GOP: "Liberals are being paid (to protest against us)!"

Also GOP: "Conservatives are being paid (to cheer us on)!"

Your taxpayer dollars at work,
Going directly to some Nazi.
Eight million a year. And,
No, you can't have health insurance.

What we witnessed was not journalism but the choreography of propaganda.

CBS, in particular, offered thirty uninterrupted minutes of state-sanctioned fantasy,
anchored by a fawning interview with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth,
a man implicated in the killing of more than one hundred people at sea without evidence, accountability, or due process.

Rather than interrogating power, the networks shifted seamlessly into spectacle.

At no point did either network raise the most basic questions of legality, sovereignty, or international law.

Instead, both CBS and NBC trafficked in images of people dancing in the streets, staging public jubilation around what was, in fact,
a spectacularized violation of both international and domestic law.

Repressive imperial power has become visceral and ocular.

It now works through the eye as much as through the gun.

⚠️ State terrorism is no longer merely enforced by violence,
-- it is normalized and taught, rendered legitimate through a form of #pedagogical #terrorism produced and circulated by nearly the entire corporate media apparatus.

⭐️What is taking shape is a new apparatus of colonial terror,
where power, social media, and everyday life collapse into a single machinery of consent,
🔥training the public to see violence as spectacle and domination as normal.

There was no mention that the attack and abduction were #condemned by the presidents of Mexico and Brazil, by international legal scholars, and by a widening circle of global leaders alarmed by the precedent being set.

There was no scrutiny of the #fabricated #claims that Venezuela was plotting an invasion of the United States or serving as the epicenter of drug trafficking,
assertions long discredited but endlessly recycled to justify imperial violence.

Nor, crucially, was there any acknowledgment of Trump’s staggering #hypocrisy:
while declaring a war on drugs in the name of national security, he #pardoned one of the most notorious narcotics traffickers ever prosecuted in the United States, #Juan #Orlando #Hernández, described by prosecutors as a central figure in an eighteen-year operation that flooded the U.S. with more than 400 tons of cocaine

Five years after the deadly attackon the US Capitol, Donald Trump and other Republicans have engaged in a near-complete effort to #rewrite the history of the day and #erase it from the collective American memory.

On his first day in office, Trump #pardoned anyone involved in the attack, a move that affected some 1,500 people.
His administration has #paid $5m to settle a wrongful death lawsuit with the family of Ashli Babbitt, a rioter killed by a Capitol police officer as she attempted to breach doors near the House floor.
Hundreds of other rioters are also seeking millions of dollars in #compensation.
“The pardons issued last January sent a clear message to the American people:
💥political allegiance now matters more than criminal conduct.

But over the past year, we’ve also seen a sustained effort to rewrite the facts of January 6,
as if the historical record could be negotiated away or erased,”
said Gregory Rosen, who led the justice department unit that prosecuted January 6 cases.

“But Americans remember that day for a simple reason:
👉 we watched it happen.
And as long as we remember what it was
– unadulterated #mob #violence
– we can speak honestly about what it means for our democracy and our future.”

During a ceremony in the #WhiteHouse #Trump #pardoned this year's #Thanksgiving #turkeys, Waddle & Gobble.

I wonder how much the turkeys had to pay the #TrumpCrimeFamily for the pardons?
