2) Neon Revolt has forced a new perception. He has forced me to walk around a beloved topic of mine, of ours, and has forced me to look at it from its hellacious dark side. It's shadow. The topic is our reawakening as a nation of patriots. The slumbering giant slumbers no more.
3) From 2016 until this day, every time I've seen that thought cross my mind's view screen, I have smiled. And I have believed in us, in U.S. This is the sunny side of the street. A new day in America. And I have been grateful, so grateful to our great leader. And not shy either.
4) I will share that it was a dark shadow that my patriotism reemerged from. When I announced my Trump support in social media - Facebook back then - the vicious attack I came under hardened my heart. The lost of consulting revenue enraged my soul. It wasn't right.
5) It was a David Farragut moment for me, damn the torpedoes. I could never have imagined the type of attack I came under during that fateful year. It was this shadow, this darkness of evil that was there at the very moment of my own political awakening.
6) Reading Neon Revolt's 3 articles this morning, after
@KateScopelliti guided me to them, I discovered a new shadow land. Not new in its existence, new in my own perception. I can now see the shadow that I did not see before.
7) We are told that at times in history various warriors have quite literally eaten the eyes of their fallen enemies in order to be able to see themselves as their enemy saw them. This is a haunting act to contemplate, isn't it? That's what Neon Revolt made me do, today.
8) Where we see the rise of the MAGA Movement as a moment in American history filled with saving grace, and redemptive of our nation, our people, our very culture, our enemies do not see it that way. For them, the sleeping giant reawakened is the worst event of their lives.
9) The villains in Neon Revolt's story are Rod Rosenstein and Vice President Mike Pence. Neon Revolt calls, at the end of article 3, for Mike Pence's arrest as a traitor.
Even typing, I must pause and look at those words before I hit "Tweet." Not from fear for self.
10) I faced my fear when I decided to post all my political thinking under my own actual name. Please don't get me wrong. I have ABSOLUTE respect for those, like Neon, who chose the route of anonymity. They are likely far wiser than I.
11) It was really my hardening that made the choice for me. In the America I fight for, no one would ever have to be afraid of personal repercussions from their honestly held political beliefs, share widely in the public square of debate and the battle of ideas.
12) Neon says Mike Pence must be arrested for treason.
Those words. Those are stunning even to me.
Even to me? I have never once been a Mike Pence fan. And, I have often judged him more harshly than I cared to express, but I am on record. Not a Pence fan.
13) No need to review any of the details. I simply knew that
@GenFlynn was innocent when Mike Pence was trashing him on FOX. That I never forgave, and obviously, never forgot. I've shared this recently, I came up with a scenario to offer Pence some grace.
14) My scenario turned Pence into a gullible victim of the selfsame liars who set Flynn up. Foolishly, in my scenario, he was taken in by their lies and it was the liars who were the bad guys, Pence just their patsy. I never believed my scenario, that wasn't the point.
15) Coming back to the present, I must immediately state my position, or rather, lack thereof. I do NOT know that Neon is right. I do NOT know, and am NOT saying that Pence must be arrested. I am also NOT saying that he shouldn't be. I AM saying, I do not know.
16) Were I in DC, and found myself in a mob heading toward the White House with the intention of protesting that Pence should be arrested, I would disengage and walk away. If I was marching, I would only march for what I knew beyond the shadow of a doubt. I do not know this.
17) The problem is, I fear it. I fear that Neon is 100% right. Be clear...
Fear does NOT = Knowledge
I do not act on fear. I act on knowledge.
But I note and heed my fears, carefully. I am afraid Neon is right.
18) Whether right about Pence or not, we must eat our enemies' eyes on a day like today, and see ourselves as they see us. We are the sleeping giant, and we were supposed to stay asleep.
For all my work on analysis, I just hadn't seen it that way till today.
19) A term I have used is "existential threat." I have always known that we were an absolutely unmitigated existential threat to the Globalist Cabal in its control over America. I really do get that, always have. What I haven't done is felt their terror, their raw horror over us.
20) I'll tell you someone who does get it. General Thomas McInerney. In his list, that I have termed his 10 Commandments To Save America, he maps out a set of steps addressing the full nature of the cancer metastasized through our nation. He clearly sees.
21) I cannot too strongly recommend that, if you haven't listened to General Mac's interview, you need to do so at earliest possible moment. And, if you have, but find yourself in any way in a different place of mind, listen to it again.

