Trump Is Rapidly Expanding The American Police State.

The American police state that I've been warning about since I was 16 years old is no longer a mere possibility. It's not even a probability anymore now that it's coming into clear focus. We've moved past wondering if it will happen or when it will happen because it's happening now, under the direction of Donald Trump and with the full support of his most faithful fans, most of whom have apparently never read the U.S. Constitution.

To be fair, Trump didn't lay the foundation for the authoritarian surveillance society we see being built around us. He's only pulling together all the pieces that past presidents, Democrat and Republican, have forced upon us over the past several decades, topped off with newly developed digital technology powered by artificial intelligence.

Bill Clinton got us used to militarized federal agents doing the work of his power-mad attorney general, Janet Reno. George Bush III gave us the massive 9/11 psyop and trauma event, followed by the "Patriot Act" that erased so many of our freedoms with little outcry from Americans who just wanted to feel safe. Barack Obama made it legal for propaganda to be used against U.S. citizens. Donald Trump, in his first term, allowed Americans to be "locked down", a term usually reserved for prisoners, allegedly to combat COVID-19 despite no evidence that lock downs would accomplish anything other than destroy the economy. Joe Biden was a heavy promoter of censorship, working with social media companies to silence dissent. He also threatened to send the National Guard door to door to enforce vaccine compliance.

Now we have Trump version 2.  Trump v2 has introduced censorship to combat "antisemitism", concentration camps disguised as "illegal immigrant detention centers", biometric airport security systems, further militarization of the police, and a partnership with Palantir that will radically increase the amount of data the federal government has on us. Trump has also used the National Guard in Los Angeles to support ICE raids, and he's now federalized law enforcement in Washington DC and promises to do the same in other large cities. Add to that bi-partisan efforts to introduce digital ID's and to eliminate the anonymous internet, and we're right at the point where the gates slam shut in the dystopian digital prison we're going to find ourselves permanently trapped in.

Donald Trump can say he wants to "Make America Great Again" until he runs of out of breath, but who is he making it great for? Apparently MAGA is for the tech, banking, pharma, and military oligarchs who are increasingly running not only America but the entire world. The new authoritarian surveillance society isn't being built for our benefit. It's being built to silence us, track us, and control us, so that the oligarchs can take our homes, our wealth, and our freedom, and never have to worry about us storming their castles to try and get it back.

I've found two videos that help to make my point. The first is "A Police State For Your Safety" (5 mins, 45 secs) by Greg Reese. It's a quick overview of where we are and where Trump is taking us.

The second video is "This Is Tyranny" by Aaron and Melissa Dykes (31 mins, 50 secs). The Dykes think something big is being prepared for by our government, saying "Mass civil unrest is obviously coming in the not-too-distant future or they wouldn’t be gearing up for it so damn hard. What is happening isn’t okay at all, but it’s definitely being normalized at breakneck speed."

We still have the power to keep the freedom we still have and gain back the freedoms we've already lost. Unfortunately the left mistakenly thinks all they have to do is make sure the Democrats win the next few major elections. They're blind to the role that Democrats have played in getting us to this point. And Republicans have put their faith in a man who seems to have sold his soul to the gods of power and money. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are going to legislate us back to the nation our Founding Fathers envisioned and created. Our government has become a dangerous, insatiable monster that demands more and more but refuses to give anything back.

There probably is no political solution. But if we do nothing, future generations of Americans will know nothing but lives of constant surveillance, zero privacy, and the feeling of a policeman's boot standing on their throats.

Distracted From Our Own Enslavement.

"Everything is a distraction from the digital prison they're building around us. And it's working. More people are concerned with dumb, divisive bullshit than they are with automation of jobs, digital borders, digital ID's stable coins, 15 minute cities, or social credit scores."

This Is Why You Can't Have Nice Things.

Inflation: brought to you by central bankers and the mindless politicians who recklessly spend money with no concern for where the money comes from or how that spending destroys hard-working Americans.

Our financial system is unsustainable. The economic collapse is inevitable. Chaos is coming.

Are you ready?

Tyranny Unleashed: Quotes On The Abuse Of Power.

