What's called sending a message. It _sounds_ incompetent but isn't.
"When federal agents came to the home of David Morens on Monday with an arrest warrant for allegedly concealing federal records related to the debate about the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic, they behaved as if the 78-year-old retired scientist was a violent criminal.
Science has learned that Morens, an influenza researcher who worked at the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) until 2022 and was an aide to its former director, Anthony Fauci, was having his morning coffee at his Chester, Maryland, home when he heard loud pounding on the door. He opened it to find a half-dozen federal agents carrying guns and wearing tactical gear, including bulletproof vests, according to two sources who spoke with him but asked not to be identified. Another team of officers stood in the distance and observed, as did neighbors.
The agents did not harm Morens, but took off his pants and shirt, handcuffed him, and drove him 65 kilometers to the U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, Maryland, where he was fingerprinted, photographed, and jailed. He was released on his own recognizance later in the day, but was asked to return to Greenbelt and surrender his passport, which he did."

A quotation from Hannah Arendt
The only man for whom Hitler had “unqualified respect” was “Stalin the genius,” and while in the case of Stalin and the Russian regime we do not have (and presumably never will have) the rich documentary material that is available for Germany, we nevertheless know since Khrushchev’s speech before the Twentieth Party Congress that Stalin trusted only one man and that was Hitler.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 10 “A Classless Society,” sec. 1 (1951)More about this quote: wist.info/arendt-hannah/41599/

Shut Down Turnkey #Totalitarianism
William Binney, the #NSA #surveillance architect-turned-whistleblower, called it the "turnkey #totalitarian state." Whoever sits in power gains access to a boundless surveillance empire that scorns #privacy and crushes #dissent. Politicians will come and go, but you can help us claw the tools of oppression out of government hands.

The historian #GarryWills, in an essay on Phillip Knightley’s 1975 book about wartime journalism, “The First Casualty,” wrote, “A #liberaldemocracy submits to #propaganda more readily than a #totalitarian state. #Self‐censorship is always more effective than #bureaucratic #censorship.”

@irina @EUCommission Also it's IMO gross violation of freedom of speech, freedom of association.
It is my opinion that the hypocritical mask of the West slipped and the true, contemptible, authoritarian, totalitarian nature of the so called Western alleged democracies is revealed.

CW: Thoughts on Mainland tourists disrupting eco/env in #HK
many, if not most Hongkongers are fury on the capturing wild animals by tourists. This is a consensus now.
I would agree, and respond that, yes, people grown up in a #totalitarian state would mostly, if not all, NEVER respect any of creatures. 🫢🫣

#Ministry - #FaithCollapsing (1989)
"you are the dead. remain exactly where you are. make no move until you are ordered."
"Ministry samples the film 1984, which tells the story of a dystopian society with a totalitarian regime that oppresses its citizens. This is an extract from the scene in which protagonist Winston Smith and his lover Julia, who have been hiding their illegal affair from the secret police, are raided by the regime. 'You are the dead' echoes Winston’s previous statement that 'we are the dead', as in their #totalitarian society, their choice to rebel is a self-imposed death sentence."
