The Billionaires' Tea Party...

another reminder of what we're up against and how it came about. I find the more reminders, refreshers and understanding I have of what we're up against the more effective I am. We have to fight this coup...that's how I see it...this is a coup d'etat.

This is done by an Aussie...less than an hour...worth a watch anytime you want to remember or be energized.

A "coop" is a place to put your chickens. The word you're looking for is "coup," which is short for "coup d'etat."

coup d'état (ˈkuː deɪˈtɑː, French ku deta)
— n , pl coups d'état
a sudden violent or illegal seizure of government

Just helpin' out....
