EVERYTHING EVIL EVERYWHERE AT ONCE
Cruelty and Chaos as Mad King ushers in a new Dark Age
The ominous signs of human civilization curling up and dying in America are everywhere you look… the stench of rot assaults your senses.

Kristi Noem — while wearing a $50K Rolex watch — struts her sadistic stuff, curls her lip and snaps her whip at a cage of nearly naked men, as Cruella De Goebbels, Kiss-My-Leather Queen of the Extermination Squad. Who could be more appropriately cast in this Nazi cosplay than a homicidal witch who shoots puppies in the face for fun?
You’d think they might want to avoid reminding us where we’ve seen this all before — but you’d be wrong.
Team Trump is flaunting its bigotry, gratuitous cruelty and lawlessness in every possible way. They never stop advertising their love for Nazis, aping Third Reich policies, and quoting Hitler and his jackboots approvingly.
A Republican congressman appalled Democrats at a congressional hearing by quoting infamous Nazi Joseph Goebbels.
“A direct quote from Joseph Goebbels: ‘It is the absolute right of the state to supervise the formation of public opinion,’ and I think that may be what we’re discussing here,” said Texas’ Keith Self.
Republicans have long specialized in “the formation of public opinion.” With their special relationships with FOX “news,” Newsmax, Brietbart and other propaganda machines, they have managed to create the largest nihilist death cult in modern history — comprising almost half of America, people who cheer and mock the misery of others, who delight in lawlessness and celebrate senseless cruelty — especially if it’s aimed at immigrants, the disabled, vulnerable, or anyone non-white.
A Maryland mother recently received two calls: One was from her husband, who said he had been pulled over after finishing his construction shift. The other was from Homeland Security, telling her she had just 10 minutes to pick up the couple’s 5-year-old son who was in the car with her husband.
Jennifer Stefania Vasquez Sura raced to her husband’s side to hurriedly place their crying child in a car seat and say goodbye to her husband as he also wept.
Now the shockwaves of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia’s March 12 arrest and subsequent deportation to El Salvador – which the Trump administration says was a mistake – have spread well beyond the family.
District Judge Paula Xinis ruled Friday that Abrego Garcia, a sheet metal worker, should be returned to the United States no later than 11:59 p.m. on Monday. The Trump administration has appealed the ruling, meaning the case will soon be heard by the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, according to a court filing,
But, as The New York Times reported yesterday,
Maryland’s Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen says the government of El Salvador has denied his request to visit Kilmar Ábrego García, his constituent who was wrongly deported to the Central American country last month.
Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador on Wednesday with the intention of meeting Ábrego García at the Terrorism Confinement Center (Cecot), where US authorities have said that the Maryland resident is being held along with others deported at Donald Trump’s orders.
“We have an unjust situation here. The Trump administration is lying about Ábrego García,” said Van Hollen, who said his constituent had been wrongly named as a member of the MS-13 criminal gang. The Trump administration has admitted that an “administrative error” led to the deportation of Ábrego García to his native country, despite an immigration judge granting him protected status in 2019.
On April 16, Van Hollen questioned El Salvador’s Vice President Félix Ulloa about the ongoing detention of Abrego Garcia, despite the lack of legal grounds.
Ulloa responded by stating that the Trump administration is “paying” El Salvador to keep Garcia at CECOT.
WASHINGTON — The U.S. State Department is paying El Salvador $6 million to house hundreds of immigrants deported from the United States in an immense and brutal prison there, Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo, or CECOT.
But a U.S. law bars the department’s financial support of “units of foreign security forces” — which can include military and law enforcement staff in prisons — facing credible allegations of gross human rights violations. That has led those who wrote what’s known as the Leahy Law and enforced it for years to question the legality of the $6 million payment made as President Donald Trump carries out his campaign of mass deportation.
The Trump administration on March 15 sent 261 men to CECOT, after invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to apply to Venezuelan nationals 14 and older who are suspected members of the gang Tren de Aragua.
On March 30, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said an additional 17 nationals from El Salvador were sent to CECOT, again alleging gang ties. On Sunday, Rubio said 10 more men were sent to the prison in El Salvador, and noted how “the alliance between” the U.S. and El Salvador “has become an example for security and prosperity in our hemisphere.”
Where is Elon Musk to decry the “fraud, waste and abuse” of taxpayer money? Wouldn’t it be cheaper for the US to build and run its own torture centers? Trump has been spot-on about following Hitler’s lead in so many ways, you’d think he’d see the economies to be found in building several concentration camps at once.
Oh wait, that’s already in the Republican proposal for the 2025 Pentagon budget.
