In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled @Patriot_Josh11 "The fires in California are not the beginning of chaos—they are the end of illusion. The mask is off. The rebellion is real. And soon, so will be the response.", ransomnote wrote: I have been looking at assertions by the left which insist the country is under nationwide martial law based on President Trump's June 7 memorandum. It seemed like standard issue histrionics from the left. The President's memorandum specifies the deployment of the National Guard based on 10 U.S.C. 12406.
Numerous incidents of violence and disorder have recently occurred and threaten to continue in response to the enforcement of Federal law by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other United States Government personnel who are performing Federal functions and supporting the faithful execution of Federal immigration laws. In addition, violent protests threaten the security of and significant damage to Federal immigration detention facilities and other Federal property. To the extent that protests or acts of violence directly inhibit the execution of the laws, they constitute a form of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.
This doesn't read like the 'nationwide' and 'indefinite' deployment. However, the President and members of his Administration are clearly stating that this is rebellion, insurgency etc.
ransomnote: I can see that the President's use of the National Guard establishes "a form of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States" is being enacted. John Rich posted about advertisements in Craigslist to hire tough guys for up to $12,500 a week.
The Craigslist advertisement has been taken down but the text was copied and saved here.Just as the presence of rebellion against the sovereignty of the United States warrants the use of the National Guard, the context is now set before the public and the door is open to send any other resources as needed to protect ICE, other officials, property and public safety.
ransomnote: The public, along with our enemies, and members of the international community has not been prepared psychologically for our government to address insurrection in the modern age. Getting hit in the face in response to spitting in the faces of our serviceman or police should not come as a shock to the privileged, paid rioters.
So I saw the post in the OP and can perceive how the groundwork has been laid; if our enemies want to escalate, we will escalate.
ransomnote: I now believe my prior post (April 29) about 6 weeks of planned protests ending in mid-june were simply a staging and recruiting effort; with NGO and USAID monies drying up, our enemies planned in private for quite May 1st and continuing to the present. THey needed a running start to get their insurrection in place.
June 14 was to have been a 'special day' for the rioters nationwide, but President Trump is already depleting their efforts and I expect our enemies to be very disappointed.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching Gavin Newsom squirm on camera; this planned event is not unfolding the way he expected. Suddenly, Newsom is outraged, OUTRAGED, because our military is sleeping on the floor?
ransomnote: Oh noes! Where will our military get food, water or fuel!!!? It's as though the left has forgotten our military fights on the farthest shores and can handle itself with honor and valor under extremes of deprivation. Newsom could house those troops if he were genuinely concerned. He's not. Newsom is just scared, clutching at optics that used to work during Obama/Biden eras.
