The loop has spun and reversed, the timeline has gone under to start back round again to the fall into winter of 2019, familiar but strange everything has splintered glitched veered into a new never seen boss level where your first life is your last, where there is no more respawning, no more waking dreams, no more going back to sleep, no more after dark my sweet and no more sleepwalking half awake.
No more it can’t happen here.
The deadman’s curve ahead is where untold horror lurks, where the abyss staring back into and through you is a fractal black hole, where the abyss casts dreadful shadows on the cave wall, where the abyss is so horrifying, so familiar, because it’s us.
The shadows on the wall are us. The abyss staring back is you me us, it’s all of us and always was.
To be clear, when Stephen Miller talks about “heritage” Americans, he does not mean the Iroquois, the Blackfeet or the Crow. He does not mean the Cherokee or the Shawnee who perished on the Trail of Tears, nor the native resisters slaughtered by American soldiers at Wounded Knee, soldiers who received medals for those kills. But it should not be lost on us that Miller’s favorite dead president is Andrew Jackson, same as his overlord.
Nor is he talking about the descendants of American slaves, some of whom can trace their bloodlines back to 1619, some two hundred years earlier than many of the first Ellis Island refugees. Or they could, if we had been less rude about keeping records and changing names and splitting families.
By heritage Americans he means the Mayflower descendants, the puritan whites, the unenlightened white zealots who burned witches. The white pilgrims who started the Thanksgiving mythology. The cowboy whites, the fabled gunslingers and the frontier whites modeled on Jesse James and Davy Crockett. The little house on prairie whites and the deranged godfearing whites who followed Brigham Young to Utah where they killed untold numbers of local tribespeople. The modern day whites who seethe at the idea of Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
If you think ICE will not move on to black after they’re done terrorizing the brown, you aren’t paying attention. Because they have certainly kicked the idea around in the interest of maintaining a comfortable white majority demographic into the decades ahead.
Miller has a project 2025 version of 40 acres and a mule swirling in the subtext of every speech and interview, every bit of veiled propaganda.
They are already sending undocumented people to south Sudan and Ghana, to Rwanda and probably the Congo, and they are being as secretive and oblique as possible about it. They surely didn’t choose to set up formal deportation agreements with rogue and failing African countries purely by coincidence. The border czar and Miller have both been heard intimating that “those people” aka the recent Latino deportees are better off in Ghana, that they are free to live as they like over there.
This is why they designated gangmembers and the drug cartels as terrorists. A state of forever war is how they postpone presidential elections until Trump dies in the White House and Vance takes over. They have so far only targeted gangs like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua, but doing so opens the door to deporting black and brown American gang members.
If the administration has not already greenlit plans to scoop up homeless black Americans who don’t have their birth certificates handy, they will soon. The white nationalist logic boils to the argument “those people” don’t even belong here, that it was a mistake to ever bring slaves over here. They will say with a straight face that the only reason they resorted to the transatlantic slave trade in the first place was the natives here were too vulnerable to smallpox and too difficult to capture and control anyway.
Miller will argue that sending homeless black Americans with criminal records back to Africa is doing them a favor. They will move on to black and brown psych patients and the mixed-race homeless, the race traitors.
If they haven’t discussed ramping up death row executions, starting with the black and brown murderers and rapists of white girls, or pesky repeat offenders like the mentally ill black stabber of a white blonde girl on a commuter train, they will soon.
If they haven’t considered designating the most isolated undesirable swathes of federal land as new age reservations for black and brown and muslim troublemakers, student protesters, junkies queers and psych patients clogging up the healthcare system, they will soon. They can’t deport everyone, after all. They will need laborers to toil in the new apple factories, to suffer in the cobalt mines, to work the farms in Argentina.
They are building camps. They mean to fill them.
Calling them detention centers doesn’t change what they are. Anyone who can’t prove citizenship and might be perceived as a problem later, they will be scooped up. Maga white males who grasp all of the above will soon feel safer joining up with ICE. The administration has already made the ICE budget greater than the military budgets of Russia and China. They will use that money to swell ICE numbers beyond the branches of our actual military with every white male willing to wear a mask and draw down on his neighbors.
They will create small stealth ICE units modeled after Seal Team Six, staffed with mercenaries called back from whatever black op shit they’re doing abroad for Palantir and BlackRock.
They will keep all of this going white hot gangbusters until the ‘26 midterms, which they intend to win or tank however they can.
Some among the Trump admin are delusional, yes. The banality of evil never fails to astound. They believe they are righteous. But some of them know very well they are actively committing war crimes compounded by daily humanitarian assaults, the violation of civil rights, the unwarranted seizure and disappearance of immigrants, refugees, and protesters. Next it will be journalists. They will not hesitate to make use of ever more extreme measures that harken the days of Zero Dark Thirty.
