Boosting Neil Gorsuch

Neither the mouse nor the corporation is a human.
Do god and Paper Citizens we call corporations have human rights?  
  
A staunch warrior for the dogma of corporate Paper Citizens and everything libertarian and god and trickle down justice, Neil Gorsuch is soon be inserted into our Supreme Court.  

The other never ending booster of corporate Paper Citizens, Justice Antonin Scalia is long gone.  Scalia enjoyed gunshot killing small animals and hanging out in five star hotels on the tabs of the big money owners of corporate Paper Citizens.  As solemnly promised to all the god and libertarian cults last fall, the Trump White House PR Hive worked successfully on to install Neil Gorsuch as a great and biblical replacement.  The other day the White House PR Hive proclaimed that Scalia was not recognized for legal scholarship like the precisely positioned Chief Justice Roberts.  But here now is a sterling silver-haired medallion for the best of the best libertarian and god judicial savants, Neil Gorsuch.  
  
Since the Santa Clara v. Southern Pacific decision of 1886 our nation's highest court has continuously affirmed the idea of "Corporate Personhood" or corporate Paper Citizenship.  In addition to recognition by the Supreme Court, a corporate Paper Citizen must be dutifully registered and birthed by the federal and state tax codes.  Libertarian and religious judges believe in the idea that a corporate Paper Citizen exists and thereby it must have a certain kind of right to life in court almost like a human.  Perhaps Neil Gorsuch knows this with the same deep rapture with which he imagines god and Jesus during his prayers.  Corporate Paper Citizens are secure in the codices of our common law America.  And as a sacred public relations promise a big corporate Paper Citizen will allow justice and wealth to trickle down to the little humans in America.  

Antonin Scalia and others on the court handed down the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission 558 U.S. 310 (2010) giving corporate Paper Citizens the untouchable right to spend as much money in our elections as they wish.  Even worse any Paper Citizen can go and buy secretly thousands of hours of TV and Internet commercials for their favorite candidate.  Because of it's mockery of fair play in our elections the Citizens United ruling has been compared to the ethical horror of the Dred Scott Decision of 1857 that reaffirmed slaves as property with no rights as citizens of the United States. 

Antonin Scalia lived a very good life as a human
because he devoutly respected the canons of Paper Citizens. 
A devout promise of trickle down justice and wealth by Paper Citizens is what Neil Gorsuch will extend for a few more decades on our Supreme Court.  Yes, the rancid inviolate secrecy for bags of money in our elections is un-American and unethical.  It may be time for those corporate Paper Citizens, those corporations, to register to vote at the booth and to come out of the Super PAC closets and do their duty as new Paper Citizens of the USA.  Called up and anointed by the White House, Neil Gorsuch's primary mission is to secure even more power on paper for any corporation that votes with their bags of libertarian and god money.  That money is the utmost power in our elections is an American tradition.  Sadly, those corrupting bags of money inflate the power of the Paper Citizens.  Corporate Paper Citizens can and do dishonor human rights with their bags of money.  A regular citizen is not as equal as a Paper Citizen in our USA. 
  
As an additional travesty of our democracy, the personal Neil Gorsuch is a John Birch Society Member.  Dead-Eye Dick Cheney is a card carrying member.  Papa Fred Koch of Koch Industries founded the John Birch Society.  In the Civil Rights days of the old south 1960s everyone knew that if you scratch a Bircher in a suit and tie you'll find the dark rotten blood of a Klu Klux Klansman in a white sheet.  Here's some ungodly lies on this poster from the Birchers that was circulated with Koch money around Dallas November 1963.

