The commander of the arm of the U.S. military responsible for Donald Trump’s illegal military occupations of American cities said he is willing to conduct attacks on so-called designated terrorist organizations within the U.S.

This startling admission comes after months of extrajudicial killings of alleged members or affiliates of DTOs in the waters near Venezuela, which experts and lawmakers say are outright murders.

Gen. Gregory Guillot’s sopenness about the potential for unprecedented military action within U.S. borders comes as the White House, Pentagon, and Justice Department continue to refuse to rule out summary executions of Americans on Trump’s secret enemies list, after weeks of requests for clarifications from The Intercept.

    This is why they made antifa in to a terrorist label. Now you can kill anyone you want. Everyone is antifa whenever it serves Trump.

        Yeah, “as American as apple pie”, because America has always dressed fascist politics up as patriotism (the German American Bund’s 1939 “pro-Americanism” Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden drew 20,000+ people), then turned “extremist” labels into a weapon against the left (COINTELPRO was explicitly built to surveil/infiltrate/disrupt “subversive” movements), and when it was useful it literally gave Nazis a second life in the U.S. (Operation Paperclip brought 1,600+ German specialists into U.S. government work, including confirmed Nazi Party/SS/SA members, and U.S. intelligence also helped specific war criminals like Klaus Barbie evade justice and resettle).

        Trump is just the loudest salesman for a much older American habit: people fixate on the personality while swallowing the “terrorist” framing that expands the state’s permission slip to cage, crush, and kill. And it’s the same story with Israel: it constitutionally entrenches ethno-national supremacy through the 2018 Nation-State Law, empowers ministers like Ben-Gvir and Smotrich who openly talk and act in eliminationist terms, and America is unapologetically supportive of evening they do and it’s gleefully funding genocide they’re committing. America and Israel are fascist as fuck.

      Palestine was the test bed for this shit.

      We demoed our ethnic cleansing systems over there so we could deploy them over here.

        Exactly, centrist liberals forced us to this point by ignoring the boomerang of colonial violence headed straight for our faces AND the desperate attempts by the left to point it out.

        This is going to hurt.
