Trump Calls Up the Marines. Democracy Is in Danger.

This afternoon, pentagonal 700 Marines revitalized He joined the military occupation of federal national guards in some Los Angeles from the Marine Corps Air Force Combat Center in Twentin Palms, California. As of mid-afternoon, no written orders were made public, but staff in U.S. Sen. Alexpadira’s office and some offices of the state’s Congressional delegation confirmed the deployment by contact details of the House and Senate Armed Forces Committee.

A source in the conversation with the governor’s office said that the local Marine commander had been “pushed back” and informed me that the Pentagon had not justified its deployment to Los Angeles. At 3 o’clock PMthere was no indication that they were on the streets of the second largest city in the country. However, President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegses seem to be determined to rope up the troops and force an ugly political agenda.

Marines are violated by the 1878 law that prevents the US military from participating in domestic law enforcement in general if they become involved in active law enforcement. Trump has not called for the Rebellion Act of 1807. It would take it away, and the president would have steep mountains to climb to prove that the LA protests constituted a real rebellion. Marines are clearly unfolding against nonexistent emergencies and nonexistent rebellions and nonexistent invasions as political stunts to strengthen Trump’s anti-immigration agenda.

The last time the Marines were deployed on the streets of LA was in 1992. This has sparked many square miles of the city and killed dozens in response to the Rodney King riots. In contrast, today, Marines are being revitalized against the wishes of the California governor, with local law enforcement agencies taking the situation clearly and California has a clear situation. Sue the federal government End the federation of the National Guard.

After using the National Guard deployment provocation to turn the majority peaceful protest against the ICE workplace raid into a chaotic uprising, Trump and Heggs once again pulled up the Ante. They began the process of introducing US troops into crowd-controlled situations in dense urban environments. As Trump knows and enjoys it increases the chances of significant bloodshed.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the US president is willing to create chaos that justifies the massacre, justifying the massacre, for political point scoring.

Dealing with domestic enemies to use US troops is something that happened regularly in US soils, for example, when the military is used to kill union organizers and Native Americans, resisting conquest of the land, but not in recent decades. Certainly, there was a generational consensus that unlike totalitarian regimes such as Russia and China, the US military should not be used as domestic murder squads and their countries. do Using the military, domestic dissenters do so in a clear violation of international norms.

With more stakes raised, Trump answered questions Monday afternoon about whether Fox News correspondent Peter Doucy was the border emperor. Tom Homan should arrest California Gov. Gavin Newsom By saying that he should be and that it will be a “great” move on the part of Homan. “I like Gavin Newsom. He’s a good guy, but he’s grossly incompetent. Everyone knows,” the gang president was found guilty of 34 felony and charged with dozens more.

Sources of communication with Newsom staff told me that Newsom took the threat seriously and was discussing with top aides about how he would respond if he was arrested.

Again: Margin to totalitarianism teeth It’s happening here, and it teeth It’s happening now. Trump is stealing from the playbooks of all modern leaders who have tried to puttsch authoritarian. He creates false emergencies and then implements real military intervention. Los Angeles is today’s victim. You can bet that it’s not the only thing for the coming weeks, months and years.
