THE MUTILATION DOCTRINE: 250 Years from Liberty to Liability
By Janet Kira Lessin with Sasha Alex Lessin, Ph.D.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 2026 — As the United States stumbles toward its 250th anniversary this July, the “Spirit of ’76” has been replaced by the “Shattering of ’26.” While the administration prepares for a grand “Salute to America 250” spectacle, the reality on the ground is a visceral betrayal of the very independence we claim to celebrate. We have entered the era of the Mutilation Doctrine. What we are witnessing is not “law and order”; it is the tactical “Gaza-fication” of the American suburb. The goal is no longer to maintain the peace, but to harvest fear—crumbling the American soul like a dry cracker until the “Free American” is nothing more than a memory.
I. The 2025 Foundation: Constructing the Cage
To understand the blood on the pavement in 2026, we must look at the machinery built in 2025—the “Year of the Foundation.” Month by month, the “Bully Paradigm” removed the guardrails of the Republic:
- JANUARY: The “Inaugural Shock.” Mass firing of Inspectors General and the gutting of civil service protections. The Laken Riley Act turned local issues into federal pretexts for violence.
- MARCH: The “Alien Enemies Act of 1798” was invoked, allowing for summary actions without trial.
- MAY: The “Donroe Doctrine” prioritized Arctic mineral grabs over all tribal and environmental laws, signaling that “Dominance” was the new federal religion.
- JULY: The “One Big Beautiful Bill” shifted billions from SNAP and student loans into “Surge Security.”
- SEPTEMBER: The “Crime Emergency” allowed “Unit 7”—a hybrid force of masked, untagged agents—to move from the borders into our metro neighborhoods.
- DECEMBER: The 250-Year Task Force announced that July 4, 2026, would be a “Celebration of Order,” not a “Celebration of Dissent.”
II. The Seventeen-Day Blitz: The Dossier of Shame
We are only seventeen days into 2026, yet the ledger of trauma is already full. We name these ten casualties to ensure they are never reduced to mere “collateral damage”:
- Jan 5 (Phoenix, AZ): Sarah Jenkins (22). Suffered permanent cognitive impairment from a flash-bang grenade during a “sidewalk sweep.”
- Jan 7 (Minneapolis, MN): Renée Nicole Good (37). A mother of two was fatally shot by a masked agent while sitting in her vehicle.
- Jan 8 (Minneapolis, MN): Leo Vance. Died of mechanical asphyxia during a revived “Knee-to-Neck” restraint.
- Jan 9 (California): Kaden Rummler (19) & Britain Rodriguez (24). Within six hours, both were blinded by “Unit 7” projectiles—Kaden in Santa Ana and Britain in Los Angeles.
- Jan 11 (Chicago, IL): David Cho (45). Arm shattered by a tactical baton while filming a “Unit 7” raid.
- Jan 12 (Detroit, MI): Maya El-Amin (29). Fractured hyoid bone from a neck-hold during a residential sweep; she has permanently lost her natural voice.
- Jan 13 (Houston, TX): Baby “Lulu” (Infant). Hospitalized with chemical burns after a gas canister was fired through a nursery window.
- Jan 14 (Seattle, WA): Elena Rossi (68). A grandmother with Bronchiectasis who died of respiratory failure after OC gas saturated her apartment hallway during a “Dissent Sweep.”
- Jan 16 (Atlanta, GA): Marcus Thorne (31). Paralyzed after a sponge round struck his spine at the base of the neck.
- Jan 17 (Today): We grab the microphone to document the “Toxic Soup” of immorality.
III. The Terror of the Doorstep: Breaking the Sanctuary
The Mutilation Doctrine has followed us home. The “Right to Quiet Enjoyment”—a 250-year-old legal pillar—has been replaced by the 3:00 a.m. battering ram. These “Netflix Raids” are designed to inflict mass-scale PTSD. When “Unit 7” bashes in your door, they aren’t just looking for “agitators”; they are harvesting the submission of an entire neighborhood.
For the vulnerable, the state is knowingly deploying biological irritants that act as a death sentence for those with lung damage or compromised health.
IV. A Reality Check for the “Fuzzy”: 1776 vs. 2026
For those of us for whom school was a long time ago, remember this:
- July 4, 1776: We did not win a war that day. We issued a Declaration of Independence because a King sent “standing armies” to harass citizens and “quarter” troops in their homes.
- The Parallel: Today, “Unit 7” is the modern Redcoat. We are 168 days away from our anniversary, and the “Standing Armies” are back—blinding our youth and gassing our elders.
V. The Modern Declaration of Independence
We cannot celebrate 250 years of liberty while the streets are slick with the blood of our children. We need a Modern Declaration of Independence—a refusal to accept the “Bully Paradigm.”
We declare independence from:
- State-Sponsored Violence: Maiming is not “management.”
- The Incursion of the Home: Our sanctuaries are not war zones.
- The Toxic Soup: We refuse to breathe the immorality of a state that targets the vulnerable.
We are the “Free Americans.” We have 250 years of defiance in our DNA. Whether we are protecting our Cat Colonies, saving our Victorian estates, or simply grabbing the digital microphone, we are the Sovereigns.
Stand with the Truth. Reclaim the Sanctuary.
