Liberals Support Slave Labor: Illegal immigration is a horror show of exploitation and human misery

From [HERE] Decades after men like Cesar Chavez thought they broke the back of Big Ag, which was using Mexican and other labor to make huge profits, little has changed. I just got an email from Amazon/Whole Foods saying some of the prices on my weekly standard delivery order are going up due to “increasing labor costs.” In the agriculture sector, 76 percent percent of the exploited persons are immigrants, and nearly half of all victims are from Mexico.

And that touches the third rail of importing cheap labor to the United States, the actual slave trade, which preceded mass immigration. Call it racist to bypass the forced nature of this “immigration,” but the parameters are terribly similar. Both involve people being denied basic rights and protections, both situations involve exploitation—long hours, little or no pay, unsafe conditions, and both enslaved people and illegal alien workers are in vulnerable positions, often unable to leave or seek help safely (such as trafficked aliens). It is certainly not the same, but the cheap, exploitable labor that drives prostitution and farm work in modern America has the same basis as the cheap, exploitable labor which drove the antebellum global agrarian economy.

The pool of vulnerable labor is by necessity large, with some 18.6 million million illegal aliens currently in the U.S. Yet demanding even more immigration, and playing cops and robbers with ICE, is a key platform for the Democratic party today. So what are they fighting for?

They are for the same base of exploitable labor that has been a part of the United States from near the Founding, only this time dressed up with the sanction of modern liberal morality. The farm workers the Democrats celebrate as hard-working men of the soil are just people imported for their vulnerability. Those 19th-century immigrants were sacrificing all for a better future by laboring in some of the worst sweatshops of the century (my maternal grandfather was an unschooled child laborer in a candy factory.) It looks good for many family stories to focus on those black and white relatives who came over (and that certainly is the myth behind the Ellis Island version of things), but in reality it hides the same dark tale still being written today.

Despite her pretty words about freedom, AOC supports the sexual exploitation of women and girls. Gavin Newsom supports the use of Mexicans in his “sanctuary” state as long as they do back-breaking field work. Zohran Mamdani will be ensuring his New York is maintained with inexpensive restaurant food and plenty of prostitutes. Forget the sob stories about hard-working dads plucked out of the meatpacking plants (undocumented workers make up up to 50 percent percent of the meatpacking workforce; meatpacking companies recently paid out $8 million for child labor violations) by the ICE “Gestapo,” and focus on what is underlying all those workers being drawn here in the first place. Illegal labor is the engine of a shadow economy and always has been—now fully supported by Democrats. [MORE]

Advocates Say Authorities Must Inform the Public that Digital IDs (if adopted) Will Be Voluntary and Optional [Unless you can't do anything without it]

From [HERE] Children’s Health Defense (CHD) is urging U.S. regulatory authorities to publish a webpage that clearly states that digital ID systems, if adopted, will be voluntary and optional for U.S. citizens.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which operates under the U.S. Department of Commerce, is preparing to launch a “Frequently Asked Questions” webpage about its new rules.

In a letter sent Thursday to Ryan Galluzzo, NIST’s digital ID program leader,

Miriam Eckenfels, director of CHD’s Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) & Wireless Program, wrote:

“CHD requests that NIST publish a formal FAQ to confirm your department is committed to emphasizing the voluntary nature of digital ID, meaning that nothing in the new NIST guidance should be construed to require biometric identification.”

Eckenfels provided sample language NIST could use for the FAQ.

NIST, which is responsible for establishing “technical requirements for federal agencies implementing digital identity services,” recently published its updated digital ID guidelines.

While the new guidelines don’t state that digital IDs would be mandatory, the document doesn’t include a special section explaining that digital IDs must remain optional.

“Children and traditionally identified persons (meaning people who decline a digital ID) would be adversely affected by NIST’s new guidance if the guidance is misinterpreted to require digital identification such as biometric identifiers,” Eckenfels said.

NIST “is clearly moving toward digital wallets and biometric keys that will make it harder for Americans to access their online accounts (email, bank, everything online) unless Americans provide biometric identifiers (face scan, thumb print),” said Greg Glaser, a digital privacy expert and attorney.

On Aug. 19, Montana became the 10th state to accept digital IDs via Apple Wallet, according to PC Mag. The app enables iPhone users to store a digital driver’s license or state ID on their phone. Montana also adopted Google Wallet, available on Android phones.

Nine other states — Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Maryland, New Mexicoand Ohio — have adopted Apple’s digital ID app, according to PC Mag. Seven more states are preparing to adopt the app, MacRumours said.

