Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, August 02, 2026

U.S. Senator Gary Peters (D-MI), Ranking Member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, released a new report detailing how the Trump Administration has systematically dismantled key elements of the nation's post-9/11 counterterrorism infrastructure, diverting personnel and resources away from preventing terrorist attacks, and increasingly weaponizing other counterterrorism authorities for political purposes. The report finds that these actions have left the United States less prepared to prevent and respond to terrorism at a time when both domestic and foreign terrorist threats remain elevated.

White supremacists are behind the majority of terrorist attacks in the US. See Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) horror story for more granularity.

The theory I ascribe to has it that Trump weakens US counter-terrorism so that an attack against us is invited by an enemy.

So that the man can declare martial law, or something like.

You are not wrong. Trumpy is just itching to declare a national emergency and impose martial law.

On blue states.

If martial law is imposed on the Blue States, and People of Color have been fired wholesale from the USG, the Confederate States of Amerikkka appears to have won the US Civil War.

US imperial actions against Venezuela, Cuba, and covert ops in Mexico and Ecuador, are throwbacks to the 19th-century white supremacist Knights of the Golden Circle (KGC) who aspired to extend slavery in the New World, with the KGC as the overlords.

Today, the KGC are oligarchs and the DOD provides their manpower.

The KGC did not have designs on non-agricultural Greenland in the 19th-century, but the oligarchs today want the mineral riches under their melting tundra.

And note that after recent elections, Colombia now joins Argentina in the far right.
