Have you hear about "The Grand Bargain" Trump plans for the Middle East? Seth Abramson's book comes out September 3 (it's still September 2 in Alaska, but it's the 3rd already in NY). This Twitter Thread of 20 Tweets will chill you, because it isn't a Netflix series, it's how Trump got elected and the international machinations behind his election - what he got from them and what they want from him. And are getting. This won't take too much of your time, though it's probably not something you want to know, because then you'll either feel a. helpless, b. depressed, or c. required to fight. I hope you pick c. How can you fight?
- Send the book to your Congressional Reps.
- Copy key passages and post them on social media.
- Suggest the book to your book club.
- Copy pages and post them on bulletin boards and bus stops.
- Give copies of the book, or of chapters, to your Republican friends and challenge them to refute the facts in the book.
- Apply for Canadian citizenship
Know that if Trump is reelected, the United States as we've known it is over.
I've written about this book recently. Abramson is offering excerpts from the book this time. Think of it as a preview of the book (sorry, I'm of the era that knows what's now called 'trailers" - something that comes after - as 'previews' - something that comes before). As I understand it, he's picked parts from the overview so you get a sense of details but also of the bigger picture in twenty tweets (280 characters per tweet).
Yes, I know Seth Abramson is doing his best to promote his book. But I've read his previous book - Proof of Collusion. It's the best guide I've seen to who is who in the Trump swamp. Think of it as a program guide at the theater or baseball game. He's pulled together everything available on all the players and what they did.
I expect this book will be the same with more stories. This is different from getting dribbles daily that are hard to connect. Abramson connects everything for you. As you can see in the Twitter feed below. So I don't mind him pushing his book, and I don't feel any doubts about making people aware of it. This is what all Americans should know about how our president got elected and what he owes Russia, Saudi Arabia, Israel, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and others. These twenty tweets will get you started down this rabbit hole.
(THREAD) Now that Amazon lets readers preview the first 56 pages of the 600-page book PROOF OF CONSPIRACY—which officially launches in under 3 hours—I thought I'd post some key early excerpts. I hope you'll read on and retweet. The purchase link is below: https://t.co/YBrqfTtZ4Q— Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) September 3, 2019
[UPDATE Sept. 4, 2019: I tried to put the whole thread up, but you have to click on the link at the bottom to find out more details of the men pictured above.]
Apply for Canadian citizenship? Why not Mexican? I found it amusing that all those Hollywood folks when talking about where they would go if Trump won, said Canada. Not one said Mexico or some other country south of the border, even though it’s closer and the cost of living is less expensive. When liberals flee they pick the whitest countries to go to. Kind of makes you wonder.

Actually, Oliver, Canada is much closer for me. I can drive to Canada in six or seven hours. It would take me longer to fly to Mexico. And Western Canada has a lot of First Peoples communities, Vancouver has a large Chinese community. But after this summer, Argentina would also be a good choice.
