The Rise of the Thielverse and the Construction of the Surveillance State (w/ Whitney Webb) | The Chris Hedges Report
Whitney Webb traces the Thielverse’s rise and the bipartisan construction of the modern surveillance state that Trump and his benefactors are deploying against dissidents and immigrants today.
The privatizing of the Techno-authoritarian state, where every citizen is under total surveillance to prevent any "pre-crime". This is the PayPal mafia's moment. Unpacking the billionaire influence of Thiel, Musk, Ellison over government and media channels. An absolutely chilling must-read.

"All of these policies, combined with Trump’s likely illegal unilateral bombing campaign in the Caribbean seas, are assertions of the power of an absolute sovereign. Trump is trying to rule as a king, and not a benign one. He thrills at being a monarch who craps all over the people of the world"

What is the 3.5% protest rule and what does it mean for the US?
As the anti-Trump resistance has grown, so has talk of 3.5%, a figure which stems from research on previous movements
“Three and a half per cent is a quantity. But there’s also the question of quality. Have people been trained? Are they committed to nonviolent discipline? What is their message? What are their demands? What is their composition?”

How Trump is Building a Violent, Shadowy Federal Police Force
Trump’s DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agents’ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challeng...
Yeah, must read. ProPublica doing fantastic work. "Bands of masked men apprehending people in broad daylight in the streets and hauling them off. Disappearing people to a third country, to a prison where there’s a documented record of serious torture and human rights abuse.”

State terrorism is lowering the bar for random acts of kidnapping, physical and sexual assaults, especially against anyone of colour. Since "ICE agents" are anonymous, anyone can pretend to be ICE.

Got a spam call from a call centre about "a red flag on my credit card account".
Knowing now about the forced slave labour conditions of some of these outfits, I am more sympathetic - and wanted to ask "are you safe?".
But I said, "they don't make these calls", and he said "okay" and hung up.
