Task Force 51 Occupies Los Angeles... Straight Outta Compton

My riots-in-Los Angeles post ended with the Task Force 51 cliffhanger. TF51 was first described in news reports as the name of the Task Force set up to handle the military/Law Enforcement deployment in Los Angeles at the moment, but guess what, it’s a permanent, military/LE-integrated organization first created to administer the Covid death jab.

US Northern Command sets up task force for Los Angeles mission

h ttps://taskandpurpose.com/news/national-guard-los-angeles-task-force/

U.S. Northern Command stood up a formal task force on Sunday to coordinate the U.S. military’s deployments into Los Angeles County.

The announcement from the command clarifies several details left vague on Saturday when President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced they were sending National Guard troops into Los Angeles.

One such detail being “rules of engagement”. More in a moment.

“As USNORTHCOM’s land component command, U.S. Army North stood up Task Force 51, with a two-star general, as the ground command and control element over the Title 10 forces,” NORTHCOM’s announcement said.

NORTHCOM confirmed that roughly 2,000 California National Guard soldiers were under federal control as part of the task force.

Trump ordered that National Guard members be federalized and sent to Los Angeles to “temporarily protect” Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents as well as other federal personnel ICE and other United States Government personnel who are performing Federal functions, including the enforcement of Federal law, and to protect Federal property, at locations where protests against these functions are occurring or are likely to occur based on current threat assessments and planned operations. Trump gave the order by invoking Title 10 of the U.S. Code on Armed Services, which says that National Guard troops can be federalized “there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority.”

Preemptive military deployments! Have those been authorized by the local governments yet?

In point of fact, Trump is calling the protests a rebellion not an insurrection. In line with the protestors inexplicably carrying Mexican national flags larger than they are.

As of Sunday afternoon local time, 300 members of the California Army National Guard’s 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team were in Los Angeles County. They were deployed to the cities of Compton and Paramount, as well as a federal complex in Downtown Los Angeles. It is unclear when additional National Guard troops will arrive, and what units will be participating in Task Force 51.

Here’s a little local knowledge. Compton was Ground Zero Ghetto back in the day. It was black like Tokyo is Jap! You might still recall cultural artifacts such as the hit song “Straight Outta Compton” that speak to how culturally significant Compton was for da bruthaz.

Then the Mexicans moved in, ethnic-cleansed the neighborhood over several years of open gang warfare, and Compton ain’t black no more. You never heard of it because the journalists refused to cover the conflict. They didn’t know who would win, you see, so they didn’t know which side to champion. Marxists fear ending up on the wrong side of a Narrative! and the safe choice of “hate Whitey” wasn’t available.

That may explain why Trump is executing his Mexican-flag dog whistle in that location. Or, maybe that’s just where the ICE facilities are.

Wikipedia indicates the 79th has 4,400 men, so that explains the speed of call-up. They were all local Guardsmen who got loaded into buses as quick as they arrived for a short trip down the freeway. I should have made allowances for Los Angeles being a very large city. Probably all 4,000 expected Guardsmen will be 79th... Trump has announced 4k Guardsmen will be deployed by now, thus far, and even that wasn’t enough for him:

NORTHCOM also confirmed that roughly 500 Marines from 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, based out of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, California are “in a prepared to deploy status should they be necessary to augment and support” the federal military mission. Hegseth had previously said on Saturday that 500 Marines from Camp Pendleton were on standby.

The protest started on Friday, in response to immigration raids that detained several dozen people in Los Angeles County. Federal agents in tactical gear retreated when faced with protesters in Downtown Los Angeles and local law enforcement engaged with protests outside the Metropolitan Detention Center next to the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building that night. Protests continued on Saturday, June 7, with Trump announcing that he was mobilizing “at least 2,000 National Guard personnel.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has criticized the decision to federalize the California National Guard. On Sunday afternoon he formally requested that the Trump administration rescind its order and return the California National Guard to his control. In his letter he argued that “[t]here is currently no need for the National Guard to be deployed in Los Angeles.”

