Domestic Terrorists...

24: Kiefer Sutherland Hopes for Jack Bauer Closure Someday, TV Series Finale

© August 20, 2021, the Griot Poet

 

“24,”

The heartbeat-themed opening a novelty,

Is where the Cheney/Bush administration,

Got its best ideas from,

From stress positions,

Sensory deprivation,

Electric shock non-therapy,

Waterboarding,

Off-books black sites,

To Guantanamo Bay, and Abu Ghraib,

 

Cheney swore,

On his superheterodyne pacemaker,

Kiefer Sutherland’s Jack Bauer,

It was [TOTALLY] based on him,

 

Because of W’s approval ratings,

Were below 50%,

The Taliban offered Osama Bin Laden,

Immediately after 9/11,

Would justice juice his numbers,

Or, a war of pure convenience?

 

We know the path they took,

“Sexed up” the intelligence,

Lied about weapons of mass destruction,

In Iraq,

That had nothing to do with 9/11,

2004, despite being selected in 2000 by [a] 5-4 Supreme Court vote,

A controversial election decided by his father’s sexual predator pick, Clarence Thomas,

Despite decisively losing all three presidential debates, he “WON” re-election.

 

Trillions of dollars and un-replaceable treasure spent,

Mothers, fathers, sons, daughters in body bags,

In Afghanistan, Iraq, and flag-draped coffins,

So ashamed, we brought them home under cover of darkness,

The only “winners” were weapons and defense contractors,

But as we’ve seen recently,

The facts don’t matter, really,

 

Before the election of 2008,

African American actor,

Dennis Haysbert prepped us,

Playing a US president in “24,”

Then, Barack Hussein Obama showed up,

 

Suddenly, the opening, heartbeat-themed novelty,

Became national,

Myocardial infarction,

Manifested in the flesh,

He was now beyond Nielsen ratings,

The embodiment of a changing electorate,

The crossover changing,

 

From 2050 to 2040,

The dominant population decreases for the first time since 1790,

With a purposely early-ended 2020 Census,

How much would it have been if we had fully counted?

Evangelicals became a numerical minority,

In 2017,

You can see why they’re in a wholesale panic!

 

I hate the phrase “majority-minority,”

Because it doesn’t make numerical sense,

How about “new majority,”

And respecting a new electorate?

 

Orly Taitz,

Herself an immigrant,

Proffered the conspiracy,

Without evidence,

That President Obama was born in Kenya,

 

Picked up by the right-wing echo chamber,

Magnified by a carnival barker,

And his Russian GRU masters,

Our nation’s sadism is easy,

For a Master KGB spy to manipulate,

 

Demand for his short-form birth certificate,

Followed by the long-form equivalent,

But this isn’t about facts or reason: it’s pure fear and emotion.

 

Amplified by,

A 30,000-plus count serial liar,

Twenty-seven women accused him of sexual assault and one of rape,

A six-time bankrupt and failed real estate magnate,

644,763 dead Americans,

Reality show court jester,

Up to his eyeballs in debt to Russian oligarchs,

The money he laundered in Florida for a lark,

 

Which is why he never said a single [crass] word,

About, or to Vladimir Putin,

 

The “Manchurian Candidate,”

Asked for help,

On-camera to source 30,000 emails,

Against his opponent,

His “crime-o-MATIC” technique:

Flood-the-zone with criminality,

Keep them dizzy,

Too busy to convict you of one crime

Before charging you for the next,

 

Sabotage Afghanistan,

Release 5,000 Taliban,

Use Mike Pompeo to

Free Mullah Baradar

Who will eventually rule the “graveyard of empires,”

Knowing that he would lose,

Months before the election,

Knowing that Kandahar,

Would fall utterly into chaos,

Purposely,

Keep the new administration TWO MONTHS

In the dark,

From classified briefings,

 

Occam’s razor:

Why wouldn’t such a man,

Orchestrate domestic violence,

Tweet from suspended account:

“Come to the Capitol. It will be WILD!”

To challenge a free and fair election that he LOST?

 

Floyd Ray Roseberry is a domestic terrorist,

From North Carolina,

In I’m afraid, a long list of lone wolves to come,

Just like the crowd, the Grand Pooh-Bah of bullshit,

Summoned on January Sixth,

Don’t sanitize this idiot,

With the “mental health” shtick,

The dude was on Facebook live for five hours,

Before Zuckerberg took the video down,

Dominating news coverage like his orange-god-emperor-narcissist,

While I get called out defending myself from a MAGA idiot for bullying!

He misspelled “dinosaur.”

(But I digress)

 

An unpunished insurrection,

Becomes practice for the next,

We’re either “a nation of laws, and not of men,”

Or, an anarchic cluster fuck,

Good luck with libertarian, free-market capitalism,

When we can’t maintain a republic!

Terrorism (noun): the unlawful use of violence and intimidation especially against civilians in the pursuit of political aims. Definition from Oxford Languages

 Floyd Ray Roseberry is a terrorist,

So was Ashley Babbit,

And everyone who tried to overthrow our democracy January Sixth,

The only solution:

Convict and sentence the insurrectionists and their treasonous president!