Eight states, including Montana, have adopted Google Wallet as of Aug. 20, according to ZDNet.

Twila Brase, a registered nurse, expressed support for CHD’s letter. “NIST must make it clear by putting it in writing that digital IDs are voluntary, can never be mandated, and those who have them can revert to a hardcopy license,” she said.

Brase is co-founder and president of Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom, a health privacy nonprofit that has been challenging Real ID. She said:

“As we’ve seen with our work to oppose the REAL ID system, government agencies rarely disclose that individuals are not required to have a REAL ID. As a result, most people with REAL ID and digital IDs are clueless about their rights, government biometric databases, federal control over their ID, or how digital IDs enable government tracking in full violation of the [U.S. Constitution’s] 4th Amendment.

“If Americans knew the truth about the federal REAL ID and digital IDs, we’d see much higher refusal rates. But without proper warning or full disclosure by state DMVs, Americans accept the unacceptable.”

The States Sending Race Soldiers to DC Have Worse Crime Problems: 53 Cities Across Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia had higher Murder Rates than DC in 2024

From [HERE] The residents of Washington, D.C., have responded to President Donald Trump’s deployment of federal law enforcement and National Guard into their neighborhoods with revulsion, vitriol and hurled hoagies. 

Trump declared a crime emergency in the nation’s capitol on Aug. 11, even though violence rates recently plunged to the lowest levels seen in decades. A recent Washington Post-Schar School poll found that 79 percent of Washingtonians oppose Trump’s actions and 69 percent do so “strongly.” 

After Trump deployed 800 members of the D.C. National Guard, six Republican governors volunteered hundreds of their own guardsmen: West Virginia, South Carolina, Ohio, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee. 

Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) said sending troops from other states, “doesn’t make sense,” but she believes the district has little power to stop them. 

That got us wondering: How would those governors feel if National Guard troops from other states were ordered onto their streets, perhaps to patrol one of the 53 cities in those states with a higher murder rate than Washington’s? After all, if D.C. is in the throes of a crime emergency worthy of a militarized response — and you have no concerns that response might backfire — then why aren’t the good people of Jackson, Mississippi or North Charleston, South Carolina? 

According to a Democracy Docket analysis of the FBI’s Crime in the United States Annual Report, using Offenses Known to Law Enforcement, by State by City in 2024, 53 cities across Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia had higher murder rates than D.C. in 2024. 

Some of the cities have violent crime rates significantly worse than D.C. Memphis saw 2,501 violent crimes per 100,000 residents in 2024, more than double Washington’s 926. The murder rate in Memphis was 41 per 100,000 residents, compared to 26 for D.C.

Washington did see a spike in violent crime and car thefts during the COVID pandemic, but that peaked in 2023. Violent crime dropped by over a third — 35 percent — in 2024, matching a trend in cities across the nation, including Memphis. 

Despite the GOP’s focus on Democratic-led cities, crime is a problem for Republican towns, too. Shreveport, Louisiana, which has a Republican mayor, has a higher murder rate than DC (27 per 100,000 residents), and a higher violent crime rate (1,228 per 100,000 residents). [MORE]

No Wonder Racists Sleep Well at Night, They Believe Joy Reid is "Radical"

The above is mindless nonsense found in The Spectacle. Joy Reid is an out of work Black probot and sleeping tom. She was unplugged by her elite liberal masters at MSNBC and is looking for a new gig to continue parroting their messaging. Her and a large number of other coin-operated Black puppeticians, authorities, spokespuppets and proxymorons are showcased and paid well by elite white liberals in the Democratic party establishment.

In reality, elite racists have done a great job at minimizing and burying the radical works of Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, Dr. Amos Wilson, Neely Fuller, Marimba Ani, Steve Coakley, Dr. Blynd, Elijah Muhammad and others. Racist suspect liberal scholars in particular deny their existence by omission.

Nebraska Announces Opening of Immigration Pri$on - Major Goal is 100% Non-White Occupancy

Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen on Tuesday announced the opening of a new immigration detention center in the southwest corner of the state. Major General Craig Strong said that the move is an integral step in supporting “the president’s initiatives for homeland security.” The present McCook Work Camp will be transformed from a minimum-security facility and will expand its current holding capacity from about 185 to approximately 300.

