Trump's call at Quantico for the armed forces to use American cities [11] as "training grounds [12]" and fight the "enemy within [13]" was quickly followed by militarized ICE raids [23] in Chicago and mobilization [15] of the National Guard. His National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7 [16]), issued four days before the Quantico meeting with Pentagon brass, explicitly identifies "anti-fascism" as a threat that must be targeted with the full power of the state. In Episode 298 [17] of the CounterVortex podcast [18], Bill Weinberg continues to deconstruct the propaganda and examine the apparatus [19] being employed to impose a fascist order in the United States—and explore the prospects for resistance [20], and even non-cooperation [21] within the rank-and-file of the federal forces.
