Funny how this piece keeps getting taken down.
Is there anything people outside can do to help?
I am not a government employee (or a lawyer), but I would say contact your representatives immediately. Both phone calls and letters, and doubly so if your representatives are Republican. The more they get, the higher the chance of them having to do something, and getting Republicans to oppose the coup in any way will weaken the effects.
Also, make as many people aware of the situation as you can because this is largely going unnoticed by the general public, it seems.
We're gonna see these names and addresses leaked to J6-affiliated groups, and they're gonna offer up some purges of their own of the people who don't quit. Trump will immediately pardon them. Republicans will cheer them all on, because apparently that's what Jesus wanted all along. Who knew?
Why stop at those who won't quit? They are requesting to know who worked on j6 cases, even if they no longer are in the FBI
This really reads as preliminary to a Night of the Long Knives.
It's even closer than that. Check out the other post I made about him taking over the General Services Administration as well.
I found out about both from BlueSky, where people were reporting that multiple other government agencies were reporting similar things - all the way to the financial wing responsible for 6 trillion dollars annually had been fighting against Musk's attempts to gain control of the office.
Ok, I mistook all of these for just one. So, a self-coup? Getting hold of all the important bits of government so no-one can ever take them back?
Taking over all agencies of the government to fill them with sycophants and loyalists. Somewhere between Russia and 1930s Germany imo.
There's a major bit from the other article where they talk about leaked documents about turning the structure of the GSA into the same as X (Twitter).
The OPM gives them the personal information of every government employee in the country. It's a purge at all levels of the government.
