Dear Reader:
Preface.
Suck is gone mad – touched mad – deleting posts throughout Faceplop, anything that presents ideology that he opposes.
Notice on posts at my Faceplop page that Suck deleted the URL links and posts that reference to my Faceplop page:
**
This content isn’t available right now
When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.
**
**
Page not found.
The page you requested was not found.
**
Here are today’s Faceplop Memories of this date at prior years, with selected narrative.
Fear not, Dear Reader. I continue posting current original compositions – I have countless ideas about topics that I have never discussed here or not commented in depth. Posting these recent ‘Memories’ allows me to catch up to what past essays I missed posting here concurrent with Faceplop posts.
– Sharon

A Facebook ‘Memories’ from, if my rattled brain’s mathematical skills serve me well, 47 years ago.
My reason for being taken to Greece was suspect, but I made what I could from my two school years there, tried to make friends, tried to experience what I could of Greece and Europe (history, culture, cuisine), and return home wiser.
Thank you to my TIHI friends. Thank you, Mary G, for coming back into my life.

This is the price for racism and stupidity…People who judge others based on their prejudice and inability to decipher reality; like what a Statehouse representatives badge looks like over their White colleague. How can you have dialog when you’ve already made your mind up based on the color of someone’s skin? And then insulted them?

You don’t look like a legislator’: Security stops black, female lawmaker going to work in Ohio
COLUMBUS – State Rep. Emilia Sykes was walking to work in the Ohio Statehouse last year with a fellow lawmaker when she was stopped by security. Officers needed to search her bag, she was told.
Sykes is serving her third year as a Democratic state representative from Akron. She is also a 32-year-old black woman. Her colleague, who was not searched, is a 65-year-old white man who has served in the Legislature for many years.
Sykes said she questioned why her bag needed to be searched when that wasn’t protocol. Lawmakers only need a badge to gain access to the Statehouse or the nearby Riffe Center, which houses many lawmakers’ offices.

On the Anniversary of the Chinese dictatorship crushing the Peoples’ Democracy movement.
Crooked DrumpFuhrer, instead, praises the Chinese dictatorship for the slaughter in the streets of Beijing.
Coronavirus was Crooked DrumpFuhrer’s prelude distraction by his shiny object, to keep you frightened, indoors, off the streets, un-employed, and financially desperate while he moved his military into place.
*
We are Amerika, now in martial law status.
There will be no mutiny, no saving the Constitution by Mattis or by the military.
There will be no mutiny to dispatch Crooked DrumpFuhrer to the dustbin of world history where he belongs.
The USA military prove themselves loyal to Crooked DrumpFuhrer, NOT to the Constitution, NOT to their Oath of Office.
Crooked DrumpFuhrer has all his generals lined up on his side, scared to fulfill their Oath of Office to defend the Constitution from ALL enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC.
There is little that can be said or be done by Mattis or by any other current or former military officer or Cabinet Secretary.
As did Hitler, Crooked DrumpFuhrer did this one step at a time, cunningly developed through decades of plotting and scheming; Crooked DrumpFuhrer as both a Republi-con and a Christian Con-servative whose constituent members have been fully supportive.
Enough of Amerika went for it, going along for the ride while the getting was good. It’s too late, you are still riding out this proverbial tiger and you can no longer let go of its tail.
I perceived Crooked DrumpFuhrer as the con that he is since the 1970s when I first heard of him. Any time his name came up for conversation or debate, I made my say. Some people accepted my warnings, some people told me that I was completely twisted, some people now Gaslight me.
Crooked DrumpFuhrer issued his National Emergency. That in itself gives him authoritarian powers when either branch of Congress or the Supreme Court conspire with him. Moscow McConnell proved that this complicit Senate fully supports Crooked DrumpFuhrer’s dictatorship. The five Republi-con Supreme Court justices and the panoply of the federal judiciary are fully subservient to Crooked DrumpFuhrer’s command.
The American experiment in Civilian self-governance was cool while it lasted.
I sit on my back patio and watch the steady stream of police helicopters and high altitude surveillance aircraft flying over my home. Mind you, I deliberately chose to buy my home here because it is not under any designated flight paths; my overhead skies are supposed to be free of all aircraft.
This is now Crooked DrumpFuhrer’s Amerika
Welcome to it.