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said that the new center, dubbed Cornhusker Clink, is a partnership between Nebraska and the DHS. Secretary Kristi Noem remarked that the partnership aims “to remove the worst of the worst out of our country.” Governor Pillen spoke similarly in the DHS press release, stating:

I am pleased that our facility and team in McCook can be tasked with helping our federal partners protect our homeland by housing criminal illegal aliens roaming our country’s communities today. I am also proud that the Nebraska State Patrol and National Guard will be assisting ICE enforcement efforts, as well. Homeland security starts at home, and, just as when I twice deployed troops to secure our southern border during the failed Biden administration, Nebraska will continue to do its part.

The new detention center mimics Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz,” from which deportations have already started to occur. Nebraska residents are protesting the new center’s opening, with some expressing concerns that it will parallel a “concentration camp.” One protestor pleaded, “We are not criminals. We’re people like these are people that you are putting in, like, these ethnic camps.” [MORE]

After DC and Chicago, is Venezuela the Next Target of the White American Empire? Is Dummy Trump “Saving the Country" in Order to Steal the World’s Largest Oil Reserves?

After Convincing Neuropeons that Inner City Crime is a Threat to National Security, Trump Will Send Race Soldiers to Chicago, Declares Another Fake Emergency to Last as Long as It Distracts His Base

Stagnant Job Market Is a Rising Risk for the U.S. Economy

From [HERE] The Pentagon has for weeks been planning a military deployment to Chicago as President Donald Trump says he wants to crack down on crime, homelessness and undocumented immigration, in a model that could later be used in other major cities, officials familiar with the matter said.

The planning, which has not been previously disclosed, involves several options, including mobilizing at least a few thousand members of the National Guard as soon as September to what is the third most populous city in the United States.

The mission, if approved, would have parallels to the polarizing and legally contested operation that Trump ordered in Los Angeles in June, when he deployed 4,000 members of the California National Guard and 700 active-duty Marines despite the protests of state and local leaders. The use of thousands of active-duty troops in Chicago also has been discussed but is considered less likely at this time, said two officials who, like others interviewed, spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

The Chicago effort would further expand Trump’s use of military force domestically, even when state and local authorities call the idea unwelcome and unwarranted. Administration officials have defended such deployments, arguing that they are taking necessary steps to bring back law and order. [MORE]

Dummy Trump’s Fake Takeover: Excluding Immigration Arrests, Most Arrests are for Minor Misdemeanor and Traffic Offenses, Not Violent Crime

The White House said the federal police takeover's focus is on violent crime and criminals in the District. 7News looked into who's getting arrested and into the numbers and discovered that the majority of the arrests and interactions aren’t for violent crimes.

7News obtained a copy of the breakdown of each arrest outside of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) apprehensions, which showed that the majority of the arrests and interactions aren’t for violent crimes.

It noted every documented arrest during the takeover. The U.S. Marshal Service said it's responsible for the overall operations.

Outside of immigration enforcement, there have been 379 arrests documented. There were more misdemeanors and traffic citations issued than violent crime arrests. [MORE]

DC City Council Member: ‘Trump Takeover is a Political Stunt. Not about crime, this is about power and control’

From [HERE] On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” D.C. City Councilman Zachary Parker (D) criticized “the characterization that D.C. is some slum and dangerous.” And stated that “we are seeing a surge of federal officers that are harassing individuals in all quadrants of our city, that are posing real risk to Washingtonians.”

Co-host Wolf Blitzer asked, “What’s your reaction to what’s been going on in our city over these past several days?”

Parker answered, “I would say it’s outrageous. Residents are demanding that we push back on what’s happening in this city, as well as the characterization that D.C. is some slum and dangerous.”

Later in the interview, Parker said, “What we do know is that the federal government is wasting millions of dollars through this political stunt that is not making residents safer. In fact, when you look at the numbers, the federal government is producing worse outcomes than our Metropolitan Police Department would on an average night, normally. And it just doesn’t track with the facts.”

Blitzer then asked, “A lot of observers here in Washington, myself included, have noted that these federal troops are mainly in the city’s tourist areas, the National Mall, Union Station — the big railroad station here in Washington — and elsewhere, but they’re not necessarily in neighborhoods where crime and shootings are still taking place. Is that your understanding?”

Parker answered, “That is my understanding. We are seeing National Guardsmen deployed near Metro stations and on federal properties. [MORE]

According to the Israeli Army Database: 83% of the Gazans They Murdered Were Civilians

Data from an internal Israeli intelligence database indicates that at least 83 percent of Palestinians killed in Israel’s onslaught on Gaza were civilians, an investigation by +972 Magazine, Local Call, and the Guardian can reveal. 

