Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."
This is indeed the puzzling part: if you're a political journalist, what could be a bigger story than a plot, instigated by the president, to end U.S democracy? What possible journalistic reason can there be not cover it?
They’re literally shouting it out loud! Their plan to overturn the constitution and democracy. They’re not hiding it. They’re bragging about it.
And the media are just ignoring it, or worse normalizing it; the biggest story perhaps in modern American history.
Kill. Me. Now.
Hey friends. This is precisely what they want. They’ve been carefully orchestrating this for a long time now. They will do anything to avoid a class war. And that includes facilitating a civil war. Your neighbor is not your enemy. We all share a collective enemy. And they wear fancy suits and sit in boardrooms. Don’t let them distract you. Stop letting them divide you.
It's so silly how American politics is just nonstop fake revolutions now.
Millions flooded the US streets for the "No Kings" protests over the weekend to oppose a monarchy which does not exist without making a single tangible demand. Power was not challenged in any meaningful way. The status quo wasn't disrupted in the slightest. People held up some signs saying the president is orange and that if Kamala were president they would be at brunch, and then went home.
The whole thing was just one big pep rally for the Democratic Party, designed to accomplish nothing beyond getting American liberals excited about the prospect of someday voting for Gavin Newsom. A bunch of boomers showed up to dance around and hold signs and feel as though they are fighting the power in their feely bits, while drumming up support for the same status quo which gave rise to Trump in the first place.
You see the same fake revolutionary astroturf zeitgeist on the Republican side. American rightists are constantly pretending they're fighting some kind of populist rebellion against an oppressive establishment even while their party controls every branch of the US government. They act like Trump is ending the wars and fighting the Deep State even as he stomps out free speech on behalf of Israel, rolls out a Palantir surveillance system, pours weapons into facilitating Israel's genocidal atrocities, bombs Iran and Yemen, ramps up for war with Venezuela, and perpetuates the horrific proxy war in Ukraine.
It's two plutocrat-owned warmongering imperialist parties whipping their respective bases into the mass delusion that they are participating in a heroic act of revolutionary defiance by voting Democrat or Republican. They get everyone fighting a fake revolution so that nobody thinks about fighting a real one.
A general strike SOUNDS cute to people but the effort that would take needs to begin NOW. It needs to start with people talking to their friends/fam/neighbors. Figuring out what their needs are during a strike. Who can participate and who absolutely cannot. What political education they have. Pulling in more well off members to help the mutual aid funding of basic essentials DURING the strike. IDENTIFYING THE REAL ENEMY.
The Democratic party is one big PSYOP to fool people into thinking we have a democracy & voting matters when the truth is we live under a dictatorship of capital where both parties serve monied interests and oppress workers. Voting changes nothing. Revolution changes everything.
The western media has no interest in these hostage stories because it doesn’t see Palestinians as human beings. This will forever be a stain on humanity.
Nothing to see here except billionaires building “luxury bunkers” to escape from the inevitable societal collapse their greed will cause. We’re running out of time so it’d be great if people could realize we are in a class war so we need to punch up, not down or at each other.
