But what have we actually seen? In these mass deportations and certainly in these public disappears, what we've seen is something that's eerily similar to the early stages of the Third Reich. During that era, the leadership of the time had identified certain groups that were. Designated as degenerates and criminals that should be rounded up and disappeared. And after those decrees, you had the private citizenry [00:01:00] ratting out their neighbors as well as brown shirts patrolling the streets and disappearing anybody that they thought was a threat to the administration.
When we fast forward to today. What are we seeing? We're seeing bounties being placed for the identification and reporting of quote unquote illegal migrants, and we're also seeing snitch patrols show up and identify their friends and neighbors for targeting. On top of that, what we're seeing now. We've seen this over the last couple of weeks, are people who are legally residing in the US being rounded up and thrown into vans and disappeared.
ody knows their whereabouts. [:So is that what we're doing now? Are we the country that is mass disappearing people to the point where a tracker has been set up and you can track where people have been disappeared to or where people are being disappeared from. That's what we're doing. And while some folks might say it's no big deal, they shouldn't have been here in the first place.

It's against the [:And the fact of the matter is that the vast majority of these people that have been shipped off, they haven't had any court cases, they haven't had an opportunity to understand their charges, they haven't had representation. They're being rounded up and shipped off to a foreign country. Make no mistake about it is that act in and of itself is a war crime.

We have reports of a father of three who's been shipped off to El Salvador, and the administration has admitted that they made a mistake and when told that they need to fix it, they shrugged their shoulders and said it's out of our hands now.
arly stages of what we saw in:This is the testing [00:05:00] phase to see what are the boundaries that we are willing to tolerate. This should be a line in the sand. We are not the type of society that disappears people. Apparently 77 million people seem to think it's no big deal. They're gonna be singing a different tune when this happens to them because it is coming for you.
Because the first step in all of this is to remove the undesirables. And once those people are removed, anybody else that isn't in the inner circle becomes a target as well. So you may think you have safety because you're a citizen or a legal resident. That's obviously being proven wrong as we speak, but it won't be long before this is coming for you as well.
So you need to decide when you want to take your stand because the longer you wait, the worse the outcomes are gonna be.
