On 9-18-70, when Jimi Hendrix was murdered, some part of me died with him, and I still feel that way 56 years later.

In 1946, World War II veterans in a small Tennessee town armed themselves, laid siege to the county jail, and forced a corrupt local government out of power. It is one of the only times in modern American history that citizens took up arms against their own officials and won.
Paul Cantrell's machine, tied to Memphis boss Ed Crump, had run McMinn County since 1936 on a fee system that paid deputies per arrest. Returning GIs got picked up and fined repeatedly. In May 1946 they formed the GI Non-Partisan League and ran their own slate.
On election day, Sheriff Pat Mansfield brought in some 200 out-of-county deputies at $50 a day. One shot a Black farmer, Tom Gillespie, in the back for trying to vote. When the polls closed, deputies carried the ballot boxes into the jail and barricaded themselves in.
The veterans broke into the National Guard armory, surrounded the jail, and fought a six-hour gun battle before using dynamite. The deputies surrendered around 3:30 a.m. Nobody died. The ballots were counted in public.
On May 9th, I thank the sacrifices of the Soviet Union for my existence. My dad was Army Infantry in WWII, and the Soviet Army materially improved the odds that my dad came back to the USA, and was able to raise a family. @RealScottRitter @OCOCReport
Hey @JDVance - your only chance for political survival is to invoke the 25th Amendment immediately!
One of my favorite movies is "Tomorrow" with Robert Duvall, a poignant adaptation of a Faulkner short story.

🚨 HOLY SH*T! IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE: A BURIED CIA VIDEO JUST SURFACED… AND ERIKA KIRK IS IN IT
A 10-year-old documentary about EMP attacks and U.S. power grid vulnerability has quietly surfaced - and buried inside it is Erika Kirk.
She’s not observing.
She’s not a host.
She’s in a role most civilians never get near, briefing national security professionals alongside a former CIA National Security & Energy Specialist on how an EMP or coordinated physical attack could collapse the U.S. power grid.
This isn’t casual footage.
It’s technical.
It’s inside-baseball.
And it’s the exact kind of material most people never get near, let alone present.
Which raises some very uncomfortable questions:
Why was she in that role?
What qualified her to brief on national security threats?
Who brought her into that room, and why is none of it explained?
Back then, this clip passed quietly. Today, with everything surrounding her, it hits very differently.
At what point do “coincidences” stop being coincidences?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This clip comes from the public 2015 documentary "Black Start" on grid threats, not CIA-produced. Available on YouTube since upload, it features Erika Frantzve presenting alongside former CIA Director James Woolsey. Her family's business includes EMP protection tech.

Sadly have to accept that @kurtmetzger doesn't like the East Coast. Will he ever appear even close to New England again?
Anytime John Bolton is trending on Twitter, I will check just in case it's his death being reported.
Everytime I open Twitter, it recommends that I follow @NSAGov - is that because the NSA is already following me?

This is @RealScottRitter's speech at the Black People's March today in Washington DC in support of the Uhuru 3.

My grandma had a pet squirrel she adored. He brought her so much joy. It doesn’t reconcile that taxpayer dollars are going to harass people like this. Peanut was loved not just by his family, but by millions who got to see him online. Let’s remember what’s at stake here. Vote Unity. Vote Peanut. IN PEANUT WE TRUST
The moral question that Peter Tatchell should ask is "What history of Israeli occupation would make it clear to Hamas how Israel would respond to 10/7/23?"

Twitter is suggesting that I follow @NSAGov - is it because they are following me on every every platform and app I use?

I'm absolutely devastated to hear that Grayzone reporter and occasional Unlimited Hangout contributor Jeremy Loffredo has been unjustly imprisoned by the Netanyahu regime for his brave journalism. Please join me in calling for Jeremy's immediate release.
According to Israel’s @ynetnews, Israel is charging US journalist Jeremy Loffredo with “aiding the enemy during wartime and providing information to the enemy” for reporting on the Israeli military targets hit by Iran earlier this month.
Israel is detaining and prosecuting an American journalist for doing journalism. Will his media colleagues defend him? ynetnews.com/article/ryjxg00…
