Now that finals are over, I thought I would share two of the many declassified CIA documents I had to analyze related to the US backed coup of Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz

A budget proposal for a the coup and CIA “Disposal list”
Coincidentally (or perhaps not) the guy who was head of the Guatemala station at the time of the coup would be killed in rural Thailand in a head on collision with a truck only a few years after this.
The training for this coup and several others was conducted out of a site code named “Lincoln” at a small airport in the Miami suburbs. It cover was a daycare center (Yes really)

Anyone else know young people who are American seriously considering leaving the country to start a new life because of the state of politics in the us?
I can tell you this for damn sure. I’m never going to raise kids here if there are still school shootings when I’m older.
Wow I had no idea how many people there are that already have or currently are considering this of all ages.

We could give $100,000 to every one of the 500,000 homeless in the the US. it would cost $50,000,000,000 or approx 7% of the annual amount we spend on our military and we would still be spending more than the next three countries combined.
I’m not a housing policy expert- but you don’t have to be to see how fucked up our priorities are.
I’m not advocating this is how we go about solving homelessness as I’m not an expert but I say it to provide some perspective on why the cost argument is largely bullshit. Especially considering the 7% goes mostly to bullshit PMCs and companies that produce shit equipment.

The proud boys and oath keepers are not independent groups. They’re the armed wing of the Republican Party.
They can’t rely on the military to push their political agenda domestically so they are building their own.
We need to get guns out of politics before the extreme polarization we have erupts into mass violence. On our current path every city will become Kenosha but worse.

Do we want to focus on making progress or do we want to make everyone happy? Every single day we are out messaged and out organized. We can continue with the delusional optimism that’s brought us here or we can address the fact that as it stands- we are our own worst enemy.
The lack of self awareness is truly insane. How can people expect to build a completely new system and society if they can’t even run their own organizations?
Progressives need to do some real reflection on how we can be a movement that brings people in rather than pushing the few we already have out.

We need leadership and unity.

Guns turned what could have been a fistfight into a shootout. At every turn guns made this situation go from violent to deadly.
Don’t forget the police knew that there were armed civilians down the road who the police made the decision to push the protesters towards. They made that decision- to push the protesters several blocks down the street bringing both groups into close contact.
One militia member has even been cited as saying that allegedly a police officer told them that they (the cops) were going to move the protesters down the street and that the militia could “handle them”
