X imeo (in my experience only) I tired of the phony late ‘60’s, 67-70. It was a period of great unrest with no direction, social ambiguity, with no goals, other than to end a war, and resolve race issues, which once you got through the weed, the conversation was left to the adults.

This is no different, 20 somethings, but unlike the late 60”s, this round of insurrection is grounded in that last failed attempt to overthrow democracy. Those organization that supported the 60’s chaos are headed for the grave, they want a legacy, the difference between then and now, is the brutal force exhibited. They want to exact a price and indoctrinate the next generation of disenfranchised with a blood oath, whereas the Huey Newtons, Chistoms where right in your face. Antifa, the ultimate UW.

That said, this has all the hallmarks of domestic foreign actors in the mix. As a lone voice in the woods, this may nor resonate, but the torching of St. Johns, is the very same context as Notre Dame in Paris. Same actors, tell me I’m on drugs, you are in denial.

This is the most subversive time in our collective history, as much as the rule of law must be followed, it must be ignored to preserve our cultural and our social norms. The question is who is willing and when to act.

I’m not that old but old enough to remember my youth growing up in L.A. (Cali) late 60’s and throughout the 70’s. We had plenty of “domestic terrorism” and bad actors then. Some of those I believe ran for office and are still there basking in the twilight glow of this current “scorched earth” policy to regain power and control; lost in the 2016 election of DJT (that just wasn’t supposed to happen!)

When people start robbing banks again with arms (no one can legally purchase or own) to fund their crusade against the man, I might begin to get concerned. Until then bring marshmallows, chocolate and grams and a six-pack or two and enjoy the fireworks.

The next four years will determine if the Republic has been saved or lost forever. Then I hope the shooting starts if it’s not saved.
