Revolution Disclosed! The Military Occupation Launched by Trump’s Executive Orders and The Role of the Judge Advocate General: The Legal Backbone of Military Occupation

Disclose: the explosive truth behind Trump’s inauguration—a military occupation that began in 2017 and continues today. Dive deep into the secret power of the Judge Advocate General, military tribunals, and the war for America’s future. The old government is gone—it’s time to wake up!

January 20, 2017, marked not just a transition of power but the beginning of a military occupation. Trump took control of a nation under siege by forces unseen by the average American. This day should have sent shockwaves through the nation but was buried under layers of media manipulation and public ignorance. We are living in a new reality—one too many are blind to, and it’s time to open our eyes to the truth.

Picture this: Trump stands on the Capitol steps, flanked by a Military Intelligence Serviceman and a Judge Advocate General (JAG). This wasn’t a ceremonial show; it was a blatant signal that the military was in control. The Military Intelligence Serviceman represents the shadowy force that pulls the strings, while the JAG stands as the guardian of the new legal order, ready to enforce it with an iron fist.

When Trump declared, “This American carnage stops right here and stops right now,” it was more than rhetoric—it was a direct communication from the Armed Forces, announcing their intent to restore order. The days of political games were over; the military was stepping into the light to bring the nation back from chaos.

The JAG’s presence wasn’t just symbolic; it was a statement of intent. Under Trump, military tribunals would enforce a new order of governance, and those who dared to oppose it would find themselves at the mercy of a system designed to eliminate dissent.

Let’s be clear: the military occupation didn’t start on January 20, 2017; it began months earlier. Trump didn’t just inherit the presidency; he inherited the authority of a War Powers President, operating with the full backing of the military. The country has been under military occupation, while most remain oblivious to the truth.

Under Trump, 11 Emergency Executive Orders (EOs) were enacted, granting extraordinary powers to maintain order in a nation on the brink. The Biden administration, far from reversing these orders, has quietly extended them, ensuring the military’s grip on the nation remains strong.

The current administration is a puppet government, maintaining the illusion of democracy while real power lies with the military. The American people need to wake up; they are living under a military regime. The corporation that once governed this nation has been dissolved, and those who once held power have been brought to justice.

It’s time to stop living in denial. The military is in control, and the sooner Americans accept this, the better equipped they’ll be for the challenges ahead. The media has lied; the government you thought you knew is gone. The future belongs to those willing to see the world as it is, and in this new world, the military reigns supreme. 🤔

just thinking about how Zelenskyy let these two buffoons belittle and insult him on an international stage, while he knew his people were weeks away from blowing up a good portion of russia's fleet of strategic bombers.

not a single word. not a vague hint, nothing to defend his own ego. he just let the demented primate in chief and his minions yell at him, was polite the whole time, and left. while he knew what a devastating attack was coming.

that's what true statesmanship looks like.

I cannot tell you the level of relief I feel that people so clearly see what a fucking children Vance and Trump were in the face of an actual leader like Zelensky. I've got some Trump Truthers in my own family who I will NOT be reaching out to for a read on the situation because, unfortunately, that's how cults work. But what I have seen by and large from all sections of the American people, is defense of Zelensky and embarrassment that he was treated like some impolite child at an adult's dinner party when he's the only one in the room acting properly.

Zelensky is a fucking hero.

The president has claimed that his "wartime" deportations — which he has wrongly and illegally invoked — are not subject to judicial review.

Katniss is like Lucy Gray this, Katniss is like Sejanus that, and yes fine that's all good and true and lovely but Katniss Everdeen is also a direct parallel to Coriolanus Snow and people NEED to start talking about this because it's driving me crazy.

