Although not officially declared (not that that matters) but with proud warfighters “revis[ing] our national strategy for what happens inside the United States” we’re now under early imposition of martial law. Integral to this is the role of civilian police forces and their further militarization in this national strategy.
Central to this is Israel (of course) acting through its ADL tentacle whose longstanding operations in the U.S. include surveillance of private citizens and various organizations; intelligence gathering and serving cover for Mossad; and widespread propaganda campaigns. Add to these activities the funding of police training and exchange programs with Israeli police and intelligence for U.S. departments at local, state, and federal levels. (The NYPD’s Counter Terrorism Bureau has an office in Tel Aviv, as well as in other foreign cities.) You can imagine what this means for infiltration of pro-Palestine and anti-Israel demonstrations, arrest and interrogation of participants and other targeted individuals, the disabuse of privacy and civil protections, and such techniques as the fabrication of evidence.
“HELPING YOU BETTER SERVE YOUR COMMUNITY - LAW ENFORCEMENT AND SOCIETY (LEAS)"
“In this nationally acclaimed training program, run in partnership with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, law enforcement officers examine the role of police under the Nazis and the implications of this history for law enforcement today, focusing on the core values of the profession. LEAS is offered in numerous cities around the country.”
“… the role of police under the Nazis… focusing on the core values of the profession”…??!!
Why do I get the impression that AI wrote that, since it is not a thinking creature, it used "ideas" as interchangeable with "intellectual property."
This is not an excuse, because it could have been a person, but the likelihood is that this was AI-based, as will soon be the norm. This will lead to more and more sloppiness in writing, including lawmaking, and being untethered from reality, it will undermine whatever remains of reality-based thought.
Yeah I skimmed it and it's a different topic but so true. I have friends who are pretty smart and well informed on recent (last 10 years, but not much further back) developments and most of them have A) never read a full book not assigned in high school or college and B) use ChatGPT to summarize any article longer than a few paragraphs for them. I've caught them out in many errors when discussing those articles after the fact. It's scary.
Use artificial intelligence to write and you get artificial writing. Phony. Fake. No life. Unreal. A lie. Faery glamour. Nothing human about it. Mere similitude, the greater the resemblance, the bigger the lie. As my daddy used to say about plastic flowers, “makes the real thing look artificial.” Our fascination with the machinery of artifice is at the root of our alienation from the real, from our bodies, from life itself.
I'll check it out. But nah it wasn't AI that wrote it, even though I'm sure they are using AI to monitor "ideas". They are literally scanning peoples' socials for "illegal" ideas. I think we can all guess what that means in practice. Ridiculous. Fascism is a term that gets thrown around a lot, but we really are getting close to some form of it, regardless which of the Color Teams holds office.
Sure, I don't disagree but with several caveats or modifications. It's Fascism with American Characteristics. Only now it's supercharged by 'AI' and the ability to rapidly collect (surveil), analyze and share data.
Why isn't domestic violence / family violence in the "Mobilization Indicators" booklet?! That's a huge proven predictor of who is likely to commit mass violence, both imminently and long-term!
Remember when this started under Biden with DHS's dire warning about "anti-government/anti-authority," "abortion-related" and "animal rights/environmental" "violent extremists"?
"The imperial boomerang is the thesis that governments that develop repressive techniques to control colonial territories will eventually deploy those same techniques domestically against their own citizens. "
So just what is the plan when Substack goes down? We can't be looking at the fine details of the impending train rushing down the rails while we remain tied to the tracks.
I hope everyone who cherishes liberty, free speech, peace, democracy, and the non-extinction of human life, is coming up with plans, preferably in private. The problem is, that from the outside, there is no discernible difference between plans being made, and nothing going on.
I worry about the seeming passivity of the public in general. The older generations need to be on the forefront of not being the last generation who had a future. The younger generations need to step up to not be the ones with no future.
I think you nailed it …”seeming passivity”. In my world people are mobilized! the chatter at the community center (where I work out) has moved from polite quiet under the breath comments to verbal arguments with neighbors, the record attendance at handsoff (my husband’s first rally ever that I didn’t drag him to), the foot traffic at the local thrift stores (people like me not buying from oligarchs). Im keeping my eyes and ears open.
Substack subscriptions are generally also sent out as email newsletters and are not reliant on the app. I assume that Substack creators have the ability to export a list of emails addresses for their subscribers?
My husband was going to a Conference in Miami. He has decided not to go because obviously foreigners are not wanted. He has multiple substack writers on his 'phone and believes strongly that boycotting USA is a useful strategy. He has written to the Conference owners to let them know why he is not coming.
I'm just speculating here, but I would think for any possible future visits, it might make sense to get a new, inexpensive, phone today, or soon. Do not connect it to any of your normal accounts. Get a pre-paid SIM, set it up with new accounts, a new email address on a different ISP, download anodyne apps, lots of games and mainstream website visits. Family contacts. Use it occasionally, each week before you go, and take that phone with you. If they want to look, there's nothing to see.
If you need to connect with your old Substack, or other, accounts, you can download whatever - after safely past immigration, using mobile data, might be best. If you download anything you feel uncomfortable with, then wipe it, reload generic games on departure. Or, depending on the cost, wipe and sell, or toss, in the appropriate recycling location.
I'm just at a loss for words at this point

