I greet the New Year of No Boundaries, wherein Nothing is Forbidden and all our norms have been violated and become powerless to shape us to the uses of authority, and we are free from the tyranny of sanctioned identities and other people's ideas of virtue.
In 2023 we broke the tablets of the Law, transgressed all limits and witnessed terrible destruction and a wonderful rebirth of hope and resistance in our public renunciation of fascism, white supremacy, patriarchy, and state terror.
We have forced the man behind the curtain to show himself and be afraid; we are become a nation of emperors with no clothes and the truthtellers who like the Jester of King Lear expose them by speaking truth as seizures of power.
We are a horde of squealing brutes like Circe's Swine greedy to devour each other's humanity and eyeing our fellows with rapacious fear and hate seeking otherness to subjugate as offerings to our demons of power and pride, wealth and avarice; but we are also a nation of liberators who safeguard our common freedom and equality.
It may be the work of generations to reclaim the dream of America as a guarantor of universal human rights, a principle violated and savaged by Traitor Trump and now abandoned with the people of Palestine by Biden the Baby Killer, a largely fictitious and illusory America once a forge and shield of democracy and a beacon of hope to the world, and we must always be vigilant against fascism and atavisms of instinct and fear as racist and patriarchal barbarism, but the tide of history may still be turned from an Age of Tyrants to one of a United Humankind, and it is our privilege to be its champions and witnesses.
Our Clown of Terror, Traitor Trump, and his regime of madness has inverted our values and defiled our ideals, but has also revealed the flaws of our civilization and of America, exposed the treasonous predators among us, and with the Restoration of America and democracy in the Biden era we have begun to seize our power and reimagine the possibilities of becoming human; but we have far to go in emergence from the legacies of our histories, as we have seen in Biden's betrayal of us and of our historic mission to restore a free society of equals to America after her Fall under the Fourth Reich in the Stolen Election of 2016, by making us all complicit in the war crimes and ethnic cleansing our taxes pay for in Gaza.
This past year we have awakened and broken the spell of our enslavement, a siren call of lies and illusions designed to drive us into abject submission to authority through learned helplessness under systems of armed and militarized police, universal surveillance, and brutal repression of dissent by armies of Occupation and loathsome Cop Cities which seek to industrialize the manufacture of white supremacist state terror, to dehumanize and feed us as raw material into the machine of wealth and power of elites; like Charlie Chaplin caught in the gears of a vast and monstrous device in The Factory we have fought for our humanity and won free.
So also we have Resisted the dehumanization of women in the legislative theft of women's rights of bodily autonomy which criminalizes childbearing under the guise of abortion bans, subjugates both women and their doctors to the whimsy of patriarchal and theocratic state institutions as theft of witness and authority, violates our first right of property in the ownership of our own bodies, and is a primary strategy of the subversion of democracy.
This year they came for our children, through capture of our schools and libraries by Moms For Liberty and other organized theocratic-fascist repression. Our Resistance to this has been often victorious for now and remains ongoing, vigilant, and public, but we must enact protections and guarantees of freedom of information and of inquiry, open debate and testable truths, in our education system itself and the selection and purchasing of textbooks now controlled nationally by the purchasing power and networks of influence among churches of a fractional neo-Confederate minority in Texas whose mission is the subversion of racial equality both as a lived experience and as a principle of American democracy. Herein the ground of struggle is the system by which we create new citizens as co-owners of the state, and nothing can be more important to a society and its future.
In this time of great peril, let us refuse to submit or our solidarity of action be divided by authorized identities of blood, faith, and soil, or our Resistance and leverage disempowered by ideological fracture.
Now we must help others to see the conditions of their enslavement, and together in solidarity work toward the liberation of humankind from systems of unequal power.
Nothing Is Forbidden! Welcome the new age of the unconquered human sublime.

And this gem from Ralph Steadman; "Twisted tendrils of time uncoil into the frenzied embrace of #NewYearsEve! Colours leach, spirits soar, and the drunken dance of seconds echo through the kaleidoscopic chaos. The cacophony of clinking glasses and maniacal laughter seeps through the night, a symphony of madness. Happy New Year, you beautiful lunatics! Cheers to the grotesque beauty of beginnings and the savage symphony of time!"
