Beyond the Law: What It Means to Weaponize the Government
John & Nisha Whitehead
President Trump’s declaration of war as a justification for using wartime powers to sidestep constitutional protections is indeed a war, but it is a war waged by the president against dissent, against due process, and against the very foundations of our constitutional republic.
This is what it means to weaponize the government.
When the government turns its power against its own people—through surveillance, retaliation, censorship, and intimidation—it ceases to serve the public and instead becomes a weapon of oppression.
According to the Political Dictionary:
“The term ‘weaponize’ refers to the strategic manipulation or transformation of information, institutions, or social issues into tools for gaining political advantage. This could involve exploiting existing laws, harnessing social media algorithms for disinformation campaigns, or turning otherwise neutral or benign elements of governance into divisive issues for the purpose of delegitimizing opponents or rallying a base.”
Time and again, leaders have stretched—or outright shattered—the limits of power, weaponizing government power through unjust laws, surveillance, or outright suppression.
Each power grab is a step toward the erosion of liberty.
John Adams used the Alien and Sedition Acts to prosecute journalists and political opponents.
Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus, allowing the military to detain individuals without trail and suppressing Confederate sympathizers and political dissenters.
Under Woodrow Wilson, the Espionage and Sedition Acts were used to crack down on anti-war activists, socialists, and labor organizers, including Eugene V. Debs, who spoke out against World War I.
Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an executive order that led to the internment of over 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II, based on suspicions of disloyalty, despite little to no evidence.
Richard Nixon harnessed the power of the FBI, CIA, and IRS, to harass, spy on and sabotage his political opponents and perceived enemies.
Spanning numerous presidential administrations, from FDR to Nixon, the FBI’s covert intelligence program COINTELPRO was used to infiltrate, discredit and disrupt civil rights leaders, anti-war activists, and other political dissidents.
In a bid to fight so-called disinformation, Biden pressured social media companies to censor and suppress individuals expressing views perceived as conspiratorial or extremist, especially as they related to COVID-19.
And then there’s Donald Trump, who is setting new records for how far he’s willing to go to retaliate against his perceived enemies and sidestep the rule of law.
Indeed, Ken Hughes, an investigative journalist who spent two decades listening to Richard Nixon’s Secret White House Tapes, has concluded that Nixon’s abuses of presidential power—which included weaponizing the government to “sabotage Vietnam peace talks to damage the Democrats’ 1968 presidential campaign, to time his withdrawal from Vietnam to help his 1972 reelection campaign, and to spring former Teamsters president Jimmy Hoffa from prison in return for the union’s political support”—pale beside Trump’s abuses.
Trump, who once vowed to end government overreach and the weaponization of the federal government, now openly uses its full force against his critics, dismantling democratic norms, consolidating power in ways that defy the Constitution, and directing an all-out weaponization of the federal government against his perceived enemies, which translates to anyone who dares to oppose him.
If Trump were just a petty blowhard, that would be one thing.
Unfortunately, having populated his administration with individuals more loyal to him than to the Constitution, Trump is getting drunk on power.
The danger is not so much Trump as it is his enablers-to-abuse, the many minions within his administration and beyond who are eager to carry out unlawful orders, defy the courts, ignore Congress’ mandate, trample rights, and butcher the Constitution, all in the so-called name of putting America first.
If this keeps up, America, once looked upon as a bastion of freedom and economic opportunity, will be the last place anyone ever thinks of when they hear the words freedom, justice and equality.
Every action taken by the Trump administration in defiance of the rule of law—whether or not that action is motivated by a legitimate concern for national security—pushes us that much closer to the complete dismantling of our constitutional republic.
Don’t be so carried away by fear-inducing tales of rapists and foreign invaders and corruption that you let the government get away with murder… the painful execution of our rights.
That way lies tyranny.
You can see the pattern forming already.
When anti-war protesters are made to disappear—snatched up late at night by plain-clothes men who refuse to identify themselves and then transported thousands of miles away, to a private prison in a state more favorable to dubious detentions—we are wading deep into authoritarian territory.
When Venezuelan migrants are rounded up and deported out of the country, heads shaven and in chains, without any due process—without being identified, without being charged formally with a crime, without getting a chance to plead their innocence against those charges and, if found guilty, then convicted—we are wading deep into authoritarian territory.
When major law firms are barred from interacting with federal agencies or entering federal buildings—an outright attempt to chill First Amendment activity and hamstring businesses that challenge government overreach—we are wading deep into authoritarian territory.
When huge swaths of our nation’s history (including the Constitution and Bill of Rights) are being erased from websites, government buildings, archives, educational curriculum—in the so-called name of combatting discrimination—we are wading deep into authoritarian territory.
When Trump administration sycophants from the vice president on down are openly deriding and defying the courts while proclaiming the imperial supremacy of their exalted leader, we are wading deep into authoritarian territory.
When the president of the United States threatens other nations militarily, talks openly about seizing foreign lands, stirs up international tensions, and rattles the war drums, we are wading deep into authoritarian territory.
Trump, adept at twisting facts and spinning lies, is working hard to insist that these end-runs around the rule of law are for our safety.
Don’t believe him. Words are cheap.
More importantly, don’t trust him. Bind him down with the chains of the Constitution.
The only real protection we have against tyranny is the rule of law, provided that you have a populace and a system of government that holds the rule of law as inviolable.
That is our real power: the extent to which we hold fast to the Constitution and demand that the government and its agents do so, as well.
The moment that we relent in that commitment—the moment that we look the other way and let first a few encroachments slide, then ever more and more—is the moment that the Constitution loses its power to protect us against tyranny.
That is what is unfolding right now.
This is the devil’s bargain that we are being asked to enter into with Trump: empty promises and a one-way street to a dictatorship in exchange for our freedoms.
Watch out.
