By Matt Underwood Air Marshals moved to Deportation Duty, that’s the new reality we’re facing, apparently. The whole thing just feels… off, doesn’t it? Like a bad remix of a familiar song, where the rhythm is just a bit… wrong. The news is filled with these stories, and you start to wonder what’s really happening and why.
It seems that the Air Marshal National Council, the group representing the rank-and-file marshals, has already sent a cease-and-desist letter to both the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Their argument is that these new assignments could potentially be contract fraud, while also placing personnel in unsafe or even inappropriate working conditions. One has to wonder how they ever agreed to the reassignment. Maybe the money was good? The promise of a better life.
Now, I’m not saying everything is lost, but it really is worth remembering that the current administration doesn’t always have your best interests at heart. Sometimes, things seem like a clear win for them. But in reality, the win is very rarely as clear-cut as it seems. This whole situation just underlines a bigger issue.
The question that keeps popping up is: how on earth did Stephen Miller gain so much power? It’s a thought that lingers at the back of my mind. It’s like we’ve wandered into some kind of a twisted reality. I mean, think about it: the guys who were supposed to be preventing terrorist attacks in the sky are now tasked with deporting people? It feels like a bad joke, honestly.
The potential implications are serious, too. It would be funny, if it wasn’t so scary. I mean, is this actually going to make anyone safer? Or is it just going to create a whole new set of problems? The thing that really gets me is the impact this shift has on the real threats.
This is where you get to wondering what has actually happened to the role of Air Marshals. Historically, their job has been to safeguard flights, ensuring they’re safe from any kind of attack. But now, they’re shifting into immigration enforcement? It just seems backwards. And the question becomes: is anyone actually thinking about the big picture here?
Another concern is the morale of the air marshals themselves. Imagine being reassigned from something you trained for, something that seemed important, to this. I have to say, I feel bad for the military/law enforcement folks. The wide majority of them just want to serve their country/communities. They want to provide for their families and find financial stability, especially in a job market that’s been steadily worsening over the last decade. This administration comes along and just throws them into the middle of a political firestorm. It’s a situation that really feels like a lose-lose for the marshals themselves.
There’s this whole conversation about how the administration is taking on, or trying to take on, any and all opposition and making it into a giant, sweeping narrative. The administration has to be stopped. The evangelical agenda seems to be creating as much chaos as possible. If they are successful in that, it will hasten the return of Jesus. They’re just limited by how far they can push things. But so far, Trump hasn’t launched any warheads, which suggests there are some boundaries.
Then, we see the bigger picture here. ICE is now focused on “not American, Americans,” the homeless, and the mentally disabled. FEMA, which was supposed to be disaster relief, is now building concentration camps. And, now, Air Marshals, whose purpose was to prevent mid-air hijackings, are now targeting “unfriendly foreigners and not American enough Americans.” It really makes you wonder what the constitution actually allows the executive branch to do, because all of this just doesn’t seem right.
The question is what happens next. It’s hard to imagine the next 9/11 when the men and women that are supposed to protect our skies are reallocated to assist with immigration enforcement. Are we even thinking about what’s going on with all this reallocation? This is when you start to imagine the possibilities of a false flag air highjack.
