This is the Chris Abraham Show. Hey, this is season five, episode 51 of The Chris Abraham Show. I think I called the last episode something like episode 40, but it was actually episode 50, so I'm sticking with it. Nobody took my hole. So it's actually going to go to 100 episodes in season five. We'll see what happens.
Maybe 63 episodes, since that's my magic number. Anyway, today's episode, Gonna be a Rainy day, is about
America's current destruction is based on the chemotherapy against American right wing extremists and extremism rather than actually from right wing extremism. Racism, anti-gay, anti trans, anti Asian, anti black, anti L GB, TQIA. Plus that the moment that Trump even got close to winning the election, there was a a, you know, either a informal or a formalized by any means necessary strategy, which. Was salting the earth and we have assaulted earth. I feel like a lot of doctors these days are saying that that there are certain cancers that men have, like prostate cancer, that generally do not kill the patient. They are cancerous, but they tend not to. What is the term?
They tend not to mastic, not masticate. That means to chew. They tend not to infect the rest of the body and kill the patient. And there is a belief that maybe people with prostate cancer do not get extreme treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy and so forth. And that radiation and chemotherapy and so forth is just extraneous and is does more to destroy the immunosystem than it does with regard like this is all changed now that there's much better and targeted antiprostates tumor systems that are based on.
Gene therapy and based on specific DNA based targeting and all that other fun stuff. But let's just I'm going for an analogy here. I just don't want you to. I just want you to know that I realized that the science moved on. But in many cases, how many people, And I'd love to know the number, How many people succumb to chemotherapy rather than their life if they just suffered with? Their cancer in the 1st place.
And what about the quality of life? What about the willingness to live? What about the pursuit of? What about the pursuit of suicide and self? And you know, wanting to end the suffering and the suffering being mostly not from the pain necessarily of the cancer, but from the.
Lack of will to live from, the fatigue and nausea and all the other secondary effects of the cancer treatment. Now that's always the balance in any in any environment but in a in a in a Color revolution world, you do the equivalent of of fire bombing. Maui, in order to lower the cost of living right, you make major cities completely unbearable and disgusting and all the rich people leave and quite possibly wrench will decrease or people will just shut shutter their all their buildings until the prices become more favorable.
And you know, one might say that in terms of salting the earth, it's become kind of a de rigor strategy in every environment, right? You have the salty earth strategy in Ukraine right now. Very literally. The East and the West are salting the earth when it comes to the Donbass region. If you can't.
If we can't have it, nobody can. And I feel like in many ways this is what happened with regards to Trump. I feel like when you go into Trump's actual and legitimately actual plans for his four years now, they're completely different. Now he has a goal of vengeance. A goal of vengeance, right? But it's impossible to make this argument because I think that the same people who salted the earth and completely gutted America, started a identity politics cold civil war, have defamed all white Christians as Christo Bascis have. Try to retype non binary and L GB TQIA as being the standard bearer and men and women as being some sort of of of como dia obsolete binary kind of.
White supremacist, patriarchal definition of othering that one uses to say there's a man and there's a woman and never the twain shall meet. So I mean I started seeing this on the way into Trump. And I mean, it would be really funny if at some point someone's. Whatever someone's messaging or chat app or whatever were to come out with this sort of shadow government day. When I worked back in the 2000s, I worked with Arianna Huffington's group, which was this whole Shadow Convention.
And with Shadow Convention was kind of all about like. Creating a shadow, if you will, government that was contradictory and antithetical to the goals of adventurism and war mongering and conservative politique and Western hegemony and white supremacy as defined by. The George W Bush presidency, right? Like, I could get behind that. I was really anti George Bush.
And it was exclusively because of his his adventurism, you know, because of Afghanistan, which I also thought was an unjust war. You can't attack a country for the behavior of separatist terrorist cells, right? Like the ISIS and Al Qaeda. And Daesh were were not national
or countrybased organizations, right? Like the people who bombed. Sorry, the people who allegedly flew planes into the Pentagon, into the Twin Towers were, you know, not Afghanis. They were not Pakistanis. They were not Iraqis. They were not Iranians.
