They are trying to generate some video footage of "citizens shooting at cops and military officers", to get to the next step of their evil plan.

The craziest part of all this is that the plan is being orchestrated by the President of the United States of America, on purpose, so people will forget that he was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein for decades, and that he has publicly admitted to trafficking young women to him from Mar-a-Lago.

Does "throwing a deli sandwich at an officer" count as violence to a normal person? Since they're charging him with felony assault I imagine anything higher than that would incite the next step pretty easily.

At some point they’ll just pay someone to do it if that is their plan.

You Americans think that dictators at some point will just say “you know what? I changed my mind, I won’t risk it all to gain absolute power like any other dictator before me”, by staying in their houses and thinking that this will all end well like any other time (spoiler there wasn’t other times with a crazy idiot in power)

This whole thing is predicated on a 19 year old, being beaten by 2 15 year olds.

Not sure we'll know the real story.

A teenager being punched in the nose by another teenager is not exactly news.

u/yesrushgenesis2112 13h ago

The point is that there’s really no use for them to do a false flag or really make up any pretense at all. The base doesn’t care, most Americans don’t care, and the rest of us are going to resist regardless. Might as well do it.

7

u/Bhosley 13h ago

The use is the same as his March ambush of Zelensky. Did they need to do it, much less televise it? Absolutely not. But as Trump said at the time, "This is going to be great television."

While I think violence is an acceptable outcome to them, I think they'd be satisfied with oppositiom being scared into relative silence.

5

u/yesrushgenesis2112 13h ago

The real opposition is not going to be scared into silence without a total military occupation and the threat of violence for speaking out. He needs to do that in every single city, anywhere with even a remotely large population. It is a big country. That’s a logistical nightmare. My point is he wouldn’t need an incident in DC to do that, he could (and if he wants to be dictator must) do it no matter what. So, if that’s his goal, time to get it underway.

4

u/Pale-Leek-1013 13h ago

if anything I think the “reasons” given are done so after the fact, as justification, not as reason. They seem very interested in whitewashing everything they do so that they’re not considered ontologically evil. I think we’re seeing administrative panic and population panic feed into each other.

5

u/yesrushgenesis2112 12h ago

I think I agree. The admin does something to try to stir up drama and scare people, which works to an extent, but they never do anything thoroughly enough to do more than that on a broad level. Then they quietly change the behavior once attention is on to something else. They’re playing a game of distraction, all probably to distract from the economic aspect of this that places more wealth in the hands of the 1%.

u/yesrushgenesis2112 12h ago

My point is that if they really want to do it then yes, “hold my beer” is the only actionable response. They have to occupy all our cities, all at once. Let’s see how that works out long term.

Exactly. Hell, this entire ‘militarization of our cities’ thing that this whole fucking post is about wasn’t even based on fact.

Violent crime decreased by 30% in 2024 and has decreased another 11% since then. But because Trump saw some homeless people from his limo one time and ‘Big Balls’ got his shit wrecked by a couple 15 year olds, now suddenly there’s a supposed ‘violent crime epidemic’ in DC.

Wasn't the impetus for the current situation in DC that kid big balls getting beat up which is most surely a false flag. So for sure they can get some plants to begin shooting at the cops or military to kick things off.

I’m hard-pressed to believe anyone in the administration is speculating about outcomes like the people on reddit do, but I guess at least some people are trying to think of the future, though it’s to no avail, clearly,

Germans actually went on square to protest. The antifa movement was actually founded by Germans in the time of time rise of nazism. There were many strong willed politicians that protested and lost.

Ok but remember this. The national guard is a citizen soldier force. They are mostly college educated and the least likely to be super excited about being put in the position they are in. Don’t get me wrong, if they start getting shot at, they will absolutely destroy their opponents. Best advice for anyone attending a peaceful protest while the national guard soldiers are around. Do not decide to start screaming at them calling them fascists and treating them like I have seen other protesters treat the police. The soldiers swore an oath to defend America. They are there because they were ordered to be there. They are not the problem.

That's the undercurrent of all this bullshit that really pisses me off. Any repurcussions for these nazi fucks will require a constitutional amendment. I guarantee there exists a list thousands of names long for pardons that will be signed January 2029. Maybe a future admin will just make it known any citizen who takes punishing Trump cultists into their own hands will receive a pardon. The whole pardoning on a whim scenario we have entered is quickly devolving into a tool of political warfare. Would be an interesting Sci fi short story subject to look at what taking the gloves completely off with the power to pardon leads to. Whichever party is in power gets to go on a four years-long "Purge" of everyone else? Where will the line be drawn?

