1/ Throughout my campaign I argued that large groups of desperate people should be seen as a national security risk. That desperate people do desperate things. That they form a petri dish out of which violent eruption is almost inevitable

2/ When I argued that, I’d say it was true whether in a far-off corner of the world or in a corner of a US city. What’s changed now is that this isn’t about a corner anywhere anymore. The entirety of the country is now saturated with an unsustainable amount of untended to despair

3/ Our political establishment is an inadequate container for the legitimate frustration and rage that is rising up from the bottom of things. It must become that now - very quickly - or the rage will spill over into the streets in a way the system cannot contain.

Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking said aggression would be the downfall of civilization. He also said empathy could correct it. I reckon we are at that crossroad today. If we choose compassion, then love will win. If love wins, we all win. #Yesrising

I think Trump wants people to become violent ... That way he can send in his troops ... make his base happy ... and blame the violent people for everything that's wrong in this country ... people ... as bad as it becomes ... need to remain peaceful ... until the election!

They will attempt to contain them by forcing mass homelessness and by interfering with the food supply. My prediction.

The political leadership not only tolerates dissatisfaction and unrest, but seems to welcome it, thinking it “rallies the base.” This is a cynical and dangerous game that will ultimately destroy not only partisan politics, but the nation as well.

Our government instigates & uses chaos to seize control in other countries. It is planning the same for us. Dems & Repubs RENEWED Patriot Act & INCREASED DHS & NDAA funding. They’re ready to make use of the insurrection that’s about to take place. “Democracy” is coming home.

If I didn’t know better I’d think that the great political architects of today are trying to provoke the people into overthrowing both of these toxic political parties and the kleptocrats.

Why would we want to maintain the dying system directly responsible for just about all the horror of everyday life in modern America
