The focus of our attention should be on the impending authoritarian takeover and the violence occurring in Minneapolis, not on distractions like weather reports or political gaffes. The author emphasizes the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, highlighting the urgent need to support those affected by the government’s actions. The real story involves the masked agents, arrests, violence, and kidnappings happening across the country, which should be the primary focus of all media. To combat this, the author suggests a national strike, acknowledging the difficulties, but emphasizing the importance of staying focused to prevent further spread of the crisis.

America feels like a country on the brink of an authoritarian takeover, and it’s a sentiment that’s resonating deeply, perhaps even more so now that it’s no longer just on the brink, but seemingly well within its grasp. It’s a reality that’s hard to ignore, especially when reports of masked agents executing unarmed individuals in the street surface, and then the government blatantly lies about it. This isn’t just about the future; this is about the present.
This feeling of impending doom isn’t new; it’s been a growing concern for years, with warnings seemingly falling on deaf ears. The writing has been on the wall for a long time, meticulously detailed in public documents, yet many seemed to be caught off guard. Now, to see news outlets acting as if this is some shocking revelation is frustrating. It’s as if they’re reporting on a winter storm *after* the blizzard has already hit.
The question now isn’t whether it’s happening, because it is. The real question is: what are we going to do about it? Waiting for others to save us is a mistake. Congress, the courts, the media, and even the corporations – none of them are likely to mount a meaningful defense. The fight rests with the people, as it always has. It won’t be easy; it will be a disjointed, ugly struggle. But it’s the only chance to save the country as we once knew it.
The signs have been there, at every step along the way. The rampant cynicism, the erosion of truth, the politicization of everything, the obscene wealth inequality, and the fetishization of punishment are all part of the playbook. There’s the partisan takeover of institutions, the weaponization of the law, the cult of personality, the fearmongering, and the constant invocation of emergency powers, all contributing to the dismantling of democracy. And now, the emergence of a partisan federal force, reminiscent of regimes throughout history, adds yet another chilling layer. The recent funding of border security, with its huge budget and nationwide distribution, raises serious concerns about the development of a secret police.
The constant repetition of these steps, each one pushing the boundaries further, has been met with a disappointing lack of widespread outrage. The sense of anger is palpable. How can this be a new realization? This isn’t a slow burn. The fuse has already been lit. The takeover is here, and it’s been here for a while.
The administration’s constant denial of what we see, hear, and experience, coupled with an attempt to dictate how we should think, further erodes trust. Those who question this are branded as traitors. But the truth is undeniable. The moment passed some time ago, perhaps as early as the January 6th events. Anyone paying attention, especially those who were aware of the long-term plans in Project 2025, should have seen this coming.
The reality is that a significant portion of the population is either actively supporting this shift or is indifferent. The remaining segment, however, faces a dangerous, uphill battle to reverse course. The Supreme Leader is talking of no more elections, secret police on the streets killing civilians, plans on invading sovereign nations, flat out telling us not to believe what we are seeing with our own eyes.
The world is watching. It’s been pointed out that the failure of the media, following the Jan 6th events, to forcefully call out anti-democratic actions and instead sanitizing what happened, has added to the problem. Meanwhile, others were distracted by political theater, and the lack of response from the masses, watching it all unfold like cattle led to the slaughterhouse. The response should have been a firestorm, but the fires have yet to ignite.
The current situation isn’t a gradual descent; it’s a completed journey. America has fallen. The hope is that it can still be restored. The measures needed seem drastic: defunding and abolishing problematic institutions, removing those who are complicit, and exposing the truth. The fight is for the soul of the nation. It is domestic terrorism at the hands of our government.
