Moment of silence? How about a moment of silence for the 25,000 women raped in the US armed forces by one or more of their colleagues in the last few years. It comes out to one in ten.
Short memories set the stage so the band can play on. Cheney’s dark power plays are easily forgotten until the knock comes at the door during the night or there’s obvious omissions and paucity of news content.
If both parties are fundamentally anti-democracy, what would the CIA have us do Matt? You have accurately characterized 1/6, but we all knew this from day 1, see the Pro Publica assembly of Parlor videos of 1/6. Real insurrection is perhaps the only way forward. But the American masses are so thoroughly thought controlled at this point that it is virtually impossible, but not entirely. The 1/6 masses were real, even if guided by agent-provocateurs. The only thing that can keep Oligarchic power in check is fear. The only weapon the people have is their numbers.
So is it all controlled opposition Matt, or is there any pocket within Intelligence that would like to see a return to some form of democracy?
I appreciate your commentary yet I think you are a bit blind when you say that Trump has little institutional support. As the self professed leader of the "white" people's party, Trump is the leader of the most fundamental of American institutions, the so called "white" race. Please consider the impact of racial disenfranchisement and the "soft coup" that Adolph Reed discussed on Useful Idiots. The democratic establishment in its own way fosters the racial divide and banks on it but I think there is a solid case to be made for defending access to the ballot, even if we don't have anyone to vote for at the moment.
I like how you are managing to tie some seemingly disparate things without necessarily sounding conspiratorial. If I recall correctly the Wisconsin State Capitol occupation by protesters was never called an insurrection nor a cue, and it was occupied for weeks if not months.

This is a particularly inspired article Matt.
Bringing it home. This is a very insightful point and sadly inevitable.

Home Run Matt. Keep it up.

Sharp, on point & so needed. Thank you
is the 3rd emergency tech?
but I guess, technically, Pres. Trump, at the time, was still the Commander in Chief, ergo, controlling all armed forces
