Black History Month, Juneteenth, and the Intersection of Politics and Intelligence
Introduction Black History Month serves as an annual celebration of the achievements, contributions, and history of African Americans in the United States. Observed every February, this month-long commemoration highlights the struggles and triumphs of Black individuals throughout history. Additionally, Juneteenth has gained recognition as a pivotal holiday in American history, marking the end of slavery in the U.S. However, the intersection of politics and Black history often stirs debates, as seen in former President Donald Trump's approaches to Black History Month and Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Moreover, the role of institutions such as the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in shaping policies affecting African Americans remains an under-discussed topic.

The order announced on January 29/2025 marks a significant escalation in the Trump administration's immigration policies and reignites discussions about human rights national security and the rule of law. The executive order targets migrants who are deemed high risk or potential threats to national security. According to the Trump administration this includes individuals with suspected ties to criminal organizations terrorist groups or those who have been involved in violent activities. The order also applies to migrants who have entered the U.S illegally and are awaiting deportation proceedings.

Trump and Sheinbaum use Opposite Approaches to Achieve Similar Results
As in many things, fear in American politics sells. Americans seemingly can’t get enough of it. They love voting for people that remind them of who it is they should be afraid of, and why they should be afraid of them. They also very much appreciate being reminded that it is those same people who are responsible for all the bad things in their lives, and the lives of their loved ones. Typically these people are foreigners, though sometimes other Americans with different political viewpoints fill in as the fear based objects of choice. If you are wondering how it is I know that Americans really love these things, it is simple, because the people that espouse fear based politics get elected over and over again to a variety of government offices, up to and including presidents of the United States. In fact the easiest way to get elected to political office in the United States is to run on an agenda of be afraid, be very afraid. Professional politicians like the newly elected President of the United States Donald Trump understand and appreciate this fact about the American people, and they exploit it to their advantage whenever necessary to achieve their objectives. It is a highly effective strategy, in the short, and even medium term. Unfortunately for everyone, it is generally epically disastrous in the long term, but who thinks about the long term these days? Not Americans that is for damn sure.
