Things are spinning fast and anyone with sense is justifiably worried about War Secretary Pete "DF" Hegseth's demand that 800 top generals and admirals drop every other duty, in order to fly - expensively - to Quantico, congregating in a single place for an unprecedented 'meeting.'
I'll weigh in about that below... along with some advice for you in such times.... plus maybe half a dozen terms that all of you ought to Google. Tonight. But first...
Ronan Farrow dissects the farthest right groups seeking to bring down every aspect of the nation we've known. The one that I've dealt with for over a decade is the most 'intellectual' - the circle jerk of chain-masturbatory neo-monarchists whose current, disposable guru - Mencius Moldbug Yarvin - pushes the blatantly insane notion that 'democracy has failed', even as such ingrates wallow in a sea of gifts and wonders and good things poured into their laps by the most successful, free, prosperous and rapidly advancing society the world ever saw, by far.
If America is currently in 'crisis' it's not because of some 'failure' or a 'generational turning.' It is for one reason only. The economy, science, jobs... everything except the cost of housing... was doing fine. No, this is a psychic-schism... phase 8 or 9 of a cultural rift - for or against modernity - that goes all the way back to 1778. See Civil War Phases. And the 'crisis' is purely sabotage.
== Fort Sumter did lead (eventually) to Appomattox ==
But back to Farrow's concise list of extreme right clusters. The others he mentions - violent thugs and Book of Revelation fetishists - largely consist of enraged males who feel left-behind by the nerds and good-natured average folks they bullied, back in middle school. A negative sum, sadistic pleasure that they seek to regain by drinking our tears.
And while they are ingrates, like the neo-monarchists, at least one can see a dismally nescient reason for their reflexive wrath.
In contrast, the Yarvinists include very rich and pretentiously well-educated 'preppers' or "accelerationists" who are plotting actively to murder a nation that gave them everything and to trigger an 'Event' that will slaughter at least 90% of the world's population.
That - and no less than that - is how they hope to prove their superiority and to restart the 6000 year feudal era of harems.
Surrounded by flatterers and sycophants, they style themselves as smarties. And some of the techies do have some narrow mental proficiency, though I could demolish their constructs in 5 minutes and offer to do so, with 5% of our net worths on the line.
And hence their cowardly isolation within a circle-jerk of lackeys and fellow ingrates who scheme to wreck us all. A Nuremberg rally from which their rationalizations distill down - effectively - into one crystal clear sound. The sound of a call summoning (eventually) a ride from Uber-Tumbrels.
== We know you ==
And so my few words to them.
We... will...remember... you.
Not just me, but tens of thousands already, with caches ready to spill to millions of wakened others. Your cult will be recalled, after the embers settle. Every one of you who survives and claims a rightful place of lordship or monarchy.
What then comes will not be A CANTICLE FOR LEIBOWITZ. The people will ally with the surviving nerds who know bio, nano, nuclear, cyber and the rest. And who know the schematics of every prepper stronghold. And yes, every name, even those who took pains to remain in shadows. (Want proof?)
We... will...remember... you.
And you will not like us when we're mad.
==========ADDENDA============
Note: Before calling this 'meeting,' DF* Hegseth fired or reassigned most of the JAGs** who advised generals what's legal. JAGs could excuse generals from illegal orders and now they are gone. (Trump also fired most of the Inspectors General in most agencies, who did the same thing on the civilian side. And dang the dems for not protecting them by law, when they had the chance!) Without JAGs, the officers coming to Quantico (at great expense) will be helpless and those who don't come will be - at minimum - fired.
And this after DF and TS have reamed out the counter-terrorism and counter-spy experts and put putative Moscow agents in charge of both. The way that Bush did before 9/11 but far more extensively.
All those scenarios are lurid and likely beyond the capabilities of Dirty Fingers* Pete. But perhaps a coerced "Fuhrer Oath" swearing of loyalty to Dear Leader? Look up ALL of them up and be educated. Be ready!At minimum it is part of the gone-mad right's all-our war vs ALL fact using professions, from science and teaching, medicine and law and civil service to the heroes of the FBI/Intel/Military officer corps who won the Cold War and the War on terror.
Faced with plummeting polls in both Russia and the USA, both Putin and Trump are getting desperate for a Hail Beezelbub play. So get canned goods. Watch harbor cams to see when the Navy puts to sea. If you see San Diego or Norfolk with no carriers in port, alert the rest of us!
---------
* DF = Dirty Fingers because Hegseth has repeatedly and publicly said "I haven't washed my hands in over a decade." Because "Germs are a myth." And TS = Two Scoops, my nickname for a solipsist who insists that: "At dinners everyone gets one scoop of ice cream. Except me. I get two."
JAG = Judge Advocate General. Along with the inspectors and auditors, part of the ten thousand cadre of primly neutral men and women who have kept us a nation of laws. Now look up one more name: Roger Taney, to understand why we'll get no help from the Constitution's bulwark Court.
You have your google assignments, in order to actually see what's going on.
