Bodycams “don’t work” in all such cases.

The Breona Taylor case had the officers claim that there weren’t any bodycams present, but 1 of the pieces of evidence collected was the camera-head of a bodycam.

The ACLU has published on this, after a case where FIVE bodycams were claimed by police to not-work, in an incident where they were accused of crime.

Accountability never is allowed by authority, unless authority is coerced into accountability,

& that goes throughout ALL civilization, not just state-authority ( business bosses, institutions which mutilate rights from the lives subject to them, family-abuse even! it’s fundamental to abuse’s leveraging-more-authority-for-itself, & police-services simply happens to be 1 place where people committed to it gain extra-advantage from doing-so. )

You CAN’T “prove wrong” ideology/prejudice/“religion”,

aka any AXIOM-BASED rejecting-of-falsification, belief.

It isn’t possible because axioms aren’t subject-to-objectivity.

They will either force violence, enforce violence, XOR/AND have false-flag actors in-place to “prove” their “fact”.

It is a trap.

Civil-rights are going to get at-least-partially rug-pulled as a result of Saturday’s protests.

IF Trump can permanently-remove any threat of accountability, & permanently-deactivate the petition to get the Epstien-files released, HE IS GOING TO.

Social-assertion isn’t fundamental-enough, or powerful-enough to do what the left is assuming it must do!

( the left obeys social-pressure: that’s left-culture!

Which means that the left can’t understand when others don’t.

That is why Naomi Klien had to publish “Saying No Isn’t Enough” … or whatever her book was called … because the left wasn’t GETTING it.

Courts, sousveillance, private-investigating-and-prosecuting-right-crime, THAT could apply the kind of pressure required, but social-pressure’s the wrong too to produce the required-results.

It’s a 1-way tool: it only works against the consensus-motivated left, not against the authority-and-conforming-enforcing right. )

sigh

Expect the left to find the “ground” they’re “standing on” to have been gutted, by next week.

& the escalations will only continue progressing: this isn’t the BIG tipping-point, this is just one of the buildup ones.

( this was all built on the shit-quality “education” that the US’s the-rich-get-good-education-the-poor-don’t paradigm enforced, through the last … century+.

It isn’t possible to save a country’s life if its population is “educated” into the lower-forebrain’s imprint->reaction paradigm, instead of the upper-forebrain’s objectivity + considered-reasoning paradigm:

the only question left is which ideology will gain supremacism,

They will not be having any legal civil-rights, shortly.

China announced their intent to cease exports of rare-earths at least a decade before they began implimenting it, from what I’ve read…

The West refuses to govern responsibly in the context it exists/lives, & wants crybaby-ing to fix things when China does exactly what it TOLD US it would do, decades-ago??

The US has rare-earth mineral-resources, they just refused to develop them, until too-late.

Mismanagement deserves consequences.

I’ve ZERO sympathy for pretend-responsibility authorities.

May they reap what they have sown, to use the Christian phrase.

So, either “The Insurrection Act”, or martial-law, or SOME escalation of the rug-pull of civil-rights from the US of A is going to happen this Saturday, I believe.

& I bet the left’s protesters will be emotionally/psychologically totally blindsided by how deep/cutting/effective it is, since they presume entitlement to status-quo’s protection ( unconsciously: we all do this, but by forcing one’s awareness onto the actual-enemy-action, getting outside one’s filter-bubble/awareness-bubble/perspective-bubble, can mitigate that default-ignorance. It takes work, it is kinda toxic, but being repeatedly-blindsided isn’t competent. )

Nobody claim, if it happens, that “it was unforseeable”.

THIS is why you DON’T permit the politically-motivated to make districting decisions.

That’s what I can’t understand:

Isn’t there a law that slavery isn’t legal, in the US of A?

Isn’t mandatory unpaid job-work … slavery?

WTF’s wrong with the idiotic laws they’ve had all these years?

You HAVE TO have a law prohibiting slavery, in any guise!

