Killing Grants That Have Saved Lives: Trump’s Cuts Signal End to Government Work on Terrorism Prevention
—

Tens of millions of dollars slated for violence prevention have been cut or are frozen as DOGE steamrolls the national security sector. “This is the government getting out of the terrorism business,” said one grant recipient.

"DOGE went to the private #security contractor working for #USIP ...said, you don’t have a clear #legal or ethical ability to do this. But if you don’t want to lose all your federal contracts, you have to. And they did...

There are a lot of very large federal security contractors who wield #violence & force on behalf of the #US govt... those contractors are also extremely vulnerable to #DOGE because DOGE can make contracts disappear"

Text from article(edited for length): ...I want to draw out a critical element of what happened on Monday... DOGE went to the private security contractor working for USIP & essentially said, you don’t have a clear legal or ethical ability to do this. But if you don’t want to lose all your federal contracts, you have to. And they did. This cuts to the core of DOGE’s role as a rogue operation inside the federal govt and critically one that very much by design engineered its ability to work across the entire federal govt. One department or another … none of that matters. DOGE is operating everywhere. The critical point is this: There are a lot of very large federal security contractors who wield violence and force on behalf of the US government. In theory, they do it under the state’s monopoly over the legitimate use of violence and under law. But those contractors are also extremely vulnerable to DOGE because DOGE can make contracts disappear, absent any kind of review process, beyond the reach of the clout of stakeholders within any one agency, anywhere in the government. So the basic transition that occurred here has many potential applications. Maybe DOGE says to a policing contractor. Look, it’s not pretty. But if you don’t want to lose your contracts you’re going to have to break up that protest. Or maybe you need to take the mayor into custody. Simple point: lot of capacity of state violence and a lot of cash. And DOGE operates front to back across the transaction.

March 18: France will distribute a “survival manual” for every household.

March 6: Netherlands said citizens need to prepare to manage "without the central government" in case of a "real conflict.”

November 2024: Sweden, Norway & Finland put out new advice on surviving war with Sweden including this message:

“If Sweden is attack…we will never give up. All information to the effect that resistance is to cease is false.”

Another Brexit dividend... The EU will exclude UK arms manufacturers from its €150bn rearmament fund unless the UK signs a security & defence pact with the EU.... negotiations on which have stalled due to the continuing tensions between the EU & UK on fishing & youth mobility.

So, looks like for now the only increase in defence spending that will be spent in the UK is out own...

But, hey those Europeans, eh? Glad to see the back of them.... /s
