I got to thinking about the most notorious leaders in today’s dictatorships: Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, King and Mohammed bin Salmon of Saudi Arabia, Bashar al-Assad of Syria, Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran, and China’s Xi Jinping. Not one of them are stupid enough to be caught saying I grab women by the p*ssy because I’m a star and they let me do it. Trump’s total lack of class or dignity stands alone, even among despots. Sometimes his immature verbal potty mouth is touted by media as an attribute for his “fans”.
Access Hollywood was arguably the biggest gaff in presidential election history and it bounced off Trump like water off a duck’s back. People began to say in flyover over country they liked this locker room talk stuff – so it was a good thing for Trump. But that’s too easy. There is more to understand. Sloughing it off on Trump’s garish style truly misses the mark.
Americans have endured eight years of Republicans fighting with Democrats during our first not-pure-white president’s terms; then four years of a president who never thought a day in his life about serving anyone but his own self; then covid; then inflation, finally leaving us with high interest rates in a nation with too many debtors. Americans have gripes. Both sides. And to make matters worse, all of these crises are left to be dealt with by a seemingly intentional do-nothing Congress.
This is why the flyover country developed an appetite for a guy like Trump in the first place. It was not about trash talk and Trump’s divisive American vs. American hate speech. Many people were just weary and sick of the people in Washington DC for years of ignoring their needs and taxing them in so many ways, while giving back the bare minimum.
The vampires in DC are skimming our common wealth. It is corruption. That was the first gripe of middle America. It is still a valid gripe. The meme is: all politicians are corrupt so what is the difference? We hear of the Big Lie. Well this is the Big Gripe. It stretches back to the Reagan meme that the government is the enemy. It is why Biden does not get credit for being a better man and president than Trump.
And the corruption exists on both sides. We all know politicians – no need to mention names – whose family members reap benefits from advance knowledge of government dealings. That is corruption, and to make it legal is to day its is okay to be corrupt and that fuels an appetite for a new kind of politician – which Biden is not. Trump, in many ways, just does the quiet part of corruption out loud. In some ways, it’s less sneaky than what Biden does.
We have endured about forty years of government officials governing by the greed is good mantra. MAGA folks were unified in one thing; hating the people in our government, and the way government treats them. They wanted something that felt like change. Trump gave them that hope. But he had four years to drain the swamp, and instead it just got swampier.
Polls tell us the Democrats want change too. I do.I was one of the first to recognize Trump was allied with Russia because I knew him from AC NJ, and there was a Russian mob component active there in that “carney” town in the 80s. He fell in love with Putin during the Miss World pageants in Moscow. Everyone who knew him knew that. Atlantic City is a small town. Everyone knew what Donnie was up to.
2024 presents voters with the starkest contrast between two agendas since the Civil War. Biden is trying to preserve the functioning of the institution of free and fair elections – of people deciding who should make the laws we all must agree to live by. Trump is fighting for his life to stay out of jail, and says he will create an agenda to run America a new way. But most Americans know he is running to keep himself and his family out of jail for life.
I stand with the MAGA people on their complaint that we need a change. Most Americans do. My big gripe against the “establishment” is interest rates. Contrary to the FED, high rates will not curb inflation this time around. This is not the 70s. In the 70s people had almost no credit card debt. Credit cards were relatively new back then. Many owned their homes with VA loans post WW2.
This time, higher rates are raising financial pressure on working people by causing higher prices. The price of money, in a nation that is living week to week, causes the inflation high rates are advertised to curb. High rates favor those that have the money to lend. Landlords must raise rents to pay off their loans; and mortgages and college loan costs take up much more of a family’s income these days. It feels like a plot to destroy the middle class to me. Same thing the new American oligarchs will do if we elect Trump. Soon, banks will be foreclosing on properties due to these high rates.
SO yea, I have my gripes against the way the US government favors corporations over working people. That however does not cloud my assessment of Donald Trump. I know him too well to believe he cares about anyone but himself.
