Summary

Donald Trump’s return to the presidency has triggered sweeping purges and retributions against officials he deems disloyal.

He revoked Secret Service protection for former national security figures, fired Department of Justice lawyers investigating him, dismissed 30 inspectors general without notice, and reassigned career officials.

Federal employees face pressure to demonstrate loyalty or face removal.

An executive order mandates reviewing agencies involved in Trump-related investigations, fueling concerns of systemic retaliation.

Insiders describe the atmosphere as “shell-shocked” and worse than expected.

    I’m just waiting for the false flag crisis to justify power consolidation if not full blown martial law.

    Everyone should read The Shock Doctrine.

      I just hope not to be wherever it is when it does, cause I fully expect it to be an attempt to outclass 9/11.

      If I had to guess, it will be a mixed income, densely populated area and will involve either a school, a hospital, or like a chemical plant that devastates a city.

      They’ll probably use something like “Ukrainian extremists” who got mad that the US stopped sending supplies.

      They can’t do it yet though, people aren’t angry enough. Once a bunch of programs are gone, and people can’t work, they’re ripe for plucking into the military. Then they do the false flag, rile up the states and start a conquest for the rest of North America.