So, the 79th Infantry BCT was activated without the governor’s approval, and reportedly without even notification. What’s Task Force 51?

Army North's Task Force 51 receives new leadership

h ttps://www.army.mil/article/270833/army_norths_task_force_51_receives_new_leadership

By Spc. Noelani Revina, U.S. Army North, 16 October 2023

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas – Task Force-51 held a change of command ceremony at the Quadrangle on Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, Texas, Sept. 29 as Maj. Gen. William J. Prendergast relinquished command to Maj. Gen. Scott M. Sherman in a ceremony officiated by U.S. Army North Commanding General Lt. Gen. John R. Evans.

This establishes that TF51 is a standing organization, not something pulled together for the current situation only.

Task Force-51 is U.S. Army North’s contingency command post and is the first to deploy in support of Defense Support to Civil Authority and establish ground operations under U.S. Northern Command’s area of responsibility. The task force is designed to mobilize rapidly in support of the lead federal agency during a disaster or emergency response.

It’s already been done… a permanent military program means to ‘enhance’ local law enforcement at a moment’s notice and a Renfield’s invitation…

“Task Force-51 through Army North brings the capacity and capability of the Department of Defense to help end human suffering,” said Prendergast. “That is what Army North does.”

Prendergast held multiple positions to include Task Force-51's commanding general and the deputy commanding general for sustainment and Army National Guard for U.S. Army North.

One prior position he held was overseeing US Army deployments & training to South Africa in the late 2010s. Interesting that Trump now wants to import the Afrikaners instead of assisting them. I assume Prendergast wasn’t training the SA’s African leadership against the Afrikaners during the Trump-1 administration. I don’t have the knowledge base to research overseas military deployments.

Now under Sherman’s purview, Task Force-51 coordinates U.S. Army North’s federal response when requested by the state after a disaster occurs. The task force may serve in various roles such as homeland defense, theater security cooperation, and acting as a deployable joint command post.

Sherman previously served as the director of the joint staff for the Colorado National Guard where he led responses like the COVID-19 vaccine distribution efforts, Colorado’s Marshall Fire of 2021, and Freedom Shield exercises. His extensive leadership experience allows U.S. Army North to continue strong in being ready to respond to a disaster.

“Whether it be Defense Support to Civil Authorities or homeland defense, this organization is critical,” said Sherman. “It’s important that we’re always ready to answer the nation’s call and protect the communities and citizens of our nation.”

See? See? COVID ain’t over yet. The hell has only begun.

Here is the memo Trump wrote to activate TF51.

Department of Defense Security for the Protection of Department of Homeland Security Functions

h ttps://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2025/06/statement-from-the-white-house-d320/

Presidential Memoranda, 7 June 2025

Numerous incidents of violence and disorder have recently occurred and threaten to continue in response to the enforcement of Federal law by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other United States Government personnel who are performing Federal functions and supporting the faithful execution of Federal immigration laws. In addition, violent protests threaten the security of and significant damage to Federal immigration detention facilities and other Federal property. To the extent that protests or acts of violence directly inhibit the execution of the laws, they constitute a form of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.

That’s a black lie told for no reason than to activate emergency powers wholly inappropriate to the current situation in Los Angeles. AKA spell-casting. Blocking a freeway or throwing a brick is NOT an act of rebellion against the United States.

Hmm, Trump didn’t name Los Angeles specifically in this order. It’s phrased such that it could be left in effect permanently.

In light of these incidents and credible threats of continued violence, by the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard under 10 U.S.C. 12406 to temporarily protect ICE and other United States Government personnel who are performing Federal functions, including the enforcement of Federal law, and to protect Federal property, at locations where protests against these functions are occurring or are likely to occur based on current threat assessments and planned operations. Further, I direct and delegate actions as necessary for the Secretary of Defense to coordinate with the Governors of the States and the National Guard Bureau in identifying and ordering into Federal service the appropriate members and units of the National Guard under this authority.

