Mr. Bezmenov,

I have followed your interviews and writings for years. As a USMC vet and one trained by a former Senator who was head of of aUS Intelligence committee, I have diligently fought against political and social subversion for well over 30 yrs now. But not without a price. I have now been under indictment for 6 yrs with no end in sight for uncovering local officials participating in sex-trafficking, drug proliferation and allowing foreign infiltrations along our border. I hope with the new administration we can finally get some attention on this.

God bless

Under Trump, the war in Gaza resumed. Endless war is American policy, democrat or republican

uhm...to clarify...under Biden, the war in Gaza never stopped. Under Trump we got the first glimpse of hope and the release of some hostages; Hamas resumed hostilities contrary to Trump's pursuit of peace. "Endless war" is clearly NOT current American policy; even Defense Sec. Hegseth is commissioned by Trump to "restore the warrior ethos" and ensure that the military is poised for deterrence to maintain peace yet decisive effective action when compelled to fight--NOT conducive to "endless war." Welcome to America's true nonpartisan policy.

Excellent summary: more department heads and key administration personnel would be wise to produce similar updates of substantive progress.

Can we talk about how we’re deporting people without due process to concentration camps in El Salvador? And not bringing back someone from that prison even though it was admitted to be a mistake and the Supreme Court told the administration to bring him back?

Or all the student visas being revoked for little more than things like traffic violations?

Or the decreased trust in the US abroad and the increase in uncertainty?

Or the negative Q1 GDP growth?

What the hell are we doing guys? If this is what you voted for, holy crap.

It actually isn’t theatrical. We are renditioning people to countries that are not where they are from. With no due process. People with lawyers who were doing. All the right things to become citizens. People with no criminal records.

Deportation also has a process in the US. It is Constitutional

The first concentration camps were not in Germany. Consider that.

History has much to say about what is happening here.

Concentration camps? That’s what I meant by theatrical. But you knew that, didn’t you?

Finding Home with Jude's avatar

I specifically was talking about history - German concentration camps.

We can call the “prison” in El Salvador a prison.

I am fine with that but let’s be honest, it is more like the concentration camps that were used in WWII than a prison.

"the only way out is in a coffin" has been attributed to El Salvador's Justice Minister in reference to the country's new mega-prison.

So we can call it a “mega-prison”

Where we send people who have no criminal records, there is more people than Kilmer Abrego Garcia, who were sent wrongfully without due process

People who were in the process of getting asylum and citizenship and had lawyers working on their behalf. Ppl who just disappeared and didn’t show up for appointments.

Google this:

El Salvador Prison and Concentration Camp memes

You will get to see side by side comparison pics of the two -

And you can decide for yourself how theatrical we are being.

Appreciate the discourse.

The 5th and 14th amendments would be good to review for you!

Regardless of whether they are protected by existing laws, I think these protections ought to be even stronger, for both citizens and non citizens. Rounding people up like animals and shipping them without adequately verifying that they are who the government claims they are to a foreign concentration camps is absolutely horrifying.

Try a little harder to empathize with immigrants here in the US. No one deserves to be treated like this, especially not in the US.

Glitterpuppy's avatar

Well, I have to agree with the spirit of your premise. Invading a country, as I believe, looses a ton of unintended consequences. I’m saying, let’s take of our native born and naturalized citizens first, based on need. Then, let’s establish a true fast track to admit those truly deserving to come in the country. You obviously realize that everybody in the undeveloped world wants to come here, for good reason. You also realize that’s is never going to work.

I feel you on this

I feel the fear of your words

The anger

Who is going to pay! 💰

I hear you. I do

Especially when so many live paycheck to paycheck

Living under the pressure and stress of it

The fear

The debt

Feeling that lack, scarcity and not enough

The thing is, we have enough, collectively

We are abundant

The earth is abundant

We have the resources and technology and innovation to meet all of our needs

Everyone’s

We could do things more sustainably and equitably

But those in power are greedy

And want to use your fear against you

So they can have more

Please take good care of you. Glitter puppy

I mean that sincerely. Take good care ♥️🙏🏻

You like the idea of sending people to foreign concentration camps? Like just in general?