This doesn’t compute, for me…

The anti-integrity of a legal-regime which protects such abuse … can’t compute.

You hit it spot-on.

There was a “Yes, Minister!” episode on this principle:

The new minister was having a driver, driving him to wherever, so he could use the time as office-time, in the back…

They shamed him into quitting that, & he became significantly less-effective, which was what the attack had intended.

IF the people are being productive in the air, then I’d put them in a set of gov’t-owned aircraft, secret-clearance all the way through, so they could do real work, while on the job.

However, I’d also force them to use normal-airlines when going 'round for their vacations, so they get actual commercial-airline experience, so they know what they’re representees are experiencing.

Sometimes the right answer is to convert travel-time into work-time, & if you can’t do that on a public flight, then yes, private-aircraft are the means, but it ought be gov’t owned, not personally-owned or chartered.

It must serve the country, not the privileged, see?

The most-important 2 books on understanding US politics, is Woodard’s “American Nations”, on the 11 nations inhabiting North America, & how they are stable, once instantiated,

& Thom Hartmann’s “Screwed”, on what real national-prosperity is ( I’ve only read the beginning of that, & it’s the 1st-time I’ve understood what’s wrong with normal “economics”, as presented by everybody else ).

IF one looks carefully, as Woodard did, one can see that the votes follow specific counties that are culturally-aligned, in these 11 nations.

It isn’t “all boomers”, rather, it is in the Tidewater region, votes went this-way, in the New York region, votes went that way, in Yankeedom, they went this other way, etc…

The book “The Big Sort” is on how polarization is self-creating the ultimate only-political-monocultures US of A.

That, of course, is going to make the US’s Civil War Part2 be … more territorial in its ideological-basis, … ( & that has implications, too ), but … it’s still down to regional-cultures defining/controlling the US’s fate.

Woodard’s book is sooo important, that I wouldn’t consider moving anywhere in North America without seeing which culture was ruling that county, now.

From what I saw, through the stuff on the internet, the White-supremacists were solidly Trump, the male-supremacists were solidly Trump, AND Trump used a voter-deregistration law, through some local Republicans, to remove Democrats from voting-rolls, in key swing-states.

AND many Democrats refused to vote.

When all 4 of those come together, then you have the real basis for the result that happened.

sigh … yet-again, journalism got disappeared off the internet, in order to prevent any accountability or leverage-causing-necessary-change…

Neither DuckDuckGo nor Google can find the journalism I’d read about that voter-deregistration having already been used as a partisan weapon, with the obvious consequence that it can be used again to immense effect, in 2026 & 2028.

Welcome to the for-profit-only “reality” we live-in…

( I’m going to be saving offline-copies of all such journalism, from now on, because of this bullshit.

Without knowing history, it isn’t possible to be competent to avoid re-enacting it!

This ISN’T it, but it gives some similar information: https://newrepublic.com/article/199247/transcript-trump-lets-slip-dark-truth-plot-rig-midterms )

People can downvote this all they want, but this is actually true, and maybe you remember Trump’s former-lawyer, Cohen, saying that he likes to do things the way mafia-bosses do, so his saying something like “it would be good if < someone > were to get permanently harmed” … & then have his lackies/flunkies ( don’t know which is which ) just do it, so that he never can be made-accountable for anything…

Yes, I expect a wave of murders to happen to opponents-of-Trump, within months or weeks…

The tipping-point is going to be crossed.

Yes, that kind of “dealing with” opponents is on the table.

People are too naive about what’s going-on, making-believing that status-quo will continue forever, & they’ve got forever to undo what Project2025’s doing…

It isn’t about ruling the US of A for a 4-year term, it is about DESTROYING anybody’s ability to interfere with Republican dictatorship, until everbody’s dead.

Different “game”, different rules.

As a ninja explained, in the book “Kenjutsu”, IF you’re trained to presume that your opponent will protect their life,

& they make a cut at you,

THEN you automatically make a cut at them, knowing that they’re going to divert their cut, to block yours, to save their life.

