The Mad King regime loves the smell of death and destruction in the morning

Dispatches from the War Fronts

 

This...is Tehran

By War Correspondent Douglas MacArthur at the Pentagon with Meta-Content Generator A.J. Liebling

After four weeks, the Mad King's decision to distract us from the evidence of his child rapes by launching a pointless war against Iran is going great.

Don't just take our word for it – ask well-lubricated regime shills like “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth:

Brash and bellicose, he sounded more like a cartoon bully than a sombre statesman. “Death and destruction from the sky all day long,” Pete Hegseth, wearing a red, white and and blue tie and pocket square, bragged to reporters at the Pentagon near Washington. “This was never meant to be a fair fight, and it is not a fair fight. We are punching them while they’re down, which is exactly how it should be.” 

His delight in death and injury was on display on other occasions, too:

We're hunting and striking death and destruction from above. Iran's air defenses, flattened. Iran's defense industrial base, the factories, the production lines that feed their missile and drone programs, being overwhelmingly destroyed. 

He really seems to like that death and destruction bit. 

Just one more Jaeger Bomb:

But we are hunting them down methodically, ruthlessly and overwhelmingly, like no other military in the world can do, and the results speak for themselves.

To date, we've struck over 7,000 targets across Iran and its military infrastructure. That is not incremental, that is overwhelming force applied with precision.

By the way, who's them?

Speaking of precision, ol' Death and Destruction didn't have much to say about his Tomahawk missiles that killed over 165 innocent Iranian schoolgirls other than to announce an investigation that will report its findings sometime after the Rapture. 

Even the normally staid New York Times noticed something about the regime's framing of its war as an orgy of destruction:

Mr. Trump’s and Mr. Hegseth’s views are reflected in the name they have given to the Iran mission. In the past, the Pentagon has chosen names that sought to send a message to the American people and the world that the military was fighting for some higher ideal, such as “Operation Enduring Freedom” in Afghanistan or “Operation Unified Protector” in Libya.

For the Iran mission, Mr. Hegseth signed off on “Epic Fury,” a name that connotes retribution and rage. 

Death and destruction from above, 1940

It's no surprise that the Mad King himself boasted that he chose the name himself. His entire life has been devoted to cruelty and sadism, from raping E. Jean Carroll in a department store to watching only the most violent portions of movies with his weirdo son Barron to boasting about beating protesters and anyone who dares to stand in his way.

But Hegseth's ranting revelry about pain and death struck a familiar note to us.  Where had we heard this before?

We asked our old friend and CBS News legend William L. Shirer.  He remembered in his Berlin Diary watching a German newsreel about the Wehrmacht's invasion of France, generally regarded as a success (unlike Pete's war):

The German commentator's enthusiasm for the destruction seemed to grow....He had a cruel, rasping voice and by the end seemed to be talking in a whirl of sadism. 'Look at the destruction,' he cried. 'This is what happens to those who oppose Germany's might!'

And is Europe soon to be ruled and dominated by such a people – by such sadism? 

W. Shirer, Berlin Diary at 384. 

Shirer, one of the creators of CBS Radio News (we'll get to that in a moment), noted that Fascism delights in inflicting cruelty against whatever they perceive to be its enemies.  Shirer associated this sadism and lack of empathy with a defect in the German character.  We know now that he was wrong about that.

Based on what we have learned since 1940, it seems that it's a defect inherent in much of humanity to be exploited by Fascist tyrants, like our Mad King, to satiate the lust of his angry followers for cruelty while distracting them from noticing that he's f****g them over and robbing them blind.

But how can you say we are living in a Fascist dictatorship when we still have a free press?

Speaking of which, pudgy Fascist fellow-traveler and billionaire fluffer Bari Weiss, installed as CBS News supremo despite the lack of any experience in journalism by the failson of a plutocratic billionaire (this is known to Republicans as “meritocracy”), announced Friday that after 100 years she was pulling the plug on CBS Radio News.

Bari doesn't need any more of his crap

This is the outfit that Shirer used to work for, alongside colleagues like Edward R. Murrow, reporting from London during the Blitz.  Men (and in those days that's what they were) like Shirer and Murrow brought home to Americans the horror of Nazism and its unrelenting wars of aggression, helping counteract Schickelgruber's propaganda and his mouthpieces like Charles Lindbergh.

But according to Bari and her paymasters, we don't need journalism like that anymore, because, um, she says so.

After all, who listens to radio except millions of people driving every day and millions more attached to their phones?

To be fair, we had already lost CBS News, along with The Washington Post.  And if Bari's mouth-breathing nepo baby boss succeeds in taking over CNN, they'll be gone too.

But don't worry – we'll be able to get our news direct from the Secretary of Peace, uh, War.  Hope you enjoy tales of death and destruction, because you'll be paying the bills for it for generations.

And that's the way it is.
