fascist playbook

Our nation and democracy, generally, has no effective defense when the sacred purpose of a "free press", so enamored by the founders, is outmatched by the "free speech rights" of propagandists.

Our sacred democratic election process has devolved into a crude transactional marketing orgy. It is a ritual of capitalism. It is no longer recognizable as the singularly defining act of self-determination by free people. A victim of limitless "freedom".

This week the doj "sent a letter" to someone who is flagrantly breaking laws in such a way that could manipulate our elections.

The letter advised the recipients that they might be beaking laws (although I strongly suspect the doj knows whether or not laws were broken and if they don't they should not be working in the doj). This letter was no more than free legal advice to the law breakers that they should adapt their attempts to manipulate the elections to appear less illegal.

I expect the doj to react with the full force of their authority to hold law breakers accountable for breaking laws, and to perform their duties in such a way that deters laws from being broken in the first place.

or maybe it was always corrupt and undermined, even on a large scale and we just never recognized it until we attempted to engage within our system of governance.
And when it comes to participating in our single most effective means of self expression via elections, the "Days of Tammany Hall" never really ended. entirely.
However, I am grateful and appreciate vast improvements in accountability with California's elections systems. Not perfect, don't know how it could be, but vastly improved,

Makes me glad I never went to DC for government work, I would be on that list.

for defamation.

I know … makes the whole world blind … but just the same, where’s the list with THEIR names?

and for good measure, (and this just pisses me off even more) it just happens to be a “target” list.

Foisting their own subversive behavior onto those who are upholding the law and democracy.

...befiore the Heritage Foundation is granted its well-earned designation as.a terrorist organization?

We’ve been here before. Repeatedly. After WW2 we had McCarthy and the blacklists. After WW1 we had the Palmer Raids and mass deportations.

For our First Nation people and for African Americans the fascist face of our government has always been part of their experience.

lesson during the DNC about being too up front too soon.

A link from https://www.joemygod.com/2024/10/heritage-group-publishes-hit-list-of-subversive-feds/

Murdoch's Post promotes all things Heritage; he quotes Thomas Jones of the American Accountability Foundation who launched the website and says more will be "added in coming weeks."

Right now this is just a hit list on the US Immigration Service.

Otherwise mediate's link-less article seems like a teaser.

we're stuck with him.

The worst thing though, isn't just that he promotes all Koch network messaging, it's that Charles Koch is still alive and the godfather of both Heritage and Project 2025.

Just a laundering operation so charlie's cloven hoofprints aren't too obvious.

but it is paywalled (I sub to regular Bloomberg but it doesn't cover that site) - https://news.bloomberglaw.com/bloomberg-government-news/trump-deep-state-purge-promise-boosted-by-heritage-funded-list

Sometimes Bloomberg Law News will allow some articles without a paywall.

They mention the "American Accountability Foundation", which has a website here - https://americanaccountabilityfoundation.com/

And here is their "press release" with the "bureaucrat list" - https://americanaccountabilityfoundation.com/blog/2024/10/23/the-biden-harris-bureaucrat-watchlist-goes-live-today/

And that links back to the DHSWatchlist.com page.

Since I have a couple dozen news sites in tabs, each having dozens of links that I scan through all day, this story was well-hidden and didn't really show up on their "main pages" (despite any publication date/time) until late, and when they did, by then they were outside of LBN's 12-hour criteria.

Heritage octopus that eventually wants to take over Washington.

Just because they don’t use bombs and guns doesn’t mean they are not terrorists. They use fear, intimidation and control over others as their terroristic “weapons”.

opperating in the open, funded by billionaires.

Seize their assets.

During the trump administration, for protesting. They did it to the black panthers.
They shot and killed people from both of those groups.

The Heritage Foundation primarily funded by the Kochs have a document of destruction ready to go, with a bunch of Nazis loving Constitution hating plans...people ready and already defending it. Project 2025 is sedition if ever there was a plan and they are already intimidating people in our government with their stochastic terrorism by outing hard working government people with their families. This is not normal.

People protesting and engaging in "civil disobedience" (let alone any provocateurs causing damage to buildings), where there are usually local ordinances that have certain restrictions in place, is one thing.

But purportedly "making lists" violates what law?

And I will say this - because I DEFINITELY "get" the frustration on DU because what is going on behind the scenes (and in more recent cases, right out in the open) is MADNESS, but that doesn't get resolved through insisting on and encouraging literal "vigilantism" and "extra-judicial" remedies.

Wouldn't want them to have to pay taxes while they dismantle our country.

the overwhelming majority of people on this hit list are WOMEN???

Like the Kochs' great grandfather wasn't a immigrant.................and he was Dutch............and then when you go into google to research these hypocrites...........you see this..............

and my all time favorite of hypocrisy ........from the Heritage Foundation..................


Sharing in the American experience

Immigration
Immigration is good. Welcoming immigrants who are motivated to improve their lives and contribute to society will enrich America as their ideas and talents drive progress and improve the lives of others. The Charles Koch Foundation is committed to supporting research and initiatives that illustrate how best to open America to everyone who will make the country better off — and nobody who will take advantage or do harm.

Charles Koch through his "official" mission statements of his foundations, speaks with a forked tongue when his Donors Trust network is full of oligarchs like himself who target anyone not wanting this government to be run like Koch Industries. It's his "Freedom" Caucus that has infected the spineless GOP in the House. Project 2025 is his rosemary's baby slouching toward Bethlehem.

with MAGA loyalists.

They're not even pretending anymore, it's all out in the open.
