What Happens When the Fascist Regime Starts Importing Outside Agitators?

Thanks for your support!Hello Friends,It’s distressing how unprepared we are as a society to recognize and respond to the fascist playbook. One of the main tools in our arsenal as individuals who value reason, and who value freedom, is the right to peaceful assembly.It’s guaranteed in the Constitution.The Founding Fathers knew that when a government is not fulfilling its obligation to the people, the people have a right to make their grievances heard.It sounds pretty simple.I know that our side is peaceful and law abiding. The problem is that a criminal is currently in charge of our armed forces, and quite a large percentage of the media seems content to repeat his propaganda.Everybody knows that a peaceful demonstration is completely lawful. However, all that goes out the window when violence happens.I trust our side to be peaceful.However, I don’t trust their side at all.We’ve seen evidence in the past of white supremacist groups infiltrating peaceful demonstrations so that they can cause a riot. Outside agitators are bussed in so they can mingle with the crowd, throw a couple rocks at the police, and then get out of there before the police mount their counter attack.The peaceful demonstrators take the brunt of the retaliation. The outside agitators are long gone before the fires are put out.Remember that every accusation from the right is always a confession. The right even blamed Democrats for the violence that took place at the Capitol on January 6th.That argument is flat out absurd, but the reason the lie rolls so easily off the tongues of right wing extremists is because IT’S A TACTIC THEY EMPLOY THEMSELVES.Now, with tensions mounting in Los Angeles, my biggest fear is that this tactic of turning a Constitutionally protected demonstration into a violent riot will be used again.So, what can we do?First, we should be clear about what modern mass demonstrations are all about. A large number of Americans are very concerned about what’s going on in our society today. We’re concerned to see people stripped of their Constitutionally protected right to due process. We’re concerned about seeing people lose their jobs for speaking out. We’re concerned about a lot of things.We have a right to peacefully assemble and express our concerns. The problem is that the current regime can’t stand any criticism. The one thing authoritarians hate most of all is having their lies questioned. They want to strip the right to free speech from us as well.Our side wants to return to a time of reason where we obey and respect the Constitution. The current administration is failing to uphold its oath to protect the Constitution. They are responding to our Constitutional right to assembly by illegally deploying the military.My concern is that this is setting up a ticking time bomb where some kind of violence becomes an inevitability. On top of that, because our side is peaceful, they are not inclined to fight. So, I’m worried that the current administration is going to lose patience and start sending in their agitated groups like the deadbeats and the depraved men that they sent to the Capitol on January 6. Those guys are out in our society again remember, the Republicans pardoned them.These are losers who were willing to defile our Capitol and break in and destroy government property. They're out there. They've been freed. So why wouldn't they take on the mission of picking a fight between peaceful defenders of the Constitution and the military?I feel that that this regime wants a bloodbath and they’re not above putting their finger on the scale in order to get one.It’s imperative that we remember that the brave men and women of our armed forces are all Americans. The peaceful Constitution activists are also Americans. People didn’t sign up for the military to use force against their fellow Americans.They signed up to protect us.What’s going on right now is a betrayal of the sacred trust to care for the members of our military. They shouldn’t be used like pawns and dropped into situations that are designed to turn bad.But here we are.One of the things that we have to be mindful of right now is that no matter what side of the line you’re on, you have to make sure that the people around you behave.If you’re part of a demonstration and somebody shows up and starts throwing rocks at the police or the military, you have to make it stop.You have to make it stop!Our demonstrations must be peaceful because if if we allow these outside agitators to invoke violence, people are going to die.On top of the loss of lives, we’re also going to lose our society. If people die at a demonstration, that’s going to give the lawless regime the legal argument it’s been looking for to seize even more control. They will not hesitate to strip us of whatever rights remain.Everyone has to be careful.Everyone has to be smart.No matter which side you’re on, look up and down the line and take it upon yourself to ensure your side behaves.Remember that members of white supremacist groups are losers with nothing else to do. I assume there are massive email lists out there. Remember that the forces of evil are funded from the illicit gains of every atrocity committed against human beings throughout all of recorded history.There is a whole army of aggrieved white supremacist losers out there. They’ve got nothing else to do. They’ve got no jobs. More and more you see these rented trucks pull up and guys wearing masks start spilling out of the back.Whether your with the police, whether you’re with the military, whether you’re standing with those who are bravely demonstrating to defend the Constitution, you must not allow any violence. If violence erupts, stop it.The only time you can lift a hand is to stop somebody from throwing a stone. Other than that, be peaceful.If you allow them to ignite the fuse of chaos, everyone will be rounded up.We are all Americans. We all want prosperity. We all want to protect our country. Don’t let the losers of history ignite a fight that will rob us of all that we hold dear.Here’s a related conversation:You all make this newsletter happen! Thanks for your sponsorship!
