HOLY MOLY. The president of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia may be about to lose his job. Dr. Mark Tykocinski is a 70-year-old immunologist with an spotless academic record. His crime appears to be liking my tweets. Academic freedom is dead.
Thomas Jefferson president ‘should have known better,’ says the CEO in a note to the system’s community
The chief executive officer of Thomas Jefferson University said he was “disappointed” in president Mark Tykocinski’s “careless use” of his Twitter account in which he “liked” tweets that question the science of COVID-19 vaccines and call gender reassignment surgery “child mutilation.”
“At his level, he is held to a higher standard and should have known better,” Joseph G. Cacchione wrote in a message Sunday to Jefferson faculty, employees, and students.
Tykocinski is a Yale-educated molecular immunologist and academic leader who was elevated from provost to president July 1 and has worked at Jefferson for 16 years. He reports to Cacchione, who oversees the entire Jefferson enterprise, including the health system, which has a separate president.

I do not agree with the uparming of federal departments, In my world if they want to serve a warrant they should work with local law enforcement to apprehend.I guess we really are a police state:
Non-Law Enforcement Agencies Like IRS and EPA Spend Billions on Guns and Ammo, Watchdog Says
The Militarization of Federal Bureaucracy - Updated Statistics Through March 31, 2023
There are now more federal agents with arrest and firearm authority (200,000) than U.S. Marines (186,000).www.openthebooks.com
Since 2006, "76 rank-and-file agencies" outside "traditional law enforcement entities" or the Department of Defense spent $3.7 billion on "guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment," according to watchdog group Open the Books's summary of its report.
This article puts a bit of spin on the numbers though to make it sound excessive. "$2.3 million on duty ammunition for 2159 agents since 2020" Sure than sounds like a lot, but thats $355 worth of ammunition a year per agent. Even for everyday recreational shooters here thats 2 or three range days.

Position Reversed Again - Nashville Police Refuse to Release Transgender Audrey Hale Christian Murder Manifesto - The Last Refuge

Nothing against you mate at all, but I really don't care for Sundance any longer. The guy acts like he's revealing these choice nuggets of research about how our government has suddenly become tyrannical since he woke up and smelled the coffee, all the while this crooked shit has been going on since WW2 and the unleashing of the intelligence services that were supposed to be protecting us from communism. Operation Mockingbird goes way back, showing that this shit isn't new at all. The Watts riots, the assassination of Martin Luther King, etc., its the same old playbook. The names change, the details remain remarkably similar.Position Reversed Again - Nashville Police Refuse to Release Transgender Audrey Hale Christian Murder Manifesto - The Last Refuge

This is the guy that led his little flock of sheep around for a long while, hinting and telling them that there were all of these "white hats" in government that were going to ride in and save the day years ago. He had to eat crow and then ban people who were mad about it and wouldn't give up on the idea.
In that article you posted, he drops a not so subtle hint about what his "sources" in Tennessee and DC are telling him, but... he can't say too much.
Spill it or stop the tease!
He's a wannabe insider, and his schtick is all about trying to remain relevant now that Trump is out of power and his "readers" need a constant feeding trough of red meat to help them keep the faith. Most stories he posts are filler so he can interlace those to keep the Trump Train on the rails and not look like he's the one issue "reporter" he really is.
I'd like to know where he gets his money from to run his little sideshow, and who he hobnobs with that might be funding him.
Sorry for the derail!
Not trying to diminish what has been said here, lots of outstanding points, stories and news articles.
Wanna really know how bad things are getting? Break all of this down to the smallest level.
Break it down to your town Police, County Police and State police.
Wanna see a state of police? Look no further than your backyard. Got friends and family in Law Enforcement? Ask them about what is going on locally. Listen when they tell you the job is getting so out of control that officers are leaving in droves. A once coveted career field has become an absolute joke.
Look at how many are leaving and look at what they are being replaced with. This goes for the US Military as well. Good people leave, no one of great caliber want the jobs; hire anyone. These weak minded younger kids that are enlisting or taking these cop jobs, they mindsets are so weak and timid, they will do anything they are told by supervision and management.

