It’s worth stating this simply: For literally anyone in the US Govt from 1945 to 2025, Signalgate would require an instant resignation—and a criminal investigation. It would be a matter of personal *honor* to resign. The fact Mike Waltz & Pete Hegseth are choosing to fight it out is a terrible omen.

Well over a hundred years of friendship, history, and cooperation blown to bits in a few months by an incompetent, simple-minded buffoon who doesn't understand tariffs and never had any real friends so doesn't know how to keep allies.

So, our allies hate us and are telling their citizens not to visit America because they don't want them, you know, deported or sent to detention centers. This in turn will hurt our economy and threaten US tourists and sites abroad.

Brazil won its first Oscar with a movie about its dictatorship that most people will not see but should. It is impossible to live a normal life under a repressive regime, especially once you’ve learned to redefine what “normal” really means.

PATHOCRACY — This, right now, is a more important concept than oligarchy.
We have pathological leaders. They attract other people with personality disorders, who seize the opportunity to gain influence. At the same time, individuals who are moral, empathic & fair-minded gradually fall away.

Pathocracy
People with personality disorders are drawn to power and are ruthless in their pursuit of it. How we can ensure that the majority don't suffer at their hands?