Figures obtained from the classified database — which records the deaths of militants from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) — contradict by a huge margin the public statements of Israeli army and government officials throughout the war, which have generally claimed a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio of civilian to militant casualties. Instead, the classified data backs up the findings of several studies suggesting Israel’s bombardment of Gaza has killed civilians at a rate with few parallels in modern warfare. 

The Israeli army confirmed the existence of the database, which is managed by the Military Intelligence Directorate (known by the Hebrew acronym “Aman”). Multiple intelligence sources familiar with the database said the army views it as the only authoritative tally of militant casualty figures. In the words of one of them: “There’s no other place to check.” [MORE]

TikTok Bans Calling Israeli Forces ‘Terrorists’ Days After Hiring Former Soldier and “Proud Zionist”

TikTok has updated its guidelines to include a ban on referring to Israeli forces as “terrorists,” just days after hiring a former Israeli soldier and self-described “proud Zionist” to fight antisemitism. The move comes as Israel continues its genocide and starvation in Gaza with images and videos showing emaciated children, relentless bombardment, and widespread destruction flooding social media platforms.

Activists on X have reported the ban, which “violates community guidelines”, noting that this came just 15 days after the social media platform TikTok appointed Erica Mindel, as its new Public Policy Manager for Hate Speech. [MORE]

House Minority Whip Katherine Clark Backs off Gaza ‘Genocide’ Comments

House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) said that she was not accusing the Israeli government of committing genocide in Gaza, despite saying at an event last week there was “genocide and destruction” in the war-torn strip.

“Last week, while attending an event in my district, I repeated the word ‘genocide’ in response to a question. I want to be clear that I am not accusing Israel of genocide, ” she said in the statement to POLITICO on Tuesday. “We all need to work with urgency to bring the remaining hostages home, surge aid to Palestinians and oppose their involuntary relocation, remove Hamas from power, and end the war.”

Clark’s statement was first reported by the Jewish News Syndicate.

Clark made her comments at an event hosted by a Quaker organization in her district last week, POLITICO previously reported. At the event, she called on those in the audience to “take action in time to make a difference … whether that is stopping the starvation and genocide and destruction of Gaza” or other major political issues.

Eric Dickerson Claims NFL Teams Were Told Not to Draft Shedeur Sanders

Legendary Rams running back and NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson is claiming that the NFL ordered teams not to draft Browns QB Shedeur Sanders, and then, eventually, asked the Browns to take him.

“I tell you this much, what I heard from someone that’s in the NFL, that the NFL told [teams] don’t draft him, do not draft him,” Dickerson said on the Roggin and Rodney Show, via Christian Arnold of the New York Post. “We’re going to make an example out of him. And this came from a very good source, a very good source.”

So, did the Browns disobey this alleged order from the NFL? Not according to Dickerson.

“I won’t say who — somebody called the Cleveland Browns and said, ‘Don’t do that, draft him,’” Dickerson said. “Because they weren’t going to draft him, either. . . .They were forced into drafting him because somebody made a call to them.”

Dickerson claims that the NFL essentially wanted Sanders to go undrafted to prove a point.

“He was not gonna get drafted, to basically show you this is what happens when you do this,” Dickerson said. “When I say it came from a good source, I say it came from a very, very good source.”

Sanders was eventually drafted in the fifth round, a shocking result to many after virtually all media mock drafts had him going in the first round, or even in the top five. [MORE]

The Perils and Absurdities of Mayor Trump’s DC Occupation

Trump says from the safety of the freshly paved over Rose Garden, where his UFC ring will likely go, that we have “caravans of youth rampaging through city streets at all times of the day.” (Note the use of “caravan,” a descriptor usually saved for immigrants trying to cross the border. It’s Klan Mad Libs.)

Please listen to me: I am out here every day, and there are no “caravans of youth” looking to carjack Oklahoma senators with manhood issues. Instead, Trump is trying to nationalize what he did to the Central Park 5 and, just like with the Central Park 5, it’s a divisive lie. This is one more Big Lie, facilitated by Fox News, that Trump’s supporters need to believe. They crave for Trump to be their white knight, which is why he is desperate that they not reckon with his time on Epstein’s island. Trump needs to distract them, and he needs to suppress democratic revolt against a failing, increasingly unpopular agenda—and this move does both.

This is not about street crime. This is about the president’s public desire to militarily occupy cities in states with Democratic governors, put a final stake in the heart of democratic norms, and, most critically, do it all on fictitious terms. The key is to make people accept the lies so they become complicit. Crime-rate drops are irrelevant. Murder rates in red states are irrelevant. When you choose to believe the lie, then you find yourself defending it. When you defend it, you become a part of the harm it does. Trump getting people to believe what is untrue is the political version of getting more prints on the handle of a gun.

