Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Punk’s interest in Greenland and Panama Canal is legit and driven by China concerns. There is no reasoning that justifies forcefully taking over the property of another country. None. Denmark has repeatedly said they will not go down without a fight. Panama is equally defensive. The EU adamantly supports Denmark’s defense. The entire situation is bad for the world.
More states, like Tennesee, are passing bills stripping away the rights of towns and cities to provide sanctuary for immigrants. LGBTQAI+ rights, particularly trans rights, are under attack as well. Constitution be damned, individuals are being stripped of their rights faster than reporters have a chance to write about them. The well-coordination onslaught of treachory between state and federal agencies is unlike anything we’ve ever experienced. We’ve been caught offguard.
Not that there isn’t any resistance. The most-downloaded document on the Internet at the moment is the Simple Sabotage Field Manual by United States Office of Strategic Services, This WWII document, declassified in 2008, contains the instructions given to those involved in the resistance on how to interfere with and confuse government agencies, including law enforcement entitites such as the Gestapo and SS. Reading through it, there isn’t much that doesn’t apply. Never mind that the document is almost 100 years old. The dangers and remedies are both frighteningly applicable to the situation we find ourselves in today. If one has any lingering question whether we are dealing with a fascist government, this document removes it. I strongly suggest getting your own copy now. It’s free.
We are dealing with a level of unprecedented stupidity. Not that everyone is individually stupid, but that too many people are involved in stupid activities, stupid conspiracy theories, and stupid ‘spiritual’ remedies that aren’t going to save anyone. Writing in the NYTimes opinion pages, David Brooks outlines The Six Principles of Stupidity. It’s a good read on the whole, but let me summarize for those of you who feel you’re too busy.
Ideology produces disagreement, but stupidity produces befuddlement.Â
Stupidity often inheres in organizations, not individuals.
People who behave stupidly are more dangerous than people who behave maliciously.
People who behave stupidly are unaware of the stupidity of their actions.
Stupidity is nearly impossible to oppose.
The opposite of stupidity is not intelligence, it’s rationality.
Brooks is well-researched and dead-on accurate in his assessment. We are dealing with an incomprehesible wave of stupidity that can only be countered with an equally large wave of rationality.
Here’s my question for you this morning: How long will you wait before physically and verbally standing up against this government? How many innocent people have to be sentenced to concentration camps in Colorado and Guantanamo? How many of your neighbors have to die? How many of your friends have to disappear?
We’re not going to wake up at any point and find that all the stupidity of this administration has magically gone away and been replaced by sudden competency. This isn’t a two-year or four-year endurance race that we simply have to wait out. We have to forcefully take the country back. All of it. Every city, every state, and every agency. We can’t ask politely, we can’t litigate our way back into reason. We have to be aggressive, loud, and more forceful than anyone ever expected.
There’s a lot going on this weekend. WWE’s Royal Rumble is in town. Sunday afternoon is the largely meaningless Pro Bowl. Music’s biggest night, The Grammy’s are Sunday evening with a guaranteed appearance by Taylor Swift. There are plenty of things to keep us distracted, and make no mistake about it, the oligarchy running this country loves that we are so easily distracted.
No one thinks that we’re going to rise up in masse and revolt.
Ending The Stupidity
Yesterday was exhausting on too many levels. Not only did we wake to the news of 67 dead in an air collision in DC, but then former figure skating champion and long-time skating announcer Dick Button passed at 95. Felonious Punk falsely blamed DEI hires when his own firing of FAA officials is more likely to have contributed to the crash. I watched the live news updates. I watched as former figure skating champion Nancy Kerrigan tearfully paid tribute to the lives lost. I watched as the names of the victims were released, including one woman from the Indy area. Our nation mourns collectively when tragedies like this happen and the weight of that emotion was palpable most of the day.
And then, things got worse.
When RFK Jr. was presented with the science on vaccines he said needed to see, he dismissed it. If he is confirmed as Secretary of Health and Human Services, the lives of every American are in danger. As bad as our healthcare system is, it will get worse, more people will die, and diseases will spread. There’s no debate on the matter.

We have an obligation to prove them wrong.
Take it ALL back.
