We Are Now In the Disappearing People Part

Gestapo tactics.  The end is here. 

How far a leap until they shut down this site?  And Colbert, the Daily Show and anybody daring to put the truth out there?

Even the idiots got to be a little concerned.   No, nevermind.  They are idiots. 

Gestapo indeed, she wasn't even a protester, just a student journalist who was critical of the university response to students' demand that the uni divest from israel. 

 

Guessing she didn’t have $5million for the Gold Card

Already whisked away some 2000 miles:

"By Wednesday evening, ICE records indicated that Ozturk was being held in Louisiana. The agency’s Online Detainee Locator System listed her as being detained at the South Louisiana Correctional Center in Basile, La."

Has there been any official announcement of exactly why she was seized?

Don't get me wrong, I fully expected this type of thing to start happening and believe it's likely if not absolutely certain that because of what she wrote she was singled out as part of the larger control through fear neo-fascist regime we're stuck in now, I'm just curious how they're spinning this one.

"It's the liberals fault!!!"

Somehow it always seems to come to that, it's their default response to everything. It's become morbidity interesting to see how many ways they can stretch that one excuse.

Deny, blame, attack, repeat.

That's a shitty way to construct an administration, but it's worked very well for them.

Will there be a breaking point?

Other than lots of talk, real change from this path we're on will only happen if many, many of the mindless MAGA supporters turn against them.

By definition those people are pretty mindless and I don't think the MAGA machine will let it get that far.

Unfortunately, as stupid & evil as the MAGA machine is I believe they have a plan, one that relies on fear and ignorance. They've already got the later going for them and they're working hard to develop the former.

It's gonna' get worse before it gets better.

Last gasp of the patriarchy 

Because they ain't going down easy 

If this is happening already 

Some of his heroes incorporate such things as the execution of any and all drug users 

And you know chopping up journalists 

To name a couple

> their lawful status should be revoked, since charges were not filed against her

So much for due process. It was nice while it lasted. What's up next? Summary executions?

Governor Shit of Oklahoma fires the Chief Forester after major wildfires burned 170, 000 acres, 400 homes, and killing 4 people.  It has been a very dry spring season here with many days of high winds, and this guy had 40 years experience, but one of the homes that burned to the ground was the governors own home.

never heard of canary mission. fuck these guys. i mean....the whole nazi thing...bueller? 

https://canarymission.org/professors?query=

While Bash has long run Canary Mission’s operations, the man with the money pulling the strings appears to be multimillionaire Adam Milstein, a convicted felon and close associate of the late multibillionaire Israel supporter Sheldon Adelson.

Miriam Adelson has delivered on a pledge she reportedly made at the start of the general election season, donating $100 million to a campaign committee supporting the candidacy of Donald Trump, according to disclosures filed Tuesday with the Federal Election Commission.

 

...

 

A major funder of pro-Israel politics and a prolific donor to Jewish causes, Adelson, 79, is carrying on a legacy she built with her late husband, casino magnate Sheldon Adelson. The Adelson family has long been one of the largest sources of campaign money for Republican candidates and has backed Trump during each of the last three general elections. Now, the widow is wielding an estimated net worth of $35 billion on her own. Though seen as more deliberate in her decision-making, she has not meaningfully departed from her late husband’s politics.

these deportations are the end result of the propagandistic rhetoric used by the pro isreal movement to equate antizionism and criticism of isreal as antisemitism, cast pro palestinian slogans and protests as pro-hamas or pro terrorist, to equate calls for boycotts, divestment and sanctions as calls for the "destruction of isreal", and to create moral panic with the hoax of some kind of incredible wave of left wing antisemitism sweeping college campuses and the country, while the real backers of the american pro isreal movement like the adelsons and APAIC cosy up to donald trump, the far right, andchristian zionists where there actually does exist a huge wave of antisemitism in the form of rising neonazism and great replacement/NWO conspiracies.

this is it, this is the end result - arresting and deporting people for criticizing isreal or supporting palestine. i think most of the people who engage in this kind of rhetoric, including the few zoners who do, know deep down that most of the people they accuse of being pro-hamas or supporting oct 7 dont actually support those things, and maybe when they see an authoritarian like trump using that same rhetoric to deport legal immigrants and break up families over legitamate political views they might think twice...but i doubt it. 

> Is people with Autism tats disappeared into El Salvadorian hell holes more evil enough to counter the fact that Kamala was also evil now?

I want to believe that AI wrote that sentence.

but I know they are never at fault for the consequences.

no, the people protesting killing of  civilians and ethnic cleansing are not responsible for the political results the previous administration wrought upon itself by funding that ethnic cleansing.

dont really know how to respond to the totally unintelligible second part of that post

> Is people with Autism tats disappeared into El Salvadorian hell holes more evil enough to counter the fact that Kamala was also evil now?