Gov. Newsom says that didn’t happen… and why is the plural of governors and states being used? Is the National Guard being activated elsewhere by this order?

Answer: Hegseth has already promised NG deployment to future protests. If you’re wondering whether those state governors will be notified, either, then know that over 20 states have joined Newsom’s complaint re his state’s NG being activated without his knowledge or approval. I don’t see Hegseth getting what he wants without doing end-runs around those state governments, too.

Then Trump reportedly went judge-shopping. I can’t untangle that because both hands of the Deep State have intentionally muddled the concept of posse comitatus.

The members and units of the National Guard called into Federal service shall be at least 2,000 National Guard personnel and the duration of duty shall be for 60 days or at the discretion of the Secretary of Defense.

In addition, the Secretary of Defense may employ any other members of the regular Armed Forces as necessary to augment and support the protection of Federal functions and property in any number determined appropriate in his discretion.

Hegseth now has carte blanche to deploy the entire U.S. military domestically.

To carry out this mission, the deployed military personnel may perform those military protective activities that the Secretary of Defense determines are reasonably necessary to ensure the protection and safety of Federal personnel and property The Secretary of Defense shall consult with the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security prior to withdrawing any personnel from any location to which they are sent.

No more mention of state governors, when it comes time to discuss withdrawal.

Pentagon draws up rules on possible use of force by Marines deployed to LA protests

h ttps://apnews.com/article/marines-protests-california-deployed-trump-503e1de25b45c760218d8ae879c8d2d3

By Tara Copp and Lolita C. Baldor, 9 June 2025

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon was scrambling Monday to establish rules to guide U.S. Marines who could be faced with the rare and difficult prospect of using force against citizens on American soil, now that the Trump administration is deploying active duty troops to the immigration raid protests in Los Angeles.

It’s a red flag when Pentagon brass is being forced to create new “military use of force against American citizens” documents by Trump’s unjustified and possibly unprecedented deployment of Marines. Deployment of NG without State approval hasn’t been done since 1965, let alone military.

That’s how unreal the situation is. Rioting contained to a few city blocks, no casualties, not even a weekend of duration, yet Orange Kike had 4,000+ NG and 700+ USMC deployed “for the safety of Federal agents”.

U.S. Northern Command said it is sending 700 Marines into the Los Angeles area to protect federal property and personnel, including federal immigration agents. The 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines are coming from Twentynine Palms, California, and will augment about 4,100 National Guard members already in LA or authorized to be deployed there to respond to the protests.

The forces have been trained in deescalation, crowd control and standing rules for the use of force, Northern Command said.

But the use of the active duty forces still raises difficult questions.

Difficult questions such as, how were they trained without having a standard to train towards? Because they trained to keep peace in Third World hellholes with no First Amendment or presumption of innocence?

Trump is clearly using Los Angeles to force the development of guidelines that the Pentagon would probably never develop voluntarily. Among other agenda items.

Why Was The Mexican Flag Chosen To Be The Primary Symbol Of The “Color Revolution” That Has Erupted In Los Angeles?

h ttps://themostimportantnews.com/archives/why-was-the-mexican-flag-chosen-to-be-the-primary-symbol-of-the-color-revolution-that-has-erupted-in-los-angeles

By Michael, 11 June 2025

Ah good, I’m not the only one who noticed there’s no obvious reason for the Mexican flags being waved around by white anarchists.

Despite what I said about Compton, the Mexicans aren’t having any of this. The Mexican uprising signaled by that conspicuous flag-waving is observably not happening. That makes sense. Neither legal nor illegal Mexican migrants have anything to gain from throwing bricks at riot cops. As if the nation Mexico would signal an invasion before preparing an invasion, or as if the Mexicans are loyal to the globo-Jew national government of Mexico!

Mexicans aren’t even the problem. As a lifetime Californian, I know how they behave towards gringos. They come North, live in squalor to save up money, then go back home to live well the rest of their lives. They don’t stay, as a rule, and even when they do, they’re America’s neighbors. Deportation for them is a brief car drive to their uncle’s home. Not worth rioting over!