THEY FOR SURE DID THIS KETTLING IN CINCINNATI, TOO!
copied & shared from a comrade:
If you’re not following the Swann Street siege story this morning, it’s incredible.
Yesterday evening, D.C. police forced a large group of peaceful protesters and demonstrators into a residential neighborhood in a tactic known as “kettling.”
Kettling is a military technique to encircle people, to box them in on all sides, into a smaller and smaller and smaller space where they can’t retreat or escape from. In American protests, it’s often accompanied by police forces taking advantage of the fact that protesters can’t retreat to inflict maximum harm with teargas, batons, and other weapons for an extended period before doing mass arrests.
It’s not a dispersement technique, it’s the complete opposite — it’s a technique of intense aggression, and it’s controversial because it’s seldom used in good faith and often results in intense prolonged violence, with the intention of also cutting everyone caught in the kettle off from medics, aid, food, water, the ability to leave, etc.
Last night, D.C. police pushed demonstrators into a residential neighborhood in an attempt to kettle them. But residents of the neighborhood had been watching, and threw open their front doors to protesters, including a first-generation Indian-American man named Rahul Dubey.
Rahul and his neighbors sheltered a hundred people or more, between them, for eight hours last night, including having teargas fired at their homes and having the police try to enter their private property several times through various methods. They were rebuked and dispelled every time.
Rahul and his neighbors orchestrated food, medical aid, and lawyers during the siege, including ensuring protesters had safe escorts this morning.

Step by step, Trump has paralleled Hitler’s rise to power. Now he’s setting the stage to declare martial law nationwide:
[Full article is as follows]
“Exclusive: President Trump Moves Military Forces to Near-Wartime Alert Level in Washington D.C
BY WILLIAM M. ARKIN ON 6/2/20 AT 2:29 PM EDT
The Pentagon has ordered forces and bases in the Washington D.C. area to “Force Protection Condition Charlie,” a threat condition that indicates “likely” targeting of military forces and or terrorist action and the second highest alert level available.
The state of higher alert was ordered as of 7:30 a.m. Tuesday morning for the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. The order follows a rapidly moving and confusing set of statements and threats coming out of the White House in the previous 24 hours. During this period, President Donald Trump has threatened state governors with federal intervention, and appointed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley as the commander of federal forces—a legally questionable order. Under the law, the chairman serves as the principal military adviser to the president, not a military commander.
“The role of the U.S. military in domestic U.S. law enforcement is limited by law,” Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said in a statement Tuesday. “It must not be used in violation of those limits and I see little evidence that President Trump understands this fundamental premise.”
“I remain gravely concerned about President Trump’s seemingly autocratic rule and how it affects the judgment of our military leadership,” Rep. Smith says.
As a further measure Monday, the president quietly federalized the District of Columbia National Guard, the first National Guard troops to be federalized in response to the outbreak of national protests responding to the death of George Floyd.
The D.C.-area troops fall under a little known command—Joint Task Force National Capital Region (JTF-NCR), which was originally activated in March to implement secret continuity of government and other emergency plans in response to coronavirus.
The Joint Task Force is commanded by Army Maj. Gen. Omar Jones. He reports to the “combatant commander” for North America, Air Force Gen. Terrence J. O’Shaunghnessy, the commander of U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM), headquartered in Colorado Springs, CO. And Gen. O’Shaunghnessy reports to the president, through the secretary of defense.
In addition to federalizing the D.C. National Guard, additional National Guard units from adjoining states and West Virginia were also brought into the capital region Monday night, also under federal orders.
And right after midnight Tuesday morning, transport aircraft from Ft. Drum, New York, and Ft. Riley, Kansas, arrived at Andrews Air Force Base in southern Maryland and disembarked active-duty military police and infantry soldiers to take on the military defense of federal buildings and bases. Some 250 active duty military police from Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, had already been staged at military bases inside the district by midnight.
“I am mobilizing all available federal resources, civilian and military,” President Trump said Monday, referring to “thousands and thousands” of military and federal civilian forces at his disposal. Last night, law enforcement officers of 10 federal agencies took up positions in the D.C. area, most around the White House and Capitol building as well as federal offices and monuments. This includes the FBI, ATF, Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Marshals and Bureau of Prisons officers of the Department of Justice, and Customs and Border Protection, ICE, the Secret Service and Coast Guard officer of the Department of Homeland Security.
Across the country, at least 26 states and the District of Columbia have now mobilized over 20,000 guardsmen and women to “protect life and property; and preserve peace, order and public safety,” according to Air Force Gen. Joseph Lengyel, chief of the National Guard Bureau.
The 26 states that have activated National Guard troops are: Arizona, Alaska, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. The Guard units in the states continue to serve under “state active duty” and the command of each state governor.
On the ground, FBI and other federal law enforcement officers have joined local police.
And up in the air, federal surveillance aircraft—most belonging to the CBP, but also FBI and military aircraft and helicopters—flew surveillance missions Monday over Buffalo, NY; Chicago, IL; Washington, DC; Detroit, MI; El Paso, TX; Miami, Florida; and San Diego, CA
President Trump, in stating yesterday that his goal was “to stop the rioting and looting, to end the destruction and arson, and to protect the rights of law-abiding Americans, including your Second Amendment rights,” used language that some analysts say could be a step in the direction of invoking the Enforcement of the Laws to Restore Public Order Act—commonly known The Insurrection Act—that would allow him to deploy military troops within the United States to suppress civil disorder, insurrection and rebellion.
President Trump said he would take action in cases where governors “refuse” to enforce the law or protect the civil rights of their citizens. This is considered to be a possible trigger for the White House to invoke the Insurrection Act without the agreement of an individual governor.
Both Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and Gen. Milley were at the White House Monday as the national security principals of the administration discussed the federal response and the escalation of the National Guard to involve federal active duty forces. Esper also took part in the presidential conference call with state governors. In that call, Esper referred to the streets of America as “battlespace” to be dominated, an expression that the president has now repeated numerous times.
As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Milley is the considered the senior military officer of the U.S. military and is formally the principal military adviser to the president. But he is not in command of any military forces, nor is he in the chain of command.
Two Pentagon sources with knowledge of the White House discussions tell Newsweek that neither Secretary Esper nor Gen. Milley have questioned the usefulness, propriety or legality of President Trump’s moves to involve federal military forces in the current civil unrest.
In announcing that he was putting Gen. Milley in charge, President Trump said that Milley “hates the way it’s being handled in the various states,” but neither Milley nor the Pentagon has made any official announcement regarding his views or his new role. Last night Milley was seen walking the streets of the District of Columbia after curfew to view the scene.
Esper and Milley—wearing a combat camouflage uniform—also accompanied President Trump in his photo op yesterday at St. John’s Episcopal Church across from the White House.”

