All the Epstein emails are powerful elites saying shit like “Hello my friend the pedophile, i need your advice as a pedophile, what do you think about this other pedophile? Pedophilic Regards, your Friend ;)” and instead of swinging from a gibbet most of them are still writing op-eds against leftism

This time, I write on Kash Patel's new(ish) challenge coin, which is indicative of how one of America's most powerful performative males crafts his visual identity (spoiler: mostly out of dudecore mainstream culture).

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo

“Alright, we just got to verify that”

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship
Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

Don’t want to educate the public, to state plainly that something is facially illegal, bother to explain it ain’t just the ADA violated, it’s the Constitution?

Fuck it. Let’s see what an executive with no constraints looks like. Apparently it’s no one’s job to say illegal things are illegal.

I still say anyone who wants to defend a Confederate statute should be forced to read the original dedication speeches to tell us all what “heritage” they’re celebrating.

Casually announcing plans to murder American citizens for wrongthink.
My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

To drive this home; when Kusanagi is trying to figure out why so many people treated to assassinate the Superintendent General of Police because a threat was broadcast, Aramaki says "In a play, even the audience is part of the performance". Kusanagi dismisses the thought but he was 100% correct

To say Americans abhor political violence is a lie. We reveled in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. We reveled in the drone war. We reveled in J6. We funded the Gazan genocide. Many revel in the terroristic actions of using masked govt agents to abduct immigrants and citizens alike in broad daylight.

what a time to be an actual criminal.
New numbers show ICE is devouring US law enforcement: 1 in 5 US marshals, 1 in 5 FBI agents, half of all DEA agents, and over two-thirds of all ATF agents are now assigned to ICE enforcement. These are agencies with critical jobs they're now NOT doing.

Masked secret police opening gunfire on civilians who asked for the identification because there is no way to know anymore if you’re dealing with an organized cartel or federal agents.

The occupation returns home. The militarization of the US is completed. After 20 years of occupying other countries, we now turn the tools of occupation and surveillance inwards.

The ultimate goal is that activity online is indistinguishable from activity in real space. You already have soft ID and tracking for Internet access - this will further solidify into state licensing - whether it is tied to something like your driver's license or another form of authentication.
First porn, now YouTube, ID checks to access the internet are creeping in.

China & Russia started this way. Now their internet is locked down: no anonymity, no dissent, total surveillance.

We are sleepwalking into total fascism. Don’t buy the “protect the kids” excuse. They want total control.
