#US Manufactured Crimes and Spied on Peaceful #Protesters During #Minneapolis Metro Surge, New Court Filing Reveals
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, August 14, 2026
MINNEAPOLIS -- "While #Dakotas were praying at a #SacredSpring for those held in federal detention at the #WhippleBuilding in Minneapolis -- the U.S. government was spying on, and stalking, the #WhippleWatchers, a new court document reveals.
"The government is refusing to release all of its documents on its surveillance of those watching the Whipple building. The Whipple building is on the site of a former concentration camp, where Dakota and Ho Chunk were imprisoned, suffered and died.
" 'The government admits withholding at least five #ProjectWhippleShield #ROIs (Reports of Investigation) from the initial disclosures,' the court filing states.
"In the current case, the court document for discovery filed yesterday describes how the U.S. government spied on and tracked peaceful protesters during the #resistance to #OperationMetroSurge.
"Not only were peaceful protesters spied on, #stalked and #doxxed, but the #surveillance was carried out to #ManufactureCrimes when none existed, states the court document filed by a defense attorney for one of the government's targets."

Naval Ravikant is considered a philosopher and guru by the techbros. Masses of people in tech admire him. They even compiled his various tweets into a book named "The Almanack of Naval Ravikant". So whatever he says has weight.
Here he says he doesn't believe in pure (aka direct) democracy, meaning that people can vote for or against law proposals themselves (as they do, for example, in Switzerland) rather than electing representatives who then vote for or against laws for them (hopefully in their interests). It takes just one charismatic person, he implies, to inflame a significant mass of people and turn them into a mob that helps this one charismatic person have their preference become the majority's preference.
I've never heard that happening in Switzerland or other places of direct democracy, this "rule of the mob". But it sounds a lot like what Ravikant's friends Donald Trump were doing on Jan 6 with the storming of the Capitol, or Elon Musk with his acquisition of Twitter.
He then implies that a direct democracy like they have in Switzerland would eventually "collapse" into #communism (derogative) or "tyranny" by which I assume he means anarchism which he implies to mean the "law of the jungle", everyone against everyone, until some violent "butcher king" emerges.
I haven't heard that Switzerland is in "danger" of becoming a communist country.
Don't confuse communism with Stalinism. Communism simply means a society without a state. Neighbors take care of one another, rather than relying on the state for welfare. Everyone can get what they need without having to pay for it, simply by working whatever it is they learned. And if they already vote for their laws themselves, then why not also make it that the factories belong to everyone, rather than to single factory owners? Yet I don't see that to happen to Switzerland.
The Republic as in ancient Rome however means that a bunch of aristocrats (senators) effectively rule, and pick a king from their midst every few years. An oligarchy basically. Sounds like what we already have. He then espouses that takes a "rare genius", like Musk or even himself.
"Strong defenses for property rights" basically mean a police state. See Filton 4 or Ulm 5.
#Capitalism is #fascism.
ICE plans to spend $20 million tax payer dollars to give gloves that deliver electric shocks to their agents.
They’ve murdered three US citizens.
They’ve killed countless immigrants.
They’ve used excessive force to demean, terrorize, disable & harm.
They’ve traumatized entire cities.
They’ve forced people to hide in their homes for fear of being rounded up and disappeared.
They don’t need gloves that can deliver electric shocks, they need to be abolished and prosecuted.
They need to be stopped.

#Media, if you've been holding off, you can call these people Nazis now.
“If Democrats hold back from [Supreme Court] reform for the sake of maintaining norms, they will be maintaining something that no longer serves its purpose.”
Because
“you cannot restore norms if the other side is not also interested in doing so, and there is every indication that Republicans will continue their pattern of bad behavior.”

THIS!
"PUBLIC OFFICIALS have no expectation of privacy while doing their jobs. PRIVATE CITIZEN have every expectation of privacy."
BUT also: document ALL#perpetrators! There is no right for privacy for ANY perpetrator.
This is a massive win. If we can prevent fascist voter suppression and intimidation from happening, we stand a chance of turning things around in a few months.
“The bill failed with only 52 Republicans voting for it, well short of the 60-vote threshold needed…Some Republicans wanted the Senate to bypass recess until the SAVE America Act was passed, but there wasn’t enough support among their party for that either.”
To be clear, I believe that voting is a very small part of fighting fascism. But it is still one of the tools. If the system isn’t compromised, it adds great value.
“Jews are execrable insects with parasite-hijacked brains.”

Zionism is antisemitic and always has been antisemitic.
To conflate antizionism with antisemitism is, itself, antisemitic.
Zionism is fascism.
Antizionism is antifascism.

“Rebranding rebellion is nothing new. Americans take it for granted that the war between the Confederate states and the Union was always called the Civil War, but it was not. During the war and in its aftermath, it was primarily called an “insurrection” or a “rebellion.” Its current name is a result of decades of lobbying by Confederate heritage groups and white Southerners committed to rejuvenating the South’s image and ignoring its treason and slaveholding.
As Mr. Trump and his allies try to whitewash the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, we should return to an older and far more accurate name for the Civil War. We should once again call it the Slaveholders’ Rebellion. If a country unquestioningly adopts language that obscures its bloodiest crimes to absolve their worst perpetrators, how can we expect successive generations to remember the new assaults on democracy without deploying equally forgiving language?”
How many genuine "ex-nazis" have people on here known?

The phrase of the day in the mainstream news media appears to be "center-left". Are you a democratic politician who takes lots of money from AIPAC and loyally votes to send billions of tax dollars to Israel to murder Palestinian children? Congratulations, you're "center-left"!
Do you collect tons of cash from the military industrial complex and vote for every war and military bill possible? Nice to meet a center-left patriot!
Have you been proud to raise your hand and vote to fund ICE and the DHS? You center-left types are SO attractive!
Did you seize control of Germany and start World War II? You may be center-left!
Seriously, it's like someone just sent out an email or something and ordered the media to call every right-wing Democrat "center-left". It's creepy!

#Trump claimed he would 'bring free speech back” [but seriously, let’s be real, it was always his version of #FreeSpeech] - yet Judges have ruled in 75 cases that he has stifled the #FirstAmendment .

cruelty is the point of #fascism. #ai is the automation of cruelty.
The use of AI in UK asylum decision-making is a disaster.
AI hallucinated a document that led to an asylum application being denied.
Applicants aren't being informed that opaque AI tools are being used in their case, nor being given the opportunity to correct errors churned out by these opaque tools.

So Trump has used up so many interceptors and other ammunition that it will take at least four years and 1.5 trillion dollars (perhaps much more) to replace them.
The US has been bullying the rest of the world for decades, in part based on a vastly overstated reputation for military power and prowess.
The bully has just been shown to have a glass jaw. What will the rest of the world do now?

SCMP: Fake ICE raids and kidnapping drills: how Chinese teens prepare for US college
As Trump’s toughening rules spark anxiety, Chinese parents pay for camps teaching how to survive being seized by gunmen or ‘hidden dangers’
"...The intruder blindfolded Lu, tied her hands and finally made her record a phone message for her parents – begging them to pay a ransom.
Except the scenario was not real.
It was just an instructor at a private summer camp, training Lu how to handle a kidnapping in case it happened for real when she started school in the US in two months...."
As soon as the fascists were in control of the government, the torturings and the killings were no longer the unlawful acts of a political party and its hoodlum gangs. They became official government policy.
