The supercharged words “by any means necessary” entered popular culture during the civil rights movement with a 1964 Malcolm X speech.
“We declare our right on this earth to be a man, to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary.”
What does the phrase infer? Per Wikipedia:
The phrase is generally considered to mean to leave open the option of all available tactics, strategies or methods for attaining or achieving desired ends, including any form or degree of violence as well as other methods typically considered unethical or immoral. It is part of a broader political idea that radical social change or liberation cannot be obtained by limiting one’s means to that which are considered “acceptable . . . “
Fast forward to an April 17, 2025 opinion column openly and explicitly calling for a mass uprising that appeared to call for a “by any means necessary” Communist revolution. Self-described Christian and NYT’s columnist David Brooks wrote
It’s time for a comprehensive national civic uprising. It’s time for Americans in universities, law, business, nonprofits and the scientific community, and civil servants and beyond to form one coordinated mass movement. Trump is about power. The only way he’s going to be stopped is if he’s confronted by some movement that possess rival power.
The title of Brooks’ reckless manifesto: What’s Happening Is Not Normal. America Needs an Uprising That Is Not Normal.
The title should have been My Ends Justify the Means, as “rival power” could be interpreted by readers in our activist culture as all methods or actions, no matter how extreme or unconventional, should be considered acceptable in order to achieve the goal or objective of stopping Trump.
Should “civil servants”, i.e., the administrative state, overthrow democracy to “save democracy”?
Should radical revolutionary sentiments drive conniving Bolsheviks to overthrow our democratic republic for their definition of normal?
Brooks’ call for revolution ends with a phrase originating from The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels: “We have nothing to lose but our chains.” How puerile.
See What You See:
Our democracy, our republic and our freedoms were being put in chains during the Obama and Biden regimes. Obama weaponized the government against its citizens. Did Never Trumper David Brooks vote for more of the same with the Harris/Waltz ticket? Does he along with the repugnant Bill Kristol prefer the deep state over Trump? Yes.
The insurrectionist revolution Brooks’ manifesto called for is for a return to deep state “normal” where elites via the administrative state, not we the people, control every aspect of our lives – money, health, associations, thought. One of the reasons I read Russian literature is to understand tyranny. I read Brooks as advocating the use of subversive forces to bring about a return of deep state tyranny – his “normal.”
Intimidation was a key tactic Lenin used during the Red Terror, a campaign aimed at consolidating Bolshevik power through extreme violence against perceived enemies of the state. Intimidation was also used to enforce acceptance of lies.
Remember the lies and enforcement – the intimidation – surrounding COVID? Tyranny was exposed for all who have eyes to see.
We have been told to believe the lies about a “secure” 2020 election, Hunter’s laptop, and Russia Collusion, the latter meant to stop Trump by any lie necessary. Read Mollie Hemingway’s article:
The Significance of the Recently Released Russia Hoax Documents

The left has monopolized righteous superiority by painting their opposition as extreme, morally reprehensible, and narrow-minded. Among the most effective tactics of their movement has been storytelling. By controlling the framing of narratives, the left guaranteed that people and groups they scorned were appropriately reviled. – Leslie Corbly, America’s Turning Point
Remember this nightly news misdirection psyop from “on high” meant to distract the public from the lies used to subvert democracy, lies such as the Russia Collusion Hoax?

