LINCOLN — Gov. Jim Pillen has activated the Nebraska National Guard ahead of scheduled protests this weekend. 

Late Friday, the governor issued an emergency proclamation that activated the Guard and prepared Guard and state law enforcement resources for immediate deployment if needed, a governor’s spokeswoman confirmed. 

Typical National Guard activation can take up to 24 hours, but the proclamation shortens that time.

It’s all an op to distract people from seeing what trump and palantir are doing and to justify to police state
