"I’m overwhelmed. Not confused. Not 'uninformed.' Overwhelmed in the very human sense of watching too many alarms go off at once, and realizing the noise is part of the strategy."

Thank you for this well-informed analysis. Thank you for allowing your humanity in when you wrote it. Thank you for revealing the thread. There's always a thread. Your thoroughness is much appreciated, as are your emotions about it.

Excellent post, Mr. Plisset.

From another of Trump's illegal wars without guardrails under the guise of a "noble mission" to the subversion of our elections in November as a "national emergency"...we have been warned. Resist MAGA gangster grifter authoritarianism! Vote Sane. #VoteBlue!

By design there is too much happening to follow everything. I keep trying to figure out the best place to focus my energy on.

Elections and voting matter- so I’m supporting candidates that oppose the current administration. I keep posting online about the Epstein files and calling for transparency and investigation. I support the ACLU. Hoping my efforts are making at least a small difference.

Xman!!!!! This is why your pieces are priceless. Just powerful stuff. How you make the comparisons with the music. It’s truly genius. I remember riding in the car with my dad and him singing this song. Great stuff X really liked this.

Thank you for the reminder that the “noise” is part of the strategy. And so is the incompetence.

🚩Here is the link from Senator Tammy Duckworth to sign Senator Tim Kaine’s War Resolution Calling Republicans back to Congress Immediately. I signed it and hope more people will sign and share it.

Brilliant. Devastating. Necessary. On time and with receipts. And Marvin Gaye. Overwhelmed, and you brought truth. Clarity. Lyric and melody to nudge resistance and sweeten the push for freedom.

I make it a point to read your dissertations, along with three or four others here on Substack. Thank you for continuing to try to cut through the bullshit.

The Art of War should be required reading for all military and civic leaders. The greater part of all campaigns are fought in our minds.
