Dear Friends, I am terrified that Pete Heegseth is summoning all 800 generals to an in person meeting. Some will argue that WWW 111 started when Putin invaded Ukraine and Netanyahu decided to annihilate the population of GAZA and aa many other Palestinians as he can.

Putin and other tyrants and would be tyrants would love to see our entire planet fall under tyranny.

i hope some group can find legal and lawful and non violent ways to prevent 800 American generals from

being kidnapped, murdered or imprisoned by the extremists working hard to destroy the USA as a democracy albeit an imperfect democracy.

To the American People:

If our government shuts down, we must understand the truth: it is not a political game. It is a direct assault on you, your family, your livelihood, and your future. Every shutdown means federal workers go without pay, public services grind to a halt, safety nets weaken, and those in power gamble with our lives while protecting their own wealth and privilege.

Enough is enough.

When the government stops working for the people, the people must stop working for the system that exploits them. That means immediate, unified action:

Boycott: Do not spend a dime enriching corporations that fund this chaos.

Strike: Withdraw your labor, your cooperation, and your consent until those in office restore accountability.

Unify: Stand with workers, neighbors, and communities across the nation. Alone, they ignore us. Together, they cannot.

A government shutdown is not a pause button. It is a declaration that the ruling class values power over people. We must answer with one voice: We will not be governed by dysfunction. We will not fund our own destruction.

The time for passivity is over. If they shut us down, we shut them out.

I agree with Zev when he says another aspect to this domestic terrorism is perpetrated the radicalization of young men playing video games. They’re so realistic now. How many characters has the average gamer shot? It’s brain training that wipes out any empathy that they may have had.

The irony is all the Silicon Valley Tech Bro James Bond villains were all addicted to sci-fi and video games. I watched a YT special with a man name Richard McKenna who for 25 years was a computer scientist and one of the early designers of AI until I think he eventually got out of it because he saw the horse had left the barn and there was no going back, and said all these billionaire tech Bros...Elon-Peter Thiel-Curtis Yarvin, et al,.were all addicted to them but unfortunately they were never able to move past them and learn human empathy. "Lack of Empathy" was the thing I noticed the most of what he said. Obviously, they are all dead as ice. i don't know how some of them actually have relationships and children. And obviously, couldn't give a fuck less about the rest of mankind.

These generals need to swear their loyalty then plan a military coup and take over the Whitehouse!

Exactly - you don’t argue with crazy.

OMFG! What if those 800 military officers don’t go to the meeting? There are probably more of them, and us, than this administration. What can we do?

There is something deeply disturbing about this military powwow. Hegseth could himself be surprised

Re Hegseth, what do you think that's about?

According to reporting its so Drunk Uncle Hedgehog can give a little 'talk' about "Warrior Ethos". Sure, that makes sense: Have all the brass fly in from the 4 corners of the earth ....for a pep talk. I'm not buying it!
