  • Yes of course but they are creating the pretext to suppress and disperse all kinds of organized action. Protests, strikes, etc. Once people are normalized to “ICE agents” shooting people in the streets, going door-to-door raiding people’s houses searching for “illegal immigrants”, then it’s only one step further to do the same for “domestic terrorists” who end up being legal observers, journalists, labor organizers, political activists, etc.

    In the 1960’s and 70’s they did these things too with the FBI and whatnot, targeting people with worldwide recognition like Malcolm X, MLK, Fred Hampton, etc. but it was clumsy and blunt as a tool, not feasible for larger scale, plus economic conditions were comparatively better, so they didn’t fear anything quite resembling a complete destabilization or revolution. Now they do, and they figure they have the tools and the capacity to do an authoritarian militarily occupied police state at scale.

    Oh, well if the platform says it then it must be true, lol!

    There’s always a “Blue Dog”, or a “Blue Slip Rule”, or a Parliamentarian to help them steal defeat out of the jaws of victory. That’s not to mention the Rahm Emanuel’s, the “advisors” (the real representatives of the real DNC constituency: rich people), the fuckery around primaries and caucuses, etc.

    It’s all deliberate. You have to be extremely naive to see the composite image that emerges and continue to believe otherwise.