The White House PR Hive and the Power of Money

Probable Cause in Glastonbury by Banksy
It is only a lie if the media PR Hive at the White House says it's a lie. Lately the smell of lies like rotten seafood is all over the White House and the Capitol dome.
From artist Carol Leake, an old and dear friend in New Orleans, about the state of our government, “Actually, I think Paul Ryan is revealing his ideological obsession with getting rid of government. New Orleanians had an up close and personal experience 12 1/2 years ago of how things go when government is sabotaged by republicans. We never recovered. At the time, I thought that the outing of the republican agenda would be the only silver lining that Katrina had to offer." Why this destructive ideology from Speaker Ryan and most of the republican Congress?  Put aside the money for the Super PAC.  Put aside the aspirations of lobbyists like Grover Norquist and his bosses at the NRA who whisper in the ears of their shills like Speaker Ryan and Mitch McConnell.  Let's simply follow the taxes for the why.  
The carious Koch Brothers have their hands in bags of money for elections all over America.  So do hundreds of others with dogmas ranging from abject racist despotism to fake Christian boosterism. Think checks and balances for a moment.  Look it up, especially if your elementary education was home bible school.  The Heritage Foundation and ALEC and the Cato Institute and the Fund for Growth and other billionaire funded PR pods for dogma, all have deeply influenced America for the past twenty years.  These billionaires literally have no check on their power of money.  If Charlie Koch wants burn a hundred square miles of Grand Teton National Park to get a better view for his place in Jackson Hole, he wants no one to tell him he can't do this!  His gigantic power of money is absolute.  But the Federal Government has guns and tanks and lawyers who are equal to Charlie's.  So Charlie is frustrated.  He talks to his boys at Heritage and Cato, "The highest goal is to eliminate taxes... all taxes!  We get rid of taxes and we get rid of my enemy, the government!"  Thereby they'll erase the power of government.  Government is the big boss!  Only government can tell Charlie what he can and cannot do.  Old Charlie will not tolerate this.  It becomes an obsession for any billionaire that some big government can tell them what to do. If Charlie does not like it, he'll change it.  Look at the gas stations in Palm Springs.  There used to be all brands there.  But it now looks like old Charlie got rid of all the competition for his own little Valero Petrol brand.  It's practically a monopoly for Valero out there in the desert.  Charlie wants to get rid of that competing brand we call the government.  
Charlie Koch got all of this vision from his bible upbringing in Oklahoma and his study of Ayn Rand as a teenager.  To this day Ayn Rand's little books are like bibles for all those pubescent minded billionaires who need some pump-me-up with their morning cappuccinos and croissants.  When the caffeine kicks in Charlie Koch feels better about his life and his work, and he runs the glorious self-made man image of John Galt through his mind.  Christians in Nashville and Iowa do the same.  They repeat and repeat the image of a white boy blue-eyed Jesus doing powerful things in their minds.  Those things they could never do in reality because the government just would not allow it.  Therefore Charlie Koch and the Nashville Christians and the Iowa Christians have the same enemy, the government!  The government can't be more powerful than Jesus!  Jesus is the boss!  The government can't be more powerful than god!  God is the boss!  If the government acts like Jesus or god then we've got to destroy it!  Onward Christians soldiers!  But wait!  There's a problem here!  Our government has a plan.  It's called our constitution.  The people put this source in charge.  Not the money.  Not god or Jesus or John Galt or any billionaire including Charlie Koch and our President Big Trump and our US Congress and our White House crew.  The people have the power.  We are many more than you despite the enlargement of your power given you by your PR hives.  The people have the power.

Mental Nightfall In America and the Coming War Against God Encrusted Libertarians

Ayn Rand
"Youthfully Yours"

This is a coming war.  It is a war against dogma and all things Un-American.  An old friend in Berlin, Axel Melzener said a German phrase for the current plight of the USA is "Geistige Umnachtung," meaning mental nightfall.  

It is not democratic or federal or benign what the republican tea party libertarians like Rand Paul and Scott Walker and Ted Cruz and Mike Pence rigidly accept as their calling.  These men are disrupting our America.  

Libertarian dogma has been infused in every decision made by the scant male majority of the Supreme Court of the United States in the last ten years.  Both Scalia and Thomas tout Ayn Rand's influence on their paper-thin contortions of the United States Constitution.  Using Ayn Rand to interpret the Constitution is destructive to our America.

Just like the Scientologist L. Ron Hubbard, all of Ayn Rand's novellas are Science Fiction salve for teen age angst.  Atlas Shrugged is the republican Mein Kampf.  And the Krupps... well, now we have the Kochs.  This has become another savage tea party republican joke on America.  

The libertarians are the intellectual fountainheads for the tea party.  Young Rand Paul was even named after Ayn Rand by millionaire Poppa Ron Paul.  The libertarian creed demands social and economic Darwinism that could only be described as sociopathic.  Government controlled by business destroys free society.  In America we have seen the effects of giant inhumane companies that make profit the only goal.  Historically, look up the Ludlow Colorado massacre in tents in the night of women and children protesting for better wages and working conditions.  For modern times look up the actions by overzealous cops against rioting black people or drugstore cowboy vigilantes who murder without regret or consequence like George Zimmerman.  Some of the poseur politicians like Scott Walker and Ted Cruz and Rand Paul and Mike Pence and and Paul Ryan plus captains of industry like David and Charles Koch read Rand's work as the torah for their thousand year republic.  


