'Call it the Surge': Trump vows tougher militarized police; nationwide crackdown
Shades of Richard Nixon! The "Silent Majority" 'told him' to do it. In this case the little hitler in Trump's head told him to. Maybe Trump doesn't remember how many cops got hurt and killed from the late 60s until the Vietnam War ended when Nixon tried it. After all he'd never heard of 'homelessness' until a few months ago. I'm SURE he never heard the chant: "We're bringing the war back home" used by armed protesters either... Tis a shame.
"President Donald Trump on Monday said the Justice Department is preparing to launch a sweeping crackdown on crime that he named "the surge," a term commonly associated with the George W. Bush administration's decision to send tens of thousands of additional troops into Iraq in 2007.
"In coming weeks, Attorney General Barr will announce a new crackdown on violent crime—which I think is so important—targeting gangs and drug traffickers in high crime cities and dangerous rural areas," Trump said during the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference in Chicago. "Let's call it the surge." The president did not provide any details on the plan but said it is going to be "very dramatic." "And you're going to see tremendous results very quickly," Trump added. As if to emphasize his view of America's cities as war zones, Trump went on to tout his administration's success in putting military equipment into the hands of U.S. police officers and claimed "Afghanistan is a safe place" compared to Chicago. "To help keep you safe, I've made $600 million-worth of surplus military equipment available to local law enforcement," Trump told the audience of police chiefs. "If you remember, the previous administration didn't want to do that... They didn't want to make you look so tough. They didn't want to make you look like you're a threat." Watch Trump's remarks: [video] Trump's visit to Chicago, the first of his presidency, was met with massive protests led by Indivisible Chicago and other progressive advocacy groups. Striking Chicago public school teachers also cleared their Monday afternoon schedule to take part in demonstrations against the president. "We have heard that President Donald Trump might be in town," leaders of the Chicago Teachers Union wrote in an email to members late Sunday. "If any members were inclined to show up outside his fundraiser in red, that would qualify as productive, in our view.” Thousands of protesters gathered and marched outside the Trump International Hotel and Tower in downtown Chicago, where the president attended a big-money campaign fundraiser after the law enforcement conference: [Tweetshots] "We're angry," Marj Halperin of Indivisible Chicago told The Guardian. "He is taking pleasure in the misery of our city. He doesn't know us. He's coming to our city to raise money, largely from people who don't live in this city, without ever having addressed, supported, listened to the people who really need help." --30-- https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/10/28/call-it-surge-vowing-nationwide...

Would be easier, cheaper, more freedom and peace to make all drugs legal. Fake problem solved. On macro... The problem isn't Trump or whoever else past or present. The problem will still be there after 2020 "elections". The problem as usual is Government. History shows that something completely different is needed if people want any freedom and peace in their future. Break history and end government forever, now.

