The talk about the Reverse Robin Hood bill now before the US Senate is about increasing the national debt and cutting Medicaid just further grant subsidies to the stratospherically rich. Yes, giant problems.

But it also sets up ICE to formally become the American Gestapo.

$167 Billion for the US Gestapo

The giant bill that the Republican party put in Saturday night is very long and and full of a ton of things designed to end democracy and the rule of law and enable fascism. The reason it is so long and was put forward late Saturday night was to conceal

All the talk about the Reverse Robin Hood bill now before the US Senate is about increasing the national debt and cutting Medicaid just further grant subsidies to the stratospherically rich. Yes, giant problems. 

But it also sets up ICE to formally become the American Gestapo. Here's how, why, and what we can do about it.

On 27 June 1938 #USSR #NKVD arrested an #Ukraine born Soviet rocket scientist Sergei Korolev charging him with “espionage”. During interrogations, Korolev was beaten so severely that his jaw was broken. At the same he was actually lucky to survive as his former directors at Reactive Scientific Research Institute (RNII) were executed.

When the World War II started in 1939 with USSR as an ally of Nazi Germany, Korolev was breaking rocks in deadly GULag gold mines in Kolyma. But then, when Germany attacked USSR in 1941, Soviet authorities suddenly recalled they have such a valuable resource and pulled Korolev out of the camp.

For a few years Korolev was then working in secret prison-likes research institutes (sharashka), developing rocket weapons for the Red Army. He was eventually pardoned and rehabilitated in 1945 and after Nazi surrender even went to Germany as part of the secret Soviet missions to scavenge advanced technologies and capture any remaining German scientists before Americans do.

Today Russian media happily boast about “the Russian genius Korolev”, conveniently skipping the part that he was born in Ukraine and survived their own Russian camps only by miracle. Oh, and they also routinely accuse USA of “recruiting Nazis” after WW2 while conveniently skipping the part where well over 2000 Nazi scientists were captured and worked for USSR developing their rocket program in the following years…

@alexandrainen.bsky.social this is a horrible story, and from earlier years the #okhrana / #nkvd / #kgb /#fsb we know a lot of innocent people will suffer due of the leaderships paranoia and the ingrown sadistic cruelty of the employees of the agency.

#Russia Taganrog - on the latest wave of rewriting history a memorial plaque dedicated to the victims of local #NKVD was replaced with one praising the executioners.
