Another question is why are they moving so quickly to unilaterally disarm the US?
With chaos in the FBI, the CIA, the Defense Department and the military, destruction of alliances, and incineration of the Five Eyes, exactly how would the US prevent against or react to foreign attacks on US soil?
Sadly I think it’s probably already happening. Trump being an asset for Putin has been a conduit for infiltration for a while. It’s a completely shite situation for the citizens of America and the rest of the world.
My concern, too. Trump, Musk & their cabal, who have shown strong signs of being beholden to Putin, seem to be dismantling our government, including its security apparatus, on behalf of Putin & Xi.
This time there will be no shooting at the legs when the 99% have been robbed of their health care and social security and the economy has tanked under the Adolph Schitzhispants, JD the Hillbilly NAZI, and Elon the NAZI!! They will be kill shots!!!
Yeah I've said it before, the firing squads may not be that far away . I can picture Elon and his pack of mutant teenage muskrats prying gold fillings from their victims' teeth.
The only consolation can think of is not much consolation at all. Perhaps firing the military’s best and brightest means the best and brightest military minds are now part of the opposition.
If they gather together with Milley and others to actually do something. The Dems have been passively smoking hopium that they can work w Repubs and that they will
play by the rules. Not happenin. Time to make up new rules of resistance
My thoughts exactly . I had such High hopes the first time around when whispers were circulating about certain Military personnel and insiders within our Government secretly collaborating to protect us from some of Trump's most deranged impulses,and then meeting and discussing the options for legally getting him declared incompetent as a current threat for endangering the safety of the American people. Why they didn't forge ahead, and gather the courage to complete their directive is a mystery and grave misstep of monumental consequences and proportions. A few brave patriotic souls could have prevented what all of us are directly suffering from now. Trump had already been impeached twice,and was effectively prevented by Gen.Milley from impulsively nuking China right before he reluctantly left office in 2020. To what extreme lengths of savagery would he have been allowed to commit,before they decided enough was enough? His past history of violence and pedophilia was not a secret, nor his lack of any interest in history or decorum in regards to American leadership. What restrained them?
I guess we have our answer, because anarchy and its mayhem is unfolding right before our eyes. Those who held back from removing him,or second guessed,for whatever their logic was,are presently paying a high price for not performing their sworn duties of protecting The People of our United States of America. Instead we inherited a Putin Puppet and a deranged South African Neo Nazi oligarch who is teamed with a group of very scary unhinged psychopaths that are delighted to be a part of the annihilation of decency,integrity,and any form of security system within the executive, military or judicial branches. It seems to all be crumbling away at the hands of a handful of ignorant thugs without any sort of backlash inside our pentagon. I pray that you are correct and they are quietly and secretly gathering their forces together with those who are still loyal to our Constitution and not afraid to do battle with these amoral cretins. It's absolutely surreal and mentally incomprehensible to me that there aren't more people of long standing authority publicly declaring war on this grandstanding of dominance over our Democracy ,especially with the awareness of who and what Trump represents. I feel I must have been brainwashed by my own country all the years I was growing up in the suburban 50's 60's and 70's. I truly believed in our democratic system and pursuing the American Dream,although I wasn't so naive or ignorant about how racist and utterly Patriarchal the core of the system was and still is. BUT, what is happening now is far more dark and resonates with Hitlers playbook. Too many of our younger generation carry no awareness or education of the atrocities of a massive genocide by inhuman historical figures who are currently being glamorized and mimicked and presently successful at carrying out the exact same playbook although it's been reninvented as Project 2025.
We began this year with apprehension and outright foreboding of what was to come, but this goes far beyond the pale in my opinion. I have always stood on the side of truth and the faith that the Good in humanity will ultimately triumph over the corrupted,cowardly,sinister humans who are usually in the minority. They lack the cohesive traits to maintain loyalty,discipline and diligence along with the stability in which to dominate and control a whole country against its population's will ,but at this juncture,nothing is certain and I have no idea where solid ground is anymore. Where are our Generals? Where are our Senators? And where are all the diehard patriots who are willing to do whatever it takes to end this Surreal Nightmare of the reanimation of Hitler's New World Order?
WONDERFUL... THANK YOU...I AM SURE YOU ARE CORRECT. NOW WE NEED TO QUICKLY DEVELOP A CORP OF VETS AND ACTIVE DUTY TO TALK TO THE RANK AND FILE AND INFORM THEM OF THEIR DUTY SHOULD AN ILLEGAL ORDER COME TO ACT AGAINST THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY. This coup can't be perfected overnight. Even Hitler's coup took time. I see more and more posting for violence, but that is the Trigger for the Insurrection act and the perfection of their coup. While we need to be prepared for their violence, we cannot instigate it. I think the next act is for them to do something like Naming Mike Flynn as Director of the MAGA vigilante army and march to the border to keep the aliens out.. or some other organizing tool to see if they can put the SA into the streets.
The only people that should be considering violence are those trained and equipped and sworn to defend the constitution. The rabble (us) would only make it harder. And messier.
Trump is poking a bear. Unless I really don’t understand the military. Would they really salute the orange Hitler and obey him? I’m thinking Trump won’t be with us much longer. But they are waiting for him to get into position for a clean shot, metaphorically speaking.
Stan, my thought for awhile now, was why did Mr. T move to piss off so many CIA/FBI & now military-related public servants (not to mention the legion of others)? Seems to me those, um, super “experienced” folks would be the last folks to throw under the bus having made clear by your actions you were doing so in an effort to trash the Constitution & become a dictator king. Just wondering….
Thanks, Fred. This is vital and chilling information.
Republicans have a storied history of pulling the most egregious and illegal stuff on Friday nights but this move sets the stage for turning our military into weakened chaos and unleashed illegal brutality.
The glaring instant wealth the Tech Bros insulate their bad actors and oath-breakers in should be included with every reportage. It's a badge of craven disgrace.
I don’t know anything about the military. ThankYou for this information.
On Friday night my initial thought was Trump/Hegseth wants a military that will have no qualms about turning on American citizens.
Another question is why are they moving so quickly to unilaterally disarm the US?
With chaos in the FBI, the CIA, the Defense Department and the military, destruction of alliances, and incineration of the Five Eyes, exactly how would the US prevent against or react to foreign attacks on US soil?
Makes me curious if Putin will attempt to push Trump aside to work with Musk and expand deeper into the US and globally
Sadly I think it’s probably already happening. Trump being an asset for Putin has been a conduit for infiltration for a while. It’s a completely shite situation for the citizens of America and the rest of the world.

