'And the law wrapped around this move is even worse. The National Security Act criminalises “support,” “assistance,” “promotion,” and “material benefit” — vague terms that can be stretched to fit whatever the government wants. It removes the requirement to prove a foreign power connection in many cases, meaning prosecution becomes easier, looser, and more political. Civil liberties groups are already warning that journalists could be exposed if their reporting is interpreted as “support.” That’s not paranoia. It’s literally what the law says they can do.
Fourteen years in prison for speech. Fourteen years for reporting. Fourteen years for being on the wrong side of a government that now decides what opinions are legal.'
Back in the 60s and at the height of the Vietnam War, Jane Fonda, a Hollywood star, visited Hanoy, then the capital of North Vietnam which was under heavy US bombardment.
But, on her return, she was not even remotely subjected to what Max Blumenthal, Kit Klarenberg, Matt Kennard, and the like have been subjected to.
Try to imagine the Feds seizing the typewriter and writing materials from someone like Dan Rather or Walter Cronkite after a trip to Vietnam. That could/would not happen, then. It's a measure of how much more authoritarian our government has become, which is exactly what empires do when they are on their way to the dustbin of history. They lash out at their own citizens for the "crime" of telling the truth about the government, and TPTB simply cannot allow that to happen.
They can do this to anyone now, I believe - zero evidence - just suspicion - and are able to deport you - or keep your device at the discretion of the officers present if you choose to resist the order to open it for them…
Simply classify the opposition as terrorists. Problem solved.
that certainly seems to be the tactic they have adopted
See Yvette Cooper and UK domestic policy announcements…
These weaklings are scared of the movement but nothing will stop it
It wasn’t for the crime of reporting but the crime of truth. For every murderer caught, they are arresting and making truth tellers disappear

Both of them lied for the government. They weren’t truth tellers.