Think about it: they both grew up poor and deeply vulnerable, losing parents at a very young age, with a matriarchal adult (Katniss' mother and Coriolanus' Grandma'am) who fails to provide for them emotionally and physically. They intimately understand the threat of starvation, even developing with stunted growth because of it, and their narrations in the books share a fixation on food. Throughout their childhoods, both experienced constant fear and suffered a fundamental lack of control over their circumstances. Because of this, they're inherently suspicious of the people around them. They resent feeling indebted to others, especially those who have saved their lives. They're motivated almost entirely by family and deeply connected to their communities. Both are used and manipulated by the Capitol, both are forced to perform to survive and despise every inch of it, both are thrown into the Arena and made to kill. Both have a self-sacrificial, genuinely sweet sister figure acting as their conscience. Peeta and Lucy Gray - performers and love interests with a fundamental kindness and sense of hope about them - fulfill markedly similar roles in their narrative. Both contribute to the development of the future Hunger Games, Snow throughout tbosas and Katniss towards the end of Mockingjay.

It's easy to ignore these similarities because, as mirrors of each other, they are exact opposites. Katniss is from District 12, viewed and treated as less than human; Snow is the cream of the Capitol crop, given the privilege of a name with social weight, an ancestral home, and the opportunity of the Academy despite having no more money than a miner from 12. Katniss has no agency over her life, and responds by being kind whenever she's able, while Snow justifies horrendous evils in order to continue his quest for complete control. Katniss does everything she can to protect her family; Snow does everything he can to protect his family's image as an extension of his own ego. Katniss loves her District and connects with its inhabitants on a meaningful level, but Snow is indifferent at best to his peers - the apparent "superior people" - and only engages with his community for personal gain. Katniss emerges from the Arena horrified at herself and the system, but Snow takes his trauma and turns it into an excuse to perpetuate the violence with himself at the top. Katniss cares for Prim until her death and then snaps at the loss of her little sister, while Snow survives on Tigris' blood, sweat, and tears and then torments and abandons her, presumably because she calls him out on his insanity. Snow actively adds to and popularizes the Hunger Games because of his vendetta against the Districts following his childhood wartime trauma - Katniss briefly agrees to a new Hunger Games (which is arguably a facade to trick Coin), but later definitively stops them from happening by killing Coin and choosing a life of peace and privacy. Snow is obsessed with revenge, but Katniss empathizes with the Capitolites and does what she can to keep them from suffering. He exists in a cruel system and selfishly upholds it; she exists in a cruel system and works to dismantle it for the good of her family and community, at great personal cost. And Peeta and Lucy Gray are incredibly similar, but Katniss and Peeta forge a relationship of genuine love and understanding that shines in comparison to Coriolanus' obsessive projection onto Lucy Gray.

So, yeah, Katniss is Lucy Gray haunting Coriolanus. But I bet you anything that eighty-something year old President Snow looks at her, the girl on fire, and thinks that he sees the ghost of his own past: bright and young and brilliant, emerging from a childhood of starvation with a relentless hunger for success, a talented and charming performer helping her win the Games. And that's why he's so afraid of her! Because if he sees himself in her, then he's up against his own cunning, his own talent for manipulation, his own charisma, his own genius. He reads her wrong, obviously, but it means that in his mind he's up against the version of himself that he could have been, with the nightmare army of his childhood at her back and her star-crossed lover at her side, spewing Sejanus' truths in his own voice. This isn't to say that Katniss ever achieved the level of power and agency that Coriolanus did during her time with the rebellion, but it is to say that Snow was taken down by what truly terrified him - his own morality, come to finish the job.

so in an attempt to actually use positive thinking, anytime i fuck up and my brain reacts as if ive cause a minor apocalyptic event, i compare my fuck up to the 4 minute fuck up committed by the crew of the uss william d porter.

and only today, as i was having to explain what happened to my mom when i was explaining the whole comparison thing, did i realise that most people dont know about it and ive decided that needs to change because its objectively hilarious.

...which is a weird thing to say about an event that occured on a warship in 1943, specifically november 14th.

see the uss william d porter was a fletcher-class destroyer but you dont need to know what that means, just that she had guns that went bang bang and that she was escorting another ship, the uss iowa, to cairo.

while they were on their way there, they performed some gun trials like testing the anti-aircraft guns or the torpedos. and while they were running a torpedo drill, the crew of the porter managed to fire a live torpedo straight at the iowa which you know, in terms of a list of things to do while escorting a ship, shooting a torpedo at them is not on that list.

especially if the president of the united states is on board.

yeah so fdr was on board and the gun trials were actually his idea, and part of the trials was that they were conducted under radio silence.

and that means the crew of the porter couldnt just call the iowa to be like "move out the way, we accidentally shot a torpedo at you."

but they did have signal lamps and you know, the signalman on board was trained to signal this exact kind of message.

