It is also the fifth most popular ebook on the site over the last 30 days, having been accessed nearly 60,000 times over the last month (just behind Romeo and Juliet).

    I was expecting something subtle, some sort of resistance from within type stuff.

    Warehouses, barracks, offices, hotels, and factory buildings are outstanding targets for simple sabotage. They are extremely susceptible to damage, especially by fire.

    Not so much.

      Can this be applied to ICE? Where are they staying in your city? Where are they keeping their trucks and gear? Where does it come from? Where is their dispatch? When ICE arrests someone, what’s the logistics chain to get the person away from your city?

        So many countries ended up with fascist autocrats with the help of the CIA. Way before Reagan.

        The CIA was created to protect capital interests while pretending it’s for the American people… They are like the heart of global fascism. Them and the federal reserve banking system.

        The cure was disabling fascism long enough to let it get conquered by not-fascism.

        But that doesn’t work in the USA because we will get conquered by More-Fascism.

          The truth is that the south has perfected the art of double speak and gets away with saying horrid dog whistles for 40+ years and then blushes and puts their finger on their chin and goes “whoooo, meeee?” when it’s called out for what it is in plain English. “I wouldn’t feel responsible if anything happened to Fauchi” while simultaneously calling him evil the devil wicked china virus and then removing a security detail. But because Trump didn’t explicitly say “I hope harm comes to Fauchi and you should get him” it doesn’t count. It’s bullshit and everyone knows it.

          One political party has played by the rules while the other rewrites their language and erodes their purpose and claims that party 1 doesn’t play by the rules enough. Moving goalposts.

          Democrats will always fight over the rules while Republicans are busy changing the game and watching everyone catch up too late.

        Why stop fascists when you can enable them worldwide and locally that helps secure funding and work for you?

        Why would you not want to have more threats to encourage congress to fund your habits and slowly erode the rights of the Americans you claim to defend?

        The CIA started hating fascists due to the war effort but learned they had the same idea just different strategies.

          The CIA wasn’t around for WW2, that was the OSS and that agency was dissolved after the war.

          This is honestly the first time I’m wondering why, exactly, they got rid of it.

            While it wasn’t the CIA, the OSS was basically the WW2’s CIA, and then the OSS set up what became the CIA. The OSS also helped Operation Paperclip go into effect, escorting Nazis into the US Government and its allies.

              Underrated comment. #SwansonWasAPsyop

              Swanson was what libertarians think they come off as, and not what they actually are - Which is a disappointment to all people, always, on either side, of every issue. Keep driving on those publicly funded roads though and using that fire department during everywhere, libertarians. Oh, what’s that, your sovereign cruise ship is overflowing with shit and sinking? Well at least you and the boat didn’t have any contracts between you. Swim free, little buddy. Be sure to refuse that coast guard rescue, don’t let them dictate how (if) you live!

              I hope you survive, so that you can live to purchase your weight in “decentralized” currency, sold by… The government?
