I just got some jewelry with purpose like earrings that say, resist and a necklace that says, Not Today fascist. It’s ongoing and we must stand together

ALL of these fascist coups, including especially Trump's, got their structure and resources from Big Capitalist Corporate Power. The People CAN fight these scum, but we must use modern networking, communications, and yes, money with the most modern methods AND some very old ones. We must strike the pigz hard, fast, and lethally. When we seize power, we must RUTHLESSLY keep it, shirking no bloodshed. Our enemies will cheerfully murder us. We must in the wars to come, do likewise, and do it better. Thus our victory, and Life on Earth itself may be assured. To fail is to condemn all Life to death, which is the goal of monsters like Netanyahu and Trump.

Seems leaders like these take office to avoid jail! And crimina habit run deep! We the People must recover and reject this fascist movement led by djt and hold all accountable that enabled and corrupted our constitutional Democracy. Then legislate new modern roadblocks to prevent future illegal takeovers!

USA MUST VOTE BLUE!

Well Jerry, the killing is prevalent in Blue States and cities. The Dems defunded the police, opened the borders to create chaos and affect elections, targeted children and managed a racketeering scheme, including social services, NGOs, elections and weaponizing the judiciary. 🤔

Yes, DJ Trump thinks he is a Fascist dictator. He tries to select rules, made by him to change direction of American democratic principles. He tries to rule as a dictator, avoiding consent by Congress.

His executive decisions are made independent of congressional approval. Many of his decisions try to pass approval, with the Supreme Court later indicating the decisions are against the law or constitution. Many of DJTrmp’s decisions are turned over on legality purposes when reviewed by the Supreme Court. PHT …

Turkey's warning is true. Even when our governments operate correctly, the emergency is always present and must be watched!

Good piece - except for one MAJOR flaw...

"The AKP didn’t manufacture the 2016 coup attempt. Elements of the military, many linked to the Gülen movement (a former Erdoğan ally turned rival), genuinely tried to overthrow the government."

THAT STATEMENT IS NOT ONLY INCORRECT BUT ALSO IT AIDS THE TYRANT ERDOGAN

Here’s the thing…

TURKIYE FALSE FLAG ‘COUP’ - JULY 2016

·         Why wouldn't the 'plotters' have seized the leaders of the government as part of the initial wave of their offensive action?

·         Why were so few soldiers actually on the streets?

·         Why were those soldiers all young recruits in their early twenties? (who were told that they were playing ‘war games’)

·         Why wouldn't you use your top commandos for such an operation?

·         If you wanted to have the people on side for your coup, why would you shoot them from your one (despite having hundreds in your Airforce) chopper in the air?

·         And why would you run over them with one of the handful of Tanks that you deployed? (Despite having hundreds in your Armory.)

·         The military's job is to play 'war games' to ascertain what they would need to do regarding an operation of defense or offence.

·         That's their real day job - hence drilling of all kinds on a regular basis.

·         So why was this coup so poorly planned and executed?

·         An army never engages unless it is ASSURED of victory

But wait, there’s more!

And even he equivocates at times regarding the bogeyman Gulen being responsible.

It was no Coup. It was a False Flag Event designed by Erdogan, his Crime Gang, and Turkish Intelligence (MIT).

To seize, expand, and exploit power to stay out of jail for his previous efforts in aiding ISIS and to plunder the Turkish State’s coffers.

The Dictator won. Turkiye lost.

End of.

Turkiye is the name.

Lets try to respect their choice of name for their own country.

Elie Mystal has been giving the same WARNING.

Check out his Substack interviews with Daniel Moodie and Wajahat Ali.

Court Reform must be the top priority !!!
