PICTURES FROM THE JAN, 6, 2021 ATTACK ON THE WHITE HOUSE. HERE IS A SAMPLE

OF THE "AMERICANS" THAT TRUMP AND THE RUSS-PUBLICAN PARTY COUNT ON TO 

KEEP THEM IN POWER.



BLAST FROM THE PAST.

HERE IS PART OF THE STORY OF THE 2016 ELECTION,

THE YEAR THE U.S. PLACED AN INCOMPETENT DEMAGOGUE

IN THE WHITE HOUSE. IT IS ALSO THE STORY OF A RIGGED ELECTION

THAT WAS ALLOWED TO STAND, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS DIRECT

EVIDENCE OF BOGUS RETURNS IN A NUMBER OF STATES.

As you go through the MUELLER REPORT, there is one very important detail that must be acknowledged: IT IS THE STORY OF TWO INVESTIGATIONS. Why do I say this? BECAUSE CONCLUSIONS DRAWN WERE NOT ARRIVED AT BY THE SAME PROCESS,WITH JUST ONE AGENCY, DEPARTMENT OR INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBLE FOR EVALUATING EACH EVENT, AND THE VALUE OF THE CORRESPONDING EVIDENCE.


WHAT DO I MEAN? CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING EXCERPTS, TAKEN 
DIRECTLY FROM THE TEXT. (IN ITALICS)

The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion. Evidence of Russian government operations began to surface in mid-2016. 

As set forth in detail in this report, the Special Counsel's investigation established that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election principally through two operations.


First, a Russian entity carried out a social media campaign that favored presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaged presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. 

RUSSIAN SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN. 

(HERE ARE SOME EXCERPTS FROM THE BODY OF THE TEXT.)

Internet Research Agency (IRA) carried out the earliest Russian interference operations identified by the investigation. A social media campaign designed to provoke and amplify political and social discord in the United States.

- The IRA was based in St. Petersburg, Russia, and received funding from Russian oligarch Yevgeniy Prigozhin and companies he controlled. Pri ozhin is widely reported to have ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. HARM TO ONGOING MATTER.

- The campaign evolved from a generalized program designed in 2014 and 2015 to undermine the U.S. electoral system, to a targeted operation that by early 2016 favored candidate Trump and disparaged candidate Clinton. 


- The IRA later used social media accounts and interest groups to sow discord in the U.S. political system through what it termed "information warfare." 


 The IRA' s operation also included the purchase of political advertisements on social media in the names of U.S. persons and entities, as well as the staging of political rallies inside the United States. To organize those rallies, IRA employees posed as U.S. grassroots entities and persons and made contact with Trump supporters and Trump Campaign officials in the United States. 
-


Second, a Russian intelligence service conducted computer-intrusion operations against entities, employees, and volunteers working on the Clinton Campaign and then released the stolen documents. 


RUSSIAN HACKING OPERATIONS. 
(HERE ARE SOME EXCERPTS FROM THE BODY OF THE TEXT.)

At the same time that the IRA operation began to focus ·on supporting candidate Trump in early 2016, the Russian government employed a second form of interference: cyber intrusions (hacking) and releases of hacked materials damaging to the Clinton Campaign. The Russian intelligence service known as the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Army (GRU) carried out these operations. In March 2016, the GRU began hacking the email accounts of Clinton Campaign. 


In March 2016, the GRU began hacking the email accounts of Clinton Campaign volunteers and employees....the GRU hacked into the computer networks of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and the Democratic National Committee (DNC). The GRU stole hundreds of thousands of documents from the compromised email accounts and networks. Around the time that the DNC announced in mid-June 2016 the Russian government's role in hacking its network, the GRU began disseminating stolen materials through the fictitious online personas "DCLeaks" and "Guccifer 2.0." The GRU later released additional materials through the organization WikiLeaks. 

The presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump ("Trump Campaign" or "Campaign") showed interest in WikiLeaks' s releases of documents and welcomed their Potential to damage candidate Clinton. Beginning in June 2016, HARM TO ONGOING MATTER forecast to senior Campaign officials that WikiLeaks would release information damaging to candidate Clinton. WikiLeaks' s first release came in July 2016. 




