The Roe v. Wade Disaster:
A "Plan" for a Non-Violent and Peaceful Nationwide Resistance to the 'Fanatical Five'
The decision by the ‘Fanatical Five’ this past week, to overturn Roe v. Wade, may be the worst setback for freedom and self-determination for Americans since the end of World War II.
Over 70% of Americans support a woman’s right to choose — with respect to a pregnancy.
Nevertheless, a few days ago, this ideological fringe group (the ‘Fanatical Five’) of right-wing zealots consisting of Christian-Catholic fanatics on the Supreme Court, have thrown a match into an already contentious, incendiary, and volatile America.
Much of the world can’t believe what is happening within the United States.
WE have turned on ourselves. WE have seen the enemy, and it is us!!
Now, the US Supreme court has thrown a Molotov cocktail into the lives of half the citizens in this country. No wonder 95% of this planet sits in disbelief while America self-destructs!
Folks, if you think America is currently experiencing a nervous breakdown (and it is), then just wait until the full ramifications of the Roe v. Wade debacle fully kicks in.
Half this nation was informed that, not only will they be paid 82 cents to a man’s dollars, but they — now — no longer possess any nationwide legal protections with concern to their bodies. Hence, an individual seeking an abortion can suddenly find themselves in jail in half the states within this nation.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the legal landscape for ALL American women has changed that dramatically.
But the ‘Fanatical Five’ don’t give a damn. The five who voted to overturn a nearly 50-year legal precedent have been paid, promoted, and supported by right-wing elites to keep the vast majority of Americans under control.
Trust me, ladies and gentlemen, this is only the beginning.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife, Virginia (who worked feverishly with the Trump White House to overturn the 2020 presidential election), have let it be known that gay rights, birth control contraceptives, gay marriage and LGBTQ rights, and other legal precedents, are now on the list to be overturned.
Have no doubts, ladies and gentlemen, the right-wing ideological sharks smell blood in the water. Roe v. Wade is gone. Now, they are going in for the kill. If you think I am exaggerating, then you are either living in a delusional state of mind, or you have dedicated your life to living in a ‘Bubble World’ that places you as far away from reality as humanly possible.
Either way, your state of existence, and/or mind, are now completely irrelevant. The ‘fanatics’ are indeed committed to eliminating the freedoms and rights of women, gays, or any other Americans who are deemed (by the elite 1%) as being unworthy of constitutional protections.
Are you awake yet!?!
It’s time for all of us to get our asses in gear. Your iPhone and other forms of technological daydreaming are now endangering your own freedoms and rights as an American.
So, what to do?
The Doyle Plan
America was designed from its very origins to make money. Lots of money! Religious freedom soon followed. But it was the second and third sons of the British aristocracy (and other European aristocracies) that eventually turned the incredibly fertile lands and fish-filled coastal waters of America — given to them by their respective Monarchies — into financial fortunes.
For many of these second and third sons, their acquired wealth was greater than their wildest dreams. Why did this happen? Because the British (and other European monarchies) constantly needed money for their endless wars against each other (sound familiar?).
To pay back these wealthy families, the King or Queen of these European nations gave huge plots of unseen land in the ‘New World’ to their loyal financial supporters.
Of course, nobody took the time to ask the varied indigenous peoples, throughout the Western Hemisphere, if their lands could be used as a form of payment by European Monarchies who found themselves broke from wars that produced nothing of substance (again, sound familiar?).
What am I trying to say?
Here is The Doyle Plan.
To get the attention of America’s elite (the top 1% crowd) you must target your resistance where it will definitely get their attention — MONEY.
Marching and yelling into bullhorns will get you some attention — perhaps your local TV stations or newspapers (those that are still in business). Some protests might get a few minutes on the national or cable networks.
This form of ephemeral electronic recognition soon evaporates. Henceforth, the marches will quickly fade into silence. Local and national TV stations will eventually lose interest. And the newspapers will soon seek new stories to cover.
Then what?
I suggest a national shutdown.
No, I do not recommend a sit-down strike like the ones exercised in auto plants in Michigan in years past. Or, organizing a case of ‘Blue Flu’ like the police often implement during contract negotiations.
What I suggest is shutting down the roads and highways of this nation. Women driving their cars and pickup trucks upon the roads and highways of America; parking them on these roads and highways; turning off their engines; taking their keys; and walking away.
It can be done. It is that simple.
It would stymie American capitalism in its tracks.
Over 70% of America’s commerce takes place upon the nation’s roads and highways.
The whole world would be enthralled by this bold and declarative statement.
If you want to strike fear into the hearts of the American Elite (Top 1%), then threaten their money (and power) directly!!
American women are already underpaid. And they are now second-class citizens in their own country. What the hell else can America’s 1% do to women?
Will America put 165 million women in jail? Let’s see how that works!!
Ladies and gentlemen, this would be the most assertive, confrontational and dramatic form of CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE to ever be exercised within the borders of the United States.
Not since the American Civil Rights Movement exhibited during the 1950s and 1960s, has such a nationwide resistance to irrefutable injustice been utilized by the American people.
Henry David Thoreau would be proud. Imagine. Half this nation determined — peacefully — to defend, demand, and protect their constitutional freedoms.
Perhaps, Canadian writer Margaret Atwood’s brilliant masterpiece, The Handmaid’s Tale, published almost forty years ago, will not become the new reality for women in the United States.
This “act” of peaceful resistance would represent AMERICA at its very best!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen — it would.
