Read Prequel, Peter. Conservatives have always taken advantage of our Bill of Rights especially when it comes to breaking the law. When these agencies you mention work to do their jobs as you mentioned, the conservatives bully them to stop them. Conservatives fought to keep slavery, then avoided prosecution following the Civil War, then undermined reconstruction, set up Jim Crows laws....the list goes on and on....conservatives are why the Wall Street crooks walked in 2008
Thank you, Rickey. I'd not heard of this book, although I did know about some of its content, in particular, some of the characters involved, as well as the influence of American racism on Hitler and Nazi policy.
I shall read this book, since I am scatterbrains and it appears to put together what is still, for me, a ragbag of scattered information.
Today's Americans, including, I suspect, many—even most—fellow readers of Letters from an American, seem blind to the very pressing reality of a well-nigh completed counter-revolution—the overthrow, not only of the modern Federal State, but of the original American Revolution and the Constitution and Bill of Rights that crowned that long struggle.
Blind, because quite unable to see the wood for all the habitual trees.
And we can be quite sure that, if the ultrafascist seizure of the State should be completed according to plan, appearances and all the familiar American rituals that go to make up those appearance will be preserved. The reality that underlies that shiny, flickering telescreen surface, is to be replaced.
Through the parachute troops that have invested the judiciary, in particular the “conservative” majority of the Supreme Court, the bare bones of Führerprinzip have already been put in place, updating that grand slogan plastered across walls throughout Fascist Italy:
MUSSOLINI HA SEMPRE RAGIONE — MUSSOLINI IS ALWAYS RIGHT
As a teenager, I saw the remains of that sign on Italian walls, together with LONG LIVE MUSSOLINI replaced by DOWN WITH MUSSOLINI. And still on walls when the train reached the outskirts of Paris in 1952… A BAS LES JUIFS… DOWN WITH THE JEWS…
Under “normalization” (as in post-Dubcek Czechoslovakia) there will be new “Jews”—new scapegoats, new pariahs. However, those Jews still true to the essential values of the tradition, with its deeply ingrained sense of justice, will be in danger. As will be genuine Christians—despite the imposition of a form of imperial pseudo-Christianity reminiscent of the Japanese militarists’ State Shinto.
And it goes without saying that women and every aspect of the Feminine are to be subservient. The left wing of the bald eagle is to be firmly pinioned.
If you are at long last willing to see what no one in their right mind would wish to see, go to the conspiracy theories now being aired by the Heritage Foundation, the so-called 2024 Transition Integrity Project, which spell out the plans of the MAGA-GOP but… attribute them to Joe Biden… Admire the ingenuity of those who would be your new owners. In today’s WaPo:
“The GOP group behind Project 2025 floats conspiracy theory that Biden will use 'force' to keep power
A conservative think tank that is planning a complete overhaul of the federal government in the event of a Republican presidential win is suggesting that President Joe Biden might try to hold the White House “by force” if he loses the November election
By Gary Fields and Ali Swenson | AP”
Yes. Admire, enjoy, and maybe for a change accept the reality of the regime that is being put in place for you.
And, having accepted that reality, have the guts and the principles to refuse once and for all to surrender to it.
Deep changes are coming to the world and we shall have to adjust to them.
I have not entertained illusions about America, all my life I have been very critical of many, many aspects of the great power. But then, neither have I entertained illusions about anti-Americanism, however justifiable, however understandable.
Now we face those who would throw all our babies out with the bathwater (while upholding the "rights" of zygotes...).
Such vile legislative sewage gushing forth from the House. Deluded deluders about to invite a grandmaster deluder, self-deluder... and I shall refrain from spelling out the rest of what there is to be said about the wretch.
How is it that human beings are the only animals on this Earth that can select misleaders, then praise, lionize, even worship them? How can beings that can perform such wonders attain such depths of malignant, suicidal stupidity?
Love your thoughts and writings Peter. Sadly at least to me most Magas aren't true Fascist idealogues. They are mostly just bigots. You are right however in wondering WHY our security state isn't trying harder to stop this deep threat to our Republic?!
I note that you use the word "conservative" exclusively with the meaning it has come to acquire for those who are not and have no admiration for upholders of finders-keepers and fences determined to hold onto the swag they've acquired even if the whole world must be destroyed to ensure that hold.... What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine.
The Forty Thieves are to rule the world and Ali Baba is to die like Navalny.
Let me clarify- CONservative leadership of today. I posted and 11 part series here on SUbstack about how the entirety of conservative leadership is leading this charge. Many of the conservative I know are uninformed of what their real plan is and have some difficulty in defending them once their actions verify those plans.
Rick, I am so happy that you're making a big point of it to delineate between gop leadership and the general membership ! I've been advocating that here and elsewhere forever - there's a crucial difference that has to be understood, accepted, and acted upon by all of us concerned. Thank you ~

Agreed, Rickey. Prequel scares the carp out of me.
Sounds fishy to me...
That was funny , you both made me laugh!!!

Thanks for this. Deep thoughts.

Interesting Rickey; I've not read that one yet. Thx
Can also recommend the podcast ULTRA season 1 and 2.