Economic justice should count as much as criminal justice; in fact more so because criminal behavior involves a small percentage of Americans, while economic justice involves us all. So, equal justice under the law is basically a lie. The word tax is a form of the word take. If a billionaire pays a lower tax rate than a working person, how is that equal justice under the law?
It’s not the institutions themselves that Americans disrespect. No one is going around saying free and fair elections is a bad idea. What we are all saying is that the people in government don’t work for us much anymore. And the the voices of the fully honest politicans are drowned out by the chorus of corruption that has existed in DC since anyone living can remember.
We know there is a better way. It starts with ending corruption. It does not start with making a president immune from criminal prosecution. The way out of this mess is to make Americans proud of the people in their government again. That begins with qualifications for holding office being upped and careful vetting of any candidates financial ties and past work ethics and experience. That cannot begin with a more authoritarian government.
We must never forget one of Trump’s first acts as president was to lower corporate taxes, which forces working people to shoulder a larger percentage of the expense to run a government.
Biden can function fine as the gateway to a new America. Unlike Trump, he knows he is mortal and takes pride in trying to turn the wheels of government over to a new generation. Then it will be up to the new generation to fix what is broken for working people in this country.
I do think Biden needs to grow a pair, as they say. Leaving Merrick Garland in as AG is something no real Americans respect. He’s done a lousy job prosecuting government corruption. Trump will not be tried for the crimes against this country before Novemeber. The biggest crime in US history was filmed live on January 6th. If the man Biden has in the position to see justice done for that crime cannot bring about a trial in three years, he needed to be fired. I ask all people who love this country to find a way to complian loudly about Merricak Garland staying on as our AG.
Trump knew how to fire people at least. Yes, for the wrong reasons, but he knew how to do it. Biden seems not to be able to fire anybody for the right reasons. All we can do now is hope the sheer unchristian ugliness of the Trump, his alies – domestic and foreign, and the spewing of their hateful, vengeful, divisive words will get Americans to wake up when it counts the most, in November.
This simple plan, put into action, can save the United States from what is now projected as a high risk of falling prey to fascism in 2024.
So here we are, fellow Americans. We are in a domestic war, but there are no bombs. It’s a cyber war. Putin’s genius really. He knew he could never beat the USA with bombs. The weapons of his cyber war arewords. Remember “sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never harm me”? Well, that’s not true anymore.
Words are what laws are created from. In any societal structure, breaking laws is punishable by force. Historically, fascists have changed the laws of their country to suit their own personal schemes and purposes, often on their first day in office. Fascists are basically zealous financial criminals who will stop at nothing to secure and hold the reins of a government, with all its enforcement tentacles.
Therefore, in a nation of laws, it is imperative that both its citizens and leaders citizens are both knowledgeable and respectful of US history and its Constitution. That is not true in an autocracy. The news in recent years should have taught all Americans that the potential for elected officials to act in corrupt and/or self-interest, rather than the public’s interest, is a very real thing. Common sense and the rule of law demand that all sworn-in officers of the USA must be held accountable for violations of their vows to protect and defend our constitution in a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
2024 should be a year to do more of the “by the people” so 2025 can be more “for the people”.
Beating the “Fake News” Meme
The Republicans have strategically poisoned the well of truth dispensed by media so whatever their base might hear on truthful media is instantly branded as fake news. This GOP strategy, like it or not, is functionally brilliant. It works like a chess move made early in a game that pays benefits late in the game.
It is said that Kellyanne Conway blurted fake news out during an interview and it stuck. However the fake news strategy is not new. Historically, fascists have always relied on fake news, propaganda and misinformation to keep their subjects out of touch, off balance, too stressed to do anything about their plight, willing to believe lies, and in line.
Our Potential Allies in this War
The people we need to reach in this war of words are Republican centrists, independents, and Democratic voters who may have lost their enthusiasm for Joe Biden. There is a way to reach them all at the same time by enrolling women and men in swing and red states who are currently advocating for their rights, – be it women’s rights or other causes – to simultaneously champion for democracy over autocracy or fascism.