El Nino, what does that mean?

so the evil isnt not kamala but rather the bigger one that eats four breakfasts. seventy nine has already happened and the pickle juice is sweet in venezula

Anyone else imagining drizzling maple syrup all over that pancake?

And they thought it couldn't happen here
(duh duh duh)
They knew it couldn't happen here
They were so sure it couldn't happen here
But...

Benway loves to speak in gross hyperbole. First of all, nobody on this dbmb has been crying about the words the pro Palestinian folks use. The words the pro Hamas people use do cross lines, but nobody on this board goes there. I think most people see the differences between shit like "free Palestine" and "stop the genocide" vs "globalize the intifada" and "from the river to the sea..." Personally, say whatever the fuck you want. If people want to redefine intifada or Naziism to suit their needs, I really couldn't care less. 

Of course, Benway did blame all this on the AIPAC and whatever stupid conspiracy crap that folks are using. Blah, blah, blah...

 Instead, blame our fucked up administration and the growing fear in the right of Islam taking over the West by 2050.  Nah, fuck it, just keep blaming those powerful Jews that run everything.

Here Are Trump’s Top Billionaire Donors

Well, judging by the names and industries on this list, I'm guessing that it's Christians that are running the USA. Blame them and their religious leaders that are eager for the apocalypse.  

(Oh wait -- that doesn't rile up the audience on conspiracy talk radio, blasting into the dark forests of America, who eagerly listen to increase their dopamine levels, and hence increase the profits of these fine journalistic "news" outlets.)

"The top industries among Trump’s top billionaire backers are casinos (4), finance (3) and oil and gas (3)."

What really freaks me out is the way these ICE police are dressed. Why not wear official uniforms or plainclothes? (And they look so young.)

Are they supposed to be "undercover" with black outfits and masks on? Are they supposed to not be suspicious looking? 

I don't think they are going to blend in very well in the parking lot of the local poultry slaughtering plant in Kansas. They look like a gang of teenage anarchists.

If they really wanted to look intimidating and historically relevant, they should probably dress in "all white".

Also -- where is the outrage about evil humans in other parts of the world? Why do the Mediterranean killers get all the attention?

"Since Sudan gained independence 1956, more than 2.5 million Sudanese have been killed as a result of brutal conflicts, including two civil wars that resulted in the breaking away in 2011 of what is now South Sudan. From 2003–2005, the government of Sudan under President Omar al-Bashir, with the help of the Janjaweed Arab militias, committed genocide in the region of Darfur. Targeting non-Arab ethnic groups, they killed more than 200,000 people and displaced more than 2 million."

"The Rohingya genocide is a series of ongoing persecutions and killings of the Muslim Rohingya people by the military of Myanmar. ...The crisis forced over a million Rohingya to flee to other countries. ...Several countries consider these events ethnic cleansing....The persecution of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar dates back to at least the 1970s.[11] Since then, the Rohingya people have been persecuted on a regular basis by the government and Buddhist nationalists.[12] ..., a study which was conducted in January 2018 estimated that the military and the local Rakhine population killed at least 25,000 Rohingya people and perpetrated gang rapes and other forms of sexual violence against 18,000 Rohingya women and girls."

"The Second Congo War and its aftermath caused an estimated 5.4 million deaths, primarily due to disease and malnutrition, making it the deadliest conflict since World War II, according to a 2008 report by the International Rescue Committee.[13] However, this figure has been disputed, with some researchers arguing that many of the deaths may have occurred regardless of the war and that the actual death toll was closer to 3 million. The conflict also displaced approximately 2 million people, forcing them to flee their homes or seek asylum in neighboring countries.[11] Additionally, the war was heavily funded by the trade of conflict minerals, which continues to fuel violence in the region."

Trump is trying to scare everyone so that all dissent is silenced. Madison would be appalled. Who are we? I don't know anymore.

 At least many of us are in this together, Lil. I feel afraid at times and then I remember we're here together in community. Keep the love flowing.

I keep thinking of Germany in the 30's.

Control through intimidation and fear. Oldest playbook around.

Even if the judges and a shred of common sense & decency are eventually able to get some if not most of these criminal acts overturned and the innocent are released and the guilty get some basic human rights, the MAGA machine will have accomplished their objective; scare the shit out of everybody and drive them to their knees.

Anyway, as with all things, it's important to remember that no matter how bad it gets, this too shall pass.

Until then, I'm the guy with the drink...
