Trump's War on Americans

🎯 Erik Prince's Ukraine Drone GrabErik Prince's appearance in Kyiv seeking control of Ukrainian drone companies isn't just another grift by the Blackwater founder. As Olga Lautman observed on today's Trump Tyranny Tracker, Prince's push into Ukraine's strategic defense assets connects directly to a broader militarization of American governance. While Prince maneuvers to acquire drone technology that Ukraine has refined under fire, Trump considers deploying private contractors in active war zones. Lautman suspects Manafort's involvement, with connections leading back to the Kremlin—this isn't about helping Ukraine but about controlling strategic military assets for darker purposes.🔫 Immigration Agency Becomes Armed Police ForceThe U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, once a civilian agency processing green cards and visas, is hiring hundreds of armed agents. Their mission extends beyond immigration enforcement to denaturalization—stripping citizenship from naturalized Americans. The comprehensive database USCIS maintains on every naturalized citizen—their education, family connections, biometric data—now serves an armed force with explicit authority to render Americans stateless. As Lautman noted, this creates a mechanism for silencing dissent through the threat of citizenship revocation, enforced at gunpoint.🏛️ Federal Seizure of 9/11 MemorialTrump officials are exploring federal seizure of New York's 9/11 Memorial, currently managed by a nonprofit chaired by Michael Bloomberg. For New Yorkers who lived through that day, whose first responders died from diseases contracted at Ground Zero, this attempted appropriation of collective trauma for political branding strikes at something sacred. The memorial stands where remains were never recovered, where grief crystallized into public memory. As Lautman warned, we may soon see Trump's banner draped over this place of reflection.⚔️ Chicago Threatened with Military ActionTrump posted an "Apocalypse Now" meme while threatening Chicago with mass deportations and military crackdowns, timing his threats to coincide with the city's Mexican Independence Day parade. Attendance plummeted amid fears of raids. The Pentagon, renamed the "Department of War," openly discusses deploying military force against American cities. As Lautman pointed out, American cities now host more military presence than Baghdad. Even Russia, she noted, wouldn't flaunt such domestic military threats so brazenly.🔒 DOJ Shields Epstein NetworkThe Justice Department requested keeping sealed the names of two Epstein associates who received $100,000 and $250,000 in 2018. Prosecutors previously suggested these payments appeared designed to influence potential co-conspirators protected by Epstein's 2008 plea deal. While armed agents target immigrants and naturalized citizens, the same system actively protects those connected to trafficking networks—revealing exactly whose interests this militarized state serves.These aren't isolated incidents but coordinated elements of what Lautman accurately termed "a war on Americans." The infrastructure being built—private military contractors acquiring strategic technology, civilian agencies transformed into armed forces, federal seizure of public memorials, military threats against cities, protection of elite criminal networks—creates a framework for domestic occupation.The price of not holding people accountable manifests in their return with greater ambition and fewer constraints. Prince, never prosecuted for Blackwater's crimes, now positions himself to control strategic military assets. The infrastructure for authoritarian rule assembles in plain sight, one armed agency at a time.Thank you An Mcgreevy, Nancy B., Marjory Button, LaNita Jones, Steven Rosenzweig, and many others for tuning into my live video with Olga Lautman!