The main focus of “Women United” is to find ways re-orient Republican voters who are prone to believe the lies of their party leaders and engage the democrats who have tuned out of politics.
Since the GOP alliance can always brand truth as “fake news”, the re-orientation program must come from the mouths of their own people. And yes, we’ll have to show the MAGA and centrist GOP voters that we are not vermin. We’ll have to be likeable to them. Is that so hard? I don’t think so. It certainly beats what the WW2 generation had to do to save this democracy.
Women* United to Save American Democracy – *Men Welcome is designed as a cannot lose project. It should function as a Green Bay sweep in its own right. Our enemies can see it coming, but they can do nothing to stop it. This plan also incorporates strategies that, if done now, will pay off later in this election game. NOVEMBER is not that much later now, is it?
Supporting Logic: All Politics is Local
Every functional family has a woman, or several women as loved influencers. Women United seeks to empower and educate women (and men) in key cities within swing states to teach a crash course on American civics and history. The people in these offices will be encourages to create simple educational tools, materials and displays that resemble a museum display on American history. We recommend the tools be created on about an 8th grade level. One stock field office construction kit needs to be created as guidance for the enrolled groups. I have tried to jump start this effort in this post, outlining a historical synopsis of the miracle of American democracy.
Why Women United?
Women United starts with women because they have a natural bond this election season due to the GOP removing women’s rights constitutionally guaranteed for fifty years by the Roe v Wade SCOTUS decision. But we are open to dedicated men as well, of course. *Men Welcome is a super important part of the brand. We want to unite all Americans, men and women, of course. Women United is not racist or sexist. It is a place for real patriotism to awaken from its long slumber here in America.
There are women’s groups in most cities of a decent size. College towns are also ideal. We have reached out to a few of these groups and gotten positive feedback. We’d like to see if we can get a commitment from a few groups in each of the swing states.
We are pro-democracy. If they agree, we email them an online tutorial, and basic agenda instructions and ideas. Individual chapters can educte their own communities and ask for help form the our core administration. A banner logo can be provided and some bumper stickers we are creating now.
Their local agendas can include conducting mock democracy voting on issues ( not candidates) both nationally and locally important during the 2024 voting cycle. Women United will also seek to discover the issues voters in their particular communities want and/or need most from their government.
There are 438 womens’s groups that just marched, January of 2024. They need to be contacted and asked to see if they would be okay for advocating for small d democracy this year. Focus should be on swing states first, then red states, then purple cities in blue states.
Why the Reorientation Must Come from Local Influencers
The line between truth lies has been blurred for media. The fake news meme may have started with Russian propaganda during the 2016 election, but is still with us … and growing. AI is not making this any easier. However, it will be harder for husbands, sons, boyfriends, associates, and friends to categorize words as “fake news” when those words are coming from people they know and respect in their own towns. MAGA people are by nature followers – sycophants. They were easily influenced by right-wing media and Trump’s lies. That means they are more malleable than Democrats. We can take advantage of that.
Trump was caught on a hot mic saying “they only know what we tell them”. Finding a way to tell Republican voters something else to know or believe in may be more effective on Republican voters than Democrats and Independents.
Qualifications For Holding Office Must Be Part of the Education
A majority of GOP voters still believe Trump won the 2020 election. For that reason, Women United cannot be a Democratic or Republican endeavor. WomenUnited, Men Welcome* is okay advocating for GOP candidates provided only they publicly renounce January 6th and are not okay with letting the foreign or domestic enemies of American democracy influence our sacred elections or disrupt the functioning of our government’s institutions.
A majority of GOP voters still believe Trump won the 2020 election. For that reason, Women United is not a Democrat or Republican endeavor. Women United, Men Welcome* will be okay advocating for GOP candidates provided only that they renounce January 6th and are not okay with letting foreign enemies influence our sacred elections or the functioning of the American democracy. America without a real democracy is just not America.
