The Police State Targets Trump and Trump Americans
Paul Craig Roberts
In the Democrats ongoing efforts to interfere in the upcoming election the Criminals Have Set the FBI after Trump Supporters and the IRS on Trump Donors.
The presstitute Newsweek Magazine reports that
“Exclusive: Donald Trump Followers Targeted by FBI as 2024 Election Nears”
Zero Hedge reports that the IRS has brought five audits against Mike Lindell’s company, MyPillow.

The Newsweek story reads like one handed to presstitute William M. Arkin by the FBI itself. In Newsweek’s opening lines, Arkin sets up Trump Supporters as “domestic terrorists.”
“The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump’s army of MAGA followers.” But not so quietly as to keep it from Newsweek.
Arkin adds: “the vast majority of its current ‘anti-government’ investigations are of Trump supporters, according to classified data obtained by Newsweek.” If you doubt the narrative, you are anti-government. Where is the ACLU and Congress when freedom of speech is being criminalized?
An anonymous FBI official cries on Arkin’s shoulder, explaining that the FBI simply has to prevent domestic terrorism and insurrections by Trump supporters, but by doing so “runs the risk of provoking the very anti-government activists that the terrorism agencies hope to counter.” In other words, the FBI is going to create the threat it warns about.
According to Newsweek, Homeland Security and the FBI are discussing whether to employ against MAGA Republicans “the methods of counterterrorism developed over the past decade in response to Al-Qaeda and other Islamist groups.” In other words, mass roundups, suspension of habeas corpus and due process, execution on suspicion alone. Bush/Cheney/Obama put these unconstitutional rules in place by presidential edicts. They built the foundation for the police state that is springing up around us.
To be sure we get the message that Trump supporters are even a greater threat to Washington than Russia, China, and Iran combined, Arkin quotes the FBI: “”The threat posed by domestic violent extremists is persistent, evolving, and deadly.”
Have you seen this threat? Where is it? What building has the threat blown up? What person has the threat assassinated? What city’s business center has it looted and burnt down? All the domestic violence has been committed by Black Lives Matter and Antifa and the Democrats gave them a pass. Instead of arrests, blue cities awarded the real domestic terrorists millions of dollars for being arrested for violating curfews.
According to Arkin, the FBI now officially recognizes “Trump and his army of supporters” as “a distinct category of domestic violent extremists.” This makes clear why the FBI created the January 6 “Insurrection” hoax and why the presstitutes hyped it to the hilt. Not even Gobbles could have turned a couple hundred unarmed people into an Insurrection, but the US media did. This orchestrated “Insurrection” is the basis for the demonization of Trump and half or more of US voters as “domestic extremists.”
Several years ago when the head of Homeland Security declared the Muslim Threat was over and the department was refocused on domestic terrorists, I predicted that we would come to this. In case there is any remaining doubt, “Another senior intelligence official who requested anonymity told Newsweek, ‘We’ve crossed the Rubicon.’ In emailed responses to questions, he said, ‘Trump’s army constitutes the greatest threat of violence domestically…politically…that’s the reality and the problem set. That’s what the FBI, as a law enforcement agency, has to deal with.'”
Zero Hedge reports that the IRS has banded together with American Express, Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, Slumberland Furniture, Kohl’s, big box stores, shopping networks and channels, state revenue departments, and law suits from the voting machine companies to drive Mike Lindell out of business. This is an operation undertaken to make it completely clear that financial support for Trump means ruin. Mike Lindell and MyPillow are being intentionally destroyed in order to send a message. It seems the IRS is even trying to deprive Lindell of a work force by targeting his employees.
In the US it is now “defamation” to express the opinion that voting machines can be manipulated and hacked. In other words, they don’t want the machines investigated so they prevent you from raising the issue.
This is America today as misgoverned by Democrats, hard left security agencies, and a Woke military establishment. Don’t expect them to allow themselves to be overthrown by an election.