22) In my line of work, as a coach, more accurately, as Consigliori, I am trained by decades of experience in the art of NOT making decisions. In my work, I never have power, only the power of persuasion, never power of position. My clients have power, I do not.
23) This is by design. It my job to look as dispassionately as possible at even the most passionate of situations; and to keep calm, no matter what. In deep discussion, my Don and I weigh out the options, carefully. We consider objectives as well as unintended consequences.
24) I have taken as a guide for my work a structure I learned in the movie, And The Band Played On. At the CDC, while investigating AIDS, the team leader puts up on a whiteboard these questions:
1) What do we think?
2) What do we know?
3) What can we prove?
25) No action comes from just thinking. Knowledge always leads to action of one form or another, often clandestine. Proof is a public matter. If you can prove something in public, then bold public action is sanctioned.
26) We know that this election was stolen. We do NOT merely think it. We know it. They did it again last night in Georgia. We know that.
Can we prove it? I'm not read in at that level. Besides, how? Our courts are as corrupt as can be. Where do you prove it?
27) In a few minutes, we will turn together to part 2 of this morning's considerations. Knowledge must lead to action, proof or no. We know our nation has suffered treason at the highest levels. Knowing, we must harden our hearts and souls to the actions we must take.
28) I thought about naming today's meditation:
When We Must Harden Our Hearts and Steel Our Souls
No matter how you cut it, if we wish to save America, there is a battle of one form or another in front of us. There's no getting around that.
Back in a bit...
29) Whoops, I forgot to share that when it comes to our think/know/prove questions, the great Peter Navarro offers us extraordinary guidance again. Do check it out, here:
https://t.co/10eZ9hRYFc
30) It always surprises me when music, often from the 1980s expresses exactly what I'm trying to get at. Take a listen:
https://t.co/QTcT7iNadR
31) In excruciating slow motion, raw and rank an up in our faces, our democracy is being stolen before our eyes, our republic torn to shreds. Our enemy, enemies within knows precisely how this will shock us, and how unprepared we still remain.
33) Human beings enjoy very large forebrains, where cognitive functions take place, often termed "executive" functions. That is, the decision to act, or not act. Our amygdalas - where our survival instincts and reactions occur - are at the base of our brains, by our spines.
34) Inside our spines, which are in some sense like pipes protecting electrical wiring inside, the entire communication and control network to the rest of our bodies is safely protected. The connection between amygdala and body is instantaneous. Blink.
35) The connection between forebrain and amygdala is far more complicated, and often, when not broken, either slow or convoluted. I really want this 3rd piece of pie, but I shouldn't eat so much sugar. Will I, won't I? If you just dive in, it was your amygdala that decided.
36) If you set your alarm clock to get up at 4:30 AM to work out, you had to make that decision with the full force of your forebrain, and it had to be absolutely empowered, even to withstand a night's worth of sleeping. That's called foresight and planning. Totally different.
37) Another dynamic of my work is the discovery I made - not scientifically, just pragmatically - that people hesitate much less over any difficult matter of decision, when they've fully thought it through, first. I've found that you can accomplish what you best understand.
38) Go back to think/know/prove. You may do something you think will work, or you may not. When you know it will work, you can just go do it, don't need to discuss much. But when you can prove something, you can step up, grab the microphone, and lead. Proof is power.
39) See our man Peter Navarro now. He doesn't merely think or know, this is a man with proof, proof positive, certain proof that cannot be refuted. That is a man in his power, ready to grab the mike and lead (no pun intended).
40) Okay, I confess, if I hadn't intended it, I'd have spelled it mic. At any rate...
When I embrace a leader as my guide, I need to understand his thought, knowledge, and proof. And that means slow, careful reading and notation. That's what we turn to now.
41) Note the opening, powerful, declarative statement:
"The Democrat Party and its political operatives, with the unwitting aid of “useful idiots” from the
Republican Party, stole the presidential election from Donald J. Trump."
42) I think - may I call him Pete, please? - Pete is actually, in this first sentence, being nice, and perhaps a bit inaccurately so. Yes indeed, there are useful idiots in the Republican Party. I, however, believe there are far more Dirty, Dastardly Villains, true traitors.
43) Another song intrudes...
https://t.co/BNj7ixfFeO
44) A two-pronged Stuff the Ballot Box strategy. One - INCREASE absentee and mail-in ballots in battleground states. Two - DECREASE scrutiny of those ballots, as Pete say, take the election cops off the beat.
