I’m a retired Seabee, ready to join the resistance. Just give the word chief, and I’ll do whatever needs to be done. CB motto: “Can Do”!

Learning and grasping new ideas is a form of resistance. I’ve been close to you in thought for a long time. At least Americans have you to turn to…Magnificent Malcolm, in this darkest hour. That means more than words could say. Thank you. 🙏

Malcom, I agree with you, there will need to be a second American revolution. Count me in. Feel free to DM me at MLS1 on Bluesky

Putin was ubdoubtedly Congressman Dana Rohrbacher's handler, he obviously managed to get the big prize more recently. The only question is how Putin gives Trunp his marching orders. The dead drop obviously isn't it, I believe Putin's girlfriend Alina Kabaeva used to vacation in the same places as Ivanka Trump before Alina was sanctioned, so there's a possibility.

Good for you calling them what they are. I agree this is going to take a major effort to overcome as the opposition is leaderless. You might have to assume that mantle but not to worry vets will have your back.

I hope they do. We didnt put as many lives on the line and lose them to sustain democracy, just to turn it over to a traitor in the WH.

Agree! Please, folks, sign up right away for your local paper to be delivered to your home. A paper edition will enable you to read the news without an algorithm tracking what you read, and you will preserve the last shred of information from “trusted sources.” Newspapers are dying. We have to help them.

Good advice since people should print anything from the internet before is is shutdown on some invented national emergency.

Yes! Timothy Snyder advocates for the need of a daily newspaper. Good for you~

First, NATO needs to kick the USA out of the organization before it quits of its own accord. That way, should Trump follow through on his threat to annex Greenland (and as ridiculous as that sounds, I think Trump is deadly serious about it), the prospect of activating Article 5 might serve as a deterrent. Second, the EU should put in place an economic boycott of the USA on all fronts. Canada should join in. Yes, it would harm them tremendously, but it would harm the USA more, and sadly we absolutely deserve it. Finally, a well-organized, sustained general strike needs to happen as an advance salvo in establishing USA 2.0. Either the citizenry shuts the country down, or Trump does.

Americans need to get off their butts and into the streets...

The greatest weapon of a Free People has always been NONCOOPERATION. Logic so simple a sixth grader understands: DON'T help people who want to hurt you.

Unfortunately, the majority of Americans operate at a fifth grade level.

The tech Bored Billionaires™ who play politics with American lives for entertainment care more about their profits than their children. Americans must quit helping them amass even more money that will be used to complete the overthrow of the government and then to oppress the people who were stupid enough to keep helping them hoard more wealth. Search "Network States" which is the plan they are carrying out.

There is no formal mechanism for expelling a NATO member, particularly the U.S. who founded NATO. The U.S. could resign from NATO and I am sure Trump is the guy who would pull that trigger.

This is an interesting premise. However, NATO has no mechanism for kicking a member out, if I'm not mistaken. If we had, Turkey would have been a candidate long ago.

Thank you for the information. It's puzzling, since if the USA actually DOES attack Denmark via Greenland, article 5 would not only compel the other members of NATO to confront a fellow member with their military if necessary, but it will compel the US to intervene against itself. A logical paradox on par with "The Liar."

Perhaps the solution is for Europe, Canada, Australia et. al. to "politely" ask the US to leave. I am sure that Darth Realtor would be happy to comply.

I expect we won't "attack" Greenland but will partner with their independence movement (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Greenlandic_general_election) and designate Greenland as an unincorporated or incorporated territory. Something like "We have always loved Greenlanders, and they have always loved Trump. We are giving them what they have always wanted." - King Trump

Malcolm, do not fret. There are many people organizing, and engaging all over the country. I want to say more, but you know the first rule about fight club….

As Churchill said, we will eventually do the right thing after exhausting every other choice.

No need for thanks. We’re just getting started with any luck!

You and James are some of the first I have seen stepping up. And I do thank anyone taking positive action to help save our liberty.

I appreciate your support, but I am just one person. There’s an entire community out there organizing and getting together in solidarity.

We can all do our part and together we can make a difference.

Expand full comment

There is such a community?? I’ve been searching for some organized resistance to the Trumphuk / Muskalini cabal. Any info on this would be appreciated. Beware that Ka$$ Petal as Director of FBI will try to organize Federal Agents to find us and accuse us of treason.

This is WAR against democracy worldwide and we have to go into full up opposition mode.

I don’t want too say much but there’s The Sons of Liberty all over social media, Indivisible, Liberal Gun Owners Club and forum, John Brown Gun Club, Socialist Rifle Association and all kinds of things on Reddit. These people are very public and can help you get involved.

And to anyone following me or sending me messages, I don’t have a Substack and I’m not sure if I will ever. I appreciate your support, and I hope the information above will help.

Thank you for putting this in clear terms for all to see. Please keep messaging along these lines so we can keep blasting out your analysis with a simple yet frightening explanation as to why this crisis is happening and who the primary beneficiary is…and it ain’t the American people!

Having your expert opinion call Trump a Russian asset is the bottom line message we need to get through to people who are sitting back thinking things will work themselves out.

Expand full comment

I agree. We got rid of one mad king. We can get rid of another. As for where all this started. Do you remember Rex Tillerson? Exxon bought the rights to I think 92 million acres of Russian oil deposits but to get it to a global markets they needed Crimea. Trump was part of this deal for which I think he was to get $250 billion. Then of course there are the pee tapes.

Trump a Kremlin asset? If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, and is so vulnerable that it will take cash from anywhere, then it’s likely a Donald Duck…

The guy filed bankruptcy six times, bankrupted a casino - which is hard to do - could not borrow money anywhere, and had more sexual scandals than you can count. It’s not a stretch to think that Trump owes the Russians big time. Even his dumber son publicly stated “we don’t need banks, we have the Russians!!”

The big problem that we have is Donald can never re-pay the debt and the Kremlin understands compound interest. Even Pinocchio broke free from Geptepto - freedom is something Donald will never experience and we are footing the bill.

I was horrified listening to Hegspeth, Rubio, Trump and JD Vance. I thought to myself that it sounded like the opening to WW3. Then I listened to Rick Wilson, and that is what he thought too. Shit. Shit Shit. What NOW? The gaslighting is making me doubt my sanity.

Expand full comment

Me, too (just haven't seen Rick's latest, however)! I'd been involved with the local Democratic Party, and we worked really hard to get Kamala & Tim elected in November. Yet, almost EVERY local Dem lost! People (anti-tRump folks) are so depressed and angry (even towards Democrats). For upcoming Spring 2025 local, "non-partisan" elections (school boards, city councils, township officials, etc.), we're being directed NOT to "waste time" protesting - but to just keep knocking on doors, in order to get Democratic or Democratic-friendly candidates elected, and to keep MAGAts off of school boards, etc. But...it's absolutely NOT "business as usual!" There may not be future elections (or they won't matter).

This is from Mick Ryan, retired Australian general - The post-Cold War generation, seduced by the economic growth and increased globalisation, have come to believe that large-scale war is not possible in the 21st century. There has been a marked declinein the study of military history and war more generally in higher education institutions. But good strategy always assumes war is possible.

Trump is ignorant of history as we all know. You wrote his in advance. This will be the one time Trump knew something about history as in what his own will be. Traitor. Enabler of mass murder. Failed attempt at dictatorship. Putin’s swing and a miss. We hope. Can we rely on his intrinsic cowardice? We just need a few major economic forces to stand up to him. EU, Canada, Mexico. All at once. He will flail.

Bravo Malcolm. Ordering at my bookstore, hope there are a few left.
