Ukraine and Gaza Wars Are Bottomless Cesspools of MAGAs and Maggots. “If the Honest Truth Were Known”
–>
Introduction
It’s a Universal Metaphor for Death, Dying and Rebirth of Life?
The famous environmental scientist David Suzuki once made the observation that “Humans are just “maggots” who forever defecate all over the environment”; while the American actress singer Christy Carlson Romano once bluntly noted about much of the human behaviour she’d witnessed led her to conclude, “once a maggot, always a maggot”. Whereas, English novelist and poet Mary Ann Evans, known by her pen name George Eliot, once observed, “A Maggot must be born by the rotten cheese to like it.”
Since time immemorial, humans have been asking the same big questions, ‘What is the real value of human life on Planet Earth, given that so much of human imperialist behaviour reveals the basic fascist, anti-life dynamics of homo sapiens negative impact upon all human and biological life on the earth.
The image of humans, made not in the image and likeness of God but as veritable warring maggots, at first glance seems to be a contradiction of terms; one of those curious contradictory metaphors for human life, itself.
Yet, since ancient times, in all of humanity’s holy books, the maggot has been used as a metaphor for the lowly, corruptible, warring nature of humans. Numerous biblical passages question the significance of human life within the vastness of creation. This rhetorical question thus underscores the humility that all human beings, ultimately, must have when standing in judgment before whomever or whatever they consider to be their supreme ‘God’.
Yet the maggot, since biblical times, steadfastly remains as a metaphor for all that is lowly and corruptible in the nature of humans associated with death, decay and the transient, impure state of human life and all of life itself. This sentiment echoes down through time in all the world’s holy books, such as Isaiah 41:14 when God addresses Israel as a “worm”, highlighting the need for constant divine intervention and redemption.
Biblical comparisons of a man to a maggot still serve as stark reminders of humanity’s propensity to constantly succumb to the frailties of its species lower nature and, thus, the need for humans to recognize their limitations and forever call upon, with grace and humility, whatever higher being they look to for guidance in the loftier things in life.
However. The on-going opposite vicious behaviour of humans in the rough and tumble ways of the world, in, places like Gaza and Ukraine, still comparable to that of lowly maggots, continues to highlight the constant contradictions between the holiness of higher beings in the universe and the sinfulness of humanity’s constant lower nature.
Nowhere in the World Are MAGAs and Maggots Not Prepared to Go
But what now are America’s Fascist maggoty MAGA’S (Make America Great Again), under their newly-crowned Commander-in-Chief MAGA Donald Trump, and their NATO counterpart MAGGOT’S (Make All Greedy Government’s On Earth Greater Still), really all about?
What imperialist things do they all want to see become everywhere manifest, not only in America, Ukraine, Russia, Gaza and Israel, but throughout the body-politic of Europe? What do they all dream of one day becoming? Once recycled from whatever is their current corrupt form, whether it be democratic, communistic or fascist in nature, what do they and their leaders all hope they will again reappear as, next time around, in life, once the conqueror’s corporate glove of war is replaced by its military glove of war?
Some new ruthless version of yet another: Julius Caesar and Roman Empire? An Alexander The Great and Greek Empire? Some Napoleon Bonaparte and French Empire? An Adolph Hitler and German Empire, or another Stalin and Russian Empire?
Or, perhaps, now, a Donald Trump and an American Empire? Are all these empires examples of what it means to be the pinnacles of what is touted to be the ultimate in Higher Human Life, or, conversely, its basest points of life? Is this what all the MAGA and MAGGOT code talk now is meant to convey by their constant clarion call for a gathering of the willing in the wars in Ukraine and Gaza?
But when all the current MAGA’s and MAGGOTS in the human world eventually die, as all living things on earth must, what will yet new hordes of imperialist MAGA’S and MAGGOTS, of still other utterly different varieties and kind, who will next appear upon the scene, do, as their lowly counterpart worms in Nature, collectively, also are perpetually driven to do, whenever they smell the same unmistakable corrupt stench of all that is decaying and dying around them in whatever the human body or body politic? Will they, too, then once again compulsively, voraciously, consume whatever sick, dying or dead substance it is, be it some ailing democratic entity in the human or natural world, until nothing is left of that entity save for re-cycling it until whatever remaining substance is left to once again transform itself into something new or totally different again?
