Need your help @SerendipityJane . You know this stuff.

Attached Truth from Trump. connecting ANTIFA to HAMAS etc. Text is

Friday, August 28, 20266:05 PM Truth Social

^EXCLUSIVE: State Dept reveals Portland Antifa connection to Hamas, Iran's IRGC in sweeping terror action: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/exclusive-state-dept-reveals-portland-antifa-connection-hamas-irans-irgc-sweeping-terror-action^

I can't open Fox, but I got this alternate site.

EXCLUSIVE: State Dept reveals Portland Antifa connection to Hamas, Iran’s IRGC in sweeping terror action | The New York Ledger (thenyledger.com)

"Autistici/Inventati, called the A/I Collective by the State Department, is an Italy-based group that builds highly sophisticated digital infrastructure used by violent left-wing organizations in the United States and Europe, along with Islamic terrorists, according to the State Department. The collective’s services include encrypted chats and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming and anonymity shields, according to the memo."

My question is just simply, is this possible for this group to be doing this from a tech point of view. It all seems a bit suspect to me. Are they writing this code, or is it just a server hosting commercial apps, if you see what I mean? Much like " Acme Holdings" might do.

This all seems to be propaganda to me. As in, Trump is managing to propagandize almost the entire US Government. Esp against "the left".

I also saw a thread on here yesterday. MN Goodwins alert.. about a US Guv commissioned report on " Authoritarian Leftists" who are pro trans being more likely to see political violence as being ok. And knock me over with a feather, who would have thought anyone who identifies as authoritarian would see political violence as ok.

Now, I have no skin in this trans thing on MN. And I could not open that report, but I could get enough info from reports on the report to see that many posters had a "propaganda" reaction to it. That is, there was no rocket science in the report, it was basically just saying something already known, that authoritarians are more likely to be authoritarian. But many posts were calling for "the left" to be cracked down on. And that seems to me the exact reaction the US Guv were looking for.

I am just interested that's all, and you know IT stuff.

Have you read Foucaults Pendulum ?

No

No

Ah.

TL;DR is that a bunch of far too clever for themselves misfits end up inventing a more and more ludicrous conspiracy theory with each link being more and more whacky, only to discover it is all true as they are eliminated by the shadowy cabal they joked about.

If it hadn't predated the "da Vinci Code" by 20 years, you'd think Eco ripped it off. 😀

Speaking of Eco 😀

The 14 Features of Ur-Fascism

  • Cult of tradition: Syncretic blending of old rituals and beliefs, rejecting the advancement of modern knowledge.
  • Rejection of modernism: Refusal of the Enlightenment, viewing modern capitalist and rational culture as moral depravity.
  • Action for action’s sake: Cult of action without intellectual reflection, viewing thinking as a form of emasculation.
  • Disagreement is treason: Total intolerance of criticism, as intellectual diversity breaks down consensus.
  • Fear of difference: Exploitation of the natural fear of outsiders, making Ur-Fascism inherently racist by definition.
  • Appeal to a frustrated middle class: Mobilization of a class suffering from economic crisis or political humiliation.
  • Obsession with a plot: Fanning xenophobic paranoia by convincing followers that they are under siege by internal or external conspiracies.
  • Humiliated yet omnipotent enemies: Framing opponents as simultaneously too rich/powerful and fundamentally weak/decadent.
  • Pacifism is collusion with the enemy: Life is viewed as permanent warfare, making peace an impossible and traitorous concept.
  • Contempt for the weak: Elitism that trickles down, where every member of the group is taught to despise those below them.
  • Heroism and the cult of death: Everyone is educated to become a hero, which closely links to an obsession with a heroic death.
  • Machismo: Transference of the will to power onto sexual matters, leading to disdain for women and non-conforming sexualities.
  • Selective populism: Treating "The People" as a monolithic theatrical entity rather than individuals, using a leader to interpret their "common will".
  • Newspeak: Utilization of an impoverished vocabulary with elementary syntax to limit critical and abstract reasoning.

When you ask posters what they mean with 'the left' you won't get an answer.

I think it is anyone who is not far right and full of hate.

Just the headline is almost enough for this one. Add this -

"The chief executive of Kingsbarn, Jeff Pori, made several donations to Trump’s joint fundraiser committee for his 2024 campaign, according to campaign finance records. CNN has asked Pori, through Davis, for comment on his donations."

The rest of the story writes itself.

No need to click the link. Just sigh, and feel whatever emotion of disgust or anger strikes first.

If Trump was a ragebait journalist at " take your pick of publications", he would be sacked in his first week for his made up stories being too outrageous.

If anyone wants any tips for how to live in an authoritarian state.... don't ask me. It's secret. If I told you I would be breaking the law where I am now, and would be breaking US law if you asked me to message you using secure methods.

But try not to mention the war. That one you can have for free. Just repeat this.... Trump did not start the Iran war.