Your criticism of CTH is valid. But he still provides the best detailed breakdown of the security state bureaucracy in this country. There may be others but his site is the best I have found to date.Nothing against you mate at all, but I really don't care for Sundance any longer.

I do find his constant hyping of trump and criticism of desantis more than a little strange. Trump is an outsider to the system but that doesn't make him a savior.

I've got a bunch of friends that are cops, and between the scamdemic and the uptick in the amount of "paperwork", they say it's not worth it.
A lot of them say they want to protect, not dick around with paperwork all day.
Some have told me they would just rather not deal with a situation because they didn't feel like doing the paperwork.

Another dive into the weeds by CTH. He was issued a subpeona for his involvement in the Jan 6 "insurrection." Yet he was not in DC and had no contact with anyone in DC on that day. So how did he wind up in the cross hairs of the investigation? Someone within twitter created a fictitious account with his name and associated it with others known to be in DC at the time. You can all guess "who" within twitter did that.
The end quote is worth considering:
The U.S. government is worried about TikTok, because U.S. citizen data might be extracted?
Meanwhile, the U.S. government, at a fully unrestricted administrative level, is inside Twitter, Facebook, Meta, Insta, YouTube etc., running amok and extracting anything – including private messages… and they’re somehow worried about protecting us from TikTok data collection. Think about it.
The intelligence agencies have been deeply involved within social media for years - to such an extent they can now use the platforms to essentially plant evidence of crimes and falsely accuse citizens that are completely innocent (but may cause trouble for the government).
Yes, we are living in a police state.

don't have to.
They are worried because THEY aren't the ones benefiting from TikTok's leaks.
Another sign of a police state is deliberate lies. As noted in the article below the Biden administration is lying about employment data. Every month the number of new jobs exceeds expectations. And every month after that the number is revised down significantly. But the press focuses on the shiny new number that beats expectations.

Just one of the benefits of our national-DC LE type and related agencies sleeping with the enemy. I expect DC swaps spit with the CCP and other "enemies" of our country at will. Who owns Joe xiden... ponder that...
@tirwin1 - this thread looks a good place to generate a good conversation on, actually, the very title you gave the thread.
A lot of things interplay in a modern "police state" - we watch them emerge, morph, become embedded in fUSA.Gov, observing their effects at the macro level and, then, via direct action, on a daily basis, act upon citizens who have done nothing wrong, while law-breakers, miscreants, scammers, politicians, foreign agents, illegals, and other assorted fUSA.Gov "approved shitweasels", go about their business seeding chaos around the country.
Oh, and don't expect any help from LE...they're part of the problem, and all they want is their pension - how exactly does a pension paid in a mixture of fiat CBDCs and shitty Paki rice work? Yeah, they're fucked too - another reason any "good" LE are exiting stage left.
Bluntly, there appears to be little to be done about it at this juncture and, quite frankly, it is rather amusing - this benighted shit-hole country has done full mag dumps into its own feet, ever and over and over and over again.
Janking with the "economy" (fake anyway) will allow many of the final pieces to be accumulated or institutionalized - like CBDCs.
So, with that said, let's start making ourselves bigger targets...I'm sure "they" know who and where "we" are already.
Tolerance Is Overrated: It's Time To Start Gatekeeping American Society Again - Alt-Market.us
"In other words, leftists assert that all personal beliefs and behaviors must be embraced by the populace in order for society to become pure.
Except, this is not what they really believe. Leftists argue for tolerance of aberrant behaviors while admonishing normal human tribal and biological reactions. They have a vision for the world, and certain beliefs are not accepted within that Utopian fantasy."
The Disinformation Governance Board Is Out. The "Foreign Malign Influence Center" Is In.
"Despite being derisively referred to as “the Ministry of Truth” – i.e., a US government’s alleged attempt to create an Orwellian-like institution – [The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Disinformation Governance Board ] was a fairly safe bet that the strong backlash notwithstanding, the initiative would rear its head again at some point. Soon.