The Always $64,000 Dollar Cosmic Question
What will all the human MAGAS AND MAGGOTS, in whatever particular form they next may take, with their always seemingly-unquenchable, ever-starving appetites for yet whatever of the earth’s natural resources and all that that entails, do with it? Will they turn, as well, on all their competitor predators, or even upon themselves, as so many other imperialists of their kind, historically, always have done and no doubt will forever continue to do? Will the end result be the same dismal fate for whatever last few real democratic forces still remain in the world, until some totally new kind of starving, avaricious fascist MAGA OR MAGGOT species comes along and also is prepared to totally consume and recycle it, until nothing will ever return again as it once was?
But what is it now, thanks to America’s chief MAGA maggot himself, that is emerging from all the imperialist warring disarray that exists within the world, seemingly coming now from under every rock or dark place, that seeks to totally replace all that is? As the genocide continues to wipe out a whole race of Palestinians, Ukrainians and still others, given the enormous demonic fascist appetites of the current MAGA’s and MAGGOT’s, there seems not to be anything more redeeming other than more of the same voracious, hungering, warring nature that always has existed, since the day Adam and Eve first were thrown out on their ears from the Garden of Eden for their arrogant base transgressions against God’s laws. Will everything that already since has been, simply continue as before, ad infinitum, for all of humanity until, one day, it simply will come down to, “OMG! It’s The Big Bang! Lights Out! Sorry, Folks! Because that’s all there is!
Fate of the World Hangs in the Balance with Wars in Gaza and Ukraine
In 2014, fascist MAGA America, and its MAGGOT counterpart European fascist NATO allies, committed their infamous violent Maidan Coup of Ukraine’s legally-elected, Russian-leaning, Yanukovych government, and have continued their coup ever since, in spite of Russia’s Special Military Defensive Action (SMO), to relentlessly-press their war against Western Ukraine’s majority of pro-Russian citizenry, with the collaboration of Eastern European Neo-Nazi fascist forces, led by a rump-imposed Zelenskyy Government.
Ever since, Western propaganda has sought to cover-up the fact that one of the key military and dogged political objectives underlying Russia’s SMO in Ukraine was to stop the predominantly Russian-speaking citizenry, who lived in Western Ukraine, from continuing to be brutally persecuted by the far-right, Neo-Nazis of Eastern Ukraine; who, since WWII, had been rabid followers of Stephan Andriyovch Bandera, a Nazi-follower of Adolph Hitler, who was the leader of the Ukrainian military’s ruthless OUN-B unit, that murdered and transported to Europe’s death camps many enemies of Nazi Germany.
Ever since WWII, many of these same enemies of Ukraine’s Neo-Nazis continued to be persecuted by the OUN-B, who proudly openly wore the OUN-B insignia on their uniforms well into even Russia’s current SMO against their forces in Ukraine.
In fact, one of the key objectives of Russia’s SMO, that the Western press ever since has ruthlessly and intentionally never called attention to, is the fact that one of the key objectives of the Russian SMO all along has been to, once and for all, permanently, ban everything and anything to do with Bandera and his followers, as well as: the military display of the OUN-B insignia’s and banners, and; whatever holidays, parades, street signs and publications that in any way, seek to honour and commemorate Bandera’s memory.
This fact is incontrovertible, no matter how much the West’s MAGA corporate propaganda press prevaricates, denies, or attempts to claim, “IT WAS THE OTHER BAD GUY WHO DID IT NOT US OR OUR GUYS.”
In the Fascist West, Since WWII, It Has Been “Hate the Ruskies”!
Ever since, seemingly forever, the West’s collective goal consistently has been, and remains, by hook or by crook, the eventual total destruction of Russia as a major threatening imperialistic, hegemonic power to America and its Western allies total domination of the world. It’s the same insane compulsion the Zionists desire in the eradication of their own ‘Palestinian enemies’ in that part of the world. Still nothing more than other twisted biblical admonitions with the MAGGOTS never asking, with humility and grace, for direction from whomever is their God to ask what it is, in truth, is their right to take or not to take.
