Showdown At the Uk Corral
even though Correa has finally
granted asylum to Julian
so that the empire’s little concubines
in England & Sweden can’t
pass him off to the growling beasts
salivating & waiting in the shadows of
the US (hands twitching fervently
in seething anticipation, all ready to
to torture him far far worse than
Bradley Manning has already been
& inevitably kill him in order to
spread fear to all who might try &
expose its lies & grotesquely villainous
acts in the attempt to stop it from beating
us all into further submission), the British
government wields its threats now to raid
the Ecuadorian embassy in order to chain
him up & take him, this man who has
opened the door, who has shown the
people of the world that they need not
get down on their knees & accept the
demands of the US---
that we need not lay down for the rape
that we need not do what we are told,
abiding the will of destruction that it
marches ahead with throughout the world
without conscience, as if history will
not remember what is happening, as if
this monster is impenetrable & invincible,
as if
it will never finally fall &
at home, here in the belly of the beast,
we will suffer at the hands of president
hope & change, whose National Defense
Authorization Act, eliminates Habeus Corpus
for us private citizens, using nearly $650 billion
dollars of our tax money to do so---
this showdown in the UK, shows just how
far the British government is going to go, in
order to suppress any individual who is
trying to illuminate & inform---it shows
just what the powers that be will do in order to
be good little dogs, tugging at their leashes,
held by the policeman of the world &
if they get away with it, it will be yet another
nail in the coffin of our species---
one more in the greater series of taking away
our rights, one more in the greater series
of commanding us to do the bidding of the
wealthy interests of the world & one more
in the rapid move towards extinction.