When any politician claims to be saving you money by imposing tariffs that ramp up inflation and cutting government programs aimed at educating the masses, feeding the hungry, and helping the poor, disabled and elderly, all the while spending taxpayer money on his own lavish lifestyle and self-serving government programs, you’d better beware. Your hard-earned dollars will be next in line to be seized, spent and squandered.
When any politician suggests that you relinquish your freedoms—of speech, assembly, due process, association, etc.—in exchange for promises of greater security, you’d better beware. Your freedoms will be next on the chopping block.
When any politician persuades you to look the other way while innocent individuals are rounded up alongside suspected criminals just because they look a certain way or talk a certain way or belong to a particular demographic, you’d better beware. Your right to due process will be next.
When any politician comes up with a vast array of reasons why he doesn’t need to obey court rulings—because they were issued verbally, because his power trumps that of the courts, because he doesn’t need to follow the law outside America’s borders—you’d better beware. This shifty reasoning for breaking the law could be used against you next.
There can be no doubt about the nature of what is taking place right now.
This is war.
President Trump’s justification for defying the courts and doing whatever he wants in pursuit of his political agenda (arresting protesters, carrying out mass arrests and deportations, muzzling critics, seizing funds, dismantling agencies, usurping congressional powers) is that “this is war.”
Here’s the thing, though: Trump may be using his war powers as commander-in-chief to bypass the Constitution at every turn, but the only war being waged is a war against the Constitution and the rule of law and the American people.
Congress, which has the sole power to declare war under Article I, Section 8, Clause 11, has yet to do so. And still Trump is using the emergency wartime powers of the presidency to sidestep accountability and due process.
In ruling after ruling, the courts, which have the judicial power to rein in overreach and misconduct, are repeatedly declaring unconstitutional the Trump administration’s steady dismantling of the government and refusal to stay within the purview of his official powers. And still Trump is unilaterally hacking away at the very foundations of our system of government.
If the president refuses to be held accountable, if he insists that his power is supreme, if he abuses the power of his office to wreak havoc and revenge, if he reduces our republic to rubble and tramples over the Constitution and disregards the rule of law, he is aligning himself with every despot, dictator and tyrant to have walked the earth.
We’ve been here before. We know how this story ends.
It takes time and effort and a willingness on the part of “we the people” to look beyond our differences and stand united in opposition to oppression, but when we do that, freedom prevails in the end.
Next year will be the 250th anniversary of the birth of this country, when America’s founders declared their independence from King George’s tyranny. What’s just as important, however, is what came before that: the small steps of rebellion, resistance and outrage that said, “enough is enough.”
What we are now experiencing is a civil war, devised and instigated in part by the Deep State.
The objective: compliance and control.
The strategy: destabilize the economy, polarize the populace, escalate racial and political tensions, intensify the use of violence, and then, when all hell breaks loose, clamp down on the nation for the good of the people and the security of the nation.
The outcome for this particular conflict is already foregone: the Deep State wins.
The Deep State wins by ensuring that we are censored, silenced, muzzled, gagged, zoned out, caged in and shut down. It wins by monitoring our speech and activities for any sign of “extremist” activity. It wins by ensuring that we are estranged from each other and kept at a distance from those who are supposed to represent us. It wins by saddling us with taxation without representation and a government without the consent of the governed.
It wins by terminating the Constitution (or rewriting the Constitution).
So where does that leave us?
“We” may have contributed to our downfall through our inaction and gullibility, but we are also the only hope for a free future.
After all, the Constitution begins with those three beautiful words, “We the people.”
Those three words were intended as a reminder to future generations that there is no government without us: our sheer numbers, our muscle, our economy, our physical presence in this land.
When we forget that, when we allow the “Me” of a self-absorbed, narcissistic, politically polarizing culture to override our civic duties as citizens to collectively stand up to tyranny and make the government play by the rules of the Constitution, that is when tyranny rises and freedom falls
Remember, there is power in numbers.
Not the kinds of numbers that Trump likes to spout about landslide victories and electoral mandates, but the most powerful numbers of all: the sheer, overwhelming mass of humanity that is “we the people” of these United States of America.
If there is any means left to us for thwarting the government in its relentless march towards outright dictatorship, it rests with us.
Ultimately, that’s what the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution is all about: it affirms that “we the people” have all the power, and what powers we do not explicitly give to the federal government or the states, we retain. We may appoint government representatives to act in our stead, but we never relinquish that power altogether.
That’s where Trump and his Deep State handlers get it wrong. Speaking through him and his administration, they claim that this dismantling of the federal government is a bid to return power to local communities and state governments, but it’s not their government to dismantle, nor is it their power to return.
We are the government, and we are the power, and it’s time “we the people” reminded the government and its henchmen of that important fact.
The power still lies with us.
We must resist every attempt to erode our freedoms, demand accountability, and uphold the Constitution—before it’s too late.
It’s time to invalidate governmental laws, tactics and policies that are illegitimate, egregious or blatantly unconstitutional.
Nullify everything the government does that flies in the face of the Constitution.
Flood your representatives’ phone lines, inboxes and townhall meetings with your discontent.
Protest everything that tramples on the Constitution.
Stand up for your own rights, of course, but more importantly, stand up for the rights of those with whom you might disagree.
Defend freedom at all costs. Defend justice at all costs. Make no exceptions based on race, religion, creed, politics, immigration status, sexual orientation, etc.
Don’t play semantics. Don’t justify. Don’t politicize it.
If it carries even a whiff of tyranny, oppose it.
Demand that your representatives in government cut you a better deal, one that abides by the Constitution and doesn’t just attempt to sidestep it. That’s their job: make them do it.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, all freedoms hang together. They fall together, as well.