BUT … if they don’t care if they die, then … they don’t divert their cut, to block: then you die, right then ( they do too, but they took you out, because you were relying-on leverage that you didn’t actually have )

Countries make the same mistake.

The US is making that mistake, now.

Fatally.

Since nobody here explained what TF “aura farming” is, here’s what DuckDuckGo’s AI told me:

“Aura farming is a social media trend where individuals intentionally project a cool or impressive persona to gain admiration, often without appearing to try too hard. It involves curating one’s image and behavior to enhance their “cool factor” while avoiding overt displays of effort.”

So, the image & perception comment was on-target, then.

Damn: it just dawned-on-me:

The “No Kings” protest is this Saturday, right?

What if they’re waiting for that, so they can declare martial-law?

Shit.

I wonder how long they have left, to live?

Trump’s going to be exterminating them, when the tipping-point is crossed.

It’s dictatorship-101: exterminate all opponents that one can ( there are literal textbooks on dictatorship, not on how to do it, but on how it does things. This is from one of them, don’t remember which one ).

I can’t imagine Trump tolerating them to live, once the tipping-point is crossed, & he’ll push as hard as he can, in order to push the line as far as he can, from its current position, about what he can/can’t do…

I hope they can get the hell out, in time, when the US’s equivalent to the “Iron Curtain” is coming-down…

Putin is Trump’s mentor, & people are ignoring that…

Sanders is a hero, outright, for all the good work he’s done…

( I disagree with him on things, but he’s a hero. AOC’s got an excellently sharp mind, & I disagree with her on things, but she’s done FAR more good than harm for the US of A. Given the prejudice she’s endured, it’s entirely possible that she’s a true-hero, too. )

Anybody who thinks that the current-regime is somehow “helpless” to find new weapons against accountability, you’re all daft.

They’re working as hard as they can, to figure-out how to break any accountability that the current legalism-regime would enforce.

If 1 of the signatories to that Epstein-files petition were to suddenly die, then they could claim that the petition isn’t valid, anymore, right?

Would YOU put it past them to “arrange” a heart-attack for 1 of 'em ( the CIA has a frozen-poison-needle heart-attack gun, apparently, & have used it for decades )?

I wouldn’t.

There is NO motivation like having-your-toys-taken-away-from-you, “terrorizing” you with accountability, to enforce a LETHAL tantrum, among toddler-types, right?

That principle extends to the politically-motivated, in many ways…

They’re more dangerous than the left is understanding.

1. It’s Too Late.
2. It’s Been Too Late For Years: this was inevitable, given the balkanization of “education” in the US of A, where only some sub-populations were taught considered-reasoning, scientific-method, etc, where the wealthy could conserve quality-education to themselves, etc.
3. it isn’t that the US will sink into autocracy/autarchy for decades, it is that there won’t be any functional country left, by 1 decade in the future: US Civil War Part2 is BAD.
4. “status quo” is delusion: it doens’t protect anyone.

Seriously, people, read the /news /politics /nottheonion communities 1st set to Controversial, then set to New, then ask yourself what happens when the hugest military-industrial-complex in the world sets its sights on exterminating civil-rights, citizen’s-rights, non-white rights, etc, as systematically as the current regime’s Heritage Foundation blueprinted regime-change is doing…

It’s too late.

The Democrats had the government, & they wouldn’t make gerrymandering illegal.

they wouldn’t make vote-districts be controlled by some non-partisan gov’t agency.

That was their choice.

I don’t understand how Democrats can have ANY right to complain about the gerrymandering they protected … being used against them.

Politics is the wrong paradigm.

The reason that Science progresses is because Objective Truth outranks, in its system, politics.

Because politics rejects Objective Truth’s rule, therefore DEvolution is the result, instead of Evolution.

The 2 paradigms produce their inevitable results.

Bandaids don’t fix broken-bones.

You have to change the structural-function of government, if you want different kinds of results.

Until humankind outgrows political-wrestling-match-rules-all idiocy, then no systemic true-victory is possible.