“Anyone concerned about the state of America’s democracy ought to have been troubled Monday at the sight of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark A. Milley, striding behind Donald Trump during his presidential show of force at Lafayette Square. Dressed in combat fatigues and walking with Attorney General William P. Barr, national security adviser Robert O’Brien and others, the nation’s highest-ranking military officer did more than make himself part of the tableau of Trump’s photo op and campaign commercial. Milley gave tangible meaning to the president’s threat to deploy the U.S. military to put down “domestic terror” in the United States. His presence also raised questions about the military’s role as the country heads toward November and what the president has already declared could be “the greatest Rigged Election in history.”
“The president’s call for military deployments against protesters was not some random Trumpian effusion. He and his advisers and supporters are building a legal justification for deploying troops on American streets. Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper advised the nation’s governors to “dominate the battlespace,” by which he meant American cities. Prominent Republican Sen. Tom Cotton (Ark.), a close Trump ally and presidential aspirant, called for deploying “the 10th Mountain, 82nd Airborne, 1st Cav, 3rd Infantry — whatever it takes,” against the “insurrectionists,” a deliberate reference to the Insurrection Act of 1807, which gives the president broad powers to deploy federal troops. Trump tweeted that Cotton’s suggestions were “100% Correct.” This is the context in which Milley appeared with the president in his battle fatigues. It is the context in which a U.S. Army helicopter descended to rooftop level in Washington’s Chinatown hours later, frightening and scattering protesters in a “show of force” that snapped trees and nearly injured the fleeing civilians.”
“Dictators rule by controlling the “power ministries”: the domestic police and intelligence services, foreign intelligence services, and armed forces. U.S. democracy has been sustained by a strong tradition of ensuring that the power ministries serve the Constitution and the broader interests of the American people, not the political and personal interests of the individual in the White House.”

