Morning, Threaders, Threadheads, and all in between.
Fucking coffee.
Enthusiasms.
I have stated before that in order for a totalitarian regime to replace a democratic society the one element it needs to absolutely control is the military. Following Project 2025 guidelines that effort is currently underway. No matter how flawed a democracy is it will remain salvageable as long as the military stay independent of its political struggles.
Some often compare this descent into the abyss we are in to present day Russia. There’s no truth in it and here’s why: Putin’s Russia may seem like an old fashioned totalitarian regime but it’s not. It’s really a fascist like oligarchy that inherited the work of the Soviet Union’s true totalitarianism. And that we may well become. Putin didn’t have to worry about controlling the military to ensure his ascension to power. Stalin did it for him.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union there was a brief period when life seemed possible in a democratic society. There was a free press and there was freedom of expression and there was hope for the future but the roots of repression ran too deep and corruption in a more open environment spreads faster than in a closed one so there was a race to the top to find out who would profit the most and retain control of political power through that type of influence.
The objective, of course, was to have absolute power and Putin achieved it not with the help of the military but by aligning the interests of the top tier oligarchs with his and guaranteeing their fortunes. Because Stalin did the dirty work for them they need not worry about a military that would intervene to stop the madness nor did they need it to crush dissent. Their military had been transformed into a corrupt tool without meaning many years prior.
Long before Putin the former Soviet Army had been indoctrinated to obey the men in power without question and their senior ranks were already infected with delusions of imperial greatness and addicted to the material benefits they are provided to this day. The uniformed little versions of oligarchy who collect the crumbs left for them. They had lost their honor long ago. They lost it in a dark day of July, 1918, at Yekaterinburg and what was left of it was put to death by Stalin.
We’re not Russia. The Biden family will not be arrested and executed nor will our military ranks be purged with bullets. Instead there will be another staged legal process where opponents are dragged through the mud for the entertainment of the masses and what they call “warrior board” will ensure the military high ranking officers who have a shred of honor in them are fired. It’s the apprentice again. Will it work? Oligarchy in the US thrived and ruled in our flawed democracy.
In a completely unexpected turn of events, the society they have worked so hard to create, where people were just poor enough to still hope to be rich and just ignorant enough to seem educated, regurgitated an obscenity: the orange turd. The one who they despised the most and so desperately wanted to be like them. It was a fluke, a glitch in the matrix. In this construct they built to thrive undetected this clown found a loop hole to reach power.
His first four years were marked by attempts to throttle him and keep him in check. He didn’t like it at all and when the people voted him out he brew in his hatefulness and prepared a come back solely based on revenge. So instead of looking for support among those who despised him all along he gathered little men like him who also had similar resentments. A mix of ideologues and technologues all of whom also despise the people as much as he does but are masters of deception.
On November 5 this strange coalition managed to barely pull through and allowed the turd a second chance. But this time there will be no listening to the old money or adherence to long games to preserve the status quo. That’s not what he wants. He wants his own little kingdom and will try to extend it too or at least make sure he can keep his fortune and influence should the attempt to get rid of presidential term limits doesn’t stick to the wall.
Watching the way Joe Biden received him at the White House as witnessing Kamala Harris concession before that is like watching a rerun of a bad movie in which the actors pretend the rules didn’t change and, like many say, “we will be okay”. No. We won’t. This is a new game. One with no rules except one: get rid of the rules. As I said before: chaos. A sudden new burst of chaos to allow for the installation of unchecked authority. A chaos in which we will all suffer.
The slow descent into controlled chaos is suddenly a free fall into it so expect everything to happen everywhere all at once in a brainless but very dangerous attempt to land safely before we hit the ground. It’s like we’re in a plane that was put in a downwards trajectory to the Land of Oligarchy but by a sick twist of fate the lunatics got in the cockpit and took over, putting it on a steep dive. They need to get rid of all the rules and fast before we can take control again.
There are still too many things that can stop them, among which the very same oligarchs that watch in horror as the ground looks bigger and closer through their first class windows. This is not what they had in mind. This crazy deep dive will turn into a deadly spin and they know it. But the lunatics in the cockpit don’t. They just want it to land as fast as possible. They want to “get there” now. They will crash and take us with them. Their failure will still cause immense damage.
They have the three branches of government now. The “free press” already started to dumb us down and sing high praises to the dear leader. They laugh and giggle and use words like “brilliant” when they refer to the turd. They are scared shitless and hysterically laugh as they plunge into the abyss. Unless they change that I think it’s safe to say we lost the fourth estate with few exceptions.
But not all was lost. For all intents and purposes we are still a democracy with an opposition party and midterms on the way. Dissent is still (barely) present in the legacy media and there’s this: social media. There’s a chance to take over Congress in two years and they know this. That will be our turn to show up and remove his ability to crash us into the ground. That’s why everything’s so crazy and is happening so fast. They are out of time.
In 2026 there will be no “Palestine”, there will be no Jill Stein (that’s in 4 years), there will be no orange turd on the ballot. There’s no 2028 this and that. There’s no time. I am laser focused on the 2026 midterms. And so are they. They know they only have two years and need to move fast. So what was the one thing that stood firm and didn’t give in during the turd’s first go at it? The military. During those dark four years no one told him “No” more than the military did.
Even the “Mad Dogs” he tried to convert told him to fuck off. That’s why he is appointing a lunatic news host as Secretary of Defense and planning the tacky named “Warrior Board” to “purge” the ranks of their honor and their ability to say “No”.
Will it work? Will all women in the military go away? Will the VA be extinct? Will we bomb Iran and most of all will we be shot in the streets when we protest? I don’t think so.
Acceptance is not an option.
Stay strong. We’re NOT Russia.
