NP - Get Sharp for the US Coup

[matthew cissell]

Dear all,

It is by now clear that the US is being taken over from within. We need no
more evidence than the fact that the Dictator is openly talking of sending
US citizens to El Slavador. Do you think judges or lawsuits will stop them?
How long before he rounds up his enemies? Will the police stop him? The
Generals? Only the people can do it because the people are the power.

It is time to employ methods developed by Gene Sharp and others to act
against the totalitarian wave that is subsuming the country. If you don't
know the name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Sharp

We are hindered by the fact that for now half of the country supports this
perverse turn from weak democracy to a seriously anti-democratic regime.
(Remember how many people supported Mussolini and look how that ended.)
However, that has also been true at other times and places, and it is not
sufficient to stifle discontent and protest or avoid change.

This conflict started with words and words must be a part of it. (I can't
believe nobody has compared Klemperer's *Lingua Tertii Imperii* with the
language used by the Tyrant and his servants.) First, it is not the
far-right, they are fascists. He is not a president and that office has
lost all virtue and reverence, let us call him Tyrant.

What can you do? Start by dropping social media accounts. The plutoscum
that support the tyrant will be hurt by cancellations that affect
advertising revenue. Yes, that means ditching Facebook, Instafool, Twatter
and the rest. To hell with Bezos and the rest. Cancel Amazon. Right by
W.A.S.T.E. Postpone or cancel major purchases. And no T.V. Stop the economy.

Next, unseat the complacent and lazy politicians who do nothing. Enough
appeasement and fear. Schumer's approach will have us patiently walk up to
the oven doors waiting for the Tyrant's approval rating to fall. What
madness!

Direct action is necessary, but it must be non-violent. Student walkouts to
disrupt school. Block access to offices and work sites. Let the Black Block
do their thing but be ready to condemn it even if you approve.

More importantly we must work to expose and aggravate the fissures in the
regime. There are rabidly anti-gay elements in coalition with Bessent and
Thiel and the rest of the log-cabin Repubs. They should be at each other's
throats.

Also, not enough has been done to play to the Xians. Would it be so hard to
push the line that they have followed a False Prophet and chosen an
Anti-Christ? You don't have to convince them all, just enough to peel off
support. And I have seen that happen with my own conservative leaning
family.

And the list of points to attack on is long. Funding for the V.A. cut by a
draft dodging coward? Help for homeless and addicts being cancelled?
Cutting food programs for the less fortunate? The Tyrant is as Xian as that
fat bastard Goring.

People stopped the endless back and forth of violence in Ireland, not
politicians. (I was there when the Good Friday Peace Accord was signed. And
it has perdured.) People brought down the Wall in Berlin, not heads of
State. People scared the Chinese Communist Party in Tiananmen. People have
power. We delegated that power to our representative government and have
been betrayed. Congress has given its authority to the Executive branch,
but they did not ask our permission. It is time to take our government and
our country back. It does not belong to one group and their ideology or
beliefs. "This land is your land, this land is my land... this land was
made for you and me."

Share this letter with those opposed to what is happening. This is our
battle against the darkness. We must not falter.
Down with the Tyrant!

In Solidarity,
Matthew C. Cissell
