S—-
Many great ideas, and the instinct to avoid confrontation and rallies now, given the Capitol riot, is the right thing at this time. Maybe there will be a time with a peaceful show of force in the future, but given the BLM and Antifa Democrat militias today – it is painfully obvious that they will take any MLK non-violent protest and turn it into a mob scene. So, we do need to out think them and not act in groups, yet. This doesn’t mean that at some point this won’t get more active, but now is not the time. Sadly, I fear that a small number of marginalized individuals will react out of frustration and righteous anger, and play into their hands. All we can do is pray for guidance that these forces of darkness and power mad greed are dealt with by the hands of God and that the guilty be punished so that our country can once again be led by leaders who actually believe the words – Under God, to protect and defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic. In this great divide, they believe we are the enemy and we them. But they do not believe in our Constitution. They believe in a Nation of Laws made by the most powerful people – not a nation of Laws derived from Natural Law and God. Yes, this struggle is biblical. We need a Moses, not just Washington, Lincoln, MLK, or Trump.
Trump’s greatest accomplishment may not be the populist movement that finally in a generation put America first. It appears that one corrupt election will undo most of that good. But what he did do is pull the curtain back on just who the “Swamp” really is. It is not just a few radical lefties in Congress like Sandy AOC Cortez from Westchester, or any other member of the squad. It is not just front puppets, Schumer and Pelosi and now the senile empty suits Biden and Harris. The Swamp: Tech Tyrants – Dorsey, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Google/YouTube, Amazon/Cook. Media crime family – 6 major Oligarchies – Disney/ABC, CBS, MSNBC/Gates/NBC, Time Warner, Sony, yes, Newscorp/Fox. Tucker, Hannity and a few others are still free to comment with a significant audience, but the censorship by the Media and Tech tyrants have drowned us out and sadly half the country has been coopted by these evil people. Fox will continue to morph into CNN lite before the 2024 election, and it will take a platform much bigger than Fox News and a few talk shows to tell our story. Yes, Wall Street and Hedge fund scum are in there too, but if we could neutralize the media and Tech – and reform Wall Street – we might actually have a rational Republic again and begin to undo the brainwashing that has occurred in the last 2 generations. Microsoft/Gates – Apple – these two computer oligarchies did not exist less than 40 years ago. All social media including google did not exist 20 years ago. The good news now is that we now know who the enemy really is. Bad news is that they are everywhere and control virtually all of the information except for a few lonely voices in the wilderness. They control the Universities and Public State run K-12 schools. One day soon, they may decide to read this email while I’m typing and censor it…scary thought. But censoring email is their inevitable next step. How do you take down the Tech tyranny and the Media oligarchs peacefully? How do you undo generations of brainwashing in public schools and Universities? Good luck with that. I don’t see a peaceful solution. They know that. That’s why there’s still 5,000 troops and razor wire and fences around the Capitol. Do what you are doing. Pray. I wish I was more hopeful but I can’t see this resolving in a peaceful manner. These Oligarchs and Tyrants no longer want to share power in our Republic. They want it all and I am afraid 75 million and rising Americans are not prepared to be serfs and slaves without a fight. I hid the headline at the end. We know who the 10 or so Tech and Media Oligarchs are. We must find a way to cut off the heads of this Medusa. We know all of their names. We know where they live and work just as they through their NSA and technology know where we live. Just how we go after this evil Tech/Media Medusa is the interesting question and hopefully we do it peacefully without actually cutting off real heads. But French Revolution style Guillotines don’t sound all that bad to me if we can just learn when to stop when enough is enough. But once people taste blood, these things have a way of getting out of control. But if it does turn into a French style Revolution, can’t say I didn’t see it coming.

Armchair Activism
Before we launch onto our maiden voyage, I’d like to take the next few emails to cover what I believe are some important topics about what this effort is all about. Some of these emails will be a bit long but it’s the only way I have to communicate at the moment and lay out the path forward. I promise, after these intro emails, I will always try to be short and quick.
Political activism comes in many forms. Historically, conservatives have been reluctant noise-makers. It was incredibly difficult for us to show up at Tea Party events–it’s just not in our DNA to take to the streets; we have jobs and families; and we do not have a paid, organized force to appear at scheduled demonstrations in our stead. Ask anyone in the Bay Area, I have always advocated for more of a physical presence with marches, rallies, and protests…but not at this time.
