Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Sea Of America"

  "Sea Of America"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4317

For any Fascists or other Trumpsters who may be looking in, I'm just
gonna nip this shit in the bud right the fuck now, 'cos I can kinda see
where this is headed...

The old names of the lunar "mare" were names given to them by ancient
astronomers who had weak 'scopes at best and who at first believed the
solidified dark basaltic lava plains to be "seas".

So, don't even go there, ya' doorknobs.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Look Cool; Vote DSA"

 "Look Cool; Vote DSA"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4313


It's all in the name – Democrats first, Socialists second (if at all).
If you want to see what the DSA is really all about, just have
yourselves a long, steamy gawk at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. It's about
sucking the blood of the Left by tempting us with fake "progressive"
politicians who insist that the DNC is an institution worth saving and
wasting our time and energy before zombifying the People's movements and
shuffling them off to the Movement Graveyard. But, hell; my peeps at the
Socialist Equality Party and WSWS lay it out a lot better in words than
I can at the moment. Here's a couple of points from the SEP's Ninth
Congress Resolution re: the DSA, Jacobin Magazine & ilk:

"16. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the initial
beneficiary of this radicalization. But the DSA is not a socialist
party. It is a faction of the Democratic Party, and its principal role
is to block the development of an independent political movement of the
working class, to capture the movement toward socialism and confine it
within the framework of the capitalist two-party system. Wherever it
holds office, this function is on display. In New York, Mamdani governs
in coordination with the Democratic establishment and the Trump White
House, imposing austerity on the workers who elected him, while
DSA-aligned officials preside over the destruction of public education
and expanding police budgets across the country.

17. The DSA’s central claim, that the Democratic Party can be
transformed from within into an instrument of progressive change, is
refuted by all historical experience. It is also exposed by the party’s
own response to the DSA’s electoral victories. The Democrats’ “centrist”
wing has issued a manifesto reaffirming that its members are
“capitalists” and launching a new witch-hunt against the party’s own
left."

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Out Of Missiles"

"Out Of Missiles"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4300


According to a Reuters report from a week or so back, the USA is
basically running out of missiles in Iran. Like, actually running the
hell out. I can't pretend I'm not enjoying this.

Meanwhile, the goddamn fat-ass loser at the other end of the Mall still
insists that Iran won't have a nuclear weapon, and that Iran owes
reparations to the United States for all sorts of never-proven deaths or
other sketchy conspiracies in a typically off-the-hook tweet.

Honestly, that clown could post a tweet threatening to hunt down the
Iranian PM and personally cut off the PM's balls and make him eat them
and wrap it with "Thank you for your attention to this matter".

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Proposed Iran Memorial Wall"

"Proposed Iran War Memorial Wall"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4289

(Full title: "Proposed Iran War Memorial Wall With Off-Ramp Bouquet")

There's SOMETHING stiffening out there right now, but it sure as hell
isn't Pete's "resolve", if you know what I'm sayin'.

Along with this particular concept, I'm thinking of something a bit
broader in scope, perhaps with the Wall as the centerpiece of a Donald
J. Trump Iran War Memorial Park, with the Wall as a centerpiece
overlooking a large Reflecting Pool in the shape of the Strait Of Hormuz
and, in the Pool – in the spirit of JFK's Eternal Flame – an Eternal
Algae Bloom in loving memory of the 18 (at the moment) brave troops who
laid down their lives for Democracy™ or affordability or some shit.

Then, maybe, on the other side of the Reflecting Pool, a small marble
amphitheater with a UFC cage for celebratory matches on Veterans' Day,
Fourth Of July, Memorial Day...?

More sexual harassment and abuse revelations about a politician who
guarded Abu Ghraib and already had a history of harassment and domestic

"There's No 'P' In Our Ool"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4279

When I first peeped that aerial shot on Reuters, it wouldn't leave my
mind.

On the one hand, it's another bucket of your garden-variety shallow-ass
Liberal pearl-clutching at seeing the Evil Orange Man giving the job of
restoring the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to a company which
contributed heavily to his campaign and which promptly turned the
project into a National Lampoon movie.