That's a solution, if you can inculcate such intention in sufficient numbers of humans. I take a different view on "the problem" here though - the problem is those in power, in particular those who wield the real power - that is the banks - (((investment bankers))) (((international bankers))) etc: 'Member the Fed! When cyclical problems repeat, and the maths at the foundation of such fiat ponzis is quite trivial (compound interest, all new money issuance is only by debt, debt interest is only ever paid off by issuance of new debt), and there are alternative and known mathematical alternatives, can our present (fundamental) problems be anything other than by intention of those who instituted the system we labour under? The "order from chaos" "sieze the day, sieze new reins of power in the midst of a chaotic systemic crash" principle, absolutely relies upon the certainty of systemic instability, as is ensured with the present financial system. Our problems are upon us by the intentions of very few, and by the compromise of the majority of politicians and other "fall puppets" put in place to take the blame when things "go south". There are some questions we are not supposed to ask, and which we are not supposed to discuss - but who does it serve, exactly(!), that we have such "PC" social strictures enforced by the main stream media? And by the way, who owns (and therefore controls) over 94% of all of the USA's "main stream media" corporations? Again, these are questions we are not supposed to ask. We are supposed to ignore the elephant of control and power ruling over us behind the scenes, in the West. This is a ridiculous self censure which appears to not serve us, yet (collectively, in general) most sheeple are so conditioned to the "acceptance" of their peers, and the fear of "ridicule" and ostracization for daring to ask the deeper questions, that the bulk often rather display hysteria, hypocrisy, stupidity, ignorance of facts and all manner of other "mental ills", rather than begin to question everything we think we know, why we know, and whether it's true. Why are we not allowed to have this question? Why is it that a few memes causes apoplexy in the Rayzer's of the world, where they start literally and repeatedly calling for "murder of all proto fascists, on the street, today! we must erase the rise of any new Hitler! Get out your guns, knives, and kill every proto fascist you see" ??? We know this spirit of intention (quite possibly born simply of fear), as displayed here on this cypherpunks list by Rayzer/ Razer (his call to "murder all the proto fascists on the street, as soon as possible, before a new Hitler rises"), is that same spirit which caused the slaying of in the order of 100 million humans in the last century! It should be others reminding us - my tired repetitions undoubtedly are cause for switching off by many after a few years of harping on, but fill in the Marxist "none of these were -true- Communism" blanks: _ol Pot of Cambodia ? Mao Zedung/ Tse Tung of Chin_ ? Joseph Stal_n of the USSR ? Most of us are bloody Politically Correct cowards! "Bloody" is the appropriate word here, because, should the truths and facts which need to be told, the questions asked, continue to be not told and not asked, then the USA, as appears clear today, shall not only descend into "true Communism, THIS time!" but it shall descend by the vehement demand of the younger generations! And when the SHTF, the same old same old killing sprees lying just below the surface of our "sociable humans" veneer, shall once again rise like clockwork, that bloody river of seething anger and revenge taken out on other humans in this journey of Soul, by bullets, by knives, by rape and endless other bare faced "evil" by any other name. This is not directed to the OP, this is directed, necessarily, to us all. We each have our part to play, no matter how small, no matter how simple our truth, those facts which resonate most fundamentally in our own hearts, to speak these to the world, to other humans, that others might find a little sanity in your courage to speak truth, that others might find a little hope that this time, we can speak truth to power, we name those who wield power and exercise control over our nations, systems, people, without compassion and without listening to who we are, what is true for us, and why it matters to us. Who are we to complain if we fail to speak, to speak our own individual, unique yet simple and plain, bloody, truth! "Who am I in relation to what is right, what is wrong, what is good, and what is evil ?" "Am I waiting for someone else to speak the truth ?" "Have I failed to do the most basic review of those who have lived through hell before me and laboured diligently to bring their truth to me, such as Alexander Solzhenitsyn ?" "Why do I continue to expect or hope that others will fix the problems, that others will speak the truth for me, and that I should be able to cower cowardly and do nothing for the freedom as promised by "the Western world" ?" "Which truths must I speak in this world, to find dignity within my own being, to be at peace with myself ?" "If I don't begin today, to figure out ways to speak that which I know to be true, am I contributing to the next 'true Communism this time Marxist utopia" aka hell on Earth ?" This my friends, is an incredible gift, and incredibly on topic, apropos to the ever increasing chaotic dynamics in the Western world today - not only a gift from Solzhenitsyn, but a gift from those who spent so many 100s if not 1000s of hours to translate the full 3 volumes into English: https://archive.org/details/TheGulagArchipelago-Threevolumes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Solzhenitsyn Get to it muffas! At least the first few chapters! And speak, dangit! Every call to suppress discussion, to suppress the asking of certain questions, to suppress our right to figure out which questions even need to be asked, is an evil intention against us. We are in this together - all of us (even Rayzer and the rest of his tribe)! We got work to do if want something other than Hell on Earth to come down our streets, and soon! (Sometimes the most angry among us demonstrate the most courage to speak the unpopular truth in the face of the social mob - you know who you are, and thank you.)
