We need a new Independence Day

The revelations of our invasion plans for Iran that the Trump secret documents detailed glaringly reveal the total loss of control we have over our government.
Does anyone ever consider that the American people don't want to invade a sovereign country that has no want or desire to invade us? What danger to us are the Iranian people? Yet these secret plans leave us completely out of the conversation. We have to find out by whistleblowers or even a former POTUS.
As I understand it, Trump refused to authorize this plan. Did he cross the wrong people? Is this the reason he was bumped from office?
Some say JFKs refusal to invade Cuba was a part of his assassination.
But Bydone seems fully compliant to do what he is told. No wonder Iran is moving closer to Eastasian powers and Russia.
All of my "Forever Stamps" with the flag on it goes upside down on my postage to express the warning our country is in trouble.
The thread is open.

@snoopydawg
They are slowly but steadily legislating total control over us all.
The growing state "Continuity of Government" legislation is moving across the country, which gives state governments wide totalitarian powers in a nationwide crisis.
None of these new rules or powers are immediately used. They are there to be triggered in a sudden fashion to catch us all unawares.
They will quip; "It was on the books for years, why are you opposing it now?"
We have seen what they have done with the 1917 Espionage Act.
Thanks for posting, Snoop.

Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.

Celebrate whatever you got left! Smoke 'em if you got 'em. Chill if you can.

@Lookout
A fire in the Columbia Gorge is still raging and the wind is supposed to change direction shortly. Already getting smokey outside.
Enjoy your cool.

Funny, but I also put the flag stamps upside down.
It ain't much, granted. We have little power to wield.
Just a tiny corkscrew in the tool bag.
Wink

the total loss of control we have over our government

How does that square with independence? The gov operates with impunity over us.
Guess in Orwellian newspeak, that means independence of the rulers from scrutiny.

thanks for the OT

JUDGE’S OPINIONS

War and Honesty

Posted on June 29, 2023

Can the president fight any war he wishes? Can Congress fund any war it chooses? Are there constitutional, legal and moral requirements that must first be met before war is waged? Can the president and Congress dupe the public?

These questions should be central to the debate over the U.S. involvement in Ukraine. What debate? The media are mouthing what the CIA is telling them, and only a few websites and podcasts — my own, “Judging Freedom” on You Tube, among them — are challenging the government’s reckless, immoral, illegal and unconstitutional war.

... What kind of democracy operates and kills in secret?
