Can you hear it? The slow and insidious beating. Sometimes you can ignore it, barely hear it, just a distant, insane rumble. Other times it’s close, very close. A news report, a leaked memo. Drums, rat-a-tat-tatting the message of war and suddenly it’s right there. Bass drums, pounding, thudding with the launch of propoganda.

“They’re really going to do it!” your rattled brain screams. “They’re REALLY going to do it!!”

The foremost thought in your brain is he must be stopped. In the name of humanity this juvenile delinquent must be stopped. At all costs he must be stopped.

When will we, as a people, finally say enough is enough and put a stop to this once and for all? Do we still have the fire in the belly for what must come?

I do. And I hope the majority of my Countrymen do as well.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

I hope you’ll join us.
