"In 2025, the US is France. As impunity and lawlessness have grown in the US over the last several decades, it has also grown everywhere else. Even now, in the days of dwindling US status as a global endo-ideal, US news is watched more than anywhere on earth." #3E #EndImpunity 🧵

"Active genocides in Sudan and Palestine do not command as much attention as a meme from Donald Trump. In some ways, that makes sense, as memes from Donald Trump directly embolden and contribute to genocides elsewhere." #3E #EndImpunity

"The US is one of a very few states that could influence the UAE and Israel to obey international law, if there ever comes a time when the US itself obeys it." #3E #EndImpunity

"I have watched for decades as movements for change are intercepted and sent into the ditch on either the right or the left of the path forward to progress. This happens in every country but most quickly and effectively in the US." #3E

"Both ditches were and are built and maintained by the people who want to drive you off of your path. It’s time to get clear on principles and plans so that derailment doesn’t happen." #3E

"The ditch on the right is called centrism, although that is far from what it really is. In reality, it is the same road to fascism that the US has always been on, but in this era, it has unique markers." #3E

"My shorthand term for this is the Cheney-Rumsfeld era, because it doesn’t matter what corruption and institutionalized organized crime I am looking at, all roads in the US seem to eventually lead to Iran-Contra and those twin heads of modern coercion and crime." #3E

"No matter who the president has been since Nixon, everything smells like Cheney and Rumsfeld. (That smell is OpDeathEaters.) That is because there are, of course, far more people in the US government that hold the same views as Cheney and Rumsfeld and support the same policies." #3E

"Their methods are just the modern form of what has been done for centuries, but vastly accelerated. The gentle left-right rocking of a ship sailing towards fascism has been replaced by a bullet train, with little fundamental difference between left and right." #3E

"Few people in the US seem to agree with that assessment. In fact, many will react with blind rage at any suggestion of a comparison between politicians or people from different US political parties." #3E

"Many people in the US believe there is a real choice between good and bad governance being offered to them. They seem to believe that increasingly as it becomes more obviously false, a testament to the power of the new forms of coercion being employed." #3E

"Because it is a deeply felt, emotional belief, logic has very little effect on it. The increasing emotional need to believe in one side or the other is a result of emotional exhaustion." #3E

"This is behind the inability to see or accept facts, like the fact that every administration has marched the country farther into fascism. That blind rage is acting to drive protesters straight into the aforementioned ditch on the right." #3E

"If you aren’t allowed to even ask if the road you are on leads to the right, you aren’t going to be able to resist a force driving you there while screaming that it identifies as left, or centre." #3E

"The facts are very clearly in front of us. Epstein, as just one example, has been around for decades. Even if there was a president who did not deal directly with his network, there is no president that was not aware of the files on that network & the people who were implicated in those files." #3E

"This is why, over a decade ago, long before almost anything was reported about organized child rape and trafficking networks in high levels of power, I said that an investigation would catch the entire global oligarchy." #3E

"I did not then, and do not currently, have evidence against every single person in a position of great influence, power and access. I don’t have to." #3E

"I knew, even then, about enough predators with immunity from justice that it was clear that the society of enablers was wide enough to implicate everyone. In these times of global, all-pervasive surveillance, everyone at a certain level of influence knows the secrets of everyone else." #3E

"More importantly, it was obvious that these crimes were not even kept secret. They just had a very light veil of euphemisms thrown over what was being practiced completely openly. Everyone knew; everyone was complicit." #3E

"During the two terms of Reagan’s presidency, over 138 administration officials were investigated, indicted, or convicted. This shows that impunity was not completely entrenched yet at that point." #3E

"It advanced greatly during his [Reagan's] terms, however, most dramatically in the so-called investigation into the Iran-Contra war crime funding, election fraud, and more." #3E

"US media breathlessly covered the testimony of Oliver North, and concluded the exposure of his crimes (or willingness to be a fall guy) by proclaiming him a national hero and potential presidential candidate." #3E

"If one minute could be chosen for the acceptance of impunity as a key part of the US psyche, this is a strong contender." #3E

"Reagan’s vice-president, George H.W. Bush, himself complicit in Iran-Contra crimes, entrenched immunity during his presidency, starting with the pardons he issued to other officials complicit in Iran-Contra." #3E

"This was followed by Clinton, who was acquitted for his perjury and obstruction of justice. And then we get to George W. Bush. In addition to the declaration of an illegal war of aggression in Iraq, CIA atrocities exploded, " ... #3E

... "US black sites for disappearances and torture popped up in many countries with widespread international complicity, and innocent people were abducted from allied countries and shipped off to the world’s most infamous regimes for torture and incarceration." #3E
