The Authoritarian System Comes for Us All...

But to start out my my daily takeover at harbinreport.com today is titled first they came for immigrants then they came for dissent Next are they coming for us? And and it's basically what i'm seeing here is a pattern that is yeah, once you see it, it's kind of impossible to unsee it This really started in 1981 with ronald reagan I keep it's it's kind of a joke around here. You know, louise says when I die She's going to put on my tombstone. It all started with reagan Because so much of it did in 1981 ronald reagan started the first detention centers for undocumented immigrants They were black haitians And this was ronald reagan's way in his first year of his presidency of declaring to the white supremacists And the the racists and bigots in the republican party that hey, we're here And we're on it. This is the guy who campaigned Saying When that young buck is standing in front of you in line in the supermarket buying steak and beer with his food stamps Doesn't it piss you off? This is the guy who went to uh, where the three civil rights workers, uh, schwerner schwermer Cheney and goodman were murdered down in mississippi and gave a speech on state's rights to an all-white audience Um, you know the I could go on but anyhow Reagan started this in 81 He built he opened the first detention centers, um core civic and geo group were both created or of course civic Ran the first one in 1982. I think it was and geo group came, you know became a thing in 84 So this is this all started with reagan and from there And and and by the way, there was a consensus at that time And a consensus that lasted right up. I would argue until this last year among americans broadly speaking Much stronger among republicans than among democrats, but still I mean, you know the the polling in 2016 was that roughly 80 percent of republicans and about 50 percent of democrats thought that The security of our southern border was an a real issue that the government needed to address And the aspect of it that people were concerned about was criminals Now there was also there was secondarily also an economic aspect to it that I don't much get into in the article But you know everybody knows which is the idea that People here without documentation were diluting our workforce and us driving down wages So anyhow, there was this broad consensus and so, you know presidents from reagan forward and and no democrats have stopped this in fact clinton increased the capacity of the Of the detention centers more than any other president until trump um You know, they they had been The whole premise of this thing is we're going to go after the worst of the worst And like I said, most americans were like gung ho. Yeah do it. In fact when when trump was re-elected in 2024 There was a substantial cohort Of hispanics of latinos who voted for him Because he had promised basically to clean up their communities. I mean they they People who are hispanic and first and second generation immigrants and here legally Were sick and tired of their communities being trashed and being robbed and raped and whatnot by people who were here Criminals who were not here legally and they thought hey trump is going to clean it up So you had a whole bunch of latinos who even voted for trump then came the first policy turn They and this happened during the first trump administration and that was when they stopped detaining and deporting Criminals and started detaining and deporting jose the gardener and maria the maid and and uh, the you know, mateo the the the small business owner and et cetera And this became a pretty big thing under trump. It was basically and and then you know, uh Beer bong, uh cavanaugh, uh, brett cavanaugh Weighed in and said and ice by the way can stop someone just based on the color of their skin And so we got the so-called cavanaugh stops So that was the first turn it went from we're going after the criminals to we're going after people with brown skin then the second turn Was when they said instead of just going after people with brown skin, we're going to go after people with brown skin Who are immigrants? Who are here legally fully legal with green cards and and this guy was had been approved for naturalization He could have become a u.s. Citizen. He was in the process of becoming a u.s. Citizen He had been in the united states for over 30 years. He has six children nine grandchildren. They're all u.s. Citizens He owns a business And he's the leader of the largest mosque in wisconsin But he had spoken out on behalf of palestinian rights and so They busted him and His name is sarsour his last name and In fact, I just saw that i'm Missed putting his first name in the article Anyhow, he he this is what the guardian wrote on march 30th on his way to see his elderly mother when he was surrounded He said by at least 10 unmarked vehicles and armed agents and civilian clothing whisked away First to a detention center near chicago and later miles away to a facility in indiana When sarsour who has no criminal record in the u.s Was first detained he thought the agents had mistaken him for someone else When they tried to get him to sign paperwork agreeing to be deported he refused I was very confused He said only as his ordeal protracted into days that he realized he had been targeted for his activism That really shocked me to be honest. He said And he was only released because a judge a guy by the name of patrick hamlin Uh said that he was being held because of his speech not because of his immigration status, which is you know, obviously true But he's in court today in chicago And we'll see where this story goes But now the trump but he was held for 80 days in one of these concentration camps Actually in two of them And so now trump's concentration camps have officially been used to hold people whose views the administration doesn't like Even though they're here legally All right, so we went from criminals to undocumented slash illegals to fully documented On the path to citizenship people who simply spoke out And then we come to trump's nspm-7 as national security presidential memorandum 7 from last september september 25th In which he said that anti-americanism anti-capitalism anti-christianity extremism on migration race gender Hostility towards those who hold traditional american views on family on religion and on morality Are all potential domestic terrorists now the wild thing is that there is no definition of domestic terrorist Under american law and miles taylor in the in the third hour is going to explain to you how the trump administration is setting up the structure To use our laws against international terrorism to come after progressives in the united states And it was in fact used last month to indict 15 protesters in minneapolis And now marco rubio has essentially declared that it's a loaded gun that is pointed at anybody that the trump administration opposes or even progressive members of the democratic party And the excuse or weapon that they're apparently planning to use is cuba For rubio, it's a twofer if he can take down cuba that's going to help his run for president in 2028 But he needs an excuse And that excuse also provides trump vance and miller and their buddies with a fine opportunity to start rounding up american progressives Rubio labeled cuba the capital of 21st century communism Uh, you know, I talked about this some yesterday and This document names american citizens For supporting for having visited cuba Uh, including, you know, my colleagues david packman amy goodman, new york city mayor zorah momdami Calling them basically leftist collaborators. So now this architecture is in place Ice has billions to expand their concentration camps. They've spread their secret mass police across every corner of america They're tied into flock cameras and palantir databases on You know on pretty much every american citizen And they've demonstrated that they're invulnerable to local law enforcement they can they can harass beat and kill people without any consequence whatsoever So now the trump regime, you know Like putin did before him and hitler did before him have identified the enemy within who must be purged and segregated from society Might be a good time to reach out to your member of congress and tell them that you're a little concerned about this