...and uh never mind, the signalman did manage to successfully tell the iowa that a torpedo was coming toward them but wasnt as successful when it came to the direction the torpedo was coming from.

not all hope is lost though because the signalman could still use the signal lamp to correct his previous mistake and-, never mind, he announced that the porter was reversing, which she wasnt.

yeah so at catastrophic mistake number 3, they broke radio silence to warn the iowa and she managed to turn out of the way just in time which meant no one got hurt. and even though the inquiry into the incident led to chief torpedoman (fantastic job title btw) lawton dawson being sentences to hard labour, fdr intervened and waved away his sentence, saying it was all an accident.

but yeah, so thats my new measure for "how much did i really fuck up?" and when i compared accidentally picking up a pencil case without a tag on it in wilko, turns out it was a very minor fuck-up. yes, the cashier had to ask another worker to grab a duplicate so they could scan the barcode, but i didnt nearly kill the president during wartime via accidental friendly fire

Right-wingers attacked the Trump-appointed justice after she dissented against his use of the Alien Enemies Act — with some even targeting her kids.

Right-wing influencers are turning against U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett after she voted against President Donald Trump’s use of the wartime Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport Venezuelan migrants.

The conservative majority Supreme Court voted 5-4 in favor of the Trump administration on Monday, allowing it to enforce the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members, but limited its authority to allow the accused “reasonable time” to go to court and challenge the case against them.

❌ Trump falsely claimed Zelenskyy's approval is just 4%.

✅ Reality: Ukrainian polls show 57% approval for Zelenskyy – higher than Trump's own 48% rating.

During his Mar-a-Lago press conference, President Trump stated that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's approval rating is just 4%, using this claim to justify his position that Ukraine should hold elections despite martial law.

The facts? Independent polling from the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology shows Zelenskyy's trust rating is actually 57% – more than 10 times higher than Trump claimed.

Even more revealing: Zelenskyy's approval rating currently exceeds Trump's own ratings (46-48% across major US polls).

Trump also suggested Ukrainian elections should proceed during wartime – a position 60% of Ukrainians oppose according to Rating Sociological group's February survey.

The contrast is striking: While Zelenskyy's support has naturally declined from wartime highs of 90%, he maintains majority backing despite three years of full-scale invasion. Meanwhile, Russia keeps pushing the "illegitimate president" narrative to undermine Ukraine's leadership.

Why does this matter? Because disinformation about Ukraine's leadership serves Russia's strategic goals of dividing Western support and creating political instability.

I know this post is long, but it’s important to read to understand what’s going on. A lot of people are asking, “Why is Trump just out golfing while things are falling apart?” It’s simple: the emergency isn’t something he’s reacting to — it’s something he’s building.

Trump recently declared a national economic emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) — granting himself sweeping authority over international trade by labeling foreign economic practices an “unusual and extraordinary threat.”

But here’s the real play: by declaring a national emergency, Trump didn’t just respond to a crisis — he created one. And in doing so, he unlocked access to over 120 statutory powers scattered throughout federal law. Many of these powers have nothing to do with trade — and everything to do with expanding presidential authority inside the U.S.

What This Move Enables: Expanded Domestic Powers

1. Control of Domestic Communications

- 47 U.S.C. §606(c): Allows the president to take control of, shut down, or regulate wire and radio communications — including the internet, social media platforms, broadcast networks, and telecom infrastructure — in the name of national defense. Originally intended for wartime, this Cold War-era law remains on the books.

2. Asset Freezing and Financial Surveillance

- Under IEEPA and related laws, the president can freeze the assets and bank accounts of individuals or organizations accused of aiding foreign threats. These powers are vague and can be stretched to include domestic political groups, journalists, or activists — especially if they’re perceived as having foreign ties or influence.

