Is Trump Restoring or Militarizing DC?

What’s being praised as Trump’s mission to clean up the capital—its rising crime rates and, yes, the sprawling homeless encampments that have been swallowing sidewalks and city parks – can also be viewed as Trump Militarizing DC.

What?

And it’s NOT an emergency as he claims in order to make DC presentable.

The problem with that is the only way the DC will ever be “presentable” again is when the criminal traitors within it are arrested, tried, and hung.

Unfortunately, we are witnessing history repeating as Trump is Militarizing DC…District of Corruption.

 

 

 

 

Trump’s decision to send the National Guard into Washington, D.C., will be defended as a matter of national security.

But history teaches us this is not about protecting the people at all.

 

Huh?

 

The National Guard was deployed to protect the political class from the people.

Historically, militarizing a capital is interpreted by foreign capital as a sign of internal instability.

The US government now fears its citizens, and the leaders believe they need added layers of protection.

 

And we have been down this same path throughout history.

In ancient Rome, once the Praetorian Guard was stationed in the city to guard the emperor, it became the power behind the throne.

Their loyalty was to themselves and the politicians in control at that time.

The guard was not sent to protect the Republic, and certainly not the people.

 

Militarizing DC

 

 

Ironically (or NOT) The same predicament happened in America’s short history.

 

Wait! What?

 

There was genuine fear in late 1860 and early 1861 that secessionist militias or Confederate sympathizers might attack Washington, capture federal buildings, or even seize Lincoln before his inauguration.

At the start of 1861, Federal troops were quietly moved into the city. Army units from various forts were sent to guard the Capitol building, the White House, and key bridges into the city.

Lincoln was inaugurated in March of 1861, but the new administration took power under the protection of a heavily militarized capital.

Various Southern states began declaring secession following the election of November 1860, as they refused to accept Lincoln as their leader.

The Battle of Fort Sumter that April took place a month after Lincoln’s inauguration, which acted as the catalyst to the Civil War.

We have reached a point where neither side of the political aisle sees the other as a legitimate rival.

They see their opponents as an existential threat.

And tensions have been boiling since Trump won re-election.

The homeless crisis is a false flag and a lame excuse.

The data shows that homelessness in Washington, D.C., decreased by 9% YoY. Violent crimes have declined 26% over the same period.

Of course, this move is likely not about the homeless population at all.

We are witnessing the militarization of D.C.

Historically, governments surround themselves with troops when they no longer trust the people.

The symbolism is critical–once you militarize your own capital, you are crossing the Rubicon toward authoritarianism.

So, will we continue down the same path as Rome?