“Fourteen and older” — the age Trump says applies to people they are sending to CECOT. How many that were already sent are 14? And why stop there? What about those deadly Venezuelan toddlers? As Rubio noted, this is something to be proud of — an example to the world. Look at all the prosperity!
“CECOT is a facility that exposes prisoners to torture, and cruel, degrading, and inhumane treatment and punishment,” Blaha said in an interview. “Under the Leahy Law, this should disqualify CECOT from receiving U.S. assistance.”
Trump has also expressed that he is open to sending U.S. citizens to CECOT.
“I love that,” he said. “I don’t know what the law says on that.”
He loves that! Of course he does. Not content to deprive only legal immigrants of due process and their freedom, the Mad King and his jackboot flunkies are claiming the power to snatch any American, for any or no reason, and pack them off to some foreign hellhole, with no power to appeal, and no recourse.
Thing is, most of the young men packed off to the gulag were “identified” by their tattoos, which the regime claimed tied them to terrorist gangs. So this freak, whose tattoos are linked to some of the most deadly terrorists in history — and objectively, is a far greater danger to America than any mere gang member — should have been the first to be deported.
But of course, he’s got powerful, dangerous friends— at least until he outlives his usefulness as a tool.
But you, you could enjoy all the luxuries of this ‘freedom, security and prosperity’ in a cozy cell with 200 other chained vacationers. The Trump regime doesn’t even need to prove you committed a crime. It’s the government’s word against yours. What do you think your odds are?
Of all the lawless acts by the Trump administration in its first two and a half months, none are more frightening than its dumping of human beings who have not had their day in court into an infamous maximum-security prison in El Salvador — and then contending that no federal court has the authority to right these brazen wrongs.
In an astounding brief filed in the Supreme Court on Monday, the solicitor general of the United States argued that even when the government concedes that it has mistakenly deported someone to El Salvador and had him imprisoned there, the federal courts are powerless to do anything about it.
The Supreme Court must immediately and emphatically reject this unwarranted claim of unlimited power to deprive people of their liberty without due process.
Of course, this isn’t a new idea. Something quite like it happened before, and in fact, is part of the English common law upon which our own legal system was built.
So why hasn’t the Trump administration acted to secure Mr. Abrego Garcia’s release? After all, he is there because of a government screw-up. There can be no doubt about what this means.
There is nothing to stop this criminal syndicate “government” from jailing its critics in another country and then claiming, as it is now, that the courts have no jurisdiction to remedy the situation. Armed with this power, the Trump cult now knows that Immigration and Customs Enforcement or the F.B.I. or any federal law enforcement agency can apprehend anyone, ignore the requirements for due process and ship them off to El Salvador or any country that will take them, in exchange for a little scratch..
These victims of a brazen political agenda are pawns who have no legal recourse whatsoever from any American court. This fascist regime will create its own gulags with no more judicial review than existed when Stalin did the same thing in the Soviet Union— with the help of congressional Republicans who are happily collaborating.
Though there is hope in a few exceptions, like Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski, who said the quiet part out loud this week, reported by the Anchorage Daily News: “We are all afraid. That’s quite a statement,” she added, “but we are in a time and a place where I certainly have not been before, and I'll tell you, I am oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real.”
There is very little in terms of political policy where I can find agreement with her or Liz Cheney, another outspoken Republican critic, but we are on the same side here. They are perhaps not heroes like Judges James Boasberg and Paula Xinis, working to bring back a wrongfully accused man from a gulag—but I will still support anyone who weighs in on the right side of democracy, and hope they they will go further than words. Because we are fighting for the soul of this nation.
As Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson, a bedrock conservative appointed by Ronald Reagan, wrote for the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit this week,
It is difficult in some cases to get to the very heart of the matter. But in this case, it is not hard at all. The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order. Further, it claims in essence that because it has rid itself of custody that there is nothing that can be done.
This should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear.
From the very beginning of our republic, the meaning of the words liberty and tyranny were deeply ingrained. And we used to say in America, about fascism, that “it can’t happen here.” But right in front of our eyes, it already is.
I’m glad you mentioned those terrorist tattoos on Hegseth. Yes the Crusades were pure evil genocidal blood orgies and is so frightening in our current christofascist regime. History, people. Get a fucking education and get the lesson loud and clear.
I’m a great fan of your husband and never miss his own opinion. In spite of the serious issues there’s always something in it that makes me laugh. Thank you for your post. Reading it choked me up. What’s happening is frightening. To you and your husband again THANK YOU from this old Danish woman.
