Violence as a political tool
Violence as a political tool Terrorism is a political weapon Despite the religious claims of some terrorist groups, what all terrorists seek is to force a political change on the nations they try to terrorise. Terrorism is another political tool, one used mostly (but not exclusively) by non democratic governments and non democratic groups, wishing to overthrow a democracy. If the advocates of direct action and physical violence could engage in the democratic process and gain a majority they would not need to destroy life and property. They know they can never peacefully persuade a majority and so they seek to force change by violence. Violence is the tool of those who have lost the argument. Violence has the short term aim of providing localised dominance and the longer term aim of provoking fear. Fear of violence is more effective, politically, than the localised short term physical effects of actual violence. Fear can affect huge numbers of people spread over large areas, fear can influence attitudes as well as actions.
Peter RosePublished 3 years ago in The SwampWelcome to Trumplandia
Hey, Donny boy, I’ve had an epiphany. In case you don’t know what that means, I’ll ex— … never mind. Let me just simply say that I have had an idea I would like to share with you. Go away, never come back, and in exchange, you get to become king of Trumlandia. Sound too good to be true? Not in the least, but there are a few caveats you may want to have your best lawyers review. Do you have any left, or are they all in prison? Oh wait, you pardoned them, so they are totally trustworthy!

Pray For America
I saw this "statement" on a billboard that I passed at 2:20 AM on Halloween morning. As soon as I read it I giggled and immediately thought "Wow girl, You're fucked up." Truth be told.. That I am. Along with millions and millions of other Human Beings who like to call themselves "Americans" Does anybody really know the actual meaning of what it means to be an American? Yes is the answer. I would hope so. Gosh...
Back in 2020
Sitting in my car waiting to take my test for COVID-19, I caught myself dozing off into Michelle’s world and decided to take a picture of me wearing my mask. Before we can any deeper into this blog I do want to warn you for foul language.
Dear MR. President
I address you as MR. President because you deserve the respect of being called so. I have been embarrassed and disenchanted with the lack of respect the American media, politicians, and many of my fellow American's have presented since you took office. Never in my memory have I ever been witness to the President of the United States of America continually being addressed or referred to by his given name "Trump", "MR. Trump", "Donald" as you have. It's insulting and passive aggressive behavior to minimize and humiliate you. Since day one I have been witness to continual mocking, slandering and skewing of every move you made so to discredit your achievements while in office and I apologize for this. I find it ironic that after the 2020 election suddenly your referenced as MR. President in all most every media venue or post I see or hear.

If you picked the wrong name out of the Secret Santa drawing this year and are stuck scrambling for a gift for someone you’d sooner give the finger to than a present, have no fear, we have you covered.

Sustainability is not an add on but absolutely fundamental for business and economic growth, Many Pacific island nations face infrastructure and housing emergencies due to massive deficits, high urbanization, and increasing populations. Many communities also lack systems and do not know how to properly maintain infrastructure and homes.

We have been operating our government contrary to its design... & very obviously it isn’t working. Much good has come from the last 4 years, (I am not here to argue that today) but the best that’s come from the latest “Revolution” in our country... the average, ordinary Americans have become much more educated about our Constitution, how our gov't is to work for the citizens, the SWAMP in every community across the country is being exposed, & citizens are taking action to resume their position as rightful owner of this government & it's operation. When the people fear government there is tyranny, & that Woman in Lansing has been counting on just that reality... when the gov't fears it's citizens there is freedom.