The enemies of democracy don’t expect such creativity and energy this election season. But if this project evolves from written words and thoughts into action and it spreads through red states, they are checkmated. The fake news meme that has worked so well for “trumpism” for the last seven years will have met its match via love, education, and reorientation. It’s time teach old-fashioned civics and history to rural America and spread some real truth and light.
Branding the Struggle
*Build That Wall was nothing more than selling or branding. Branding seeks to create a vision fused with a few words that are hard to forget. Branding works like a song – words and music together are easy to remember. Words and tunes alone? They are soon forgotten. Strategic branding is something the enemies of democracy do very well. We can do better at this. Sales has been my life’s work.
Deployment Strategy – Seven Swing States
In the ideal version of democracy, the majority should have their collective will represented in Congress. We do have to contend with the Electoral College which does not function as a true democracy, and creates the space for a few key “swing states” have more power than the rest of the country. Women United can fix inequity, and many other pressing issues, but first we must save the functioning of our democracy. Without a functioning democracy nothing good will get done for any of us.
Seven states that need Women United chapters the most are in purple
Wilkes-Barre 44,000, Altoona 44,000, State College 41,000
My sense is that this list can be refocused and shortened a bit by using a filter based on preaching less to the choir. We’ll need to focus more in cities where the anticipated margin of loss to Trump is currently is between 1% and 10% and where the anticipated margin of victory by Biden is between 1% and 5%. The most important groups to enroll with be the first in each of the swing states.
The Tutorial Installation – rough draft
The walls of Women United field offices all tell the story of democracy. That story starts with the causes of the Revolutionary War, some words on King George, (who has been compared to Donald Trump) and the colonists resistance to King George’s taxes and tyranny.
The Boston Tea Party
The Boston Tea Party was the culmination of a resistance movement throughout British America against the Tea Act, a tax passed by the British Parliament in 1773. Colonists objected to the Tea Act believing it violated their right as Englishmen to “no taxation without representation”, that is, to be taxed only by their own elected representatives and not by a foreign parliament in which they were not represented.
The lesson of the Boston Tea Party will engage middle-of-the-road Republicans as well as Democrats. America was born with proud intentions. Ironically, Americans today still lack a Congress that truly represents their needs and not the needs of big business. The parallel to today’s times is there and worth pointing out. Women’s United seeks to restore pride in American democracy.
The next installation can be about the Constitution as it was formed and the amendments that evolved over time, highlighting the Bill of Rights and specific amendments. The National Constitution Center covers the US Constitution nicely. We can select the amendments to focus on. I think we start with the first amendment, and focus on the 14th after the Civil War. But we leave the constitution all out there for the curious. People need education on US history to become free thinkers able to recognize how poor a choice Donald Trump would be for president. Women’s United does not tell people who to vote for or against. We seek to make the right path become self-evident.
Since this is about saving democracy, focusing on amendments that concern voting rights seems proper. Since the Civil War, many constitutional amendments address voting, but there are specific amendments written to prohibit denying the vote to some people once the vote is extended to others.
Field Offices Must Remain Bipartisan
It is also important to declare this effort is neither Democratic nor Republican; it must be American. The division between the parties is what keeps the people of America feeling like we are in a cyber war with our brothers and sisters in other states. If we can undo the undercurrent of national division – fear of the other – and restore pride in American democracy there will be no inner space for Trumpism to exist within the hearts of our citizenry. Older people remember fascisim had not quarter in the American soul until the 80s. Is not that feeling of division and fear of others really the cause of our fascist Trumpism problem?
Right now, a large percentage of Republicans are okay with what Trump did on January 6th including hanging Mike Pence for not “doing his job” to end the peaceful transfer of power, according to Trump’s speech that day. The qualification for holding office in the USA 14th Amendment is that no elected official can be in an insurrection or aid or comfort those that are. So Women United is okay with Republicans as long as they renounce January 6th, the Big Lie and Stop the Steal. If that comes off as partisan, so be it.
