THE MAD FUHRER OF MAR-A-LAGO'S SECRET POLICE AND THEIR ABDUCTIONS OF PROTESTORS- SOME THOUGHTS

Like most of you I was shocked by footage of Federal troops grabbing protestors in Portland, Oregon  without identifying themselves and pushing them into unmarked vans. While reports from those to the destination these"federal forces" took them to the moment they asked for a lawyer, this excessive response calls to mind secret police in military dictatorships rather than a country that's supposed ot be a democracy.  When added reports of such troops being in Columbus, Ohio and some suspected of being in the Kansas City area one has to wonder what this is for. Especially when its revealed that neither the city of Portland nor the state of Oregon asked for nor wanted them there (they reportedly aren't working with local law enforcement). So, why is the Mad Fuhrer of Mar-A-Lago doing this?

 Many think it's an election stunt. Given Donny's falling approval rating, especially among white people in the suburbs (who are pissed over how he's fucked up the CoVID-19 response) his minions may feel that playing into the racism many white folks (NOT ALL OF THEM HAVE THIS, BUT ENOUGH TO BE A PROBLEM) may have. While this could potentially work, it's a risky maneuver as these sort of events also can backfire and bring even more people into the movement (with sympathizers taking to the streets as well, like what happened in Portland).  So, could this be the Mad Fuhrer and his minion's attempt to look strong to voters?  Maybe, but it could be him looking tough and unbeatable to his fan base, who are already on board with the racism and hatred but have some delusion of feeling put upon and oppressed over things ranging from being called out on their crap on social media to being asked to wear a mask to help combat the COVID.

I think, in a way, the latter may be more important to electoral vote winner Donny than the former, despite his weird desire to be adored while doing everything he can to provoke the opposite response.  It's also a great diversion to take the corporate owned mainstream media off the trail from his COVID-19 response or, as Democracy Now reports, his continuation fo the drone war in Yemen.

In a weird way, this action has proved telling,.  Not that he gave the order (he had hinted at that before and, when combined with the ICE raids of the past few years, is nauseating but not surprising), but in one telling thing that happened.

Mainly, where are the people on the right who like to blather on about the second amendment and how its needed to fight government tyranny and abuse of power?

We've seen them storm state houses armed and scream int he face of cops when it comes to lockdowns over the pandemic and we;ve seen them be keybaord warriors on the topic but when there's an actual instance of government abuse of its people and we hear nothing from them.

I"m not the first to bring that up and I"m sure I won't be the last but it's something to think about. 

Apparently the Mad Fuhrer of Mar-A-Lago's minions claim they'll have plans regarding Chicago this week. If it grows to other cities will  they join the protestors or was their talk of liberty and fighting tyranny really talk and that they're okay with oppression if it happens to those they disagree with.

Personally, I hope this shit stops soon and that this garbage doesn't end up elsewhere. There's enough for the government to deal with without these stunts.  But, who knows?  For now we know that the protests in Portland actually got stronger rather than dissipate so time will tell how Donny's and company's abductions have any effect except for adding more people wanting police reform, if not abolition.
