I agree with him, the National Guard is not protecting a damn thing during these deployments. Under the Posse Comitatus Act, they aren't legally allowed to enforce civil law. We now have DC police guarding the National Guard, which is insane! Zirin also addresses the lies being told by West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey to justify his actions.

I disagree that Trump has had his "Reichstag Fire" moment, because that is coming near the end of his term. I expect one of his radical right-wing militias to carry out a false flag operation of violence and blame antifa for it. Trump is waiting for any excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act, and thankfully we haven't given him any justification. That's why I think he will eventually just fabricate an incident and put us all under martial law.

We have to correct these Big Lies, so here's Dave Zirin's article in The Nation.
