I said about three years ago, “The changes we are seeing in America will get more critical (crazy), and the speed with which they come at us will be progressively faster and faster.” Unfortunately I was right, but I also believe that pace will continue to accelerate for at least the near future. Why? Because the Left (Marxists) in this country is anxious to make its touchdown — the U.S. becoming the next soviet state. i.e., USSA
We have witnessed changes made across the U.S. which are designed to weaken our police in America. Many find that hard to understand. What good could come of it?
If we downsize or de-fund our police, America will turn into a lawless country of chaos. If that were to happen, who would step in to control the chaos in our cities and bring peace back to our streets? The police who are retiring at a rapid rate? The younger generation who wants no part of law enforcement, because it’s either too hard a job or it doesn’t pay enough? Not to mention they would be on the ‘wrong’ side!?
What most of us don’t know is that the federal government has been growing their national police force(s) very rapidly over the last two decades. And, their powers have grown just as fast. The majority of the federal police (e.g., FBI, NSA, DSA, etc.) in the U.S. have been using their powers in ways unlike at any other time in recent history.
During Germany’s ‘transformation’ in the 1930’s the local police were impacted greatly. Because Hitler’s intent was to morph Germany into a National Socialist country with a totalitarian dictator, it meant changes were needed for his success. It was necessary to address any police force that would potentially oppose him in order to assure his success.
Initially he created the ‘brown shirts’ which were similar to the Bolsheviks of Lenin’s time who helped get him into power. But after Hitler was in power, he created the Gestapo which were the investigative arm of his ‘gang’. They had few boundaries to work within and could pick up anyone without question after doing a small amount of investigation.
The truly scary thing is, we are seeing some similar activities going on today which could potentially lead to our way of life causing it to take a sharp Left turn. e.g., Arresting and locking up Americans with no formal charges filed and holding those people for months without arraignment. (January 6th ‘terrorists’)
If you watch the video below, you will see changes reported in the federal police that are hard to believe. And there’s not just one of those changes or one organization that is changing — it is many!
This is a one hour video. But Glenn dishes out a tremendous amount of relevant information in that time, a lot of which is shocking to listen to. He comes by the information via sources that most people don’t have and the many journalists he has on his payroll. These investigations typically take weeks or longer to gather. His reports are not contrived nor generalizations, but factual reports based on evidence.
You should find several in the video of interest.
I have written more articles in the last few weeks than I have in the past several months. But that is because the magnitude of the changes taking place are truly scary, if you understand them and their implications. Our freedoms are precariously perched on a razor’s edge and we could fall like many countries before us. e.g., Venezuela, Cuba, et al
My hope is that the citizens of this country stop bickering with one another and start coming together against a common enemy — the Marxist threat. My second hope is that law enforcement today — active and retired — join together in honoring their oath “to protect and defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic”. They might be the tip of the spear we need to keep our country together in the not too distant future. .?

Within the recent three years I have said that we will see more extreme actions being taken by the Left (Marxists) and at a progressively more rapid rate. We are seeing that rate moving faster every month now, not to mention the level of insanity. i.e., wokeness
The American people should be shaking in their boots if they only had a clue as to what is happening within America and to all of us . However, sadly, the financially unstable people are struggling to maintain a livelihood, and the financially stable people are busy having a good time, often ignoring or not caring what is going on — much less taking any of them taking any independent action of their own to bring awareness or resist the insanity in any way.
In my recent article The Sinking of America — The Afghanistan Debacle, I correlated the efforts of the Marxists’ fairly recent actions (10-15 years) designed to destroy our reputation within America and with the Afghanistan war pull-out designed to destroy the world’s view of us. The result unfortunately is, the world has a very dim view of America and our not being the world’s leader any longer.
Toward the end of the last term of the Obama presidency, he made an effort to make a clean sweep of our military leaders. He targeted everyone from the level of O6 (Colonel) to the very top ranks. Each of those people were interviewed, and if their ideology did not match what he was looking for, they were immediately released from the military. What could become of that action you ask? You are seeing the net result today. e.g., Afghanistan Instead of the military leaders initiating an intelligent exit from Afghanistan, they throw a multi-billion dollar air force base to the side along with $85B in weapons and equipment and endanger thousands of lives (American and friends) — without reason..?
