How to "Fight Back"

This has been a milestone week in the decline of the United States. James Comey's press conference was very strange. He laid out the case that Hillary Clinton broke the law, then refused to recommend prosecution. It was like Marc Anthony's funeral speech from Julius Caesar--"Brutus is an honorable man" just like Hillary's an innocent woman. Comey's presentation was more like a question, "well, what are you going to do about the rampant corruption in your government."

This morning, the news is many police officers were killed by snipers in Dallas. That event's the punctuation on a long campaign to stoke racial tension in the USA and to provoke violence. (See "Ladder of Radicalization" and "Divide and Conquer and Religious Ideas".) The US is on the receiving end of the divide and conquer bullshit that we've seen all over the world.

The American Revolution's a really bad analogy for the present situation. The Reformation is a much better analogue. It's a battle of ideas and really rancid and corrupt public institutions and hidden mafias that guide them.

The model for "fighting back" probably doesn't involve violence, as much as a massive counter-intelligence operation to map and root out the plotters, but more importantly, it's necessary to establish ideals and social and political organization. It's a as trivial as getting to know neighbors (if you already don't) and establishing networks of friends. That's really it.