A Facebook ‘Memories’ from last year.
Election 2020 changed nothing. The apperachuk of Crooked Drumpf’s Republi-con Party insists that he remains President and will restore himself as President.
Ve written in prior posts about these plots that Republi-cons are implementing to overthrow our Constitutional government.
Meanwhile, you rank and file Drumpfian and Deplorable Republi-cons are enjoying the ride, the lust for power, same as your NAZI forebears.
Zuck’s Fact Check algorithm, more interested in nit picking a thousands year old rhetorician attribution, is conceding that the rest of this presentation is completely accurate.

On the Anniversary of the Chinese dictatorship crushing the Peoples’ Democracy movement.
Crooked DrumpFuhrer, instead, praises the Chinese dictatorship for the slaughter in the streets of Beijing.
Coronavirus was Crooked DrumpFuhrer’s prelude distraction by his shiny object, to keep you frightened, indoors, off the streets, un-employed, and financially desperate while he moved his military into place.
*
We are Amerika, now in martial law status.
There will be no mutiny, no saving the Constitution by Mattis or by the military.
There will be no mutiny to dispatch Crooked DrumpFuhrer to the dustbin of world history where he belongs.
The USA military prove themselves loyal to Crooked DrumpFuhrer, NOT to the Constitution, NOT to their Oath of Office.
Crooked DrumpFuhrer has all his generals lined up on his side, scared to fulfill their Oath of Office to defend the Constitution from ALL enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC.
There is little that can be said or be done by Mattis or by any other current or former military officer or Cabinet Secretary.
As did Hitler, Crooked DrumpFuhrer did this one step at a time, cunningly developed through decades of plotting and scheming; Crooked DrumpFuhrer as both a Republi-con and a Christian Con-servative whose constituent members have been fully supportive.
Enough of Amerika went for it, going along for the ride while the getting was good. It’s too late, you are still riding out this proverbial tiger and you can no longer let go of its tail.
I perceived Crooked DrumpFuhrer as the con that he is since the 1970s when I first heard of him. Any time his name came up for conversation or debate, I made my say. Some people accepted my warnings, some people told me that I was completely twisted, some people now Gaslight me.
Crooked DrumpFuhrer issued his National Emergency. That in itself gives him authoritarian powers when either branch of Congress or the Supreme Court conspire with him. Moscow McConnell proved that this complicit Senate fully supports Crooked DrumpFuhrer’s dictatorship. The five Republi-con Supreme Court justices and the panoply of the federal judiciary are fully subservient to Crooked DrumpFuhrer’s command.
The American experiment in Civilian self-governance was cool while it lasted.
I sit on my back patio and watch the steady stream of police helicopters and high altitude surveillance aircraft flying over my home. Mind you, I deliberately chose to buy my home here because it is not under any designated flight paths; my overhead skies are supposed to be free of all aircraft.
This is now Crooked DrumpFuhrer’s Amerika
Welcome to it.

THEY FOR SURE DID THIS KETTLING IN CINCINNATI, TOO!
copied & shared from a comrade:
If you’re not following the Swann Street siege story this morning, it’s incredible.
Yesterday evening, D.C. police forced a large group of peaceful protesters and demonstrators into a residential neighborhood in a tactic known as “kettling.”
Kettling is a military technique to encircle people, to box them in on all sides, into a smaller and smaller and smaller space where they can’t retreat or escape from. In American protests, it’s often accompanied by police forces taking advantage of the fact that protesters can’t retreat to inflict maximum harm with teargas, batons, and other weapons for an extended period before doing mass arrests.
It’s not a dispersement technique, it’s the complete opposite — it’s a technique of intense aggression, and it’s controversial because it’s seldom used in good faith and often results in intense prolonged violence, with the intention of also cutting everyone caught in the kettle off from medics, aid, food, water, the ability to leave, etc.
Last night, D.C. police pushed demonstrators into a residential neighborhood in an attempt to kettle them. But residents of the neighborhood had been watching, and threw open their front doors to protesters, including a first-generation Indian-American man named Rahul Dubey.
Rahul and his neighbors sheltered a hundred people or more, between them, for eight hours last night, including having teargas fired at their homes and having the police try to enter their private property several times through various methods. They were rebuked and dispelled every time.
Rahul and his neighbors orchestrated food, medical aid, and lawyers during the siege, including ensuring protesters had safe escorts this morning.

