Ritual of a DICTATOR In The Eye of The Storm..Deeply Worrying as TRUMPs Justice Department HALTS New Civil Rights Cases
Stopping Civil Rights Cases Follows Order Putting Staff on FED DEI Programs on LEAVE as a Prelude to Shutting Programs Down and Trumps REVENGE Against Opponents The Department of Justice has ordered its civil rights division to halt new cases, further signalling the new administrations hostility to racial and gender equality since Trumps return to power. The Guardian 24 JAN 2025 ![]() If You are Not Scared About Fascism in the US, You Should Be now The Department of Justice has ordered its civil rights division to halt new cases, further signalling the new administrations hostility to racial and gender equality since Donald Trumps return to power The decision came amid a blur of frenzied activity across a range of sectors that sent out simultaneous signals of incipient purges and Trumps REVENGE against political opponents, along with a determination to act on radical campaign pledges. The call to halt civil rights cases ? set out in an instruction to Kathleen Wolfe, the new acting head of the justice departments civil rights division ? followed an earlier order putting staff on federal diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility programs on immediate leave as a prelude to shutting such programs down. Activists called the move ?unprecedented? and warned that it indicated a government intention to abandon civil rights and protections against discrimination that have been enshrined in legislation since the 1950s and 1960s. This should make Americans both angry and deeply worried, said Damon Hewitt, president and executive director of the Lawyers? Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. This is more than just a changing course of philosophy ? this is exactly what most people feared: a justice department that was created to protect civil rights literally abdicating its duty and responsibility to protect Americans from all forms of discrimination. An executive order issued by Trump on Monday ordered the termination of all discriminatory programs, including illegal DEI and diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) mandates, policies, programs, preferences, and activities in the federal government, under whatever name they appear. Civil rights campaigners say that, in effect, this move cancels a 1965 order issued by Lyndon Johnson to help enforce the historic Civil Rights Act of the previous year and that prohibited government contractors from discriminating in hiring or employment practices on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. The changed approach to civil rights and equality came among a relentless barrage of policy initiatives and mass firings arising from a fusillade of executive orders issued by Trump in his opening days back in the White House that have left Washingtons political establishment in a state of shocked bewilderment. About 160 career staff members in the White Houses national security staff were called to a meeting on Wednesday and ordered to go home. Trump staffers prepared to grill them on their loyalty to the new administration, it was reported. Paving the way for a widespread purge, Trump signed an order called Schedule F that enables the firing of civil servants who have previously had longstanding job protections shielding them from removal by incoming administrations. ![]() We are getting rid of all the cancer, DICTATOR Trump said as he signed the order....Trump once tweeted a quote attributed to Italian Dictator Benito Mussolini |

Ritual of DICTATOR & A MAD Man -Emergency 25% Tariffs: TRUMP Flips After Colombia Turns Away Deportation Flights
Trump Taxes Americans to Retaliate: OUTRAGE as He Makes Americans Pay Even More For Some Essentials Trump Handcuffs FBI -Enforces Hiring Freeze Thatis Creating Alarm as Agency is Already Understaffed & Stretched Thin Fears a Substantial Number of Recent Hires May Be Purged by Whomever is Confirmed as New Director MSNRAW 27 JAN 2025 ![]() BALDING Dangerous OLD MAN Donald Trump said he was imposing emergency tariffs and other measures on Colombia after the country turned away at least two deportation flights. In an angry social media post on Sunday, Trump revealed that the flights were not allowed to land in Colombia. He accused Colombian President President Gustavo Petro of jeopardizing the National Security and Public Safety of the United States. So I have directed my Administration to immediately take the following urgent and decisive retaliatory measures, Trump stated. The measures included emergency 25% tariffs, travel restrictions, and financial sanctions. These measures are just the beginning, Trump insisted. We will not allow the Colombian Government to violate its legal obligations with regard to the acceptance and return of the Criminals they forced into the United States In a post on the X (formerly Twitter) social media platform, Petro said that the flights treated migrants as criminals. Our Adversaries Are NOT Scaling Back: Concerns As Trump Handcuffs FBI -Trumps Spiteful Actions May Impact Their Ability to Protect Nations Security. ![]() A decision by unhinged Trump to enforce a hiring freeze is creating alarm at the FBI that it may impact their ability to protect the nations security. The bureaus human resources division, in an internal memo issued on Friday, detailed the moves it was taking as a result of the order, including supplying the White House with a list of probationary employees, adding; Employees? concerns have only been compounded by the deep suspicion and relentless attacks Trump and his pick to be the agencys director, Kash Patel, have leveled at the bureau over its previous criminal investigations that ensnared Mr. Trump. One request that is particularly alarming is a request for the names of the most recently hired, many of whom are still on probation status. The memo said the bureau had to justify which employees on the list the agency wanted to retain. Firing new agents would be a considerable blow to the F.B.I., which spends tens of thousands of dollars recruiting, hiring and putting them through 20 weeks of extensive training, the Post reported. In a recent interview, outgoing Director Wray warned, Our adversaries are not scaling back their efforts because of the constrained budget environment. In fact, threat actors may try to take advantage of federal budget reductions to conduct nefarious activities. Those blindsided Americans that voted him back must realise their folly. Now ALL Americans are paying a VERY high price
