Trump's AmeriKa in 2025
These images from San Diego are outrageous and intolerable in a free society.
Department of Homeland Security agents have absolutely no business being kitted up for war, while operating in San Diego.
No.
The masks are outrageous.
The long rifles are outrageous.
The lack of identification is outrageous.
It is unacceptable.
The Homeland Security Act, which included the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security, was signed into law on November 25, 2002, by George W. Bush in the aftermath of the September 11 terror attacks.
Here is what President Bush said when he created the agency:
Today, we are taking historic action to defend the United States and protect our citizens against the dangers of a new era. With my signature, this act of Congress will create a new Department of Homeland Security, ensuring that our efforts to defend this country are comprehensive and united.
The new department will analyze threats, will guard our borders and airports, protect our critical infrastructure, and coordinate the response of our nation for future emergencies. The Department of Homeland Security will focus the full resources of the American government on the safety of the American people. This essential reform was carefully considered by Congress and enacted with strong bipartisan majorities…
…From the morning of September the 11th, 2001, to this hour, America has been engaged in an unprecedented effort to defend our freedom and our security. We're fighting a war against terror with all our resources, and we're determined to win.
With the help of many nations, with the help of 90 nations, we're tracking terrorist activity, we're freezing terrorist finances, we're disrupting terrorist plots, we're shutting down terrorist camps, we're on the hunt one person at a time. Many terrorists are now being interrogated. Many terrorists have been killed. We've liberated a country.
We recognize our greatest security is found in the relentless pursuit of these cold-blooded killers. Yet, because terrorists are targeting America, the front of the new war is here in America. Our life changed and changed in dramatic fashion on September the 11th, 2001.
In the last 14 months, every level of our government has taken steps to be better prepared against a terrorist attack. We understand the nature of the enemy. We understand they hate us because of what we love. We're doing everything we can to enhance security at our airports and power plants and border crossings. We've deployed detection equipment to look for weapons of mass destruction. We've given law enforcement better tools to detect and disrupt terrorist cells which might be hiding in our own country…
…The Homeland Security Act of 2002 takes the next critical steps in defending our country. The continuing threat of terrorism, the threat of mass murder on our own soil will be met with a unified, effective response.
Dozens of agencies charged with homeland security will now be located within one Cabinet department with the mandate and legal authority to protect our people. America will be better able to respond to any future attacks, to reduce our vulnerability and, most important, prevent the terrorists from taking innocent American lives…
…When the Department of Homeland Security is fully operational, it will enhance the safety of our people in very practical ways.
First, this new department will analyze intelligence information on terror threats collected by the CIA, the FBI, the National Security Agency and others. The department will match this intelligence against the nation's vulnerabilities -- and work with other agencies, and the private sector, and state and local governments to harden America's defenses against terror.
Second, the department will gather and focus all our efforts to face the challenge of cyberterrorism, and the even worse danger of nuclear, chemical, and biological terrorism. This department will be charged with encouraging research on new technologies that can detect these threats in time to prevent an attack.
Third, state and local governments will be able to turn for help and information to one federal domestic security agency, instead of more than 20 agencies that currently divide these responsibilities. This will help our local governments work in concert with the federal government for the sake of all the people of America.
Fourth, the new department will bring together the agencies responsible for border, coastline, and transportation security. There will be a coordinated effort to safeguard our transportation systems and to secure the border so that we're better able to protect our citizens and welcome our friends.
Fifth, the department will work with state and local officials to prepare our response to any future terrorist attack that may come. We have found that the first hours and even the first minutes after the attack can be crucial in saving lives, and our first responders need the carefully planned and drilled strategies that will make their work effective…
…We're fighting a new kind of war against determined enemies. And public servants long into the future will bear the responsibility to defend Americans against terror. This administration and this Congress have the duty of putting that system into place. We will fulfill that duty. With the Homeland Security Act, we're doing everything we can to protect America. We're showing the resolve of this great nation to defend our freedom, our security and our way of life.
It has become what its worst critics feared.
This is what American Gestapo looks like. They are ready to wage war for Trump against America and government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
They are faithless to the Constitution and strangers to the concept of restraint, good judgement or common sense. Each is an embarrassment to American law enforcement, and each is a threat to the American citizen.
Led by thuggish sociopaths like Kristi Noem, Tom Homan and Corey Lewandowski, the Department of Homeland Security goon squad is immoral, heavy-handed, lawless and abusive.
Wherever they are encountered they should be filmed and recorded.
A record must be made because there will be accountability for these transgressions.
The purpose of these raids is to make the average citizen fearful of their government so that the corrupt men and women who lead it can take what they want and do as they please. All the while, everyone is forced to submit, lest they meet the jack-booted government thugs who may be wearing suits on any given day.
Over many years, I have said that fascism was approaching American shores and growing from within.
I was called “over the top.”
I was correct.
Fascism has come to America wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.
This is Trump’s AmeriKa in 2025:
The Warning will not bend the knee or get in line.
Here the truth will be told wherever the chips may fall.
I hope you will support our work.
Do not be afraid.
This must be a defiant hour for all of us.
Our fellow citizens in South Park, San Diego, showed the whole world something about American character this week.
We are walking forward together into historic days that will be remembered as among the Republic’s most difficult and challenging.
It turns out that what was happening in America over the last 25 years was that things were falling apart. Too many mistook quiet for peace, and now we have arrived at the edge of the storm.
June 14, 2025, will be a historic day in America where a great battle line between right and wrong is drawn.
Down with the King.
They have poke the f’n bear so the reckoning arrived. Excellent public response! Also, Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦!! Blue Revolution now!!
American Gestapo… Faithless to the constitution… Thuggish sociopaths…… How right you are, Steve. If ANY of this behavior is legal, why are faces covered? And those long guns in addition to holstered guns? God help us!
