The Military vs The People

I can feel it coming! The clash (not the band) between the government controlled military and the people of the U.S.

It starts with the “President?” claiming there are riots in California by people wanting to leave sanctuary cities. I live in California, I haven’t seen any rioting, haven’t heard anything on the news, from friends, nothing! This is a clear case of the the “President?” beginning the journey to a military state. He will continue to convince people that the country is on the verge of anarchy. And of course anarchy needs to be dealt with in harsh manners.

Now we hear that the caravan coming from Honduras is full of criminals, drug dealers, killers, etc.. Will there be a showdown at the border? The thousands of people making this march across thousands of miles have already faced blockades at the Mexican border city of Tapachula. Mike Pompeo stated that the caravan is using women and children “as shields as they make their way through (Mexico).” And “This is an organized effort to come through and violate the sovereignty of Mexico, We’re prepared to do all that we can to support the decisions that Mexico makes about how they’re going to address this very serious and important issue to their country.”

The “President?” had this to say about what would happen if Mexico doesn’t stop the caravan: “If that doesn’t work out, we’re calling up the military, not the guard, we’re calling up the military and we’re going to have the military stationed, They’re not coming into this country. They might as well turn back.”

The “president” is now equating Democrats with unruly mobs. Saying that anyone that votes for Democrats are crazy. Claims of violence and mayhem pepper his speeches. All the while he gloats over how Greg Gianforte’s body slam of Ben Jacobs help win the race for the Republican. Approval of violence when it suits his cause while stating that the other side is creating the violence.

We have long seen the admiration, even love the “president?” has for ruthless dictators. Adoring Putin, Kim Jung-un and the King and Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. Accepting the explanation of Jamul Khashoggi’s death is abhorrent. Once saying during a campaign that he loves the Saudis, they give him lots of money for apartments. And even in the face of the Crown Prince, MBS, once stating he had Jared Kushner in his “back pocket”, he still loves his despots. Remember when he said that he and Kim Jung-un “fell in love“. These are his people, his role models, his cohorts on the road to power.

These statements and more are leading the way towards full dictatorship. Convincing the citizens of upcoming violent revolution and anarchy is the way that dictators slowly take control. Pitting one side against the other is the only way that such an agenda can take hold. We must, as a country, not allow this type of action to become the norm. History shows what is in store for us.
