Fascism Is here

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I figure this to be a "must gush" situation for the cult. So get ready for some gushing in awe at this stunning level of criminality.

Has there ever been this much outright corruption?
DonOLD is the champ, by far.

Pentagon puts building blocks in place for Cuba invasion

https://www.politico.com/news/2026/05/2 ... ce=dlvr.it
The Pentagon has spent months positioning the troops and weapons needed for the U.S. to launch a military attack on Cuba — all it needs is a final go-ahead from Donald Trump.

The president has floated an invasion of the island after economic and political pressure failed to topple the Communist government. But the Navy’s built-up presence in the region — the largest in the world outside the Middle East — would allow the U.S. to act immediately.

...

Cuba is “in a lot of trouble,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday at a full Cabinet meeting. “Having a failed state 90 miles from our shores is a threat to the national security of the United States.”

...

But the administration faces a timeline to act. Many of the biggest warships deployed in the summer are approaching 10 months at sea, far beyond the usual six to seven months. This has caused defense officials to worry about overextending crews, and adds to the stress on a naval force that is also conducting a blockade of Iranian ships in the Arabian Gulf.

Those citizens were (nonexistent) terrorists according to Friendly Fire Barbie and Blondage, just like Cuba is a (nonexistent) state sponsor of terror.

US boat strikes killed over 200 people. Service members have questions

... Since the first strike on Sept. 2, scores of legal experts and former military lawyers have characterized the strikes as extrajudicial killings or murders. Members of the military are required by U.S. law to refuse illegal orders.

Dan Maurer, a retired Army lieutenant colonel and former military lawyer, said he hoped the boat strikes would serve as an example for future generations.

"It's going to be a shameful episode in the history of American military operations, and I hope it becomes a case study in what not to do," he said....

Wonder if individual states can prosecute for something?

Florida for littering the beaches? Otherwise, probably not.

Will he pardon thousands of people involved in the boat strikes, and will they really want to be outed by name?

Was thinking of taking off from bases in California or some such. Premeditated crime on state property, were one of the criminaos there? :think: -0-?

DK on #2, that's seemingly a UCMJ thing, were the orders illegal?

I suspect that the military is exempt.

If the attacks are illegal then the orders are illegal and obeying them is illegal.

I don't know much about it, but it seems if the commanding officers gave the orders in a context that could not be easily shown to be illegal (e.g., "there's evil DRUGS and human trafficers on them boats!) then maybe the rank and file wouldn't be liable for following them.

I don't think the rank and file ever is. Only the most sadistic Nazis, for example, and only Lt Calley, but the responsibility is placed on all shoulders and the caution from the 6 rebel congress members applied to the entire services.

It would be nice to see a refusenik so we can test whether they can be punished.

Saw this in a book I'm reading. It's not something most people think about when studying things like the holocaust or fascism, but it's oh so true
There are psychopaths everywhere, all the time. Our quiet suburbs are crawling with pedophiles and maniacs, our homeless shelters are packed with raving megalomaniacs; and some of them do indeed become a problem, they kill two, three, ten, even fifty people—and then the very same State that would without batting an eye send them to war crushes them like a blood-swollen mosquito. These sick men are nothing. But the ordinary men that make up the State—especially in unstable times—now there’s the real danger. The real danger for mankind is me, is you. And if you’re not convinced of this, don’t bother to read any further. You’ll understand nothing and you’ll get angry, with little profit for you or for me. (less)
Atrocities are made possible by good people doing nothing, or just simply not resisting when they're pushed along by the tides of history.

This may already have been posted.



From my understanding: A woman was arrested for being present a protest that involved someone else firing shots at an officer. While in jail she made a phone call to this dude to hide the zines, so that counts as conspiring to hide evidence. The 30 year sentence sounds incredibly steep, no?

From what I've been reading, sentences usually span from a few months to a few years for more serious obstruction of justice cases. 30 years is incredibly unusual.

What has happened to our country?
The lengthy sentence was among the eight harsh terms handed down by judges in two courtrooms in Fort Worth on Tuesday to activists who played roles at or after the July 4, 2025, protest at Prairieland Detention Center. Their sentences — longer than any of those received by members of the January 6, 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol — capped a case that is widely regarded as the Trump administration’s first major victory in its crackdown on left-wing activism.
