My Alexa defaulted to Fox News !*#*

I am offended to hear this when I get a daily Flash Briefing. This means millions of people receive right wing lies that are detrimental to our democracy promoted by Amazon. Many will not know how or bother to change. I have called their support number to complain. 877-375-9365. I encourage you to do the same If you have this problem, changing it is not an easy thing but can be done. To remove Fox and select another news organization.

Stop blaming Manchin and start blaming

the feckless messaging and political malpractice that caused the State of West Virginia to turn its back on the working man's Party. Answering how this could have happened and fixing this is the key to saving Democracy.

The Republican lust for the pain and suffering of Americans is insatiable

They truly are neo-anarchists.

The military has always supported the Republican Party

Surprised that Democrats are perplexed that a Marine Major is arrested in the January 6th coup attempt. I was in basic training in the Fall of 1972. In the middle of training we were given the "morning off from running to and from the range" to have a training in an auditorium. We are all happy to be in air conditioning. On the stage, a Drill Instructor (DI) we had never seen told us that we would be receiving ballots to vote in the election. That we should vote for Nixon because he would increase our pay and supported a strong defense. Several of our DI's also spoke about the evils of Democrats. I was a college grad so I was very offended by this crap. It was interesting to me as a looked around the room that no officers were present. It was obvious that the Army knew this was illegal under the UCMJ and the officers were told to stay away to give deniability in the event this blew up. Please. The military knows exactly what is going on here.

And how many times have you have you not grown close to someone who tried to kill you?

Why is the Republican Party not being designated as a "Domestic Terrorism" organization?

Section 802 of the USA PATRIOT Act (Pub. L. No. 107-52) expanded the definition of terrorism to cover ""domestic,"" as opposed to international, terrorism. A person engages in domestic terrorism if they do an act "dangerous to human life"

550,000 thousand dead and counting.

that is a violation of the criminal laws of a state or the United States, if the act appears to be intended to: (i) intimidate or coerce a civilian population;

Opposition to Black Lives Matter and support of police brutality. Formed in opposition to Civil Rights and Voting Rights Act. and supporters of white nationalists.


(ii) influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion;

Support for January 6th attack on our government

or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping.

Failure to speak out against he kidnapping of Michigan's Governor. Failure to condemn the destruction of out Capitol.

Additionally, the acts have to occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States and if they do not, may be regarded as international terrorism.

When you hear "cancel culture" say. . . .

The "Coup Culture" is just attempting to divert attention from the fact that they tried to overthrow our democracy. Full Stop.

Help me ought here. Is it Repub lee con or Repub lie con. Cons either way.

Why are we so gullible?

Was in the military. In civil affairs. Not a general just a soldier. I was exposed to PSYOPs concepts and methods. They are effective and help win wars. There are recognizable tactics used with PSYOps in winning the hearts and minds of the people. People being defined as the enemy population. That is what civil affairs is all about.

When I see things like cancel culture and Dr. Seuss. I see this is an orchestrated PSYOP tactic to shift attention. The trap here is engagement. Get any kind of engagement whether the engagement is a negative or positive reaction to the propaganda. Whether through social media or network news, there is a limited amount of impressions that people can receive daily. The point is that the messaging diverts the attention of the populous away from what you don't want them focused on i.e. not enough food or water. Eliminate impressions that carry the messaging that you do not want them to hear.

After the attempted and up until now failed Coup d'état, the PSYOPs team of the bad guys went into full PSYOP mode creating the cancel culture and related propaganda. This was orchestrated across many channels including media such as Fox News, Qanon, Republican messaging and bad guy elected officials. These people know what they are doing. Who are they really?

Their KPI for success is how many of the targeted opposition engages on the issue. How many hours of impressions on the bad issue have been reduced by the PSYOP messaging. Engagement means anything. Criticizing it.
Talking about it instead of the diversion issue. With Cancel Culture and Dr. Sues they are really doing well.

They say Democrats are cancel culture.

As hoped for, we engage and say "No we are not" or even worse accept there definition of the issue and debate whether or not they are worse at cancel culture than we are. Win, win for the bad guys.

There is something called counter PSYOPs. Several methods can be employed. One of the most effective is to judo the PSYOPS back to the primary issue. Orchestrate every opportunity to address the bad guy messaging as a counter message. Do not engage. Dismiss. i.e. "Cancel Culture is an attempt by the bad guys to divert attention from the attempted Coup d'etat and destruction of Democracy. This treasonous act. . . . ." Make their PSYOP message itself an issue proving the diversion issue. The point is to use the opposition's messaging to re-focus back to the primary issue.

Democrats do not seem to get this. We engage. I feel we are gullible. They win.

We are now in a state of war.

The attack on the Capital, like the attack on Fort Sumter was an act of war. Lincoln defended Democracy and our Constitution by declaring this as an act of war by sedition within our Democracy. The failure of the Senate to impeach Trump is tantamount to Lincoln failing to defend our Democracy. This then leaves us in an undeclared civil war with those who would seek to destroy our Democracy.