They know the strikes on Venezuelan smugglers violate international law.
They know the Hague already has a bounty out on Putin.
According to official numbers, the administration has deported 200,000 humans to parts unknown since the ICE purges began in earnest. They have already shuttled hundreds of thousands more to camps around the country. The prison business is a money-printing machine, after all. But the most troublesome prisoners will simply disappear.
If the president withdraws from NATO and invades Venezuela, sends troops to secure and control the Gaza strip, then moves to take over Greenland, violating the Geneva Convention at home and abroad, please tell me how this is not a Third Reich reboot. The UN has denounced Putin and Netanyahu. Putin cannot travel anywhere without fear of arrest.
How long before the world courts issue similar warrants for Trump.
The administration cannot afford to lose power.
The aftermath will be a reboot of the Nuremberg Trials if and when they do fall from grace.
JD Vance surely knows this. Stephen Miller most definitely knows this.
I believe even the poster child for imposter syndrome named Pam Bondi knows this and it is why she’s become more unhinged, why she is visibly unraveling.
We must game out what they are capable of. We must be awake. We must be aware that Trump’s blood circle is surely gaming various nightmarish endgame scenarios every day.
The no kings marches scheduled for next Saturday are a hopeful beginning.
If millions turn out perhaps they will grasp how truly unpopular and outnumbered they are. But this will not make them say oh shit we need to change course. This will only make them more urgent to shut down dissent, to cull the herd of the most vocal resisters, the ones perceived as future insurgents. The peaceful marches will paradoxically serve to make the administration exponentially more desperate, more dangerous.
I pray there are no shootings on Saturday. But the active attempts to rebrand these events as hate marches and antifa insurrection will bring out openly armed counter-protesters. The peaceful frog protesters spawned by the now legendary Portland Frog are humiliating ICE and the administration by making them look absurd. They will not tolerate being made fun of much longer. They will unironically issue orders stating that masked protesters are possible suicide bombers and they will use extreme force on the peace frogs.
I am not worried about the national guard presence nearly as much as the wantonly lawless actions already on display by ICE. The guard are mostly 18-22 year old guys who signed up for one weekend a month. In the early 2000’s they might have found themselves unexpectedly in Iraq but most of the current guard have little experience beyond disaster cleanup, though some were deployed during the covid and George Floyd protests. Either way, they are if nothing else loyal to their own states, they took an oath and they have a code of conduct. They believe in the chain of command, or at the very least respect it.
Then again, nobody expected the guard to fire on student protesters at Kent State, either. But they did.
The admin will bring the hammer down on mass protests the same as the CCP did with the yellow umbrella protesters in Hong Kong five years ago, because they can’t afford not to, and because they are so hung up on appearing manly that they can’t bear to look weak by withdrawing peacefully. Anyone who watched mister fuck around and find out, also known as the Secretary of the Department of War, recently strut around with simmering abercrombie and fitch bourbon laced clean shave bravado before the brass surely saw that.
Regardless, the weekend marches will not be enough, the revolution will not succeed as a random event on our days off. The only way to stop this without armed resistance will be a general strike that chokes the system, plus a reboot of occupy Wall Street that includes occupy Pennsylvania Avenue.
Keep in mind the World Cup is coming to Canada, the US and Mexico in ‘26, which in normal times would already pose an international security nightmare. The administration cannot afford the optics of mass protests and chaos in the streets of world cup match cities. How will they secure those cities. How will they empty out the streets to avoid video of resisters clowning the administration for the whole world to see.
When Russia invaded Afghanistan, the Jimmy Carter admin decided to boycott the Olympics in Moscow. How violently will the Trump admin freak out if NATO countries and South American countries decide to boycott the World Cup, as well they should. Or will they just cackle with glee and say cool, now the American men’s team might win the cup.
What will they do if the American men refuse to play.
When they drop the phrase plenary authority into conversation, they are talking about the power of kings.
Winter is coming and the night of long knives is slouching in its wake.
ICE is not America. The government is not America. The oligarchs are not America. They want us to feel like rats in a cage, to turn on each other. To eat each other. The ninety-nine percent are America. We must come together and remember who the fuck we are. We must act like America still means something, or it means nothing at all. The abyss casts shadows on the cave wall. The abyss is us, the shadows are us and soon there will be no exit.
We must wake up.
peace.
History is right here in these words and no one sees it
I think by Heritage Americans he also means the descendants of the Scots Irish gunslinging frontiersmen types. Vance considers himself Heritage American, as do most rural militia types, by that definition. They tend to see the Massachusetts Mayflower and Arbella crowd as bookish and womanish.
Stephen Miller is descended from Jewish immigrants. How does he reconcile that in that sick brain of his? How do the Aryan Nation militiamen who do his bidding reconcile it?
Do you think the World Cup officials might refuse to play here?
