1. The problem is many do not realize we are in a domestic war.

2. The PutinGOP wages war against us, as does China and the rest of the autocratic bloc.
They wish to shift the global world order to their favor. And become 21st century superpowers.

3. Most of the GOP aligns with the autocratic bloc because they want what fascists have,
total permanent power and access to all national financial assets.

4. US oligarchs appear to have aligned with the autocratic bloc as well.
They want cheap labor, no taxes and no regulation.

5. Dictator and oligarch rule go hand in hand.

6. This fascist and oligarch rule is now deeply embedded across our government at the highest levels.

7. I do not think a single Dem charismatic leader is the answer.

8. Please note that JFK, RFK, MLK were all assassinated by those in power.

9. I think we do need strong leadership but one person cannot do it alone.

10. But first it entails leadership finally facing reality. The geopolitics tectonic plates
are shifting beneath our feet as we speak.

11. It may indeed take a Pearl Harbor type event to wake up the American people.

12. The loss of our democracy and freedom.

13. At the end of the day it is going to fall on We The People to fight for our democracy.

14. And fight hard.
