Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

We may be facing the Apocalypse, but the media aren’t covering it (tales of the imminent end of the world tend to unsettle the advertisers). Pecksniff's diary on current geopolitics and lots more. Art by @coldwarsteve.bsky.social with thanks @eastangliabylines.co.uk

CQ Brown was one of the most qualified Joint Chiefs ever, so it’s not surprising that the most incompetent administration in history would get rid of him. America is currently led by stupid people, and we see that every day!

#ResistanceUnited #Voices4Victory Meta laid off 5% of its workforce, then a week later more than doubled its executive bonuses from 75% of 200% of base pay. Kinda like what's happening with the federal government. Still think billionaires are on your side? Then I've got a bridge to sell you.

Yep, things are uber-fucked up right now. Musk is busy destroying government agencies and meddling in foreign and local politics. Trump is selling out the country to Putin. So we must band together and defeat these aholes! Open the starter pack, do follows, and REPOST!
