NP - Get Sharp for the US Coup

[J Tracy]

These thoughts are very very close to my own sense of how things are. And I am in as much rebellion against the Democrats as the Tyrannosaurus Rump. I will never vote for or support or pay taxes to any promoter of genocide.  That and Global toxic fever are my own biggest talking points and there are more people appalled by these things than most imagine. . I am reading Roger Hallam and his understanding of social revolution and it speaks to me. Nobody wants to face this but unless there is a mass movement that relentlessly opposes US imperialism abroad and open bribery at home, the US is just another version of fascism. I appreciate your thoughts and  am canceling Facebook tomorrow after notifying friends.