In 2025, the balance of military, economic and ideological support for such an imbecilic continuation of the war in Ukraine, as with the war in Gaza, the West Bank and whole of occupied Palestine, has now fallen to Europe, and its equally insane-imbecilic fascist NATO governments, to fill the breach.
But they, too, now are preparing to provide their own imperial military, economic and diplomatic support for the Zelenskyy Government to continue onward, under the cover of their fascist Trump-America’s leadership, to continue their combined collective imbecilic ‘War of the Worlds’; on and on and on into 2025 and beyond, perhaps even to 2030 or longer, if need be, until no one, in the end, will be left standing who even remembers what the final World War originally was all about, in the first place.
Consequently NATO’s cast of perpetual, war-minded, imperialist governments are now preparing to enter the fray, full pelt, seeking to fill the breach left by the vacuum of Trump-America’s absence; providing whatever support may now be needed by a demonic Zelenskyy government, however legal or illegal that government may be, or ever was, given the legacy of the actual Nazi heritage of what Ukraine once was in the years that led up to WWII.
Internationally, within the current awkward theatre of warfare between Ukraine and Russia, an extremely volatile and dangerous international crisis only continues to fester and grow increasingly more unstable and unpredictable. Given its present trajectory, this crisis can only, inexorably, lead to any one of a number of fatal flash point moments that, like what happened to spark the outbreak of WWI, then directly led to the outbreak of WWII, now also threatens to become WWIII, and perhaps yet the greatest holocaustic display of humankind’s utter madness.
Which Way Will All the Madness Go
Putin and Russia, according to Bruno Kahl, head of the German Intelligence Services BND, in an interview with the German newspaper, Deutsche Welle, now intend to test the resolve and unity of the West, as stated in Article 5 of NATO’s founding treaty, which declares that an attack on any one ally should be treated as an attack on them all.

But if, as it now seems may be the case, that the United States, for decades yet to come, will continue to reel under the onslaught of its own American version of England’s mad dog King George III; Trump’s haywire administration’s assortment of Neo-con-Zio-con-Christian Evangelical’s, or their antecedents, will only continue America’s radical fascist transformation, and that of the human race’s once heralded democratic international rule of law and order as it slowly devolves into something much darker.
Meanwhile, Trump’s thuggish cast and crew, though they continue to anarchically wax and wane, seem ready to commit America’s military involvement in NATO’s Ukraine war with Russia and, of course, along with almost the rest of the imperialist world’s passive acquiescence in the unending total genocide of Gaza; which remains a complete and utter democratic ruse and insult to the whole of humanity, given that America’s Deep State will forever continue to supply whatever military, economic and diplomatic wherewithal will ever be needed to continue its murderous fascist onslaught until it achieves the total conquest of the entire globe.
Thus, it now is left to a fascist NATO, American Deep State, and their collective, long-standing anti Russian corporate propaganda onslaught, to decide for itself, as well as the world, whether to escalate or diminish its defence of the Zelenskyy Government’s bogus democratic, quasi Neo-Nazi portion of the former Ukraine.
If, or when or how, Russia ultimately decides to test NATO’s collective defence and what desultory course the war in Ukraine next will take, is dependent upon the extent NATO is prepared to provide whatever military support, with boot-in-the-air, boots-on-the ground, and ‘missile-clad-boots’ in outer space, will still be needed to defend Ukraine, short of the full evocation of NATO’s Article 5; or until the slow suicidal death of Ukraine, by a thousand cuts, finally becomes the obvious, unavoidable reality.
But, of course, this means that if or when push-comes-to-shove, and Article 5 is indeed evoked, with Mother Russia’s homelands seriously attacked, then, of course, all bets are off, and it’s ‘Kattie-Bar-The-Door towards the brutal end-game for all concerned.
Western Animosity Towards Russia Reveal Old Propaganda Tapes
Unless wiser heads prevail, which is highly unlikely, given the numbing 24/7 anti-Russian propaganda that for decades within the Western World has virtually pounded into pulp the higher-discerning cognitive abilities of even some of the most astute thinkers among their populaces concerning what the ultimate resolutions might be to all the issues of war and peace between East and West; the eventual horrific outcome, that the world fears most, perhaps coming to pass sooner rather than later.
