CHARLIE ANGUS - MESSAGE TO CALIFORNIA - June 8, 2025



Hi. It's Charlie Angus of the Resistance Network in beautiful northern Ontario... But the air is thick today with the smell of smoke of the burning fires in northwestern Ontario... The climate disaster that's unfolding across Western Canada.

Today Prime Minister Mark Carney ordered the military into northwestern Ontario to help with people getting evacuated. I think the last time the Canadian military was put on full alert was actually during the California wildfires, and we set up our Air Force to help provide lift to get support into the people of California.

There's another... uh... um... set of smoke on the horizon today, and that's of course... uh... the burning of American democracy as we see Donald Trump is now threatening to use the military... the Marines... against the American people in California... to punish them for standing up and defend... because they're defending the rule of law.

I urge you to read the book, "War," by Bob Woodward because it really shows that this has been something on Trump's agenda for a long time. In the final days of the last Trump administration, he wanted to use the US military against Black Lives Matter protesters. Fortunately, there were people in the White House who defended the Constitution and the rule of law.

General Mark Millie made sure that American troops were not going to be used against the American people. Millie told Bob Woodward,"No one has ever been as dangerous to the United States as Donald Trump. He is a fascist to the core." And then Millie later said that he was really concerned that Trump was trying to incite violence with his rhetoric.

Uh... Another person who defended the rule of law then was Secretary of Defense Mark Esper. When Trump was asking him if it was possible for them to shoot protesters in the streets, Esper later wrote, "We were on the verge of crossing a red line. We had walked close to these thresholds in the past, but never one this important and never with such rage. What would happen if we were all gone?" And by that he meant what would happen if the White House no longer had people around the president who defended the Constitution. Well, I think we're going to find out with Trump 2.0.

I just want to say to the people of California, it is essential to continue to stand up even despite this... in the face of this intimidation. You are defending the rule of law. You are defending democracy. I know it is very frightening, but the whole free world is watching you right now, and the only thing I can say of comfort is that it's much better and easier to stand up to tyranny when it's being established than once the fascists have full control.

So, right now, California -- the... You are the front line, and we're all there with you.

I'm Charlie Angus of the Resistance.

live in the jurisdictions they are sent to suppress L.A. demonstrators. They all swore an oath to uphold the American .constitution. Those who don’t are liable to be outed re identity, followed home and face demos in their front yards. A hacker group named “Anonymous” can do the job of fingering them.
Go for it, you’ve nothing left to lose now but your freedom.