It bears consideration that the nascent Soviet Union dismantled decentralized, locally-elected, community soviets (councils) in the midst of the invasion by Russia’s former allies in “the Great War” against Germany. The threat of subversion and invasion would be used as a pretext to centralize governmental control under autocratic rule by the time of Lenin’s death in 1924 and Stalin’s rise to power by 1925, the very year that the “allies” withdrew their armed forces (totalling more than 125,000) from Russian territory. The internal threat posed by the benefactors of the legacy monarchy and foreign intervention certainly placed the soviet government in a state of wartime emergency justifying the “dictatorship of the proletariat”.
please, if you’re going to tick off a list of past government misdeeds, from John Adams to Cryptkeeper Joe, all of which, by the way, seem substantially worse than anything the current POTUS is being drubbed for here, could we also hear about how each of those slides toward tyranny was miraculously nipped in the bud by swarms of civic-minded avengers waving their copies of the Constitution in the faces of the freedom-crushing storm troopers? is that how it went down with the WWII prison camps, COINTELPRO, etc?
seems like a lot of Donkey party talking points to sow the seeds of Impeachment 2.0, no?
HELLO…Not a mention of the Biden administrations perversion of government the last for years…TDS at its finest
The disUnited Snakes is an open seething sewer and it has been for centuries. The ZionaZi filth that own the Orange Polyp and control the resources of Rancho Goyim are genociding the Semitic people of Palestine, applauded and financed by most of the Euro peon mutts, especially the Nazis in Berlin. Now this maniacal deluded filth is intent on war against Iran. Hopefully if it comes to that Iran can erase the ZionaZi abomination occupying Palestine for once and for eternity. This is bad and it will end worse as the evil EUSSR comes apart now that Mother Russia is cleaning up the toxic sludge in rump Ukraine. Onward to the all new new world order without the entitled warmongers that have brought humainty this inevitable collapse.
the rule of law did not help America gain independence from the British
Joint Statement on Protecting Children from Gender Ideology
17 March 2025
This joint statement has been endorsed by over 70 organizations from across five continents.

