As that regime gained more and more power, you saw the role shift a little bit, and you saw the SA, the brownshirts, get redefined or redeployed. Eventually, They lost their influence to the SS, which [00:02:00] became the dominant force in German enforcement and surveillance during that time.
And that force, in particular, were selected based on their racial and ideological purity, as well as their willingness to Have blind and fanatical obedience to the dictator in charge. Does that ring a bell? They were primarily used as a terror and enforcement arm designed to keep opposition subdued and under control.
So if you're seeing and recognizing some of the. Parallels between how that paramilitary force in the German world war two context was brought forward or constructed and deployed to what we're seeing today with certain uses for ice and other events, you're on the right track.
d be the things that I would [:And what's interesting about that pardon is that it. Completely obliterates one of the narratives that's been common within right wing circles, which was the whole J6 event was a cooked up deep state plot that combined the deep state, the FBI, probably aliens and Antifa. That was the story. Well, if that was the case, why were all of these people pardoned?
ho assaulted police officers [:That is stunning, isn't it? And these so called patriots are the ones that are cheering. But what does the release and pardon of these 1, 500 domestic terrorists signal? A lot of these people are members of the proud boys, members of oath keepers. There are probably some Patriot front people that are in there as well.
And what this signals to their collaborators and fellow traders in and around the U S is that it's open season for them to do whatever they want. So this sets up the. Foundation for the creation of a private domestic military or paramilitary force obedient and loyal only to the felon in chief.
ne piece of the puzzle. What [:You saw it in Charlottesville. You saw it with his comments about plenty of good people on both sides. You saw it in his administration where national security threats from domestic terrorism were brought up to his attention. And then he refused to enforce or act on any of those threats that involved white nationalist groups. And that's because white nationalist groups and. Allies of white nationalist groups represent a big segment of his base.
nal of things to come? Well, [:And this was a neo Nazi who plotted a mass extermination event has now been set free. And he's on home confinement and he was put in jail for threatening journalists, he's been linked to at least one murder, this is not a good person, and he was trying to incite a race war, and once the home confinement piece of his sentence He's in the wind and he can go back to doing what he was doing before.
factions. And this would be [:We're seeing the early stages of this militarization of domestic. Formal domestic and informal domestic paramilitary forces with ice enforcement raids and all of that sort of stuff. When you see that escalate, all it takes is a little bit of pushback and you'll see the mobilization of these white nationalist groups to lend additional support. And that becomes a critical piece of the puzzle or critical stage in where we're going to go from day one of this regime. Into the future, because if we don't forcefully stand up and push back against that militarization and those attacks against the most vulnerable, we're in for some very dark times.
is worth pointing out is the [:And asked ourselves the question, how could the German [00:09:00] people allow all of that to happen?
Well, the reason they allowed all of that to happen is because none of them had the courage to stand up and speak out in mass As this was rising and we are still at that stage where It isn't a foregone conclusion that the outcomes that we're driving to are going to be the same outcomes that the dictatorial regime in world war ii era germany drove to Right now, everybody is talking about mass deportation, and that was the same language that was used in that era of Germany, and when it was discovered that mass deportations were inconvenient, what happened next?
There were work camps and concentration camps that came up afterwards, and what do you see today? You see those being built all across the southern states, you see the increased construction of private prisons. And that all provides free labor for the billionaire class.
And the way that we had this [:
