Jim, you are one of my main trusted sources of information, at least until you or the platform cancels me! Or, until the Substack algorithm is caught editing your posts like xitter... I do expect that to happen at some point, so I hope you have a way to verify what you post here is what we all see! We should assume all tech belongs to the enemy through backdoors and well-placed traitors. Jim, maybe you need a printing press for backup.

Another great, perceptive article, thanks Jim. So important - truth, how we arrive at it and what these jackasses are doing to that absolutely essential pursuit. I had no idea Musk has started altering what people are saying on X, eliminating slang. Unfrickingbelievable. What a totalitarian ass. I loved how you broke down that Trump video...and how, according to him it's Adam Schiff and Hilary Clinton's fault that bombs are falling on innocent Ukrainian civilians. That's exactly what Trump was saying. That is how insane things have gotten. People worship THAT guy. One thing I wonder about is *to what extent* are Democrats in Congress complicit in what is happening? It's most likely something that we can only determine on a case by case basis and may be based on if they're being compensated to do so, but I just really wonder about this. How corrupt, or maybe not at all, are they? Again, it's probably case by case. I'd love to hear your thoughts or your knowledge about this.

Is it possible that Alexander Dugin is right about D.C. being run by the Epstein Party? The fascists do like to brag about their victories, such as Trump saying pre-election that "I have the votes" when he likely never did.

I will write more on this database also from research. Thanks Jim for your work.

I heard today that (in some states? countries?) people are being urged to delete their online photo collections (and presumably other blocks of content) so that more power and space is available for “data centers.” Weird but thats what was stated. Perhaps a darker reason for this madness is the removal of sources of “previous truth” like people’s photos of museum exhibits. 🙁

Had it not been for Thom Hartmann, Jim, I never would have been able to receive the brilliant work you're doing. I give thanks, and will reStack ASAP 💯👍

If any of you believe that fascism is defeated by merely writing postcards and making phone calls, you are already entertaining the idea of surrender. No authoritarian regime in history has been ousted by mocking memes and witty protest signs.

America is fully under siege from a domestic threat. MAGA, SCOTUS, Trump and the entire Republican regime are engaged in the second civil war, while most Democrats are still worried about colouring within the lines.

Citizens urgently need to get organized and form an effective resistance. Strikes are the next logical step, combined with boycotts and any other creative idea that will slow the enemies economical ammo to a trickle.

Whether you want to face it or not, it will take a full blown revolution to salvage democracy for future generations. There will be sacrifices. There will be costs. Blood will spill.

You have to decide. Will you cower in fear and surrender your childrens’ future freedom? Or will you stand proud and demand justice and expel the cruel and corrupt tyrants determined to enslave America?

The clock is ticking at an accelerated pace.

I just can’t imagine strikes on any effective level in USA. I have no faith in that regard. I live in the reddest of states. Yes, we have regular protests, but the counterprotestors are loud and many. And I feel certain that the vast majority of folks simply have no earthly idea what is going down. They fly their flags and display their crosses and watch Fox. That’s it.

I doubt America will remain intact, if red states don't soon realize the extent of the betrayal being orchestrated on ALL citizens.

I reposted a heartfelt video message from an elderly black woman this morning. Her message was simple but precise. Anybody who doesn't want to make waves by resisting, because they are comfortable and want to keep what they have, is making a grave mistake. If you allow authoritarian rule, a dictator, a king, or a basically communist regime to seize and maintain control, you won't have or own anything anyways. The state will own your land, your possessions and you.

As I wrote, "Once the pincer snaps shut, there’s no reopening it. The time to demand accountability is before that happens — because silence now will be the sound of the trap locking in place."

Your article consumed my first coffee hour at 4:00 am this morning, but it was worth every minute. It was extremely informative, in explaining the ideological and financial web that brought us to our current situation. We are seeing the results of a decades-long campaign to activate a modern day Crusade.

That Democratic leaders and legacy media sat back and let this plot come to fruition is a disgrace. Their inaction strongly suggests a degree of complicity.

As thoroughly as you reveal the deception and end game of the Christian Zealots supporting the malleable and morally bankrupt Trump, there are even more factions aligned to destroy democracy.

The Neo Nazi organizations and the Billionaire elitists share none of the religious fervour predominant in Project 2025, yet those groups see enough of their own selfish interests being achieved by supporting authoritarian rule.

They are all united in support of a tyrant traitor President, who would sell out anyone and anything for his obsessions of power and greed.

The American public needs to be shown that they are being duped on all sides of the equation. Ethical journalists need to be honest and clearly state that we have reached the inflection point of fight or flight.

Thank you, John. I'm glad you took the time to read it. You’re right: this is decades in the making. The Pincer Movement shows how ideology, money, and power converge in Project 2025 to dismantle democracy—and we’ve got the receipts to prove it. Silence now isn’t neutrality; it’s complicity.

I get so frustrated when I read an optimistic comment about the midterm elections. I was just talking to my therapist (OT) yesterday and I remember telling her this is the calm before the storm. On my way home, I started chatting with an older disabled gentleman on the max (light rail) and he vociferously told me exactly what he thought of trump. Left me with a smile.

Looking at the “auto translated by Grok” version of your post on X is really eye opening. You are the first person I’m aware of to have reported that Musk is doing this. I am not on X and personally don’t think any sane person should remain there based on this (new to me) knowledge.

As for the larger picture you describe, I pray people like Heather Cox Richardson and Bandy Lee remain free to write about what’s happening from their factual reality based perspectives.
