Is Democracy Being challenged?

8.7.2025

While standing on the “9.11” rubble (in 2001),
the president wore fireman hat #164
(could it mean “for 160?”).
A year ago in Butler, the shooter was 164 yards away.
Zapruder filmed the JFK Hit with a 414PD (P16 D=4).

Titanic lasted 160 minutes, before sinking,

and on the 160th year after the Civil War,
America has suddenly undergone dramatic changes,
akin to an upheaval (maybe even a Coup).

We suddenly have
a tremendously weakened Bureaucracy,

we’re recovering
from the worst disaster in LA history,
terror and fear
grips the streets of LA (from ICE raids).
The economy has been rocked by Tariffs,
a dwindling labor pool,
a drop in tourism.

Instead of fixing a broken immigration system,
more detention centers are in the works.
The ICE budget has jumped
from 3 billion to 75 billion
(to enforce flawed immigration laws)

(not to welcome immigrants, but to keep them out).

Is this America?
(“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses”).

--------------------

Congress recently gave the president
a free pass to wage war.
Last October, the Supreme Court
gave the president immunity from wrongdoing
while in office.

So the president, hit the ground running,

usurping authority from Congress
with illegal executive orders,
violating the War Powers ACT,

extorting subservience
from major universities and law firms

(Abuse of Power left and Right),

with an agenda apparently preconceived
(Project 2025),
at least 14 months before the RNC (7.15.2024),
as if expecting Trump to win the election.

So 160 years after the Civil War,
dramatic changes occur,

not thru legislative sessions,
but by the demands of one individual

(who quickly weakened the power of the Bureaucracy).

The new leader appears awash in Tyrannical aspirations,
taunting other nations with imperialism,
flaunting America’s military mite,
invading another nation on his own,
without the consent of Congress,

extorting subservience
from prominent universities, major law firms,
exuding a sense of preeminence
and an ominous threat of retaliation and vengeance
to those who stand in his way.

These are all characteristics of a tyrant (in its infancy).

The flame of Tyranny was extinguished 250 years ago,
by a bloody revolution,
yet once again
Tyranny seems to be raising its ugly head.
