I am learning that any and all news concerning the recent two plane crashes, will only be released to X for distribution to the people in the United States. Anyone who has even a small amount of knowledge about the Nazi in Germany, recognize this as a means to control information. If anyone has any doubts about t/rump and the Rethugs moving us toward fascism, those doubts should be gone. We are facing a clear and present danger to our republic. It’s now time to resist in any way possible! This is why i subscribed to the Meidastouch. It’s a beacon of light in the very dark days of our republic.

The fact is that Trump potentially faced prison (or more large $$ judgments) and Musk was facing multiple government investigations (SpaceX safety issues among others) — so they had “a reason to commit fraud” (the election) [one element when considering fraud is pressure]; they also had the opportunity to commit fraud (known vulnerabilities in voting machines and data in transit could be exploited using mass collusion); finally, there is rationalization (just like an abusive life partner, they gaslight Americans who they regard as stupid into believing they are doing it for them — to make THEIR lives better)

Wake up, Americans (I’m no longer referring to Americans as Republicans, MAGA, Democrats, Independents, etc. I believe we need to be speaking to EVERYONE at this moment as “fellow Americans”!!!) and do not believe a con man, no matter what they promise you. A con is a con!

A con man is a con, except to anyone in his cult. The MAGA (Morons Are Gullible Assholes) movement is based on the cult of t/rumpism. Like every member in a cult, the trumpets do not believe they are being conned. Thanks to the saturation of our media with Reich wing propaganda, lies have become truths and truths have become lies.

Read what they’ve done to the Pentagon office and news outlets. You’re absolutely correct. We are on our own when it comes to getting accurate information.

Oh yes it's a replay of the NSDAP 1932-45.

WE NEED A MILITARY COUP!

Adam, I agree. Ever since General Millie’s portrait was removed and his security detail canceled, there must be s majority of those in the military who object to this retribution, and wish to respond. With a weasel sitting in the corner office at the pentagon, perhaps they can remove him, too.

Considering the Secretary of Defense is part of the incoming Nazi fascist regime, I would not count on any help from our current military. Regarding just civilians bringing an armed revolt, I am skeptical. I am skeptical because no matter how many weapons the civilian population has in the United States, going against our current military is a huge lift. I don’t know anyone with a weapon strong enough to stop Abrams tanks, Apache helicopters, F-16 and F-22 jets or a cruise missile. These are the type weapons a civilian revolt will face. Bottom line: the U.S. military is built to take on another super power. I don’t see them having much trouble handling an outright violent revolt by a bunch of civilians.

But will our military actually follow these illegal orders? The PCA outlaws the willful use of the military unless expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. I know they are shredding the constitution, but the military took an oath to uphold the Constitution, not a politician. If he does this, and declares martial law after the demonstrations start, he will then use an Executive Order to suspend the 2nd amendment and confiscate all guns. Dictators always disarm their citizens.

The military, like every profession, has people that are honorable and those that are dishonorable. The real hope we have in the military, is if the honorable people can control the dishonorable ones. Time will tell.

If a military coup occurs, it will be because we have lost the republic.