The long-standing, propaganda-fuelled animosity between America and Western Europe towards Russia is simply the result of an ignorant, ludicrously-premeditated, ideological campaign that can be traced all the way back to distant earlier times long before WWII, when the West’s rampant ideological corporate hatred for Communism mercilessly fuelled its many diatribes against Russia and all its allies.
West’s Collective Memory Suffers From Amnesia
In terms of the more immediate tensions that exist between the West and East, everyone seems to have conveniently-forgotten the existing truth of the matter, which is that WWII only was won, in large part, because it was the Russian people and Russian army, who were willing to die in unbelievably-large numbers, than ever did America and Europe’s troops against Hitler and his Nazi hordes. Without the horrifically-enormous sacrifices Russians once willing made to defeat Nazi fascism, the entire world today, perhaps, would still find itself oppressed under the thumb of the grossest-imaginable New or Old World imperialist European and American governments and societies.
Yet, at this point in time, in 2025, with fascist societies and governments, in fact, everywhere already flourishing or on the rise, in what formerly once were thought to be solid ‘democratic’ governments in nature, it is both eerie and unnerving that the so-called ‘free world’ once more is so readily-prepared to allow the Russian people, Russian society and their allies to be so demeaned and falsely portrayed as they are by the Western World’s fascist billionaire classes and their ideological-driven corporate news media; who once again are digging ever-deeper into all their old propaganda tapes that portray Russia as “the evil empire”.
If the Real Honest Truth Were Known
Yet, so many Western news outlets on the world-wide web, continue to openly and proudly describe themselves as being “the best in trusted news plus coverage”. But, when it comes to international news organs, like MSN, it’s a different story whenever they report the heinous warfare that Trump’s military and its Western allies continue to wage against so many democratic freedom-fighters, like the Palestinians, and other similar democratic resistance forces, such as: Hezbollah and the Lebanese National Resistance, or; Yemen’s Houthi resistance forces heroic efforts, who likewise continue to struggle mightily, almost alone, against all but hopeless odds, on behalf of their defence of so many needy, vulnerable ones who also find themselves in pitched ‘David versus Goliath’ struggles.
It’s also true whenever Russia’s state organs, the Russian press or their pro-democratic, anti-fascist allied forces everywhere in the world, likewise attempt to report ‘the facts’ of whomever are the underdogs on their side of the story, whether it be: Hamas in Gaza; Hezbollah in Lebanon; home-grown opposing forces against the Neo-Nazi movement in Ukraine, or; those opposed to the genocidal Zionists in Israel and in the West Bank.
Instead, whatever attempt at truth-telling to the contrary is ever made to the world’s readership, by whatever contrary sympathetic news source, some warning disclaimer generally will be embedded, within whatever news account is being offered to its readers, as sources like MSN often does with the declaration, “Many pieces of information provided by Russian media or government reports contain elements of propaganda. Such reports are part of the information warfare conducted by the Russian Federation.” Yeah, right! Tell me another story!”
Which, of course, on the bald face of it, should be completely laughable to anyone who has some sense of the real truth if they’ve even remotely attempted to access whatever alternative news sources expose the constant glut of lies, misinformation, deceit by the Western Press and its almost apocalyptic assault against whatever real Democratic movements regularly appear all across the globe.
In truth, the Western World’s own news releases, if they were meant to be totally honest and above-board, would also regularly be preceded by a similar disclaimer to alert their readers something to the effect that,
“Readers should be aware that many pieces of information provided by Western media or its government representatives, clearly, include elements of propaganda, that are regularly part of the on-going information warfare waged by the West’s massive corporate news media empire against all such hostile enemies within the Russian Federation and their allies”
It should also be recalled, as a matter of historical record that, in recent geopolitical history, it consistently has generally been the Russians, not the so-called freedom-loving American and Western governments, who have resolutely sought to support and defend the world’s budding, patriotic, grassroots democratic movements that have ever sought to defend whomever the down-trodden people in their midst victimized by whatever fascist forces in the world.
