Genocide, Peace and Real Estate

Inversion seemed like a fitting description of our upside-down society, but maybe ‘perversion’ is a better word, especially since we have come to understand that many of our ‘elected representatives’ are literal perverts.
‘Orwellian’ does not begin to describe Donald Trump’s newfangled Board of Peace, ostensibly created to administer the rebuilding of genocide-ravaged Gaza. The board is to include Benjamin Mileikowsky (he goes by ‘Netanyahu’, which in the classic tradition of inversion stands for ‘God-given’) and Tony Blair: two people who embody the antithesis of peace.
Imagine being raped brutally and repeatedly by a man regarded as a pillar of the community who also killed most of your family members and then offered you a housekeeping job in the luxurious estate that he built on your stolen family land. This is how I assume Palestinians must feel about the plans of the unabashedly zionist ‘American’ administration that inexplicably felt entitled to take control over Gaza.
I was ashamed to find out that my native country of Bulgaria also joined the Board yesterday after our outgoing prime-minister (who is mysteriously still making crucial decisions for the country despite having resigned over a month ago) signed onto it in Davos – a treasonous act for which he earned literal pats on the back from Trump. As one luxury-hotel owner to another, as it were: our outgoing prime-minister has been embroiled in a corruption scandal involving his wife’s stake in a luxury hotel in Sofia of such magnitude that in other countries may have resulted in his prosecution and resignation under a cloud of shame. Since Bulgaria is ruled by gangsters, no such consequences have occurred.
Only a particularly vile sort of psychopath would vacation in a ‘resort’ built over piles of dead bodies. Unfortunately, we seem to have an abundance of these at the top levels of government, banking, industry, media, academia and the law on an international level. I am not saying that all of them are zionists but, in the words of Larry David, ‘there are many.’
Trump’s Board of Peace has pulled humanity a few levels down the scale of moral degradation. Is the descent irreversible? I know that there are many decent people in the world. Billions, probably. We have an obligation to speak up against our evil overlords if we are to preserve our moral fabric and divine spark for future generations.
