Presidential Memorandum June 7, 2025 - Peaceful protests are a rebellion

[speak easy]

This memorandum is not about violence. It as about authorising the Regular Armed Forces to supress peaceful protests. The timing is significant.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
THE SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY
SUBJECT: Department of Defense Security for the Protection of Department of Homeland Security Functions

Numerous incidents of violence AND [my emphasis] disorder have recently occurred and threaten to continue in response to the enforcement of Federal law by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other United States Government personnel who are performing Federal functions and supporting the faithful execution of Federal immigration laws. In addition, violent protests threaten the security of and significant damage to Federal immigration detention facilities and other Federal property.

To the extent that protests OR [my emphasis] acts of violence directly inhibit the execution of the laws, they constitute a form of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.

In light of these incidents AND [my emphasis] credible threats of continued violence, by the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard under 10 U.S.C. 12406 to temporarily protect ICE and other United States Government personnel who are performing Federal functions, including the enforcement of Federal law, and to protect Federal property, at locations where protests against these functions are occurring OR [my emphasis] are likely to occur based on current threat assessments AND [my emphasis] planned operations.

Further, I direct and delegate actions as necessary for the Secretary of Defense to coordinate with the Governors of the States and the National Guard Bureau in identifying and ordering into Federal service the appropriate members and units of the National Guard under this authority. The members and units of the National Guard called into Federal service shall be at least 2,000 National Guard personnel and the duration of duty shall be for 60 days or at the discretion of the Secretary of Defense. IN ADDITION [my emphasis] the Secretary of Defense may employ any other members of THE REGULAR ARMED FORCES [my emphasis] as necessary to augment and support the protection of Federal functions and property IN ANY NUMBER [my emphasis] determined appropriate in his discretion.

1. So it begins.....

Take it to the streets, peacefully.

Watch for outside agitators and expose them.
Buy nothing strategies aren't working, work slowdowns won't have any impact unless it happens on a national level.

Bear witness.
Support those who struggle and be vocal.
Cause good trouble.

Be aware, stay safe.

Situational awareness is paramount.

2. The only violence has ben by masked men pretending (?) to be ICE.

3. Here's an idea. All protesters should hold their noses and wear MAGA hats.

If MAGA does it - as witnessed by J6 pardons - it's all good. Plus, it would confuse Kim Jong Don to no end.
