Did Delta Force using a secret SONIC WEAPON in the Maduro raid?

The claims that the US used a new secret sound weapon in Venezuela are not well sourced. It’s not clear if any actual Venezuelan guards made these claims. If they did, it’s possible they are making it up. Or, if they did, it’s possible they were hit by flashbangs, buzzing drones, and breaching explosions and just thought they were being hit by some new, hightech weapon.

MAHA Republicans Are Imposing New Food Labeling Mandates

“Seed oils have become a major target of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, whose figurehead is Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “Seed oils are one of the driving causes of the obesity epidemic,” according to Kennedy, who has accused fast-food restaurants that use seed oils of poisoning Americans.

But among nutrition experts, opinions about seed oils and health are much more mixed, with plenty suggesting they’re fine in moderation, are better than alternatives, or are unwisely treated as a unit despite the fact that different seed oils have different properties and effects on health.

There’s also mixed evidence on the effects of common food dyes and additives)”

DHS Says Recording or Following Law Enforcement ‘Sure Sounds Like Obstruction of Justice’

“”Observing, following, and recording law enforcement are unambiguously protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution,” Bier tells Reason. “They are not obstruction of justice. The right to record helps guarantee justice by ensuring accountability and an accurate record of events.”

The guiding First Amendment principle behind these court decisions was most memorably expressed in the 1987 Supreme Court ruling in Houston v. Hill, which struck down a Houston ordinance that made it unlawful to oppose or interrupt a police officer: “The freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state,” Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan Jr. wrote.”

ICE Shot a 21-Year-Old in the Face and Blinded Him

ICE repeatedly exercises a gratuitous use of force.

Multiple ICE agents have threatened protestors by referring to the killing of Renee Good. These are threats to kill people by law enforcement, often for simply being annoying. The implications are more aggressive than simply, ‘hey, if you protest or/and don’t listen to my orders, we may possibly get into the situation where I have to kill you to defend myself.’ The implications are, ‘Keep annoying me or disobeying me, and I’ll fucking kill you like we did that woman.’

ICE’s Violent Terror Campaign Is Worse Than You Thought…

Reportedly: ICE Agent: “You guys got to stop obstructing us. That’s why that lesbian bitch is dead.”

That ICE agent seems ready to use deadly force in more than a strict self-defense situation.

A border control agent reportedly said that he and his comrades thought the protesters were crazy. It’s easier to use force against someone who you perceive as crazy.

Last year, more people died in ICE detention than any previous year.

Citizens are being detained because they seem illegal to ICE and Border Patrol. Native Americans are being detained because ICE thought they were illegal foreigners. According to a Native American woman, an ICE agent told her “we’re coming for you” for no reason. She said that she was Native American, and he said, “yeah, you’re next.” That doesn’t sound like someone professionally enforcing the law.

When Washington Crossed the Delaware on Christmas 1776, It Wasn’t in the Name of Christian Nationalism

“Most people see America as an experiment in classical liberalism, whereby the founders created a system of limited government, religious pluralism and liberty. Religious leaders are free to spread their message through the culture—but not to take control of the levers of power and base lawmaking on their sectarian Bible interpretations. The Constitution protects everyone’s natural rights, with its main purpose limiting the sphere of government—not implementing rules to assure proper religious observance.

There really is no other way to seriously read our Constitution, but many religious people still argue the founders were Christians who envisioned a Christian nation. Some of the founders were indeed devout Christians and these folks cherry-pick Christian quotations from them.

Christian nationalists often argue that America cannot survive as a multicultural, multi-religious nation. To which I’ll quote a 1788 rebuttal from George Washington: “I had always hoped that this land might become a safe and agreeable asylum to the virtuous and persecuted part of mankind, to whatever nation they might belong.” As we approach the 250th anniversary of our founding, Americans must not let Washington’s brilliant legacy and the nation’s ideals get hijacked”