On the other hand, though – the part that wouldn't leave me after seeing
that Reuters foto – on a much deeper level than simply Trump doing his
usual nouveau-riche alcoholic country-club vulgarian shit, it was much
more symbolic of an empire in rapid decline, possibly even already at
the point where the Emperor is appointing his horse to the Senate. It
doesn't so much say something about Trump specifically as it does about
American society, culture and institutions in general.

"Warehouse Plans"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4255

If you're the kind of person who's up to their goddamn neck with seeing
millions impoverished and immiserated by capitalism (and I know I am)
the news of the rash of warehouse arsons a couple of weeks back –
including a $600m whomper in California – put a smile on your face.

As luck would have it, however, Trump's blockade of the Iraninan
blockade of the Strait Of Hormuz (you're it, no tagbacks!) is pushing
gasoline prices higher by the day, meaning that simple arson may soon be
out of reach of your average pissed-off working-class wage slave.

So, as any good revolutionary would do – adapt!

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "What If He Loses?"

"What If He Loses?"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3942

For the past month or so, MSNBC has been clutching every available 
pearl over how Donald Trump and his deformed minions will handle the 
possibility of losing the "election". Will they pitch a fit, scream 
"fraud" and try to lay siege to Capitol Hill to disrupt the electoral 
vote count and stage a putsch as they did in '21?

Personally, I can't help asking the same question about the 
Donkeycrats: how will THEY handle losing to a dude who resembles a 
villain from an old "Columbo" episode and whose followers are some of 
the most intensely stupid beings walking upright on Earth; how will 
THEY roll with a well-deserved ass-paddling at the polls after 
spitting in the faces of every Muslim-American and every American who 
actually cares about piddling shit like genocide.

Will the Democrats, on facing defeat, do some institutional 
soul-searching, self-examination and self-evaluation, accept 
responsibility and get to work on solutions or — as they've always 
done — pitch a fit, scream "fraud", blame the Left, blame Russia, 
create a climate of good old-fashioned McCarthyist bullying, fear, 
suspicion and suppression and try to litigate and investigate their 
way into power, as they did in '17?

Bwah ha ha ha ha ha hah, d'ahh, hell, man; who are we kidding?

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "America's Favorite Fascist"

From Mike Flugennock, DC anarchist cartoonist...

"America's Favorite Fascist"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3568

So, a few days back, a follower on Mastodon (spit) posted this article from the Union Of Orthodox Journalists from May 2018, about a Ukrainian postage stamp series honoring great thugs — uhh, soldiers — of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician) on its 75th anniversary. Yeah, that's right, Ukraine fought proudly on the fascist side, and venerates these filthy bastards to this day.

Then, I had to ask myself — why no stamp with Zelensky? God only knows they still loves them some Nazis over there, and I've pretty much lost track of how many times Mr. Z has been busted doing happy-snap foto ops with Azov Battalion and Right Sector thugs showing off their cool 3rd SS Panzers and Waffen SS gear.

The guy is hanging with Nazis, stomping all over the Left, beating  down the working class, walking like a duck and quacking like a duck.

If you're going to #StandWithUkraine that's your business, but at least take a good, steamy gawk at what you're standing with and own it.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Opening Bell" Inbox

 

from DC's anarchist cartoonist, Mike Flugennock -

"Opening Bell"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3522


"...freedom has many manifestations but the most important for many is 
the ability to work for your benefit, for the benefit of your children 
and the want of your country. Ukraine is a story of a future victory 
and a chance for you to invest now in projects worth hundreds of 
billions of dollars to share the victory of us… This will be your 
victory and a new success story for your companies."
—Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine, 09.06.2022

I've seen some pretty goddamn unctous fotos in the news in my time, 
but none quite as revulsive lately as this tableau featuring US stooge 
and Neo-Nazi Volodymyr Zelensky "virtually" ringing the opening bell 
via remote video link at the New York Stock Exchange — and none quite 
as apropos, given that shares in US "defense" industries are hitting 
the stratosphere, and Ford and IBM's infamous collaboration with the 
Nazis.