We may thank the Orange One after all.
Notice that all the “conservative” and “Christian” CSOs across the world, especially in the “advanced” countries, are quiet on this subject.
This column makes a certain amount of sense when applied to ANY of the last 75 years of Western developed countries and ANY of the mainstream Governments that ruled the World… All Power corrupts…. In America, the Federal Reserve, and the deregulation of the Banking Industry ( Clinton abolishes Glass-Steagal), has brought us 30 years later to $100 TRILLION in debt and no way out…
Musk and the other Technocrats and FIRE Sector Billionaires have brought us to the beginning of the AGI transition… Automation and AGI are eliminating 70% of all the jobs that the bottom 80% of the population are qualified to perform… By 2030, UBI ( Basically, “The DOLE”) will be necessary ( Musk knows this, he’s creating alot of the systems/Neurolink Chips ) to keep the bottom 80% from constant Civil War…
For these 4 years, if he survives the entire term, Trump will star in this REAL LIFE “Truman Show” running his usual FIRE Sector (FI-REAL ESTATE) grift as the President, then retire to his Golf Course and his Trophy Wife…
2028 will be Vance against Gavin Newsome and the “Show” will go on in a much-more common “Professional Politician” Hustle… The American Sheeple are much more comfortable settling-into that Con as they order tonite’s Door Dash Meal and pay for it in 4 “Easy” Payments….
“BEND-OVER-EVERYONE” !!!!!!!!!!! HaHaHaaaaaahahahahahahaaaaa………
Aside from all that, the consequences of the federal reserves monetary policy over the past 100 years is beginning to scare the children.
It’s worth taking a few minutes at least to pause and consider all of what’s playing out on different levels of reality.. As for me, we’ve lost the capacity for that on a wider cultural scale.. Which is, of course, symptomatic of the dumbing down that’s been systematically employed for many generations.. Domineering colonial forces done their worst to make sure that wisdom keepers and seers were destroyed.. The ones who were genuinely capable of guiding people back to the Infinite Intelligence and Benevolent Creative Power which is within each and every one of us..
Humans, for so long have been conditioned to project their sovereign power onto phony external authority figures.. Whether they be religious, political or scientific.. Or in more recent times celebrities… And of course our parents/caregivers and teachers at school… The software of our mind is programmed beyond our infantile control by each and every one
We’re so far into that as a species we have become truly lost to our true magnificence.. But deep down we know.. In every moment there is a pulse from our Deepest Self.. Attempting to pierce through the dense layers of conditioning which have buried the Self.. The good news is.. The Deep Self can never die and it can never be corrupted.. Finding the way back is difficult though as we must move through the complexity which is the hall of distorted mirrors in the mind and confront all of the false constructs we’ve been led to identify with.. We must redefine mental/emotional breakdowns as “breakthroughs.”
It seems easier for most folk to continue with what’s familar, even when that keeps us in suffering and intensifies the suffering.. And for that we need an external authority figure to project our gold onto.. Someone to project our faith and our hope onto..
The media machine makes sure that people are hypnotised into believing that this politician or billionaire is going to save the world and ease your suffering and give you everything you need to be happy.. Even for folk who have begun to see through the media programming due to its incredibly crass nature now, there exists a nihilistic confusion, due to having been conditioned within a culture on such a deep unconscious level, to believe that “I need someone to make me whole.. Someone who is powerful.. More powerful than me… Someone who seems to have life sorted.. etc” Once we see through that illusion then where do we go.. It can be difficult to move through the phase of ‘no man’s land’ with enthusiasm and curiosity of adventure.
For me.. That’s the gift of our current state and i perceive that Life is manifesting such chaos and absurdity within the institutions of authority which have held power for so long over the masses, to the point where it’s absolutely clear that not one ounce of faith or hope can be projected onto any of them..
In amidst that.. It’s so important that we gain clarity that we are being asked to embark on what Joseph Campbell called the “Hero’s Journey.”
There are many wise mentors and guides amongst us who aren’t perfect for sure, but they have the awareness and humility to acknowledge that… Still.. They’ve been following The Way for a long time and can help us to clarify vision and make sense out of the worldly chaos.
We need them now.. We need to be sitting in circle again, with our peers and be engaging in the spiritual practises of remembering.. Of tending our grief.. Dissolving our delusions.. Connecting deeply on a somatic level with Nature as our wisest ancestors did, many generations ago.
The political system is a massive sinking ship and it’s understandable that we are enraged, confused and in a state of panic.. Keep remembering to come back.. To feeling what you’re feeling.. Mastering the breath.. Come to the knowing that on one level the big ship going down is a massive catastrophe, but amidst it all there’s an invitation to evolve and begin again.. Just make sure you recognise the Life boats and get on one of them as soon as you can.. Stop fighting and wrestling with the lost cause of keeping the ship afloat.. It’s going down.
Sounds perfectly logical Spock.
Labour’s “attachment to welfare”

