Godzilla Defends Its Recent Attacks on Cities

by Cezary Jan Strusiewicz

The radical urbanist media loves to throw around baseless accusations like “rampage.” “Godzilla rampages,” “cities destroyed in rampage,” and “world in the grip of rampagism.” The word has lost all meaning by this point. And it’s not even fair because the lawful, beautiful actions that I undertook around the globe against the likes of Tokyo or New York were anything but a rampage. It was a precise enforcement of the law meant to keep everyone safe.

I have nothing against cities. There are plenty of good, honest cities out there just trying to get on with their lives. I’ve known some really great cities in my time. But when a city shows up without papers, without proper authorization, just popping up out of the blue instead of doing things legally, the right way, I have no choice but to act swiftly and decisively. These are really bad ciudades we’re dealing with here. You see an innocent skyline; I see a potential security threat. Those towers can be signaling enemy kaiju. Those electric lights may be sending signals into space meant for alien invaders. You don’t know. I’m not willing to take that risk.

Critics always focus on the wrong things and don’t give you the full story, like how I “leveled all of Sydney.” Yes, I did. What you won’t hear is how the city was defiantly inviting lethal threats like a moth the size of a jumbo jet and a giant Marxist lobster (you can tell by its red color) by just existing out there in the open. If destroying the city is what it takes to protect my domain from future attacks and the disastrous open-border policy of my weak-on-crime predecessor, then you better believe that that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

Because let’s not forget that, as King of the Monsters, all the oceans are within my jurisdiction, INCLUDING up to fifty miles inland from any shore. I have the right to stomp any downtown into dust, and it’s all legal. It’s not trespassing, it’s not chaos, and it’s definitely not a “rampage.” It’s affirming my sovereignty in the interest of national security to protect law-abiding cities. If you’re here legally, have all the proper paperwork, and have never harbored a three-headed alien dragon, your skyscrapers have nothing to worry about. (snip-a bit MORE)

  1. Love it! I printed it out to share with a like minded friend here in this MAGA infested building. I think he will enjoy reading it as much as I did. So very true at every point. Maybe we need a Godzilla today to take care of the negative forces in our midst.

    1. Hi Angie. I am so glad I saved these to be able to read your comment. I so need to communicate with you. I got your grand letter. I even got a card to send back. Then bad stuff happened in my life like the car engine seized and the van needed 2,000 of repairs. We dealt with that with our dwindling savings. Then both Ron and I got sick. For weeks we both had no energy and couldn’t function. Then I got very depressed and stopped functioning. But the good news is this last week I am coming back. Today is the best day I have had in two months. Soon I will send you the card and write you a letter but I already told you the bare bones going on with me. Again I loved your letter. Hugs

      1. I am so glad to hear from you Scottie. Did I tell you that my daughter took the quilt and gave it to a homeless family with a little boy in your name? She volunteers with the food banks and now with the homelessness in Frankfort, KY, I sometimes wonder how she can get so much accomplished while still mourning the death of one of her sons in August. She wrote a few days ago that she is overcome at times with sadness, but I guess throwing herself into helping others is also helping her to cope. She has a daughter — the twin of the son who died, as well as two other boys but they have all left home and are on their own. I worry about them all, especially her husband who is taking it the hardest. Not easy for me to handle either since I wasn’t able to go to the funeral, but I keep thinking of him as the sweetest little boy ever, always concerned about everyone else.

        I’m so sorry to hear you and Ron were both sick. And oh my gosh, all that money for car repairs! Makes me glad I don’t drive any more except for my power chair. I had to get new batteries for it last year and they were $400, which was a burden, but not like your car repairs, I also understand about the savings, Mine are completely depleted now after 3 years in this place.
        So glad you loved the letter. I will definitely write again when my hands work for me.. I would type it and print it out but have a paper jam in my printer that I can’t get out. I hope I can find the maintenance man who knows about printers at a time when he;s not too busy and maybe he can fix it. If not I’m screwed.
        Really, really glad you are feeling better. Many many hugs so you can share them with Ron.

