Why I Keep Writing And Couldn't Care Less About Likes--

This is kind of a tough piece to write, so I'm breaking with convention to make it short, with no fluff, and on a personal level.

For more than three decades I was a leading organizer and fundraiser for an international political organization, which at first I believed was a progressive, pro-development multi-ethnic constituency based movement in the political tradition of Hamilton, Lincoln, FDR, and JFK. 

The details of the who and what are part of my private domain for now, and I'm not mentally ready yet to share it here. Suffice it to say that this organization, which Martha and I devoted most of our adult lives to building, devolved over time into a Right Wing Political Cult, which went so far off the rails that they helped install and enable Donald Trump, and worked hand in glove with Russian Intelligence to do it. Our former organization is in The Steele Report, and was investigated by Robert Mueller. 

Part of my "political unretirement" has been meant to atone in a certain way for my own blindness and failure to see what this was earlier. It is my way of apologizing to my family and friends who I neglected and ignored for all those years while we labored under difficult conditions to build a movement, which I hoped would continue the work of Martin Luther King's Civil Rights Movement, but has now become its opposite. Martha and I raised the money and gave everything to build an organization which is now on the wrong side of the human race. And for that, an apology is not enough. 

I have been in my personal identity an Anti-Fascist since I was a child, and was able to understand what fascism was. And I read about it. And read some more, and never stopped reading about how and why fascism could raise its head again. 

The Election of Donald Trump changed the plan for the rest of my life. I was burned out, sick, drinking too much, exhausted, suffering PTSD from decades of Scientology style psychological abuse and ego stripping, and simply wanted no part of anything political again. The endorsement by Trump of the Nazi/Confederate March in Charlottesville changed everything, and right then I decided I had to get back in. 

The reason I actually love President Biden (not just support him) is that he made the same decision on the same day, for the same reason. He decided to run for President the day after Charlottesville,, despite being an older guy, who was himself tired after 50 years of public service, and certainly didn't need a psychotic Fifth Column of Trumpian dirty tricksters and fascists targeting him and his family, after everything they had been through. 

So, I began doing something which I'm sure that some of you have also done and can relate to.  Which is, to force myself to do something which I knew going into that I totally sucked at. Writing. Writing about what to do, what was going to happen, who the enemy was, what were potential solutions, and the history of political fights that were very much like these, which have been miraculously fought and won. Why writing? Because we were older, with physical problems, and then we had a Pandemic. I had to figure out a way to reach people, and the old style street organizing was for both of us past history. 

One benefit of the decades of organizing and fundraising that I did was that I realized I have a talent of sorts. I can look at a set of breaking strategic and political developments in real time, and locate it in such a way that people can make sense of it, and it is both intelligible and coherent. I can explain why things happen by giving people a gestalt, rather than just telling you what happened. I would have been an excellent Briefing officer in the Military or Intelligence Agencies if fate had led me in that direction. 

But, it's one thing to give a verbal strategic briefing, and another to write it up and be understood. My education and training involved nothing in regard to journalism and writing. I've written 300 articles in the last year and a half, and I've been winging it all this time. 

One of mine and Martha's best friends in a totally loving act of both charity and masochism agreed to edit my forty-five page special report on the Trump/Russia plan to disrupt the 2020 election. I give thanks to whatever appropriate Deity that our friend did not have a complete nervous breakdown as a result. That report had an impact at a high level, the details of which I hope to write about in the future. Thank you again my friend!

We contributed to stopping Trump's Coup, and insuring a transition. It was the highlight of my political life, personally, and I have seen and done a lot with people who have made big history which I haven't yet talked about. 

But as we all know, January 6th happened. Most people after the Inauguration of Biden, took a deep breath, turned off their "political news notifications" on their phones and set their alarm for November 2024. 

I decided again, in the spirit of jumping back into the game, again, that I should keep writing, even though I am the most blocked writer currently living in Oaxaca, or maybe even the Western Hemisphere. It is literally agony for me to push this stuff out. I decided not to be the 2024 Alarm Clock. I'm going to be the Smoke Alarm. I'm the one who is going to make huge noise, wake you at night with regularity, get you out of bed to take a look around and see what is going on. I'm going to be a pain in the ass. 

And I just replaced my Lithium batteries which are good for ten years, and won't be shutting down anytime soon. 

Believe it or not,, I am very optimistic and excited about what changes could occur in the next three to six weeks. Whatever does happen, I'm going to write about it, not to give you "News", but to give you what is needed to comprehend it, intervene, and take ownership for the solutions. In short, with the years I have remaining, I'm not screwing around. I know what I'm doing, and what I'm talking about. Martha and I have been through a lot, and the two of us can help to walk you through what is coming. Trust us. 

That's why I am sounding like a broken record in asking my friends to take 10 minutes, read, and share what I'm throwing out here and on my Blog, "The Rosen Report", because otherwise I'm not just wasting my time, but I'm afraid that a majority of our people will be unprepared for the Constitutional crisis and Nationwide conflict on our immediate horizon. It is one thing to be informed. It's another to know what to do. In order to know what to do, you need to think ahead. That's what I do. 

Many of you have children, grandchildren, family and careers that you are handling. Martha and I have almost none of that. So we are free to take up the bigger picture which will have the biggest impact on yours and your family's future. By all means, make the break, walk out of the comfort zone, embrace the big picture, and search out heavy ideas. Don't send us emojis. Talk with us. We have nothing to lose. 

I'm sorry this wasn't short. I want it to be, but it never happens. Love from both of us.
