It was a miracle from the enlightenment and unlike anything, ever. Not perfect and neither is America. But it is much better than the alternatives. > When we see due process discarded, When we see Congress abdicating its responsibilities. When we see illegal search and seizure, When we see habeas corpus ignored, the Constitution needs We the People's defense. - Captain Obvious --- ### State Sponsored Violence ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/41/3a/413ab923-aaaa-4b3c-acf3-a8d625d98ab8/content/images/2026/05/Pretti_Good_People_Are_Getting_Murdered--.jpeg) Murder of protesters protest.

Whether it is the unlawful execution of smugglers in boats, or the targeting, and double-tap tomahawking of a girls school in Iran, or the daily violence we see from DHS, or wars of choice wasting our service members; it is repugnant and intolerable. Writing this makes me feel physically ill. A reel of backpacks, maimed and dead service members, protestor deaths or dehumanizing detentions flash like some Clockwork Orange ultraviolence. --- ### Corruption ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/41/3a/413ab923-aaaa-4b3c-acf3-a8d625d98ab8/content/images/2026/05/Board_of_Peace_Charter_Announcement_and_Signing_Ceremony_January_2026.jpeg) Where did the billion dollar membership fees go?

Not so. No one likes being lied to, no one. Most of the time when this regime is moving its lips it is lying. They have a professional network of influencers who reinforce the lies in media, podcasting, and social media. Professional means for money. Guess they just don't care.
