Ok, Beacons of truth and all that. Yup, really important that we know what is actually happening and you are doing that job well. Thanks very much. But, but, just knowing just showing up to protests that are otherwise unfocused has no actual power to move the needle. I would go so far as to say that Trump actually gets off on it. He love…
Ok, Beacons of truth and all that. Yup, really important that we know what is actually happening and you are doing that job well. Thanks very much. But, but, just knowing just showing up to protests that are otherwise unfocused has no actual power to move the needle. I would go so far as to say that Trump actually gets off on it. He loves it when we are out there protesting in our thousands and it has absolutely no effect on him. This is the demonstration of power that he craves.
So Instead of more of that let's talk about a plan. Let's make our protesting more purposeful. Senator E. Warren and others just introduced a bill in congress saying that there is and was no emergency of any sort. Therefore the assumption of emergency powers to set Tariffs from the executive branch is illegal and cannot be done. The sponsors of this bill need several, not many, but several representatives in both houses to cross the line and vote for this bill. This is a clear opportunity to make our protests focused. Let's not just protest in town somewhere. Let's not have random signs saying whatever. Let's focus and protest outside congressional offices. Let's tell them specifically that they must vote for this bill OR Simply they will be out of a job. Let's tell them that the biggest threat to their future is not being primaried by Musk it is being voted out by us because they didn't protect constitutional law and sacrificed the power of their office to a dictator.
Yeah let's do that.
And Ben you do say that you read all the posts. So what do you think? How about having Senator E. Warren back on and have her comment on focused protests. How about getting Senator B. Sanders to comment. How about using your platform to get specific and actually do stuff.? OR, if you really think I'm off the wall and or you have another plan let me know and I would love to get behind it because I really do think you are doing great work. I just don't understand the long or short term plan.
You are so right. Unfocused protests will not achieve much. There has to be a well organized and coordinated plan. Tyrants can be overthrown if the Will is strong enough. They did it in Romania 1989. The military supported the protesters and brought the dictator Ceausescu down.
It is a matter of reach. I am writing and talking to everyone I am in contact with. But that is numbered in double digits at most. Perhaps I’m not the kind of guy that just does well pursuing popularity. I have always believed that ideas should stand on their own, but the reality is personality plays a huge role. I object a little bit to your comment that I know better. Because actually what I’m saying is, I’m not seeing organized plans being discussed anywhere including in your answer to me. Senator Warren has an active plan in the presentation of her bill opposing emergency status however she’s been very clear that some people have to cross the aisle for the bill to pass.
I hear you. The powerful aren't listening. As usual. We are on a fast track to fascism. No one is listening, still. Meidas gets it. Don't shit on them. The power we need isn't helping. I just want to know why. ✌️
OK, rereading my first sentence I can see how you might think I was being negative about what midas touch is doing. That is certainly not my intent, I think they’re great and stepped in and became successful basically creating a whole arena that didn’t exist before for truth to get out. I do intend to question whether they need to get involved in planning though There has been some things that I read that indicated Ben is probably really good at that.

We need to shut down Washington, DC.....for as long as it takes. Cars, busses, campers, tractor trailers....
Why aren't you organizing something,since you seem to know better.
