ICE's use of full-body restraints during deportations raises concerns over inhumane treatment

French writer, Albert Camus once said-"Be careful, when democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but not to inquire about its health."

And with a thin smile, it fluffs the pillow, smooths the sheets, and whispers, "Rest now—I’ll take it from here."

Serbia's last independent television station N1 own by United Group is losing its voice to vucic (former min of propaganda under milosevic) & russia.
Puppet media devaluating news and replacing it with controlled disinfo is the new normal.
