New The Authoritarian Operation in Portland Is Only a Dress Rehearsal A major American city is being
softly Pinochet’ed in broad daylight.

Esquire /Pierce




Pardon me for being this uncivil this early in the morning but, seriously, what in the FCK is this shit? From Oregon Public Broadcasting:

Federal law enforcement officers have been using unmarked vehicles to drive around downtown Portland and detain protesters since at least July 14. Personal accounts and multiple videos posted online show the officers driving up to people, detaining individuals with no explanation of why they are being arrested, and driving off. The tactic appears to be another escalation in federal force deployed on Portland city streets, as federal officials and President Donald Trump have said they plan to “quell” nightly protests outside the federal courthouse and Multnomah County Justice Center that have lasted for more than six weeks.

Federal officers have charged at least 13 people with crimes related to the protests so far, while others have been arrested and released, including Pettibone. They also left one demonstrator hospitalized with skull fractures after shooting him in the face with so-called “less lethal” munitions July 11. Officers from the U.S. Marshals Special Operations Group and Customs and Border Protection’s BORTAC, have been sent to Portland to protect federal property during the recent protests against racism and police brutality. But interviews conducted by OPB show officers are also detaining people on Portland streets who aren’t near federal property, nor is it clear that all of the people being arrested have engaged in criminal activity. Demonstrators like O’Shea and Pettibone said they think they were targeted by federal officers for simply wearing black clothing in the area of the demonstration.
LEO’s in camo? Unmarked vehicles? Disappearing people off the street without charge? Detention in something far too close to a police black site? (Ask some folks in Chicago how those work out.) I always knew I missed something not growing up in Santiago.

[. . .]

Why in the hell is this not a bigger story? A major American city is being softly Pinochet’ed in broad daylight. And, if we know one thing, if this president* and his administration* get away with this, it will only get worse. You’d have to be out of your mind—or comatose since the Fall of 2016—not to suspect that this could be a dry run for the kind of general urban mobilization at which the president* has been hinting since this summer's protests began.



Carrion ---> it's Fermenting exponentially.
New That's the Portland Police.
At least we now who they are.

What about these SS guys?

NY Times: Federal Agents Unleash Militarized Crackdown on Portland
Federal agents dressed in camouflage and tactical gear have taken to the streets of Portland, unleashing tear gas, bloodying protesters and pulling some people into unmarked vans in what Gov. Kate Brown of Oregon has called “a blatant abuse of power.”

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

New I'm betting that DJT is iggerant of the 1930s
pretty-much in toto except--surely some of his flacks have told stories of the Invincible-Creep just-like-Himself, etc. By now maybe he's heard of some Hitt (-Man>) -ler guy, But not about a single one of their Cult (nor any deatils of the How-to except) that which appears born-ingrained then cultivated by the in-house beasts.
Have we ever..? seen any Top-Dog, across the years worldwide: as bone-ignorant, though? ..claiming even HALF of his pig-iggerant Quotient?

(Caligula for ex. had learned stuff by watching how shit was done all around, and was capable of planning!)
Nuking a China-built Intimidation-island ... is just One possibility for Desperation-Move #2, I wot. 100 Days remains:
a S q u e a k e r, every hour.
New He has said he keeps a copy of Mein Kampf next to his bed
He is not ignorant of the 30s.
New Huh!? ..never heard That. Thanks! ..I think.
It's amazing on first glance, given the dyslexia, other psychoses. Him ..with a BOOK?
it's a rambling narrative, needs a decent vocabulary even to follow ... why wouldn't this just be another Lie? [more red-meat for the Base].

I missed the whole shtik--amidst the '16 unendurable babble-fests :-/
But I see it's Out There: Found *this from 2-29-16 + other refs with slightly varying stories.
Be nice if He were taped copping to the assertion--though his spin would be like circling Black-holes at a million MPH.
* It's not exactly M.K. but a collection of speeches--in this version.

Carrion--cognitive dissonance is another form. But so is sloth.

New As *if* he's ever read a book in 50 years.
New See Scoenye's post below about the dry-run aspect of this
He may not have read a book in years, but he's read that one. His dad and grandfather were KKK, and krauts to boot. He does in fact know what he's doing, and he's got people (Joseph Goebbels I mean Stephen Miller) to do the legwork for him.

As the kids like to say, it's going down.
New Did you see the Wallace interview?
The man is physically broken, and that's after 3.5 years of being the laziest president in living memory.

The 100-day run to the election is going to utterly ruin him. I would not be surprised if he were to withdraw on health grounds/to spend more time with his familymoney/etc. I mean, I don't think he will - the smart money is on him lumbering dat ass over the line, and having to be escorted by the Sgt@arms out of 1600 Penn. Ave. on the 20th of Jan 21, if he doesn't give our Merkin siblings FOUR MORE YEARS of MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
New He's not going to withdraw
and he's going to be willing to do anything to keep the job, because as soon as he's out there are indictments to unseal.
New Alternatively . . .
. . he could get Air Force One fueled up and make a break for Russia.
New That has crossed my mind too!

New Love to See! that escapade.. thence Putin's very first Question:
[by phone, from Kremlin]

Donald ..who?
New Wonder if Snowden will let him couchsurf...
... no Trump Tower in Moscow, after all.
New TBH, the protester are doing it wrong
They need to occupy the courthouse and post armed overwatch sentries targeting the feds. *Then* they would be in the clear.
New Sarcasm?

New Mostly. Remember that other Oregon stand-off?
The occupation of the Malheur wildlife refuge by the Bundy gang

The gang leaders were aqcuitted, the rest received slap on the wrist sentences. One did get killed after he reached for a gun during his arrest and that led to the agent being prosecuted.
New You might notice a (highly visible) difference

New I can think if 2
1. Nice, well organized WASP militia folks out West; mixed rabble in the East (snark)
2. A real President in the White House. (no snark)
New obviously there are no riots or a city out of control pics
like many I see of portland and other places

New And that was the trial balloon
Heimatliche Sicherheit is about to extend their TLC to other cities

Der Donald:
I’m going to do something that I can tell you, because we’re not going to leave New York and Chicago and Philadelphia, Detroit and Baltimore, and all of these — Oakland is a mess. We’re not going to let this happen in our country, all run by liberal Democrats
New Nope, saw a great point online over the weekend
The trial balloon is what they've been doing with CBP/ICE. This is the beginning of the rollout.

New That Is ..quite scarier, for damn-sure :-/
Because [my bias] Fed. COPS do not reflect the Duty-to-the-Constitution as most actual-Military swear to, and even moi still presumes--a majoriy likely, really *Mean it



* Seven Days in May flic.
'Jiggs' has revealed to Prez that a (military-) coup is being formed, using a "Sweepstakes", 'are you betting?'" ploy to communicate.

Prez: So then Jiggs, you go with the Constitution, do you?
Jiggs: {thinks a moment} ~~Well, ..yes Sir.
New Wouldn't put too much money on that bet
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53636098
The US Navy Seals are investigating after footage emerged of military dogs attacking a "stand-in" wearing a Colin Kaepernick shirt at an event last year.

(And the take-over of the Airforce Academy by The Crusaders(tm) has already been mentioned here several time. Can't think the other branches would be much different.)
