I believe that it's now appropriate to apply Lucan Way and Steven Levitsky's notion of "competitive authoritarianism," as laid out in their book "Competitive Authoritarianism: Hybrid Regimes after the Cold War" (2010, Cambridge University Press), to the United States today.

The problem with China invading Taiwan is that…everybody knows about it. Land invasions of this scale have always been cloaked in huge secrecy. But China has broadcast their intentions. My theory? It’s a cover story for military buildup that’s aimed at a different target. More in a video soon.

This is the core of the "deep state" rhetoric, and we're about to see it play out on scale: Rather than root out corruption, it was always about ensuring obedience. This has always been understood by those pushing the narrative and those challenging it; it is MAGA supporters who have been clueless.

"...People who are certain of things are very stupid, and when they have power, they're very, very dangerous." This apothegm might be a bit too pat—as in the case of climate scientists' confidence vs. (often disingenuous) dithering on anthropogenic climate impacts—but the heuristic value is there.

This is very deliberately a slow-boil report that by the end will utterly change how you think about January 6. It has to be a slow boil because it must first underscore how deranged the Patel Hit List is as a backdrop for revealing the most shocking name on it and what it tells us about January 6.

To ensure he can keep taking bribes and not reveal any of his donors, foreign or domestic, Trump has refused to sign a very basic ethics document that would allow his transition to proceed as normal. I think most Americans don't realize how much this endangers all of us, and media is not saying it.
