🇺🇸WHY TRUMP’S VERDICT IS A BAD OMEN FOR AMERICA

In corrupt countries, it is a common practice for politicians in power to lock up, or even kill, their opponents.

Russia notoriously is known for their brutal use of the legal system to squash any dissent. Many opposition members have lost their lives behind bars, including most recently Alexei Navalny.

In countries like Brazil, Bolsonaro is still fighting for his freedoms and right to run for president again. Lula, the current president, has gone after him and all his supporters wielding the power of their corrupt legal system to squash any uprising.

China is another example where the legal system is weaponized to silence dissent. The Chinese government has a history of imprisoning political dissidents, with prominent figures like Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo, who died in custody, symbolizing the regime's ruthless approach.

Turkey, under President Erdoğan, has seen a dramatic increase in the use of the judiciary to crack down on political opponents and journalists. The aftermath of the failed 2016 coup attempt led to mass arrests and purges, highlighting the regime's grip on power through legal intimidation.

Venezuela's government, under Nicolás Maduro, frequently uses the courts to imprison opposition leaders, further destabilizing the country.

The term “Banana republic,” usually reserved for corrupt and unstable countries, has been bantered around recently to describe how far the mighty US has fallen. Examples include Guatemala and Honduras, where political figures use their power to imprison rivals and suppress dissent.

Now, it seems the US is joining the ranks. The Democrats have gone after Trump, leading to a guilty verdict on 34 counts.

But this isn't for war crimes, spying on Americans, embezzlement, or murder.

No, Billionaire Trump got convicted for misclassifying a $130,000 payment to a porn star for signing an NDA.

This kind of petty political maneuvering is what you'd expect from a Russia, not the world's leading democracy.

Elon:
“Indeed, great damage was done today to the public’s faith in the American legal system. If a former President can be criminally convicted over such a trivial matter – motivated by politics, rather than justice – then anyone is at risk of a similar fate.”

Elon is right. The verdict against Trump is more than just a blow to one man; it’s a dangerous precedent that could undermine the very foundations of American democracy.

The American legal system should be a pillar of impartiality and fairness, not a tool for political retribution.

It’s time to wake up and ensure that justice remains blind, not politically motivated, before it is too late.

How do you incubate a mind virus? How do you cause a culture to self-destruct? In 1984, this KGB defector exposed the 4-stages identified by Soviet intelligence as the necessary steps to cause the psychological implosion of American society.

Stage 1: Demoralization (15–20 yrs)

@janinereturns @BecketAdams Authenticity matters. Not perfect is perfect in a world that has become fake is nice to hear. We are all after all - human. Thanks for not lip syncing @aliciakeys - we appreciate your talent and the unpredictability that make you, you!!! ❤️

@Lowkey0nline @CommunityNotes - please share entire video where group of kids went to ignite an explosive device and were shot. This video is cut short to incite anger for randomly shooting kids.

My group? Who is my “group” exactly? What makes you think I”m Jewish - and if I were, does it matter? CRT and reverse discrimination is disgusting as well. Universities should be defunded for any act of discrimination against anybody for their race or religion. Fair housing does better, our kids deserve better.

[Edan Gelt @_edan_gelt]

I don’t think congress was removing funding from colleges that protested a war – I believe they are removing funding for colleges that promote the death of a certain race (Jews are a race, not only a religion), specifically antisemitism. Protecting Jewish kids from having to hide in a library or being beaten, harassed and threatened with death.

Compare that to the government funding colleges that called for the lynching of non-whites – would you vote to fund them as well? Would you allow burning crosses to be put on the lawn of black fraternities? is that free speech? What if it was for the calling of death to all Christians.

None of it is acceptable, and none of it should be approved and funded by our government.

A call for peace – yes. Speaking one’s mind, yes. A call for the death of a certain people, absolutely should not be funded by Congress.

You should be ashamed that you didn’t vote to protect everyone’s rights. During the pandemic – I thought you were amazing. You’re not on the right side of history this time.

[Edan Gelt @_edan_gelt]

@RepThomasMassie That’s not exactly what you voted against – Congress voted on taking away funding for colleges promoting anti-semitism. For a politician who claims he is always trying to save taxpayer dollars, you would think this would be a cause you’d stand behind.

@DrEliDavid With a meat cleaver? Maybe that’s a new enrollment procedure? 🤔

Interesting time at @X?
@elonmusk issues a statement banning accounts that call for genocide, @jacksonhinkle - the most popular and antisemitic account on X posts he is being demonetized? Does the platform care or is it because @Apple, @IBM, and others pull their ad spends? https://t.co/vwsvSkPE5e

@DumisaniTemsgen This interview from a former KGB agent done in 1984 should explain the idiocy of America’s thinking today. An initiative dating back more than 30 years has finally taken hold. https://t.co/eFz1t614e8

@HenMazzig Here is some insight to what is happening - from the mouth of a former KGB agent in 2018. This is 20 years in the making for Americans to think like total idiots: https://t.co/eFz1t61C3G

[Edan Gelt @_edan_gelt]

@piersmorgan Here is the foundation of why this stupidity has infected America - this interview is with a former KGB and explains the poisonous ideology. 20 years in the making folks! https://t.co/eFz1t61C3G

[Edan Gelt @_edan_gelt]

Mass marketing and a long term plan! If you are trying to understand how America’s ideology has changed so much (where we now live in bizarro land) – read and watch this interview from a former KGB agent from 2018.

“What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.”
