On the one hand, it does little to accuse the MAGA right of hypocrisy,
because they expressly reject moral and logical consistency,
aiming only for dominance and retribution.
On the other, it’s worth examining the way they bamboozled a majority of Americans into
believing conservatives are simply fighting for the principles of free expression and intellectual diversity.
The key to understanding this is recognizing how the right worked around the limitations …

30 years ago today, Barlow declared cyberspace independent. He was right that the network changes everything, but wrong that it could thrive without us. I suggest a new declaration. not independence, but interdependence.

FPS is the biggest available channel that I'm aware of to funnel Academi into ICE/CBP enforcement operations. The point of using FPS to support ICE agents is that FPS is stocked full of troops from EriK Prince's private army (now called "Academi" but formerly called "Blackwater"). This means that carrying out ethnic cleansing can dump money directly into the pockets of America's version of the Wagner Group (side from, of course GEO Group).
The Erik Prince angle also means that there can be an alternative chain of command that exists outside of official channels. ICE is already bad enough, but similar people have worked as mercenaries for a long time. Having an established chain of command over armed occupiers, one based entirely on economic incentives, one that can't be legally monitored or audited, one that's completely outside of the government, should be especially worrying.
I don't believe we've ever seen a clear explanation of who was kidnaping people off the streets, but I know that Academi had a contract (I believe with FPS) in Portland at the time. We also don't know who is on the ground in US cities right now, because they're wearing masks.
The bit reason J6 didn't go as planned is that Erik Prince wasn't behind it. Now there are troops with experience occupying American cities who can be called directly via Erik when Trump wants to make sure he doesn't lose again. And Erik won't back out at the last minute this time, because he's already seen that there will be no consequences for participating in a coup... if the time comes.

The #EU reached a complicated compromise on the regulation of biotech #crops last Thursday. This is a significant step, from negotiations under the Danish presidency 🇩🇰. The proposal still needs to be ratified by the Council and @…, though both were already participating to reach this stage.
There's a lot of detail of course but one key biological aspect is that varieties with the smallest, so-called NGT-1 changes would no longer be regulated under GMO rules, and would be labelled for marketing as seeds but not their products thereafter. Not so for NGT-2.

"This is the last chance for Western countries to convince the rest of the world that they are capable of dialogue rather than monologue, consistency rather than double standards, and cooperation rather than domination."
