Will President Biden Have To Invoke The 1807 Insurrection Act And Deploy The Army To Defend The Election Result?

My Brief Comment On Professor Heather Cox Richardson's's Morning Letter--

Subject: The Trump MAGA machine has total control of the GOP, and intends to disregard the vote when they lose. What this really means, in plain language.--

It should be clear based on these reports that the Trump/MAGA associated terrorist entities such as the militias, neo-nazis and QAnon are a serious threat to launch nationwide physical attacks on state capitols and election related agencies, as they did on January 6th to overturn elections they will lose. Pennsylvania and Arizona in particular, because their candidates are backed by heavily armed violent extremists and Nazis. Nazis don't believe in obtaining justice in the courts through due process. 

President Biden is, in my view, likely going to have to invoke the 1807 Act and use the military to defend the election results. They have to be doing contingency planning for this, and I don't see the point of not discussing it. All of the MAGA social media and whatnot such as Gab, Telegram, amd 4chan, etc are buzzing with these plans. 

And as has been documented, many of the so-called Domestic Violent Extremist groups (DVEs) are not so "domestic," meaning that they are influenced directly and indirectly by Russian intelligence. So, in effect, the Biden administration will find itself fighting a two front war in our conflict with Russia and its puppets soon after the election.

There has to be a certain point where specific candidates (and yes, media figures) who call for disregarding election results are declared to be national security threats and treated as such, instead of using the media watered down euphemism "election deniers." They are soon to be insurgents, not deniers. They have been arming and training while we are cheerleading for the J6 Committee on TV, hoping prosecutors are going to save democracy for us. We all know this but mostly are too timid in our refusal to discuss it. 

The President has huge decisions to make going forward. He can only do what is needed if we, his supporters are living in reality and using plain language to describe that reality.

Yes, vote with our hearts and minds in large numbers. But don't assume that election victories will stand without our continued engagement afterwards. That should be our main takeaway from the events of January 6th, if nothing else is.

Today in History, July 17, 1918- Czar of Russia and Family Executed

Today in History, July 17, 1918, Execution of the Romanovs, the Czar and Czaritsa of Russia and their Children by the Soviet Government. By July 1918, Russia was engulfed in a hellish civil war which would cost millions of lives and damage a country already reeling from the devastation of World War I. Swept away in this hellfire was the old Tsarist monarchy, last headed by Nicholas II. Nicholas had abdicated in 1917 as the Russian Revolution swept through the nation. Since then he had been a prisoner of successive governments, first the Provisional Government and then the administration run by Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks. The Romanovs were shipped from place to place, eventually coming to Yekaterinburg in April, in the Urals, an area known for its hard Communist sympathies. As the White Russian forces grew closer, Lenin and his associates ordere...

Milton Friedman- The Man Who Revived Fascist Economics, and Called It "Freedom".

Image
  You may have heard the name before, as he was featured in a PBS Series, titled "Free To Choose", also the title of his most famous and misnamed book. He was a prolific author, and widely publicized by Conservative News Media and Magazines, especially by the followers of William F. Buckley. In fact, Milton Friedman is the current top economic advisor to the so-called "movement conservatives", from Nixon to Reagan, to Newt Gingrich and Trumpworld,  and is still to this day the main architect of the GOP approach to dealing with the present economic crisis, though he has been keeping a low profile. A very low profile. In fact, six feet under. He is currently dead, and has been for 14 years, yet his horrific philosophy continues to stalk about, haunting us like the living dead animated by a Voodoo curse, burning live Chickens, chanting incantations, and propitiating the irrational forces of Britain's Adam Smith and his "Invisible Hand". (Which is the hand...

How Do You Know If What You Are Reading Is True Or Useful? - A One Year Old Facebook Post

Image
 How do we know whether what we are reading is true, or for that matter useful? There are many journalists in the US today who are not only excellent writers, but are just good people. They are well informed, have the best intentions and are highly professional.  I have to force myself to write, and it comes with great difficulty because I am blocked, and had little journalistic training. Without an editor I feel lost, and feel as though I want to rewrite everything or throw it out after I read it. Reading books and articles is my favorite hobby, and when I'm doing that I am in my happy place.  As of now I have 30 News and Magazine sites bookmarked and I read them everyday as a routine. I usually read anywhere from 2-10 articles in each, depending upon what newsworthy events are breaking that day. Plus I have a number of books on history that I have going at any one time. This is no big accomplishment or unique, it's just how I occupy my time and is my form of work these ...
