I have no idea what they did after they dispersed again or who they were talking about. There were way too many people there to keep track of them.

I didn’t even find out that Indivisible had supposedly trained local activists as security until after we left the rally. The group of people I saw huddled and discussing that protestor, were dressed as security, but didn’t look like activists.

Discussing putting a surveillance detail on somebody doesn’t sound like something you would learn as an activist via standard safety and de-escalation training.

Are you sure they weren’t just trying to protect you?

If they were feds or state-federal partners, it’s impossible to believe (now more than ever), that whatever they were doing undercover at a protest had to do with keeping the Americans protesting safe.

These are the loyalists who are acting as secret police all over the country to help overthrow the government for the far right, one city and town at a time. There is a frightening amount of overlap in the venn diagram of loyalists left in the state and federal government, and people who either hold extremist beliefs or are ok normalizing them for a paycheck.

The group (being dismissed by the media as kids despite being 24-40 y/o) who just got caught texting each other about Hitler and gas chamber showers, weren’t even in a traditional extremist group. They were just leaders of their local Republican party.

The article mentions at least one known state fusion center targeting No Kings. These fusion centers are part of DHS, and were created after 9/11. They have always existed to surveill and spy on American citizens, and they work in conjunction with the task force (JTTF) that Trump directed to go after “Antifa” in NSPM-7.

Here are all the state-federal partners in my local fusion center that could have been doing this sort of surveillance even before Trump 2.0:

Thanks! Fixed it

My bad, I just copy pasted from the article. Those are after every external link.

Idk if this was a thing anywhere else, but in New Orleans, this rally felt so different than the last one. Not really in a good way.

Security was there in yellow vests with radios. Allegedly they were supposed to be local activists who has been trained by the organization Indivisible, but they definitely looked like either off duty cops or feds. Like they really stuck out, and we noticed them as soon as we got there bc we were kind of worried they might be with a nationalist group.

I’m not sure they were actually with Indivisible. They could have been feds who just got yellow vests and infiltrated/were impersonating the activist security, but they definitely weren’t activists.

They were dispersed through the crowd, and at one point they got together in a huddle to discuss some stuff near the group I was with. We kind of eavesdropped bc they seemed so sheisty, and ended up overhearing them saying they had put detail on somebody in the crowd who seemed suspicious to them.

It’s also how oligarchs have managed to convince people that supporting their policy = supporting libertarian policy.

Step 1: The government is inefficient. It should be run like a business.

Step 2: The government should be of the people, by the people, for the people. SCOTUS has the brilliant realization in 2010 that corporations are people too.

Step 3: Government interference into people’s lives should be limited = any government regulations on businesses impede freedom and progress.

Step 4: Government of the corporations, by the corporations, for the corporations. Corporations control the market, manipulate laws to eliminate competition, and collect our tax money but cannot be regulated or held accountable by the people.

Step 5: Peter Thiel warns the Antichrist will actually look like big government regulations on the economy, surveillance, and AI tech. If we allow these regulations, an authoritarian government is inevitable. Coincidentally, Thiel just happens to dominate the “free” market, and has used the government ties he purchased to establish his businesses, secure government contracts, and eliminate competition.

However, an authoritarian nightmare dystopia with inescapable big brother surveillance can’t be authoritarian because he’s a private business owner who hates “big government.” He just happens to have big government contracts.

He opposes centralized banking, and wants to replace it with cryptocurrency. Hence why he’s opening the first U.S. crypto bank.

However, as always, if he succeeds it seems the most likely outcome is the U.S. economy is just centralized through the first bank of Peter Thiel.

It’s his typical B.S. hidden under the guise of libertarian beliefs. It’s not ok for the government to do it, but it’s somehow ok bc it’s his corporation not the government.

It’s “libertarian” despite there being no chance of competition bc he also completely controls the market and the government. I guess if you also had his wealth and connections, you could easily just ask your friend the president to get your cryptobank approved too.

So, Thiel gets to control everything and everyone, and in return we get no public accountability or protection. Sweet.