Now, the Investigation into the above 2 categories provided enough evidence to the committee that
made them confident in drawing definite conclusions, and in some cases, filing Criminal Charges. I will cover these in more depth at a later time, but there is one more category to cover. What you read below may seem to be a part of the RUSSIAN HACKING OPERATION...

...BUT THERE IS ONE MAJOR DIFFERENCE.


EXCERPTS FROM THE BODY OF THE TEXT.

In addition to targeting individuals involved in the Clinton Campaign, GRU officers also targeted individuals and entities involved in the administration of the elections. Victims included U.S. state and local entities, such as state boards of elections (SBOEs), secretaries of state, and county governments, as well as individuals who worked for those entities. 186 The GRU also targeted private technology firms responsible for manufacturing and administering election-related software and hardware, such as voter registration software and electronic polling stations.187 The GRU continued to target these victims through the elections in November 2016. While the investigation identified evidence that the GRU targeted these individuals and entities, the Office did not investigate further. The Office did not, for instance, obtain or examine servers or other relevant items belonging to these victims. The Office understands that the FBI, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the states have separately investigated that activity. 

By at least the summer of 2016, GRU officers sought access to state and local computer networks by exploiting known software vulnerabilities on websites of state and local governmental entities. GRU officers, for example, targeted state and local databases of registered voters using a technique known as "SQL injection," by which malicious code was sent to the state or local website in order to run commands (such as exfiltrating the database contents). 188 In one instance in approximately June 2016, the GRU compromised the computer network of the Illinois State Board of Elections by exploiting a vulnerability in the SBOE's website. The GRU then gained access to a database containing information on millions of registered Illinois voters, 189 and extracted data related to thousands of U.S. voters before the malicious activity was identified.


GRU officers INVESTIGATIVE TECHNIQUE scanned state and local websites for vunerabilities. For example, over a two day period in july 2016, GRU OFFICERS INVESTIGATVE TECHNIQUE
for vulnerabilities on websites of two dozen states. INVESTIGATIVE TECHNIQUE.

Unit 74455 also sent spearphishing emails to public officials involved in election

administration and personnel at companies involved in voting technology. In August 2016, GRU officers targeted employees of **** ,a voting technology company that developed software used by numerous U.S. counties to manage voter rolls, and installed malware on the company network. Similarly, in November 2016, the GRU sent spearphishing emails to over 120 email accounts used by Florida county officials responsible for administering the 2016 U.S. election. 191 The spearphishing emails contained an attached Word document coded with malicious software (commonly referred to as a Trojan) that permitted the GRU to access the infected computer.192 The FBI was separately responsible for this investigation. We understand the FBI believes that this operation enabled the GRU to gain access to the network of at least one Florida county government. The Office did not independently verify that belief and, as explained above, did not undertake the investigative steps that would have been necessary to do so.



The Hacking operations that included the following:

- Individuals and entities involved in the administration of the elections.


- U.S. state and local entities, such as state boards of elections (SBOEs), secretaries of state, and county governments, as well 

as individuals who worked for those entities.

- Private technology firms responsible for manufacturing and administering election-related software and hardware, such 

as voter registration software and electronic polling stations.

- Employees of **** ,a voting technology company that developed software used by numerous U.S. counties to manage voter rolls, and installed malware on the company network. 


- Florida county officials responsible for administering the 2016 U.S. election...


WERE NOT EVALUATED, IN TERMS OF THE QUALITY OF THE EVIDENCE, BY THE OFFICE OF THE SPECIAL COUNSEL.


FROM THE TEXT:
While the investigation identified evidence that the GRU targeted these individuals and entitiesthe Office did not investigate further. The Office did not, for instance, obtain or examine servers or other relevant items belonging to these victims. The Office understands that the FBI, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the states have separately investigated that activity. 


The Office did not independently verify that belief and, as explained above, did not undertake the investigative steps that would have been necessary to do so.


WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? WHILE THE OFFICE OF THE SPECIAL COUNSEL IDENTIFIED EVIDENCE THAT THE GRU"TARGETED THESE INDIVIDUALS AND ENTITIES", NO FURTHER INVESTIGATION WAS DONE.

WHY?

"The Office understands that the FBI, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the states have separately investigated that activity."


"The Office did not independently verify that belief and, as explained above, did not undertake the investigative steps that would have been necessary to do so."


