Keir Starmer's new legacy deal actually provides immunity to paramilitary leaders, allowing them to escape any accountability for their actions during the Troubles. The UK government has secretly agreed to erase the past and cover up war crimes in exchange for political power.

the current REAL situation in #America

there is NO longer any oversite between the 3 branches of Government
since there are NO longer really 3 branches of Government
Senate / Parliament have NO MORE power
the Judiciary is COMPLETELY POWERLESS

There is only the executive
#Trump and its accomplices, only they "rule"
and DO NOT answer to ANYONE.
(with the support of the various ARMED organizations of the State)
#Police #Paramilitaries #Army)

#US Population now faces Fascism... that's it

The #fascist "tactics" disinformation and hatred
were certainly successful in bringing #Trump to power
(he had a LOT of help too)
but
to stay in power now Trump has as his only tool Violence and repression

Violence and repression always produce a reaction
initially peaceful violent later

For this reason now Trump is creating personal #armies, even #paramilitaries.
He knows that he can only stay in power by violence, not by consent.

What if when #Trump said Americans would not need to #vote anymore it was because there would be no more #governments to elect. #Corporations would just have their own #police forces and #paramilitaries and #private #prisons and they would be responsible for keeping order in society.

"In December 1924, a special investigation threatened to implicate Benito Mussolini, the prime minister of Italy, in the murder of a political opponent. It seemed possible that he could be impeached and arrested.

A month later during an address to parliament, Mussolini in effect took responsibility for the murder—and then declared himself dictator. 'If Fascism has been a criminal association, I am the head of that criminal association,' he shouted.

Mussolini replaced the special prosecutors overseeing the case with loyalists he trusted to whitewash the assassination. He then issued mass pardons, freeing scores of squadristi—members of the paramilitary wing of the National Fascist Party—who would go on to play a decisive role in the consolidation of fascist rule."

Get Ready for Trump’s Jan. 6th Pardons

Here’s what happens when an authoritarian pardons paramilitaries.

The Bulwark

Eight members of a German Nazi group calling itself “Saxon Separatists”have been arrested for plotting to violently seize territory and establish a new, “ethnically cleansed” Nazi state. Seven others are also under investigation; the group is said to have 15-20 members total.

The group, which reportedly organized paramilitary trainings, believes that Germany’s collapse is imminent. They expect that to happen on an undetermined “Day X” (German fascist paramilitaries seem to really love that term), which was going to be their moment to take over.

One of the arrestees was an AfD pol who has been working as the treasurer of the AfD youth org since last month.
