This week, Bobby Jones takes us to the coasts — from the deployment of Marines in Los Angeles, to the brash, gaudy, and likely fascist military parade honoring Trump’s birthday in Washington, D.C.
In L.A., where it’s been reported that military and law enforcement personnel outnumber peaceful protestors by some 30-1, we are witnessing a historic test of our system’s ability to withstand state-sponsored violence and domination over legal, peaceful public discourse. One of the more grotesque aspects of this test has to do with the use of our men and women in uniform as pawns.
Marines don’t enlist so that they can do battle with Americans.
But the performance will continue over the weekend as Abrams tanks crush the concrete of the D.C. streets, and some 7,000 servicemembers march on behalf of a wannabe dictator.
Bobby takes you to both places through the eyes of a veteran. This is a must-watch.
Don’t forget to check out Bobby Jones on Substack.
And if you want to hear more about the parade, tune in to Lincoln Square at 5PM ET on Tuesday, June 10!
