Le Pouls Du Monde

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesAs I've mentioned in the past, I'm only a solitary analyst, working through health complications and chronic pain issues; as hard as I try, I can't talk about every story or I want to, or debunk as much spin as I observe in corporate media outlets. Unfortunately in the time since I last covered the Trump regime's ICE abduction of a student protest leader legally residing in the United States, for purely ideological reasons, the Pork Reich has expanded its war on international students who protested Israel's US-back genocide of Palestinians in Gaza; first targeting other students at Columbia, and now expanding to additional schools, like Tufts University, and the University of Alabama. As I (and many others) predicted, the Trump regime's use of immigration powers to engage in fascist ideological policing, and its loyal Gestapo (DHS/ICE) didn't stop at the illegal abduction of Mahmoud Khalil. In the time I've been writing about other stories, I've failed to talk about a lot of important information and events that shed light on how Trump is using his authority over immigration enforcement to prosecute a war on protestors, and protect a genocide he now owns just as much as the last administration and the rest of the imperialist US establishment do. Unfortunately, I can't rewind time; but I'm going to include some short posts with links to articles talking about what we've missed. It's a lot of reading, but putting it all here in this thread at least allows me to reference these incidents later, once I'm up to current events.Let's start by looking at Betar; an international, pro-Israel right wing extremist (so, fascist) group who claims to be behind the ICE abduction of Khalil and boasts about supplying the Trump regime with a target list of "thousands" of people for harassment and deportation.<a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/betar-deportation-list" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.commondreams.org/news/betar-deportation-list</a>Far-Right Group Sent List of Palestine Defenders to Trump Officials for Deportation"Betar, the international far-right pro-Israel group that took credit for the Department of Homeland Security's arrest of former Columbia University graduate student and permanent U.S. resident Mahmoud Khalil for protesting the annihilation of Gaza, claimed this week that it has sent "thousands of names" of Palestine defenders to Trump administration officials for possible deportation."Jihadis have no place in civilized nations," Betar said on social media Friday following the publication of a Guardian article on the extremist group's activities.Earlier this week, Betar said: "We told you we have been working on deportations and will continue to do so. Expect naturalized citizens to start being picked up within the month. You heard it here first. Those who support jihad and intifada and originate in terrorist states will be sent back to those lands."And just in case you think I'm being uncharitable about describing Betar as a fascist organization:"Critics have voiced alarm about Betar's activities, pointing to the pro-Israel Anti-Defamation League's recent designation of the organization as a hate group. Founded in 1923 by the early Zionist leader Ze'ev Jabotinsky, Betar has a long history of extremism. Its members—who included former Israeli Prime Ministers Yitzhak Shamir and Menachem Begin—took part in the Zionist terror campaign against Palestinian Arabs and British forces occupying Palestine in the 1940s.Today, Betar supports Kahanism—a Jewish supremacist and apartheid movement named after Meir Kahane, an Orthodox rabbi convicted of terrorism before being assassinated in 1990—and is linked to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party. The group has called for the ethnic cleansing and Israeli recolonization of Gaza. During Israel's assault on the coastal enclave, which is the subject of an International Court of Justice genocide case, its account on the social media site X responded to the publication of a list of thousands of Palestinian children killed by Israeli forces by saying: "Not enough. We demand blood in Gaza!"As noted elsewhere, White House officials refused to comment on whether or not they were working with Betar, but given that former executive director of the US chapter, Ross Glick, confirmed the existence of the targets list, and held bipartisan meetings about punishing anti-genocide campus protesters with Senators like (R) Ted Cruz, and (D) John Fetterman, it seems entirely plausible that the regime is using Betar's list to target international student protesters for fascist reprisals and deportations.<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Genocide</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CivilRights</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Khalil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Khalil</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Betar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Betar</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Imperialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Imperialism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Israel</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gaza</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CampusProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CampusProtests</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Palestine</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ICE</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ColumbiaUniversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ColumbiaUniversity</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DHS</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SettlerColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SettlerColonialism</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"Should Trump get his way, his licence to punish any speech that he deems pro-terrorist or against the US national interest would make him judge and jury on first amendment rights. It would put every US citizen — not just permanent residents — at risk. To take one example: Trump said that attacks on Tesla showrooms qualify as domestic terrorism. But you can fill in any number of blanks. Trump depicts his adversaries as the enemy within. Isn’t criticising America’s president anti-national?My guess is that Khalil’s case will make it to the Supreme Court. There, one of three scenarios could happen:1. The court rejects Trump’s attempts to bring back the Hanoverian bill of attainder and Trump reluctantly complies.2. The court folds and essentially declares Trump to be king.3. The court upholds the law, which gives due process to citizens and permanent residents alike, but Trump ignores the ruling.Both 2 and 3 would end the rule of law in America, though 3 would be a more dramatic way of doing it. 1 would be great, though do not bet on it. Students of political science could not ask for a better live experiment in whether liberal democracy can survive."<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/bcd39cd0-9995-4409-b525-853cdcdb98bf" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ft.com/content/bcd39cd0-9995-4409-b525-853cdcdb98bf</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/FreedomOfSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreedomOfSpeech</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Democracy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Khalil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Khalil</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/RuleOfLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RuleOfLaw</a>
