This is a good reminder to the entire military right now, all the way up and down the chain. I hold my DD-214 close, so incredibly thankful Iβm not serving through this insanity.

My assumption is he was threatened with the same punitive actions levied against those in uniform who dared to say a word about CK. Maybe heβll speak when safe.

Thus if you speak out against fascism, you can be labeled βAntifaβ and therefore βterroristβ, thereby being subject to surveillance, search, and seizure of all telecommunications and electronic communications, which can then be used against you.
Is anti-authoritarian rule terrorism too?
Those were some of my favorite classes. Plus they laid the foundation for greater learning in other areas of study. Adding the logic/logical fallacies focus would definitely be a step above. Itβs a shame colleges lose professors who bring the most insight because they need a culture of learning.

And like frogs in a pot of water, the heatβs only going to get worse as weβre slowly brought to a boil. Slowly, so the American people are desensitized to the violence.

The right has tapped perfectly into propaganda and messaging.Plus theyβve combined that with the use of bots, AI, as well as info flooding distortion.
