Gaslighting 101

‪Aaron Rupar:‬

JON KARL: Could we really see active duty Marines on the streets of LA?

MIKE JOHNSON: One of our core principles is maintaining peace through strength. We do that on foreign affairs and domestic affairs as well. I don't think that's heavy handed.

Once federalized under Title 10, the National Guard becomes active-duty military personnel, just like the Army. It would be the use of military force against the state's wishes and without a clear need.

It strips away the governor's authority and puts control squarely in the President’s hands, for a situation he is far removed from, involving people he doesn't know.

The playbook is easy to spot. It’s top-down, unilateral, and involves provocation. That's how you recognize it.

Trump keeps talking about "rioters and looters". In the news coverage I've seen, there's no evidence of either here in L.A. What you are seeing is outraged individuals trying to stop his masked Gestapo from destroying good people's lives.

"If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can’t do their jobs, which everyone knows they can’t, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!" #Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.

#Trump admin officials spent much of Saturday criticizing the #protests in the region. #StephenMiller, the White House deputy chief of staff [Nazi], repeatedly posted on social media about the protests, describing them at various points as an “insurrection.”

He’s been itching to invoke the #InsurrectionAct.

"In Horrific Incitement, Trump to bring in 2,000 National Guard Troops!

California officials told Trump NOT to bring in more troops; it would only inflame tensions."

Random question: If one of these unidentifiable ICE goons not wearing a standard-issue uniform had his melon popped, would ICE release the victim's name, or would it withhold that information because ICE is doing what many of us suspect, which is recruiting white supremacist, pro-MAGA militia members?

“You bring chaos, and we’ll bring handcuffs.”

That’s what the FBI said after arresting union leader David Huerta at an L.A. immigration protest.
Video shows riot cops shoving the middle-aged Latino man to the ground—his head hitting the curb. Pepper-sprayed. Hospitalized. Still in custody.

Huerta: “This isn’t about me. It’s about how we stand together and resist injustice. Hard-working people are being treated like criminals.”

When the Federal government is calling in the National Guard to control citizens and it's not live on every major news network, it's a SERIOUS problem.

Via Acyn:

I'm ALSO not suggesting that if you're a national guardsman driving one of those trucks, maybe you get turned around and take the wrong exit. Happens all the time. We got a really confusing road network.

What’s happening in California is a Trump regime invasion.

Everybody do us Americans a favor and ask your government to hold America accountable for our crimes. Sanctions, boycott, anything. It appears that the only thing our government understands is brute force and blunt weapons. Gotta make it hurt.

One idea I like is making our government representatives sit outside of the room wherever they are invited. "You can come, but you have to wait outside. You have been misbehaving and cannot be trusted to act right with the other governments."

Update:

“The federal government is "moving to take over" the #California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers, Gov. Gavin #Newsom said today.

“That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions,” he said in a statement. “LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment’s notice.”
