FAIR USE.

OUR WAKE-UP CALL!

I will not return to my beloved country for any reason until we have regime change, as I am probably on a watch list for protesting here, in writing, of  presidential over-reach. WHY?   This! — after serving four years (as a highly-decorated sailor, E-5, for my professionalism; and defending our Constitution) — I will not surrender my liberties to a punk, draft-dodging dictator! —

Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, et al, issued a MEMO naming domestic protestors as enemies of the state, thus suspending our First Amendment freedom of speech!  (And the “supremes” say he can do whatever he wants, while the cowards in congress hide, mumbling “Amen”, hoping he won’t look their way.)

EXCERPT from a message by two former elected US Congressional officials:
.
Consider what happened in plain sight over the past nine months. On September 25, 2025, the president signed a directive called a National Presidential Security Memorandum known as NPSM-7 (titled “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence”). Its language designates as targets of federal counterterrorism authorities Americans whose sponsors are labeled “anti-American,” “anti-capitalist,” “anti-Christian,” or “hostile to traditional American views on family, religion and morality.” No statute authorizes the federal government to treat protected political speech as terrorism; NPSM-7 does it anyway.
.

On September 30, 2025, the president stood before nearly 800 senior military commanders at Marine Base Quantico, an assembly without modern precedent, and told them that the United States was “under invasion from within.” He said, “the enemy is not in Beijing or Moscow. The enemy is domestic,” adding that US cities should serve as “training grounds” for troops to target domestic “enemies.”

NPSM-7, the sweeping federal directive issued by the White House, orders federal agencies to aggressively investigate and disrupt groups or financial networks associated with political violence and domestic terrorism. It tasked the FBI, the IRS, and the Treasury Department with tracking the funding sources and supporters of organizations suspected of directly or indirectly facilitating political unrest, with no reference to the First Amendment.

Soon thereafter the FBI organized a Joint Mission Center, drawing hundreds of personnel from 10 federal agencies to identify and prosecute the targets of NPSM-7.  […READ MORE…it gets worse!]