Yes, cutting benefits while increasing military spending are in the process of being re-defined as what true Labour ideology is.
Tough choices. 🗣
Balancing the books is reason of 10.000 civil service job cuts. 💩
over in the states, the veterans who voted are getting benefits cuts medy care cuts and make american great again and 100.000 + job cuts to curb bureaucracies.

What ist “chauvinism”, has it something to to mit Derek Chauvin? Or with Anglo-American centuries of never ending wars/imperialism/colonialism?
Hitler’s war in the East was was not as “racial” against Slavs, as it is claimed. It was ideological (like that of the “Allies” against Germany, though “American” Jews wanted to eradicate “Amalek” indeed for racial reasions from the very beginning).
Slavic children from the East were often even “Germanized”. But the National Socialists realized a strong genetic Central Asiatic/Tatar/Mongol influence in the Russkies.
Axis-allies like Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia etc. were Slavic nations/peoples. Many leading National Socialists were (at least partly) Slavic themselves. https://en.everybodywiki.com/List_of_Nazis_of_non-Germanic_descent

Slavs were indeed untermensch and the plan for Russia was to eliminate two thirds of the population of European Russia either by starvation or by deporting them east of the Urals. Any trace of Slavic culture was to be eliminated which included the razing of both Leningrad and Moscow. The land was then going to be occupied by Germans with the remaining Slavic population used as serfs / slaves. The resettlement plan was actually in progress when the Axis forces were checked and then forced back which is one reason why there was a huge exodus surging westwards — it wasn’t so much fleeing the Red Army as the enraged, empowered population that had been dispossessed and enslaved.
All this is well documented. The scale of destruction of Axis controlled areas in the East is still beyond the comprehension of most people. Since the Axis included contingents from much of the modern EU (including from supposedly neutral country like Spain) its not surprising that modern Russia is a bit sensitive about encroachment by the west.
“If this keeps up, America, once looked upon as a bastion of freedom and economic opportunity, will be the last place anyone ever thinks of when they hear the words freedom, justice and equality”…suggest that milestone was already reached under Biden

This is interesting: “Hindenburg and his advisors believed they could control Hitler and the Nazi party, ensuring a functional government and ‘preventing a communist takeover.’
Despite his reservations, Hindenburg appointed Hitler as Chancellor on January 30, 1933, marking a turning point in German history.”
The ruling elites terrified of losing wealth and power viewed the Nazi Party/fascism as a bulwark against political upheaval.
Looking back on the last decade, it’s now obvious to even liberals that if “phony Bernie” would’ve been the Dem nominee in 2016, Trump would’ve lost the election and that would’ve been the end of that.
However, avarice elites refused to make any concessions preferring to heighten economic exploitation while simultaneously plundering the treasury with a series of genocidal wars. 🤑
To put it simply, if there are only two viable right-wing political parties, and one is merely a controlled opposition to the other then what we’re witnessing is the inevitable outcome.
History repeats itself, just in a slightly different form. 🤔

Clown Show!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_(software)
Signal is an open-source, encrypted messaging service for instant messaging, voice calls, and video calls.[15][16] The instant messaging function includes sending text, voice notes, images, videos, and other files.[17] Communication may be one-to-one between users or may involve group messaging.
On March 24, 2025, it was revealed that senior members of the Trump administration – including vice president JD Vance, secretary of state Marco Rubio, and defense secretary Pete Hegseth – accidentally added Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal chat in which they openly discussed national security plans to combat Houthis in Yemen. After Goldberg published his article, Brian Hughes of the National Security Council confirmed the authenticity of Goldberg’s account.[213][214][215]