Of course they sponge off our welfare. They’re being offered it for free. Why wouldn’t they accept free money? When the free money stops, they’ll be the least desperate demographic.

Mexicans don’t instinctively hate Whites like blacks, Pajeets, Jews and many others do. They have their share of crooks and Commies, fact, but USA could have much worse neighbors.

Mexicans even belong in North America. South of the Rio Grande, okay, but that’s still North America.

So then, good question, why IS the Mexican flag being waved everywhere?

Answer is, it’s not a color revolution. No government is being destabilized. This is a false-flag incident to support several years’ worth of Republicans calling for an invasion of Mexico. Looks like “because fentanyl” wasn’t working.

Specific tactics may change, but the playbook is always the same. All over the world, “color revolutions” have featured graffiti, vandalism, arson, rioting, looting and violent clashes will law enforcement officers. The goal of the rioters is to pressure authorities into giving them what they want so that the chaos will stop. And “color revolutions” always feature a highly visible set of colors that are deeply meaningful to the people that are being encouraged to protest. In this case, the Mexican flag has been specifically chosen to be the primary symbol of the “color revolution” that has erupted in Los Angeles.

Somebody doesn’t know what a color revolution looks like. Hint: not like vandalizing a Waymo taxi.

The following comes from the New York Times…

“As images of protests in Southern California have flooded television and social media in recent days, a key question has emerged: Why are so many protesters carrying Mexican flags at an American political protest?

“That is a very good question.

“We have been bombarded by images of Mexican flags in recent days. In fact, the rioters that were standing on top of the burning Waymo taxis were literally waving Mexican flags…

Instead of the typical pictures, let me say that this article had multiple links to Victor Davis Hanson fellating Orange Kike. If VDH is not already a paid shill for the Zionists then they’re missing an opportunity. All the Zionist controlled opposition have begun linking to him early and often.

“Look at all the foreign flags,” Stephen Miller, the deputy White House chief of staff and the architect of Mr. Trump’s domestic agenda, said Sunday on X. “Los Angeles is occupied territory.”

Yes, look at all the foreign flags… there’s only one nation responsible for America’s immivasion? The least troublesome one? The one that Trump needs conquered in order to build his Technate?

And while a pundit can screech sweeping statements like “Los Angeles is foreign-occupied territory” without serious accountability, that’s a policy statement when it comes from, quote, the deputy White House chief of staff and the architect of Mr. Trump’s domestic agenda.

Trump team said to be debating ‘how much’ to invade Mexico

h ttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-invade-mexico-drugs-fentanyl-b2654992.html

By Katie Hawkinson, 27 November 2024

Donald Trump and his team are reportedly debating “how much” to invade Mexico once he takes office, a new report claims.

QED.

Trump and his transition team staff are discussing a “soft invasion” of the country, Rolling Stone reports. These conversations come after Trump promised to “wage war” on drug cartels in Mexico both during his first term and on the campaign trail.

“How much should we invade Mexico?” a senior Trump transition member told Rolling Stone. “That is the question.”

This “soft invasion” would involve American special forces assassinating cartel leaders in Mexico, another source close to the president-elect told Rolling Stone.

Trump proposed a similar plan in private discussions earlier this year, Rolling Stone reported in May.

That’s how Jews operate: terrorists, not soldiers. They’re driven to personalize the enemy and commit (state-sanctioned) murder. No, guided bombs through a window are not the same thing as soldiers killing each other in open conflict.

Let me show you what I mean.

Netanyahu tells Iranians attacks pave way for 'freedom'

By 13 June 2025

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video message addressed to the Iranian people on Friday that his country's attacks could pave the way for them to overthrow the Islamic Republic.

"The objective of Israel's military operation is to remove this threat, both the nuclear threat and the ballistic missile threat to Israel. And as we achieve our objectives, we're also clearing the path for you to achieve your objective, which is freedom."

