  Why I've Been "Trolling" MAGA On Twitter- --A response to an outraged friend who is incredulous at the sheer lying insanity of our adversary'-- Everything coming out of their mouths, the policies they stand for, the appeals they make to their base, are destructive lying homicidal garbage. Their so-called program is nothing but recycled Nazism, a social/economic program to kill off those they consider "unfit to live" through a form of national triage. They are not "far right" extremists. They are murderers, both of people, and of the truth. Our greatest problem is that most of our Democratic leaders, most of you, just won't say it that way. The leading MAGA spokesmen only have the power that they do because of our years long passivity, our being so damned respectful, polite, tolerant, and pacifistic over years, in refusing to directly confront this. We've deluded ourselves in believing that rational debate and facts would amount to anythin...

Some Thoughts From A Political Veteran On How To Organize And Lead In A Time Of Crisis-- Be Subjective, (Don't Be So Nice)  (Part 4 of a series)  The Weak Flank Of The Enemy-- This will be a bit lengthy, but hopefully helpful. I've recently been doing a lot more on Twitter, both posting my stuff, and as you may have noticed, trolling some of the worst of the MAGA pundits and  propagandists, and there are some things which, in my view, just jump out as evident. First is that the Trump cultists are themselves writing and posting at approximately a fourth grade level of reading comprehension, even those with law degrees and who are CEO types. (That is not meant as an insult to fourth graders or their teachers). They are literally in some cases dumbing themselves down in order to trigger the hot buttons of their targeted audience of worse-than-deplorables. Their posts have the character of bumper sticker slogans designed to provoke road-rage incidents, not serious political i...

Trump's "Smoking Gun"-- Liz Cheney Announces Trove Of 800,000 Secret Service Texts From "On The Ground" on January 6 In Hand! What Are The Strategic Implications?  This is a "hot take" analysis by me, and subject to revision pending new information being made public. Buy for sure its as big a deal as it seems, and possibly the equivalent of the release of the unredacted Nixon White House tapes, which remember spelled his political end. The Twitter report from Frank Figliuzzi linked below on Cheney's announcement is brief, but rife with earth-shattering implications. 1. Obviously, because the communications are those of Trump's protection detail, they will directly involve Trump's actions, movements, orders, statements and communications from throughout that day. Likewise, they will involve those same related communications regarding VP Mike Pence. 2. Equally obvious is that these texts are likely incriminating, which is why they were wiped ...

Tucker Carlson Is A Serious National Security Threat-- Tucker Carlson is inciting bomb threats and violent attacks on medical centers and Healthcare facilities providing services to trans youth, accusing them of sexualizing children and performing horrible medical experiments on them. This accusation comes from the heir to the Swanson Foods Fortune, whose TV dinners were themselves the equivalent of chemical warfare experiments against the American population.  He has interviewed the head of "Libs of TikTok" Chaya Raichik, which is an anti-LGBTQ radical group, already implicated in organizing bomb threats against hospitals. Raichik is an Orthodox Jewish woman from Brooklyn who marched side-by-side with Nazis wearing "Camp Auschwitz " tee-shirts at the Capitol attack on January 6th. She was elevated from troll-nothingness by Fox's "podophile" podcasting pod person, Joe Rogan, and has become influential over millions of psycho-religious conservatives onl...

(RNN) The GOP Is Hard Up For More Than Votes-- (The following breaking story, possibly real, is unverified, unsourced, and thoroughly unbelievable, but in a perfect world should nevertheless be headline material)  September 21, 2022 As a friend pointed out earlier today, we have the seemingly odd and incongruous fact (One of the few in this article) of "Christian" nationalist Marjorie Taylor Greene committing "en flagrante" adultery with her Tantric sex guru from her gym. (wondering what the name of it is...the "Go Flex Yourself Gym--Cross Fit, Not Cross Dress") And speaking of Gyms, there is the sordid case of Congressman Jordan to wrestle with as well.  Then you have Biker Bar chick and Congresswoman Lauren Boebert marrying a flasher/public masturbator, (maybe why she's aiming for the position of "House Whip") and Matt Gaetz, (now sadly an incel because his new wife doesn't accept Venmo, only cash) soon facing indictment. And I'm no...