The Text Chain That Should END Trump’s Presidency
The Bulwark
Mar 24, 2025
This is bad — Trump officials accidentally added The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal group chat, openly discussing sensitive war plans against Yemen—including operational details. Sarah Longwell and JVL take on this shocking security breach, calling out the incompetence, recklessness, and sheer absurdity of the Trump administration’s inner circle.
Could his name just be being used as a proxy pawn in some esoteric economic puzzle.
Its not the Titanic, but neither is todays economy.
Copied below is my developing theory covering the last decade or so. The “versus” applies to pre May 2023, but they’re now in the clearing up and settlement phase. According to this theory, the Trump47 admin is being played. Most of the Trump47 participants will be unwitting, but there’ll be a small number of cognizant insiders helping the strategy along.
It’s likely that the Signal saga was an intentionally constructed trap. In constructing this trap, a journalist would be chosen from a relatively short list of possible contenders. It’s possible that the psyops people then chose Goldberg so as to “signal” something – or maybe just for a bit of a troll!

My developing theory (as previously posted):
Christian Zionists plus Atlantic Council
Versus
The Monolithic & Ruthless Conspiracy (MRC)
aka: Kissinger, City of London, etc
However, given that Kissinger conceded defeat on Belt & Road in May 2023, they may now be effectively working together on a clearing up and settlement operation. That operation (if real) seems to involve the destruction of MAGA. But in this destruction of MAGA, Trump is not acting out a role. Rather, his ideas of being a god-emperor have been inflated and allowed free rein.

‘Unbelievable’: Jeffrey Goldberg speaks out after Trump officials accidentally texted him war plans
MSNBC – Jen Psaki
Editor-in-chief of The Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberg speaks out on his new piece: “The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans.
Goldberg is anything but an independent journalist, if I remember correctly, he’s been a tool of intelligence agencies since the Iraq wars at least
Very likely. That’s why he’d be on the short list!
My guess regarding the invite is that Signal was hacked – perhaps by spoofing Mike Waltz’s logon.

“Netflix’s Adolescence makes UK TV ratings history”
Adolescence has been the most watched show since the dawn of recorded time. Mass hysteria has broken out absolutely everywhere and is probably happening in front of your eyes right now. Indeed the response has been so ecstatically traumatic that cartloads of priests and therapists have been drafted in everywhere to cope with the demands to shut down all social media everywhere. And a Hollywood version and musical have already been commissioned.
Just confirms the gullibility, boredom and desperation of the overworked, easily distracted Sheeple.
Or possibly the lies of the media. I don’t know anyone who has watched this turkey.
What is sad is that Americans bemoaning the new authoritarian dictatorship they see around them will then list some of the similar abuses of power throughout their history but still return to the idea they are the bastion of freedom and democracy.
It is a testimony to the quality of the brainwashing which exists in western European states. We must be the good guys?
“…our sheer numbers, our muscle, our economy, our physical presence in this land..”
It’s time to let go of this dream – i.e., govt of the ppl, for the ppl, by the ppl. It’s a beautiful lie.
When Adelson slams $100M on the table, your sheer numbers count for eff all. Your govt is, in a very literal sense, bought.
Trump’s nominee for Israeli ambassador is Mike Huckabee. He’s not passed the confirmation yet.
There are claims Huckabee is a Dominionist. That’s an Evangelical Protestant splinter that believes in Israeli world domination followed by Israel’s collapse and then the Second Comig or the Rapture or whatever. Nothing at all weird nor creepy about any of this…..
P.S. Where exactly is the Rapture in the Bible? I must have missed it.
..in the UK, where we ‘..don’t do religion…’, this side to US politics has been…mothballed. I.e., it is simply too embarrassing to stare this reality in the face – that we have aligned ourselves to lunatics. So we just look the other way.
‘The Rapture’ translates as ‘0rgasm’.
Expecting one when ‘Israel’ gets big them collapses is the tell,
though it sounds very sado-masochistic.
The Rapture came from someone in the 1800’s called Mary Mcdonald, an occultist
I try and tell my Christian friends but its their hopium because they then get to miss the scariest part of the Tribulation.
This will lead to many losing faith ( great falling away ) when they don’t get pulled up into the clouds as they expect
Most local pastors where I live preach it weekly
More like a rupture than a rapture.
A rupture of sanity.
– The Dominionist movement began in 1978 at the Air Force Academy. The daily indoctrination there includes calls for the nuclear incineration of non-believers. The movement has gained control of the military except Marines.
– Targets for control include Homeland Security, Department of Justice, Supreme Court and foreign relations. Every federal agency is infested. There are allies in media, banking and extremist groups – both US and Israeli “Taliban”. Campaign financing under a new court ruling will bring key legislators into line. This helps to explain why Obama is powerless even to scale back the wars or combat financial crime as promised.
– Groups that have aligned themselves with Dominionists include (a) Mormon Church – that runs Utah, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Wyoming, Idaho and part of Western Colorado as a private fiefdom (b) Catholic Church, besieged by scandals (c) some sects that had been “anti-Semitic” until now (d) Americans fighting illegal immigration.
– The dictatorship is packaged as (a) a return to “traditional values” or (b) security from various threats. The goal is to replace the republic with a “Christian” theocracy that benefits business. The core teachings reinterpret the KJV Bible, stressing an apocalypse that involves Jews settling in South-West Asia. USA is to participate in expanding Israel. The catch is that the Jews must ultimately convert to Christianity or suffer a repeat of the “Holocaust”.
– In 2007, “Dominionists” stole at least 6 nuclear weapons from Minot AFB. The cover-up implied that they had been inadvertently loaded onto a bomber. 80 personnel were dismissed. Up to 10 of them may since have died in “suicides” or “accidents”. At least 1 weapon may still be missing.
– Was the timing coincidence? The Afghanistan and Iraq adventures were a mess, and Bush was having his lowest ratings in popularity. The effort to wage war against Iran had faltered. The financial crisis was surfacing. Only 5% of the funds affected were mortgages. The rest was a giant pyramid scheme affecting bonds, stocks, corporate earnings, pension plans, etc.

