“Also, from now on, MASKS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why???” DT – June 8.
Now that Elon Musk and Doge have accessed the personal records of all Americans, from tax returns, federal benefits, Medicare, Medicaid, Veteran Administration records, disability income, housing assistance, educational history, immigration information, visas, to Social Security, student loans, and so much more, it will be centralized and connected to AI programs run by Peter Thiel and Palantir to match with facial recognition in order to fully enforce a surveillance state upon We the People. Hence no masks.
The REGIME will be able to clampdown hard on any protests or dissent, whether about the ongoing genocide in Gaza or illegal immigration raids by ICE. This technology will in turn be used against the LGBQT community, pro-abortion activists, climate change and environmental activists, women’s rights and election integrity activists, freedom of religion enthusiasts, and supporters of the separation of church and state.
The list is almost endless, and the more power they accrue, the more they will restrict free speech and liberty. Trump is already trying to shut down universities, targeting the media, law firms, his political opponents, and basically anyone that dares criticize ‘Our Dear Leader’ for being the Naked Emperor with a teeny tiny little mushroom.
They are also going to milk the assassination attempt and use it as an excuse to be hyper paranoid. They threatened to arrest former FBI director James Comey for posting the numbers 8647. Small things will be made into big things, and big things will be downplayed and ignored. We truly are entering a very strange Qhristian nationalist white supremacist twilight zone of malice and hate. Buckle up.
Just for context, California has the world’s fourth, yes 4th, largest economy. Governor Newson is also Trumps biggest nemesis, he refuses to bow, all the more reason the Fuhrer is hellbent on crushing him. Same as with President Zelensky.
REBELLION AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION: US President Donald Trump has called for 2,000 National Guard troops to be deployed to Los Angeles where protests against immigration raids have escalated. His decision to summon the National Guard overruled the authority of California Governor Gavin Newsom, who called the move “purposefully inflammatory”.
Governor Newsom, along with the LA mayor and a California congresswoman said in separate comments they believed local police could handle the protests. Twenty-nine people were arrested, according to local officials. To quell the growing unrest, Trump issued a directive under a rarely used federal law that allows the president to federalise National Guard troops under certain circumstances.
The National Guard acts as a hybrid entity that serves both state and federal interests. Typically, a state’s National Guard force is activated at the request of the governor. In this case, Trump has circumvented that step by invoking a specific provision of the US Code of Armed Services titled 10 U.S.C. 12406, which lists three circumstances under which the president can federalise the National Guard.
If the US “is invaded or is in danger of invasion by a foreign nation”; “there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion” against the government; or “the president is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States”.
Trump said in his memorandum requesting the National Guard that the protests in Los Angeles “constitute a form of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States”. According to experts, this is the first time the National Guard has been activated without request of the state’s governor since 1965.
In 1992, the National Guard was federalised in LA during riots after police officers were acquitted for the beating of black motorist Rodney King.
Then-President George HW Bush sent troops at the request of California’s governor at the time, Pete Wilson. In 2020, National Guard troops were deployed in some states in the wake of protests over the killing of George Floyd.
NONSENSE: Senior figures in the Trump administration have backed the president’s decision to mobilise the National Guard. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said on social media it was “COMMON SENSE”, adding: “Violence & destruction against federal agents & federal facilities will NOT be tolerated.”
California congresswoman Nanette Barragán, a Democrat who represents the city of Paramount in LA’s suburbs where the protests have taken place, told CNN: “We don’t need the help.”
The National Guard is “only going to make things worse,” she said.
Her words echo that of Governor Newsom, who also spoke against National Guard troops being sent to his state.
“The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle,” Newsom wrote on X. LA Mayor Karen Bass told ABC7 the National Guard’s deployment was unneeded.
THE MAD KING: The efforts are a part of the president’s aim to enact the “biggest deportation operation” in US history. Los Angeles, which has a high foreign-born population, has been a big target.
In early May, ICE announced it had arrested 239 undocumented migrants during a weeklong operation in the LA area, as overall arrests and deportations lagged behind Trump’s expectations.
The following month, the White House increased its goal for ICE officials to make at least 3,000 arrests per day.
Authorities have expanded their search increasingly to include workplaces such as restaurants and retail shops. The LA raids that sparked the protests occurred at a wholesale clothing supplier and a Home Depot outlet.
“You’re going to see more work site enforcement than you’ve ever seen in the history of this nation,” Trump’s border official Thomas Homan said.
The ambitious deportation campaign has included rounding up migrants on military planes and sending them to Guantanamo Bay, a US military detention facility accused of human rights abuses, before bringing them back to Louisiana.
Other migrants have been deported to a mega-prison in El Salvador, including at least one who was in the US legally. Some migrants have been sent to countries where they are not from. Many of these actions have been met by legal challenges in court.
