The End of the USA

[Huntn]

This is a conundrum. I really would like to add my voice to the protesters, but once I do, the administration will have a bead on me, for the disappearing. Admittedly, I personally am small potatoes, but it seems unlikely that that would be a hindrance to them. They will go after the biggest noisemakers and work their way down. The time will come when we have to paint that target on our shirts, but not quite yet.

Yep the most obvious threats at the beginning, and once those are tidied up, everyone else including forums like this one. I’d hold up V for Vendetta as an example.

EWWW! Lara Trump Thinks Americans Should Be 'Kissing The Feet' Of Trump And Musk​

“They’re attacking his character, they’ve called him a Nazi, they’re going after his businesses, they’re vandalizing property,” she said. “They’re doing any and everything they can to this man.”
She said the United States “cannot survive as a country” with its current levels of spending and suggested a different way for Americans to show their appreciation to Musk and Trump for the cuts they are making.

“People ought to be kissing the feet of Elon Musk and Donald Trump for being the two people to actually do this,” she said.

This is a terrifying scenario, read what Russia did to Ukraine.
Trump = Traitorous Madness

“It was an explicit act of war, a punishment a year after voters in that country had expelled a Russian-friendly oligarch, Viktor Yanukovych, and replaced him with a Western-friendly president.
And by “take down,” I mean it literally. Kim Zetter told the story of a supervisor at one of Ukraine’s main power substations in Wired:”

“All he could do was stare helplessly at his screen while the ghosts in the machine clicked open one breaker after another, eventually taking about 30 substations offline.
“The attackers didn’t stop there, however. They also struck two other power distribution centers at the same time, nearly doubling the number of substations taken offline and leaving more than 230,000 residents in the dark.
“And as if that weren’t enough, they also disabled backup power supplies to two of the three distribution centers, leaving operators themselves stumbling in the dark.”

Could Russia Win a War Against America Without Ever Firing a Shot?

Russia’s cyber attack on Ukraine and subsequent invasion, it turns out, may just have been dress rehearsal…

“Defense Secretary Hegseth ordered our federal operations to detect and stop Vladimir Putin‘s infiltration of American cyber security — from our nuclear facilities and dams to our news and social media spaces — to cease. As Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer noted yesterday afternoon:”

“Donald Trump is so desperate to earn the affection of a thug like Vladimir Putin he appears to be giving him a free pass as Russia continues to launch cyber operations and ransomware attacks against critical American infrastructure, threatening our economic and national security. It is a critical strategic mistake for Donald Trump to unilaterally disarm against Putin.“

“While a handful of nations with nuclear weapons have spent much of the past 70 years both preparing for and trying to avoid a nuclear war, cyberwar has emerged as a far more likely way the next major international conflict will go down.

And Trump just forced America to abandon that battlefield.”

“Rather than the next war starting with a flash from a nuclear explosion over New York or Moscow or Beijing, it’s more likely that today the first step would be multiple major cities browning out as the electrical grid is fried the way the United States and Israel took out Iran’s centrifuges a decade ago with the Stuxnet worm.

Electronically force open a few big dams to kill millions with flooding, melt down a dozen nuclear reactors creating mass panic and death, and shut down communications systems for first responders: The country would be thrown into a chaos not unlike the firebombing of Dresden or Tokyo in 1944, but without the expense, hassle, or waste of building, fueling, and flying bombers or missiles.

With no power, no telecommunications, and no water, American cities would descend into chaos in days and become unlivable hellscapes within a week; drain the big banks and vanish their depositors’ records, and Putin has hit our nation at all levels from the top government/corporate to infrastructure to the individual and personal.”
