The Slow Slide To Authoritarian Rule

 

DoJ fires several officials who worked on Trump election interference cases

The justice department has terminated officials who worked with special counsel Jack Smith on the 2020 election interference cases against Trump, several publications are reporting.

In a report that was released earlier this month, Smith concluded Trump engaged in “unprecedented criminal effort” to remain in power after losing the 2020 presidential election.

More than a dozen officials were fired after acting attorney general James McHenry said he did “not trust these officials to assist in faithfully implementing the president’s agenda”.

One of the recommendations of  Project 2525 was to bring the Department of Justice the judiciary to heel by installing Trump sycophants. Doing so would allow them to have total control over the DOJ and the Courts. 

 

CDC staff told to stop working with WHO immediately

Staff at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have been ordered to immediately stop engaging with the World Health Organization (WHO).

An email sent from the CDC’s deputy director for global health states: “Effective immediately all CDC staff engaging with WHO through technical working groups, coordinating centers, advisory boards, cooperative agreements or other means – in person or virtual – must cease their activity and await further guidance,” according to multiple outlets.

The move affects critical work on influenza surveillance and disease outbreaks across the globe.

In an infamous 2020 video Donald Trump explains that a cruise ship with known cases of coronavirus would be refused entry into the U.S. because it would mean the number of known infections would increase and didn't like that. He also prosed the use of  ivermectin a medicine used to treat horses for as an alternative for treating the coronavirus. That was followed by his suggesting you inject bleach as coronavirus treatment. 

This is retribution against this these two agencies for his poor handling of the pandemic. Like any despot his failures are someone else's fault.
