Pres. Trump Assails Congressional Critics

I just wanted to point out the horribly hypocritical double standard that the right-wing authoritarian nationalists have in this country . It's not like the Congress members in question were inciting a mutiny . They , in like manner to the fictional Delegation of 2000 https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Delegation_of_2000 , were merely expressing concern that the U.S. Military could potentially be used to carry out an unconstitutional abuse of political power . And furthermore could you imagine the uproar that would have ensued if then Pres. Biden had cracked down on the Oath Keepers , for seditious activity ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oath_Keepers


I anticipate that the militia movement in America would have wound up showing Biden what an actual rebellion looks like , with armed resistance . That's the thing , in my opinion, as to why it is that Pres. Trump is such a dumb grump . He will act out as if he is a would be despotic tyrant , and then throw a hissy fit when certain troubled people take the perceived threat that he poses seriously to heart . Such as by subsequently engaging in everything from not only assassination , and/or terrorism , but also activism , including direct action / civil resistance . Like , if ever there were a time to invoke our civil rights under both the first and second amendments , it's now or never . If such usurpation continues to be committed by this administration , it will entail the rightful need for a revolution . Preferably if practicable by such non-violent tactics as laid out by the likes of both George Lakey , and Gene Sharp , and if required in self defense against the likes of death squads , then by guerilla warfare .

It should go without saying that such a drastic response should only be as a last resort , if all other lawful , and peaceful means were to be exhausted , and thereby fail to be successful .

But , like the late Patrick Henry , I do believe in the right of revolution . And to quote from him , "If this be treason , then make the most of it ."

But , according to the legal precedent set by Brandenburg v. Ohio , neither my words , or that of the Congressional delegation , counts as being seditious speech . Like , I parse my words very carefully , especially by using my knowledge as a certificated paralegal , so as not to be liable to face arrest .

That's if the powers that be even so much as pretend to be law abiding . At any rate , we the people of the United States need to know where we stand in relation to the political power , as to what liberty we possess versus whatever authority the government holds .

Like , is this a free state , under constitutional law , or a police state , under martial law ? Time will tell all too well .

Code Red In America

 I am afraid that this most recent National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 spells the end of political freedom , and expression of personal opinion , in this country .  Now it's not enough that the secret police state go offer actual terrorists for their violent actions , even merely expressing opinions that the powers that be regard as being extremist , can result in persecution , and prosecution of what constitutes nothing more than a thought crime .  And from the sounds of it , not only shall associations be targeted by this despotic directive , but even persons could potentially be arrested for their attitudes . Not for conspiring to carry out violence , but for nothing more than for their dissident , and especially militancy .  The bitter irony , from what I recall from living in the 90's , during the Clinton administration , is that if the " basket of deplorables " , that make up the "vast right-wing conspiracy" were to have been so blatantly menaced in this manner , the militia movement would then show the feds just what actual terrorism looks like .  However for the most part at least , those of us on the far left have refrained from resorting to armed insurrection .  And I , as has consistently been advocated throughout this blog , believe that aside from within the context of revolutionary defensivism violence shouldn't be engaged in .  We must defend both ourselves and the beloved community from being assailed , and our rights trampled upon by the boots of federal government goons .  However we must never initiate force . Especially as this repressive regime is looking for even the slightest pretext to crack down on the anti-fascist opposition , by holding us all as being guilty by association . But all of us who are able to go underground into hiding , in my opinion , should do so . For it is no longer safe to freely operate in this country , for it is no longer the land of the free .  Not that it ever was always an entirety free country to begin with . Just look at the Alien and Sedition Acts , for a historic example .

FMR. Pres. Trump Was Wounded in an Attempted Assassination

 I just recently heard of this attempt on Fmr. Pres. Trump's life , in Butler , Pennsylvania . < https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/live-updates-suspected-gunman-1-attendee-dead-after-shots-fired-at-trump-rally > Those who interpret the Book of Revelation to be literal might take this incident to have prophetic significance . < https://www.gotquestions.org/fatal-wound-beast.html > As can be expected , the lily livered liberals , in the Democratic party are coming out to denounce this daring deed against a would be dictator , whom if elected would place me on a hitlist , I have no doubt . If only assassination could spare this nation any further bloodshed , as the result of a potential civil war . However , this rarely , if ever , happens in human history . Usually violence only begets further carnage . And that's if an attempted assassination even succeeds in the first place . I mean , for example , Hitler survived multiple attempted assassinations . Which only serves to reinforce the idea of the figure in question enjoying the favor of the protective hand of Providence . And if the mission were to have succeeded , folks would then be deeming the radical left Antifa militants to be dangerous enemies of the state , without people ever knowing of the atrocities of the Holocaust , and World War II , that arguably could have been prevented , if only someone had been able to preemptively take out such a terrible tyrant. No , had Hitler been killed , he would have been hailed as an anti-Communist martyr . And the Communists , who unlike the center-left liberals are about the only ones with the guts to turn to the use of bullets , rather than just using ballots , to accomplish objectives , as is deemed necessarily called for , would have been all the more so castigated , and persecuted , instead of popularly lauded for having the courageous determination to risk making the ultimate sacrifice in carrying out an assassination , in the service of the population of the nation . < https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUBdpJ5cdg  > 