Step by step, Trump has paralleled Hitler’s rise to power. Now he’s setting the stage to declare martial law nationwide:
[Full article is as follows]
“Exclusive: President Trump Moves Military Forces to Near-Wartime Alert Level in Washington D.C
BY WILLIAM M. ARKIN ON 6/2/20 AT 2:29 PM EDT
The Pentagon has ordered forces and bases in the Washington D.C. area to “Force Protection Condition Charlie,” a threat condition that indicates “likely” targeting of military forces and or terrorist action and the second highest alert level available.
The state of higher alert was ordered as of 7:30 a.m. Tuesday morning for the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. The order follows a rapidly moving and confusing set of statements and threats coming out of the White House in the previous 24 hours. During this period, President Donald Trump has threatened state governors with federal intervention, and appointed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley as the commander of federal forces—a legally questionable order. Under the law, the chairman serves as the principal military adviser to the president, not a military commander.
“The role of the U.S. military in domestic U.S. law enforcement is limited by law,” Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said in a statement Tuesday. “It must not be used in violation of those limits and I see little evidence that President Trump understands this fundamental premise.”
“I remain gravely concerned about President Trump’s seemingly autocratic rule and how it affects the judgment of our military leadership,” Rep. Smith says.
As a further measure Monday, the president quietly federalized the District of Columbia National Guard, the first National Guard troops to be federalized in response to the outbreak of national protests responding to the death of George Floyd.
The D.C.-area troops fall under a little known command—Joint Task Force National Capital Region (JTF-NCR), which was originally activated in March to implement secret continuity of government and other emergency plans in response to coronavirus.
The Joint Task Force is commanded by Army Maj. Gen. Omar Jones. He reports to the “combatant commander” for North America, Air Force Gen. Terrence J. O’Shaunghnessy, the commander of U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM), headquartered in Colorado Springs, CO. And Gen. O’Shaunghnessy reports to the president, through the secretary of defense.
In addition to federalizing the D.C. National Guard, additional National Guard units from adjoining states and West Virginia were also brought into the capital region Monday night, also under federal orders.
And right after midnight Tuesday morning, transport aircraft from Ft. Drum, New York, and Ft. Riley, Kansas, arrived at Andrews Air Force Base in southern Maryland and disembarked active-duty military police and infantry soldiers to take on the military defense of federal buildings and bases. Some 250 active duty military police from Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, had already been staged at military bases inside the district by midnight.

The Guard units in the states continue to serve under “state active duty” and the command of each state governor.

Unfortunately, the following is one such Republi-con scheme in the works.
Those 128 generals and admirals signed a demand that both Biden and Harris resign.
But first, the push is Census Reapportionment. Republi-cons added several new House of Representatives seats, enough to retake the majority. This is why Republi-con Gerrymandering, voter purges, and voter suppression are vital to pass now. Red Republi-con states will be calling for early elections this year as each Red Republi-con state switches from Blue to Red. When they have enough Representatives, they will unseat Pelosi and appoint Drumpf as Speaker of the House.
With Biden and Harris removed from office by those 128 generals and admirals, with Drumpf as Speaker, he is next in line to be President.
This description is NOT a joke. This is real. This is amongst the current plots.
All this is perfectly Constitutional.

Then there’s one in any crowd. Ignore those stoopid Fact Check Bots. Neither they nor some comments comprehend the difference between figurative and literal. Must be Crooked Drumpf’s ‘Poorly Educated’, ‘Suckers’, and ‘Losers’.

