The commander of the arm of the U.S. military responsible for Donald Trump’s illegal military occupations of American cities said he is willing to conduct attacks on so-called designated terrorist organizations within the U.S.

This startling admission comes after months of extrajudicial killings of alleged members or affiliates of DTOs in the waters near Venezuela, which experts and lawmakers say are outright murders.

Gen. Gregory Guillot’s sopenness about the potential for unprecedented military action within U.S. borders comes as the White House, Pentagon, and Justice Department continue to refuse to rule out summary executions of Americans on Trump’s secret enemies list, after weeks of requests for clarifications from The Intercept.

    Is this a declaration of civil war? We all know their use of the term “terrorist organizations” is bullshit, so they are really just saying that they are going to start killing US citizens without due process on American soil. This general needs to be court martialed. He is not upholding his oath to the constitution.

      Yeah, I’m not sure I’d trust your institutions to function at this point.

      My thoughts exactly. He has just threatened civil war. They can dress it up anyway they want but the US military attacking US citizens on US soil is an act of civil war.

      I think it is more a declaration of a willingness in the US military to engage in extrajudicial killings of Americans whenever Trump is ready to give the order. He is probably referring more to death squad type operations rather than full on military engagement.

      Civil war happens when the other side fights back. This is a declaration of a culling.