"The power you give away will eventually be used against you." -- Timo Malum

“The demise of the human race rests mainly on the shoulders of stupidity, and the abuse of power in the hands of those we have elected.” -- A.R. Merrydew 

"It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong." -- Thomas Sowell

"A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have." -- Gerald R. Ford

"The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse." -- James Madison

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." -- Lord Acton

"Anyone entrusted with power will abuse it if not also animated with the love of truth and virtue, no matter whether he be a prince, or one of the people." -- Jean De La Fontaine

"Great men are urged on to the abuse of power (when they need urging, which is not often), by their flatterers and dependents." -- Charles Dickens

“There are people, like tigers, who have a thirst for licking blood. A man who has once experienced this power, this unlimited lordship over the body, blood, and spirit of a man just like himself, created in the same way his brother by the law of Christ; a man who has experienced this power and the full possibility of inflicting the ultimate humiliation upon another being bearing the image of God, somehow involuntarily loses control of his sensations. Tyranny is a habit; it is endowed with development, and develops finally into an illness.” -- Fyodor Dostoevsky

Israel Uses Starvation As An Inhumane Weapon Of War.

"You'll get hell." How Israeli officials justify using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza.

A photo essay by Humaira Ahad / PressTV

Israeli policy in Gaza is using starvation as a weapon of war, with regime officials openly advocating blockade tactics to displace, kill, and exterminate Palestinians.

The faces of starvation: Huda used to run barefoot across the courtyard. Now, she slumps against a wall, too weak to stand. She is one of over a million children enduring Israel's starvation campaign in Gaza.

Hunger as a weapon: This is not accidental. Israel has weaponized food, water, and medicine - turning hunger into a method of war. Over 100 Palestinians - 80 of them children - have already died from starvation and dehydration.

A policy with deep roots: "We'll deprive Gaza of water, and the Arabs will leave." - Levi Eshkol, Israeli Prime Minister, 1967. This policy didn't begin in 2023. It's decades old, and now more explicit than ever.

The 'Calorie Limit' strategy: In 2007 Israeli officials calculated the minimum calories Palestinians needed to avoid famine - then blocked food just above that line. "The idea is to put Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger," said Dov Weissglas, advisor to then Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

Starvation goes public: Today, Israeli officials no longer hide it.

"Starve the Gazans and impose a siege to the max." - MK Moshe Saada

"The food and aid depots should be bombed in order to create military and political pressure." - Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir

"Israel has imposed a total blockade on Gaza - no electricity, no water, just damage. You wanted hell, you will get hell." -- Gen. Ghassan Alian

Systematic deprivation: Fuel, food, and water are blocked. UN-cleared trucks are turned back or attacked. Officials brag about cutting off Gaza's lifelines.

"We don't give them food - they will have to leave." - Daniella Weiss

Dehumanization: "They are human animals. No electricity. No water. No gas. We are fighting animals." - Top Israeli Generals and Ministers.

This language is used to justify mass starvation.

Gaza's grim choice: "Stay and starve, or leave." That's the ultimatum. Not for Palestinian resistance fighters, but for over 2 million civilians, half of them children.

This is not war. It is extermination by hunger.

A Simple Solution To America's Housing Crisis.

On an average night in the United States, more than 770,000 people are homeless, and this number includes children as well as adults. Of course, that's just an estimate from government sources. The real number is likely much higher, as outreach teams are unable to count every homeless person, especially those who are technically without housing but have friends who let them sleep on the couch for a few nights or who live in cheap motels when they can afford it. It's not beyond reason to think we could have a million people in America with no permanent, safe place to call home. It's often assumed that homelessness is caused by mental health issues or drug & alcohol abuse, but in reality, the main contributors to homelessness are a lack of housing supply, rising home values, and unaffordable rent. There simply aren't enough houses or apartments available, and as a result, prices go up and the requirements to qualify for a home loan or to be approved for a lease become unattainable for more and more people. The situation has gotten so bad that tent cities have sprung up in urban areas while others are forced to live in their cars. It's unacceptable that the world's most powerful nation is unable, or unwilling, to make sure every citizen has a home.

As usual, government officials have no solutions to what should be a simple problem. Could this be because the housing industry, which donates big money to politicians, prefers to keep the housing supply tight in an effort to keep prices high?

Despite what industry lobbyists say, I believe homelessness can be eliminated fairly easily, by diverting existing government expenditures from war and foreign aid and into a domestic building program.