Thomas Jefferson
Official Presidential Portrait
by Rembrandt Peale 1800

Thomas Jefferson warned the American people, "... the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered...I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies... " 

Academics back in the cold war days of the 1950's declared that the USSR communism of Stalin and Krushchev was a radical religion with all of the formal dogma and doctrine of any faith.  It's pretty much true that dogma and doctrine of any kind can be seen as a religion.  With the exception of communism, Americans have always been very tolerant of religion.  Over our entire history as a nation, dogma and doctrine flourished in various cults that rose up and found a zealous following.  In the 1800's Joseph Smith founded the Church of the Latter Day Saints based on the Book of Mormon.  An angel gave Elder Smith the entire Book of Mormon in a revelation in the woods near Harmony, Pennsylvania.  Elder Smith discovered that Jesus came over to the Mexicans and taught them the way to salvation and the afterlife after his time in Jerusalem.  A bit later, Mary Baker Glover Eddy discovered in her revelation that one's own mind can cure all ailments that come along.  Mrs. Eddy founded the Church of Christ Scientist.  By this cult's dogma and doctrine there's no need to get vaccinations for disease because no disease can be more powerful than the human mind helped along by Jesus or some other god.  The Krishnas.  Aimee Semple McPherson.  L. Ron Hubbard.  
Yogananda.  The Klu Klux Klan.  There are dozens more.  

In our times the media hype attending the tea party republican cult is a never-ending stream of disinformation that aids and abets murder and mayhem all over our America.  It is not benign what the Scott Walker and Rick Scott et al stand for.  Their tea party creed demands social and economic Darwinism that could only be described as sociopathic.  The doyenne and reputed founder of the tea party, Ayn Rand concealed the code of objectivism under the veil of "libertarianism."  

In her book Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand saw herself as a savior for Americans who wanted no interference by the rule of law or government:  "My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute."  This is a pristine version of the republican's "American Exceptionalism" accenting the hubris of the all-important agendas of god and business and profit destined to prevail and to rule over all our local and state and national governments.  

Sadly the United States of America has made a giant exceptional cult out of our Thirty Years War against "terrorism" all over the planet since 1991 when we invaded Iraq.  The cult of our Thirty Years War is good for some businesses and parts of our economy.  Thomas Jefferson warned us that government controlled by business is "more dangerous than standing armies."  To date our Thirty Years War has cost us trillions of dollars in debt and thousands of lives of our children.  

About the money debts of our Thirty Years War, let's remember that libertarian, Grover Norquist?  Grover Norquist is the single-minded lobbyist for curtailing the federal government by eliminating all taxation.  Grover knows well the end effect of his obsession is private everything in America.  Here's Grover's solemn prayer, "The free market will solve all our problems, and for everything else, god will quickly cover!"  

Grover's paychecks come from branches of the House of Koch in Wichita like the Heritage Foundation and Americans for Prosperity plus a national board member status from the NRA lobby in Washington.  If Ayn Rand is a make-believe Catherine the Great of the tea party then Grover Norquist is an American Grigory Rasputin who whispers into the ears and thickens the wallets of all the Pay-Per-Vote™ powerful in the Capitol Dome.  

An international example of such a libertarian cult gives us the Russian icon, Vadimir Putin.  Putin's recent moves in the Ukraine are very much libertarian and anything-goes tea party.  It's almost like Putin had read about John Galt and then took on the personality.  Maybe that's why some tea party candidates for President rail on and on about the Putin invasions and how we need to stop them with all our armies.  The American libertarian tea party is simply jealous of the power that their Russian doppelganger Putin has achieved.  

We Americans can be thankful for the short memories of our voters, and thereby our cults may have short timelines.  

If we are lucky, all the rubes and the media will soon catch on to the tea party cult of our Thirty Years War and turn away!  But for now this is war!  We'll keep fighting the war against our Thirty Years War and all of these cruel cults, America!  Thomas Jefferson is our heroic warrior!
