Practice your Persian if you want your oil, necromancers who run their entire society by burning the dead and decayed.

Another example why letting go of our ideas about fascism and anti-facism based on WWII is so important, and have a very hard look at state institutions in Western democracies:
"The spycops scandal involves 139 undercover officers who spied on tens of thousands of predominantly leftwing campaigners in secret operations ....
So far the inquiry has heard evidence that ... undercover officers concealed their real identities in at least 13 trials of activists who were supporting causes such as anti-fascism, anti-apartheid and animal rights. The trials mainly concerned public order offences."https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/feb/15/spycops-senior-police-praised-undercover-officer-lied-to-court

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@inthehands/115991820801205754
This is a mostly great thread by Paul Cantrell @inthehands, about #Trump's #ICE #OperationMetroSurge. Paul is very good about the new intensity of persecution in #Minneapolis, while noting precedents in other parts of the USA.
But American Empire has global reach, and Paul's telling omits the #ImperialBoomerang part of the story. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_boomerang
See e.g. the #NYT op-ed by David Wallace-Wells https://archive.is/UGNfs .
The Minneapolis surge began in Iraq, Somalia etc

"Dutch police also use controversial AI intelligence software by American Palantir
The Dutch police have secretly used controversial AI intelligence software by the American company Palantir since 2012, the Volkskrant reported, based on documents obtained through the Open Government Act after years of trying. 99 percent of the documents have been blacked out, but it is clear that caretaker Prime Minister Dick Schoof was involved in purchasing the software in 2011 as Director General of the Dutch police."

colonial repression abroad becomes state violence at home
"From Palestine to Minneapolis, the same playbook is being used. Human rights lawyer Craig Mokhiber breaks down how colonial repression abroad becomes state violence at home."

@geonz Yes, we know only fragments, and may never know why #AlexPretti made those choices.
I'm suggesting that it is better to just regard him as the victim of a cruel murder, rather than than as saint or hero. But in the current frenzied American context of #imperialBoomerang, there is a hunger for saints and heros. It has been interesting to read some angry replies here, furiously denouncing me for trying to contextualise the man and his murder.

The #ImperialBoomerang theory is basically a longer form of natural #CauseAndConsequences.

THOUGHT 7/ #AlexPretti must have treated many people who had been deployed overseas with similar tactics, training and missions to those of #ICE and #CBP in #Minneapolis: to snatch suspects, kill resisters or objectors, and terrorise communities. He was a part of the machine of violence and the ideology of violence which killed him, in what #ChrisHedges calls the #ImperialBoomerang.

“Israel’s end is coming — is this the decade of reckoning we’ve been awaiting?”

@BBCNews“The reckoning has begun. Israel’s descent into fascism echoes what Hannah Arendt, Malcolm X, and Frantz Fanon witnessed in their own time — the empire’s violence returning home”

"A blueprint for mass deportation, marketed as development."
The new norm ?
"Prospectus proposes forced displacement of entire population and puts territory into US trusteeship.
A plan circulating in the White House to develop the “Gaza Riviera” as a string of high-tech megacities has been dismissed as an “insane” attempt to provide cover for the large-scale ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian territory’s population." >>
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/01/leaked-gaza-riviera-plan-dismissed-as-insane-attempt-to-cover-ethnic-cleansing"Gaza is becoming ‘graveyard of international humanitarian law’ "
"We have made the Geneva convention[s] almost irrelevant. What is happening and being accepted today in Gaza is not something that can be isolated; it will become the new norm for all future conflicts."
