Chris Hedges writes this, about an exposure from almost a decade ago of potential kill targets for remote killing.
“He also exposed that the more than one million entries in the TIDE database include about 21,000 United States citizens.”
So,
how many are on the list now? of course he cannot tell us, but we can assume the number has only gone up.
how many UK citizens are on the list?
why doesn’t Hedges make the obvious link with the current Biden attack on 'domestic terrorists? Surely that would have been rather logical to do? Or am I missing something?
I forget, was Hale another one of the ‘leakers’ who was caught BECAUSE they leaked to the Intercept? maybe somebody who has been following this can tell us.
Think about the link to the ‘vaccine passport’…I’m not sure how it could be linked, but if they ‘bring imperialism home’ as they seem to be doing, could the drones be in our skies following anybody WITHOUT a ‘vaccine passport’ in their smart phone?
Thanks @Everyman for the reminder that the world goes on. Unfortunately the drone killings, Palestinian oppression and colonial abuse throughout Africa continue unabated.
Your post reminds me of a song by the Manic Street Preachers. If You Tolerate This, Then Your Children WIll Be Next, from 1998.
If and when the first “precision strike” on “domestic terrorists” takes place it will be the test case. Probably in the US and probably some WACO style group of folks. Once the precedent is set the next one is easier, the “collateral damage” more readily justified, and on and on it goes. The monopoly on violence and the power to shape every narrative will make it pretty much inevitable.
Will drones track individuals? Yes, eventually, if this is not already happening.
All of which is a terrifying prospect but more chilling still is the near-certainty that vast swathes of people will warmly applaud it.
I really hope my paranoia is fooling me but tbh it seldom has, and especially not the last few years. For me the Skripal Novichok bullshit was a massive red flag, and Johnson was deeply involved in that. He is utterly insane.
Agree, that the Skripal poisoning was a total red flag, and the Dawn-whats-her-name poisoning shortly afterwards. How anyone could take such an outrageous/false narrative seriously is beyond belief.
And has anyone noticed that the twerrorists have suddenly disappeared? you know, all those vehicle attacks. The Westminster Bridge attack was the most obvious one, and the MP who gave resuscitation to the dying policeman was Tobias whats-his-name, who heads the 77th Brigade.
I know, you couldn’t make this stuff up (including all the obvious mannequins that were used on Westminster Bridge as dead bodies).
Likewise with the London Bridge ‘attacks’, one of which occurred just days before a general election, and shortly before the attack the Sun and Daily Mail were running stories about Corbyn being a terrorist sympathiser.
