They will be so busy chasing the imagined terrorists they will completely miss the actual terrorists. The USA has never been in such danger

Gonna have to target Rand Paul, Laura Loomer. Loomer on boat strikes: ‘Fentanyl isn’t being manufactured in Venezuela’?

Here in Baghdad By the Sea, we have a schism in our MAGAT delegation:

Miami [Republican] Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar on Sunday called the Trump administration’s latest immigration crackdown “un-American” in a biting statement to the Miami Herald.

It is well known that fentanyl isn't being manufactured in Venezuela, nor is it a source of Cocaine, that comes from Bolivia and Columbia.

It is all a ruse, an excuse to bring Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela to heel

Heres the plan, actually revealed in the National Security Strategy :https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-National-Security-Strategy.pdf#:~:text=President%20Trump%20has%20proven%20that,least%20the%20end%20of%20the

Here is what it looks like:https://digital.library.cornell.edu/catalog/ss:34227574

Russia gets Eurasia and China East Asia and the western Pacific

The global south to be exploited for natural resources, and of course a battle ground as the hegemon's compete for resources.

I printed that Technate of America map several months ago and stuck it up on the fridge, after reading about Elon Musk's grandfather's ties to it, in an article by Gil Duran (The Nerd Reich)

What bothers me is that there is no discussion about it, anywhere, Also Trump has been able to move the Epstein files off the news, by bombing fishing boats. Soon it will go the way of the Mueller Files, the Documents case, any and all things Trump

Trump tried to sell out Ukraine to Putin, with that Putin originated 28 Points, failing that he is going to use his National Security Strategy of Nov 2025, Here is one analysis of it: https://www.mind-war.com/p/national-insecurity-strategy-the

He calls Europe weak, say it is going to be a shithole and basically hands it over to Putin: https://www.mind-war.com/p/national-insecurity-strategy-the

Thank you Thom that was a real eye opener. Is NSPM-7 the tool Trump, Bondi, GOP, will use to keep us bad guys from voting? Skip old fashioned gerrymandering and label anyone against them subversives and therefore undeserving of the right to vote. In my estimation Trump and friends are simply a criminal organization, they have no intention of having free and fair elections. Losing would end their gravy train. Guess I'll check and see if I've been removed from the voter roll.

Last week, Trump also released the new National Security Strategy, which basically cedes Europe to Russia. Among other things. https://www.csis.org/analysis/national-security-strategy-good-not-so-great-and-alarm-bells

Basically it is Orwellian, Oceania being the Technate of America: https://digital.library.cornell.edu/catalog/ss:34227574 this link is a map. Notice it includes Greenland and Canada, and Ecuador,Colombia and Venezuela (the three countries that he is attacking).

The technate doesn't have to rule by imposing a government, but by satrapy, just as Persia once ruled most of the known world..

You can even consider the 50 states as satraps, and to that I mention that the White House has 51 Xmas trees, but only 50 states, guess which is the 51st: Canada.

No. Kushner/Saudi Arabia is our 51st state. Making the war discussion in Ukraine/Russia transactional (Saudi Arabia gets something out of their transaction), and now the possible hostile takeover of WB. And this is while Kushner is an advisor to Trump. Oh, what does that matter, they say in response. What’s a little money between friends? Huh?

In this context it is Canada. Trump has not ever declared that he wanted to annex Israel,and Israel is not contiguous, also not a Xtian oriented Xmas tree.

While I consider myself anti Zionist, and totally opposed to the current Trumpian government, but not the state of israel. your comment is a little to antisemitic for me (and I abhor that made up word)

Giving them an earful.....

We fought a pipeline. It was a Canadian owned project. The corporation hired ex-military people to investigate us. We found out when there was an article in The Guardian. My joke was that I wanted them to listen to calls and read emails, so they could learn something about the environment.

No joke this time. At least we know, thanks to Thom and others. Pretty sure Thom already had an FBI file, hopefully they will archive every Hartmann Report and maybe some of them will take to heart what is in them. FBI agents are college educated and law enforcement. Some are going to resist, report, and maybe do "other things". Allegedly.

Who will watch the watchers? We will. We won't forget these crimes. See you in the streets.

You place to much faith in education and professionalism Alis. It is the FBI that persecuted MLK, investigated "antifa" and BLM, and leftist activist, while ignoring right wing seditionists.

The FBI is, and always has been, and enclave of right wing extremists

Now besides being a harbor right wingers, it is staffed with sycophants. Didn't you see the FBI logos on jackets that were arresting Latino's in LA.

They will come for you, Thom, as a major voice telling the truth and warning about the facsist takeover, before they come for me. I suppose there will be a time when even very minor voices warning about Trump like me will be on the list. Maybe they will decide to sanitize Portland and herd us into a big bad bus for a major photo op as they disappear us, so we'll meet up again.