As reported at Grayzone and Multipolarista, Zelensky's economic 
"victory" is being won through the abolition of labor protection in a 
program not unlike that instituted by Pinochet in Chile in the 1970s, 
combined with some of that good old-fashioned globalized IMF/WorldBank 
"shock treatment". Ukraine is "open for business", the sonofabitch 
says — I don't know about you, but when I hear one of these bastards 
talk about how his country is "open for business", it's time to look 
the fuck OUT.

This crass stunt — along with Zelensky's suppression of Left 
opposition parties and his repeated foto ops with Nazis — would 
actually indicate that this is pretty much par for the course on Wall 
Street, which never met a war (or a fascist) it didn't like.

"We are pleased to welcome President Zelensky virtually to the NYSE 
bell podium, a symbol of the freedom and opportunity our U.S. capital 
markets have enabled around the globe. We are honored the President 
has chosen the NYSE to mark the kickoff of Advantage Ukraine and 
engage with the world’s business community."

Washington Post clipping 02.27.2021)

Oh, sweet jeeeeeezus, where do I even start with this? What, are they 
taking a break from slagging on Maduro? It's almost breathtaking, the 
way the Post is so obviously, openly mortified that the poor are being 
vaccinated first in Mexico...

Not to mention that they're basically taking this whole article to 
simply bleat "Listen to the science!" like everybody and their 
freakin' dog who's trying to shoehorn their goddamn agenda into 
someplace where it doesn't belong (usually people trying to whip the 
kids back to school so they can whip their parents back to work). 
"Listen To The Science" hit my Top Ten Bullshit Alarm List even faster 
than "Existential Threat". Why am I not the least surprised to see 
that clunker so quickly and clumsily weaponized?

I see absolutely jack in the Post about China doing their part in the 
WHO's cooperative vaccination program all over Africa and the Global 
South, but ZOMFG, López Obrador is vaccinating the poor first...! No 
big surprise here, either, as it seems Obrador is "the new Maduro" at 
the Post these days.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Hang In There, Baby!"

From Mike Flugennock, DC's anarchist cartoonist -

 "Hang In There, Baby!"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3110

God, I miss Trump already — yeah, I said it, and I'd say it again if I had to. The sonofabitch isn't even out of office yet, and I already miss him. I miss the breathtaking, aggressive stupidity, the comical  blustering, and those tweets. Oh god, yeah, those tweets — every one a solid nugget of pure comedy gold.

I really was hoping for another four years of those little classics, but no luck. Instead, we're in for four years of banal, empty, platitudinous bilge  — like this little stinkburger, where he takes forever just to tell us that all we'll likely get for coronavirus relief is another measly-ass $1200 check, and that otherwise we can go fuck ourselves. Christ, it looks like something off an old 1970s cat poster.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Kick Me Hard"

"Kick Me Hard"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3097

Right about now, I'm sure most of you are laughing yourselves silly at all the Progressives out there who voted for Biden under the delusion that they could "push him left", when anybody with two brain cells to rub together could take a look at his record over the past 40 years — not to mention his lineup of Cabinet picks — and see that anybody who thought they could push that sonofabitch left is on some kind of weirded-out psychedelic voyage.

Take, for instance, this whiny-ass tweet from the knobs at DNC front group Sunshine Movement: "We elected you, Joe, now it's time you act"...

Oh, f'crissake, give me a big, fat break. The old bastard IS acting. He came right and said that "nothing would fundamentally change" and that he wouldn't ban fracking right out in front of God and everybody.

"Progressive" voters bought that horseshit like a bunch of ignorant-ass rubes, and now the DNC is doing the equivalent of taping a big "Kick me hard" sign onto their backs, like we used to do back in seventh grade — and I, for one, have sub-zero sympathy for those losers.