45) Who remembers Michael Corleone coming to the hospital to visit his Pop, after the attempted hit? He gets there, and all the cops have been removed, leaving Vito without protection. That's what prong two is about in Election 2020.
46) Go slowly. Were absentee and mail-in votes expanded in battle ground states? Can there be the slightest question or doubt? No. None. This is a matter of simple, demonstrable, unarguable fact. It occurred. So also with security reductions. These two are both simple as pie.
47) And again, be clear. We are at ABSOLUTE PROOF level, meaning we must have absolute zero hesitation to act boldly and in the public square. We may have question as to WHICH action to take. We may NOT have question over WHETHER we take action or not. We must act.
48) "Key methods used by the Democrat Party to strategically game America’s presidential election
included:
1) Changes in the law approved by State Legislatures;
2) Rule changes and new guidance
initiated by Secretaries of State or other election officials;
49) Pete continues:
3) Court rulings and interventions;
4) and the aggressive use of so-called “public-private partnerships” to commandeer and manipulate the
election process in key Democrat strongholds such as Wayne County, Michigan and Dane County,
Wisconsin.
50) I want you to picture a pickpocket snapping his fingers in your face, look here, look here, with one hand, while gently and smoothly removing your wallet or even your wrist watch with the other. Each of Pete's four methods above occurred right in front of our eyes.
51) Pete now gives us seven basic gambits for Prong One, to INCREASE absentee and mail-in ballots:
1) Relaxing mail-in and absentee ballot rules;
2) Sending absentee or mail-in ballots or
3) Applications for such ballots to every voter (universal
mailing);
52) Continues...
4) Increasing both the legal and
5) Illegal use of drop boxes;
6) Ballot harvesting; and
7) The use of corrupted voting machines.
53) I'm afraid real time events have entered in and removed my ability to walk slowly with Pete and you. Rudy is on TV right now, and Trump will be soon. So, friends, I disengage for now to our family room with
@KateScopelliti and Anthony. Later today, I shall return.
54) Word just in,
@realDonaldTrump will be about a half an hour late, AND that he has announced that he and Pence on absolutely on the same page, Pence can send the votes back to the states and that victory will ensue. That's the current report on the news.
55) Prong 2 reduces scrutiny with 5 gambits:
1) Relaxation of ID verification;
2) Reduced signature matching requirements;
3) Illegally counting naked ballots to increase ballot curing –
4) Both legal and illegal; and
5) Reduced poll watching and observing.
56) Sometimes proof takes a negative form, as opposed to a positive one. How do you come up with the slightest justification for these reductions of scrutiny. Here, our negative hypothesis is that it WASN'T to bend the vote, but rather had a legitimate purpose.
57) This negative hypothesis does not stand as long as it takes to read the words. It doesn't pass the smell test. There is NO possible legitimate justification for these maneuvers. We need to talk about that, a bit.
58) Were we fully awakened, organized, and ready to do realtime battle with these enemies within, we should have poured 1,000s, 10s of 1,000s, even 100s of 1,000s of people onto the street in state capitals across our land as these gambits were rolled out.
59) There's more. Every Republican elected official across the land should have been called upon to DO SOMETHING about this, at earliest possible moment. That's what I mean about a slow motion rollout right in front of our very eyes. I absolutely include myself in this failure.
60) I revert to my earlier point about Neon's impact upon me this morning. I was NOT look at us through the enemy's eyes. I was not feeling the scorn and loathing, the blatant I-dare-you-to-do-anything they enjoyed with every such gambit. They knew, and I was seeing.
61) As we've discussed, when you're in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging it deeper. The time is now. We must call out these gambits at the top of our lungs, in every venue and to every person we can. Stick with me.
62) Let's reverse the conversation. We're constantly told we have no evidence of voter fraud. To turn this, let us say, no, here is where the fraud occurred, and precisely how, you prove to me that it didn't occur. That's part of why I carefully list Pete's points out by number.
63) Look at Pete's next argument with me.
"Key political operatives assisting the Democrat Party included:
1) George Soros,
2) Mark Zuckerberg, and
3) Marc Elias
The following paragraph states the accusation, specifically for each.
64) Each accusation is worthy of its own clear statement, its prosecution brief, if you will. Our side needs to lay these briefs out before the Court of Public Opinion and make our case. Let shout that:
WE MUST PROSECUTE