Palmer Luckey’s Peter Thiel-backed crypto bank clears a key regulatory hurdle

Just received preliminary approval 2 days ago

Normally maybe, but Peter Thiel has supported getting rid of the federal reserve for a very long time. Honestly wouldn’t put it past him to intentionally try to crash the stock market. I find the timing of the rushed preliminary approval of his new bank this week very odd. I don’t think this is another 2008.

Realistically, the best case scenario is this is somewhere between 1930 and 2008, but skewing much closer to 1930. Worst case is it could be worse than 1930 bc the people running the government into the ground (and intentionally crashing the market with these terrible AI investments) don’t want it to recover, they want to destroy it and replace it with their own system which they fully control.

I honestly wonder if the majority of these data centers being built are simply gigantic crypto mining factories, and AI was kind of a red herring the entire time.

Hanover Park police are now saying the department hired the officer in January in “full compliance with federal and state law,” adding, the village confirmed he was legally authorized by the federal government to work in the United States. That is contradicting what the Department of Homeland Security said earlier Thursday.

It’s probably contradicting bc they tend to just make shit up to fit whatever narrative they need, in order to create the version of reality they need projected.

They’re doing this bullshit all over the country to people in local public positions, not just police.

A. They’re trying to clean house in democratic cities, and remove people from local government positions to decrease resistance and pushback to federal takeovers. If you go to just about any democratic city’s subreddit right now, there’s probably a weird propaganda campaign going on attacking one or several members of local government (DAs, city council, school boards). Most posts are full of the same generic comments about X city being weighed down by crime and corruption, because of elected official Y. Often there will be some general BS along the lines of how the city has always chosen failure by continuing to vote in these corrupt Democrats for decades rather than embracing a future of change.

B. Obviously this meant to make them look untouchable and intimidating in an attempt to frighten resistance into compliance.

Praljak: Bosnian Croat war criminal dies after taking poison in court

Praljak, the former commander of the main staff of the Bosnian Croat defence forces (HVO), was jailed for crimes against humanity.

Informed that soldiers were rounding up Muslims in Prozor in the summer of 1993, he had failed to make any serious efforts to stop the action, the UN war crimes tribunal found.

Praljak had also failed to act on information that murders were being planned, as well as attacks on members of international organisations and the destruction of the city’s historic Old Bridge and mosques.

Compare that to what this administration has already done in just a few months. Imaging what kind of horrific shit they will rack up in the next 3 years (minimum).

I hope the Hague keeps plenty on hand for each member of this administration so they don’t get to take the easy way out.

He’s smart enough to know what the future holds for him under the Miller>Trump>Rubio>Hegseth chain of command. Get out now or then

JDE (JD Pritzker Energy

Thank you for explaining your hilarious joke to me, and apparently combining JD Vance + JB Pritzker 🍷?

☹️ LDE

Live, laugh, eat ass

I couldn’t find a gif, hope this is acceptable

“woter u libturds even protesting?”

Yes those lawsuits against the federal government. Not civil suits against individuals.

It’s sad, but SCOTUS is a corrupt joke compared to lower court judges. Also, there’s actually 7 in favor of the admin and 8 ruled against

•222 active cases challenging Trump administration actions (this number consider a suit filed in district court and appeals that arise from the original suit as one case) •19 suits by the Trump administration challenging state or local laws •17 Supreme Court stays or orders to vacate lower court orders •1 Supreme Court affirmation of a lower court order •7 suits where judges ruled for the federal government in a summary judgement or by dismissing a suit •8 suits where judges ruled against federal government in a summary judgement or permanent injunction

A judge literally just declined another request from him, and in typical orange little bitch fashion he’s already crying to SCOTUS

There were neo Nazis peppered all around the New Orleans protest showing off their tattoos and hoping to provoke a fight, but they didn’t actually do anything besides mean mug and act pissed off people have free speech.

If that’s how you like to spend your Saturday, mean mugging on behalf of an administration that is also fucking you over, is about to drag you into Venezuelan Vietnam to die on their behalf, but let’s you say the n-word whenever you want as a little treat, I guess that’s weird but ok.

Even as a Nazi, you’re allowed to peacefully protest a peaceful protest because of that free speech you’re protesting.
