🎧 Hans Zimmer – “Time”
They always name the monster something gorgeous.
“The Big Beautiful Bill.”
Rolls off the tongue like a real estate tagline.
But what passed through the House last week wasn’t just economic policy —
it was a spell, a smokescreen, a coronation in plain sight.
I don’t write about politics for sport.
I write about energy. Power. Pattern.
And this one reeked of empire.
This bill didn’t whisper "tax reform."
It shouted:
“Make ready the throne.”
Act I: ✴︎ The Soft Gloves of Brutality ✴︎
Here’s how they ease it in:
Tax cuts for all (for now)
Reduced IRS funding
Overtime bonuses
Tips no longer taxed
And with that, the people clap like seals.
Even some liberals blinked — “Hey, this part sounds good!”
But the old magicians knew how this worked.
You hide the dagger in the bouquet.
What else does this “beautiful” bill do?
It strangles Medicaid
Starves food assistance
Erases climate protection standards
Taxes electric vehicles
Punishes solar upgrades
It makes being poor harder.
Makes being a polluter easier.
And calls it freedom.
But that’s just Act I. The bait. The veneer.
Let’s peel back deeper.
Act II: ✴︎ A King’s Clause ✴︎
Buried in the bureaucratic belly of the bill is a clause that weakens the power of courts to enforce their rulings.
Read that again.
The bill contains legal mechanisms that make it harder to stop a president from disobeying a judge.
In plain English:
Trump (or any future autocrat) could be held in contempt of court —
and it might not matter.
It’s a soft overthrow.
A velvet-threaded noose for the judiciary.
A king’s invisibility cloak stitched into congressional code.
This isn’t a bill. It’s infrastructure for a monarchy.
A silent weapon for a quiet war.
Act III: ✴︎ Fossil Offerings, Sky Choke ✴︎
The bill doesn’t just reduce climate protections.
It builds a funeral pyre.
Slashes EV tax credits
Ends clean energy incentives
Expands fossil fuel subsidies
Punishes transition technology
It’s not just policy — it’s ritual.
An offering to the gods of oil and empire.
Every line inked with the energy of regression.
Every cut a refusal of the future.
You can almost hear the boardrooms praying:
“Let the sky burn. We’ll still have bunkers.”
Act IV: ✴︎ Borderline Blood Magic ✴︎
$70 billion to militarize the border.
More surveillance. More detentions.
More boots, drones, biometric scans.
This isn’t about immigration.
It’s about division. purification. spectacle.
A modern version of bloodletting —
except now it’s digital.
Now it’s algorithmic.
Now it’s “just policy.”
The archetype is eternal:
Draw the line. Guard it with guns.
Name some humans illegal.
Pretend the soul has a passport.
Epilogue: ✴︎ The Beautiful Lie ✴︎
This is what they do best.
They make brutality look like benevolence.
They carve the empire into you in such small increments,
you barely feel the bleed.
But here’s what I need you to remember:
This bill is a ritual disguised as law.
It is Saturn in drag.
It is the Tower card, upside down.
It is empire on autopilot, dressed in freedom’s costume.
They’ve weaponized beauty.
Sanitized subjugation.
Legislated myth.
This is not politics as usual.
This is mythic architecture being reinstalled.
Rome. Atlantis. Germany. Babylon.
Each fell the same way —
Not with a bang,
but with a budget.
🕊 So what now?
You don’t have to be a policy expert.
You just have to feel the pattern.
Trust the nausea in your gut.
The twitch in your third eye.
This isn’t about Trump.
It’s about what built him.
And what he now builds in return.
If you’ve ever said, “This doesn’t feel real anymore” —
You’re not crazy. You’re sensitive.
You’re awake in a sleeping theatre.
So share this. Speak it.
Shake someone else’s spell loose.
Because if we don’t start naming these moves as magic,
we’ll keep losing to magicians.
Let’s keep excavating the rot
‘til the garden’s ready for rebirth.
