War is peace. Ignorance is strength. Freedom is slavery.
The Orwellian gaslighting has kicked into overdrive in recent weeks.
We voted for the “Peace President” but we got the “War President.”
He renamed the Department of Defense the Department of War, and ever since it seems all he wants to talk about is war.
- War on Venezuela is imminent, under the guise of drug interdiction.
- War with Russia is imminent because Trump has greenlighted Ukraine to launch U.S. long-range missiles deep into Russian territory. That’s an act of war and Putin knows these strikes would be impossible without Western governments not only supplying the missiles but also the targeting data and intelligence. Each time a missile sails into Russia from Ukraine, it will be seen by the Russians as compliments of America and Europe.
- Another round of the Israel-Iran war with American backing of Israel also seems imminent.
But here’s the most disturbing one of all: President Trump warned the country’s top ranking military officials Tuesday that they could be headed to “war” with U.S. citizens.
It’s hard to overestimate the ramifications if Trump wins the legal battles taking shape that will try to prevent the federal government from using the military against its own people.
Do we really want soldiers trained to kill foreign enemies to police American streets? There is a huge difference between military training and law enforcement training. We are about to find out if they can bridge the gap. All sorts of nightmarish risks hang in the balance.
In his address to over 800 top military generals and admirals Tuesday, Trump said:
“What they’ve done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles – they’re very unsafe places, and we’re going to straighten them out one by one. That’s a war, too. It’s a war from within.”
Military commanders should use American cities as “training grounds,” the president went on to say.
The Los Angeles Times reports that “Trump’s words provoked instant pushback. Oregon has already filed a legal challenge, and experts expressed concern that what the president described is against the law.”
Larry Johnson, a former CIA analyst, joined retired Lt. Col. Daniel Davis in discussing the dangers of Trump deploying U.S. military forces into U.S. cities… “I specifically explain the profound difference, based on personal experience, between a military mindset and a law enforcement mindset,” Johnson said. They also discussed Tuesday’s meeting in Quantico, Virginia, of 850 U.S. generals and admirals who were called to attend in person from all over the world. What was the real reason for this meeting?
“How the military thinks about a problem is very different from how law enforcement thinks about a problem,” Johnson pointed out.
Here’s the biggest difference: When police officers encounter resistance, they are trained to deescalate the situation. When the military encounters resistance, they are trained to escalate. “You don’t say, hey, mister bad man, would you put your rifle down and let’s talk?”