The belief in many GOP voters that “the left” is their enemy, is what needs to change. But we can’t do it by using distant media. It’s not going to penetrate those who live in information silos. We should know this after eight years of right wing media chanting fake news. We need to re-orient Americans attitude to its government up close and personal, one person at a time, and start a sort of chain reaction – a reverse metastatic cancer -a metatstatic healing!
The idea is to help our Republican friends and neighbors find new candidates in their midst who are conservative but not insurrectionists. There are plenty. They just have no place to convene and air their thoughts because Trump, the salesaman, leaves no oxygen for their transformations. Enroll Republican centrists to convene with Women United. They will become America’s best allies in the effort to save democracy.
“It will always remain one of democracy’s best jokes that it provided its deadly enemies with the means by which it was destroyed.”
Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Propaganda Minister
The First Fascist
We are fighting a fascist organization but most people don’t know fascism’s history. A brief history of fascism is actually necessary. Mussolini is historically referred to as the first fascist. Mussolini Trailer on this page is worth a watch. Rachel Maddow’s new book, Prequel, relays some interesting American history on our US industrialists aligning with the Europe’s fascist movements. It’s worth making sure people know what Mussolini did to his own people if they protested any part of his agenda. I’d like to have movie night. There are some great WW2 movies worth group watch. The new movie Amsterdam was panned butit depicted the danger we are in today very well.
Long before Putin posed bare-chested in snow, Mussolini created this “look”.
German fascism began with Hitler trying to adapt what Mussolini had created. Hitler was a huge fan of Mussolini, even trying to get an autographed picture.
Civil Rights Era and the 1960s. It wiil be wise to cover the freedoms that were gained during the Civil Rights movement during Johnson’s presidency – and here is very okay to mention Roe v Wade. The right to vote was also very clearly defined and Jim Crow was officially a crminal action after the Civil Rights Act. . The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin, as well as, race in hiring, promoting, and firing.
an example of news on the walls of the installations
The Trump Era
Even though we are non-partisan, we do recognize the criminal and treasonous activity of Donald Trump. Trump is why we need to save democracy. So our stance is not that we don’t want Republicans, we just don’t want Republicans who align with a coup to overturn the will of the majority and install a fascist back into the White House.
Trump is about to make his announcement that Mexicans are bringing rapists
The installation can have snippets from videos of Trump’s campaign speeches: the Mexicans are bring rapists ( ironic advise from a known convicted serial rapist ) and including Russia if you’re listening and other gems from his rallies. There’s no shortage of material:Trump’s inauguration speech, the firing of Comey, Helsinki, two impechments and the obstruction by Bill Barr during his impeachments, the firing of Secretary of Defense, Mark Esper, Helsinki, Trump’s covid vaccine success derailing when he learned covid was killing more people in Blue states. The installation culminates with January 6th, and current campaign snippets about poisoning the blood of our country and Project 2025.
Activity at the Field Offices – The Original Gripe of Conservative America
Being part of a democracy has to evolve to become more than just showing up to vote. Women’s United field offices need to be engaging and/or a bit fun to attend. Field office managers need to report to a central core group. We need to get people to start believing they can affect their governments decisions and laws. Honestly, this is the original gripe of people in flyover country, is it not? They feel abandoned by their government. Spoiler alert, so do many on the left. It does feel like nothing we can do will change how government treats us. Many Americans are resigned to sub-par treatment in many arenas of life, including quality of food and air, housing, education, healthcare, decent pay, cost of living and paying more taxes percentage-wise than billionaire overlords.( I don’t like that billionaires pay less tax percentagewise than I do. )
We have eight months to make a dent. Besides the get out the vote effort which amplifes in the last 60 days, we have six months to discuss and I think mock vote on the issues that concern all Americans. People should walk away from these reorientation courses masked as Women United For Democracy * Men Welcome feeling empowered and enthusaistic about making real changes in the next presidential term. The changes needed most are on what can be called out top ten issues.