Or, as everybody says, they were, you know, first of all, whatever. Like, what was the real narrative of that experience? However, based on the narrative, these were all Saudi. These were all Saudi people. The bin Laden family is a cosmopolitan jet set, a rich construction development company infrastructure.
Just like, you know, like. Like any mogul like Trump or whatever, like in many ways, Trump is not the definition what Trump does, as we see from experience what Trump does, the lifer gubbies, as we used to call them. The gubbies would have nothing to do with it. People with dot Gov e-mail addresses would rather. Would rather Lahaina burn completely down.
Would rather the world go to seed than ever let than ever give agency of the office they even when they said that they when all it was like equivalent to when Muslim terrorists. Give up all of their moral and ethical obligations to Islam, such as they're praying and they're not drinking and they're not sexing, and they're being modest and they're following their strictures. When you are amongst the enemy, you need to be able to act in a way that would not draw undue attention to yourself, so. Even people really close to Trump, it turns out, who were simping after him, who were bending the knee, who were kissing his hand, who were saying, you know, the king has clothes when the king had no clothes, right? So, you know, hence everybody, everybody in the entire. Universe that could be attributed to, either one way or the other, neoliberalism and neoconservativism. This concept of of of pro UN, pro NATO, pro adventurism, pro colonialism dressed up as an agency. Neocolonialism is defined.
In fact there should be a synonym which is to say neocolonize equals exportation of democracy.
Cultural hegemony is defined as you need to be free and your freedom needs to be neoliberalism and neoconservatism and you, your democracy, needs to. Be a culture of of atheism, of humanism, and of selective selective equity and selectives. Egalitarianism. Which is to say, if you're out of line if you do not, if you do not fit in, if you do not. If you're not willing to comply.
What you're doing is hateful and dangerous and antidemocratic because democracy is weak and democracy has a glass jaw and democracy is always fragile. And we will go to any will preserve democracy at the end of, at the end of A, at the end of a gun. The barrel of a gun. So if it takes totalitarianism and autocracy, if it takes
temporary Tierney so as to be able to like radical, radical, radical mastectomies of America, radical mastectomies, anything, cut off everything. Cut off the arms, the legs, cut off the breasts. Remove the uterus. Hysterectomy sitting here. As long as the patient survives in our image, it is all worth it.
Quality of life be damned. Yes. You don't have any arms or legs. You don't have the ability to reproduce. You don't have.
Any way to suckle child? The definition of a woman is is up in the air, so let's say all sin, and I'll use a lowercase sin because I'm not talking religion, but everything awful that has happened over the last. 1617 eighteen 1920 to 1.223 You know, seven or eight years. Like let's just say that all those things could have been prevented. If people would have followed chain of command, they would have realized that the President has certain abilities to do things, has certain privileges, has certain.
Controls is the, if you will, is the you know boss of the executive branch. Let's say all those things are true. But if you don't, if you're not willing, if you so, back to by any means necessary, one of the biggest arguments. In The Hague, when the war crimes tribunal was throwing people in jail and they were going pretty far down the chain of command, the rank and file were saying I was just following orders, right? So the whole concept of following orders in.
In support of diabolical Nazi fascism, Second Coming, killing all brown and black and Semitic peoples and sending Muslims and Mexicans and Jews and Hindus and and and and S Asians and Asians and. To a gulag, to to send them asunder and so forth. Right? Like that's a moral thing to do, right? A moral thing to do is I refuse to follow your orders because your orders are in support of a Hitler.
So no matter how much damage to the economy. To inner cities. To sexual politics and racial politics and gender politics and feminism. No matter how much, no matter how much the right has been actually activated, and no matter how much the populace left have been driven into the arms of the populace right, and no matter how incidental. Like, I wouldn't say that seeing Jimmy Dore and Russell Brand and Joe Rogan and Tulsi Gabbard and even Tucker Carlson. And I mean, he's a right wing guy. But like Jimmy Dore is a populist leftist. Russell Brand is a populist leftist. Honestly, I'll tell you.
