Robert Hubbell Offers Action Steps — And Hope

Watch or listen.

For one thing, wear a paperclip.

Sounds harmless enough; but after June, 1940, “an untold number of Norwegians were arrested for the simple act of wearing [one].”

Of course, that could never happen here.  We have the First Amendment!  We’re allowed to be anti-fascist!

Though not in Trump’s eyes:

Trump to designate antifa as ‘major terrorist organization’.

He hopes to shut it down.

(Antifa, as you know, is short for anti-fascist.  Could he be confusing it with the Hamas suicide bombers of the Intifada?)

Only in satire is Antifa shutting down (2 minutes).

And he’s not just attempting to shut down people who oppose fascism.  (Wasn’t opposing fascism pretty much the point of World War II, which most Americans wanted us to win?)

He’s also shutting down the war on cancer.

And consumer protections.

And attempts to better collect taxes owed by the rich.

And on and on.

One thing he’s not shutting down is the National Debt.  By extending tax cuts for ultra-high earners and corporations who don’t need them, he’s adding trillions.

Which is one reason Ray Dalio is high on gold.

If he’s right, our HYMC — though it’s nearly tripled — could be a gold mine.  (And silver.)  So I’m holding on.

Have a great Sunday.
