The Antlantic's Article, titled "The Trump Regime Is Beginning to Topple" provides insight into the riots, disbanding of police, stripping of military
6/7/2020 | Vanity, quoting Franklin Foer

There appears to be the equivalent of a "How To Overthrow America" training manual (my description of this article) in the The Atlantic right now (excerpts below).

It assumes that rational people naturally consider Trump a dictator, cites with approval the strategy behind the overthrow of the Ukraine, and sees Esper's public repudiation of Trump's authority as signs of progress toward the overthrow of US, which he calls "the revolution" to topple a dictator.

While reading it - the Deep State's strategy glares from the text. It describes rather concisely why the Deep State is cutting vigorously at oaths of office which used to prevent the military and police from becoming indepedent political partys or backing the overthrow of those whom the public voted into office. 

Everything I read in the article was the opposite of what I believe is actually going on in real life right now. For example, The Atlantic's writer quotes political scientist and conscientious objector Alan Sharp, "Obedience is at the heart of political power" in his attempt to frame Trump as authoritarian.  Instead, I immediately think of the authoritarian left's Covid-19 lockdowns, requirements that everyone wear masks, contact tracing enforcement, monitoring and surveillance, etc.,...and the public's reluctant obedience.

State and local officials' fake rules/laws actively dimish human health and teach obedience, while those same "public servants" are encouraging and facilitating "peaceful" protesters (rioters) to violate lockdown by traveling to and remaining in protest locations. The same state and local officials threaten arrest of those who peacefully protest lockdowns because they might spread the virus.

The Deep State's MSM and Congress critters are everywhere insisting on social distancing for conservatives while making public calls to antifa "resistance protesters" to congregate in hundreds of thousands (1 million for D.C.).

"Obedience for conservatives and revolution for leftists!" could serve as the verbal propeller driving the coup.

I will place excerpts from the article below; note that those with motion sickness may find the obvious, repetitious upside down qualities of reasoning offered within it disturbing.

The Trump Regime Is Beginning to Topple

The best way to grasp the magnitude of what we’re seeing is to look for precedents abroad. June 6, 2020

Article Excerpt:

“Obedience is at the heart of political power.” A dictator doesn’t maintain power on his own; he relies on individuals and institutions to carry out his orders. A successful democratic revolution prods these enablers to stop obeying. It makes them ashamed of their complicity and fearful of the social and economic costs of continued collaboration."

"Sharp posited that revolutionaries should focus first on the regime’s softest underbelly: the media, the business elites, and the police."

"By standing strong in the face of armed suppression, protesters can supply examples of courage that inspire functionaries to stop carrying out orders, or as Sharp put it, to “withhold cooperation.” Each instance of resistance provides the model for further resistance. As the isolation of the dictators grows—as the inner circles of power join the outer circle in withholding cooperation—the regime crumbles."

The other thing the Rs have to do is bring to the fore that Biden is senile. It may not be nice but its true and the future of the country is at stake. Otherwise, the Dems and their servile followers in the media will craft a picture of an out of sight, but in control moderate and avuncular Biden who is a healer. His few public appearances will be carefully scripted, short and they will rely on heavily edited videos that the press will parrot without raising a question.

The Morlocks at the Atlantic are 16th century fanaticizers (demon worshippers), and this Atlantic magazine screed fits that characterization perfectly.

Given the “protests” that have been cropping up all around the world, there is also no doubt that this has international coordination, and I have no doubt that Soros provided funding and organization for the riots and looters, and we know that the ChiCom government it trying to take advantage of this as propaganda.

knee on the neck thing with the eight minute video was a set up - the entire way
= = =

That may help explain the cop’s apparent attitude of ‘arrogance’ and ‘so what.’

Keep the camera rolling, the script will continue, ...

Then OOPS.