        1. Hi Angie. I am still so stunned and happy that you took the time and energy to make a quilt for me, and I am so happy with what your daughter did. The idea that a little child is being warmed with one of your blankets who has so little else is so amazing and heartwarming. That in some small way my name was mentioned is grand, but the truth is the wonderful generosity of time, energy, and money to create these blankets that you do is the real story that I want to acknowledge. Angie please again I ask you to write up a post about the butterflies and the blankets along with the other crafts you do for others and let me post it here. Just say in the post you are lower income and running out of funds to keep being so thoughtful and generous giving people something they need to either feel better or make their life better. I am sure some of the people here who are better off than some will donate. I can think of ways to make sure to get the money to you, and I know Ali has some ideas on 8tyhthat as well. You are not alone in the want to make things better for others and what you do is so important. You have my email and we can talk there if it is easier for you.

          I grieve for your daughter and your family for their loss. You have my hopes for healing. It is hard to lose any member of a family but to lose a child to death is a parent’s worst nightmare.

          It is sad that as we age our income becomes less while costs go up. Forcing us to constantly do with less and not have what we need. That is the majority. The minority upper incomes have the reverse. They have what they need and want but have fewer people to be able to have a social circle with because most have less income.

          As for your printer I wish I lived closer. Repairing printers and fixing computers is what I used to do. More than likely it is a scrap or torn paper. See if you can find someone who has a grandson in the early teens. They will have it running in a second. It is almost an instinct with these young people that amazes me. I had to go to school to learn the skills they seem born with. 😀🧡. I will write more to you later. Hope you are staying warm and happy as possible. Hugs

          1. Thank you for the connfidence you have in me. Tell me how to write a post that will be run on your site and I will do it. It is an honor to be asked even if I don’t know how to do it or consider myself all that worthy.

            I do know that there is a scrap of paper jammed in the printer but just can’t seem to get it out. I know there must be a way but maybe I can convince one of my grandsons to check it out. Or, my granddaughters husband who has a degree in something to do with computers, so probably he knows how to fix a printer as well. Or maybe I can get one of the teenage workers here to help with it. I know one of them fairly well, after talking to him several times when he brings my meal tray and stays to ask about what I’m working on at any given time. Yes, I think that will be my best bet.

            I[ve been making doll clothes for some of the poor undressed dolls that are companions for a lot of the ladies in the infirmary here. Makes me want one for myself, and wish I had kept one before giving the last one to a staff member who wanted it for her daughter’s birthday. Oh well, maybe I’ll ask my kids for one for Christmas.

            You are so right about kids and computers. My grandkids learned to use computers in Kindergarten/ They didn[t even have them when I was that age. Of course I did learn to sign my name which is something they don[t teach these days.

            Thinking of you and wishing you and Ron good health. Hugs.

            1. Hi Angie. The easiest way for you to do it is to write me an email that is what you want your post to look like. Write it like you were writing the post. You can include pictures or anything you want. I can take your email and make it a post. I emailed you with information on go fund me and taxes that Ali sent me. You do have friends here. Hugs

              1. Just sent an email back. Some will be useful but a lot will be redundant. I’ll try sending another with some pictures of items I’ve given away and maybe you can decide which of it all would be useful. Thank you and thank Ali for me. Her research helps a lot. Many huge hugs!

                1. Hi Angie. I will take a look at it. But what I want is for you to write it like a letter to the people who come here. Simply but in the letter what you do, why you do it, how it makes you and others feel, and you’re not having the funds to continue. And for the pictures tell me where in the letter you want them and I will add them for you. Do not worry we will work together to make sure it is a grand post about you. I might suggest a little bit about yourself also. You write such grand heartfelt letters I think this will be grand. I will email you back later today hopefully. Hugs

                  1. Hi Scottie. I’m working on the letter and doing a lot of edits, also trying to add photos where they will show some of the things. It might take a couple of days because I now have an infection with fever and not very up to par right now. But I will get it finished very soon, I hope. Waiting for a headache to let up to tolerable size.
                    Hugs