3. Domestic Military Deployment

- Under the Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C. §§ 251–255), the president can deploy active-duty U.S. military to enforce laws or suppress civil unrest within the country. In certain scenarios, this can be done without state governor consent — especially if the president claims state authorities are failing to uphold federal law.

4. Emergency Detention Powers (Non-Citizens)

- The Alien Enemies Act (50 U.S.C. §21) — a law dating back to 1798 — allows the president to detain or restrict the movement of non-citizens from nations deemed hostile. The criteria for “hostile” can be broad and undefined during a declared emergency.

5. Control of Energy and Transportation

- Under laws like 42 U.S.C. §6272 and others, the president can redirect or restrict domestic fuel production, electricity usage, or energy transportation. Additionally, 49 U.S.C. §40106(b) allows the president to limit, reroute, or suspend civil aviation, giving the executive branch near-total control over U.S. airspace in a crisis.

6. Suspension of Labor Regulations

- During a declared emergency, the president can waive federal labor regulations and override contract protections. This includes removing limits on hours, wages, and workplace safety for federal contractors and any industries deemed vital to national security.

7. National Security Letters & Warrantless Surveillance

- Emergency declarations expand the reach and use of National Security Letters (NSLs) — tools that let federal agencies demand financial, telecom, and internet records without a warrant. These also come with gag orders, preventing the recipient (e.g., Google or a bank) from disclosing that they’re under surveillance.

Why it Matters?

Even when legal domestic powers are limited, a national emergency lets the president:

- Frame the issue as a national security crisis, justifying aggressive action

- Bypass Congress and the courts by acting unilaterally

- Sway public opinion using fear, urgency, and patriotic rhetoric

Bottom Line

IEEPA is focused on foreign threats — but once the emergency is declared, the president taps into a hidden arsenal of domestic control powers. What began as a trade issue could quickly shift into civil liberties restrictions, mass surveillance, or even crackdowns under the legal shield of an “emergency.”

This isn’t just about tariffs. It’s about redefining the boundaries of executive power. Imagine if this economic crisis keeps getting worse — the amount of power he will gain.

Trump’s Greenland Invasion: The War That Could Engulf Europe

What’s at Stake?

It sounds absurd—Donald Trump launching a military invasion to seize Greenland. But given his past interest in purchasing the island and his recent rhetoric about using force to claim what the U.S. “deserves,” it’s a scenario that can’t be dismissed outright. Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, holds immense strategic and economic value. If the U.S. were to invade, it would spark an international crisis, shatter alliances, and push Europe into an unprecedented security nightmare. As Trump himself put it: “The U.S. will take control of Greenland ‘one way or the other’.”

Why This Should Terrify You

An American military assault on Greenland would be nothing short of an act of war against Denmark—an EU and NATO member. This would force Europe and NATO into an impossible position: either defend Denmark and risk open conflict with the U.S. or stand by and watch as a global superpower seizes territory by force, setting a dangerous precedent.

Such an invasion would:

Destabilize the Arctic region, fueling military buildups from Russia and China.

Test NATO’s credibility—if the U.S. attacks an ally, does NATO still function?

Ignite economic chaos as global markets react to war between Western nations.

Drag European nations into an armed conflict they are militarily unprepared for.

Why This Matters to You

If you live in Europe, this scenario isn’t just some distant geopolitical chess game—it’s about your safety, your economy, and your future. A war in the North Atlantic could escalate beyond control, leading to military conscription, economic collapse, and even nuclear threats.

For young people, the consequences would be severe:

The possibility of mandatory military service if Europe is drawn into war.

Economic turmoil, making jobs, education, and stability even harder to secure.

A shift towards authoritarianism as governments seize emergency powers in wartime.

The Bigger Picture

Trump’s hypothetical invasion of Greenland wouldn’t just be about land—it would symbolize the breakdown of international law. If a Western democracy like the U.S. can invade an ally without consequence, what stops Russia from taking the Baltics? What prevents China from seizing Taiwan? This moment would mark the end of the post-WWII global order, ushering in an era where military might trumps diplomacy.

What Can You Do?

Stay Informed – Follow international news and watch for rising tensions.

