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.

    Antifa is considered a terrorist organization and transgender people are considered nihilistic violent extremists. Really putting that “enemy within” part to work.

    I hate this country.

    If the Democrats had any fucking balls, they’d make sure he knows he’ll be up on treason charges the second they’re back in power. But they won’t, because they’re feckless enablers.

    It’s YOU. YOU are the “terrorist”. They are going to exterminate dissenters.

    “Designated” in what way?

    IIRC, Trump just designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization despite the fact that it has never committed terrorism and it is not an organization.

    This is just carte blanche to murder any political opposition.

    Did anybody else interpret Trump’s messages about Rob Reiner’s murder as the same as when a terrorist organization takes credit for an attack? If anything actually deserves to be designated as a terrorist organization, it’s MAGA.

    So the U.S. military will start killing Americans opposed to fascism (aka anti-fascists; aka the designated terrorist organization Antifa).

    Like we didn’t all see this coming…
    And yet I’m still surprised it’s arrived.

      Someone made a “should I buy a pistol” post the other day…

      And people were still saying it’s a bad idea.

      We passed the point where a pistol is enough anyways, and way past the time people need to prioritize their own safety.

      It’s easy as fuck to buy guns, ammo, and armor right now, but that could change literally tomorrow.

      I’ve been saying since Trump won the election, everyone needs a rifle and plated vest.

      It’s an insurance policy for our future, an armed populace is harder to oppress. And Trump’s pretty likely to try and oppress a whole lote of us…

      But people still don’t even have a pistol in 2025 America. I’m all for getting stricter gun laws, but until shits illegal, it’s stay strapped or get clapped like the 80s

          To echo what is said in the Paul Harrell videos posted, the best rifle to defend yourself/ your family/ your home with is the one you have.

          If that happens to be the hunting rifle that you inherited from your grand dad then so be it. What’s important is that you are know how it works, have ammunition for it, and have shot it more than once. Hope this was helpful!

            Sure, but it just seems very slow, and requires a good shot. A pistol or shotgun sound like better options, since they fire faster or wider.

              You are absolutely right that they are slow and require a high degree of training, competence, and accuracy to be a viable option for home/personal defense. There are absolutely better options for firearms that one could and should use but that wasn’t the point I was trying to make which was if you lack anything else then a hunting rifle is better than nothing unless you are a very skilled martial artist

    Is this a declaration of civil war? We all know their use of the term “terrorist organizations” is bullshit, so they are really just saying that they are going to start killing US citizens without due process on American soil. This general needs to be court martialed. He is not upholding his oath to the constitution.

    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.

      Just FYI, Domestic Terrorist doesn’t have any legal meaning in the USA.

      Trump saying something stupid doesn’t make it reality.

        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.

      Who do these war criminals and traitors think are going to protect them for the street of hard knocks? I keep saying this but I really think these fools think there are bunkers deep enough to hide and ride out all the civil unrest they are trying to sew.

      Soon everyone will be on the same page, and even the Trumpers are waking up, this is a class war being waged by less than 1000 billionaires to exterminate all of us people that get in the way of their happiness…

      Good luck using those guns when you get painted by a Predator drone from 8 miles away and have a missile shoved down your throat at Mach 2. That won’t happen? Tell that to all those people on the boats the US blew up. Oh wait you can’t, they all got murdered.

      The idea of fat idiots with guns somehow being the heroes who defend democracy against the big bad government is a joke. Not only is the power difference fucking huge, most of those gun freaks are fascist and bootlickers themselves. They voted for that big bad government. Americans are among the most brainwashed in the world and they don’t even know it.

        Missiles are expensive and always in short supply when you try to use a lot. Only the land forces have enough firepower to deal with the whole country.