Well this answers the question: "Who is exonerated by the Mueller Report?"
ANSWER: NO ONE. The Evaluation of the
most important information regarding fraud in 
the 2016 election was not part of their 
responsibility. They couldn't exonerate anyone
even if they wanted to. 

TO BE CONTINUED...

Contagious Courage vs. Capitulation Caucus. INDIVISIBLE.

 KEEP IN MIND THAT THE BELOW ARTICLE DOES NOT ADDRESS THE EVIDENCE OF TRUMP STEALING ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. REMEMBER, WE HAVE A PARTY OF TREASON AND CORRUPTION, (FASCIST PARTY OF AMERICA/GOP), AND ONE OF USELESS LEADERSHIP WHO CARES NOTHING FOR PROTECTING OUR COUNTRIES ELECTIONS. THAT WOULD TAKE INTELLECTUAL AND MORAL COURAGE. (DEMOCRATS).

***********************************************************************************************************************************

David,

Welcome to 2025 (for better or worse). Hey, at least we’re here together! Things are about to get chaotic with the new GOP congress just sworn in and the inauguration just around the corner. So I want to start the year with this reminder: While MAGA controls the federal government, their coalition is fragile, their leaders are malevolent muppets, and their agenda is deeply unpopular -- and we still live in a representative democracy that depends on the consent of the governed. Democracy is undeniably diminished, but MAGA is not all powerful. We can save lives, prevent damage, slow their assault, and ultimately fracture their coalition while building our own. 

That doesn’t mean we’ll all be ok. But it does mean we have something to hope for and work toward. I’d like to talk about those hopes and that work in this movement of ours.

The Summary:

The News: What’s clear is that a healthy segment of elite society is greeting Trump 2.0 with open arms. From media institutions, to corporations, to wayward elected Democrats with their tails tucked between their legs -- the capitulation caucus has been growing. But on the ground, I see a wave of courageous opposition building -- and we need this to win.

The Brag: Let’s shine some love on the hundreds of new Indivisible groups that have formed in the past few weeks! Welcome newcomers to the movement! And also, I want to be sure y’all catch Leah on Chris Hayes’ podcast this coming Tuesday -- listen here when it drops

The Discussion: This month is going to be chaotic with the new MAGA congress and inauguration, so every remaining Thursday in January, Leah and I will be hosting a live discussion. For this week, we’ll focus on this nascent, maliciously incompetent congress that will attempt to legislate for the next two years. Register and send us a question here.

The News: Combating the capitulation caucus

A lot of people have been taking a break from the news these past couple months. And for good reason: A lot of the news is depressing, with a sense of impending doom. If you’ve been watching, you’ve probably seen elite actors from the business world, nonprofit institutions, mainstream media, and politicians rush to protect themselves from a coming, vengeful Trump administration. Rather than steel themselves in preparation for a fight, these elite figures are joining what I’ve been calling the “Capitulation Caucus.” Across several realms, elites in positions of power are signaling that while they may have had raised alarms before, now that Trump 2.0 is inevitable, they’re happy to go along to get along. A few examples:

Our fellow democratic compatriot Marc Elias wrote more extensively on capitulation here, which I’d recommend reading in whole. But here’s the killer quote: “There is no segment of civil society that has been untouched by this capitulation. Some in positions of great power are preemptively acting powerless. Too many with the loudest microphones are turning them down. Most disturbing, those with the greatest wealth are acting like they are the poorest and most vulnerable.” 

An alternative to capitulation: courage. 

I want to be clear: showing up for immigrants and trans kids, fighting back against cuts to Social Security, and calling out kleptocratic giveaways to corrupt billionaires are all the morally right things to do. You’ll get to tell your grandkids about how you fought in this moment. But you don’t have to be a bleeding heart liberal to adopt this strategy. You can be the most heartlessly cynical Democratic operative and see that the Democrats’ path to retaking federal power depends on them banding together to make a unified case against the Project 2025 agenda.  

After all, it was our unified posture between 2017-2018 that saved countless lives by protecting the Affordable Care Act, defeated some of the worst attacks on immigrants and refugees, and won us back the House with the largest midterm margins in the history of our republic. 

The good news is courage is contagious. And there’s a serious case of courage spreading fast across the country.

