Greetings Earthlings. While we tend to get into news about predators in the animal kingdom here on the show we are not big fans of predatory capitalism. Back in the hay days of the market there was always talk of trading in pork bellies (sounds predatory from here) but what about trading in carbon offsets? We ask Blake Lawrence, Marketing Manager at Cool Effect for some answers. As always we will also guide you along to witness this week's Fool-on-the-Hill and domestic terrorists like His Malignancy The Mad King and his enablers. That and more but first it's time for............Revenge of the Critters! Raging Grey Squirrel attacks close to His Malignancy's boyhood home.
This week's Fool-on-the-Hill covers a lot of ground. We consider ourselves generous calling 147 Repugnicans in the U.S. House of Representatives fools instead of seditious conspirators (even though they are) who supported at least one objection to counting President Elect Joe Biden’s electoral votes. Did we mention there has been no viable record of fraud in any of the states in question? All the far-right blather about a "stolen election" is pure fiction, it is "the big lie" of the era and the repugs baseless refusal to deal with reality paves the groundwork for insurrection. These seditious conspirators (Opps!) are little different than the unhinged mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol recently causing death and mayhem, in fact some Repug lawmakers were actually in the mob!. These fools were all abettors and enablers.
On to the biggest seditious conspirator of all, His Malignancy The Mad King who incited the riot and, being the coward he is, slithered off to the White House leaving his dupes to trash the Capitol Building and threaten, or worse injure or kill those within it. Efforts are underway to remove His Malignancy from office for his sedition and conspiracy to overthrow the election but far too many of his enablers continue their immoral and criminal support of The Mad King. In other words, this insurrection is still in play, even though another Day in Infamy has passed. This violation of our nation, on top of all the ecological deprivation he and his enablers have subjected this land and its inhabitants to, is domestic terrorism at its worst. O wait! Didn't the FBI label enviro activists as the greatest domestic terrorist threat not that long ago?? In another age this Mad King would have his head removed and his enablers sent to the dungeons.
Our Enviro Show Quote of the Week is spot on:
“We’re in a situation where the definition of terrorism is the use of violence, especially against civilians, to achieve a political aim,” Historian Michael Beschloss said. “That was a terrorist attack on our Congress... and our U.S. Capitol.”