Pressure Leaders – European governments must take Trump’s threats seriously and prepare diplomatic and military countermeasures.

Support Democratic Alliances – NATO and the EU must be strengthened to deter such reckless aggression.

Vote for Leaders Who Defend Peace – Elections matter. Support politicians committed to diplomacy, not reckless adventurism.

Raise Awareness – Talk about the dangers of authoritarian figures normalizing military aggression.

A war over Greenland may seem like a fantasy—but so did many conflicts before they erupted. When a leader like Trump makes threats, the world must listen. The price of ignoring him could be devastating.

The Dow is on track for its worst April since 1932—the bleakest year of the Great Depression. Nearly a century later, markets are once again facing economic turbulence on a historic scale.

Trump's approval rating drops to 42%, the lowest it's been since he became president, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

A cutting-edge microscope at Harvard Medical School could pave the way for major breakthroughs in cancer detection and aging research—but its progress is now at risk. The scientist who created the software to analyze its images, 30-year-old Russian-born Kseniia Petrova, has been held in immigration detention for two months. Arrested in February at a Boston airport, Petrova is now detained in Louisiana, facing possible deportation to Russia, where she says she fears imprisonment for protesting the war in Ukraine. Her case highlights the tension between immigration policy and the U.S.'s reliance on global scientific talent.

The Department of Homeland Security denied Mahmoud Khalil permission to be present for the birth of his first child, which took place Monday at a hospital in New York. Instead, Khalil had to experience the moment over the phone from Jena, Louisiana—more than 1,000 miles away from his wife, Dr. Noor Abdalla, who delivered their baby boy. The case has sparked criticism over DHS's handling of family and humanitarian considerations.

The White House is considering policies to encourage more Americans to marry and have children, including a potential $5,000 “baby bonus,” according to The New York Times. The proposals align with a broader conservative push to address falling birth rates and promote traditional family values. Other ideas on the table include reserving 30% of Fulbright scholarships for applicants who are married or have children, and funding educational programs that teach women about fertility and ovulation.

A group of Venezuelan migrants facing removal under a broad wartime authority challenged the Trump administration’s deportation process at the Supreme Court, arguing the notices they received don’t meet legal standards. The ACLU, representing the migrants, said the English-only notices—often given less than 24 hours before deportation—violate a recent Supreme Court ruling requiring enough time for individuals to seek habeas review.

The Education Department announced it will start collecting student loan payments from over 5 million borrowers who are in default. This means it will begin taking money from federal wages, Social Security checks, and tax refunds. This move comes as pandemic-era protections for student loan borrowers continue to wind down.

Tensions are rising within the Arizona Democratic Party as the state party chair is at odds with the governor and U.S. senators. In response, officials are considering shifting 2026 campaign funds to local county Democrats.

​The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced substantial tariffs on solar panel imports from four Southeast Asian countries—Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia—following a year-long investigation into alleged trade violations by Chinese-owned manufacturers operating in these nations. The tariffs, which vary by country and company, are as follows:​

Cambodia: Facing the steepest duties, with tariffs reaching up to 3,521%, due to non-cooperation with the investigation.

Vietnam: Companies may face duties up to 395.9%.​

Thailand: Tariffs could be as high as 375.2%.​

Malaysia: Duties are set at 34.4%.​

Senator Adam Schiff is urging the National Archives to investigate the Trump administration's use of Signal and similar messaging apps. He emphasized the need for NARA to reach out to every federal agency involved to make sure all relevant records are preserved. This comes amid growing concerns over transparency and potential violations of federal recordkeeping laws.

Ukraine has much less of a problem with the far right than does Russia, or for that matter than the United States, or pretty much any other European country you care to name. Ukrainians elected a Jewish president by more than 70% of the ballot, without his Jewishness being much of an issue. That would be a challenge elsewhere. The Ukrainian minister of defense is a Crimean Tatar (and a Muslim). The commander in chief of the Ukrainian armed forces was born in Soviet Russia to Russian parents. Ukraine manages a degree of diversity, even in wartime, that reflects its fascinating history, a past that cannot really be described in a text like this, one which has to have to narrow purpose of showing how and why Putin is wrong.