Mine too.

The NAZIs mined the gold teeth from their Holocaust victims and even shaved their hair off to sell!!!
That was Mr Grannon’s point
Every day brings a new fresh hell.

Excellent summary
I've thought that too.
Let’s hope
Good point

And can you imagine the scrap between Elongated and Vance for the top spot?

Always Stand up to bullies no matter how big and no matter how influential they are.
Keep fighting the good fight, Fred. "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country"
Very inciteful and very scary.
Excellent, you always bring clarity and dig into what's beneath. Thank you so much for your voice.
Ditto. Thank you Fred! This essay is so well written and incisive
Are the senators and their staffs well read enough to see this? Please make it so.
Are they too afraid to act?
…i have a fun fact for americans: if you install dictator peacefully you can not peacefully remove him
Somehow, serghiy, I think this should be a bumper sticker….😢
…it’ll outlive its purpose very shortly
🤞

Where you said: "using military forces to put down public protest and assist in mass deportations and interments." I think you meant "internments".
At least, I hope you did.
Very inciteful and very scary. I hope my senators from Nebraska, Pete Rickets and Deb Fischer, will read this.
You are 100% correct Fred.
So frightening
Can people not see that crypto is only backed by butterfly farts and the dreams of the wealthy.
And asshats like Musk want to replace the dollar with some imaginary currency.
Double the guard at Ft. Knox!
