Ex-Trump insider Lev Parnas over the weekend noted the situation surrounding the Los Angeles protests, saying āthe clock is tickingā as Trump has ātroops in the streets, tanks on standby, and plans to crush the resistance.ā
āI know a lot of you woke up this morning in shockāstaring at the footage out of Los Angeles, asking yourselves: How could this happen? Is this real? Is this really happening in the United States of America? But let me be clear, folksāthis is real. It is happening. And I need you to know that my sources deep inside Trump World have been warning me that what we witnessed overnight was no isolated event. Itās part of something much bigger. And what I have to tell you today is chilling,ā he wrote.
āYesterday, when Donald Trump deployed over 2,000 federal troops into Los Angeles under the justification of ārestoring order,ā most headlines ran with it like it was some isolated act of retaliationājust another example of Trump punishing blue states. And yes, part of this is personal. Make no mistake: this is revenge against California, against Governor Gavin Newsom, and against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. But itās not just about settling scores.ā
According to Parnas, in reality, āThis is about control.ā
āWhat happened yesterday in Los Angeles was a test runāa dry rehearsal for something much, much bigger. Iāve been hearing from multiple trusted insiders that Trumpās inner circleāparticularly Pete Hegseth and some of the more radicalized loyalists embedded at the Pentagonāare actively drafting operational plans for the mass mobilizations expected on June 14th,ā he added. āThis isnāt just about Trumpās birthday. This isnāt just about another vanity parade. This is about shutting down resistance.ā
Parnas added that Trump āfears the American people rising up on June 14th, in all 50 states, with signs that say No Kingsāwith voices that remind the world that we are still a democracy.ā
āThatās why heās pushing for tanks. Thatās why he wants the biggest military display America has seen since the Cold War. Because he wants the optics of power. He wants to smother the story before it even begins. He wants his parade to dominate the headlines, not the marchers in the streets fighting for democracy,ā he said. āBut I need you to understand this: According to my sources, there are discussions happening right nowāwithin Trumpās most trusted circleāabout invoking martial law if the protests āget out of hand.ā Theyāre looking for any excuse. Any video. Any act of violence. Any disruption. Thatās all they need to justify a crackdown.ā
He then warned people not to fall for a trap being set by Trump associates.
āAnd it gets worse. What Iām being told is that Trump alliesāincluding elements connected to Proud Boys, III Percenters, and other far-right militia networksāare planning to infiltrate the June 14th protests. Not to support them. To sabotage them. Their goal? Create chaos. Spark confrontation. Trigger a response from law enforcement. And then hand Trump the justification he needs to clamp down,ā Parnas wrote. āLet me say this loud and clear: We cannot give them that excuse.ā
Parnas went on to encourage peace, and told protesters to āstay vigilant.ā
Agreed. This was the most advertised and televised election in US history. The 90M people who sat out made a choice to do so.
Do you really think that an election would have prevented this man? This has been a concerted effort by a hostile enemy who has infiltrated the deepest levels of every American government branch, working towards this point for over 4 decades. The cops have been taken over by nazi gangs, and the FBI has known since the 90s. The heritage foundation has been funding and grooming judges with this express purpose, and laws and regulations have been being erroded this whole time in preparation. Just voting for the right guy would not have stopped any of this, esspetially when no party has been resisting any of this, with politicians at best calling for āunityā. I know how tempting the thought is to blame other workers, itās what weāve been taught to do and avoiding the real enemy makes us think we can avoid the horrific truth that there is no one coming to save us, and those we thought were there to protect us were stabbing us in the back the whole time. Not to mention their firepower. But you canāt fall prey to that thought. Use this as a time to realize there is no war but class war.
I know what Iām going to do, Iām going to protest no vote!
