Recommend this primarily for the interview with Ruth Ben-Ghiat, which is introduced about 1/4 of the way down.

Is it too late? Fascism expert explains the next moves from Trump’s ‘authoritarian playbook’

What that thing really means is 'Here's a nice piece of cognitive bias to help you go along with cuts to my friend's taxes.'

Anybody got a link to the story about Eric Prince supplying the unknown camo cops of Portland.

This is all I have been able to find.


""Jeh Johnson confirmed on MSNBC that DHS 'cops' are 'contractors.' They are mercenaries supplied by Erik Prince, brother of DeVos.""

There's absolutely no doubt this is happening.

FPS spends more than $1 billion a year on these contract security guards who are authorized to conduct crowd control at federal properties, such as those in Portland. And, based on available photographic and document evidence, it appears those private contractors are now part of the federal force arrayed in Portland and are likely to be part of the federal response President* Trump has promised to stand up in multiple other cities, including Chicago, Detroit, New York, Philadelphia and other urban centers led by Democratic mayors across the country.

Riddle me this; why are the 'soldiers' they hire all the same size ? None are taller than average, they range from 5'7"" to 5'10". All near the ideal body weight for their height.

What's the criteria for being hired?

Maybe being average helps protect their identities ?
