I publish my work in print form every month in a collection called JOHNSTONE magazine. The new edition is now available to order in print or download as a pay-what-you-want e-book version.
As the mass slaughter rages on in Gaza and tensions ramp up exponentially in Ukraine, the US held its quadrennial kayfabe wrestlemania spectacular that vaunts itself as a democratic presidential election. This edition chronicles Trump’s win as he yet again becomes the befittingly ugly face of the increasingly ugly empire, with the cover featuring a painting of the old boy himself.
The only thing I like about Trump is exactly what so many empire managers hate about him: he gives the game away. He says the quiet parts out loud. He’s the only president who’ll openly boast that US troops are in Syria to keep the oil or lament that they failed to take the oil from Venezuela, or just come right out and tell everyone he’s bought and owned by Zionist oligarchs.
Trump is the opposite of Obama, who was very skillful at putting a pretty face on the evil empire. Trump puts a very ugly face on a very ugly thing. He is a much more honest face to have on the empire. A crude, stupid plutocrat who is owned by other plutocrats is the perfect representative of that tyrannical power structure.