Taken from the ADL’s own website https://www.adl.org/sites/default/files/ADL%20Training%20Opportunities%20for%20Law%20Enforcement.pdf is this chilling statement:
“HELPING YOU BETTER SERVE YOUR COMMUNITY - LAW ENFORCEMENT AND SOCIETY (LEAS)"
“In this nationally acclaimed training program, run in partnership with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, law enforcement officers examine the role of police under the Nazis and the implications of this history for law enforcement today, focusing on the core values of the profession.

“… the role of police under the Nazis… focusing on the core values of the profession”…??!!
Yes, I'm at a loss for words too.
Am I now on the counter-terrorism list for liking The Klip?
nah you're cool
Gorka is a thoroughly unpleasant piece of work.
They have itchy trigger fingers but the boogey man they created doesn’t exist.
It is not real but that doesn’t matter when you think it’s real.
On the street today with my new sign - "1.5 million human beings starving to death - Netanyahu and Trump GRINNING MONSTERS"
Did you catch this one Ken? Now Customs and Border Protection have added "Illegal IDEAS" to their list of banned or policed "imports."

that's insane lol. Free speech is back, baby!

I refer you to this mind-boggling article:

Close??? Tom, we’re there!

Yes, the Uniparty has managed to take over the US political system to such an extent that many do not even recognise that it exists.
Dang. I’m in Minnesota. Whenever I see Ilhan Omar targeted yet again, I just gotta donate to her campaign. Ain’t no one more brave than her.

This is bad news but I suspect it’s due in part to their fear of being ousted. I mean they are fast tracking everything, so why not their demise?
Remember when this started under Biden with DHS's dire warning about "anti-government/anti-authority," "abortion-related" and "animal rights/environmental" "violent extremists"?
Under Obama, the only people who went to prison over torture were the people who blew the whistle on it.
I can say with a fair degree of certainty that it didn't start with Obama, either.
The ruling class always wants to control the narrative.
Foucault's Boomerang (again)
not smart enough for this joke!

From Wikipedia.
100% - thanks Stanley
I had to read Gorka's quotes in the James Adomian accent because otherwise I would have started screaming.
I was just messaging with him lol
Well, they do like 'splosions.

We’re all screwed. Sorry to be so blunt.
"Warfighters", not soldiers.
Which is funny, because drone pilot nerds dropping bombs on impoverished civilians with drones isn't fighting a war.

Not good for business or tourism USA.

Good idea but neither of us plan to go to the USA.
In many ways it's a good idea to boycott. It might help someone see sense!
