An excellent read.
My quick take:
Don't prepare for conflict. Prepare to vote.
The fragility of the US is the oligarchs' greed. The best way to strike, is to show up to work and put your hands in your pockets.
**Figuratively speaking** you don't have to fight "it." Just don't feed it.

Today, of all days, PLEASE take a few minutes to read the dozens of reasons martial law will NEVER work in the U.S.
Explained in detail by a former DOD employee who worked extensively on the military occupation in Afghanistan.

In my second decade of addiction recovery I'm here to say, if the US funded Addiction Services at the same level we throw bombs, we wouldn't be a market for what the bad guys are selling. And we wouldn't need the bombs either.
Maybe we could feed a lot of kids with the money we'd save.

I was a child, home from school, coloring on the floor in front of the TV when the show went off. I called out to my Mom.
She rushed into the living room and I saw a light in her eyes go out.
It took another Naval Officer, Mr. Carter to spark light in my own.
How far and fast we fell since.

Sixty-two years ago today, November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. He was shot while riding in an open-top car and died later at Parkland Hospital. The event, which occurred at 12:30 p.m. CST, was a moment of national tragedy.
