democracy. we remember that it s not at all how things work and many other places or ever have. they don t have representatives. in most places and times, if you wanted to take over a country, first you had to control its military. the guys with guns. the army is essential for political control. government dictates have no meaning without the credible threat of force to back them up. guns are two laws is what gold is to paper currency. value and strength in a democratic system. the military serves to protect the entire population no matter who they voted for. that s what democracy is. in an authoritarian system of the armies the enforcement apparatus of a specific political party. that s the difference between the two systems. it s worth remember and that given what we are seeing happen all around the world right now. the german defense ministry recently announced its dismantling its best to train special operations unit. dozens of operators have recently been fired. none hav
that our democracy is fake. elections and domestic politics are just a sideshow no matter who you vote for in the end, the same people still run everything peer that is a pretty dark understanding of the american system. if you are a normal person who grew up here it is the last thing you want to believe about your own country. it seems crazy. then you read stories like this one. according to reporting this summer in the days after last november s election, the chairman of the joint chiefs of scratch held a meeting with senior military officials at the pentagon. general millie wanted to inform them of what he described as a serious threat to national security. a threat so grave it impaled the stability of the republic. that threat, millie said, was the sitting president of the united states. donald trump question to the election. for this, force against the u.s. president. where the guys with guns, millie said. apparently he had been preparing for this moment. he had conve
new role. joe biden told osha to stop hiding information from the public, to promote the covid vaccine untilti the summer, osha required employees to retain records of any workers who suffered a serious side effect of the vaccine. then in june, osha s guidance suddenly changed to this osha will not enforce recording requirements that require any employers to record what the side effects from covid-19 vaccinations. that was a major change. especially since we are still learning so much about these vaccines and their possible side effects. just hours ago, for example, the telegraph reported that teenage boys are six times more likely to suffer from problems from the vaccines then being hospitalized from covid-19. in israel 80% of adults arere vaccinated, covid cases are spiking. israel has one of the world s highest daily infection rates. so let s explain that. in his remarks to the nation, joe biden didn t answer that. instead, he put osha at the same agency that has been
this fact was historic and it was highly thrilling. kate brown s sex life was shattering ceilings. woo-hoo. and if you look at the post you noticed something a little bit weird, actually kate brown was married to a man. guess he had a different last name, but he was still as they say on tiktok binary. he was a dude. that s fine, of course, but a little bit confusing, how does having her groom at her wedding mate kate brown and official member of the lgbtq they were wondering why we don t call barack obama half white which he is, it s not part of the question, celebrate! so voters in oregon dutifully celebrated, and out from under them the world changed. suddenly things in america went from flaccid to highly turbulent. especially true in oregon when it was fighting left-wing militia for more than a year. the biggest city was destroyed, people died. and then a virus arrived from china and it killed thousands. it was a very serious moment, unfortunately oregon did not have a v
if there s no joy in watching any of that, it couldis be any f us someday and probably will be. it s not joe biden s fault he can think clearly, it s an indictment of people around him. in the months since his election his s family knew that he was in profound cognitive decline. they were worried about it andy told other people they werehi worried about it which is how we know. but they did nothing to stop d biden from running for president and neither did run claims. so there s mike donlan and gene sperling and susan rice and the rest of the people making decisions in this country very much occluding barack obama. they all know. these are hard and cynical and clear-eyed people and they worked with joe biden for many years and not one of them has any doubt that joe biden is feeling and now that s obvious to the rest of the country. anyone who has been paying attention or already caught onto this, of course. but until recently it didn t seem to matter a whole lot, you stop bid
