Trump's Military Purge Is All About Consolidating Power and Crushing Dissent

Plus Trump's Deportation Policy Falls Apart while he openly accepts bribes in crypto - it's all in TTT Live Day 106 with Olga Lautman and Zev Shalev

Trump's second term is delivering a masterclass in totalitarian capture.

The intelligence community just confirmed Trump manufactured the Venezuela-gang connection to justify mass deportations. A declassified memo reveals U.S. spy agencies don't believe Venezuela directs the Tren de Aragua gang – completely undermining Trump's rationale for invoking the Alien Enemies Act. This isn't about security; it's about testing the limits of unchecked executive power.

Meanwhile, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's 20% cut of four-star officers continues his methodical purge of military leadership that's specifically targeted women and people of color. The "anti-wokeness" crusade serves as convenient cover for what's actually happening: removing potential resistance to illegal orders like crushing domestic dissent while degrading military readiness.

The most blatant corruption might be Freight Technologies' plan to purchase $20 million in Trump tokens despite being worth only $4.8 million. Their CEO explicitly tied this to influencing U.S.-Mexico trade policy, as Trump promises private dinners to top token holders. Policy is literally for sale.

Trump's direct intervention in the Tina Peters case represents perhaps the most dangerous precedent. By ordering DOJ to intervene for a convicted election-system tamperer while calling her a "political prisoner," he's signaling protection for anyone who helped undermine elections. The message is clear: loyalty to Trump supersedes the rule of law.
