No Kings!
Garland Nixon on what he found in his research about Indivisible & NoKings
This is a long game, this color revolution. Indivisible is the operation behind the pledge created in 2020 that Dem candidates sign stating that they will rally behind the eventual nominee the Dem party annoints, after a rigged primary IF they bother to have primaries!
There are a lot of well-meaning people out in the streets today protesting the Trump administration’s authoritarian overreach- ICE grabbing people off the street, as in this incident where we see Kristi Noem at an arrest, adding in unnecessary commentary for the camera, providing a certain segment of Trump’s base with some sort of sick satisfaction they certainly derive from it. This is all to fan the flames of divide, to incite the worst of the worst in some people. This is all by design, both the hate incited and the understandable reaction to it. Where will that energy, the opposition to ICE be funneled? To ending US foreign policy that caused America’s Immigration Crisis: A Monster of Our Own Making? Nah. Indivisible tell you to Vote Blue No Matter Who! But continuing to vote for either “cheek of the same arse”(- George Galloway) has the same result.
And the National Guard sent to shut down dissent by force? It seems no one in power on either side remembers Kent State. Democrats cued the current situation up perfectly, smearing protesters of the genocide in Gaza as “antisemitic,” helping pass the Antisemitism Awareness Act and increasing funding to the police state and “defense.” Video below is from April 2024 when a professor at Emory University was defending students from police brutality.
Have things escalated under Trump? Absolutely. So go out and protest but remember that the ultimate goal of the US Empire here is to control its entire population by any means neceessary. That means people of all political persuasions! The powers that be are fanning the flames of “left” vs “right” because the biggest threat to the US Empire is people coming together to demand real representation and real change. A “left-right” war gives the empire justification to violate our constitutional rights with surveillance, censorship and force. Our civil liberties are being stripped away from us and this absolutely did NOT start with Trump. Censorship and mass surveillance have been embraced by BOTH Democrats and Republicans. Our First and Fourth Amendments have been whittled away for many years, typically more effectively under Democrats because the masses don’t pay attention when they are in power! Where were the mass protests in the streets when our government was instructing social media platforms to censor US citizens? Where have the mass protests been all these years the Surveillance State has violated all of our Fourth Amendment rights?
Libertarian Thomas Massie (elected Republican) is the ONLY Representative in Congress who seems to have a clue about the censorship industrial complex, the surveillance state (along with an understanding of the tech involved) and the propaganda used against the American people. He has introduced a Bill to Protect Americans from Federally Funded Propaganda . And the clip below is regarding Section 702 of FISA which allows for “incidental collection” of US citizens’ communications.
Thomas Massie is also the only member of Congress without an “AIPAC babysitter.” A very few others are finally following suit. Now that’s a pledge I’d like to see candidates sign. NO AIPAC or other special interests $!
So where is this No Kings astroturf color revolution brought to you by Indivisible going? I expect as Garland said, the No Kings protests will continue through the midterms and into 2028. I think we will also see a parade of Democrat candidates-some truly grassroots, perhaps too young to remember the events in the 2016 elections or just naively believing they can change the party from within!….and others who will be well-funded candidates, wittingly part of the operation to herd people into Vote Blue No Matter Who. If the masses fall for it yet again, as I did when I voted for Barack Obama, twice, they will be voting for endless wars and against their own interests. I expect Indivisible probably already has pledges in the works, this time extending to ALL candidates running for office?
The power of people joining forces IS stronger than weak US dollars funding influence operations on the American public. Why else would the efforts to keep us divided be so great? The biggest hurdle is convincing Americans they are not powerless-powerless to stop a genocide perpetrated by their own government, powerless to fight for their own constitutional rights.
More to come…

Was at the Denver ‘No Kings’ March. I took a poll asking 107 people there if they had ever held a government official accountable to the laws of their duties. A lot of ‘we shoulds.’ A lot more of “I don’t have any powers.” Had to remind those that the Colorado Constitution Article 2, Sections 1 & 2 both state that all power comes from the people. Some said they vote, which is only the Criminal Recycling Program. Some were very smug about their voting changing the lawlessness of our officials. I asked all who said yes to cite the statute they used to hold them accountable. Only 2 could do that. I retired reporter and an attorney.
Bumped into 2 Colorado politicians that routinely violate law. One said to send an email of the details of the laws he is violating. The other lied and said he follows laws. I called out his lies with a couple of status he violated. He walked away.
Results:
2 Yes, they have held government officials accountable to the laws of their duties.
105 No
Too much apathy in America. So, the criminals keep getting away with it.
Just royalty!
