‘No Kings’ movement and what it wants: Inside the message driving Saturday’s nationwide protests

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
«No Kings» protests against President Donald Trump and his administration’s policies are set to kick-off in cities nationwide Saturday to declare, «America has No Kings.»
«We’re standing together against the abuses of power, cruelty, and corruption. On October 18, we gather to remind President Trump and his enablers: America has No Kings!» the movement’s website states of the upcoming Saturday protests/
Protests declaring America has «no kings» first mobilized back in February on President’s Day to denounce the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency and cuts to the federal government. The «No Kings» movement, however, gained national prominence in June, when Trump held a miliary parade honoring the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary, which also fell on his 79th birthday.
Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets of Washington, Los Angeles, Denver, New York, Philadelphia and elsewhere to protest what they viewed as Trump’s «coronation» day, as well as other administration policies, including its ongoing deportation efforts.

«The world saw the power of the people. President Trump’s birthday parade was drowned out by protests in every state and across the globe. His attempt to turn June 14 into a coronation collapsed, and the story became the strength of a movement rising against his authoritarian power grabs,» the «No Kings» website outlines.
Four months later, «No Kings» protests will be held in cities such as Philadelphia, New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles and Hartford, Connecticut, to protest the Trump administration with a heightened focus on speaking out against the administration’s efforts to deport millions of illegal immigrants residing in the U.S. The group states on its website that it anticipates «millions across the country» will «march against authoritarian politics and billionaire takeover.»

«President Trump has doubled down. His administration is sending masked agents into our streets, terrorizing our communities,» the «No Kings» website states. «They are targeting immigrant families, profiling, arresting and detaining people without warrants. Threatening to overtake elections. Gutting healthcare, environmental protections, and education when families need them most. Rigging maps to silence voters. Ignoring mass shootings at our schools and in our communities. Driving up the cost of living while handing out massive giveaways to billionaire allies, as families struggle.»
The protests are organized by left-wing groups such as Indivisible, a grassroots progressive organization behind anti-Trump protests stretching back to the 2016 election, as well as other groups such as the American Federation of Teachers, ACLU, Greenpeace, the Human Rights Campaign, MoveOn, National Nurses United, Public Citizen and Service Employees International Union, according to its website.

The group repeatedly calls on participants to peacefully protest on its website. Los Angeles’ «No Kings» protests in June did devolve into chaos, as «agitators who came here with the purpose of creating chaos» attacked police officers, the Los Angeles County sheriff told local media at the time.
The Saturday protests are expected to focus on Trump’s immigration policies, including Trump’s alleged «authoritarian takeovers of cities—deploying federal forces, seizing local police departments, and funding mass detention and deportation operations,» as well as the movement’s ongoing claims that Trump is conducting himself more like a monarch than a president.
WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT TODAY’S ‘NO KINGS’ ANTI-TRUMP RALLIES ACROSS THE US
«President Trump has openly said he wants a third term and is already acting like a monarch—seizing control of D.C., threatening other cities, and using federal forces against his own people. But the American people don’t bow to kings. Together, we will peacefully mobilize, yet again, in huge numbers to reject this corruption and abuse of power—it’s in our DNA as a country,» the group’s website states.
Fox News Digital reached out to organizers of the movement for additional comment on the upcoming demonstrations but did not immediately receive a reply on Thursday.
«Who cares?» White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital when asked about the upcoming protests on Saturday.

The Trump administration has been on an immigration blitz since Trump was sworn back into office on Jan. 20, as federal law enforcement officials such as ICE agents converged on cities in targeted efforts to remove illegal immigrants. Trump has simultaneously targeted individual U.S. cities for overall crime clean-ups, including federalizing the Washington, D.C., police force in August, including ordering the National Guard to the city, with Los Angeles, Memphis and Portland facing similar crime reduction efforts. Trump’s attempt to roll out crime clean up initiatives in Portland and Los Angeles, however, are tied up in the courts.
‘NO KINGS’ RALLIES ARE A TROJAN HORSE FOR RADICAL, VIOLENT LEFTISTS
Trump’s 2024 campaign included a large focus on ending the illegal immigration crisis in the U.S. and bringing down crime, with voters frequently pointing to the issues as among their top concerns heading to the ballot boxes.

«Whether you’re outraged by attacks on civil rights, skyrocketing costs, abductions and disappearances, the gutting of essential services, or the assault on free speech, this moment is for you. Whether you’ve been in the fight for years or you’re just fed up and ready to take action, this moment is for you,» the «No Kings» website states of its objectives for Oct. 18.

The protests follow Trump and his administration securing a ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel, which included the president traveling to Israel and Egypt earlier in October to speak with world leaders directly, and as Trump holds talks Russian President Vladimir Putin Thursday and a meeting with Ukraine President Vlodomyr Zelenskyy Friday at the White House as part as a separate war between those nations continues raging since 2022.