The week after the election, our release of Indivisible: A Practical Guide to Democracy on the Brink drew over 40,000 people. That’s the single largest call Indivisible has ever hosted on our own -- even including the halcyon days of 2017 when protest was “the new brunch.”

In the weeks since the new Indivisible guide release, I’ve kicked off three separate meetings with about 1,500 new Indivisible leaders who joined to learn how to start a new local Indivisible group. And since the election, 200 new local Indivisible groups have officially formed and registered so far -- literally the biggest jump in group numbers we’ve seen since 2017.

And when Leah or I have joined local or statewide Indivisible calls in the last two months -- from Indivisible Colorado to Michigan, from Florida to New Jersey -- the thing we hear over and over again from group leaders is that they are seeing tons of growth and new energy. The people who were organizing already are still in it, the people who stepped back in recent years are re-joining, the people who got activated in the Harris campaign wave are now organizing locally…you get the idea.

In this moment, I’m reminded of one of my favorite quotes about how politics in a representative democracy works. Leah and I liked it so much we included it both in the original Indivisible guide and the new one. It’s from an 18th century French politician: “There go the people. I must follow them, for I am their leader.”

Here’s my prediction: In the weeks to come, a lot of electeds and other elites are going to see rising backlash and opposition to the chaos, cruelty, and corruption that’s coming. And they’re going to shift course. They’re going to follow us, because they are our leaders.

The Discussion: How to make friends and influence democracy

I’m down to keep writing these newsletters, but a new year is a good excuse to do a check-in on what’s working, what’s not, and what you’d like to see more or less of. Maybe long-winded newsletters like this one (sorry) work for you. Or maybe we should do something else. I’m all ears.

So in the spirit of experimentation, learning, and growth, can I invite you to a chat? Or several? I know this is going to be a chaotic month with a ton of political developments, and I’d like to create a space where we can reflect back, provide some analysis, and foster real discussion across the movement on how we can best organize, message, and strategically engage wherever we are. 

With that goal in mind, Leah and I will be holding a weekly discussion every Thursday in January at 3pm ET / noon PT. That’s 1/9, 1/16, 1/23, and 1/30. We’ll open with some reflections on news of the day, but mostly we’ll be taking in your questions -- which you can send ahead of time or ask live. We can’t get to everything in these chats, but we can cover a lot of ground. 

So please join us for the first one this Thursday. We’ll cover news of the week, the early signs of chaos from the newly convened GOP congress, and how we’re bracing for impact ahead of inauguration. Hope to see you there! You can register and submit questions here for the next one.

The Brag: Movement growth + Leah on Chris Hayes’ podcast this week!

I’ve already bragged a lot about the surge in Indivisible movement growth these past two months. 200 new groups all over the country! In a world of AI-generated nonsense and inflated marketing statistics, it can be tough to really see through BS and get a sense for what’s real. Well, this is real. Let me give you a sense of what we’re seeing:

  • Colorado Native Indivisible (Colorado)
  • Indivisible Cincinnati (Ohio)
  • Jefferson Area Indivisible (Missouri)
  • Indivisible Missoula (Montana)
  • Indivisible Hilo One (Hawaii)
  • Indivisible Pinoy Blues (California)
  • Indivisible Dallas (Texas)
  • Indivisible Lincoln County (Maine)
  • Indivisible Honeoye Falls -- Mendon (New York)
  • Big Horn County Indivisible (Wyoming)
  • Silver Spring Progressive Action (Maryland)

If you’ve just started a group -- welcome! If you’re in an existing group and seeing a surge of membership, awesome! If you’d like Leah or I to join an upcoming meeting, let your local Indivisible organizer know -- we’re talking to a lot of Indivisible groups these days and love doing it. But don’t wait for us. Get to organizing. 

If you’re looking for an immediate next action item, we’re working with locals nationwide to spend MLK Day (aka inauguration day) as a local day of community service. What better way to begin our defiance of an overreacting MAGA assault on our communities than digging in deep with our communities? If you’re interested in coordinating on that, see our resources here.

But one of the other things I get to do as co-ED is brag on my fellow co-ED and spouse, Leah. I took the kids out to burgers last week while Leah sat down with Chris Hayes to talk about the new Indivisible guide and where we go from here. You can catch their conversation on his podcast here when it comes out on Tuesday -- please listen and share!

