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.

    Military in nation with authoritarian leader consolidating power for authoritarian takeover says things about consolidating power to continue the authoritarian takeover, more at 11.

    The people in the military who could do something about this are caught in self-imposed ethical conundrums and leaving all on their own while the people who don’t care and are even willing to fuel their future dictator into power have no restraint whatsoever and are getting rewarded for it. Hey, at least when it’s all over, that imaginary good guy in the sky will materialize before you and tell you how you did the right thing, right?
