The Intercept | Trump’s “Anti-Weaponization” Fund Is a Handout to His Hardcore Supporters by Natasha Lennard

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The article reports that President Donald Trump’s Justice Department has created a $1.776 billion “anti‑weaponization” fund—drawn from the Treasury’s Judgment Fund—to disburse payments to Trump loyalists who claim they were targeted by the Biden administration, including many January 6 rioters who have been pardoned. The fund is presented as part of a settlement that ended a pending $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, but critics argue it amounts to unprecedented corruption, effectively a taxpayer‑financed handout that enriches Trump’s inner circle and threatens the rule of law. Lawmakers and civil‑rights attorneys warn the payouts could violate the Fourteenth Amendment and liken the scheme to a theft worse than Watergate, emphasizing that it serves only to placate Trump’s dwindling base rather than benefit the broader American working class.

May 17, 1973 - In Washington, D.C., the Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, headed by Senator Sam Ervin of North Carolina, began televised hearings on the escalating Watergate affair. One week later, Harvard Law Professor Archibald Cox was sworn in as Watergate special prosecutor.

Flashback: On June 17, 1972, five men were arrested for breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C. with the intent to set up wiretaps. One of the suspects, James W. McCord, Jr., was revealed to be the salaried security coordinator for President Richard Nixon's reelection committee.

¿Sabían que el "Efecto Martha Mitchell" es el término utilizado en la psicología para describir el fenómeno donde un profesional de la salud o los medios catalogan de delirante a una persona que en realidad está diciendo la verdad?

Este concepto fue acuñado originalmente en el año 1988 por el psicólogo de la Universidad de Harvard, Brendan Maher, inspirado en las vivencias reales de Martha Beall Mitchell, esposa de John Mitchell, quien fuera Fiscal General durante el mandato del presidente estadounidense Richard Nixon. A inicios de la década de 1970, Martha comenzó a llamar a diversos periodistas para denunciar que altos funcionarios de la Casa Blanca realizaban actividades de espionaje ilegal, adelantando los hechos que posteriormente conformarían el escándalo Watergate. Ante estas revelaciones, el propio aparato de gobierno y su entorno cercano orquestaron una campaña de desprestigio en la prensa, asegurando que sus declaraciones eran producto de un severo cuadro de alcoholismo y desvaríos mentales.

La contención de sus dichos llegó al extremo de mantenerla retenida a la fuerza en una habitación de hotel por parte de agentes de seguridad, quienes le retiraron el teléfono para cortar su comunicación con los medios informativos, inyectándole sedantes bajo el argumento de salvaguardar su salud emocional. El público y las editoriales periodísticas ignoraron sus advertencias durante años, tratándola como un personaje pintoresco y desequilibrado, hasta que las investigaciones judiciales posteriores y las grabaciones secretas de la oficina oval confirmaron la veracidad absoluta de cada una de sus afirmaciones. El caso demostró cómo las estructuras de poder pueden instrumentalizar los diagnósticos psiquiátricos como una herramienta estratégica para anular la credibilidad de un informante legítimo, un patrón de invalidación que quedó registrado en la historia médica bajo el nombre de esta denunciante.

I really don't like John Dean. Dude has remade himself into an "expert" on scandals and corruption as a successful author who MSNBC and CNN love to bring in so he can call whatever is happening "Worse Than Watergate" but like, that doesn't mean he wasn't guilty as fuck in Watergate.

#JEdgarBoozer #Patel... the former Podcaster turned #FBI Director... was quite open about his drinking before #DisasterDon was elected to a second term, and now denies all the reports about his excessive drinking are true.

But an EVEN MORE disturbing report about #MafiaDon's FBI (if that's even possible) is that they have assembled a #PaybackSquad to go after his political enemies. 😒

I keep thinking back to how aghast people were during #Watergate to find out Nixon had an "enemies list".
