Immigration Nation
The new Netflix series that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tried to legally block.
Although Clusiau and Schwartz make liberal use of text slates for statistics, Immigration Nation is mostly devoid of other context and narration. Instead, interview subjects of all kinds recount their personal experience with Trump’s ever-changing tactics to deport undocumented immigrants and deny entrance to asylum seekers. There are the emotional narratives viewers will likely already be familiar with, namely those of parents separated from their children at the border, families mourning the deaths of loved ones who attempted journeys to the U.S., and individuals sent back to countries where they will face certain peril. Tragically, these accounts aren’t what stand out.
Instead, it is the perspective of the enforcers that are the most damning. Those who acknowledge the inherent flaws in the system while insisting they’re just “doing what they’re told” and “following the law” make up the majority of sentiments in every episode — a consistent passing of the buck not even Clusiau and Schwartz’s thousands of hours of footage could find an end to. As one man claims through embarrassed mumbling, “It’s not personal, it’s business.”
‘Tell my kids I love them. I’m dead.’ -George Floyd
The Daily Mail has the bodycam footage.
“I’ll probably just die this way. I’m through,” Floyd says.
Who Killed Bond Yields?
Central Banks of course.
“In lieu of common sense, however, the guilty will use a whole lot of those impressive sounding words to obfuscate instead of argument, while very much counting otherwise on the favorable rulings of the judge (politicians) who lets this charade go on and on because the judge also knows that if the truth ever got out they’d be right there in the defendant’s chair with the central bankers.”
Why do we continue to let central bankers evaluate their own job performance? It's letting putting the most dishonest and heinous criminal in the jury box alone by himself to inappropriately render what truly is a momentous, incredibly crucial verdict.https://t.co/SdX4Urcuwz pic.twitter.com/AMB3NNEfl8

Who Becomes a Cop?
If a major police mission is to catch us in forbidden consensual transactions, you may not like the kind of people who become cops.
No One Has Ever Voted Their Way to Liberty
It’s amazing how many humans believe that they are so much
more evolved than animals. We look upon traps that are laid for
seemingly intelligent creatures and shake our heads at how they
can fall for them. When will they learn?!
These are the same people that fall into the same trap year after
year, election cycle after election cycle. Trump ran on a policy of
limited foreign intervention, basically only if he had to. Do you
remember watching those rockets being launched against Syria
not three months into his presidency? A great question someone
snarkily asked afterwards was, “Did you really think you could
vote away the Military Industrial Complex?”
No one who has been elected to office has ever rolled back
government. There is no change. Voting is the literal definition of
insanity, “Doing the same thing over and over expecting a
different result.”
Do what you will, but expecting change because you pull a lever
or touch a screen, is no better than belief in the tooth fairy.
Oh, the Irony!
People on the big-government left who are distraught over the condition of black lives in America are logically committed to opposing the police and teachers unions — whether or not they realize it. That is because the first indispensable steps in the direction of justice and decency lie in changing the poisonous dynamic between cops and communities on the one hand and bringing competition, entrepreneurship, and parental choice to education on the other. The police and teachers unions, which make it exceedingly hard to fire bad cops and bad teachers, inevitably oppose changing those practices or supporting those key reforms out of sheer institutional self-preservation.
Thus activists, who typically sympathize with government-employee unions, are in fundamental conflict with two of the most powerful government-employee unions in America, again, whether or not those activists get it.
Someone’s in for a rude awakening.
