Trump, Making Insurrections Out of Thin Air

BY THE TIME Trump is finished deploying military forces to Los Angeles, there will be a concentration of troops in southern California exceeding thte total number deployed in Viet Nam at the height of American involvement in that civil war. In 198, the U.S. had more than half a million man army in that country. So far, a few hundred Marines and a couple thousand National Guardspeople have arrived in L.A.. Not a bad start to a massive invasion, but utterly useless in dealing with a peaceful, lawful protest, other than to add anger and protestors and turn them violent. The point being, Trump's actions in recent days regarding events in Los Angeles are irrational, indeed insane, turning a relatively harmless sitatuation into one truly dangerous and chaotic. Create the problem, solve it. Fan the flames, put out the fire. Take credit. Let's compare emergencies. On January 6, 2021, a violent, well armed mob of insurrectionists attacked and ransacked the nation's capitol building, killing half a dozen people and nearly succeeding in overthrowing the United States government, on behalf of Trump, who sat in the White Hosue as president for hours, watching the insurrection on television, encouraging it, doing noghint to stop it. Now, in the city of angels, a group of largely peaceful people stage several dsys of peaceful protests against the Trump administration's blatantly illegal deportation project, with an army of gestapo-like I.C.W. thugs knocking down doors and dragging people out into their front yards, and throwing them out of the country. Trump claims it is an insurrection, and sends in the army, illegally. Thus goes our fascist leader's attempt to manufacture not one insurrection, but two. The peaceful protest in California Trump calls an insurrection, then seeks to turn it into precisely that. This is fascism at its most hideous best, straight out of the Hitlerian playbook. The powers of state concentrated in teh hands of an elected dictator, for safekeeping. Trump, der fuhrer, using the American military as a police force to govern the nation by force and ensure the the implementation of his fascist agenda. This is not a panicked, hysteriacl reaction to normal circumstances. Calling Trump as fascist ruler is no longer an exaggeration. Its reality. Is it not a law, a law passed in 1877, which says that it is unlawful to employ the regular United States armed forces in police actions within the borders of these United States? Into many American cities might our criminal president send military forces to disrupt protests against his fascist authoritarian administration? The precedent has now been set, without any apparent opposition, other than the lawsuit agaisnt Trump now filed by the governor of California. Ho hum. If there isany justice left in the United States, Trump will. sooner rather than later, facecriminal charges, conviction, and punishment. The proper and appropriate penalty for insurrection against the United States government, of which Trump is guilty beyond any reasonable doubt, is death. And, more than ever, more than at any point in his now ten year old political career, those who support Trump are, merely by virtue of their support for treason and crime, criminals and traitors.
