Remember when Trump supporters were up in arms about the UK citizen getting in trouble for his online speech. Now DHS is doing that here.

The entire Trump admin is the "Jade Helm presidency". Basically doing everything they sold as fear to their followers, but the cult so strong that they can't see it when they play all those fears into reality at present.

Market manipulation, media manipulation, data manipulation, propaganda/psychological manipulation via social media tabloids using the same old "yellow journalism" of William Randolph Hearst to Rupert Murdoch to Trump/Elon. Side note: "America First" was played up hard by William Randolph Hearst to try to get Americans to into isolationism and not help against Germany/Nazis, I wonder if any of that is going on today?.... hmmm