The political climate is dangerous and, frankly, stacked against us with a powerful alliance between leftwing activists, Democrats, the Media, Tech, Education, and Hollywood. I call it the Axis of Radicals. No matter what happens at any given rally, there is too high a risk we will be hurt or worse, arrested and possibly imprisoned. We will always be portrayed as the problem or cause for any mayhem that might ensue even though that type of activism is not typical of who we are. Swift legal action will be taken against us in untold ways. The double standards in how we are treated have intensified and become more punitive. We could be peacefully demonstrating, have clear evidence of leftwing infiltration, film their violence against us and the damage they cause to property, and it would still be overlooked by the press and our political leadership or, worse, turned against us.
We have a potemkin president ruling by kingly decree, who has effectively instituted martial law and set up barriers to keep us out of our, the People’s House–all out of some concocted parable that seditious insurrectionists at the behest of Trump might descend on DC. Together with their coordinated efforts with Big Tech, this is designed to make us feel like villains, be viewed as villains, and force us to cower in our homes, unable to communicate with each other either in person, at a rally, or on our computers and phones.
We still don’t have a clear picture of how the Capitol “riot” was instigated and who the participants were, but we are witnessing crackdowns all around us–on those who attended the January 6th event, and the concomitant crackdown that has followed, on all of our rights to assemble and express ourselves simply for supporting Trump, questioning the election, and speaking our minds. Everyday we see people arrested for expressing these views, canceled, censured, fired.
With each incident, another tear drops onto Old Glory.
I am not saying anything you all don’t know and many have experienced first hand. I just believe in the current climate, we cannot afford to lose one likeminded ally to injury, imprisonment, or a ruined life/career/livelihoods.
Moreover, this is the plan. The Axis of Radicals wants us to fall for their bait–to get angry and lash out violently. They are champing at the bit to take away our 2nd Amendment protections and continue to deny us opportunities to assemble, speak and worship.
This is an unprecedented moment not only in our lifetimes, but in all of American history. We have to be smart about how we battle these malevolent forces and prevail at the ballot box. I do not have all the answers but I know if we join together we can figure some things out. Right now, I want to focus on the simple–the email list. While it’s not conducive to a thorough back and forth, I am open to constructive emails and input. I might not agree with it or implement it, but I will always listen and try to respond. My hope is this list gets too big to handle that way and we morph to another forum.
My goal with 75M & Rising is to coordinate efforts on a national level in regard to issues that affect us nationally (so no state or local focus–there are myriad groups/email lists for those) using as much Armchair Activism as possible. A few hundred people boycotting a business has little impact. Thousands to millions writing letters of their intent to boycott and actually boycotting is much more effective. Sending thousands to millions of emails, calls, letters, and hopefully texts with concise and very clear statements to congressional leadership and individuals senators and reps on both sides of the aisle, is much more effective at this point, than 100 people gathered on a corner here or there waving a Trump flag — as much as I love doing that. (And, in saying that, I am not telling any local groups to stop doing what works for you.)
I am open to other ideas for Armchair Activism — if you have a moment of inspiration, please email me. Find out what the left is doing and report back to me with those tactics. We can always mold them to fit who we are. If you email me, please put “Armchair Activism” in the subject heading.
Lastly, like the rest of you, I again opened my email this morning to scores of solicitations for money from organizations I never heard of being incredibly vague on how they will actually spend our donations, to R candidates for office in 2022 starting with their asks. Some of this indeed requires money, but I fail to see how fighting to have Cheney removed (which I wholeheartedly support) requires money. What it does require, is millions of us inundating Matt Gaetz, Kevin McCarthy, and Liz Cheney herself, with letters/calls/emails.
More on that later.
There is a lot we can do that requires minimum effort, cost, and time. That, is my focus.
Update and Welcome:
Welcome to our 535 new listees! While that is amazing in just a few days, it is not enough to have any impact. It tells me we ALL have to do a better job reaching out to LIKEMINDEDS across the nation.
So, please send this email–or one of your own–along with the sign-up link below, to conservatives you know and encourage them to sign up (there is no cost and what do you have to lose? If it’s not your thing, you can always unsubscribe). Send it to your groups, your email lists. Send it to conservatives in Congress. Haven’t heard back from people you already emailed? Send it again and be a nag–this is our country we are fighting for. It requires tenacity.
Explain why we are doing this:
Conservatives need to clearly and concisely communicate our views to Congress and the White House in massive numbers. The more we communicate with DC and the larger the volume of our communications, the more empowered Rs are to speak on our behalf and demand action one way or the other. While the deck is currently stacked against us, we will be heard. Retreating in defeat, claiming I did this already and it didn’t work? That’s what the left wants. We will not succumb to those inclinations.
But, this requires the PARTICIPATION of millions. The burden falls on each of us. We cannot sit back and expect that someone else is carrying the load.
Let’s roll!
