With Trump's ordering his armed thugs to emulate the Nazi Schutzstaffel, or the Waffen-SS, we might as well call the country the USSA. By Hal M. Brown There could be 10 million cold-hearted people diagnosable as psychopaths in the country to take jobs in Trump's SS.

 There are updates to this on Substack.

I made the SS illustration above by adding a U and an A to an SS. The motto of the SS was telling in the context of today's Trump regime. It was Meine Ehre heißt Treue. This translates to My honor is loyalty. Of course their loyalty was to Adolph Hitler. Certainly not all, but some of Trump’s armed thugs, whether in ICE or other so-federal law enforcement agencies, are loyal not to the Constitution despite taking an oath to uphold it. They are loyal, like the Nazis, to one person. That person is Donald J. Trump.

The Trump SS are not upholding the law unless you consider Trump’s law, “The Law.”

They are not what I’d call real cops who protect, serve, and enforce the law. A real cop may write you a speeding ticket, hopefully making you a safer driver, but they also protect you from real ciminals. They get drunk drivers off the road. They help you if you’re in a traffic accident or if someone breaks into your house. 

If your child is doesn’t come home from school you call your local police. You don’t call ICE unless you think they were arrested in a raid. I wouldn’t be confident that you’d get a reassuring response in the later case.

The people who may or may not be members of violent gangs are being treated like they are bloodthirsty beasts who, were they not chained and bent over, might turn and rip the throats out of their captors. Who wants to treat fellow human beings this way?

Whenever I see pictures, like the one below, of an ICE officer wearing POLICE on their uniform it enrages me because they don’t deserve to be called police.

I take this personally because I have had lots of experience with the police. This is because I was an auxiliary police officer for 20 years in two different cities.

I feel strongly about this because I knew dozens of police officers. In the two departments where I was an auxiliary officer I rode with regular officers countless times. What we did most of the time on late night shifts was look for drunk drivers. In Mason, Michigan our department was honored by Mothers Against Drunk Driving with their Lifesaver Award twice. As a psychotherapist one of my specialities was police stress. I had the number one website about this for years, Police Stressline, and some of my articles were published in police magazines.

Today the ultimate boss of federal law enforcement has broken, bent, or ignored the law. He is their role model. They not only don’t have an incentive to consider that what they are doing defies the Constitution, but that there would be swift retribution if they refused to follow an unconstitutional or illegal order. As for them being a decent person who feels empathy for everyone except the most brutal criminals? Fuhgeddaboudit.

Trump has a group of people roaming the country with guns many of whom have charateristics which would fit the textbook defintion of being psychopaths. So do their bosses.

Studies show that 1-3% of the US population (3% of men) are psychopaths. While this may seem like a small number, if we say the total population is around 350 million this adds up to over 10 million people. There are certainly enough of them to take jobs in one of Trump’s SS agencies.

Addendum:

This is related to this Substack: Combine DOGE and ICE and we could have an American Gestapo armed with both guns and computers. Trump could be Hitler with a giant mainframe database of undesirables who are poisoning the blood of America.

.Combine DOGE and ICE and we could have an American Gestapo armed with both guns and computers. By Hal M. Brown - Trump could be Hitler with a giant mainframe database of undesirables who are poisoning the blood of America.

 

American ICE agents don’t look like they are members of the Nazi Gestapo. They wore plainclothes. Even so, whether in their black body armor uniforms carrying assault rifles and enough bullets to take on a drug cartel’s lair, or wearing ski maks and in plainclothes, they instill terror in people.

The photo above is from an article about the Gestapo in The History Place.

This is an excerpt from the RawStory article “DOGE could be headed for a 'a new, more dangerous phase' as Musk steps away”

A decision by billionaire Elon Musk to restrict his involvement in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) that he created so that he can tend to his ailing Tesla automobile company does not mean that the damage being done by the DOGE staffers will be coming to an end.

According to Guardian journalist David Smith, their work is not done and, with Musk out of the picture as the face of DOGE, things could get a lot worse.

Conceding there is a feeling among some that the "lull" that will follow Musk's department is reason for relief, Smith wrote instead it "presages a new, more dangerous phase."

The following is from Chaos unleashed by Musk’s Doge is starting to wane – what does that mean? in The Guardian:

Last week Musk announced that he is hanging up his chainsaw and stepping back from his role overseeing the unofficial “department of government efficiency”, or Doge, to focus on Tesla, his beleaguered electric vehicle company. The news led some to hope the chaos unleashed by Doge is finally waning.

But it is just as possible that the relative lull presages a new, more dangerous phase. While Musk intends to reduce his schedule, he also said he would continue to work for Donald Trump for “the remainder of the president’s term”. On Friday CNN reported that Doge is building a master database to accelerate deportations of undocumented immigrants by combining sensitive data from across the federal government.

“It’s well established that they’re using the data not just to cut spending but to advance policy goals,” said Judd Legum, the author of Popular Information, an independent newsletter that maintains a Doge tracker. “As they realise there’s nothing left to cut that they want to cut or can cut, they’ll probably turn to more of those more policy-oriented initiatives.”

The actual Gestapo didn’t have the luxury of large mainframe computers and databases to track down their victims. At present the campaign to “purify” America depends on a variety of mechanisms to identify those it wants to get rid of. Some of them are hit and miss. They deport innocent people and even children who are citizens and this is bad PR. Damnit, they are inefficient!

DOGE stands for Department of Government Efficiency. The original idea was to save money and eliminate waste and fraud. 

Wiki defines efficiency as “the often measurable ability to avoid making mistakes or wasting materials, energy, efforts, money, and time while performing a task. In a more general sense, it is the ability to do things well, successfully, and without waste.”

Trump has been upset, to put it mildly, that ICE hasn’t been as ruthlessly efficient as he promised it would be in his immigrant purge. DOGE created the fear and chaos he relishes at goverment agencies, but I doubt this has been enough for Trump.

Now it makes perfect sense for him to claim DOGE was a huge success in its original mission and to repurpose it to be the brains behind ICE. Of course, he’d never admit Tom Homan lacked the brainpower to do the job as Trump promised it would be done. After all, Trump never claimed Homan was an Einstein.

He just needed an assist from the INCEL DODE computer boys.

Consider what Hitler, and Heinrich Müller (shown below), who is not nearly was well known as Göring and Himmler, ran the Gestapo for most of the war, could have done with even the 1960’s computer below. Trump could be Hitler with a giant mainframe database of undesirables who are poisoning the blood of America.
