No matter what \u201c<\/span>regular job<\/i><\/b><\/span>\u201d you have, or how \u201c<\/span>ordinary<\/i><\/b><\/span>\u201d you think you are, if you support freedom, you nation\u2019s history, or ‘heaven forbid’, support President Trump<\/b>, congratulations\u2014you are now full fledged <\/span>Enemy of the State<\/b><\/span>!<\/span><\/p>\n

And, by being an enemy of the state, you are now entitled to all of the rights and privileges afforded to \u201c<\/span>domestic terrorists<\/i><\/b><\/span>\u201d throughout human history\u2014the most important of which is the right to ignore and mock those branding you as such.\u00a0 That\u2019s better known as <\/span>subversion<\/i><\/b><\/span>, which refers to a process by which the values and principles of a system in place are contradicted or reversed in an attempt to transform the established social order and its structures of power, authority, hierarchy and social norms. <\/span><\/p>\n

Subversion of a corrupt political system and its despotic ruling class is neither violent nor confrontational as best exampled by the 287-million<\/b><\/span><\/a> peoples of Russia<\/b> (actually the Soviet Union) who brought about the collapse of the most ruthless and feared socialist-communist system in modern times without a firing a single shot.\u00a0 That was accomplished when these \u201c<\/span>ordinary<\/i><\/b><\/span>\u201d people finally awakened to the reality that is was impossible to imprison them all, and when a critical mass sufficiently awakened to this truth, they saw themselves turning the tables on their oppressors. <\/span><\/p>\n

One of my favorite remembrances of those times was when \u201c<\/span>ordinary<\/i><\/b><\/span>\u201d Russians<\/b> turned against the \u201c<\/span>army of citizen detectives<\/i><\/b><\/span>\u201d the state had set against them by filing complaints of suspected subversion activity against everyone.\u00a0 Those complaints, which the state had to investigate between 1989-1991<\/b>, saw the entire system breaking down. Complaints had been filed against over 180-million<\/b> people; the a modern-day parallel would see millions of Americans <\/b>flagging every post and video on social media as suspected of being \u201c<\/span>domestic terrorism<\/i><\/b><\/span>\u201d or \u201c<\/span>white supremacist<\/i><\/b><\/span>\u201d, all of which would have to be investigated, but in the process would grind Big Social Media<\/em> and nearly everything to a standstill. <\/span><\/p>\n

Another subversion action undertaken by the Russians<\/b> saw millions of them daily writing notes saying such things like \u201c<\/span>Andropov Is Dead<\/i><\/b><\/span>\u201d or \u201c<\/span>Brezhnev Is Dead<\/i><\/b><\/span>\u201d (the Soviet leaders <\/b>at that time) and placing them in markets, apartment hallways, factories and office building.\u00a0 A modern-day people power initiative would see millions of Americans<\/b> writing notes like \u201c<\/span>Biden Is NOT My President<\/i><\/b><\/span>\u201d and placing them everywhere … EVERYWHERE ! ! !<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
