The Devils in Disguise

By Lucius Gantt

Members and supporters of The Gantt Report are well aware of how Black Americans have been treated when kidnapped Africans were forced into slavery.

We were treated like the innocent citizens in Minnesota are being treated right now! Slave traders and slave catchers, assisted by law enforcers, whippings, beatings, castrations, starvings, and hangings were commonplace.

In my mind, beating and killing innocent Americans who should have free speech rights is a devilish practice.

There should be no doubt now about Donald Trump's authoritarian-like instructions for Immigration and Customs (ICE) officials to terrorize unarmed citizens. If ICE officers are criminally charged for violating citizen's rights to protest, I have no doubt they will receive pardons just like the seditionists and insurrectionists were pardoned for beating and causing the deaths of Capitol Police officers.

The President of the United States, a convicted criminal, smiles everyday because his hand picked Supreme Court Justices ruled the President can break any custom, rule or American law he wants to. He can set unlawful tariffs on American allies and trade partners, he can weaponize government agencies to attack and prosecute his political opponents, he can destroy government buildings without Congressional approval, he can use taxpayer dollars to murder fishermen by falsely alleging the fishermen were truly narco-terrorists, he can bomb African nations by falsely suggesting that he is stopping Muslim killings f African Christians, he has fired the government's Inspector Generals who investigate governmental misdeeds, he abolished government agencies to protect citizens from financial criminals, he can order military and CIA operatives to kidnap foreign heads of states, he has changed the historical names of government buildings like the Kennedy Center, to "Trump" buildings, he has supported the demise and removal of programs and government agencies that feed children, fund health care for seniors and veterans, he has suggested that citizens of color be prohibited from using, or even talking about diversity, equity and inclusion, he has been a strong voice against women's rights and rights to determine their own health care choices, he has threatened to colonize, or take over, and run, Venezuela, Panama, and Greenland, he has cuddled with alleged war criminals like Netanyahu and Putin, who he rolled out a red carpet for at an Alaska military airbase, and he has demolished the American concept of "separation of state" and he has threatened Republicans in Congress with primary opposition if any GOP incumbent will dare to stop him or oppose him.

Authoritarians around the world have been grooming Trump and advising Trump to cause the downfall of the United States, to cause the demise and destruction of NATO, and to change America from being the light at the top of the hill to the gutter of world politics.

Nation leaders around the world know that can get anything they want from Trump with false compliments, a big bank and a smile!

So, the wicked murder of a Good, Minnesota mom, and the following coverup attempts, appear to me to be wicked actions. The lady did not try to "run over" an ICE agent. She was trying to leave the scene. She hoped to go home to her children and loved ones.

Minnesota's white residents saw Ice Officers kicking and kneeing, unarmed and innocent protestors who were only using their right to peacefully protest.

Despite what haters suggest, I never directly describe any individual as a "devil", but I will never hesitate to describe, deadly, improper, and illegal uses of force as devilish, wicked and satanic acts!

America, you have seen this movie before. You have seen Adolf Hitler, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Papa Doc and others accused of government wrong doing but you never imagined seeing government misconduct the way you're seeing it now by the Trump administration.

Could Stephan Miller be the real shot-caller in the white House? Trump doesn't even know what groceries are. Remember when he thought Frederick Douglass was still alive?

I tell everyone that will listen, if you live by lying, you will lie as long as you live!

You can't trust a president and his "personal" army running the government like devils in disguise!
