    First they came for the Communists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Communist

    Then they came for the Socialists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Socialist

    Then they came for the trade unionists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a trade unionist

    Then they came for the Jews
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Jew

    Then they came for me
    And there was no one left
    To speak out for me


    Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Kommunist.

    Als sie die Gewerkschafter holten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter.

    Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat.

    Als sie die Juden einsperrten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Jude.

    Als sie mich holten, gab es keinen mehr, der protestieren konnte

    Unfortunately, Matt Drudge, of all people, projected this months ago that this was going to happen and spoke out against it.

    Are Juggalos still considered a gang? These lists are just wish lists for targeting people they find taboo.

      It’s not even about who they find to be taboo. Remember George Santos? They loved him, just like Thiel, Yarvin. It’s who they can rile up those who are suspicious, hateful, and afraid of people who aren’t just like themselves.

    All trans people in some sort of coordinated trans army?? FFS. Please. I’m not saying the fascist united snakes won’t persecute trans people (they are and will) but this is some epic bullshit. Level ten on the Richter scale bullshit.

    This is just so obvious, isn’t it?

    The only people who support this or think it’s normal, are people at the bottom of the bell curve. The extremely unintelligent, uneducated, deeply indoctrinated.

    You’ve got to be borderline mentally handicapped to not see this as nonsense.

    Because every trans person I’ve ever met isn’t just trying to make it through the day like the rest of us and are causing all kinds of violence and social unrest.

    These chucklefucks sure like their boogeymen to rile people up.

    Maybe they should look into these gravy seals/meal team 6 folks with their tacticool gear larping as military badasses if they wanna find actual problem groups.

        One thing that would change is Trumps ability to deny that he was part of it. In 2005, Epstein came under investigation after the parents of a 14 year old girl made a complaint against him. The investigation uncovered multiple victims, and it was recommended by the police.

        In 2006, the state grand jury only indicted Epstein on one single count of solicitation, and it doesnt even specify that the girl was under 18. Palm Beach police chief went public because it was bullshit. They had found evidence of four felony charges including unlawful sexual activity with a minor. Lewd and lascivious molestation and sexual assault. The FBI came in at this point and did its own investigation.

        In 2007, the FBI finds evidence of wider criminal activity involving the trafficking of minors. Finding dozens of victims. At this point his lawyers, Alan Dershowitz and later Kenneth Starr, negotiate a plea deal with Alex Acosta. This deal promised that Epstein would not face federal charges if he pleaded guilty to reduced state charges. The agreement was then kept a secret.

        In 2008 he plead guilty to Solicitation, and solicitation of a minor. He was sentenced to 18 months, but served only 13. And worse, he allowed work release, meaning he was out for 12 hours a day, 6 days a week for those 13 months.

        Now, this is bit thats important. The plea deal is “the list”. Because what Epstein got wasnt just immunity for himself, it was also for his co conspirators. That means that the FBI investigation found out who he was working with/for. And Trumps name, will be in there. This is the same deal that Maxwell was talking about last month or the month before when she was looking to get released.

        The FBI case found dozens of victims, all under age. Which could have got him a life sentence if Federal prison. But for some reason, he only got 13 months. The victims were never told of the deal, which violated the CVRA(Crime Victims Rights Act) that REQUIRES prosecutors to inform victims of plea deals.

        The wording of the plea deal regarding co conspirators was left vague, with the word “potential” doing a lot of the heavy lifting to get around naming them. However, we know at least some of those names include Maxwell, Sarah Kellen(Kensington), Nadia Marcinkova, Lesley Groff, and Adrian Ross. Jean-Luc Brunel was accused, but never charged. He killed himself in France in 2022 while awaiting trial… The statute of limitations also appears to have played a part in shielding other associates. But the point is, the FBI did the work. What they found is still written down somewhere. They know who is who. And its interesting that a lot of people connected to Epstein, are now working for or had worked for Trump during his first and second terms. Alex Acosta and Howard Lutnick for example…

        The files, of which there must be many, will detail Trumps involvement. And then we cant finally get rid of the cunt. But more than that, we can start to go after all the others in power wherever they may be and whoever they may be.

          for the ground: All these details for citability for prosecutability. Full public humiliation and stripping of power.

          Tools to fight with.

    The group defines “TIVE” as “the belief that violence is justified against people who oppose [the trans community],” as well as the belief that opposing trans rights “itself constitutes a form of violence towards people who identify as [trans or gender nonconforming]… or poses an imminent threat to such persons’ emotional, psychological, or physical safety, including through self-harm or suicide.”

    What an insane redefinition of “self defense.” Violence isn’t justified…unless you are being targeted, harmed, or killed, which many trans or NB people are. It’s absurd to preemptively label self defense as “violence.” It’s cart-before-horse, intentional PR spin to dehumanize a subset of human people. One species, all human.

    The administration will need scapegoats when its policies fail. They’ve laid this ground work for years now. They want justification for violence through violence themselves in this mental gymnastics.

    It’s the Heritage Foundation, which might as well be called “Propaganda Hut.” Let me guess: more divisive, American-dividing ideas? Yes, Heritage, let’s keep pushing tribal behavior to encourage class war while the rich destroy the planet and their fellow humans.

      Just imagine for a moment that one were to replace “trans” with literally any other grouping of humanity and think how insane it would sound.

      “I’m not a bigot, I’m just opposed to black rights!”

      “I’m not an anti-semite, I’m just opposed to Jewish rights!”

      “I’m not committing a genocide, I’m just opposed to human rights!”

      Christ, the veneer of legitimacy is molecule-thin at this point.