Now, to insure we are the weakest military in the world, Biden & Co. are picking up the baton from Obama and carrying Obama’s actions to the next level — insuring that the leadership of tomorrow’s military are ‘woke’.
Hard to believe? Read the following article from The Federalist. (Original article link is here.)
There is no greater danger to the country than this effort to politicize the military by ensuring that all officers hew to the political party line of this administration.
President Joe Biden and his administration are continuing to purge and politicize the American military. Consistent with the totalitarian left’s effort to control curricula down to the grade-school level, their latest effort targets the education of America’s future military leaders at the service academies: The U. S. Military Academy at West Point, the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.
This is not happening by accident. And there is no greater danger to the country than this effort to politicize the military by ensuring that all officers hew to the political party line of this administration.
Each of the service academies is overseen by a bipartisan “Board of Visitors,” comprised of accomplished members of Congress, retired military personnel, and distinguished civilians. By federal statute, these Boards of Visitors are charged with a duty to “inquire into the morale and discipline, the curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, fiscal affairs, academic methods, and other matters relating to the Academy.” The members visit the academies regularly and by law are required to submit an annual “written report to the President of its action, and of its views and recommendations pertaining to the Academy.”
On January 30, less than two weeks after President Biden’s inauguration, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced he was suspending the Boards of Visitors for West Point, the Air Force Academy, and the Naval Academy, along with those of 39 other DOD advisory boards. This suspension of operations was to take place “immediately,” pending completion of what Austin called a “Zero-Based Review” of the boards. This was to include recommendations of “changes to mission or functions, membership balance, [and] membership size.”
Although the service academies’ Boards of Visitors’ operations were suspended, their membership was retained, at least temporarily. Austin could not fire the members of their boards because they are appointed, by statute, by congressional leadership and the president. That purge would have to come later, as it now has.
Austin ordered that the review of service academies’ boards was to be completed by April 30. This has yet to occur. However, on Aug. 27, Susan Gough, a Pentagon “Strategic Planner & Spokesperson,” announced: “Largely, the zero-based review committee-level work has been completed, and Secretary Austin is examining the recommendations to determine how he wants to move forward…. We don’t have any specific announcements to make at this time, but we should be able to communicate in more detail soon about what boards are going to be reconstituted and how they’re going to be both chaired and populated” (emphasis added).
The next shoe dropped on Sept. 8, when the White House purported to fire the service academies board members appointed by President Trump. Notwithstanding Biden’s self-professed policy of unity and “bringing the nation together,” this unprecedented action was calculated to be as insulting as possible.
Biden’s director of the Office of White House Personnel, Catherine Russell, sent letters to all the president-appointed members requesting their resignations that same day with a caveat that they would be terminated if they did not resign voluntarily by 6:00 p.m. She did not include any recognition of their past service, just a perfunctory “thank you” for their demanded resignation. Nor did she give any reason for the firings, or mention that each member had been appointed for a three-year term.
This message came from the top. Russell is not some third-tier millennial who is freelancing policy decisions without the president’s knowledge and approval. She is a senior, experienced Democrat political operative who is a “longtime adviser to both Vice President Biden and his wife Dr. Jill Biden.”
Among other things, she is a former chief of staff to Jill Biden, an “ambassador-at-large for Global Women’s Issues,” and is married to President Obama’s National Security Advisor Tom Donilon. Her brother-in-law is Mike Donilon, a lawyer and political consultant who was the chief strategist of Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign and now serves as a “chief advisor” to Biden. These are top-level, plugged-in people who are part of the policy-making core group of political operatives running this show.
Another “Special Assistant to the President,” a thirty-somethingish Katie Petrelius, added (more) insult to injury in an email, curtly informing the distinguished members like Gens. Jack Keane and H. R. McMaster, Rep. Sean Spicer, and others that, “If we do not receive your resignation by end of day today, you will be terminated.”