Tulsi Gabbard is definitely a populist leftist. There are and you know, there's the horseshoe theory, which is both extremes have more in common with each other than they do with the establishment center. So what happens when the observant Muslims, the observant Catholics, who in no way like I just recently spoke to a Muslim friend? I just recently spoke to a Muslim friend and if he said that his he told me that if his son is gay or non binary or trans, he'd kill him. And that in order to prevent that like if anything starts happening to that in a real way to his little family, he's going back to Albania. Like fuck this, right.
So you have you have religious Ados, American descendants of slavery blacks. You have Catholic Central and South Americans. You have immigrant Africans who are either Coptic or Orthodox or Muslim or or. And then you have Eastern European, Eastern Ukraine Orthodox, Russian Orthodox. You have Greek Orthodox.
You have, you have certain you have people from South Asia who are very traditional in terms of gender and so forth. You have, and you have lots of people who have no concept of the rule of law, who have like their first generation right. They have no concept of the rule of the law. They have a concept of might makes, right? They have a concept of, you know, if you take it, you keep it. And I'm really afraid of this activation because even though according to the media, it seems like, you know, if you combine black, brown and Jewish people and add African American people and then add L, GB, TQIA, it feels like it should be 5060 or 70% of the population.
But if you Add all those groups together, it's still, it's barely 20%, right? So there's 80, Let's be generous, 70%. People who are traditional, who believe in God, who might believe in angels, who believe in Mohammed, peace be upon him, who loved Jesus, who loved Krishna or loved Vishnu, who believe that a family is a mother, father, and children who believe in an extended family that includes grandparents, great grandparents, aunties and uncles. There are traditional values moving here. There are Since there is a great favoritism for people to keep their own culture, maintain their own culture, and support their own language in their family, there's very little incentive for anybody to assimilate into Western liberalism, neoliberalism.
There's very little chance that short of second or third generation that these children will become humanists or or or atheists. And honestly, the only real atheists there are are people in the Academy of Education. The only real atheists and humanists are scientists or people who have a undergrad or actually a graduate in a postdoc in a PhD or an MD or even. There are plenty of Jesus loving accountants, plenty of Jesus loving MB A people. There's plenty of Jesus loving engineers and there's plenty of Jesus loving lawyers. But if you get into the world of first principles and evidence and and all that kind of stuff, the world of mysticism in the world of magic and the world of of the paranormal in the world of the supernatural, in the world of the of the holy, go right out the door.
But there's so few people who have graduate degrees in America. I mean compared to the, you know, 380 or 350 or 340 million Americans, there are this is going to be a big it's, it's sort of like if I want to speak your language, it's sort of like carbon, carbon, carbon sequestration, is that the right word, sequestering carbon into the ground, right. And if you tear up the ground, then all the carbon gets released in the air. Like, that's always the fear, and probably a little bit to do with the popularity of the phrase let sleeping giants lay, which is to say that they're they call it the moral majority. They call it the silent majority.
These are people who unless you increase the price of of beer or challenge the right to guns or make gas too expensive, they will not be activated. And to be honest, all three of those things are in the in the air right now, so it'll be really interesting. I just know that whenever I listen to Alex Jones, he's constantly telling his listeners I was tricked on January 6th, I was tricked on January 6th. It was a complete honey pot bait and switch. I was tricked. So don't all y'all take up arms against anybody or anything because that's going to be a trick too. Like and all that fun stuff.
So anyway, I'm just rambling today. It is episode 51. Today's my dad's birthday. I lost him in 1995. He was 58 years old and had a massive coronary and we died in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.
And by saying we died, everybody in my company fell apart. So I had to take care of all the details, but I lost something that day. Man, I never got it back. I you know, it's heartbreaking to lose a parent. It's even heartbreaking to have lost my mom about 11 years ago.
Still heartbroken about that, even though she wasn't necessarily my favorite person, but she was also my favorite person. Does that make any sense?
So happy birthday dad. I love you. August 10th is his birthday. Anyway, talk to you soon. Lots of love. Bye, bye.