On the Anniversary of the Chinese dictatorship crushing the Peoples’ Democracy movement.
Crooked DrumpFuhrer, instead, praises the Chinese dictatorship for the slaughter in the streets of Beijing.
Coronavirus was Crooked DrumpFuhrer’s prelude distraction by his shiny object, to keep you frightened, indoors, off the streets, un-employed, and financially desperate while he moved his military into place.
*
We are Amerika, now in martial law status.
There will be no mutiny, no saving the Constitution by Mattis or by the military.
There will be no mutiny to dispatch Crooked DrumpFuhrer to the dustbin of world history where he belongs.
The USA military prove themselves loyal to Crooked DrumpFuhrer, NOT to the Constitution, NOT to their Oath of Office.
Crooked DrumpFuhrer has all his generals lined up on his side, scared to fulfill their Oath of Office to defend the Constitution from ALL enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC.
There is little that can be said or be done by Mattis or by any other current or former military officer or Cabinet Secretary.
As did Hitler, Crooked DrumpFuhrer did this one step at a time, cunningly developed through decades of plotting and scheming; Crooked DrumpFuhrer as both a Republi-con and a Christian Con-servative whose constituent members have been fully supportive.
Enough of Amerika went for it, going along for the ride while the getting was good. It’s too late, you are still riding out this proverbial tiger and you can no longer let go of its tail.
I perceived Crooked DrumpFuhrer as the con that he is since the 1970s when I first heard of him. Any time his name came up for conversation or debate, I made my say. Some people accepted my warnings, some people told me that I was completely twisted, some people now Gaslight me.
Crooked DrumpFuhrer issued his National Emergency. That in itself gives him authoritarian powers when either branch of Congress or the Supreme Court conspire with him. Moscow McConnell proved that this complicit Senate fully supports Crooked DrumpFuhrer’s dictatorship. The five Republi-con Supreme Court justices and
the panoply of the federal judiciary are fully subservient to Crooked DrumpFuhrer’s command.
The American experiment in Civilian self-governance was cool while it lasted.
I sit on my back patio and watch the steady stream of police helicopters and high altitude surveillance aircraft flying over my home. Mind you, I deliberately chose to buy my home here because it is not under any designated flight paths; my overhead skies are supposed to be free of all aircraft.
This is now Crooked DrumpFuhrer’s Amerika
Welcome to it.

THEY FOR SURE DID THIS KETTLING IN CINCINNATI, TOO!
copied & shared from a comrade:
If you’re not following the Swann Street siege story this morning, it’s incredible.
Yesterday evening, D.C. police forced a large group of peaceful protesters and demonstrators into a residential neighborhood in a tactic known as “kettling.”
Kettling is a military technique to encircle people, to box them in on all sides, into a smaller and smaller and smaller space where they can’t retreat or escape from. In American protests, it’s often accompanied by police forces taking advantage of the fact that protesters can’t retreat to inflict maximum harm with teargas,
batons, and other weapons for an extended period before doing mass arrests.
It’s not a dispersement technique, it’s the complete opposite — it’s a technique of intense aggression, and it’s controversial because it’s seldom used in good faith and often results in intense prolonged violence, with the intention of also cutting everyone caught in the kettle off from medics, aid, food, water, the ability to leave, etc.
Last night, D.C. police pushed demonstrators into a residential neighborhood in an attempt to kettle them. But residents of the neighborhood had been watching, and threw open their front doors to protesters, including a first-generation Indian-American man named Rahul Dubey.
Rahul and his neighbors sheltered a hundred people or more, between them, for eight hours last night, including having teargas fired at their homes and having the police try to enter their private property several times through various methods. They were rebuked and dispelled every time.
Rahul and his neighbors orchestrated food, medical aid, and lawyers during the siege, including ensuring protesters had safe escorts this morning.

