance
puppet show— Jingoist jack-in-the boxes rising and
clapping on cue… Every 30 seconds…
Madam Speakers’ fixed face and the ambitious
countenance of Ladee Blu/Benevolent Patrolmen
Association’s/Fraternal Order of Police’s go-to-girl;
And a Kentucky Turtle’s mean, austerity measure mug;
Raytheon’s Raven cawing, “War, war, war—forevermore!” to
grim-faced, junk metal-chested, grifter generals representing
Rule of maudlin merchants of death/sentimental warmongers’ bi
partisan bellicosity—Intersectional Empire: Made In America—
“U-S-A! “
Ol’ Schmo’s Cloud 90 Minute speech preceding shrill, vapid,
viral tag teams of talking heads—Fox-box foot soldiers—
Teaching us that you can see what you wanna see/when “You
ain’t got no responsibility” but to the warmongering
bourgeoisie…

Tensions increase in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
"Genocidal Joseph’s coat of many logos or Boss Tweet’s swastika sensibilities?" is the latest from BAR's Poet-in-Residence.
In the U.S., a nation built on the enslavement and exploitation of humans, the system of slavery cannot be destroyed. It has merely changed from one form to another.
Cedric Robinson's Black Marxism can be used as a tool to further expand our understanding of Israel's settler colonial domination over Palestine.
Black scholars have worked to challenge the accepted white supremacist imperialist historical narrative of colonialism and enslavement. The legacy of the Haitian Revolution sits at the center of this…