Maduro y su grupo criminal pueden ir presos, fugar o morir, pero sus jefes los prefieren muertos

En el nuevo escenario geopolítico establecido por Estados Unidos, Nicolas Maduro y su “cartel de los Soles” deben restituir la soberanía a Venezuela y enfrentan las alternativas de ser presos, fugar, o morir, pero sus jefes y establecedores de Cuba, los prefieren muertos.
Los primeros 25 años del siglo XXI en las Américas son la historia de la expansión de la dictadura de Cuba con el dinero y petróleo de Venezuela entregados por Hugo Chávez, en que constatamos la destrucción de la democracia y su suplantación por dictaduras y regímenes para dictatoriales, el establecimiento de narcoestados y la institucionalización de la agresión contra las democracias por medio de guerra híbrida con bandera antimperialista.
La nueva política exterior de Estados Unidos ha fijado como punto de inicio Venezuela. Del destino del grupo de delincuencia organizada trasnacional que detenta el poder y que ha sido identificado como el “cartel de los soles” depende el final de la suplantación del crimen en el poder político.
La Venezuela ocupada por el cartel de los soles no es una cuestión nacional o local, es la expansión de la dictadura de Cuba que la controla a partir de la muy conveniente muerte de Hugo Chávez. Venezuela es un país ocupado por la organización de delincuencia organizada transnacional que se presenta con el rótulo de socialismo del siglo 21 que ha instalado el narcoestado, soporte guerrillero, terrorismo de Estados e internacional, penetración de las dictaduras extra continentales de China, Rusia e Irán con fines de expansión antidemocrática y que opera como “sujeto de derecho internacional”.
El socialismo del siglo 21 como organización delictiva siempre fue evidente, pero las democracias decidieron “coexistir con el crimen organizado”, cediendo y reconociéndole condición y personería política a costa de su propia seguridad, libertad y sobrevivencia, hasta que Estados Unidos -en 2025- asumió la defensa de su seguridad nacional.
Nicolas Maduro y los usurpadores de la soberanía de Venezuela están identificados como criminales, procesados, con órdenes de captura internacionales y millones de dólares de recompensa. Son el primer objetivo en la aplicación de la ley para cesar los grupos delictivos que suplantando la política han hecho de las Américas el paraíso de los delincuentes en el poder, con impunidad y con uso de inmunidades y privilegios que corresponden a dignatarios democráticos y Estados soberanos.

La identificación del cartel de los soles como organización terrorista, la operación “Lanza del Sur”, los reiterados ultimátum a Nicolas Maduro y su grupo criminal para que abandonen el poder y restituyan la soberanía al pueblo de Venezuela, y el tratamiento de Estados Unidos a Maduro su entorno como grupo criminal y no como gobierno, han quebrado la estrategia de dilación, falsos diálogos y resistencia digitada por la dictadura de Cuba, que ha funcionado para el régimen castrista por 67 años.
La realidad objetiva muestra a Nicolas Maduro y su grupo criminal solo con tres opciones:
- Entregarse o ser capturados, en una versión actualizada del narco dictador Noriega de Panamá, del Chapo Guzmán de México o de otros narcos.
- Darse a la fuga a algún país que les brinde impunidad.
- Morir autoeliminados, inmolados por sus propios entornos o neutralizados por el cumplimiento de la ley. Seguir ganando tiempo no parece una opción.
Todo indica que no es Maduro el que dirige la estrategia de resistencia que es ahora de sobrevivencia. Es Cuba!, es la dictadura jefe la que con su práctica de permanencia por casi 67 años en el poder, con su galería de haber resistido y manipulado a 13 presidentes de Estados Unidos desde Eisenhower a Biden, aspira ahora a cansar, desinteresar, debilitar, amenazar o simplemente engañar a Trump 47.
La dictadura de Cuba sabe que el fin de Maduro y la pérdida de Venezuela es el camino a su propia caída. El cartel de los soles es la última trinchera de la dictadura cubana antes de tener que afrontar su propio fin. Su juego del tiempo hasta que se debilite o cambie el presidente de Estados Unidos que lo amenaza no parece real a solo diez meses del inicio de la administración Trump 47.
El asunto de fondo es que ni Estados Unidos ni las democracias de las Américas tienen otra opción, porque las dictaduras del socialismo del siglo 21 han ido demasiado lejos con la agresión por medio de narcoterrorismo, terrorismo de Estado, migraciones forzadas, tráfico de personas, penetración con delincuencia común, manipulación digital, financiamiento de campañas electorales, toma progresiva del poder político y más. Es el punto de quiebre en el que solo puede sobrevivir la democracia o las dictaduras del crimen organizado.