I don’t think we should be sending anyone to concentration camps. Especially when there’s very strong evidence that many sent there didn’t get due process, and there’s likely mistakes being made.

As for being excited about decreased trust, greater uncertainty, and negative GDP growth, I think you’re a dummy if you think any of that can possibly lead to good outcomes for you. Tariffs and uncertainty are both horrible for the economy, and we’ve hardly been affected by the tariffs just yet.

Your take on due process is sorely lacking on facts. Do some research on who gets what, and when. You will be surprised that illegals have little in the way of due process. Literally, it means “ the process you are due to potentially help your cause. Citizens, due process can be vast. “ US Persons” have more due process than visa holders, and border jumpers. It’s a sliding scale, of sorts. Beginning to get the picture? You should be relieved that I have saved you from looking more stupid than you currently look. Just kidding… sorry.

Look Glitterpuppy, if you want your neighbor to be arrested, deported, and sent to a prison camp as bad as that one in El Salvador JUST because they were born south of some arbitrary line that was drawn hundreds of years ago WITHOUT at least getting a trial, I think that’s repulsive.

Of course, citizens have more due process rights. Due process also requires more weighted evidence in a criminal case versus a civil case.

But to be given no due process, assigned prison time as a criminal - is illegal in this country, citizen or not.

Seems you are still relying on mainstream media reports. Administration disputed that Garcia was mistakenly deported. Deportation order was issued in 2019! Investigate his criminal history (and decode his tattoo). Then tell us you still want him back. You also need to do your own research on revoked student visas. "We" are shaking things up. Of course there's going to be "decreased trust abroad." Increase in uncertainty? Ditto. Market volatility? Negative growth? Please fasten your seatbelt. The ride is going to be bumpy.

No one is invading us. People just really want to have better lives. We should let them try.

Trump and Republicans don’t even want to take care of our own. The “Big Beautiful Bill” is going to cut spending on the social safety net and make it harder to get the help you say we should provide.

You don’t even know what you support.

Ewww. This is such divisive speech. Not helpful. Not collaborative. Drag them, that is called force. Power-over. Bullying. It is immature.

America is a melting pot which means we are diverse group of people with diverse lived experiences.

If we want to improve America we need to listen to each person and treat them as sacred.

Doesn’t mean we will all agree or get what we want.

But we can do better. I don’t think anyone thinks our system doesn’t need change. It does.

But calling names or dragging others along - doesn’t make it better. Perhaps there are some good ideas out there…

Language like this isn’t better. It is worse. 💔 and doesn’t lead toward greatness.

This is why I am now independent after a lifetime of being Republican

That's how Fascists do it -- by forcing the people to accept what they dislike. Your ideology is oppressive and strips Americans of their basic rights. This is what this administration is doing. Trump is following the Putin and Orban plans for Dictatorship. Americans won't accept it and you will need to take us kicking, screaming, fighting, and winning.

I’m concerned that we are becoming a police state. Never imagined that here in America.

Consider the quote from Thomas Aquinas, one of the most influential theologian and philosopher of our Western tradition. “Mercy without justice is the mother of dissolution; justice without mercy is cruelty.”

The Biden administration exemplified the first statement. However, the far reaching ICE arrests and deportations of long time immigrants who are contributing to our society, many who have been working a decade or more to finalize their legal status are being arrested and deported without any consideration for their current status. Punishing these offenders who are victims of our broken immigration process which is far from efficient is harsh and cruel.

Deport the 10 plus million who flooded the border under Biden, find the 300,000 children enslaved and trafficked. Arrest and deportations those offenders.

For those who are peaceful, proven to be good citizens with proof they have tried to work within the system, listen to their stories. Show some compassion. Not every immigrant is a criminal.

We don’t need to cleanse the USA of immigrants, we need to value what many are contributing to our society in a positive way. Have a heart, Marco Rubio. I’ve always voted for you and believed in you. Please check your conscience. The world isn’t all black and white.
