These are similar to the tactics used before the full invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Masked and umarked paramilitary performing any destablizing action on an opposing political group. The excuse is just immigration but it's clear the longer term goals are "regime change". People in these areas need to accept that they are already at war. Financial, political and militarily with a large collection of states backing the Federal regime. Many of those states have literally deployed soldiers to other states under the false justification of enforcing immigration laws. Even if they deport every immigrant, they will stay and continue to accelerate these plans. Ukraine has shown how a smaller force can challenge a larger one. It's only a matter of time for those under occupation look to Ukraine and their asymetrical use of drones and other kinds of warfare to begin fighting back. They will not leave voluntarily and once they are out of immigrants to target, they will target other groups. Time to be clear about what is happening and respond accordingly.
You know they are in all of your cloud connected cameras, inside your home, inside your tesla, pretty much everywhere you have a camera... Definitely not just at your front door. The key thing to understand about the surveillance state is that they only acknowledge access of personal data if they intend to use it in a court room. Most of it is just used for spying, information gathering, and parallel construction if necessary.
It's funny because Davos and Europe was looking to him to deal with an American problem. Now he's blaming them. Also, Davos isn't the image he's going to want going in 2028.
If it was the 1990s, and Hollywood needed an actor to play Hollywood's version of what a President used to be, then he would have been great for that role at that time.
One side in this supposed civil war has a monopoly on weapons, training, tactics, supplies, and political power.
The other side has legal weed dispensaries. It wouldn't be a civil war, more like a Gaza style genocide.
Star Trek needs some time off. I enjoyed these two episodes but after the Section 31 "movie", and the quality of it all the past few years... It just needs to go away and find a new creative team.
Every time AI is injected into something new, it's basically just an excuse to transmit more of your data and telemetry up to a cloud server so they can spy on you and sell the info to data brokers.
How long ago was it that someone would say there is secret recording technology capturing screenshots of what I watch on TV, sending it up to third parties, including the Govt, and selling it to others? You would be labelled as crazy. The boiling frog approach to build a surveillance prison around everyone while they just accept it is fascinating.
He was called Meth Damon during the Breaking Bad days. Great actor though.
