It’s time to put an end to this. It’s time to say NO.

We the people have put up with a lot for a long time. We let this go too far. Oh, this goes back long before Trump. This sick sh!tshow is long running.

I remember when we had a “debate” about whether torture was acceptable. The outcome? Yes, but when the American government does it, we can’t call it torture.

We should have thrown the vicious cruel assholes into jail right then and there. But we didn’t. So here we are.

Now, we have billionaires who rape children heading the government—the rapist-in-chief. He’s protecting himself and other rapist billionaires, because they are wealthy donors to the party. They have purchased the government, and the media.

Literally.

That’s why our tax dollars are being re-directed from services to The People and are now being given to our exploiters. They are literally using our tax dollars to cover up rape, and to fund a war against We The People.

We are paying to have armed thugs—terrorists—come into our neighborhoods committing assault, kidnapping and shipping us to concentration camps for torture.

Oh, but we can’t call it torture, can we?

F-ck this and f-ck them.

Who’s angry enough to withdraw support for all of this and bring these criminals to JUSTICE? Who’s ready to jail the rapist-in-chief, all of his accomplices and enablers, and dismantle the systems that enable these crimes against humanity?

There was justice at Nuremberg. There were long prison sentences and hangings. That should apply here. Only there’s nobody to enforce justice. The criminals are running everything. The only meaningful opposition—if there is to be meaningful opposition—is US.

Don’t Listen and Don’t Cooperate. Speak Out and Boldly Withhold.

The criminals and their mouthpieces never shut up. They decide what gets talked about. They dominate the conversation. Because—up to now—we let them get away with it.

We can make it impossible for them to continue. We can take control of OUR country and OUR lives. We aren’t here to serve OUR EMPLOYEES. The American idea is that the government is required to serve us. They are public servants.

They’ve failed. They are insubordinate and disobedient. Nobody will take them to the woodshed, but us.

But we have to be willing to do it, to meet the challenge.

I’m ready. I’m too furious to be afraid. How about you?

Well, I won’t be the bad guy. I won’t behave like them. I don’t recognize their laws or rules, but I recognize and I am guided by moral law.

WE know right from wrong. But our opponents think that whatever they can get away with goes.

Which will it be? If we do nothing, if we wait for other people or events to save us, we empower the criminals to continue—potentially forever. Or until they destroy the planet…which is coming quickly.

Here’s what we need to do.

1. 1. Tune out. And announce we are tuning out. We aren’t listening to politicians or corporate media. Even “good” politicians. Because the system is rotten to the core and will never allow reform from within. The entire system is built on greed and power lust. Don’t listen. Don’t let them decide what’s worthy of our attention. From now on, We The People decide what’s important and the sane, caring people talk only to each other.
   2. Opt out. The big secret is that WE are powerful because those who are “in-charge” don’t do anything; they are 100% dependent on the do-ers. On us. True, they do have a bunch of people fooled, but history shows that as little as 3.5% of the population—if determined to end things—can. (Actually, even smaller groups have carried out successful nonviolent revolutions.) At whatever level you are comfortable—from simply repeatedly speaking out boldly and sharply, to withholding taxes and labor—RESIST. Encourage others to do what they can. THIS needs to be the new norm. Every one of us who cares can make a critical contribution. Numbers matter.
   3. Vision. Discuss what we want instead. We don’t want to simply end fascism and restore plutocracy. We want a society built on the best human values—love, cooperation, generosity. And also curiosity, play, storytelling, imagination, wonder. We need to END servitude—that is all paid work—and only produce what people need for decent lives. Mostly food, medicine, shelter, clothing and whatever else is TRULY necessary. Because everything we produce costs us in TIME (which is LIFE) and damage to the Earth. We want more LIFE and are willing to have less stuff to get it. And in the new society there will be NO WORKING for employers, no profits and probably no money. Money is an invention primarily used as a “store of value” giving power and wealth to greedy selfish people who produce NOTHING.

We CAN do this. We have begun to do this. But the vision is important. We must talk about it, make it part of the narrative. Because if we don’t have a plan for what happens after we rid ourselves of the current dictator, we will simply end up with a new one.