Well, the US has a president who conducts himself like a professional wrestling superstar “Hero” ostensibly vanquishing various domestic and foreign Heels.
So it isn’t exactly shocking that Trump would nominate Mike Huckabee, a fellow Ziocaine junkie, for the post of Ambassador to Israel.
But I had to smile when I first heard about this nomination, because during my low-quality Free TV viewing, I know Huckabee as a “Compensated Celebrity Endorser” for a sleep-aid product called Relaxium.
It’s one of those aggressively-marketed snake-oil nostrums, like “Omega XL”, pitched to credulous low-information dupes in the US.
Huckabee is a fitting spokesperson; he has a wooing avuncular manner that evidently charms gullible insomniacs as it once charmed voters.
Once I would’ve said that the lucrative “Compensated Celebrity Endorser” gig was the last resort for washed-up has-beens. But since the West is in dystopian free fall, it’s become an interim resort that doesn’t preclude a return to “serious” employment. 💊 💊 🤨
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
We read such words, and in arrogance we feel they are relics of an inferior, primitive era.
How uncomfortable must our lives get before we truly understand?
BTW, my hopes that the Trump administration would be reasonable have faded rapidly.
Hearing Vance talk recently about taking Greenland because “we have to look after U.S. interests” illustrates the problem well. No consideration of what’s right or wrong. Just “we want to, it serves us.”
Is it any surprise this administration is so lovey dovey with Israel?
Trump and reasonable in the same sentence?
The oxymoron of the year.
TDS makes you a moron.
Greed makes you a dictator.
Are you asleep? When has Imperialism not been a part of history?
Trump’s ’declaration of war’ is aimed at illegal aliens, and was decided for tactical reasons: to get round the extraordinary amount of injunctions being applied by leftist activist judges with a long dirty history of lawfare and pro-Democrat bias, and to fulfil stated the wildly popular election promises now being frustrated by the deep state. The judges are looking most decidedly unconstitutional and anti-democracy, but with their obvious TDS, the Whiteheads will surely never complain about that.
Operation warpspeed aimed at the alien )swamp) the USA public is called alien in black laws.
There was no “declaration of war.” The Whiteheads ought to apply for work writing for Rachel Maddow.
EXACTLY!
I’m surprised not to see an article marking the fifth anniversary of lockdown in the UK although maybe there’s not much more to be said. Thanks to Off Guardian for your sanity during that exceptionally dark time.
My own story if you’ll forgive my self indulgence.

