I hear you—and I wrote this because I believe silence right now is complicity. What’s happening in Los Angeles is a warning shot to the rest of the country. We have to stay loud, stay sharp, and stand with anyone resisting this slide into authoritarianism. Thank you for reading—and for caring enough to say something.
Your publication is spot on with explicit detail and beautiful, expressive clarity meeting the urgency of these times. Thank you! Just one request....could you add top layer updates for our peace of mind. Since you wrote this, I believe the CA Governor has back control of his Guard. But for the sake of less panic, when we win a few, please update. Thanks much!
As the fascist regime refuses to listen to its people, and stirs conflict within our borders, this purposeful weakness will become the invitation to those outside it. Mystery Babylon… is America
Mystery Babylon indeed. Empires don’t fall all at once—they decay from within, drunk on their own violence, blind to the fire at their feet. A nation that tears its people apart while boasting of greatness is not invincible—it’s ripe. And history’s judgment never misses its mark.
You're right, Donny. This is no rehearsal, but merely Scene 1, Act 1 of what will become an ongoing drama which will provide the rationale for the suspension of midterms when the time rolls around. All on 'national security' grounds, of course.
Yes—and like all authoritarian plays, it opens with spectacle and ends with silence. Scene 1, Act 1 is right: this isn’t just a deployment, it’s a narrative being engineered in real time. “National security” is the curtain they’ll drop over every future breach. The question is whether we recognize the script before the final act is already in motion.
Last night - That reminds me of what I learned from Heather Cox Richardson’s Journey to American Democracy | Ten Steps to Revolution - good info here. Most are related to the US history, which gives us the instruction on how to fight.
“The history does not repeat, but it does instruct.”
Please. That’s false and you know it. Biden never invoked the Insurrection Act. And while past presidents have used Title 10, Trump’s use of it against a state’s will—for a political crackdown, not a public emergency—is without precedent. If you have evidence to the contrary, by all means, post it. But I’m not going to allow you to come into my comment section and spread nonsense.
Absolutely. The oath is to the Constitution—not to any one man. The tragedy is that the legal gray zone around Title 10 lets this kind of occupation masquerade as lawful. That’s why public pressure, legal clarity, and moral courage—especially from within the ranks—are more vital than ever. You’re right: they should stand down. But so should every institution enabling this.
What is happening to our country and democracy!!! We must stand up to the orange maniac!!

Remember Hong Kong.
AMERICA...WE HAVE TO STAND UP! THIS WILL NOT SYOP...WE HAVE TO UNITE AND STOP IT
Oh, by the way... Biden invoked the insurrection act.
