An administrative note to TAT readers and what I believe to be the "Essential" 20 TAT essays, out of 497 in the past two+ years.
The Essentials are a small library of patriotism
Dear TAT readers,
This week is intensely busy and it will cut into my writing time. I still plan on a couple of shorter essays. This may be a relief to most, as that my tendency is to write longer than many others, in order to give everyone a more in-depth view of our very complicated national security issues. The corruption, the selling out of allies, the fascist EOs here at home, and the dismantling of our republic, take a heavy toll on ours and our allies’ national security. This demands in-depth reporting.
As bad as I feel to shorten this coming week’s essays, sometimes schedules just get in the way. This is one of those weeks. I have not and will not abandon my readers though, and that is a promise “you can take to the bank.” Nor will I abandon our nation, its citizens nor actual values, not this week nor any week, so long as I draw breath.
Today, I will simply offer what I call, “TAT American Essentials.” Tomorrow, I will offer a short, to-the-point article on what I believe to be the most important threat of the day. As we know all too well, the current administration, supported by a fully complicit Republican Party is at the core of every single national security threat in our NSS or National Security Strategy. In this case, I don’t mean the Trump administration’s bogus NSS, but the previous Biden Administration’s. The current one may have some “boilerplate items” but I can assure you, it is oriented to fully converting the current global order, placing the US, as a solid member of the new Axis of Evil.
It will take everyone to stop this dangerous and subjugating realignment. If you are still reading TAT after all of the intimidation from the GOP and their Mafioso “tough guys” you’re my hero and I could hardly be more grateful. Before Substack and TAT, I was very active on LinkedIn and had a huge following that used to produce thousands of views, per post. Like TAT, those posts were factual and included sources. Now, I and thousands of others like me, are so heavily censored by LinkedIn, a subsidiary of Microsoft, that there is no longer much reason for me to be active there. This is how I arrived at Substack and my life, is so much better for it.
Thank you
, for making this platform the very best I have ever experienced and spent time with. Thank you readers for your diligence and support in helping us steer our way back to the most extraordinary republic in world history.Back tomorrow with a brand new, albeit shorter article. In the meantime, please see the essays below, that I call, “the essentials.” Since beginning TAT in September of 2022, I have put up 497 essays, including today’s. These 21 are the most important essays of that number, that define who we are and why we must be ever vigilant against the usurpers and fake-patriots like today’s GOP. It is up to us, to provide the best future for our children, grandchildren and all that come afterwards. The threat is the MAGA GOP, their ideology, their global despotic allies, and the oligarchs that drive them.
Cheers my friends and thank you most kindly for understanding,
Paul