Step by step, Trump has paralleled Hitler’s rise to power. Now he’s setting the stage to declare martial law nationwide:
[Full article is as follows]
“Exclusive: President Trump Moves Military Forces to Near-Wartime Alert Level in Washington D.C
BY WILLIAM M. ARKIN ON 6/2/20 AT 2:29 PM EDT
The Pentagon has ordered forces and bases in the Washington D.C. area to “Force Protection Condition Charlie,” a threat condition that indicates “likely” targeting of military forces and or terrorist action and the second highest alert level available.
The state of higher alert was ordered as of 7:30 a.m. Tuesday morning for the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. The order follows a rapidly moving and confusing set of statements and threats coming out of the White House in the previous 24 hours. During this period, President Donald Trump has threatened state
governors with federal intervention, and appointed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley as the commander of federal forces—a legally questionable order. Under the law, the chairman serves as the principal military adviser to the president, not a military commander.
“The role of the U.S. military in domestic U.S. law enforcement is limited by law,” Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said in a statement Tuesday. “It must not be used in violation of those limits and I see little evidence that President Trump understands this fundamental premise.”
“I remain gravely concerned about President Trump’s seemingly autocratic rule and how it affects the judgment of our military leadership,” Rep. Smith says.
As a further measure Monday, the president quietly federalized the District of Columbia National Guard, the first National Guard troops to be federalized in response to the outbreak of national protests responding to the death of George Floyd.
The D.C.-area troops fall under a little known command—Joint Task Force National Capital Region (JTF-NCR), which was originally activated in March to implement secret continuity of government and other emergency plans in response to coronavirus.
The Joint Task Force is commanded by Army Maj. Gen. Omar Jones. He reports to the “combatant commander” for North America, Air Force Gen. Terrence J. O’Shaunghnessy, the commander of U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM), headquartered in Colorado Springs, CO. And Gen. O’Shaunghnessy reports to the
president, through the secretary of defense.
In addition to federalizing the D.C. National Guard, additional National Guard units from adjoining states and West Virginia were also brought into the capital region Monday night, also under federal orders.
And right after midnight Tuesday morning, transport aircraft from Ft. Drum, New York, and Ft. Riley, Kansas, arrived at Andrews Air Force Base in southern Maryland and disembarked active-duty military police and infantry soldiers to take on the military defense of federal buildings and bases. Some 250 active duty military police from Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, had already been staged at military bases inside the district by midnight.
“I am mobilizing all available federal resources, civilian and military,” President Trump said Monday, referring to “thousands and thousands” of military and federal civilian forces at his disposal. Last night, law enforcement officers of 10 federal agencies took up positions in the D.C. area, most around the White House and Capitol building as well as federal offices and monuments. This includes the FBI, ATF, Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Marshals and Bureau of Prisons officers of the Department of Justice, and Customs and Border Protection, ICE, the Secret Service and Coast Guard officer of the Department of Homeland Security.
Across the country, at least 26 states and the District of Columbia have now mobilized over 20,000 guardsmen and women to “protect life and property; and preserve peace, order and public safety,” according to Air Force Gen. Joseph Lengyel, chief of the National Guard Bureau.
The 26 states that have activated National Guard troops are: Arizona, Alaska, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia,
Washington and Wisconsin. The Guard units in the states continue to serve under “state active duty” and the command of each state governor.
On the ground, FBI and other federal law enforcement officers have joined local police.
And up in the air, federal surveillance aircraft—most belonging to the CBP, but also FBI and military aircraft and helicopters—flew surveillance missions Monday over Buffalo, NY; Chicago, IL; Washington, DC; Detroit, MI; El Paso, TX; Miami, Florida; and San Diego, CA
President Trump, in stating yesterday that his goal was “to stop the rioting and looting, to end the destruction and arson, and to protect the rights of law-abiding Americans, including your Second Amendment rights,” used language that some analysts say could be a step in the direction of invoking the Enforcement of the Laws to Restore Public Order Act—commonly known The Insurrection Act—that would allow him to deploy military troops within the United States to suppress civil disorder, insurrection and rebellion.
President Trump said he would take action in cases where governors “refuse” to enforce the law or protect the civil rights of their citizens. This is considered to be a possible trigger for the White House to invoke the Insurrection Act without the agreement of an individual governor.
Both Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and Gen. Milley were at the White House Monday as the national security principals of the administration discussed the federal response and the escalation of the National Guard to involve federal active duty forces. Esper also took part in the presidential conference call with state governors. In that call, Esper referred to the streets of America as “battlespace” to be dominated, an expression that the president has now repeated numerous times.
As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Milley is the considered the senior military officer of the U.S. military and is formally the principal military adviser to the president. But he is not in command of any military forces, nor is he in the chain of command.
Two Pentagon sources with knowledge of the White House discussions tell Newsweek that neither Secretary Esper nor Gen. Milley have questioned the usefulness, propriety or legality of President Trump’s moves to involve federal military forces in the current civil unrest.
In announcing that he was putting Gen. Milley in charge, President Trump said that Milley “hates the way it’s being handled in the various states,” but neither Milley nor the Pentagon has made any official announcement regarding his views or his new role. Last night Milley was seen walking the streets of the District of Columbia after curfew to view the scene.
Esper and Milley—wearing a combat camouflage uniform—also accompanied President Trump in his photo op yesterday at St. John’s Episcopal Church across from the White House.”