I started being concerned about Thoughtcrime back when His Orangeness first started having stuff pulled out of the Smithsonian for "improper ideology." At the time, nobody else seemed to find that phrase alarming. Okay, better late than never. I started doing research on Supreme Court opinions involving "viewpoint discrimination," which is what lawyers call Thoughtcrime, and what (until recently) we used to consider protected by the First Amendment.

So, i guess the essential question is, when will a sufficient number of people recognize just how mind-boggingly stupid and dangerous these people are and rise up to stop them with whatever it takes? How totally divorced from reality does one have to be to even imagine that they can wave their magic wand and 20 million people will be removed from this massive country and many more will be severely limited in their speech and movement and their participation in activities they like or consider important before those same people and others put them in a cell or a box and close the lid? It is true that Native American Indians were killed off centuries ago. But to believe that ethnic cleansing and "purifying the race" and deporting ten or 15% of the population will ever happen is to be bat-s*** crazy and certifiable. Trump, Musk, Vance, Theil, etc., etc., all live in an alternate universe and are crying out to be stopped. We may be approaching the number of people who see how insane they truly are and will take action, but can we get to the magic number soon enough or will the action taken be adequate? I do not think we can wait for the 2026 elections. (Are you listening, Ms. Bondi? Come and get me.)

The ICE budget provides approximately $75 billion to ICE over four years (through September 30, 2029) in supplemental appropriations, which is in addition to its standard annual budget of around $10 billion. This sum nearly triples the agency's previous annual funding.

The funds are earmarked for specific areas of immigration enforcement:

Detention Capacity: $45 billion is dedicated to expanding ICE's detention system, including building new facilities for single adults and families. This funding could potentially double the agency's detention capacity to over 100,000 individuals.

Enforcement and Removals: Nearly $30 billion is allocated for operations related to arrests and deportations, including the hiring of 10,000 new ICE officers and personnel.

$40 billion builds a lot of concentration camps, more than enough to hold more than just immigrants, but also enemies of the state. Which is what Trump and the techfascists declare us.

Push is coming to shove as more and more Americans are waking up to this new reality. Since Americans typically get to a point that enough is enough and do things about it, it's coming. Voting isn't going to help much anymore as the red states are gerrymandering like crazy and Trump is decertifying voting machines in cities and states he doesn't like.

We're near the point where the only thing left to do is nationwide labor strikes and protests that seriously disrupt the economic engines of the country. And yes, we can expect Trump to declare martial law and send out the troops. We have to be prepared for that also. It will come down to Americans fighting Americans eventually. There is no longer any doubt. We're sort of there now with the resistance picking up against ICE and CBP picking up.

Chris Armitage keeps writing about a soft secession that needs to take place. I watched a segment on MS Now that interviewed someone also mentioning this. It is beginning to register that the state governments are going to have to step up and start separating themselves from Trump's federal government in order to provide for their citizens and in order to do that, they will have to start holding onto the money they are sending to Washington D.C. in order to do that. There are laws on the books, supposedly, that allow for that.

Is that where we're heading? For a break up of the union in order for the states to take back their autonomy as granted to them in the constitution? It's certainly starting to look like certain states run by democrats may end up backed into a corner so badly by Trump, that they are forced into making one of two choices. Give Trump what he wants or do a soft secession in order to protect it's citizens. What will you do if your state government decides to defy Trump? Will you be prepared to make the adjustments that something like this will force on people? Or will you migrate to a state that caves to Trump and everyone loses what's left of our civil rights?

Americans are very close to being forced to make one of two choices. Give up your constitutional freedoms and try to live your normal life under authoritarianism or fight and stand a chance on having to make sacrifices for the cause of freedom. If you had to make such a choice, what would you do? How far are you willing to go in order to remain free?

Just one: he claimed to be living at 3 different residences to avoid paying taxes - He himself claims that is a Federal Crime.

No need to blow them up, and anyway if they planted explosives in all cell phones, they can't control who they go to, and they could blow themselves up.The US is not Lebanon

What should alarm you all is that your cell phone can be used to track your movements, and everything that you send out, DM or say on your cell phone and even your tablet or computer, is stored in the National Security Data center in Bluffdale, AZ and immediately screened, flagged and tagged by AI.

In other words if you comunicate electronically, they know all about you. I think there is a problem they have with land lines, the comms of land lines that get sent out over the air, is captured, but they can't trace them back to the telephone, for that they need an old fashioned wire tap.

The dark forces dream of destroying the lives of the people while they have orgasms at the destruction they inflict. When law is put back in place these nuts will all be rounded up for crimes against humanity and the Constitution. They know they are doing wrong because most of what they are doing they do in the dark. ICE as the new SS troops will all go into prison and likely never come out unless there is a reconciliation program like South Africa did. It maybe that Krasnov will not last out this year. He is very unlikely to last out the next year so I doubt he will be able to inflict his dark dreams. The Chosen One is here and the dragons will support the people over tyranny. Praise God from whom all Blessing flow.