Income Inequality and Tax Fairness. The Border. Health Care Affordability. Right to Choose. Gun Violence. Education Affordablity. Climate Science. The Electoral College. Corruption in Government, including legal corruption like corporate lobbying, voter discrimination and Gerrymandering, the Supreme Court. There’s ten right there. This list can be amended of course.
Suppose we invite experts to lecture – perhaps from a single source – like a huge zoom. The Big Zoom seems like an idea. A set time, and we all watch a 20 minute lecture or debate on any of the top subjects. Then we talk about what we heard for an hour. Then we mock vote for the solutions the way we see them on the first Tuesday of every month. Chapters record their voting as indelible records for how each chapter saw best to solve the issues facing America.
Finally, field offices ask their reps in Congress to come to a meeting and ask that they vote in Congress the way the majority in their field office ask them to vote. They present the results of their mock voting; they ask that their representatives re-present their ideas to Congress. That seems to be what represent means, to re-present what has already been presented. So let’s do some solution presenting ourselves Americans, and stop relying of representatives to tell us how to think or vote.
This way the local chapters get a feeling when their representative is in politics just for their own self interests. They can shop for a better candidate for their needs if they sense that. All politics is local underpins this entire strategy.
Maybe there has to be some music, movies and guest speakers at these field office some nights.We may be able to get some really top iconic people, like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce to address the field office members across the nation in one fell swoop.
Sounds like a dream. But this can all happen in 2024 if we just start. We need to literally enlist in this cyber war and be soldiers in this cyber war. And if we make this happen, we will have saved our democracy by ourselves, without politcians, and a great new era of American pride and acheivement will begin.
end post …
PS.
Once one allies with Putin, they must remain loyal for life. If you think otherwise, ask Prigozhin on that. Oh yeah, you can’t.
Joseph Aronesty
PPS. PS. Some new improved version of this autocracy vs democracy map, which has been at my blog since Helsinki, should be part of the “kit”. Many people don’t know what autocracy really means. But a ten-year-old with no prior knoweledge of world geography gets the struggle when they first see a RISK board.
About the author:
Joseph Aronesty is the 75-year-old son of a WW2 vet, an ecom pioneer with passion for songwriting and word history and author of a book on the history of language. “I’ve had a blessed life due to the sacrifices of those WW2 vets and I’ll be damned ( actually, we all will be damned ) if we just give it all away to con artists.”
Mr. Aronesty was classmate to Donnie Trump in 1968 at Wharton , worked in Trump’s business associate orbit from 86-99 in AC NJ. He has wriiten over 1100 pages on Trumpism starting at “Russia, if you’re listening” which he still feels should disqualify a candidate to run for president because it asks an enemy state to take a part in our sacred American elections.
On the two-year anniversary of the attack that changed the world, it is important that media echo this obvious conclusion.
Putin waited for Trump’s January 6th coup attempt to fully fail before attacking Ukraine because, if it had succeeded it would have been much easier to take Ukraine with no USA support from Trump.
Donald Trump has now said he would encourage Putin to do whatever the hell he wants to our NATO allies in Europe. This is coordination with an enemy state during war times. The Espionage Act fully applies. This is not “just politics” or “Trump being Trump”.
Russia is getting supplies from Iran and North Korea. Ukraine is getting supplies from NATO countries and the USA. But now the Republican House is blocking that aid. That is also treasonous during war times.
We are clearly in the midst of a cyber war with Putin since its 2016 Fancy Bear election interference. Trump’s statement has already done serious tactical military damage to the United States. Trump also shared nuclear secrets about U.S. nuclear submarines with an Australian billionaire, Anthony Pratt, a member of Mar-a-Lago. The Espionage Act was created to protect Americans from traitors. It applies during war times, and we are at actually at war now.
Joe Bidencandeclare war on those who would undo our democracy, whether they be overseas, allied with our enemies, or sitting in Congress. This should have been done at Russia, if you’re listening. That was warning one. If Biden’s not up for this war, he needs to step aside, and let someone who in our military take the reigns. Nothing about age. Think Golda Meir. It’s about attitude, brains, and knowing your enemy.
