This letter arrived August 8, 2022 (post marked the fifth), same day as the Mar a Lago raid. Are they related? I believe so. Clausewitz said, “war is a continuation of politics by other means”, but Foucault said, if you want to analyze “power”, then Clausewitz’ aphorism is backwards, “politics is a continuation of war by other means.” What we were looking at was not legitimate law enforcement but the illegitimate use of power. I don’t believe this letter has been made public, but I have wanted to read it, as it could tell us something about the authors. I explained to the chief what we learned in Dr Rucki’s foreign policy class in regards to government decision making behavior; “Who Acts? What motivates them? What is the context in which a decision is made?” Remember I never met this man up until March 2024, but he obviously had done some background on me. I asked him if he thought we won the Cold War, and his reply was “you already know the answer.” Now I don’t know much about this man’s life and character beyond his public bio-details, but on May 27, 2022 he was a hero and saved lives.
