Ain't that the truth
What a powerful statement, showing the current state of the USA as a true replica of Nazi Germany in the 1930's
But recently...
If you cannot sit through the whole account...
Here is a shorter version
THAT is a weaponized department of justice
That is your president's DOJ
Why aren't you crying about the DOJ now?
Don't make Trump a nail in the coffin of democracy, just stick him in the coffin.
So old school
Strong powerful word from a US Veteran, I can't add anything further.
As Americans, all we have, all we enjoy , all we take for granted, from something as simple as groceries, to something as complex as civil liberties, from the shoes on our feet, access to clean water, our education, our freedom, can be accredited upon two components.
It is the Constitution of the United States that provides us with, what we consider, our basic rights. We can say what we please without fear of incarceration or death. We can peacefully assemble in opposition to our government and not dread violence against us or imprisonment. We are endowed with a free and unrestricted press to provide us with the knowledge of events in our nation. We are free to worship who and how we choose, or not to whatsoever.
We are given our day in court if we are accused of wrongdoing. Our property is free from unwarranted searches or seizure. We are granted counsel if charged with a crime. If convicted, no cruel or unusual punishment can be imposed.
That sacred document was gifted to us by men, with unconscionable foresight, who came centuries before us, yet wished upon us, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They wished for us to live free, and to thrive in a nation built on just that. Freedom
This document, this freedom, the rights and privileges are only made possible if they can be secured. For that security of the Constitution and in turn our rights, we owe to all who served this country.
For it is the men and women in uniform, the veterans and service members who have laid their lives on the line, millions making the ultimate sacrifice, for us to have liberty. They have shed their own blood, endured hellish conditions, abandoned their personal priorities, and fought for us. The trials this nation’s veterans suffered was for those they had never met. Yet every single one of us has them to thank for all we enjoy, every day.
What does it say about us if we fail them. If we ignore the Constitution. If we neglect OUR DUTY as citizens of this nation to stand up against tyranny, to fight back against fascism, if we let what was given to us, without question, in that sacred document, to be nullified and perversed?
Some of us fought for this nation overseas. Some of us must fight for this nation at home as well.
We cannot let that which so much blood was spilled, that which so much thought was given, that which so much was sacrificed for, to simply wither and fade into history.
No!
We must resist. We must fight back. We can’t let our nation down.
For all its faults, we are incredibly fortunate that we live in a land where so many, gave so much, for you and I.
Beautiful
Wow, this so 1933 Germany, America it's now time to fight
"I'm a current employee at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). This is a throwaway account for obvious reasons. I’m posting this because people need to know what’s going on at OPM.
I’ve been an OPM employee for nearly a decade and a Federal Employee for almost 20 years. I’ve never witnessed anything even remotely close to what’s happening right now. In short, there's a hostile takeover of the federal civil service.
Let me say this in no uncertain terms — OPM has been compromised and taken over. The very backbone of American Government, the HR of all HR in the U.S. Government has been taken over by outside politicals. In just five days, they managed to push aside dozens of non-political, career civil servants who were there specifically to prevent the civil service from becoming the President's henchmen.
The current Acting Director, Charles (Chuck) Ezell is a low-level branch chief. He's the friendliest “yes man” you'll ever meet. He never says no. It’s clear they pushed aside all the high-level non political civil servants who refused to do Donald Trump's bidding, until they found Chuck.
Under his name, they’ve sent numerous requests to all the agencies to collect information on gov't employees that they see as a threat to their agenda. Instructions say to send these lists to Amanda Scales. But Amanda is not actually an OPM employee, she works for Elon Musk. She wasn’t even properly cleared by OPM Personnel Security.
Our CIO, Melvin Brown, (also a non political career public servant) was pushed aside just one week into his tenure because he refused to setup email lists to send out direct communications to all career civil servants. Such communications are normally left up to each agency.
Instead, an on-prem (on-site) email server was setup. Someone literally walked into our building and plugged in an email server to our network to make it appear that emails were coming from OPM. It's been the one sending those various “test” message you've all seen. We think they're building a massive email list of all federal employees to generate mass RIF notices down the road.
The non-political civil servants here at OPM are watching helplessly as our government is being systematically dismantled bit by bit. Even the IGs are being fired to prevent them from investigating the numerous whistleblower complaints we've filed.
Please share this and tell the world that OPM is not the bad guy. We're just as helpless to stop this as the rest of our fellow public servants. Hopefully someone out there can help us, but it’s looking pretty grim."
