I Cough; Therefore I Am (Yet Alive) in Burning-Planet Smoke


MAN-MADE CLIMATE-CHANGE RADICALLY INTENSIFIES FOREST FIRES. The vultures of environmental apocalypse come home to roost in the ironically named Evergreen State, where the USian version of bourgeois environmentalism – an atrocity-fostering ideology the murderous reality of which seems 100-percent paywall-censored save for exceptions granted to its advocates – has long fulfilled its goal of protecting the Capitalists and their continuing the rape of the environment. Now the ashes of our burning planet are falling like toxic snow on Tacoma and the Puget Sound region in general. The concentration of smoke that at 19:30 PDT on 6 September 2017 officially ranges from “unhealthy” to “very unhealthy” thus threatens Tacoma with what could be the worst air-pollution disaster in its “Tacoma Aroma” history. It is already hospitalizing some of my neighbors in the senior housing complex where I live. Yesterday the smoke reduced the sun to an ominous red ball. Today it obscured the sun completely. And – of course – both the Trump/Pence Environmental Protection Agency and Mainstream Media, in accordance with their anything-to-protect-Capitalism policies, are minimizing the danger.


TRUMP 'JUSTICE': FEDERAL COURT OKS BANNING BLACK, HISPANIC VOTERS: a notably white supremacist law, originally nullified because of its undeniably racist intent, is reinstated by two infamously fascist* judges. By eliminating African-American and Hispanic Democrats from the Texas voter rolls, the law – which may change the outcome of the 2018 election – exemplifies the sort of judicial malevolence we can expect from the Trump/Pence Regime as it eliminates the last remnants of USian democratic processes.________________
*From now on and whenever appropriate, Dispatches will refute the deception intended by the euphemism “conservative” and comparable terms (“moderate,” “libertarian,” “neo-liberal” etc.). I'll call a fascist a fascist and a Nazi a Nazi – the Nazis distinguished by their avowed bigotry. It is the least I can do to foster acknowledgment of the extent to which “our democracy” is a Big Lie and the U.S. is already a JesuNazi dictatorship.
