It Is All About Optics
Clever camera angles and fire
Have you ever dangled a piece of bacon in front of a dog? They will not take their eyes off of it for a second. You can basically get said dog to follow you pretty much anywhere. It will follow you across the street. It will follow you across a highway, county court houses, ICE detention facilities, anywhere.
The human in charge of that bacon is our fat Fuhrer in chief. The dog is the media. Trump throws that bacon anytime he wants to change the narrative.
Just a little example, Trump and Musk were in an all out Twitter War. Musk calling for impeachment and saying the reconciliation bill is an abomination. All eyes were on this moment and Trump as well as his cronies knew this would look bad.
So what does Orange Julius Caesar do? He changes the narrative. He draws the media’s attention away and tries to restore that tough guy stance by beating up on our less privileged communities. He sends in the National Guard. That didn’t seem threatening enough so he also sent the Marines.
Meanwhile there is no word from Musk or reporting about the massive bill that will destroy our economy and many people’s lives as a result.
Everyday there is a new threat or antic from Trump in order to “flood the zone”.
The protests in LA are small in comparison to marches in the past. These marches are not violent in 99.9 percent of these situations. There will always be a few outliers but as a rule nobody was attacking anyone. There was yelling and screaming but nothing more. There is no necessity to bring in the Marine’s, which is highly illegal. There was no true justification for it.
If the Marines were called in every time someone spray painted “FUCK ICE” we would end up with no military left. The president deployed the military against it's own country, a clear violation of Posse Comitatus Act.
The Posse Comitatus Act consists of just one sentence: “Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”
There has been no authorization given by congress to allow this. There was no debate. It was just Pete “Kegs Breath” Hegseth cosplaying as the head of the military.
The only thing that sending federal troops into LA does is intensify the situation. This of course is what Trumpty Dumpty wants because it gives him a pretext to invoke the insurrection act, thereby further consolidating power.
So while the the media behaves like a dog with ADHD, no protests that were completely peaceful got coverage from the mainstream media. D-Day had several hundred protests that were in support of veterans against the government's desire to remove 82,000 jobs.
Unless you read my articles or you stay up to date using other sources of media, besides television, I’ve got money on it very few heard a word about it. People at my day job heard nothing about it.
The only reason they found out was because I mentioned it. After returning from Washington DC, I got questions like, “how was your little protest?” or “how’d it go taking over the government?” of course asked in a sarcastic way.
This is par for the course. I’m not just ragging on the people I work with. This is a major problem. The calous way that people respond to me in every day life really frightens me. They dont realize the seriousness of this moment in our history. They will realize it only when if affects them personally. I really hope this isn’t the case because I don't want anyone to get hurt. It is mostly not their fault.
The mainstream media just doesn’t care to cover these events because they don’t have flash bangs or smoke bombs and guys in military fatigues.
If you’re looking for places to find decent coverage you should go to news sources like Meidas Touch and similar news outlets that are not necessarily on TV. Otherwise you are just going to hear what these millionaires and billionaires want you to see. Meanwhile robbing you blind.
So please, even if you get your local news from television, and not online, be sure to look into what’s happening beyond the headlines. It took me a long time to figure out that these big media sources were being controlled by big money. Hopefully enough people will realize they have been duped for many years. The optics are skewed in favor of what people with the money want.
Hopefully this realization will occur before time runs out.
Love you all,

Thanks Erik. You have voiced my concerns about mainstream media and reporting. I’m an Aussie and our TV media is no better!
The BBC also adopted the apocalyptic narrative that “all of LA is in flames.” The conflict is confined to a few square blocks of a metro area of eleven million people, as my boots-on-the-ground cousin confirmed.