DC is the perfect testing ground for this coup, because it doesn’t have statehood and only limited home rule. As longtime DC civil rights leader the Rev. Graylan Hagler told me, “We were already occupied by law enforcement making DC one of the most police occupied cities in the country with Capitol police, park police, transportation police, the FBI, the DEA, and the list goes on and many of those agencies additionally having separate police departments of their own. Only the MPD [The Metropolitan Police Department] was under local control, and that no longer exists. With the National Guard on the streets and all local empowerment gone, we are a city and people living under martial law.” [MORE]

The ATF is Conflicted between Upholding the Constitution and Dominating Black People to Entertain Trump's Neuropeon Supporters: Agency Claims Concealed Carry ‘Puts Everyone Involved at Risk’

The millions of law-abiding Americans who have chosen to carry a concealed firearm are putting “everyone involved at risk,” the ATF announced this week in a tweet on X.

“Take a look into our world. This is a scenario @ATFWasington frequently faces when combatting violent crime and maintaining public safety. Many people attempt to conceal firearms on their person or belongings which puts everyone involved at risk. #MakeDCSafeAgain #ATF,” the ATF tweeted on X.

As you can imagine, ATF’s message received hundreds of overwhelmingly negative responses including many that are not fit to reprint.

“Concealed carry is not the issue—you are. Millions of law-abiding citizens carry concealed every single day without incident. Concealed carry saves lives. Disarming people and vilifying them on social media doesn’t,” Ammoland News posted. 

Noted Second Amendment scholar and attorney Mark W. Smith asked a prominent Justice Department civil rights attorney in a tweet to “speak with the Washington ATF field office about the Second Amendment and the Bruen decision. I suspect their social media person lacks the relevant knowledge.”

Aiden Johnston, director of federal affairs for Gun Owners of America, tweeted “Try reading Heller, McDonald, Bruen, and the Second Amendment again, tyrants.” In his tweet, he added a picture of the Bruen decision.

The Firearms Policy Coalition tweeted simply: “Your existence puts everyone at risk. AMIRITE?”

“Times have changed. This isn’t 1934,” firearms trainer and author Ranjit Singh tweeted.

The ATF posted their tweet at 9:05 a.m., Thursday.

Twenty-seven hours and thirty-seven minutes later, the ATF “corrected” their tweet.

“EDIT-Take a look into our world. This is a scenario @ATF Washington frequently faces when combatting violent crime and maintaining public safety. Many CRIMINALS attempt to conceal firearms on their person or belongings which puts everyone involved at risk. #MakeDCSafeAgain,” the ATF posted.

Takeaways

Most gun owners will not buy ATF’s response, changing “Many people …” to “Many CRIMINALS …”

The reasons for this is simple: We all know too well that the ATF has never understood the massive difference between law-abiding gun owners and criminals.

To the ATF, everyone who owns a firearm is a criminal. This has become their modus operandi. They treat every single gun owner as a criminal.

If you need proof, look at the ATF’s recent history. Look at how they treated Patrick “Tate” Adamiak, Mark “Choppa” Manley, Russell Fincher or Brian Malinowski.

The ATF sent their SWAT teams to raid the homes of all four men, but not a single illegal item was found, even though Adamiak is serving a 20-year sentence for made-up crimes, and Malinowski was shot and killed in his home by ATF Agent Tyler Cowart.

That the ATF actually views concealed-carry as a crime is not a surprise. What is surprising is that no one has done anything about it, at least not yet. [MORE]

DC Cops Woke a Black Man Up Asleep in Car by Pointing Guns @ His Face. Then They Shot Him to Death b/c He was Startled. Suit Seeks $15M. No Charges Filed Against Cops b/c 'They're Soft on Crime in DC'

From [HERE] The mother of a young Black man who was fatally shot by police at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Washington, D.C., has filed a federal lawsuit, saying her son had been asleep in his car when two officers startled him awake, then killed him.

Alicia R. Robinson is seeking $15 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages on claims including excessive force, wrongful death, gross negligence, and assault and battery over the Sept. 1 shooting, the lawsuit shows.

Justin Robinson was 25 years old when he died. He had worked for a violence interruption program, which was operated by D.C., according to The Washington Post.