"The time has come for you to unite around your flag and your historic legacy by standing up for your freedom from an evil and oppressive regime. "

"(Tehran) has never been weaker. This is your opportunity to stand up and let your voices be heard," Netanyahu added.

"Our fight is with our common enemy, a murderous regime that both oppresses you and impoverishes you brave people of Iran,

Ask yourself, what kind of military thinking is that? “We just murdered your leaders in cold blood, also a bunch of you who shouldn’t have lived & worked in the same buildings, so now is the time for you to rise up and love us for the blood we shed in your name. WE DID IT FOR YOU, PEOPLE OF IRAN!”

That’s not military strategy. That’s a terrorist playing a movie in his brain, of being welcomed as a liberator for murdering & robbing the people he was going to murder & rob anyway. Being praised for it means it doesn’t count as murder! Huzzah for the will of the people!

End segue2

The mindless rioters in the streets probably have no idea that they are following the “color revolution” playbook very precisely.

The colors of the Mexican flag are being inextricably linked with this “color revolution”, and the goal is to intimidate the other side so that they will agree to back down…

“This one is a THREE-color revolution!”, ow my brain.

That isn’t just bullshit, it’s deceit. The author is grasping at any lie that sounds plausible, because the truth, “false flag opportunity for Trump’s stated agenda”, is self-evident to anybody who’s been following US/Mexican headlines. Dissidents like me are always on the lookout for a color revolution, so one of the Narrative control efforts is apparently telling us that’s what this is, but a rare select few of us actually knows what a color revolution looks like… NOT like a color!

On Wednesday, California Governor Gavin Newsom delivered an ominous address in which he stated that “Democracy is under assault” and… “Democracy is under assault right before our eyes — the moment we’ve feared has arrived,” he added.

This was a signal.

I don’t see it and nothing happened. Please explain.

For a very long time, leftists have been holding discussions about what they will do once Trump “becomes a dictator”, and when Newsom used the phrase “the moment we’ve feared” he knew exactly what he was doing.

No. Signaling Trump Derangement Syndrome is not an act of rebellion against the United States.

Newsom is actively trying to make the protests even worse.

Newsom is culturally intersecting with the boy who cried wolf. This is the one time he’s right, yet I cannot fault anybody for ignoring him.

We all know that the Mexican flag evokes very powerful emotions for Mexicans living in the United States.

Emotions such as “I’m glad I escaped the Madam President who outdid Hillary Clinton at Arkancide”? Trump could probably recruit Mexican migrants for a counter-invasion a la Bay Of Pigs… hmm… probably not.

But is there another reason why it was specifically chosen as the primary symbol of this “color revolution”?

Maybe. Author is now 0 for 2 reasons; is third time the charm for getting on the scoreboard?

You may have noticed that the Palestinian flag also features the colors red, green and white, and it has been showing up alongside the Mexican flag at anti-ICE protests all over the country.

The radical left would love to merge the anti-ICE movement with the pro-Palestinian movement.

And they call ME cynical! “Socialists lack color recognition so the Mexican flags will trick them into supporting Palestine”, seriously? Socialists are actually sensitive about symbol usage.

And there are certainly a lot of radical Islamic groups in this country that are in a revolutionary mood. For example, an imam in Michigan is calling for “a revival of jihad”…

All day, every day. 0 for 4.

Once war with Iran starts, I think that we will see vast numbers of Muslims out in the streets, and of course they will be joining the vast numbers of anti-ICE protesters that are already there.

Yeah, this article is controlled opposition. “The Muslims will rise up against us in the name of Iran! just like the Mexicans are rising up against us in the name of Mexico! and joining forces against our Greatest Ally!”

It’s no coincidence that every foreign threat getting “signaled” in domestic USA, is a preexisting target of AIPAC.

President Trump is also warning that his administration is going to go after whoever is financing these protests…

“Somebody’s financing it, and we’re going to find out through Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice who it is,” he said. “Under the Trump administration, this anarchy will not stand. We will not allow federal agents to be attacked, and we will not allow an American city to be invaded and conquered by a foreign enemy.”