First, some numbers: according to Janover Multifamily Loans, the current cost to build a 200 unit apartment complex ranges from $50 million to $100 million in an average city (not including major markets such as Manhattan and San Francisco). Since we need the most units possible and not luxury complexes, let's use the lower estimate of $50 million.

Now let's look at where the money could come from. We give Israel $3.8 Billion per year, and since October 2023 we've spent more than $23 Billion in military costs to enable their genocide against the people of Gaza. In Israel alone, we've wasted nearly $27 Billion that could have been used to help American citizens right here within our own borders. That money could have built 540 apartment complexes totaling 108,000 units.

In 2024 we gave Ukraine $1.2 Billion, Jordan $1.1 Billion, Ethiopia $874 Million, DR Congo $843 Million, Somalia $706 Million, South Sudan $657 Million, and Yemen $602 Million. (We give hundreds of millions more to other countries throughout the world in addition to these.) The total for these seven is $5,982,000,000, or roughly $6 Billion to make it easier to compute. That amount of money could have built another 120 apartment complexes totaling 24,000 units.

That's 132,000 homes built using the money we send overseas in just over a year, and in most cases that money is sent year after year. If we did nothing else but keep that money here instead of giving it away, we could continue to build thousands of homes every year and have 770,000 ready in less than six years. That's enough to house all the homeless we estimate we have now, plus provide thousands of jobs in construction and manufacturing. Getting people housed would also reduce crime, it would clean up our cities, and it would give people the hope they need to keep them from turning to drugs & alcohol.

We could gain even more units if local governments would loosen regulations prohibiting the construction of tiny homes and relax building codes that drive up construction costs. Homes need to be safe, but they also need to be available. Regulations and codes are often used to protect a city's image, but they do little good when residents are sleeping on sidewalks or in tents.

Our problem isn't a lack of funds; it's a lack of will combined with misplaced priorities. A nation is made up of its people, and those people can't be productive and contribute to the strength of the nation if they're struggling to stay alive.

Some will say my idea is socialism, a point I can't deny. While I strongly oppose all forms of Marxist ideology, we have a crisis that can be solved using money we're already spending. We just need to spend it on something that actually helps America instead of sending it to other nations that give us nothing in return. With a national debt of $37 Trillion that rises every day, we can no longer afford to fix the world while our own nation crumbles. Our focus has to be at home, at least until our internal problems have been taken care of.

Further, the apartment homes I've proposed wouldn't be given to tenants for free. Rent would be charged sufficient to maintain the properties and possibly return some funds to the federal treasury, but that rent would be affordable to people working the service jobs that help keep our economy going. We all like the convenience of fast food, for example, but the cashiers and the cooks have to live somewhere local or the restaurants won't be able to stay open. And do you really want the guy who makes your food to be living in a tent with no running water?

Ultimately, once we've gotten out of crisis mode, we can stop building apartments and start repairing our neglected infrastructure and paying down our debt. But no money should go overseas (other than for legitimate emergency humanitarian aid) until we've gotten our own nation built back strong again.

Because a strong homeland is the best kind of national security.

Addendum:

After I published this article, I received some comments on social media suggesting that the best solution to the housing crisis would be to deport the illegal immigrants. Although that seems logical, here's is the reply I posted to explain why mass deportations will never happen:

"To show the fallacy of Trump's deportation psyop, I did some research and found there are an estimated 18.6 million illegal immigrants living in the United States, almost 6% of the total population. That's as many people as the total population of Cambodia and twice as many as live in Israel, Austria, or Switzerland. Deporting even 1/4 of the illegals would crash our economy, something Trump knows. Stunts like the "Alligator Alley" deportation camp are part of the theater that creates the perception that Trump is tough on immigration. In reality, even if 3.7 million people were deported every year, it would take five years to finish the job. (That's 10,136 people PER DAY, every day, for five years).

I'm not pro-immigration, but the numbers don't lie. We have an economy that is dependent on illegals. It also depends on income from illegal drugs, but that's a story for another day."

So while Trump will continue with his highly publicized deportations, he's going for the "low-hanging fruit" and the most violent criminals. What he's doing through ICE is essentially theater for the masses as well as a form of social training that conditions us to the sight of heavily armed police roaming the nation looking for targets. It won't make a significant dent in the number of illegals living in America nor will it solve the housing crisis.
