"Psychological Operations, or PsyOps, spread false flags and propaganda to weaken morale. PsyOps become illegal if the intent is to spread terror among the civilian population, including threats of violence, all of which Trump is already in violation."

"Americans who have only a casual acquaintance with news are unaware of the threats that Trump made.”

When under-informed Americans see volunteers standing on street corners asking them to protest on October 18, they may wrongly believe that we are “crackpots.”"

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

"The big ugly bill was wildly unpopular. Trump is wildly unpopular. The tariffs, masked men, military on streets, gutting health care, unraveling of our vaccine regime, all wildly unpopular.

And they are going to put all of this into a year-end budget?"

"After the 2008-2009 collapse, the public was enraged. Then the “Tea Party” appeared out of thin air to blame…“taxes?”

So America went from demanding the heads of CEOs to…threatening to murder Democrats.

Think they’re not planning to do that again?"