War is not defined in the Constitution. The ways to war have changed over the years but the objectives of war are always the same: to take something from a sovereign state. It used to be that could only be done with force. Today, one can take from a democratically run country bloodlessly, with information wars during election cycles, and getting loyalists into the governments of one’s enemies – cyber war. We have been in a state of cyber war with Putin since Fancy Bear election misinformation attacks of 2016. Cyber is the new way to war and Putin is the world’s first master of Cyber War.
The strange thing is, both the left and right base would respect Biden more if he were tougher on Trump. The MAGA base views the impending Trump vs. Biden election like a WWF wrestling match. Biden is losing only because he lets the chaos continue as if Trump has a right to align with Putin. Does he have that right during war times?. No. That’s treason. So declare war vs. Putin but state we are in a Cyber War, and will retaliate with the enemies of democracy whethere they are overseas or here in our Congress.
Putin is effectively running 5o% of our government now. Putin has compromised Trump and key GOP from the 2016 Convention. His emmisaries certainly have taped recordings of the 2016 GOP Alliance discussions. I don’t see an investigaton into that alliance. Putin is three steps ahead in this war. If you don’t believe me, ask Michael Cohen. He knows too.
Garland needs to be replaced tomorrow. He’s dragged his feet, and that’s also why democracy is on the ropes in the USA. We need someone like Glenn Kirschner – laser focused on seeing justice for Trump’s crimes versus democracy – and others in our Congress who aided or comforted the insurrectionists or align with Russian talking points during war times.
DECLARING CYBER WAR VERSUS PUTIN WOULD ALSO MEANS MEDIA CANNOT ALIGN WITH PUTIN.
Fancy Bear spiked with AI Technology is being planned right now. Fox News is in on the deal to sell out Americans to Putin. You only have enforcement mehcanisms in a state of war. Get into it now, Joe Biden. Americans and Europeans are counting on you.
Dear NATO friends. Help us get rid of the unhinged deranged person we regretably elected. You have real history in making the same error. You learned the hard way. We came to your rescue 80 years. It’s time to come ours. That good America is is still here. Our system of justice is moving too slow.
There are ways you can help. Please get vocal about it. It will help. Even MAGA people don’t like Putin. That’s not what they were there for at Jan 6th either. They think they are patriots to save America from the left. But the left and right are not that far apart on issues. The big money is afraid the left and the right will figure that out. They don’t want Americans unified on anything.
Americans need to feel like we could lose our European friends. Americans have many more friends in NATO countries that Russia. So in the end, people will vote during hard times for their families. Get tough now. The media is listening now.
Hitler’s Propaganda Minister, Joseph Goebbels, said: “It will always remain one of democracy’s best jokes that it provided its deadly enemies with the means by which it was destroyed.”
Today Donald Trump basically said NATO countries, our allies post 911, should be cannon fodder for Putin’s attacks. That was not just a private person airing his first amendment opinion. This is a traitorous dangerous statement coming from a person with a lot of power. We are at war with Russia. I think we need to treat insurrectionists and those who ally with Russia in government as traitors.
14th Amendment:
“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.“
Biden Must Start Using His War Powers as Commander-in-Chief
Our president has a lot on his hands. The enemies of democracy like it that way. Besides defending democracy, Biden is also trying to defend Ukraine vs Russia and Israel vs Hammas/Iran in physical wars.
But is Biden trying to protect America and Americans from the threats to democracy in Congress? I don’t think so. Most democratic voters don’t think so either. And turth be told, that’s why there are calls for Biden to step aside and leave the job to someone who knows how to deal with a traitorous criminal party.
