Total Disarray In State Department, Justice Department, And Health And Human Services Department: Undermining National Security, Constitutional Protections, And Public Health!

After nearly a year of the second Trump Presidency, there is total disarray in the State Department, in the Justice Department, and in the Health and Human Services Department.

And that is making a general statement, as ALL government departments and agencies are in “Free Fall”, undermining American national security, the rule of law, and the public health of 340 million Americans.

Many experienced diplomats, attorneys, and medical and health spcialists have been forced out of government service, or have resigned, undermining the protections provided by these talented former government employees.

As a result, our intelligence capability and our alliance with NATO is harmed, and it endangers American foreign relations long term.

As a result, the concept of the rule of law is historically damaged, as the government goes after critics with unsubstantiated charges, and is ignoring true issues involving civil rights advancements since the Great Society of the 1960s.

At the same time, those who have committed criminal acts, as for instance those at the US Capitol Insurrection of January 6, 2021, receive pardons and commutations, and are emboldened to continue their earlier threats to law and order.

And corporations are well aware that they can abuse consumer and environmental regulations, and Presidential pardons for corporate abusers are readily available, as we move back to deregulation. similar to the Gilded Age of the late 19th century.

Additionally, children and adults both are threatened by the attack on vaccines, and the whole nation is endangered by the failure to provide adequate protection from natural disasters, with the cutbacks in the National Weather Service and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

And the attack on science in general is a dire threat, as we are witnessing destruction of research that will have a deleterious effect on America.

The Donald Trump Presidency is causing a long term destructive effect that will undermine the future generations of Americans!

Trump’s War On “Knowledge Workers”: Scientists, Professors, Attorneys, Journalists, Librarians!

Another manifestation of the harm and danger that Donald Trump has brought upon America is his ongoing war on “Knowledge Workers”, the educated and intellectual experts in American society.

This includes such groups as:

Scientists and Medical Professionals
Professors and Teachers in all fields of Knowledge
Attorneys and other Legal Professionals
Journalists in Newspapers, Periodicals and Cable News
Librarians in Public Libraries and School Libraries

In his attack on these professional fields, Trump is undermining scientific and medical expertise, in so doing threatening public health.

Trump is also trying to rewrite the history of the American nation; transforming what people can read and study in the field of literature; and promoting a white Christianity as the only acceptable cultural alternative for the future.

The goal clearly is to control the minds and thoughts of the younger generations for the future, and to promote a narrow minded view of the world.

The resistance against this threat has been heroic, but the long term danger is still a dire threat to American democracy and the rule of law.