It should not be lost on anyone that the media, professors, and bi-coastal elites such as Brooks dispense discord and division from ‘on high’ to achieve political goals, radical social change, and power “by any means necessary.” Their framing of narratives is replicated in social media and further replicated into violence.
It should not be lost on anyone that the above never suffer the consequences of what they espouse.
Looking back at the days before the 2024 election, there was a group of Never Trumper Christians who worried out loud through various platforms that Trump, MAGA, and Christian nationalism would destroy democracy. This group included the effete NYT’s columnists David Brooks and David French, the editor-in chief of Christianity Today Russel Moore, and others of their ilk.
Each of them accepted and propagated the lie about democracy being threatened. They went out of their way to scare voters, intimidating them with propaganda posing as superior Christian insight and morality.
Condemning Context:
Consider that Brooks’ April 17th, 2025 column was written a few months after two attempts on Trump’s life during his 2024 presidential campaign (July 13, and September 15, 2024) and three months after Trump’s inauguration (Jan. 20th, 2025). Brooks seems desperate to do away with Trump and the democracy that put him in the White House.
Should his words be considered the words of an insurrectionist as they are an appeal for a group of people to take action against a sitting president and are certainly more provocative than any claim against a J6 defendant?
“by any means necessary” Manifested Motives:
The demonic chain of custody that maintains “by any means necessary” violence goes back to the day when Cain killed his brother Abel. Cain must have thought that’s the only way Abel is going to be stopped from being a living reminder of not getting the approval he thought he should have. Cain would later go off and start his own city outside the garden of Eden to live as he pleased.
Continuing the demonic chain of custody, Luigi Mangione is accused of assassinating Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, on December 4, 2024, in New York City. Mangione was furious at the health care industry so he continued the demonic chain of custody of another before him.
Mangione had an apparent fixation with the “Unabomber,” Ted Kaczynski. Investigators found an online review of his book by Mangione that they say sets out “in his view, violence can be justified to right social wrongs. Kaczynski wrote an anti-technology manifesto titled “Industrial Society and Its Future,” arguing that his violent actions (a bombing campaign) were necessary to draw attention to these issues.
David Brooks also wrote a manifesto, his encouraging an uprising to stop Trump.
Continuing the demonic chain of custody, Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old man, has been charged with the murder/assassination of Charlie Kirk. Charlie was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025
Among the details in a 10-page criminal charging document released by Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray, the charges include the allegation that Robinson targeted Kirk because of “Robinson’s belief or perception regarding Charlie Kirk’s political expression.” (His motivation sounds like Brooks’ “The only way he’s going to be stopped.”)
According to the documents Robinson’s mother stated that her son had become more political and had “started to lean more to the left – becoming more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented.” About Charlie the man and the message, Tyler Robinson thought that The only way he’s going to be stopped is if he’s confronted by some movement that possesses rival power.
“Rival power” Mercenaries?
“Rival power,” David? You mean an army of administrative deep state insurrectionaries who will fight against and undermine the elected president? You mean a legion of federal district court judges that hinder and obstruct the EOs of an elected president? You mean the growing Marxist terrorist network in America who want to carry out a Marxist revolution on American soil?
David, do you mean Armed Queers of Salt Lake City run by Ermiya Fanaeian, the child of Iranian immigrants, whose Instagram account calls for “Revolution + Trans liberation in our lifetime!”? Ermiya openly supports the use of violence to achieve the aims of LGBTQ groups.
Per retired CIA Operations Officer Sam Faddis
Fanaeian also helped launch a student study group for the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), with a curriculum that includes names like Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin. That study group also introduced students to Marxist revolutionaries like Fidel Castro, Angela Davis, and the Black Panthers.
Did you know that
Before the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, Marxist-aligned groups operating across America to subvert the nation and collapse capitalism were already on our radar.
Honestly, for anyone paying attention, the writing was very much on the wall as the Democratic Party normalized assassination culture within part of its unhinged base by labeling political opponents “Fascists” and “Nazis” for a decade. And it wasn’t just leftist politicians; leftist corporate media outlets amplified the dangerous rhetoric, while dark-money billionaire-funded NGOs operated misinformation and disinformation propaganda campaigns in an all-out informational war to label MAGA supporters (more than half the country) as “literal Nazis.”

Apparently, using the “by any means necessary” thinking of David Brooks and Luigi Mangione and Ermiya Fanaeian and Ted Kaczynski and Malcolm X and Black Panthers and Thomas Matthew Crooks and Ryan Wesley Routh, the Socialist Rifle Association, Cain, and a host of others, we can justify anything as long as it serves our ends.

A very sad day. My sole companion for the last seventeen years died.
Last Saturday, Sept. 20th, 2025, my parrotlet Henry passed.
I brought Henry home on Oct. 11th, 2008, seven weeks after he was hatched.
He was with me for 16 years 11 months and 9 days – a normal span of life.
We had many interesting “conversations.” I mourn the loss of my little friend. God rest his soul.
