Thanks Jack. This has been bothering me, as it is the most dangerous of all, and until your post, here, I have read nothing of it.
I quote:
"On February 22, 1933, he, Hermann Goring, opened the door for the SS and SA men to "relieve the regular police" in its fight against the LEFT.
Nazi thugs were delighted.
As auxiliary policemen, they could now settle scores with political enemies without worrying about interference from the police; they had become the police."
"In their reliance on mass arrests beyond the law, Nazi rulers followed other revolutionaries: they wanted to destroy their enemies BEFORE they might strike back. This called for radical action, abandoning legal principles and paperwork.
Years later, SS leader Heinrich Himmler boasted that the Nazis had destroyed the "Jewish-Communist asocial organization" in 1933 by pulling people off the streets "completely illegally."
In fact, most suspects had formally been taken into the euphemistically named protective custody (Schutzhaft), a form of indefinite detention loosely resting on the DECREE OF THE REICH PRESIDENT FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE PEOPLE AND STATE.
This decree, passed by Hitler's cabinet on 2/28/33, in response to the Reichstag Fire, had suspended basic civil liberties.
It became, in the words of the emigre German scientist Ernst Fraenkel, something like the "constitutional charter of the Third Reich", justifying all manner of abuses of power--including the denial of personal freedom without judicial oversight or appeal. True, the use of extralegal detention was not entirely new in modern Germany and the decree borrowed from earlier Weimer emergency legislation. But it went much further: the Nazi practice of lawless detention was unprecedented both in its severity and its scope."
Thank you for posting about this EO as I don't think people realize it as the most dangerous of all.
You're absolutely right...and I’m grateful you brought this historical context forward. That 1933 decree laid the groundwork for tyranny under the false banner of “order.” This Executive Order echoes that same darkness. When legal norms are bypassed in the name of public safety...the public becomes the target. We must sound the alarm. Thank you for seeing it...and standing up. This is our moment...and as twisted as it can sound, at first...I'm damn glad I'm here for it..with you. I choose to believe I was born to be here...now. That belief inspires me...daily.
You’re not alone in that belief! I can’t do much but I read and re-read as my memory needs help with an ability to assess and set shift in order to keep my information cogent.
That’s critical in any assessment. You’re the pro and if all of us can contribute in small ways they add up to help amplify you!
Jack, the templates for calls, letters, emails, signs and anything else (phone numbers and web addresses) are crucial to this movement on this sh#t EXECUTIVE ORDER. If we all call at least 10 Congressmembers, POTUS, and SCOTUS, they get out here Substack and exchange posts and restack 3 days straight, we could raise a lot of awareness. Thank you for leading us! 🇺🇲🗽⚖️💙
You're right, Brenda...and thank you for locking in on the exact pressure points.
Templates, tools, numbers, and direct calls to action are the lifeblood of real movements, not just outrage. I'm working on compiling everything into a rapid-response toolkit we can all deploy fast. Ten calls each? That alone could jam up their lines for days.
Add coordinated Substack restacks, social posts, and exchanges...and now we’ve got momentum. This isn't just about reacting... it's about mobilizing. Grateful to be in this fight with you. Let’s turn this outrage into action!
“But worry? That’s a thief. It hijacks your energy…your clarity…your ability to act. Worry is the emotion of helplessness…and you are not helpless.” Jack Hopkins. 💪🦾
The Christian Nationalists are inflicting a lot of pain as they destroy. Putin and Trump , & The other international dictators, are amassing their army and wealth as they march. Russell Vought, Peter Thiel, JD Vance and Stephen Miller. I wonder which one dictated the Executive Order.
Damn right, Jane...we will not give up. You're seeing this for exactly what it is: a coordinated...calculated assault on democracy...foreign and domestic...spiritual and structural. And yes, someone like Vought or Miller had their fingerprints all over that Executive Order. But you’re also right to reflect back that piece about worry....it drains the will. What we need now is focused fury. We act. We expose. We resist. Together.
That’s the fire we need. Hell yes! This is the energy that flips tables and floods inboxes. Templates are coming. Calls will be made. And they’re damn sure gonna hear from us. Let’s raise hell...with precision. Stay sharp. Stay loud. Let’s roll, Cherae!
I'm glad you're fired up, Brenda! And I'm blessed to have YOU. The collective power of the subscribers of JHN...is staggering. It really is. Trust me when I tell you that I spend time each day thinking about how utterly and completely critical for me to get this right.
Exactly, NK. A 5,000-bed detention center for the homeless should’ve triggered sirens nationwide. This isn’t policy...it’s punishment. And you're right: Executive Orders aren't supposed to sidestep the law...they’re supposed to work within it. This one reeks of authoritarianism. We need to make noise...loud and relentless. We will.
Another possibility if this goes into effect: thugs in gov't who decide they like your house (or car, or oceanfront vacation home) will just have their on-call MD write up a letter saying you can't take care of yourself (this already happens with fraudulent "guardianship" setups - see https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/10/09/how-the-elderly-lose-their-rights). Then they remove you from the property forever and just move in, or sell it. (This is also a good reason to live in a very modest-looking home and not drive fancy cars.)
Yes, Judith...this is the nightmare scenario most people aren't imagining yet. With a system like this in place...it won’t just be the visibly homeless at risk.
All it takes is one government-aligned doctor to say you’re “unfit”...and suddenly your rights...property...and freedom disappear. This already happens through guardianship fraud. Now imagine it scaled and sanctioned. That beautiful place you call home? Gone. Your car? Reassigned. And you? Warehoused. This EO is a gateway to legalized theft...and it’s why we need to kill it now...before it mutates into something even darker.
I'm not trying to scare you. You already know how I feel about worrying. What I am, without question, doing...though...is elevating this to the level of attention it deserves. The level of concern we should all have about this...is deep.
I noticed this coming due a few weeks ago and reported on this. I subscribe to the President's daily newsletter only to be current on the chaos that is brewing. We're seen this already with boots on the ground in California carting away brown people to god knows where! He's pushing this purge by installing a militarized USA. What is equally as scary is the Dems complete silence on this particular EO. !!!Beam me up Scottie!!!!

I like “Focused Fury!” Action. Action. Action. Thank you!
Thanks for leadership, Jack. Looking forward to using these tools to make good trouble!
You, my friend...are welcome. Truly.
I’m so glad you’re here, Jack. Having productive things to do helps, and your guidance helps us make sure we’re hitting the mark.
OH, nononononono!!!!
Hellz, no!
Fuck, no!!!!
Ready for that template. BRING IT!

You sound as ready as I am to get started on this. We are so blessed to have Jack. He keeps the truth out here for us to work with.

Thank you Jack.
Wouldn't you think there would be more reaction to the announcement to BUILD 5000 BED "DETENTION CENTER"?
The homeless are HOME- LESS because there is no place to go. An EO is supposed to be contained WITHIN THE LAW, not ignoring it.🗽🇺🇲🇺🇦

This is all Stephen Miller. And who elected that guy? One might ask their reps about that.
