A massive wildfire whipped up by extreme winds has swept through a Los Angeles hillside dotted with celebrity homes - with a state of emergency declared.
The enormous blaze in the Pacific Palisades forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of people, some of whom abandoned their cars and fled on foot to safety with roads blocked.
Firefighters battling the blaze, which is burning through about five football fields a minute, warned they were running out of water and supplies, as evacuation warnings spread to Malibu and Calabasas.

Maj. Jeffrey Prather returns to SGT Report with some troubling intel which according to Prather suggests that an explosive false flag event could occur in Washington DC on Monday, January 6th which is CERTIFICATION day for the 2024 election of Donald J. Trump. We sound the alarm in hopes of disrupting any such plan. Thanks for tuning in.
“Everyday the future looks a little bit darker.” ― Alan Moore, Watchmen
We have become a nation adrift in a sea of government overreach, abuse and corruption.
The following is a sobering account of the challenges we faced in 2024, which were marked by the government’s never-ending power grabs and relentless assaults on our civil liberties.
2024 saw a continued rise in government overreach and abuse of power. The militarization of police forces continued unabated, with local departments increasingly resembling extensions of the military. Schools, meant to be places of learning and growth, became more prison-like with the implementation of “safety” measures that criminalize minor infractions and create an environment of fear. The right to private property was further eroded, with the government increasingly empowered to seize assets under various pretexts. The plight of the homeless worsened, with cities criminalizing homelessness and implementing policies designed to make their lives even more difficult. Military veterans, once hailed as heroes, were increasingly treated with suspicion and subjected to surveillance.
On almost every front this year, the government overreached and abused its powers.
With every new law enacted by federal and state legislatures, every new ruling handed down by government courts, and every new military weapon, invasive tactic and egregious protocol employed by government agents, we were reminded that in the eyes of the government and its corporate accomplices, “we the people” possess no rights except for that which the Deep State grants on an as-needed basis.
Surveillance eroded what little privacy we have left. The Surveillance State grew even more pervasive. Facial recognition technology expanded into new areas of our lives, with vast amounts of our biometric data collected, often without our knowledge or consent, eroding our anonymity and enabling unprecedented tracking of our movements. Data breaches continued to expose the vulnerability of our personal information.
Free speech continued to be under attack. Protest laws, free speech zones, and other restrictions made it more difficult for citizens to exercise their First Amendment rights. Social media companies, often in collusion with the government, engaged in censorship of viewpoints they deemed unacceptable. This online censorship creates an echo chamber and limits the free flow of information.
The influence of the Deep State and the military-industrial complex continued to grow. Endless wars abroad drained the nation’s resources while doing little to make Americans safer. The military-industrial complex’s grip on almost every aspect of American life tightened.
The government failed to protect our lives, liberty and happiness. The predators of the police state wreaked havoc on our freedoms, our communities, and our lives. The government didn’t listen to the citizenry, refused to abide by the Constitution, and treated the citizenry as a source of funding and little else. Police officers shot unarmed citizens and their household pets. Government agents—including local police—were armed to the teeth and encouraged to act like soldiers on a battlefield. Bloated government agencies were allowed to fleece taxpayers. Government technicians spied on our emails and phone calls. And government contractors made a killing by waging endless wars abroad.
The president became more imperial. Although the Constitution invests the President with very specific, limited powers, in recent years, American presidents have claimed the power to completely and almost unilaterally alter the landscape of this country for good or for ill. The powers amassed by each successive president through the negligence of Congress and the courts—powers which add up to a toolbox of terror for an imperial ruler—empower whoever occupies the Oval Office to act as a dictator, above the law and beyond any real accountability. The presidency itself has become an imperial one with permanent powers.
The cost of endless wars drove the nation deeper into debt. Policing the globe and waging endless wars abroad hasn’t made America—or the rest of the world—any safer, but it has made the military industrial complex rich at taxpayer expense.
The courts failed to uphold justice. Time and time again, the Supreme Court failed to right the wrongs being meted out by the American police state. A review of critical court rulings over the past decade or so, including some ominous ones by the U.S. Supreme Court, reveals a startling and steady trend towards pro-police state rulings by an institution concerned more with establishing order and protecting the ruling class and government agents than with upholding the rights enshrined in the Constitution.
Mass shootings claimed more lives. Mass shootings have taken place at churches, in nightclubs, on college campuses, on military bases, in elementary schools, in government offices, and at concerts. In almost every instance, you can connect the dots back to the military-industrial complex, which continues to dominate, dictate and shape almost every aspect of our lives.
The rich got richer, and the poor went to jail. Not content to expand the police state’s power to search, strip, seize, raid, steal from, arrest and jail Americans for any infraction, no matter how insignificant, the courts continued their practice of jailing individuals who are unable to pay the hefty fines imposed by the American police state. These debtors’ prisons play right into the hands of those who make a profit by jailing Americans. This is no longer a government “of the people, by the people, for the people.” It is fast becoming a government “of the rich, by the elite, for the corporations,” and its rise to power is predicated on shackling the American taxpayer to a debtors’ prison guarded by a phalanx of politicians, bureaucrats and militarized police with no hope of parole and no chance for escape.
Police became even more militarized and weaponized. Despite concerns about the government’s steady transformation of local police into a standing military army, local police agencies continued to acquire weaponry, training and equipment suited for the battlefield. There are now reportedly more bureaucratic (non-military) government civilians armed with high-tech, deadly weapons than U.S. Marines.
Schools turned into prisons. So-called school “safety” policies, which run the gamut from zero tolerance policies that punish all infractions harshly to surveillance cameras, metal detectors, random searches, drug-sniffing dogs, school-wide lockdowns, active-shooter drills and militarized police officers, turned schools into prisons and young people into prisoners.
The government waged a renewed war on private property. The battle to protect our private property has become the final constitutional frontier, the last holdout against our freedoms being usurped. We no longer have any real property rights. That house you live in, the car you drive, the small (or not so small) acreage of land that has been passed down through your family or that you scrimped and saved to acquire, whatever money you manage to keep in your bank account after the government and its cronies have taken their first and second and third cut…none of it is safe from the government’s greedy grasp. At no point do you ever have any real ownership in anything other than the clothes on your back. Everything else can be seized by the government under one pretext or another (civil asset forfeiture, unpaid taxes, eminent domain, public interest, etc.).
The plight of the nation’s homeless worsened. In communities across the country, legislators adopted a variety of methods (parking meters, zoning regulations, tickets, and even robots) to discourage the homeless from squatting, loitering and panhandling. One of the most common—and least discussed—practices: homeless relocation programs that bus the homeless outside city limits.
The government waged war on military veterans. The government has done a pitiful job of respecting the freedoms of military veterans and caring for their needs once out of uniform. The plight of veterans today is America’s badge of shame, with large numbers of veterans impoverished, unemployed, traumatized mentally and physically, struggling with depression, suicide, and marital stress, homeless, subjected to sub-par treatment at clinics and hospitals, left to molder while their paperwork piles up within Veterans Administration offices, and increasingly treated like criminals— targeted for surveillance, censorship, threatened with incarceration or involuntary commitment, labeled as extremists and/or mentally ill, and stripped of their Second Amendment rights—for daring to speak out against government misconduct.
In sum, 2024 was a disheartening year for those who cherish freedom.
Yet no matter who sits in the White House, politics won’t fix a system that is broken beyond repair.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, we are at our most vulnerable right now: the gravest threat facing us as a nation in 2025 is not extremism but despotism, exercised by a ruling class whose only allegiance is to power and money.

