ICE HIRES ONLY THE BRIGHTEST AND THE BEST

 

I can't help but wonder:

How many ICE agents were actively involved in the January 6 insurrection?

How many ICE agents identify as white supremacists?

How many ICE agents were previously members of a militia group?

How many ICE agents are hardcore MAGA?

Were prospective ICE agents given a psych test and a lie detector test, which is standard in police recruitment?

ICE is operating as a private police force answerable only to the President.   Do you see any parallels in history?

It was the worst of times...

STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRISON EXPERIMENT

 

 

 

 

In 1971, the Psychology Department of Stanford University conducted a prison experiment.

 

Twenty-four students volunteered to participate in the experiment.  The students were divided randomly as prisoners or guards.  The experiment was supposed to last for two weeks, but had to be curtailed after six days, because the student guards became too aggressive.

 

Without the proper training and oversight, this aggressive behavior would occur in both the police and the military.

 

This is exactly what we are seeing in ICE. 

The hiring standards for ICE agents were set at a low bar. 

The training was incomplete and inefficient.

The organization's oversight is lax and in the hands of unqualified individuals.

The goal of the organization is to intimidate into conformity and submission the population of politically blue states.

ICE is not about immigration; it is about suppressing the vote in the 2026 midterm election.

No big deal; we have been here before.

But it's damn cold.

WE DON'T NEED NO FUCKING LAW

 

The Gestapo was a private police force, operating above the law, and answerable only to the Dear Leader

THE BOARD OF PEACE

 

 

In order to stay relevant after his term in office, Donald Trump has organized what he calls the Board of Peace.   This is not an organization ratified by the U.S. Congress, but strictly a group of third-world sycophants looking to acquire worldwide power by consolidating.

 

Supposedly, the organization is formed to oversee the rebuilding and peace in Gaza, but its charter is vague and includes conducting oversight of the entire world.

 

The members include:

• 
  

• Nasser Bourita, minister of foreign affairs, Morocco
• Javier Milei, president, Argentina
• Nikol Pashinyan, prime minister, Armenia
• Ilham Aliyev, President, Azerbaijan
• Rosen Zhelyazkov, prime minister, Bulgaria
• Viktor Orban, prime minister, Hungary 
• Prabowo Subianto, president, Indonesia
• Ayman Al Safadi, minister of foreign affairs, Jordan
• Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, president, Kazakhstan
• Vjosa Osmani-Sadriu, president, Kosovo
• Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, prime minister, Pakistan
• Santiago Peña, president, Paraguay
• Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, prime minister, Qatar
• Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, minister of foreign affairs, Saudi Arabia
• Hakan Fidan, minister of foreign affairs, Turkey
• Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, special envoy to the U.S. for the UAE
• Shavkat Mirziyoyev, president, Uzbekistan
• Gombojavyn Zandanshatar, prime minister, Mongolia

 

 China and Russia have also been invited.

 

Trump has appointed himself the permanent chairman for life.  The term of membership is three years, but for one billion dollars, you can buy yourself a permanent membership.

 

The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war.

Is Trump forming his own version of NATO?

Will there be an Army of Peace under Donald Trump’s control?

Are we looking at a World Oligarchy – a consolidation of the rich to run the world?

A QUESTION ABOUT BLOGGER: A LITTLE HELP PLEASE

 

 

I got spammed by a commenter named Nancy.  Dozens of the same comment.  It seemed that as I deleted the spam, more reappeared.  Can you designate a commenter as spam so it doesn’t show again?
