Okay enough is enough you want to get rid of Trump the strategy is very simple. He's a vain bully that loves attention and he does not care what type of attention. Every tweet he does is designed to do one thing only create more attention on him.
Every time you respond to one of his tweets or re-tweet him you are giving him what he wants. This latest tweet about the DNC server and the FBI, complete fiction but everybody on Twitter is talking about it whilst he spends quality time with Putin. He's not stupid he's creating his own reality and pulling everyone else in.
DO NOT respond to his tweets. DO NOT re-tweet him. UN-Follow him, follow POTUS if you must. (although most of his followers are bots anyway).
Tweet at him constantly about current events: Healthcare Plan, Economy, Russia, Global Warming etc. ONLY GIVE HIM FACTS!!!
Organize people, use his tool against him and don't just tweet at him. Tweet at his Republican power base. Make his only tool impotent!
The Free Press, you know who you are! Put a black out of on his tweets. Don't bother with them at all! DO NOT report them they are a waste of your time and most of the time 18 months out of date re-purposed fiction. Remove him from office by not talking about him at all, refer him as potus or the Whitehouse Republican Administration. DENY HIM PERSONALLY ALL PRESS! MAKE IT ABOUT the Republicans! They made him a puppet dictator!
Time to Rebrand the troll!
Remove his support mechanism!
Resistance only works when you are organized!
DO NOT FEED THE TROLL!

Ingress - Its Full of Triangles!
Note: this is not a review!
I have been playing Ingress which is a GPS augmented-reality based game on my Smart-Phone for the last two years and I have finally got to the point where it no longer holds any appear for me whatsoever, it has become more habit now than any enjoyment.
The game itself is very simple and has a quite addictive game play to it which will keep you happy for at least two years (in my case) or a few months in others. Besides the game itself it has a fairly strong social element which had a definite appeal to me, I always like meeting new people plus it does get out you of the house walking in the fresh air. Other forms of travel are also used:
The game is played all over the world, it also has big events called Anomalies normally centered in several big cities around the world. You can have many as six hundred players in each city battling it out. Apparently there are seven million players world wide as opposed to World of Warcraft that have just over five million although I suspect the fresh air in World of Warcraft is probably virtual.
Sounds amazing doesn't it? Well Yes and No, I went to Cardiff in 2015 for the Shonin event which was extremely well organized and I did love the social side however the game itself I was bit bored with to be honest. It was completely different to the normal game you play which I definitely preferred at the time.
There is a story to game which is sort of simple, two factions one called the Resistance aka Smurfs (Blue) and the other called the Enlightened aka Frogs (Green). The Frogs are fighting for a bunch of green bug-eyed aliens called the Shapers who are meant to bring enlightenment (hence the name) to all humanity. The Smurfs are against that idea although I understand there is another bunch of aliens on the side of the Smurfs which is where the story becomes a little more complex. The problem I have with the story is that whatever the players do in the game it appears to have no effect upon the story line. Although I could be completely wrong on this aspect since I have not delved deeply in the back-story since the early days of my play.
This guy lasted two months and much of what he says I agree with:
http://www.baconfatlabs.com/2014/09/leaving-ingress-my-ascendency-and-decline-as-an-agent/
However I have not quit yet just playing a lot slower, I am level 14 and there is only two levels to go. Then its maxing out your badges none of which have much allure.
The upshot is that I have met a lot of new people and made some good friends in the process. The game play was good while it lasted, I liked the strategy of it.
Without giving too much away I have found it curious that Enlightened players tend towards more a chaotic style of play whereas the Resistance are more ordered.
Irony strikes again!

- Cargress - (walking can be slow)
- Traingress - (Greener especially when you do not own a car)
- Busgress - (This occurs when the trains are delayed)
- Helicoptergress (for those richer players)
- Swimgress (for those that have dry suits)
- Boatgress (for those that are either richer or have a friend with a boat)

DIY Peace
What’s the best method of creating world peace, well before you go near any practical methods you really need understand the root causes of war. If we think of war as a crime (which it is) then we could proceed by breaking the causes into three steps:
Motive, Opportunity and Means.
Motive
The grass is always greener in your neighbours garden, is this a good enough to go to war? Your neighbour’s garden has oil underneath it, simplified you are greedy.
Your neighbour believes in different things to you, is this a good enough to go to war? What does it matter what your neighbour believes, oh wait a minute because your neighbour does not believe as you do therefore your neighbour must be evil, your neighbour threatens the status quo. Is religion an excuse or a reason?
Your neighbour's Great-great-great-great grandfather killed your Great-great-great-great grandfather, therefore your neighbour is evil. This can be down to how children at brought up, the people on the other side of the wall are bad.
Tradition can be a killer of good values, it does not let people have their own experiences to become less likely to kill someone they have never met based upon something happened five generations ago.
Your neighbour is bad person, head of the government, takes from the poor and gives to the rich – that would be revolution/civil war. A coup-d'etat would be a less violent method than full blown war.
Opportunity:
Well that happens a lot due the fact we tend live next door to every other country, islands fair better than most although that normally gives way to civil wars instead. Of course through alliances with other countries you get multiple countries invading one or worst two super powers using a small country as a battleground to fight between their opposing ideologies like Vietnam and Korea. Also a perfect battleground to test new weapons and guess what we are back to greed. Are opposing ideologies an excuse?
Means
The top 6 arms exporters in the world are:
USA, Russia, China, France, Germany and the UK.
They are effectively all the super powers on the planet, if they wanted peace to occur it would be a simple method converting their weapons factories over to something useful like alternative energy supplies and recycling all weapons. Money however TALKS!
To quote one of my favourite authors Issac Asimov: “Violence is the last refuge of incompetent”
Which would make mankind staggeringly incompetent for most of its history, we have failed to learn from our mistakes. This is irony on so many levels.
Enlightenment by Resistance
Would the absence of war mean peace or just a population under control? For any civilization to develop you must have change and for change to occur you need resistance to the status quo. If everyone agrees with everyone else then all that happens is stagnation, civilizations like that are easily destroyed by simple culture shock or the degeneration into the worship of the past, loss of science etc.
Violence should never be used as a form of resistance it gives in to our most basic of instincts which is why there have been very few periods in history where there is an absence of war. Man has failed to evolve in the last ten thousand years if we had war would be non-existent by now. Perhaps ten thousand years is too short of time to expect that amount of change to achieve enlightenment?
Unfortunately for us change is violent.
