Bovino’s rant fits the authoritarian indicators in our assessment: empowered security forces acting with impunity, militarized immigration raids, executive overreach through federalized enforcement, and loyalty-driven ops unmoored from oversight. His tone isn’t an outlier but a symptom.

This does not sit well for the American people. Our gut is telling us something is wrong here.

The question comes up over and over again: if there’s nothing to hide, then why is the President engaged in such a clear cover up and pressure campaign of Members of Congress?

True to their tactics, blame. They are part of a global crime syndicate that utilizes manipulation, primarily though extortion to install authoritarian leaders in each and every country spearheaded by Epstein and technocrats in an attempt to globally enslave us. See: recent Epstein emails.

All power to all the people for all time. A huge source of revolutionary optimism. Inspiration. They literally wrote the book on how to fire your boss. Of course the government and the CIA are going to demonize it. Elevate fascism. People power scares them. Wake up.

So the federal government is fighting a global war on Antifa in defense of western civilization (their words). Seems like something the major media might want to look into or mention at all

Socialism says the government runs it all.

Democratic socialism says the people run the government.

One’s a dictatorship. The other’s democracy with compassion.
Don’t let fear mongers blur that line. Learn the difference #txlege #democrats

13% of Americans polled want SOME of the files released.
