Why fabricate fake terrorists when we have so many white nationalists around? Oh, because he likes those ones...
"Proud Boys, stand back and stand by!" -Trump
Nothing surprising about this at all.
This is the same old rat-fucking playbook of the fascists going way back to the days of COINTELPRO and probably earlier. And then this same mentality is what led the right wing to do things like infiltrate vegan potlucks in order to combat "terrorism", lol.
This is the same bunch that ignored the obvious planning of the donnie fanbase of J6. The same bunch that already found that the far right are the ones that represent the biggest threat to this country and yet do very little about it.
I mean... have you heard about the attack on Sender Gleiwitz?
False flag is a true and tested tradition for fascists
They infiltrated vegan potlucks?!
Those evil vegans sharing food together.
This was an effort in the early days of the "war on terror": https://www.greenisthenewred.com/blog/fbi-informant-vegan-potluck/437/
You have to remember that a lot of qons still view veg*ns as anathema to "American values".
At the time, they also wanted to go after Quakers for terrorism charges, one of the only religous groups who are exempt from being drafted involuntarily into the military because violence is strictly against their religion.
Every day I find a new reason to hate the US government.
1/3 of vegans I know are an inch from activation already.
SOP for The Group Of Prevaricators
......yes.
Shouting "were not fascists!" while doing facist things, does not stop you from being fascists.
One point of contention. I dont think tangles is some defunct meta app. Texas has recently acquired a contract with a law enforcement surveillance tool called tangles.
Tangles is a product offered by the cybersecurity company Cobwebs Technologies, which was founded in Israel in 2014 by three former members of Israeli military special units. The company has said their products, which are marketed as open source intelligence (OSINT) tools, have been used to combat terrorism, drug smuggling, and money laundering, but Meta has accused the company of operating as a surveillance-for-hire outfit. In 2023, Cobwebs Technologies was acquired by the Nebraska-based tech firm PenLink Ltd.
This tool is out there, and still being used.
Meta has accused the company of operating as a surveillance-for-hire outfit.
What?
Idk, ask the Texas Tribune, haha.
I feel people have made the same mistake before, and confused crowdtangle, which is a disinformation tracker, and tangles, which is a "surveillance-for-hire outfit." Meta probably felt the need to clarify, at least once time before.
Harris certainly needs to be bringing this up in every.single.interview.
Not only does it shut up the critics of her being the fake "border czar", it also illustrates the need to manufacture bullshit to sell a false narrative, which is the entirely of Trump's being.
This article is from November of 2022, so it probably won’t resonate with voters any more than his more recent offenses.
Homeland security was created after 9/11 by Bush, so that tracks.
