The illegitimate Deep State's war against Donald Trump and MAGA-supporting Americans has taken on a stench of defeat similar to that of the Gallipoli campaign during the First World War. In that botched attempt to take control of the Ottoman straits and seize Constantinople, the Entente powers suffered roughly 300,000 casualties over a year of desperate fighting just to make it off the beach. It is rightly considered a colossal failure of military planning and execution and a symbol of deadly Establishment hubris. The Battle of Gallipoli began in 1915.

If Trump can't run, I'm not wasting any more time on the ballot box. It's now or never.

It is not enough just to write to editors that 'Will of the People will win in the end". It might be cliche but the surest way for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
1. Donate.
2. Volunteer
3. Risk sourness and ill will but speak out especially when Trump is being maligned by fraudulent propaganda - don't be too rash to jeopardize your livelihood
4. Boycott wokeness. .I was stunned to see how young people suddenly go silent when you utter the word.
5. Volunteer as an election observer.
These are simple things all of us can do between now and Election Day.

A great article summarizing the Obama/Clinton/Biden deep state uni-party coup that placed the demented Biden in the presidency as a figurehead for these tyrants. The Gallipoli analogy is a kind of a reach, but the facts he states about the election thefts are right on.

fta: "The illegitimate Deep State's war against Donald Trump and MAGA-supporting Americans has taken on a stench of defeat " I agree. They are desperate because they are weakening. The left's behavior has become very imprudent and extremely brave men from here and there all over politics are sliding away from the Democrats. It is increasingly clear they want genocide via Planned Parenthood, they want as much control as they can get for its own sake, and they are cruel and stupid enough to flash luxury while advising austerity. They are weakening, and GREAT fighters are appearing on our side.

Yet another rehash of what we all know and have known for a long time. Also a poor analogy using the Gallipoli campaign. Apparently he's unaware that the British naval commander refused to make one more attack against the Turks who were out of shells. It's very possible the attack would have successfully outflanked the Central Powers shortening the war and saving untold lives which was Churchill's goal.

FTA:
When he finally did clinch the nomination, the same corporate news media that had insincerely sung his praises for most of the previous year quickly turned all their firing power against him. They executed one fake news story after the next in order to sink his chances in the general election and shamelessly pushed the Russia collusion hoax propaganda created out of thin air by Hillary Clinton's campaign operatives and Barack Obama's corrupt Intelligence Community.
First the Establishment busybodies not so subtly supported Trump's rise in the Republican Party, and then they set out to annihilate him — a man who had run in many of their same social circles and had been recognized for decades as an American icon and pop-culture celebrity. Obama adviser David Plouffe wrote emphatically: "It is not enough to simply beat Trump. He must be destroyed thoroughly. His kind must not rise again."

If only it were true that the end is in sight. But as long as the leftist Establishment controls the vote-counting apparatus, it will never change. We saw in 2020, how they managed to crank up ballot creation when they discovered that the manufactured mail-in ballots, etc. from all the illegal rule changes would not be enough to overcome The massive vote for Trump. This time they'll be ready from the get-go.

I can see the author's point, and agree with the concept that they are at war with us, but.....
I'm not sure how good an analogy this particular battle actually is. Gallipoli was the first attempted beach landing in the modern era after the development of rapid fire, accurate artillery, endless fire machine guns and rapid fire, magazine fed individual infantry rifles.
It turns out the what could work against pikes, swords and such, even against muskets and muzzle loading slow fire cannon, was unworkable against automatic weapons and rapid fire, accurate artillery, and magazine fed, accurate at hundreds of yards infantry rifles. The key failing was the inability to rapidly deliver enough troops, fire power onto the beach in a short enough time AND SUPPLY IT over the beach.
Churchill was leader of the British Admiralty at the time, and was blamed for the disaster, essentially exiled from government. He spent the next 20 years studying the battle and the problem of supporting and supplying a beach landing in modern warfare. His idea was the LST, Landing Ship Tank, a ship which could pump ballast water aft to lift it's bow, run up onto a beach, open front clamshell doors and have loaded tanks and trucks drive onto the beach.
After a rapid unload and back off of the beach after closing the doors. The British built a prototype that worked, but had no available production capacity. They came to the US, we looked at it, realized that it was a good idea, but said "Why so small?" and scaled it way up, and built a huge number. They were crucial to the successes of MANY beach landings in WW2, along with other British developments of rapid assembly, towed to the battle harbor systems.