Biden’s choice for Attorney General turned out to be about as good as Bob Mueller for the Russia probe. Kamala Harris is hurting Biden’s chances of re-election as well. Many Republican voters wouldn’t vote for a black woman if her name was “god”, especially if they deem Biden may not make it through another four years. Frankly, he should place her in the AG position, which was her expertise, and place someone like Gretchen Whitmer as his running mate. Those would be tactical steps and many would feel he knows what’s at stake and is starting to fight back. Glenn Kisrchner has also shown us he would do a better job defending democracy than Merritt Garland.
Nearly eight years ago I told my Represetative Ted Lieu, we had to declare war against enemies of democracy or this would never stop. That is still 100% true. Even if Democrats won three houses of government, the attack versus democracy would not end if we continue to treat enemies of democracy as if they deserve a say in our government. That is the essence of the protections the 14th amendment provides for Americans. But they only work if they are used.
The Russo-Republican Alliance
A Friend to My Enemy is My Enemy.
An alliance exists between the Republican Party and our undeclared enemy in the current proxy war in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin. We all saw the alliance begin at the Republican Convention is 2016. Donald Trump was just a candidate then. The Republicans reduced sanctions on Putin. For that, Putin launched the Fancy Bear cyber war, convinced disillusioned Americans Hillary was a criminal, and got Trump, an actual sociopathic lifelong criminal, elected president of the United States of America.
A private investigation into the 2016 Republican Convention is long overdo. Right now – early 2024 – is the time for that to happen. The Russo-Republican Alliance should be branded as such. My sense is that Putin would have had his emissaries make tapes of discussions with the GOP brass so he could weigh in on the conversations and use the tapes to compromise the congressmen and party leaders engaged in those talks. People ask why the GOP won’t leave Trump. This is one very good reason not to leave. They cannot. They have been compromised.
it is no wonder the Republicans now want to end aid to Ukraine. They are allied with Putin. It is as if Vladimir has a large voice in our Congress now. And that must stop – soon. A friend to our enemy must be declared our enemy, or we are just stupid. The aliance between Donald Trump, the MAGA GOP and Putin have made human existence more dangerous not only for all Americans, but for the entire planet.
If Biden delcares war versus the enemies of democracy, a proper AG have the ability to simply lock the offices of Congresspeople citing public aired quotes and videos of any congresspeople that have given “comfort” to insurrectionists or publicly aligned with Russian taking points. US citizens should not have the choice to vote for traitors aligned with Vladimir Putin. These people have self-disqualifed themselves to be public servants in the USA.
This is not because I or any person says so. This is what is very clearly written into the US charter, its Constitution and the Espionage Act. Failure to enforce our laws is a derelection of the president’s sworn oath and duty. Marjorie Taylor Greene went to the jail and comforted insurrectionists. Donald Trump sang with them. And we all know most of the GOP in Congress have stated that Biden was not duly elected and Trump won, which was the rallying cry of the Jan 6th insurrection attempt.
The 14th Amendment words “No person shall be an office holder” are striking. Yes, it does not say “shall not run for office”. But can you run for an office when you are disqualified to serve? We saw the tea leaves in the SCOTUS words on the Colorado request to get Trump off the ballot. They basically said one can run for an office one cannot hold – and that decision would be made only after that person won. But when that person wins, on day one, he gets pardon powers. You can’t run for president if you are 21 or born in Africa. Comforting insurrectionists disqualifies candidates. There is no need for judicial review. In this case, Dems can be originalists. The words of the Constitution are clear. Dems can enforce the 14th and stop this circus. But they don’t.
I created these images during the Helsinki summit when Putin reminded Trump that he helped hin win the election of 2016 and therefore would be beholden to Putin for life. You could see that when Trump cowered as he walked on stage, something he had never done before or since.
Project 2025
If the Biden Administration is afraid to use the 14th now and declare war vs the enemies of democracy, foreign and democracy, you can see how the words of Goebbels and Vladimir Putin, who has been coaching our sold out dunce, Donald Trump, on how to take over a large country since 2016, ring deadly against the survival of the United States democracy.
Enforce the 14th Amendment now. Use it, or lose it – all.