Tucker Carlson Endorses Nuremberg Crimes, In His Typical Dogwhistle Way-- This is for reference as a followup on the MAGA/QAnon terrorism scenario which we have been sounding the alarm about. Carlson is picking up on Trump going public with QAnon as his personal movement of Brownshirts by encouraging vigilante physical assaults against teachers, doctors, nurses, etal, who are accused of "grooming." This article catalogues the atrocious statements by Carlson encouraging dads to assault those accused of validating or even teaching tolerance of LGBTQ+ lifestyles or medical procedures toward transitioning.  Carlson's broadcast, summarized below by Amanda Marcotte's article in "Salon," echoes almost exactly the anti-semitic propaganda of the convicted Nazi war criminals Alfred Rosenberg and Julius Streicher, who ran the two leading Nazi Party publications, Die Völkische Beobachter and Der Stürmer. They ran daily articles approved by Propaganda Minister Josef Goeb...

Some useful background on my Michael Flynn post.  Retired Lt. General Michael Flynn is not driven to overthrow the Biden Presidency by politics, or personal loyalty to Donald Trump. He is driven by religious fanaticism.  His public involvement in the cult of QAnon is mostly an overlay for a much deeper involvement in a particularly dangerous schismatic element in the Catholic Church.  It is a sect of extreme right-wing fascist "Old Believer", charismatics who are currently in a state of similar insurrection against the Papacy of Francis.  This grouping interfaces with the movement of fellow QAnon adherent, former Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano of the Washington DC area, who is personally steering the actions of the renegade Bishops that are intriguing against President Biden.  This movement of extreme charismstics has as their agenda bringing fascist regimes to power in Europe and the US through destabilizing their governments and backing QAnon linked political p...

Another Biden Watershed Speech-- Don't Miss The Forest For The Trees President Biden is homing in on an important new political initiative, one that I've campaigned for and which is somewhat overdue. He is asking Congress to force transparency and accountability on social media platforms which are enabling white supremacist hate speech and advocating violence.  https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/sep/15/biden-united-we-stand-summit-innitiatives His speech at the "United We Stand" summit, as summarized in "The Guardian" piece linked here is more comprehensive and far from limited to this issue, but his call will resonate. He was not specific in his condemnation, but I and many others have highlighted the role of Telegram, Gab, and more recently Kiwi Farms in inciting hate crimes and political violence, and the degree to which hard core MAGA candidates are using these platforms for this purpose. (Such as in the case of the fascist Incel Elmer Fudd from Pe...

Trump "Comes Out" As Full QAnon-  A Strategic Overview September 14, 2022 Trump "retruthed" this photo on his anti-social media platform yesterday, depicting himself as having gone "full QAnon."  As the expression goes, "let that sink in." He is cornered, and now is no longer even making the pretense of politics.  Two weeks ago I posted a piece on the significance of his call for immediate reinstatement, which the terrified and infantile mainstream media tried to spin into a snarky meme along the lines of "Oh, he's just going nuts." Maybe now that he is openly "coming out" as the rallying point of a movement which our intelligence agencies have deemed a high level terrorist threat, some of those people will get serious.  Trump has been building a private army of Brownshirts, militias and vigilantes since no later than 2017. We now have confirmation from Habermann of the New York Times that he had no intention of leaving th...

The Incalculable Evil Of Theocratic Dictatorships--  One year ago today, New York Times writer David Brooks penned an Op-Ed entitled "When Dictators Find God."  The title was meant ironically of course, since the very notion of a benificent and just Creator in whose image and likeness we are made is entirely antithetical to that of a homicidal and sadistic dictator, who brutalizes his own citizens in the name of that deity. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/09/opinion/autocracy-religion-liberalism.html The article itself is a study of the depths of cynicism to which Vladimir Putin, his co-thinkers and followers have descended. Yet, the Putin example unfortunately typifies the history of those world leaders who abrogate to themselves unchecked power over the State, while wearing a cloak of religious authority under which they rule. The same evil cynicism and hypocrisy of course also applies to the several other dictatorships which abound today, including Hungary, Iran, Afghanist...

Washington Post Gives Op-Ed Column to Right-Wing Bush 43 Speechwriter To Attack Biden As "Hypocrite" This is another case of so-called "mainstream" but ostensibly liberal- leaning media actively enabling MAGA, legitimizing the extremist GOP, and doing it all in the name of being "fair and balanced." Apparently they feel an obligation to present both fact-based reality, and as well lies, fabrication, disinformation, and half-truths, giving "both sides" equal weight.  The Op-Ed in question is from Marc Theissen of the libertarian think tank American Enterprise Institute, which is financed by the usual stable of anti-government fascist Billionaires intending to obliterate government regulation and the social safety net.  Conservative spinmeister Thiessen attacks Biden as a hypocrite over his speech in Philadelphia warning of the danger to democracy represented by the extremist MAGA Republicans. What might be hypocritical about that, you might be ask...
