Good work, Ken. God forbid! A wealthy "comfortable" highly compensated class of corporate executives are at increased risk for theoretical harm Including physical violence when in fact untold numbers of persons who retain everyday moderately paid jobs and responsibilities face normalized-by-the-media risks of harm to life, limb and mental health-simply by-living-in-America. The hypocrisy and selective coverage by corporate media can make the mind reel. Important to stay focussed on new directions and staying positively engaged!
I’m waiting for the government to outlaw talking and writing altogether, although an exception would be made for pro-Israel speakers and writers. And probably anyone who supports Musk would be given special clearance. I assume the thought police are trained and ready to be deployed throughout the land.
Here’s what scares me: I fear that a majority of Americans either don’t know or (worse) don’t care about the government’s drive to muzzle us. We who get our information from independent journalists like Ken and even from Twitter have a far better handle on the government’s activities than those who rely on corporate media. My friends, who avidly read the NYT and WaPo (and despise Trump), have a completely different view of the world than I do. They accused me of catastrophizing in 2015 when I predicted that Trump would destroy the country within a few years, and now I’m catastrophizing again when I say that free speech is almost dead.
You remember the old saying "going to hell in a hand basket? We here in the good ole USA are going to hell in an enormous ark. It's not in water, because we're short of that, We're going in a nuclear blaze, we're dropped of into fire and brimstone, or starvation, suffering, pain and disease, if we're not immolated in a few minutes, hours, days or more. There is precious little intelligence in our governing bodies, armed forces, secret service agencies of various 3 and 4 letter names. G-d isn't doing this to us, WE'RE DOING IT TO OURSELVES, Thanks to a few international rich and powerful rotten criminals in the basket; All are rotten; power brokers and their henchmen, hired killers, grifters and foot soldiers; INSANITY STALKS THE LAND AND PEOPLE. We've seen it coming for more than decades, centuries. Good luck to the wealthy survivors in bunkers, in the far south or the far north, on Mars or cryo containers (frozen) to wake in however long it takes if ever, to thaw out and live to......How long did it take our planet to become habitable and homo "sapiens" LOL to become sapient? LOL! You know the old saying "If voting counted, it would be illegal"?
I am just a foolish old woman, disabled and unable to Imagine turning the juggernaut around. Sorry for the raging rant.
THIS is the end of the USA: When you 'shut down' the people whether by force or 'posts' on websites you know damned well the Govt. is coming for you next.
I am more interested in the subject of future USA which is already written.
You are controlled by ZIONISTS: EVANGELICALS in the USA
I have a strong feeling that US will be STRANGLED because of their unconditional support of ZIONISM.
I will write more on my own substack because I see NOTHING but the same old editorials.
People saying the same thing over and over again. WHO exactly on substack is looking to the future?
I am not writing much lately because I am 'sick and tired' of multiple people saying the same thing over and over again.
WHAT does the future look like to you the Western powers?
I think more people might find it informative to take a look at Curtis Yarvin, and his totally twisted, Dark Enlightenment vision. They are, apparently, very influential among the TechBros, including Thiel and Musk, and unfortunately, of the ones in the White House, the Muck faction seems to be the only ones who actually have some level of competency, unlike the Signal Gate-gang. I'd like to know your opinion on this. I fear, that it is not only the generals who are fighting the last war, but we the people, who may be fighting the last dictatorship.
Yarvin's screeds, found at "Gray Mirror", are an unreadable mix of sophomoric babble, carefully selected bits of philosophy and esoteric history and enough self-importance to power the Titanic from America to iceberg and beyond. He wants a king. Beyond that it's hard for me to figure out.
I've been thinking for a while now that what would very likely be a big, enabling difference between the fascist take-overs of post WWI democracies and what's been going on in the US and elsewhere was the almost complete absence of specifically communist agitation and the rise of communist parties. So much of what has been labelled "The Left" has caved to the (very) broad Right, in much the same way as pre-WWI broadly left political parties voted for war, leaving only a tiny rump of socialists and communists who didn't.
Now, I don't think that lack of strength on the political left matters a bit: fascists' more liberal enablers are happily joining in on the lies, signal-boosting them as if they were true. I really do think "red terror" is going to appear soon, scooping up anyone who is openly to the left of MSNBC on any matter of opinion, never mind actual policy.
Any ideas as to steps that can be taken (aside from finding dead letter boxes for privately circulated printed matter or hitting the road/getting armed up [too many of us, especially older folks, have left too many hostages to fortune for this to viable at the moment])?
IF you ALL look at the comments on Matts (RACKET NEWS) you will understand ONE thing. These people who comment are a dying breed. They do not understand the 'future!''
That has been so disappointing to see where Matt has ended up. I didn't resubscribe last time, so I can't comment there, but sometimes I read that cesspool of a comments section. I doubt he reads them, if he did, I think it might be a wakeup call to where he's headed.
I am not going to disagree BUT I also want to be fair. As a Journalist is it right to take sides? Matt does not do this which is why the comments are so vile. In many ways I think he is correct.
Ka Ching goes our tax dollars. CEO lives matter more than working stiff lives. I don't feel safe in America anymore haha call the ADL

Is the fbi monitoring my posts about Hunter’s Hawg? What are they doing about the lack of Hunter’s Hog under the Trump Administration?
I was missing your posts!

Maybe I won't bother looking.
Never heard of him. Will look him up.
“RENT a COP” has a family who they will fight for till the bitter end.
MR. ‘rent a cop’ FINALLY realises that the US HATES brown people and wants to deport your wife and family.
Is it possible that these brown/black people will get the message?

There is actually NO HOPE if you write the same thing again and again.