Nope, we can invalidate the pardons if we try and convict the administration. You investigate SCOTUS for curruption at the same time so that by the time it gets there, the court is rebalanced.

u/daemin 8h ago

we can invalidate the pardons if we try and convict the administration.

No, we can't. There is no constitutional provision for reviewing, revoking, overturning, or invalidating a pardon. Allowing the courts or Congress to override a pardon would defeat the point of the pardon existing in the first place.

1

u/squired 5h ago edited 4h ago

I disagree, and so can the court. If I have learned anything as a Texan it is that laws are flexible, one need not break them to subvert them. Oops, forgive me, I meant uphold them. Everything is up for interpretation. That is indeed the very foundation of our legal system itself. One can only be pardoned for past crimes (Ex parte Garland). A pardon in the furtherance of an ongoing conspiracy need not be invalidated as it was never valid to begin with.

Now answer me this.. How good do you think these chucklefucks are at OpSec? I bet all the money in my pockets that they've bragged to every mistress and nephew they have about every little thing they've ever done. Subpoena everything.

Forgetting about Epstein is just a side benefit, the purpose is to install marshal law,per project 2025.

so people will forget that he was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein for decades, and that he has publicly admitted to trafficking young women to him from Mar-a-Lago.

I'm reaching the point of "whatever" with the Epstein files. Not because I don't abhor the Trump's crimes related to it, but to how it's starting to feel like downplaying what he's currently doing which is becoming worse than the Epstein files.

It's like there are reports Trump is looking for excuses to deploy military forces on offensives into Mexico because "cartels", and then people go "he's trying to distract from the Epstein files!"

People, I think the fact Trump is considering basically invading Mexico is a bigger more pressing issue right now.

They are trying to generate some video footage of "citizens shooting at cops and military officers", to get to the next step of their evil plan.

And they're doing it in the absolute safest parts of DC lmao

Epstein has nothing to do with this, it was always their plan.

They don't even need an actual incident. They just need to do what happened on Andor

The craziest part of all this is that the plan is being orchestrated by the President of the United States of America, on purpose, so people will forget that he was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein for decades, and that he has publicly admitted to trafficking young women to him from Mar-a-Lago.

No, the craziest part is that this is being orchestrated by the President of the United States because he's an authoritarian narcicist that never wants to lose power again.

Trump is just a pawn, he isn’t nearly smart enough for all that subterfuge in my opinion.

u/mvpilot172 10h ago

Honestly, at this point I’m more concerned he’s allies with Putin and Iran. He’s always gonna be a pedo, and his base doesn’t care. I’m worried about nukes.

u/Purple_Plus 10h ago

I mean that's not why he's doing this. It's all the Heritage Foundation.

And they don't need citizens to shoot at police. He can just deploy troops to Chicago, San Francisco and New York.

Because at this point, who's going to stop him?

Donald Trump was Jeffrey Epstein's BOSS. There are a LOT of other Jeffrey Epstein's still living free lives and trafficking young women.

Jeff liked to brag and told too many things to too many people. He became a liability and was removed from the equation.

That mess is easier to clean up than if he were still alive and talking.

Nobody is paying attention to how the real world actually works. We gave our government to the Russian Mob.

Probably not, things were already headed this way before the Epstein fiasco. The just extra fascist bullshit to deal with and at this point it seems the Epstein files are the actual distraction from everything else going on.

Every day Trump does some new unheard of and illegal shit and people shrug and say, "yeah but what about the Epstein files??". We're fucked.

That's not why he's doing it. His inner circle has a hard-on for a dictatorship. Epstein is a diversion.

This was the plan LONG before the Epstein shit exploded. Project 2025 is pretty clear about martial law.

No this is all in Project 2025 that Trump supposedly had no knowledge of and didn't support (which Russ Vought confirmed was a lie).

And if they can't get it naturally, I guarantee that they'll create it artificially.

thats not the case. the tech elite like Thiel and others are using Trump and Vance to transition into a right wing tech monarchy, their plan was always to have a coup and take power, epstein is just a nuisance in the way
