Tea and Crumpets vs. Bread and Water
By

What we are facing is two sides of two different coins. Knowing that this is not how it works, but indeed, it is how things are and have been for centuries. One coin denotes class and serfdom, and the other is known as race and judgment. If I were a betting man, I would put one coin over another and say, it’s more about Class (the Elites) over the average American (the serfs). The other coin is really designed to create divisiveness (racial hatred and the mis-education and judgment of others).
It’s easier to divide and conquer, using this as a mass distraction, while looting the pockets of millions of Americans who are probably unaware how easily the Elite Class is looting, stealing, and dividing the country even more. This is done by economically removing their rights as human beings through breaking laws, trashing the constitution, deregulating any safety, and instituting, by “Will,” the laws that empower their theft.
The distractions sit atop Mt. Vesuvius, and that volcano is soon to erupt. The Lava of lies is flowing to the ears of the weary. The repeated statements of untruths, until the real truth is inevitable and has to be re-stated with more lies. It stands without reason why some Americans in the country can not and will not accept anything but what was first fed to them as the truth.
It is not a proven fact that Marie Antoinette said, “Let them eat cake”, but she was definitely accused of treason and beheaded. The revolutions and outcries over words and deeds, plainly seen and heard, go back to the revolution on tax on tea, or the independence of Europe’s rule on the new Americas, or the many wars of independence, which brings me to a statement by our Secretary of State, Marco Rubio:
“The United States will always be a child of Europe.”
That statement alone is a double entendre. Are we really to believe that he means what he is saying? Or is he saying this to cozy up to our European allies, who are eyeing this administration with grave concern?
In less than one year, the tea and crumpets (the elites) have gained more power and have had the biggest transfer of wealth ever seen in this country, while the bread and water (the average American) is slowly losing the power of the purse. The ability to pay their bills on time, credit debt, high interest on mortgages, student loans, groceries, and other basic commodities.
No doubt, there will be a roosting, but this will only happen after a Tribunal of Truth, when what comes to light are the many crimes of theft, deceit, and treasonous behavior by this administration that said they would expose “the deep state.” The projection is beyond hypocrisy, and the revolution and protests have only just begun. This is where 2026 will be another year of struggle for decency, democracy, and independence over our minds and bodies.

I’m in agreement that this is more of a class war. I’m a middle aged white woman and I make between 80 to 100 thousand a year. Where I used to feel secure as a part of the working middle class, I now am feeling crunched. This year, I will be having a Staycation just because I need rest, and so do my credit cards. Great essay. Love your voice and the art you do. --O.A.

“JUSTICE FOR ALL OR LIBERTY FOR NONE”
By

As we try to pace our emotions going forward in 2026, just know, this dumpster fire can’t even melt the “ice” that fell over the Eastern Mid-Atlantic region…and we are expecting more. What is happening in the United States of America is worse than a tragedy; it’s obscene. It is straight-up criminal. And we all see it. We all feel it.
The words I write here have rung repeatedly throughout the mainstream media, the alternative media, the small, medium, and large content creators on social platforms, even as far as Australia, Germany, Canada, the UK, and even India.
Back in the day, we called them “con men”; today, they are grifters, rapist, sexual abusers, blackmailers, hypocrites, and liars. And they all sit on Capitol Hill and in the White House. There is no empathy, no heart, no soul.
What we are witnessing with our own eyes as citizens and taxpayers is an administration that is bullying us into submission, while we pay for the destruction of our Democracy. We are protesting, and we are peacefully protesting. We are trying our best to peacefully protest, but when you have a bunch of goons, January 6 ICE agents, the KKK, the Neo-Nazi’s, the White supremacists, masked up, gunned up, peppered, and gassed up, how do we hold up?
Our country is facing a schism worse than the civil rights era, my mom and dad, and their generation went through…but then again, I was too young to really know if I can compare this to that. I honestly don’t think they were trying to shred the Constitution in the ‘60’s. I don’t know if they were executing white men and women in cold blood for all the nation to see. More than likely, we would have to go back to Tulsa, Oklahoma - “Black Wall Street, 1921; Rosewood, Florida - the entire place was put to fire and burned down, 1923, and still the only song that rings through my mind is John Brown’s body, but there is Lincoln, JFK, and RFK, who were political figures.
There were many incidents of racial violence that led to economic and social displacement because of envy, jealousy, and self-hatred. So, to appease their fragile egos in 2025 and 2026 ( and hopefully, not beyond), they are strapped with masks, not hoods, long guns, not stun guns, cosplay Halloween costumes of military wear probably bought on amazon and the worst are the gears of impunity and immunity.
The Nazi-style execution of Alex Pretti was a blatant in-your-face, I don’t give a shit who you are…‘Eyes Wide Shut' moment. We all saw it. We all see it, everywhere. Over and over and over and still can’t believe what we saw. Our jaws hit the floor! If they’re executing white citizens in broad daylight, god help us all! No justice, no peace. We still don’t know the names of our executioners. We still can’t see their faces. We still have to continue to lose our lives for a Liberty this country has been fighting for for over 250 years.
What’s next? In my humble opinion….
" Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution provides the legal basis for removing federal officials, including the President, Vice President, and all civil officers, from office through impeachment. They are removed upon conviction of “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors”.
All Congress has to do is …GROW SOME DAMN BALLS!!!

RENEE GOOD: LAW ENFORCEMENT OR MURDER?
By
M. Garcia
Once upon a time in America, there was no mystery about law enforcement.
I’ll give you an example:
In October of 1970, Charles Manson wasn’t a laughable kook. He was the monster
behind the Tate/LaBianca murders, a cult leader in his 30s, who had spent roughly half
his life behind bars. Incarceration had given him plenty of time to exercise, and he was
surprisingly strong at only 5-foot 3.
During his trial, which could have resulted in a death sentence, he became angry with
the judge. Manson openly threatened to kill the judge and took immediate action toward
that end. He jumped five feet across the defense table and approached the bench
aggressively with a sharp pencil in hand.
Now even though Manson was charged with committing heinous crimes, called himself
Satan, boasted about being evil, had the strength to leap a distance equal to his height,
wound up very close to the judge, and was armed with a tool that could easily have
been used for wounding or killing – What did the courtroom officers do?
Three deputies and one bailiff disarmed him. They restrained him in ways that didn’t
require a trip to the hospital or the morgue. Since he was innocent until proven guilty,
the officers made sure the courtroom was safe for everyone and Manson got his day –
or days – in court.
That’s law enforcement.
What we’ve seen happen to Renee Good, George Floyd, and others like them was not
law enforcement. It was murder.
I know some people might think that I’m comparing apples and oranges. After all,
Manson was armed with a pencil. Good had an SUV. But when the ICE agent who
would kill her approached the front-right side of her vehicle, she didn’t turn right. When
the agent was near the front-center of her vehicle, she didn’t advance though she could
have run him over easily and literally. When the agent approached the front-left side of
her vehicle, she made a hard right turn and accelerated – trying to run away from the
armed masked man who then shot her four times.
Where’s the justice in this?
Charles Manson got four officers who didn’t put him in the hospital or the morgue.
Renee Good got four bullets that killed her. Why? Because, reportedly, the ICE agent
2
was scared for his life. We’ve heard that excuse used many times before when thugs
with badges and guns decided to kill unarmed black motorists who, like Good, were
simply trying to survive a traffic stop.
Though these abuses of power have become regular viewing on YouTube and the
news, We the People must not accept these heinous acts as normal. According to the
legal system of this country, even a guilty person – like Charles Manson – deserves a
defense. All of us deserve due process. We deserve true law enforcement.
