Dozens of FBI supervisors across the country are receiving letters from current FBI Director Kash Patel informing them that they are being “summarily dismissed” in what is widely seen as an agency-wide purge of agents deemed insufficiently loyal to President Trump.
The purge comes on the heels of a “strategy session” about how to deal with the Epstein fallout that took place at the White House last Thursday with Trump, Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Vice President JD Vance.
“Beginning in 1933, the Nazis took control of and subsequently transformed the police forces of the Weimar Republic into instruments of state repression and, eventually, of genocide. They did so by Nazifying policing. The new government removed anti-Nazi police leaders, reorganized Germany’s police forces, and reoriented police culture towards Nazism.” The Holocaust Encyclopedia.
If only we could return to those thrilling days of Yesteryear when the Lone Ranger rode for justice. The Lone Ranger was guided by a strong moral code of equality, personal responsibility, and the importance of fighting for what is right.
If only we could return to the days of Truth. Or as Dragnet’s Sergeant Friday would say - “Just the facts ma’am.”
If only we could see our courts upholding our constitution. . “Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and that when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress.” Martin Luther King Jr.
If only we could see our FBI working to uphold laws passed by a Congress that was not beholding to a dictator. “Anywhere, anytime ordinary people are given the chance to choose, the choice is the same: freedom, not tyranny; democracy, not dictatorship; the rule of law, not the rule of the secret police.” Tony Blair
Or if we could listen to the introduction to Superman and believe in it again, “"Truth, Justice, and the American Way".
But that simple message is no longer acceptable to the MAGAS – according to the Hill, “It is a sign of how twisted our political culture has become that Fox News pundits were already ranting angrily about the latest Superman even before the movie came out.
“Here’s what apparently set them off: Director James Gunn said in an interview, “Superman is the story of America. An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country. But for me it’s mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.”
Congress was once one of the three pillars of government that would keep everything in balance but not only is the deficit out of balance – they are extending funds to ICE and looking away as FBI and CIA are neutered.
As Dushan Skorich wrote, “What we are witnessing is the FBI morphing into the kind of nightmare national police force that Congress and the public feared the Bureau could turn into when it was first created in 1908, and which every other director made their mission not to let happen. The real question is how, if at all, we will be able to rebuild it again — if we are fortunate to have the chance to do so on the other side of this national nightmare.”