Police Clamp Down on Protesters at Columbia University

 I have just read of the seemingly aggressive suppression of the heated demonstration against Israel's ferocious actions in Gaza . Sentiments have become heated on all sides , and everyone has self righteously proclaimed that they are on the side of God , and/or justice . I just feel that, more than demonstration , what is needed is good faith communication . People need to gain a larger fairer perspective on the situation in Israel/Palestine , and how it is impacting the lives of all of its inhabitants , Christian , Jewish , and Muslim alike . Personally , I think that Israel must rightly recognize the equal rights of its non-Jewish citizens , and residents , to that of the Jewish population in the land , and end the apartheid and genocide . As a number of Jewish thinkers have though out time expressed , such as for a few examples Martin Buber , Albert Einstein , and Hannah Arendt their must be justice for all , in the promised land , Arab , Jew , the Goyim , and Zerah Israel alike , regardless of background or belief . But in turn the Palestinian resistance among which are the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine , and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine , must commit to just conduct in their fighting back against the reactionary Zionist onslaught , in accordance with just war theory , not only for the sake of sound ethics , but also for the sake of good optics . And I believe that Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs , especially our comrades on the left , should join in solidarity with one another . I consider this group , Standing Together , to be a good example to follow going forward . Lastly , in addition to these articles on the events that had transpired at Columbia University , I shall leave you with these two music videos I like , pertaining to life in Israel/Palestine . < https://www.jta.org/2024/04/18/ny/dozens-arrested-in-day-of-unrest-and-mass-protest-at-columbia-u-over-gaza-and-israel , https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/18/columbia-university-students-arrested-gaza-protest , https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/apr/19/far-right-columbia-university-student-arrests >

Florida Bans Books

 In both a case of life imitating art, and of history repeating itself , Florida has been banning a sizable number of books of various subject matter. This is along the same sort of lines as what had happened in the Third Reich, under Hitler, as illustrated in this book , and movie,  I have read and seen, called " The Book Thief" . I believe that any ideology, whether on the political right or left, religious or secular, can potentially become a basis for totalitarianism. Such regimes realize that ideas have substantial power, that unlike people cannot be so easily killed.  I feel that all information should be critically analyzed , and proof read, not simply censored but in good faith carefully considered. But the cults and the states they control are not so willing to compete in the marketplace of ideas. They instead seek to control the media, and suppress rather than sincerely address points of view that may run counter to their set dogma. By controlling opinion they seek to control the consciousness of the public mind. <  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nI0V-gpTc8c , https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/book-bans-florida-public-schools/ , https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2013/12/16/thie-d16.html , https://www.openmindsfoundation.org/extremism-and-manipulative-groups/ , https://www.cultwatch.com/howcultswork.html > 

Hackers Use Remote Control to Change Gas Prices

 And now , amidst the inflated fuel prices , some innovative people have been carrying out illegalist direct action  , in resistance  .  < https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/hack-pump-rising-prices-lead-reports-gas-theft-rcna35198 >  Now , for the record , I myself do not condone theft, for reasons outlined in this treatise. < https://libcom.org/library/anarchist-morality-peter-kropotkin >  However, as the common people are coming to realize just how futile both the invisible hand of the market , as well as the heavy hand of the government is in tackling the rising cost of gasoline, and cost of living more generally , such  instances of desperate measures being used to take matters into ones own hands will increase.  The American public is fed up, and not going to put up with both out of control costs, and out of touch politicians . The days are numbered I feel for both liberalism, and capitalism, in this country. What might come to replace the established social order however remains to be seen. 

Resistance Rises Against " Cop City"

 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jun/16/us-activists-protest-atlanta-cop-city-training-forest     I first heard of this ongoing situation from watching this live stream. 

The video goes into even more extensive detail about what all people's concerns are regarding this training camp. I personally feel that it would be best if the people and the power were to do right by each other, and find a way to get along in good faith. The disconnect between the public and the political powers that be is resulting in conflict, whether or not one thinks that the stated concerns are valid or not. I find this to be yet another example of both the distrust that people are having towards those in authority, and also the disregard that the power has been having for the issues that people have taken with its projects and policies. Such problems must be suitably resolved.