El “Dr. Satán” de París: la macabra red de asesinatos que aterrorizó a Francia en plena guerra

Durante la ocupación alemana en París, Marcel Petiot, apodado “Dr. Satán”, encabezó una de las más estremecedoras series de asesinatos en la historia de Francia. De médico reconocido, pasó a ser un criminal implacable bajo la fachada de benefactor.
Marcel Petiot nació el 17 de enero de 1897 en Auxerre, Francia. Desarrolló una conducta delictiva desde su infancia. En París, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, utilizó una falsa red de rescate para atraer y asesinar a personas vulnerables a cambio de grandes sumas.
A lo largo de 1944, la policía parisina investigó denuncias relacionadas con olores extraños y humo excesivo en la vivienda de Petiot. Tras ingresar a su casa, los agentes hallaron decenas de cadáveres y efectos personales de múltiples víctimas.
El arresto de Petiot se efectuó meses después, cuando se ocultaba en París bajo otra identidad.

La biografía de Marcel Petiot evidencia señales de conducta antisocial desde temprana edad. De acuerdo con Historic Mysteries, sus primeras transgresiones incluyeron el uso de armas en la escuela y robos menores. La justicia francesa lo sometió a evaluaciones psiquiátricas en varias oportunidades.
La Primera Guerra Mundial no modificó sus hábitos delictivos. Sirvió brevemente en el ejército, fue herido y luego enfrentó nuevas acusaciones por robo de bienes militares y pertenencias de otros soldados.
Cuando la guerra finalizó, Petiot accedió a un programa educativo acelerado y, en solo ocho meses, obtuvo el título de médico. En Villeneuve-sur-Yonne, volvió al delito: suministró drogas adictivas a pacientes, cometió fraudes y presuntamente realizó abortos ilegales.

La desaparición de Louise Delaveau en 1926 marcó su posible primera víctima mortal. Vecinos relataron haberlo visto transportar un enorme baúl poco después del suceso.
Ese mismo año, Petiot se convirtió en alcalde del pueblo. Pese a estar involucrado en escándalos de corrupción y robo, mantuvo apoyo local. En 1931 dejó el cargo, pero en pocas semanas asumió como consejero municipal. La nueva función duró poco, por haber robado electricidad; entonces se mudó a París con el objetivo de rehacer su carrera.
Allí estableció una clínica privada exitosa, a menudo mediante falsas credenciales. Continuó prescribiendo drogas sin control y cometió fraudes reiteradamente. También pasó por una institución psiquiátrica por cleptomanía. Sin embargo, estos antecedentes aún no permitían anticipar la magnitud de los crímenes que perpetraría en el contexto de la guerra.
Durante la ocupación alemana, Petiot ideó un falso operativo de ayuda a fugitivos. Se presentó como “Dr. Eugene” y ofreció salidas seguras hacia Sudamérica a cambio de 25.000 francos por persona.
Muchas de sus víctimas pertenecían a grupos perseguidos: judíos, miembros de la resistencia y delincuentes buscados. Petiot aseguraba que debían recibir una supuesta “vacuna” para ingresar a Argentina.

De acuerdo con Historic Mysteries, la inyección contenía cianuro y ocasionaba la muerte inmediata de cada víctima. Petiot robaba los bienes personales y eliminaba los cuerpos arrojándolos al río Sena, depositándolos en pozos de cal o incinerándolos en su vivienda. Algunas versiones indican que utilizó el prestigio profesional y la confusión del conflicto bélico para evitar sospechas continuas.
La Gestapo investigó la red al creer que se trataba de un operativo vinculado a la resistencia francesa. Torturó a varios cómplices de Petiot sin lograr información relevante. Mientras tanto, el asesinato y la desaparición de personas continuaron en el clandestinaje de París.

En marzo de 1944, vecinos de la casa en la Rue Le Sueur denunciaron humo persistente y malos olores. La policía y los bomberos ingresaron al lugar y encontraron restos humanos en el sótano, la estufa y el patio. Los investigadores detectaron allí valijas, ropa y otros objetos pertenecientes a sus víctimas. Dr. Satán logró fugarse tras los hallazgos y permaneció oculto durante siete meses.
De acuerdo con los reportes de la época, Petiot argumentó tras su detención que sus víctimas habían sido colaboradores nazis ejecutados por la resistencia. Los jueces refutaron esa versión durante el juicio porque muchos grupos mencionados nunca existieron. En 1946, lo condenaron por 26 asesinatos y lo sentenciaron a muerte.
La ejecución de Marcel Petiot, mediante guillotina, ocurrió el 25 de mayo de 1946. De acuerdo con fuentes judiciales, el número real de víctimas probablemente haya sido mayor.
Marcel Petiot dejó una estela de horror en la historia criminal de Francia, un caso que evidencia cómo un contexto de guerra y confusión puede facilitar la impunidad durante años.
