Operation Piracy or Pedophile Protection, mates?
Raymond Nat Turner, BAR poet-in-residence
21 Jan 2026
🖨️ Print Article
Donald Trump

Pomade man moves. Demented Don moves. Gun moll, puppy-killing
moves. Reich Ministers move and groove ghoulishly to Vanilla Ice —
“Ice, Ice, Baby!” Frack to “Drill, Baby, Drill!” Mar-a-Lago Mash to
“Quiet, Piggy, Quiet.” Wayback Machine, drilling and killing our world.

Cruel Reich Cult Freddo-shames Dem accomplices as “weak and stupid.” 
Bellicose Boss Tweet toasts piratical raid executed hours earlier. Boasts
gunboat diplomacy. Boasts “hottest country in the world!” Toasts branding Venezuela
“Great Again.” Boasts and toasts — fascism at home — and ceaseless wars overseas.

Wayback Machine to Golden Age of grappling hooks, cutlasses, cannons. To feared flotillas
bobbing along sleepy coastlines. To 17th century syphilis sufferers administered mercury. To buccaneering Boss Tweet, swashbuckling Slick Willy and mangy mates looting innocent teen treasure for privilege and pleasure. Plundering booty, Lolita Express. Fearing plank walks due.

Scorched earth. Bloodbaths. Chains, whips, plunder. Manifest Destiny. 
Monroe Doctrine. MAGAt madness. Skull and crossbones no more— 
stars and stripes flap furiously in stiff winds. Pyrite republic ruling Western Hemisphere.
Capitalist Hill, War House,White Supreme Court — capitalist state — Wayback Machine’s wagons wait circled. Onward to Greenland, Panama, Mexico! Onward to Canada 51st state!
New age of multipolar piracy, or just the same old rum of war on the world’s workers rebottled?