Russell’s and Petrelius’s heavy-handed and dangerous effort to eradicate independent and diverse viewpoints are clearly part of a coordinated strategy. It fulfills the Pentagon’s promise “to communicate in more detail” about how the boards will be “reconstituted and how they’re going to be both chaired and populated.”
As of this writing, the administration and its allies in the press have not yet coordinated their defense of this political purge. The first weak effort was Jen Psaki’s in her Sept. 8 press briefing. She gave the game away when she defended the firings, saying among other absurdities, that “the president’s qualification requirements are …. whether you’re aligned with the values of this administration.”
Think about that: Those overseeing the education of our future military leaders must align themselves with Joe Biden’s thinking and values. Scary thought.
These lefties are saying retired vice chief of staff and four-star general Keane, West Point distinguished graduate and three-star general McMaster, and Spicer, however competent they may be, are not fit to serve this country overseeing the military service academies because they are too diverse—they may not be “aligned with the values of this administration.” What an utter disgrace. And a dangerous one.
The American people need to fully understand how dangerous a precedent this administration is setting for the country. It is not just part of the continuing Biden purge of anything Trump touched, although it is that. It is part of the political left’s relentless drive to force political conformity in thought, word, and deed on all segments of society, including the military.
It is also an attempt to overthrow the fundamental military ethos and tradition of being apolitical. The military has always had a long and valued tradition of being apolitical. In all this writer’s years of active service, all of which were during the Vietnam War, I never heard an officer criticize any president or push any political position.
Most officers and non-commissioned officers take pride in that. Their sworn loyalty is to the Constitution, not to any particular president or administration. This ethos and tradition also have the force of law. They are enshrined in Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. It is commanded by law for good reason: A politicized military would pose an existential danger to our constitutional order.
The apolitical nature of the military, along with its competence, is one of our country’s crown jewels. It is a priceless tradition.
It is priceless because its elimination for a standard by which those overseeing the education of our future military officers must agree with “the values of this administration” would inevitably fully politicize the U.S. military (a process many fear is already underway). There is no greater danger to both the safety and the freedom of the American people.

With China’s threats and possible military action looming at our near horizon, this should scare the **** out of anyone reading it.!!? This could mean that our future military has as leadership nothing but woke officers leading our soldiers. And, their twisted thinking would be forced down the throats of the enlisted personnel soon afterward. How would that work in any significant military engagement?
I’ve been saying for years that we are moving toward the Left’s endgame for a long time. Every aspect of this country is being ‘reinvented’ and our country destroyed , unidentifiable from what our founders intended. Worse, if America continues on this path much longer, it will be game over for not only America, but the world. We are the anchor of the world and model for freedom — or have been.
I believe in prayer, but I also believe in action. If the American people do not rise up, push back, and stop this insanity SOON, we will be done, toast, kaput. And when I mean soon, that means to me, in the next two years. The Left (Marxist) in this country have a timetable and they need this effort to be game over by 2024 — no later. That’s not a very long from now.
What does ‘game over’ mean?
An economy that will make the 1930’s depression look like the good ol’ days, which shouldn’t be difficult given the debt we have accrued. Crime and chaos worse than we could imagine, not just in Chicago, but everywhere would make our lives difficult to deal with. And, we would be living in fear of any number of countries attacking us and our not having a chance to successfully win a war with a bunch of woke generals along with junior officers (aka, snowflakes). Fear would be the watch word of the day, every day.
If you think this is a lot of crazy talk to be ignored, just clear your computer screen and go have a drink on me. Otherwise, you and everyone else in this country had better wake up quick!
We are dying a death of a thousand cuts. This article and others I have written (Justice4USA.wordpress.com) is describing merely a few of the thousands of cuts we’ve already experienced — and likely you never knew they even happened. Why not? Because people don’t like to share bad news or honest news — especially the media and the press. Propaganda is everywhere and it is hard to find the truth. Before long, the truth will no longer be available at all. In actuality, many people in this country don’t believe there is any truth.
Please share this article with anyone and everyone, even if they aren’t believers of realistic reporting. They might tell someone about the stupid article they read, and by ‘accident’, share the truth by mistake.
