Since July 14, unidentified federal agents in Portland, deployed at the direction of President Trump, have been using unmarked vehicles to ambush and forcibly detain Black Lives Matter protesters. Many of these officers, reports reveal, are from the Customs and Border Protection’s Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC), known as the SWAT team of CBP. And some of the nation's largest consulting and public relations firms are being paid millions to support CBP's operations.
His strategy is clear: Scare older, Caucasian voters in the suburbs and in rural areas with the threat that those bad people from the inner cities are coming to get them. This is part and parcel of that strategy.
Our country is being destroyed by a demented (like in Alzheimer's), narcissistic sociopath! What a wonderful combination of neurologic disease merged with horrible personality traits!
I'm always so impressed by how you're able to dig this stuff up, Judd! Now I'm wondering how we in the public can put pressure on consulting firms like Deloitte, McKinsey, & Booz Allen. ?
Having dealt with a narcissistic psychopath in RL (and knowing that they all use the same playbook), this is Trump flexing muscle, in this case, militaristic muscle. It's a test run, a Putin-esque show of force. We need press all over this. We also need OR's Atty Gen (who presents like a relative weakling) to come down HARD on it). And massive public response. There's a reason this happened in OR. The little dictator needs backlash. No excuses.
As best as I could tell then, and my memory serves now, back in 1999 at the WTO Protests in Seattle, Feds had Goon Squads deployed. Full military camo-garb, and plains cloth. I was on the streets for nearly four days and nights. Public exposure is the only way to offer some accountability now and in the future. For that I thank you as always Judd!
These pictures of federal troops on the streets of an American city is shocking to the system. That greedy corporations are spinning their narrative is confusing. How do any of these public relations and management consultant companies dare to put out these BLM messages while they take money to oppress BLs?
It is imperative that those troops leave Portland and go back to their own private hells. Write, call, text your congressperson. Tell them NO
A Twitter friend was roughed up by this group Sat night in Portland. Damaged the nerves in her hands scared her dog immensely. This the Gestapo.
This group of militarized thugs has waited their whole life to be able to attack American citizens in the streets. May they rot in hell with Trump and his minions. I just hope we get to vote in Nov. This bunch of companies makes me sick supporting this and benefitting from it.

Reprehensible!

Please don’t refer to these thugs and body snatchers as “police.” They are not and they do not belong on our streets.

Is Pete Buttigieg available for a word salad on McKinsey's involvement with the CBP?

Thank you Judd for exposing them.
What do we next?
