Monkey Z monkey do. The day of the Great Awakening came and went. The sun has set — in every American time zone at least — on the day that Donald Trump’s True Power was to be made manifest.

If you missed our reporting the other day go check out the details.

A far-right website that was among the platforms used to organize the deadly violence at the US Capitol has again been forced to find new internet service protection after a shell company owned by two Russians and registered in Scotland cut ties with the platform’s internet host.

The website 8kun, previously known as 8chan, has long been one of the preferred platforms of the far right and followers of the baseless conspiracy theory QAnon. It was used by rioters ahead of the 6 January attack to mobilize other “patriots” to “help storm the Capitol”, with some on the message board debating which politicians to kill once they got inside.

In the aftermath of the riot, users continued to post content fomenting violence, including maps of government buildings to target and combat techniques for a proposed civil war.

Sing it with me now, “Mother Russia here I come. Right back where I started from.” Oh, Nikita. At least back in the day you were honest. In 1956 Nikita Khruschev said, “We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within….”  They tried.

As stated before and will be said again, democracy dodged the bullet. The crazies came and some of them are going. Count your blessings, but don’t sit on your laurels. We’ve got a lot of work to do to keep the guardrails on the constitution. It’s not cliche, it’s truth: Vigilance is the price of liberty.

Help keep the site running, consider supporting.

  1. He tried or the Russian money tap was cut off? Treachery is not easy or free.

    Funny how being a traitor takes so much WORK and organizing. Wonder if they could put those talents to use somewhere useful? Nah, sometimes just the makeup of folks. Just keep them out of power.

    Oops, I guess it is okay to be the first to comment. I almost got destroyed at Daily Kos for saying that! Egads.

  3. Well trying to be the first to comment. Almost destroyed at mother ship.

    Treachery is never free. Russian tap must have dried up.

  4. Don Henley called it 30 years ago in “Little Tin God”: “A new is dawning/On fewer than expected.” The game has been exposed as a three card monte job.