It is personal stories such as yours that should be recorded for posterity, and I don’t just mean in digital form, I mean written on paper.
There may well come time when the Plandemic is rewritten in the annals of history with a revisionist twist to totally memory hole its horrors. There are already enough people who are suffering convenient amnesia regarding the years 2020-2022. Most people I know well and others I encounter never even mention the Covid-1984 years. It is as if it never happened.
If we ever get out of this creeping totalitarian nightmare, then the availability of paper documents and personal journals detailing its toll on humanity will serve as a warning to future generations.
Yes, two years almost erased from the public and individual consciousness
Yes, indeed. Those who cut us off &/or mocked or snarled at us for attempting to prevent them from harming their health (or worse!) have gone totally silent…
In regards to documenting/recording those despicable and appalling worldwide ‘goings on’ – comedienne and podcaster Abi Roberts (abidaily.com) produced the wonderful coffee table book “We The People: Letters From Dystopia”.
It showcases testimonials from people who were particularly deeply affected by the evil ‘measures’, and pointedly illustrated by Bob Moran’s superb cartoons.
Everything in the digital (records) or electronic (devices) insanity can vanish like a puff of smoke. Leaving the all little people where?
But there is hope:

Polly Tommey at Children’s Health Defense is doing just that.
She did a national bus tour in 2022 cataloguing people’s stories of neglect, abuse, and death due to hospital/govt protocols around cvid, and injuries and deaths from the cvid injection.
She continues filming these stories and puts them up on CHD daily.
She produced VAXXED and VAXXED 2 and 3 which documents vaccine injuries going way back.
Her battle cry is “we will never forget”.
James Corbett has always recommended downloading articles and videos in the likely event they will eventually disappear.
The German doctor that you mentioned who was arrested at Trafalgar Square on 26th Sept 2020 was Dr Schoning. His arrest followed numerous high profile speakers including Icke, Piers Corbyn and others performing their usual schtick unmolested by the police. Yet, as soon as Dr Schoning took to the stand the Old Bill moved in mob-handed to drag him away before he could speak.
Clearly, he was viewed as a threat, which also tells us that the other ‘freedom warriors’ were not. The question is why were they not a threat? Something to ponder but unfortunately not difficult to figure out.
German = arrested,

Ask permission from the government to demonstration on a square.
The concept of having to ask permission from government to protest or demonstrate against the government is absolutey absurd. Yet, somehow, that over time became acceptable to the people.
Having said that, with regard to the UK lockdown protests the vast majority of attendees were normal, grassroots people. Not paid or compromised activists, although some of the organisers and speakers were.
I believe that due to the high turnouts at these events and also the anti-lockdown and anti-mandate sentiment which would have been picked up by the authorities through scraping the internet, anti-Social Media, monitoring emails, phone calls etc, the UK escaped the worst of the draconian edicts and mandates that some other countries suffered.
Thanks Milo.
A tragic and all too common story.
We have been wronged and hung out to dry.
Its not just Trump, its an ongoing process. Fascism is like a virus that always lies in wait for an opportunity to surface. That’s why oppression comes in waves — it surfaces, we push back, it goes dormant, it sees an opportunity, surfaces again and so on. The problem we have is how to push back permanently without falling into the same trap going the other way — its tempting to use these tools on world-be fascists but that opens the door for the exact same evil that we’re trying to combat.
The leftist activist judges deploying unprecedented amounts of lawfare to frustrate the elected president’s promises to deport millions of illegal aliens and much else certainly resemble fascists.
Trump isn’t going to kick out many immigrants..Oh, maybe a few for show. But not a lot. And it is not lawfare that prevents him from doing it. It is the fact that his fellow billionaires need endless immigrants to keep the wages low and the rents high. It’s simple conservative economics. Trump’s main goal is to abolish income taxes on billionaires. The rest is entertainment.
I take exception with any attempt to water down what Trump is doing or with any suggestion that the gravest danger lies with the flunkies/courtiers surrounding him. The gravest danger is Trump, not as president, but as the leader of the MAGA Klan. Upwards of perhaps a hundred million MAGAdytes hang on Trump’s every word and fully support his every action – even when he is betraying everything he promised them.
You see, to the MAGAdytes, Trump was simply playing 10-dimensional chess with words – nothing more. Because the MAGAdytes don’t really want peace and freedom and economic prosperity. What do they want? Whatever Trump wants them to want. Period.
Implying that Trump’s supporters are mindless minions of his every whim is obviously wrong, offensive and ignorant; have you really not seen how much of MAGA is deeply critical of Trump’s sickening servitude to Zionism?
MAGA is deeply critical of Trump’s sickening servitude to Zionism?
MAGA is deeply critical of Trump’s sickening servitude to Big pharma
MAGA is deeply critical of Trump’s sickening servitude to ……
MAGA is deeply critical of Trump’s sickening servitude to …
But they still vote and believe in him time and time again.
Fair enough. What’s the alternative?
“Pending.”
I guess it’s the block quote?
Great article thanks.
Forget the Law, its totally corrupt, from top to bottom.
The only hope we have is to wake the fk up.