Heh, but he’s not going after who is orchestrating these protests! I still maintain it’s actually Trump giving those protestors the orders to incriminate Mexico while providing the needed justification to garrison Los Angeles.

One last article and I’ll be done with L.A. until the hostage incident in which the police get pwned and are heroically saved by the military forces that Trump in his divine clairvoyance, luckily deployed ahead of time.

Marines to begin guarding federal property in LA

h ttps://taskandpurpose.com/news/marines-la-federal-buildings-protests/

By Patty Nieberg, 13 June 2025

Marines deployed to Los Angeles will start their mission of guarding federal buildings on Friday. National Guard soldiers who were already in the area will transition to protecting local law enforcement, the commander of the mission announced.

“I would like to emphasize that the soldiers will not participate in law enforcement activities. Rather, they’ll be focused on protecting federal law enforcement personnel,” Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman, commander of Task Force 51, the name of the military’s mission in L.A., told reporters Friday.

Confirmed, that TF51 is still running this show.

President Donald Trump federalized 2,000 California National Guard soldiers from the 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team on June 7 to protect federal buildings and law enforcement as protests against U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement operations erupted in Downtown L.A. last weekend. Two days later, Trump ordered the mobilization of 2,000 more Guardsmen, led by the 49th Military Police Brigade. He also ordered 700 Marines from 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment to make their way to L.A.

According to an Army North spokesperson, there are close to 2,000 troops actively doing personnel and property protection while 700 troops are assigned to logistics and administrative support for Task Force 51. The additional 2,000 troops may eventually be deployed to L.A. but had not been sent as of Friday night.

The holding cells must be full.

The military is paying money to contract building latrines, showers, hand washing stations, food service, full laundry service, bulk ice and bulk fuel for the troops in L.A., Sherman said, adding that they have “adequate shelter, food and water.”

QED. You can’t just drop an entire infantry division into the middle of a major city. Who’s blocking the roads NOW, huh?

The Marines arrived at the Wilshire Federal Building in L.A. on Thursday night where they received “left seat, right seat leader familiarization training” with the 79th Infantry Brigade soldiers. The Marines will take over building protection operations at noon Pacific time. U.S. Northern Command said that Marines were at the Wilshire Federal Building at Sepulveda and Wilshire boulevards, approximately 13 miles West of the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building in Downtown Los Angeles.

Sending Marines into a major city like Los Angeles to assist with law enforcement is uncommon.

In the absence of both local & state government permission, methinks it’s unprecedented since the American Civil War.

The mission is unusual for Marines, particularly a unit like 2/7, which is known for its combat role, and has raised concerns about their participation in law enforcement and use of force. Marines were last deployed to LA in 1992 to help quell riots that erupted after police were acquitted in the beating of Rodney King.

“The United States Marine Corps, as you know, they’re the ones who guard our embassies worldwide, and they are certainly trained on how to defend a federal building,” Sherman said. “That’s the mission that we’ve really focused on them to do, and that’s what they will be doing here. They’ve already started with the Wilshire building today, and we will progress from there.”

I sense the Pentagon still does not like the idea of USMC performing dual roles of law enforcement and military assault. Good for them, or at least, wise of them.

The National Guard Bureau told Task & Purpose that if the mission is over 30 days, the orders that the soldiers will be serving under will include basic allowances for housing and food.

The deployment is already scheduled for 60 days, roughly coinciding with the end of the 90-day evaluation period established by Trump’s memo on police-military integration. After which, the Trump-hating Los Angeles city government will be occupied by a foreign-loyal garrison of 5,000 active-duty military personnel who, while saying “Mexico”, are actually hundreds of miles from that border…

…and are led by Task Force 51 whose original missions were FEMA, domestic pacification & vexxine distribution, not fighting foreign wars.

I smell a D.C. coup against Newsom, and believe me, I’m trying VERY hard to care about who wins the right to rob me of my last days upon the Earth.
