    Time Event

    Muskrat not cutting government spending to his own company

    The muskrat is determined to cut government spending, except when it is buying from his own company.

    Federal workers being thrown to the dogs

    Hundreds of thousands of Federal workers are being thrown to the dog…s. *Some were reportedly given only 30 minutes to pack their belongings and vacate federal offices.*

    The muskrat us treating them with special vindictiveness, not for anything that they did, but because he can (due to a gap in civil service protection).

    Why would he do this? It could be that he simply revels in the chance to be cruel to someone, anyone. But I don't think he has let his emotions run away with them completely. I think this is a calculated maneuver meant to make other federal employees scared and weak.

    Federal employees, at any moment you may be told you can't see that office ever again, so be ready for it — remove immediately from your offices everything you would be sad to lose. And remain ostentatiously ready for that, for as long as the haters remain in power.

    It will be a way of saying, "Yes, I know you could fire me in a vindictive way, but I'm prepared for that and you don't scare me!"

    Defying court orders to restart government agencies

    The duumvirs are defying some of the court orders that told them to restart some of the government activities and agencies they have shut or wrecked. They are pushing for absolute power.

    They openly say that laws and judges are supposed to serve them, never limit them. This fully justifies the terms "fascist" and "coup".

    The Guantanamo prison was a previous Republican president's excuse for disregarding human rights and the laws that protect some of them, even for people accused of grave crimes. Because it was outside the US, he could argue that it was a zone in which human rights did not apply.

    So it is natural that the persecutor would seek to put those he aims to persecute into Guantanamo prison as another way to evade the rule of law.

    Threats of violence to lawyers of Jimmy Lai

    The British lawyers working in Britain to defend Hong Kong democracy activist Jimmy Lai have been hit by a campaign of threats of violence and cracking attacks on their bank accounts as well as other forms of cracking and physical harassment.

    We have to presume that what the wrecker and the muskrat are aiming to do with the US is something like this.

    Urgent: Block funding for deportation machine

    US citizens: call on Congress to block funding for the wrecker's deportation machine.

    Urgent: No drilling in Arctic National Wildlife Reserve

    US citizens: demand no oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve.

    10:38a
    Urgent: Defeat HR 899

    US citizens: phone your congresscritter and call on per to defeat HR 899, which would abolish the Department of Education. This would be a big blow to the children in non-rich US families. The children of poor people would have even less chance of getting good jobs, and they might have to go without some meals.

    10:38a
    Urgent: Protect the CFPB

    US citizens: phone your congresscritter and say to protect the CFPB so it can continue to protect Americans from gouging by banks and other financial dis-services.

    Here is what the wrecker has been doing to the CFPB.

    The senators in the Senate Banking Committee are well paid by banksters and want to get it out of the way so they can gouge using junk fees.

    Another way US banks gouge the public is by pushing credit card interest rates up to loan shark levels. This happens because the Supreme Court eliminated states' ability to regulate the interest rates they can charge.