Here’s something attributed to the Washington Post.

Washington Post
(3 Jun 2020):
“Anyone concerned about the state of America’s democracy ought to have been troubled Monday at the sight of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark A. Milley, striding behind Donald Trump during his presidential show of force at Lafayette Square. Dressed in combat fatigues and walking with Attorney General
William P. Barr, national security adviser Robert O’Brien and others, the nation’s highest-ranking military officer did more than make himself part of the tableau of Trump’s photo op and campaign commercial. Milley gave tangible meaning to the president’s threat to deploy the U.S. military to put down “domestic terror” in the
United States. His presence also raised questions about the military’s role as the country heads toward November and what the president has already declared could be “the greatest Rigged Election in history.”
“The president’s call for military deployments against protesters was not some random Trumpian effusion. He and his advisers and supporters are building a legal justification for deploying troops on American streets. Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper advised the nation’s governors to “dominate the battlespace,” by which he meant American cities. Prominent Republican Sen. Tom Cotton (Ark.), a close Trump ally and presidential aspirant, called for deploying “the 10th Mountain, 82nd Airborne, 1st Cav, 3rd Infantry — whatever it takes,” against the “insurrectionists,” a deliberate reference to the Insurrection Act of 1807, which gives the president
broad powers to deploy federal troops. Trump tweeted that Cotton’s suggestions were “100% Correct.” This is the context in which Milley appeared with the president in his battle fatigues. It is the context in which a U.S. Army helicopter descended to rooftop level in Washington’s Chinatown hours later, frightening and
scattering protesters in a “show of force” that snapped trees and nearly injured the fleeing civilians.”
“Dictators rule by controlling the “power ministries”: the domestic police and intelligence services, foreign intelligence services, and armed forces. U.S. democracy has been sustained by a strong tradition of ensuring that the power ministries serve the Constitution and the broader interests of the American people, not the political and personal interests of the individual in the White House.”

Crooked Drumpf skimmed from the ‘9 / 11’ relief fund.

‘Pure Evil’: Report On Trump Administration Draining Fund For FDNY’s 9/11 Responders Draws Outrage

TOPLINE A New York Daily News scoop published Thursday revealed that the Trump administration has siphoned around $4 million from the New York City Fire Department’s fund for its September 11 first responders, drawing outrage on the 19th anniversary of the attacks, but the U.S. Treasury says the money was diverted because of “delinquent debt” owed by New York City to the federal government.

KEY FACTS
The funds are part of the FDNY World Trade Center Health Program, which was established by the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010, a bill passed by Congress that provides healthcare to first responders who have suffered a range of illnesses from exposure to dust and smoke at Ground Zero.
“TRUMP DOESN’T ONLY HATE VETERANS, HE HATES FIRST RESPONDER HEROES,” tweeted actress Debra Messing in reaction to the Daily News report.
Fred Guttenberg, father of Parkland school shooting victim Jamie Guttenberg, said he was “F—KING P—-ED” about the report, because his brother died of cancer from 9/11.
“From the administration whose identity is built on claims of honoring first responders,” Julie Cohen, director of the RBG documentary, wrote on Twitter.
“This doesn’t surprise me at all,” Army veteran and advocate Paul Rieckoff wrote on Twitter. “Trump did NOTHING to push for the extension of #Zadroga last year.”
“We are also working with Congressman King and others to examine any potential authorities to provide relief in this case to support our nation’s 9/11 heroes,” the Treasury spokesperson. told Forbes, but could not provide any examples of how they would do it, and did not have a timeline.
CRUCIAL QUOTE
“Here we have sick World Trade Center-exposed firefighters and EMS workers, at a time when the city is having difficult financial circumstances due to COVID-19, and we’re not getting the money we need to be able to treat these heroes,” FDNY Chief Medical Officer David Prezant told the Daily News.
CHIEF CRITIC
“Pure evil,” tweeted Dr. Dena Grayson, a medical expert who specializes in ebola and other viruses.
