11. This is what I have been fearing and warning

about. It fits perfectly with the video showing a white cop breaking windows in Minneapolis.

This is not new stuff, folks. I am not prescient in warning about it. I am just old enough to remember COINTELPRO from the 60s. Former Secretsry of State, Madeline Albright, wrote a book titled Fascism, A Warning, on how democracies fall to dictators.

Nixon was held in check by the system. Trump is destroying the system. It is essential that the video of cops escalating the protests in Minneapolis reach mainstream media for airing. The tactics and goals of Trump and Trumpists need to be exposed.