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: “We have a deep state. The CIA is the main continuation agency of that deep state and it carries a basic foreign policy.
The foreign policy of the United States since 1945 was to destroy the Soviet Union and then, after 1991, to try to do the same with Russia and if not destroy it to fundamentally weaken it.
In the case of the Middle East, there is a list General Wesley Clark provided that Israel, Netanyahu and his U.S. backers set out already in the 1990s.
It said our job is to overthrow all of those governments, and we’ve been at that for more than 20 years… It started with Iraq.
The list named Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Libya, Sudan and Somalia.
Now I want people to understand the United States or its proxies have launched wars in six of those seven countries.
That was a list agreed in 2001 based on a list from 1996 when Netanyahu came into office.
His theory was Israel needs to be able to do what it wants to dominate the Palestinian people.
So we need to overthrow all governments that support the Palestinians, especially that support them in militancy through Hamas or Hezbollah or other units
Rather than negotiating with the Palestinians so that there’s a Palestinian state, we will overthrow seven countries. Now that’s what has happened.
There’s one left on that list, that’s Iran… It’s six out of seven right now.”
President-Elect Trump has hit the ground running after Tuesday's election, announcing his plans to "Dismantle the Deep State." A LOT of people are saying this is extremely dangerous for Trump; that the Deep State may try to kill him over it.
Here are the Details announced by Trump:
1. Restoring Presidential Authority
Trump intends to reissue an executive order from 2020 which would restore the president's authority to remove federal employees, thereby allowing for the aggressive management or dismissal of federal workers.
2. Overhauling National Security and Intelligence
Trump's plan includes removing individuals from national security and intelligence agencies who have engaged in corrupt practices or have used these agencies against political adversaries.
Blogger's note: No where do I see anything about securing the border or about deporting the invaders. Okay so this is not about them as it is only about dismantling the Deep State.

EBS, FEMA, Walmart, Underground Tunnels, Deep State, Martial Law, Concentration Camps: Complete List of 1000 FEMA Concentration Camps | The Road To Hell: Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide
As liberty shrinks and surveillance expands, there lies a hidden agency, veiled under the pretext of emergency management, poised to head the operations of a looming police state: FEMA.
The Executive Hand Behind the Curtains
For years, people believed that FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) was a benign agency tasked with aiding citizens during natural disasters. But behind its seemingly harmless facade, it is gearing up to become the executive arm of a new police state. The very fabric of America’s constitution is at risk.
Many may not be aware of the Presidential Executive Orders, a public document listed on the Federal Register. These orders, subtly drafted and signed, form the legal framework for what might be a massive operation involving FEMA.
