This has been happening with increasing frequency in Florida neighborhoods and around the country. It has generated a huge amount of horror and outrage, as it should — because this is exactly what happens in all fascist takeovers. Scapegoats are labeled and hate is turned against them. Every time.
But what these flyers lead to is far worse. Imagine getting hundreds of these flyers every day. This video is me simply searching the word “Jew” on Telegram just now.
There is a massive tide of antisemitism and racism that cannot be understood by just noticing what gets thrown in your mailboxes. At the end of the video is a post that leads to “goyim.tv” which is also on the posters in Florida.
Here’s what it leads to — a warehouse of hatred, racism, genocidal antisemitism, holocaust denial and Hitler worship.
Nazism is the one thing we were all supposed to be against. But that’s not true at all.
A large minority of the country and the world really thinks this is what they want again. They have been convinced by cult leaders and dictators that the wrong side lost WWII and that Hitler was right all along. And they think Putin is their way back to a pre-1950s White Wonderland.
This is not a theoretical thing. It’s right in the open. Telegram boasts 70 million users in the US alone and nearly all of them are being exposed to this kind of content every day,. It’s an emergency. #BanTelegram #ArrestMikeFlynn
Maybe it’s time for Biden to take a page out of the Republican playbook. Sign an Executive Order invoking the Insurrection Act! This would give him the power to turn this into an issue of national defense where men like Flynn and other plotters can be held as enemy combatants until the national emergency is over. In addition, a Declaration of Martial law allows the Federal government to coordinate police functions with state and local governments, and override seditious departments when necessary. Biden would have to sell it as an imminent right-wing terror threat to the midterm elections and then haul their asses in while waiving the intelligence and evidence in front of the cameras. By treating them as enemy combatants, it becomes a military issue and not a DOJ issue. That’s my two cents.
Stop the tanking
Greetings Jim:
Earlier on Monday, the cable provider I use, Verizon Fios, mentioned that there had been a dispute between Verizon and Nexstar Media Group over carrying their cable television station News Nation. If you are not familiar with Nexstar, it merged with Tribune Media some years ago and acquired the WGN station. In 2021 because of greater competition and news programming, the name was changed to News Nation. Since then, and starting in late summer, their nightly 8:00 discussion show has been hosted by Chris Cuomo. This while Cuomo is also doing a podcast on YouTube. I have been watching a number of these episodes and have been quite impressed. However, many different people and groups are not all too pleased with any Cuomo getting a chance to let their leadership and experience be known. Now, why is that?
It is this way, I think, due to the Cuomo family being a select few Democrats and intellectuals (including you) that are willing to lead and go after the new fascistic Republican party and its adherents. What differs though is that Chris Cuomo, and Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) have made it clear that the protection and education of the populace is of the utmost importance. In short, the Q/Flynn/Traditionalist acolytes get into a deep panic when a Democrat does not act like they are the Washington Generals facing the Harlem Globetrotters. They refuse to follow the scripts that tell them to roll over and accept nothing in return. And they provide tangibles. The most important thing to provide for any voter.
In short, I am asking for the Nexstar Media Group’s television stations to be reinstated as Verizon Fios. I understand there are alternatives to seeing these programs. Even so, the Cuomo’s happen to be the most trusted and effective domestic leaders we see today. It is time we listen to them again. We do not want to regret in 2 weeks what needs to be done and has not been done to do something valuable for the people of the state and the nation. Reintroducing News Nation is a start to doing things better.
Best Wishes and Kindest Regards,
Robert Kelly