“The irony of the situation here is that Justin was somebody that was hired by the government to keep the peace, and he was murdered by the police who saw a Black man in a vehicle,” attorney Andrew Omar Clarke, who represents Alicia Robinson, told McClatchy News over the phone on Aug. 22.

The lawsuit comes after prosecutors decided not to pursue criminal charges against two Metropolitan Police Department officers involved in the shooting, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia announced in a Jan. 15 news release.

“Unfortunately, the only thing that the court can do at this point to rectify this issue is to offer money or policy changes,” Clarke told McClatchy News.

Alicia Robinson is suing D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, MPD Chief Pamela A. Smith and the two officers for Fourth Amendment violations. “Shooting a citizen while he is minimally conscious is shocking and should be penalized with punitive damages,” Clarke wrote in the lawsuit.

At about 5:20 a.m. Sept. 1, police were called to a crash at the McDonald’s, where they found Justin Robinson “unresponsive” in his car with a gun in his lap, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

“Mr. Robinson had been sitting inside his car in the drive-thru of the McDonald’s, unresponsive, for around an hour before it moved forward and crashed into the building,” prosecutors said.

According to the lawsuit, eight MPD officers approached him in his car.

“The MPD officers spoke amongst themselves to devise a plan to detain the sleeping Mr. Robinson, search his vehicle for contraband, and gain entry to the vehicle,” the complaint says.

The two officers named as defendants walked over to Justin Robinson’s driver’s side door with their guns drawn and their “fingers on the trigger,” according to the filing, which says they then tried to open the door.

The door was locked, but the driver’s side window was open, the complaint notes.

One of the officers reached into the window and pointed his gun into Robinson’s face, according to the filing, which says the other officer “proceeded to do the exact same thing.”

“Mr. Robinson was startled out of his slumber and lacking full consciousness, reacted by placing his right hand up to his face and his left hand on the driver’s door,” Clarke wrote in the complaint.

The officers then fired at Robinson, according to the complaint.

Federal prosecutors, citing a review of evidence including surveillance footage and body-worn camera footage, said when one of the officers reached into the car, he was trying to grab a gun that had been in Robinson’s lap, leading to a struggle.

Justin Robinson did not let go of his gun, according to prosecutors. He was then accused of grabbing the officer’s gun.

When both officers ordered Justin Robinson to remove his hand from the weapon, prosecutors said he kept struggling with them.

Then the officers fired 11 shots at him, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Clarke told McClatchy News that it was surprising and “disheartening” the officers were not criminally charged.

“Here you have somebody that’s sleeping at the wheel, visibly, you know, trying to come to,” Clarke said, referencing footage of the incident. “The video is very clear.”

“You see the officer is putting his gun inside the car,” Clarke continued. “The reaction that Justin has to this is completely natural to anyone that is ... sleeping or unconscious or not awake.”

He added that Justin Robinson was “definitely not aware of what’s going on.”

The U.S. Attorney’s Office said there was “insufficient evidence” to hold the officers liable.

With the lawsuit, Alicia Robinson is demanding a jury trial.

“(The officers) deprived Mr. Robinson of his life by using excessive and unreasonable force when they shot him without any justifiable reason to do so,” the complaint says.

The U.S. Government Is Waging Psychological War On Its Citizens: Inside The Deep State’s PsyOps Machine

From [HERE] “Have you ever wondered who’s pulling the strings? … Anything we touch is a weapon. We can deceive, persuade, change, influence, inspire. We come in many forms. We are everywhere.”— U.S. Army Psychological Operations recruitment video.

From viral memes to military-grade influence operations, the government is waging a full-spectrum psychological war—not against foreign enemies but against its own citizens.

The goal? Compliance. Control. Conformity.

The battlefield is no longer physical—it is psychological—and the American people are the targets.

From AI-manipulated narratives and National Guard psyops to loyalty scorecards for businesses, the Deep State’s war on truth and independent thought is no longer covert. It is coordinated, calculated, and by design.

Yet while both major parties—long in service to the Deep State—have weaponized mass communication to shape public opinion, the Trump administration is elevating it into a new art form that combines meme warfare, influencer psyops, and viral digital content to control narratives and manufacture consensus.

In doing so, President Trump and his influencers are capitalizing on a propaganda system long cultivated by the security-industrial complex.

What we’re witnessing is not just propaganda. It is psychological warfare.

Psychological warfare, as defined by the Rand Corporation, “involves the planned use of propaganda and other psychological operations to influence the opinions, emotions, attitudes, and behavior of opposition groups.”

Today, those “opposition groups” include the American public.
