Charles P Pierce: The Authoritarian Operation in Portland Is Only a Dress Rehearsal

24. These police state types of attacks need

to be protested loudly and frequently across the country in mass demonstrations to prevent them from spreading and escalating. Our best defense against this spreading is pushback NOW to show that such tactics will not be carried out easily. This is a dry run. It WILL spread if they get away with it.

Organize groups around the country to push back on prevrnting people from being terrorized by federal kidnappers.

I often wondered why Germans who did not support the Nazi roundups of people did not gather to protect families and individuals from being taken from their homes. Fear, of course, and being outnumbered by armed SS. But if they had formed protest groups earlier on, they could have made it harder to do. They did form secret groups to hide and protect people, and smuggle them to safety, but that kind of protection would not work in what is happening now.

Nazis targeted specific groups. Today's kidnappings in Portland are aimed at random people to terrorize protesters. Maybe we need to think about how to deal with these Pinochet style terrorist tactics aimed at random people.