One of the most glaring examples of this bias is the unconscionable onslaught that Trump-America and its Western allies continue to wage against the Houthi Government while America and the West continue to support those oppressive fascist powers who continue to control the so-called ‘democratic’ reins of power in Western Asia, that is perhaps the most ideologically-contested region in the world.
Therein lies an enormous teaching lesson yet to be summarily, yet sadly, only re-learned the hard way, after the fact, by the citizenry of the United States, and Western World at large. Especially regarding what exactly are the many questionable values and beliefs that have constantly been taught to them by too many of their mothers, fathers and leaders. Lies, so well drilled into them as truths, in fact, that the masses now no longer know how to discern between the two, democratically and humanistically, or respond appropriately and accordingly, whenever so many outrages against humanity constantly continue to be waged; such as the on-going nightmarish genocide occurring in places like: Occupied Gaza; the West Bank; Ukraine, and on and on in so, so many other troubled places on earth.
Once again, it’s the same ol’, same ol’ onerous, ongoing onslaught that has been unceasingly-waged against the masses in the West throughout the centuries, and now, one again, into the 21st century, the sorry maggoty saga of human life on the earth simply continues, unabated, as it always has.
Epilogue
An individual’s life, like the life of an entire Nation, or life of the world itself, as can be witnessed daily everywhere on the World-wide web, is a fragile, perpetually fleeting substance, forever in-flux. The human MAGA’S and MAGGOTS everywhere are incapable of doing anything more than continue, as they only know how to do, by continuing to voraciously consume everything around them, turning it all into something different again than it ever was; given whatever their particular whim. Whether or not they finally will ever turn, with humility and grace, to whomever their Gods are, for guidance and direction, still remains unclear and suspect.
From time to time, this writer, for solace, has found it personally rewarding and instructive, for the sake of his own balance and sanity, to reflect upon the finite nature of all that is in this delusional reality of the world as it is. So the occasion often is taken to retrospectively look back at the course his own literary life, especially as a self-described geopolitical analyst forever attempting to figure out and address the world’s whole mad ball of wax as it is.
The reader, for their own interest, is likewise invited to scan the web for: “Jerome Irwin, writer” or that of his spiritual nom-de-plume: “Twin Rainbow”, to see if these particular sources ‘of truth’ for him provide any relevance or bearing to whatever the reality may be for the reader’s own life.
Poets, Writers and Visionaries Always Get the Last Word
Historically, the dynamics of the world’s always-troubled business forever remains as it always was. From time to time- the corporate big-wigs, fascists, communists, Nazis and Republicans – all come together. But, invariably, at some point, they end up, once again, inveterate enemies.
The cyclical world history of peace and war is always driven by the same dynamics by the same players as they habitually fall in and out with one another. Once friends and allies, they become mortal enemies and vice-versa. Only the names and faces ever change. Otherwise the ancient ways of Nature’s maggots, and those to be found within Mankind’s always devious, malevolent nature simply take over and remain the only ever-constant.
Authoress Isak Denison once nicely put it when she commented, “As in the natural world, in the human world. There exists no evil, only an abundance of horrors: the constant blights of the ants and the maggots.” Or as writer and poet supreme William Shakespeare, himself, once put it differently, “A Man may fish with the maggot, that eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of the maggot.” Put still another way, Shakespeare once further noted, “Your worm is your only emperor for diet; we fat all creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for maggots themselves.”
On a more political note, Shakespeare’s musings could also, perhaps, be ascribed to the current reign of King Trump and his Court of Maggots in America and the world, who, as if they now more and more assume themselves to be the dictators and oligarchic rulers of it all, continue to consume whatever last vestiges exist of the trappings of America and the World’s former democracies.
In this vein, the novelist and author Mark Twain, were he still alive, might find yet another way to describe America’s Project 2025, and the seriously-troubled times in which America, and the world at large, now find themselves living under.
Twain once noted, “Every civilization carries the seed of its own destruction, and the same cycle shows in them all. The Republic is born, flourishes, decays into plutocracy, and is captured by the slave master, who the merchants and millionaires then make into a king. The people invent their oppressor, and the oppressor serves the function for which they were invented.”