Thank you for looking at 2025 square in the face and deciding to do something about it. We’re with you, and so are thousands of new Indivisible leaders around the country. 

In solidarity,
Ezra

TRUMPS "GREATEST HITS." A LOOK BACK AT 8 YEARS OF TREASON, SOCIOPATHY, AND ANTI-INTELLECTUAL MINDLESSNESS. VOLUME 3.

"A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS." WITH DONALD TRUMP, IT COULD BE WORTH THE FATE OF FREE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. (UPDATE)

When I first published this post, the gesture used by Trump reminded me of something from the history books. Well, further research has revealed the following:

The ADL, (ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE), LISTS THE SAME GESTURE AS THE "ARYAN FIST."  IT IS A WHITE SUPREMACIST SYMBOL USED TODAY.


So, is the Gesture used for Communist/Fascist Symbolism, White Supremacist Symbolism, or perhaps both? 

I'll take Door #3.

Below is the original post.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

These are just a few examples, but they represent a common gesture that Trump uses in public appearances. I kept asking myself: Where have I seen this before?

                                                                           CNBC
Julia Nikhinson/AP
                                                                  THE GUARDIAN.
                                                                  MOTHER JONES.

Here is what I found.





To make a long story short, I went to PIXABAY.COM and typed in the following Category:

COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA IMAGES.

WHICH TOOK ME TO THE FOLLOWING:

There you have it. I assume this could be of value to those who can still think for themselves.

FETTERMAN SIGNALS HE IS TRUMPIAN FASCIST AT HEART. (UPDATE)

 


Democratic Sen. Fetterman: ‘I’m not rooting against’ Trump:

Following  Quotes taken from an ABC NEWS ARTICLE, followed by my commentary.

"If you're rooting against the president, you are rooting against the nation," Fetterman told ABC "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl. "So country first. I know that's become maybe like a cliche, but it happens to be true."

ANSWER- Sure, if you're rooting against Trumps;

- Pro Super Rich Tax Plan.

- Anti-Women Medical Policies.

- Pro Gun Lobby desire for more 

assault weapons.

- Homophobic and Anti-Transexual Agenda.

- Blatantly Racist Immigration Policy.

- Desire to end Universal Health Care. 

- Pushing a Far-Right Religious Agenda to 

become Public Policy and Law...

Among other things...you are Anti-U.S.

"I've been warning people, like, 'You got to chill out,' you know? Like the constant, you know, freakout, it's not helpful," Fetterman said. "Pack a lunch, pace yourself, because he hasn't even taken office yet."

So, ignore what he has done and said in the past, what he is threatening to do once he takes Office, and CHILL OUT.

This is a U.S. SENATOR FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY? 

Asked by Karl what the single biggest factor was behind Vice President Kamala Harris' loss in November, Fetterman pointed to the "undeniable" and "singular political talent" of Trump.

"He had the energy and almost a sense of fearlessness to just say all those kinds of things...'

What impressed you most? 

- The Quotes about Immigrants eating Pets?

- The Misogynistic Quotes about Women 

and their Health Concerns?

- The constant Racist Diatribe? 

- His praise for Robert E Lee, the losing General

at Gettysburg, leader of the Pro-Slavery Confederate Army.

By the way Fetterman, the Victorious General of the UNION

ARMY AT GETTYSBURG WAS GEORGE MEADE, A SON

OF THE QUAKER STATE. 

Not that something like that impresses you or DER FUEHRER DONALD.

Now I can see even more clearly why 2 of the last 3 Presidential Election

results in Pennsylvania were rigged in favor of Trump. 

OH, THAT'S RIGHT...FORGIVE TREASON AND THE DESIRE TO MAINTAIN

A HIDEOUS FORM OF PUBLIC POLICY, (SLAVERY), IN THE 1860S, THAT WAY

YOU CAN EXCUSE TRUMPS TREASON AND RACIST POLICIES IN THE 21ST

CENTURY.

Join the FASCIST PARTY OF AMERICA/GOP FETTERMAN, AND 

QUIT PRETENDING TO CARE ABOUT A FREE U.S. RUN BY ELECTED

OFFICIALS WHO WANT TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT, HONEST, AND BENEFICIAL

FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
