Simultaneous purging of the chief generals of all three branches.
They are ensuring the military has no cohesiveness to stage a future coup against the Executive Branch, and are replacing all control with their own loyalists.

Exactly. In every crisis, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Out of the last several financial crises, who’s come out for the better? All I see is the widening of the gap between rich and poor.
Makes me wonder about the rhetoric against violence and how ‘we need to be above that’. Where has that message come from?
Two places:
1: We are supposed to be nice people. 2: The wealthy are evil, and want people to be too gentle to resist.
The rich amplify the ‘kind’ part of protests (MLK), while trying to stifle the ‘harsh’ (Malcom X, Panthers), to ensure that resistance is toothless. IMO, the answer isn’t to ditch ‘kindness’, but rather to understand protest movements as two pieces that work together…
Hammer, and Anvil. One is a promise of unyielding violence if things don’t change, while the other is a solid foundation that offers an alternative. Protestors shouldn’t seek peace at all costs, that isn’t how an effective negotiation works. Power only respects power.
From the same oligarchs who wants people to remain passive.
Where indeed.
